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 489 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 100 of its 489 records, fully 20%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (85) and inspection (84) trail well behind. 12 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 2017.

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 — 20% 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 489 government filings.
