New York City is in the midst of a building boom as evidenced by permit filings at the Department of Buildings. Over the last fiscal year, the DOB agreed to the construction of 52,618 residential units. This represents a massive 156 percent increase from the previous fiscal year and a 749 percent increase from the post-recession low of 2010, according to an analysis of U.S. Census data by the New York Building Congress.
