Great writeup! I work with NYC open data but did not know about this dataset!
> Garages make up one-fifth of NYC buildings
I'm quite surprised by this.

Yes, something seems off. Wonder if "Parking" got lumped into "Garage"?
Type of Building. List of values:
1000 = Parking
1001 = Gas Station Canopy
1002 = Storage Tank
1003 = Placeholder (triangle for permitted bldg)
1004 = Auxiliary Structure (non-addressable, not garage)
1005 = Temporary Structure (e.g. construction trailer)
1006 = Cantilevered Building
2100 = Building
2110 = Skybridge
5100 = Building Under Construction
5110 = Garage

I wonder if this is in the parts of the outer boroughs where detached houses are the norm?

This is amazing. Unfortunately the 1960s, 70s and 80s seem to have been censored in the historic aerial maps. It's a very important period in NYC construction history where buildings with interesting shapes kept popping up.
