What the record shows

Round trips Lee, Howard appears on both sides of five buildings — bought, then sold. The shortest hold was 160 East 85 Street at 1.2 years. Neither leg of that trade carried a recorded price.

Bundled closings four buildings changed hands on a single day, 1976-10-18. Same-day multi-building transfers are portfolio deals rather than individual sales, and the buildings in them usually keep sharing an owner afterwards.

Repeat counterparty LEVINE, HARVEY L is on the other side of four of these transfers. A name that recurs across deeds is usually an affiliate, a lender, or the same principal filing under a second entity — it is not by itself evidence of either.

Transfers without a price 12 of the 28 recorded transfers carry no sale price. Zero-consideration deeds are routine for restructurings, family transfers, and moves between affiliated entities — they mean the parties changed, not necessarily that the building was sold.

Activity window Recorded activity for Lee, Howard runs from 1975 to 2006. Nothing has been recorded in the 19 years since — the entity may still hold the buildings, or a later transfer may sit under a different name.

Spread across boroughs The buildings span three boroughs, led by Manhattan with five. Buying across boroughs points at an investor rather than a neighbourhood operator.
