A RegWatch Dossier

900records on file

Completed in 1901, 16 Cooper Square rises 7 stories over New York. Public records put it at 2 units and 117,391 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-6/R10. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $34.9M, and assessed for tax at $15.7M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 900 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 399 of its 900 records, fully 44%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (262) and enforcement (84) trail well behind. No 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 2023.

On the environmental ledger, the building is benchmarked under Local Law 84, with a site energy-use intensity of 66.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 874 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 44% permit, 60 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.

$34.9M of New York, written across 900 government filings.
