Apparently there was an observatory on the 71rst floor when the building first opened but it closed for some reason after only a few years:

The upper three floors are now leased out to private commercial tenants. i think there may have been a dentists's office up there at one time. From what I've read, there isn't much of anything left today from the original interiors:
