Completed in 1871, 165 Mercer St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 7 units and 30,020 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-5/R7X. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $15.4M, and assessed for tax at $6.9M. In the 58 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 279 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 138 of its 279 records, fully 49%, fall under that one heading. Violation (36) and enforcement (20) trail well behind. 4 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.

Read together — 49% 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.

$15.4M of New York, written across 279 government filings.
