The Department of Buildings requires the filing of applications for permits and supporting material for the construction of new buildings or alteration of extant buildings in New York City. This collection contains the plans and drawings for the buildings on all 958 blocks of Lower Manhattan, from the Battery to 34th Street, as well as a small amount of material for blocks outside that area, that were filed with the Department of Buildings between 1866-1978. In 2018, the Municipal Archives received an award from the New York State Library Conservation/Preservation Discretionary Grant Program for processing and re-housing a section of the Manhattan Building plans pertaining to the neighborhoods of Tribeca and Soho.
