NEW YORK (PIX11) – A housing database by the New York City Department of City Planning shows that nearly 34,000 new homes were created in the last year but it also shows disparities in where those homes were developed.
DCP Housing Database shows that 33,974 new homes were completed in 2024, the most units completed in a single year since 1965. However, of the 59 community districts in New York City, only 10 of them permitted as much housing as the other 49 combined.
