I recognise that DNA Strain. OP is Edward Miller who lives on 724 Independence Avenue, New Jersey.
I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to look it up, and there's not one single Independence Avenue in NJ. Independence Drive, Court, Road, Lane, but no Avenue.
I know you did it intentionally so as to not dox OP, really respectable shit.

Finger for scale
Fascinating. Ain't no 25 floor brick buildings around here.
The Monadnock Building is "the tallest load-bearing brick or masonry building ever constructed," and it looks to be about sixteen floors, though I suppose it's quite possible there are non-structural brick elements in taller buildings.
This photo was taken on the 25th floor of the building
Edit, lots of bricks, the building is steel frame clad in brick and terracotta
1412 Broadway

to everyone so worked up about bricks on the 25th floor:
if you search for '1412 broadway' (which OP mentioned multiple times) you quickly find 'Elsie Rooftop' bar. which, in fact, is on the 25th floor of 1412 broadway. on opentable, you find this picture of the bar:
which shows, that there are bricks on the 25th floor of 1412 broadway. and that there is a structure in the background, which looks quite similar to what OP posted.
is it proof, that everything about OPs picture and small description is genuine? no! is it enough things that matches, so that I believe them? yes! especially considering that this would be a weirdly well constructed forgery for some internet points...
The building is steel frame with brick and terracotta facade which is actually pretty common in NYC
Cool pic OP. Love that sort of 'bizaree slice of life'.
What building is this?
1412 Broadway
Quite the conduit run too.
