Did you make a diagram ? Why not ?? Do it now !!
angle of depression = angle of elevation
so, you are now standing in the park looking up at yourself on top of the building...
tan 44º = (height of the building) / (distance of park from the base of the building)
solve for distance of park from the base of the building...what did you get ? did you try ? Why not ??
[distance ≈ 165.685 ft]
