| | | | Actual blueprints are kept by each of the individual contractors or developers, the city only keeps a copy of the plot plan - which details utility usage and square footage of the house. Buying a copy of your blueprint is expensive and most developers will not sell them. But I know here in this lovely historic city (Philly) that sometimes they are in the archives and all you have to do is give an address. But also beware because a log is kept, ya know in case you are a terrorist and you want the blueprints for other reasons.
And jonrev is right.. sometimes they really are just in the building. I was bored one day at work and went to the basement. Sure enough...found all the blue prints sitting right on a desk.
Closer than you think~ When you dig up the past, you tend to get dirty.

| | | | I too have had luck finding blueprints inside abandonments themselves. If the building/complex has a management office or an area that served as a maintenance HQ, that would probably be the best place to look. Unless a structure is public property or particularly historically important, you're unlikely to find blueprints in a library or archive. A site plan, perhaps. But not blueprints.

| | | | It makes you wonder why so many are left in the buildings. Kind of odd that so many are found. Like an underground architect code or something.

| | | | I see two reasons
A ). It's the bloody Da Vinci Code
B ). Maintenance people need them to find stuff and have to reason to remove them when a structure is abandoned

| | | | I remember myself and another full member found blue prints, electrical scamstics, and many other plans, but that's the only time I've ever seen or found anything like that at a exploration site.
