What foundation work is filed in New York City?
3398 filings in the current snapshot record foundation work. Footings, underpinning and the work that happens before a building goes up. 168 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.

Staten Island holds 2% of everything on record but 11% of foundation filings — more than 5 times the citywide rate.

Foundation work appears on new buildings and on underpinning beneath existing ones, and a single job can carry both, so this is a count of filings rather than of sites. 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.
