The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2019.

Read together — 34% permit, 37 years of accumulation, a parcel of New York — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$31.9M of New York, written across 501 government filings.
