Completed in 1970, 1659 2 Ave rises 30 stories over New York. Public records put it at 261 units and 363,389 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C2-8A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $109M, and assessed for tax at $49.1M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,157 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward permit: 515 of its 1,157 records, fully 45%, fall under that one heading. Inspection (312) and violation (120) 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 2024.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 38, with a site energy-use intensity of 84.9 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 1,832 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 45% 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.

$109M of New York, written across 1,157 government filings.
