We now have the total 2015 housing permit numbers for U.S. cities.
NYC permitted 56,528 units of housing in 2015, which is the highest total since the 1960's.
For multifamily units, it might be the highest total since WW2? Not sure. There was tremendous building permit activity in the 1950's and 1960's, but much of it was the filling out of more suburban parts of Staten Island and eastern Queens.
I know NYC.gov keeps a list of housing permits dating back to the 1930's. I'll try and find it.
