The Zip EditionLedger live
One zipcode, fully ledgered
Everything free and useful on the block, the history underneath it, and what's coming next — 11109, sourced door by door.
The Hunters Point, Queens ledger runs past the zip line: 12 of its doors sit in a neighbouring zip — ledgered all the same, marked with their true zip.

For two decades the Davis St warehouse was the world's aerosol mecca — 350+ works, painted over overnight in November 2013, demolished 2014. The towers that rose there kept the name; a federal court later awarded the artists $6.75M. One stop north, forever on the block's timeline.

Antipode
Augusta, Western Australia
Australia
40.74°S · 106.04°E
The zip's antipode is empty ocean — the point falls in the Indian Ocean southwest of Australia, a thousand kilometres from any door. The nearest is Augusta, the small town on Cape Leeuwin where the Indian and Southern Oceans officially meet: one lighthouse, one bakery, and the whole of Antarctica next stop south.
Longitude mirror
Özgön (Uzgen)
Osh region, Kyrgyzstan
40.74°N · 73.96°E
Same parallel, longitude flipped across Greenwich — and the point lands in the foothills of the Fergana valley's rim in southern Kyrgyzstan. The nearest town is Özgön, a Silk Road stop with an 11th-century Karakhanid minaret and mausoleums of carved terracotta. New York's cast iron and Karakhanid brickwork share a latitude almost to the block.
Equator mirror
Bahía Mansa
Osorno province, Chile
40.74°S · 73.96°W
Latitude mirrored below the equator: the point sits in the Pacific about thirty kilometres off the Chilean coast. The nearest door is Bahía Mansa, a fishing cove in San Juan de la Costa — larch forests down to the water, sea lions on the rocks, and the same cold-current fog that never reaches New York.
The living ledger§ 03
The zip's other residents — the animals, plants and corals you can actually meet here, with where to find them and when they show up.

Under the block§ 05
The block from below and at the corner — the traffic signals that time the street, and the manholes, drains and subway mouths that open onto everything running beneath it. Counted from OpenStreetMap; the parts no city publishes are named, not guessed.
Traffic signals
≈31
signalized intersections
Not published · 31
Count is OpenStreetMap-derived — it maps each signalized crossing separately, so approaches are clustered into intersections (≈, not exact). The timing isn't public at all: per-signal cycle plans aren't published. Most run fixed, coordinated cycles you can learn by standing at the corner; some busier crossings are sensor-actuated or adaptive to live traffic — where a city states which, it's tagged above; where it won't, it reads Not published.
Under the street
- 15 Subway entrances
The surface access is mapped — manholes, storm drains, subway mouths and vents. What they open onto isn't: the water, sewer, gas and cable networks that run below the block are not public geometry, so they're named here, never drawn as fake lines. Points from OpenStreetMap.
Eat & drink§ 06

Under watch§ 10
The police surveillance technology documented over this block — plate readers, cameras, drones, face recognition and the rooms that pool them. Counted from the Atlas of Surveillance; a category with none documented is marked as such, never guessed, because absence of a record is not proof a tool isn't in use.
