Completed in 1918, 159 Bleecker St rises 8 stories over New York. Public records put it at 21 units and 28,380 square feet of floor area, on land zoned R7-2. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $15.1M, and assessed for tax at $6.8M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 507 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 110 of its 507 records, fully 22%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (88) and inspection (81) trail well behind. 8 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 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 25, with a site energy-use intensity of 97.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 246 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 22% permit, 58 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.

$15.1M of New York, written across 507 government filings.
