NYC Open Data Help Desk: Public Dataset Requests

7036

New York City Fire Department (FDNY)

I'm writing to request an update to the EMS Incident Dispatch Data published at https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/EMS-Incident-Dispatch-Data/76xm-jjuj.

The most recent data available in the version of the dataset published on the Open Data Portal is from February 2020. Data on incidents from March 2020 to the present are not available on the Open Data Portal.

Under Section 23-502(c) of the administrative code of the City of New York, this data is a public dataset, which must be updated "as often as is necessary to preserve the integrity and usefulness of the data sets to the extent that the agency regularly maintains or updates the public data set." The omission of EMS incident dispatch data from the past six months compromises the integrity and usefulness of this dataset, because it prevents the public from understanding recent changes in the caseload and response time of EMS during the COVID-19 pandemic.


I am hoping to conduct a statistical analysis of EMS incidents from March 2020 to the present.

Response not sent yet.

Department of Education (DOE)

Hello. I am trying to look for a comparable directory listing public elementary schools throughout NYC (all 5 boroughs), similar to your DOE High School and Middle School Directories for 2020 which I've already obtained via Open Data.


I work for the *** (I'm a business librarian), and several of our advisors in the NYC area are working with clients involved in educationally-focused small business projects.

Hi ,

Unfortunately, we do not maintain a directory of elementary schools in such a format as there is no need given students begin at kindergarten.


Thank you

Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)

My name is ***, and I'm a graduate student at *** working with ***. We are working on a project that matches the data from a COVID-19 serology study that took place in NYC in April with the number of deaths due to COVID-19. Our goal is to find the Infection Fatality Rate, or the likelihood of death after infection from COVID-19. I'm happy to provide more details about our project if you'd like.

So far, we've been operating off of some archived data from NYC Health (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data-archive.page). It's been incredibly helpful but we're looking for a bit more information -- specifically, (1) how many COVID deaths occur between ages 45-54 and 55-64 (they are currently grouped as 45-64), and (2) age distribution in boroughs. Dataset (2) doesn't necessarily have to include COVID data - we are just looking for the age distribution for each NYC borough.

Thank you!


What is the Infection Fatality Rate of COVID-19 in New York City? How does COVID-19 vary by age and by borough?

Good Morning,

Data current as of: 8/10/2020

Count of confirmed COVID-19 deaths among 45-54 and 55-64 year olds in NYC and age specific 2018 population by borough (see below).

These data were produced by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Surveillance and Epidemiology Branch.
These data are intended to be shared with the requesting non-DOHMH party only.
Do not share with any person or agency not included in the original data request.
If you do want to share this information beyond the original request, you must contact the SurvEpi Desk Officer to request permission: ICS-SurvEpi-Dofficer@health.nyc.gov


Note:
Data are preliminary and subject to change.
Data may not exactly match other available datasets or figures, due to missing information and time of data aggregation.


Rates for annual citywide-, borough-, ZCTA (ZIP Code Tabulation Area)-, and demographic-specific categories were calculated using interpolated intercensal population estimates updated in 2019. These rates differ from previously reported rates based on the 2000 Census or previous versions of population estimates. The Health Department produced these population estimates based on estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau and NYC Department of City Planning.

Good Morning,

Thank you for contacting the NYC Open Data help desk. NYC does not license bodegas. Businesses that sell food or food products for off-site consumption need a Retail Food Store License. Businesses that sell hazardous foods such as milk, eggs, and meat need this license. This license is issued by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets

2. median household income by zip code. Really any measure of average or median income per zip code.


The objective is to investigate if a correlation between income and COVID-19 can be established and if so how strong that correlation is by applying linear regression models and analysis or an otherwise appropriate model

Good Morning,

Thank you for your inquiry. COVID case counts by modified ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA) can be found here: https://github.com/nychealth/coronavirus-data/blob/master/data-by-modzcta.csv.

Crash data in an extract I could request or an API.


