A RegWatch Dossier

1,530records on file

Completed in 1989, 159 West 65 St rises 45 stories over New York. Public records put it at 396,861 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C4-7. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $205K, and assessed for tax at $92.2K. In the 38 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,530 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward sale: 478 of its 1,530 records, fully 31%, fall under that one heading. Release (315) and mortgage (278) trail well behind. 1 violation stands 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 2011.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 57.4 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 5,574 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 31% sale, 38 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.

$205K of New York, written across 1,530 government filings.
