Where is excavation filed in New York City?
2993 filings in the current snapshot record earthwork and excavation. Excavation and site work — usually the first visible sign that something is coming. 128 changed status in the last 7 days.
A filing can record several kinds of work at once, so this count overlaps with the other categories rather than dividing the catalog into separate piles.

One filing can carry several kinds of work at once, so earthwork overlaps with the new-building count rather than sitting apart from it. 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.
