He and his band of pranksters — a mix of real figures, like Phil Ochs, and stand-ins for real figures, like Sy Neuman (Jerry Rubin) — drop dollar bills on traders at the New York Stock Exchange, haul tenement trash to Lincoln Center, mail joints to establishment bigwigs and nominate a pig for president.

After a year of digging on a former tenement site, the Market Line is under furious construction; dozens of workers are building an open space to be used by 100 vendors, including the current Essex Street Market, as well as new fishmongers, vegetable stands, butchers, a beer hall and a wine bar.

But then you hit a milestone birthday, or a relationship becomes more committed, or your niece starts talking about attending an expensive art college — or all of the above, and the hotelier Ian Schrager and his partners start erecting a luxury hotel-condominium across the park from your Lower East Side tenement.

The roughly 30 layers of paint and 20 layers of wallpaper in the old apartment building, now the Tenement Museum, are "the very evidence of people coming to these tenements — which are so often associated with cramped, crowded, dirty conditions — and looking for some kind of beauty for their space," Mr. Murphy said.

At 2nd Floor Bar & Essen (Yiddish for "food"), above the 2nd Ave Deli, on the Upper East Side, the millennial makeover goes a step further: the kinds of Old World dishes my great-grandmother made for her family of eight in their East 105th Street tenement kitchen are given the fussy small-plate treatment.

Perhaps it's the all-glass balconies on the remodeled tenement house across the street that were throwing off Mr. Scharf's memories — just one clue that monthly rents have jumped far beyond the $150 that the average Club 57-goer would have paid for a neighborhood apartment in 19833 (still the equivalent of less than $500).

Working with her and the writer Samuel C. Floyd, he rehabilitated a tenement building on East Second Street in the East Village, where in 1974 he opened Kenkeleba House, a nonprofit interdisciplinary residential center for artists — including many of African, Asian, Latin or Native American descent — to whom the New York art world was inhospitable.

The nonprofit Washington Street Advocacy Group and others have sought landmark status for the church's neighbors: the Downtown Community House building at 105-7 Washington, which at one point became a Buddhist temple but is currently vacant, and a tenement building at 109 Washington, which is next to a lot where buildings have been demolished.

The marketing materials for a luxury condo might advertise top-flight amenities—on-site SoulCycle, say, or valet stroller parking—but buyers have no legal recourse after they move in and discover they have to haul their strollers up six flights like a tenement-dweller; as a matter of New York law, only the final sales contract is binding.

One looks at the pictures he made in Chinatown and Little Italy toward the end of the war, full of American flags and patriotic embraces, and senses his appreciation of the eclectic energies at play in the city, along with a feeling that the old tenement world was ready to take a fine leap toward something better.

The writers who shaped my sense of my country were mostly born in America some thirty to sixty years before me, around the time that millions of the impoverished were leaving the Old World for the New and the tenement slums of our cities were filling up with, among others, Yiddish-speaking immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe.

There are now four owner-occupiers of the street's 13 houses, as well as four institutions: the Honorable Society of the King's Inns, where lawyers are trained; the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, where nuns live; Na Píobairí Uilleann, a pipers' club, where a valuable collection of Irish bagpipes is held; and now the tenement museum.

So while the notorious Lower East Side tenements described by Jacob Riis in "How the Other Half Lives" packed in some 1,183 people per acre, leaving only 13 percent of the tenement blocks as open space, Queensbridge Houses in Queens, from 1939 — one of the largest public housing complexes in North America — was built for 245 people per acre.

These include "Family Business" (2003), which chronicles the liquidation of his father's furniture store and tenement holdings with novelistic amplitude; "American Power" (153), a sweeping survey of the forms of energy production and the ways in which they affect individual lives; and "New York Arbor" (2013), a stunning portrait gallery of the city's outstanding and venerable trees.

But the City Planning Department and advocates from the real estate industry countered that the developer was already burdened with maintaining adjacent landmark properties (a four-story tenement and a five-story loft building, both home to the popular camera store Adorama), and that the additional air rights it was using were simply being reapportioned within the site rather than added to it.

She describes how it might have felt for a young girl to lose her virginity to a handsome man in a shabby boarding house; recreates the sounds and smells of a summer night on the roof of a Harlem tenement; brings to life the romance of the chorus line and the thrill of teenagers roaming the streets with their friends.

Despite earlier rain and the kind of suffocating heat that would drive a '30s noir heroine to shoot her cheating husband in a tenement apartment, people crammed into the makeshift front row and craned their necks and phones into the runway, flipping their heads to see the next look with the kind of vigilance usually reserved for jaywalking at a chaotic Manhattan intersection.

Fire buckets were filled with trash, emergency water bins were cracked and half empty, no one wore safety masks, most workers — some in their early teens — were barefoot, wiring was exposed, bolts of fabric and scraps littered the floors, window panes were broken, and the lone stairwell out of the tenement-like building was obstructed by cartons of finished product destined for Russia.
