These are filings, not finished buildings. Many are approved and never started, and the storey and home counts are what the applicant proposed rather than what was built. 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.
