Completed in 1962, 159 Alaska St rises 8 stories over Richmond. Public records put it at 634 units and 550,010 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R3-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $29.6M, and assessed for tax at $13.3M. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 2,367 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 967 of its 2,367 records, fully 41%, fall under that one heading. Violation (569) and complaint (553) trail well behind. 93 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 2025.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 9, with a site energy-use intensity of 3.8 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 15 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 41% permit, 38 years of accumulation, a parcel of Richmond — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$29.6M of Richmond, written across 2,367 government filings.
