Owners of buildings with ground- or second-floor storefronts register each one every year with its status on December 31. Counts are the storefronts whose owners typed East 138th Street in the registration, so a few with misspelled addresses are missing; each is placed in a neighborhood by its map point. The year before is shown only when both filings count about as many storefronts on the street. A vacant storefront is not always on the market: some are being renovated, held empty or already leased to a tenant who has not moved in.
