Completed in 1938, 161 West 15 St rises 7 stories over New York. Public records put it at 65 units and 126,134 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-3A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $36.6M, and assessed for tax at $16.5M. In the 71 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 703 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 297 of its 703 records, fully 42%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (146) and violation (69) trail well behind. 3 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 2020.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 87, with a site energy-use intensity of 52.1 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 486 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 42% permit, 71 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.

$36.6M of New York, written across 703 government filings.
