In the case of the Schermerhorn Row counting houses, we found the party  wall 
anchors were installed during original construction - they are  not "star" 
anchors, but terminated in a "knuckle and pin" connection. They  were attached 
to the faces of the joists, and were spaced about every five  joists. Any 
facade "stars" were later modifications. Interestingly, at SR there  were some 
anchor straps that ran through the party wall, making joist-to-joist  connections. 
Bad practice for fire prevention.
