How many sheds per day go up?

using historical data, we can see that there’s a seasonal pattern, where more sheds go up in the early summer. The trend seems to be pretty constant and doesn’t seem to be increasing year to year.

How many sheds have gone up during the pandemic?

There was a big decrease in sheds going up during this time

Is there a correlation between age of building and how long a shed goes up?

Not sure how trustworthy the “year built” field is in the pluto data, data is pretty noisy

Is there a correlation between the year it was first altered?

Similar pattern to the plot above, the two date are correlated

Is there a correlation between DOB violations and how long a shed stays up?

There’s a curious separation in the data between sheds that stay up < 1000 days & more than 1000 days

There are 69 properties with liens
