Why this page exists

A street with no filing is still a street.

East 78 Street is mapped by the Department of City Planning and carries the buildings described above, but no Department of Buildings filing in the current snapshot names it. Nothing is missing from this page; nothing has been filed. It is not offered to search engines until a filing appears here.
