Methodology. Data sourced from New York City's official municipal permit-issuance feed and refreshed daily. Permits are counted by issue date. Declared construction value reflects what the applicant declared on the permit application and is filtered to remove obvious data-entry errors (values under $1,000 or above $50M are excluded from totals). "This week" means the trailing 7 days through 2026-08-02.
