Look outside a double-hung window on a commercial building, and you will see them- they may be painted over, but they will be there. They are most often a small raised knob- or a pair of knobs- on a plate attached to the masonry, or to the metal mullions around the window, about midway up the sides of the windows.

I would say around the 80 floor or 81st floor setback roof. You can not look directly down from the 86th floor Observatory without seeing the 85th floor setback and the 81st floor setback from this angle taken. Sorry to disappoint the writer of the book.
