23 - According to the Empire State Building’s website, the tall New Yorker receives an electric shock from above approximately 23 times each year. The Empire State Building is so attractive, in fact, that if you happen to visit the top of it during stormy weather, you might experience static electricity. And don’t be shocked if a kiss between you and your partner offers an extra spark. In 2016, two bolts of lightning struck the same spot on the building in quick succession, which was quite an anomaly, even for one of America’s tallest buildings.
The Empire State Building is struck by lightning approximately 100 times per year.

Lightning occurs from thunderclouds, so the air needs to be warm and moist to produce the thundercloud, which will get a ting of electricity that will cause the strike to reach the ground, only lasting for a fraction of a second. Lightning tends to hit hits the high things. That's why you are always hearing about like the statue of liberty got struck by lightning, or the Empire State Building.

If you mean why is it struck by lightning... I'm pretty sure it is because it has a lightning rod on top which catches and grounds the lightning safely without doing any damage to the building
a lightning pole
Olympas...or the empire state building.
856m tall without the lightning rod
so that when the lightning strikes it makes the lightning not burn the tower.

Attracting lightning to stop it from electrocuting people.
