A RegWatch Dossier

967records on file

Completed in 1931, 157 Chambers St rises 16 stories over New York. Public records put it at 40 units and 92,408 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-3A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $3.7M, and assessed for tax at $1.7M. In the 45 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 967 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 447 of its 967 records, fully 46%, fall under that one heading. Enforcement (133) and violation (120) trail well behind. 19 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2007.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 68.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 587 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 46% permit, 45 years of accumulation, a parcel of New York — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$3.7M of New York, written across 967 government filings.
