No. Construction crane approvals are separate, and not included in structural height calculations or in FAA approvals. This is for permanent structures.
And looking at previous FAA approvals, I don't see any that don't conform with final height, so it would be highly unlikely if 520 Fifth weren't 1,069 ft. to structural tip (which doesn't contradict the 995 ft. height per NYC DOB calculations, of course).
ESB illustrates the discrepancy. ESB is officially 1,250 ft., but for the purposes of overall structural height, it's 1,454 ft.
