A slight uptick in building activity cut the number of lifeless plots across the city by 8% last month. Biggest drops were recorded in Queens and Staten Island, smallest in the Bronx and Manhattan.
As more projects were quietly restarted across the city last month, the number of stalled construction sites fell 8% from year-earlier levels to an average of 638, according to a recent New York Building Congress analysis released Wednesday.
The group noted that the number of dormant sites in the five boroughs have now either decreased or remained steady for 11 consecutive months, a sign that the market is stabilizing.
