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.
