Why this page exists

A street with no filing is still a street.

Independence Avenue 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.

The whole street

A block of Independence Avenue, as it stands.

Each building is its own outline at its own roof height, in its own place — the gap down the middle is the street. Turn it to see the other side. The letter on a roof is the building class the city files it under.

16 of the 16 lots the city maps on Independence Avenue — about 710 feet of it, the tallest 8 metres. Each building is the outline City Planning publishes for it, raised to the roof height the city measured, and placed where it stands in relation to its neighbours; nothing is arranged and nothing is to a different scale from anything else. The gap down the middle is the street. A letter is the building class the city files that building under.

What stands on Independence Avenue.

No Department of Buildings filing names Independence Avenue, and the city maps its buildings anyway. Each drawing is that building’s own footprint at its own roof height, from the outlines City Planning publishes, and the panel beside it is what the tax roll records about the lot.

16 lots are mapped on Independence Avenue. These are the first 12, and none of them is named by a filing.
