A demolition filing is permission sought, not a building already gone. Some are approved and never carried out, and the date on each record is when the filing last changed status, not when a wall fell. The catalog is a rolling window over recent Department of Buildings activity rather than the city’s whole history, which is why the figures above are given as shares — a share survives the window, a count does not. How the record is built.
