He's not on the unfinished Empire State Building because the finished building is behind him.
Looks like something in midtown. Maybe Rockefeller Building?
I have no eye for landmarks, fixed
Chrysler building?
That was finished in 1930, two years before this picture was taken, also the angle towards the Empire State Building doesn't fit. The Rockefeller Center was under construction in 1932 and would fit the location.