I was wondering if you might be able to help me with a question I had regarding New York Crash Data that I understand you help to manage, or you if you could forward my inquiry on to the appropriate person that would be much appreciated. I have worked for the last 2 years with the TxDOT CRIS system to create an easy way for Texans to find and order a copy of their accident report, as well as currently working with the California Highway Patrol SWITRS and Floridas FIRES system.

The Beta version of https://app.myaccident.org was launched in March of 2019 and now helps over 50k visitors a month find their accident report. The site uses a redacted version of the data and helps people to locate and ultimately order the report from the CRIS online purchasing system.

I was hoping to bring the site to New York and wondered if there was a redacted version of the current New York Crash data in an extract I could request or an API.

Thank you for your question. NYPD already provides this public service. The weblink is: https://collisionreport.nypdonline.org/

To obtain building floor plans you would need to visit a Dept. of Buildings customer service center and request, and pay for, each building's floor plans individually. If instead you decide you want only building height measurements you would likely not find that on Open Data, but you could explore MapPluto, which is a collection of building data from the Dept. of City Planning and the Dept. of Finance.

Add to previous datasets request (Today's Date: 7-10-20 at 8:26 am)
To Whom It May Concern:
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly on this important matter.
I am looking for the hourly water consumption datasets and daily datasets in NYC (including five boroughs: Manhattan, Queen, Brooklyn, etc.) I would love to get access to datasets from different locations and various industries. With these datasets, I will be able to analyze and investigate the different aspects of impacts as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the water usage pattern in NYC.
Again, thank you for your reply and support on my research project, I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Xiaoqing Wu

Previous Datasets Request (Date: 7-6-20)
To whom it may concern,

During current pandemic, access to clean water and proper sanitation are essentially important. The use of water has changed around the world due to governmental policies and guidelines (such as “PAUSE Stay at Home Order”) on controlling the spread of coronavirus. It is good that understand the impacts of water usage during coronavirus pandemic, and to study the factors which contribute to the changing water use pattern in New York City due to the COVID-19 outbreak. And It can help us to make a better decision in the future.

Fortunately, I was able to obtain the “Monthly consumption and cost data by borough and development” from the NYC OpenData website. In order to better study the factors which contribute to the changing water use pattern in New York City as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, I discussed with my mentor. Then, she suggested me to contact you for obtaining more datasets on daily and hourly water consumption (or water usage) in the New York City for the year of 2020.

I will very appreciate if you could send me those datasets, which will be helpful for my research projects and my understanding towards the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic to the water usage pattern in NYC.

Thank you for reading this long email, I am looking forward hearing from you. I hope you safe and healthy for the rest of your week.

I would like to get a more up to date reading for shooting within the last 3 months? Can NYPD convert their updates to a more frequent time series? I need this information possible by next week.

Hello, this is a follow up to a previously requested a data layer the Flood Hazard Mapper web application named 'Base Flood Elevation (2015 PFIRMs)', with the attribute 'Elevation Above Grade" (it is the fourth item listed in the layer list).
You pointed me FEMA's webpage, but the dataset I need is not in FEMA's collection. I believe the layer I need https://dcp.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=5268a74fd4b04a7894c9b85ef7a8a6a3 may have been developed by DCP by overlaying the FEMA BFE with the City's DEM. Can you please advise is you can send me this layer as a shapefile or geodatabase. Please call me at 949 235 6517 if it would help to discuss. Thank you.


Potential flood vulnerability to electric utility facilities

I cleared with our agency that we can share the data with you. Please submit an email to dcpopendata@planning.nyc.gov. The Open Data feedback platform does not allow us to see your email address. Once you send the request for the data I can make the data available through one of our data sharing platforms.

I do want to point out that there are some limitations with this data including;
This dataset is being provided by the Department of City Planning (DCP) for informational purposes only. DCP does not warranty the completeness, accuracy, content, or fitness for any particular purpose or use of the dataset, nor are any such warranties to be implied or inferred with respect to the dataset as furnished on the website. DCP and the City are not liable for any deficiencies in the completeness, accuracy, content, or fitness for any particular purpose or use the dataset, or applications utilizing the dataset, provided by any third party.

Also, here is more detail about how the dataset was created and its purpose: FEMA’s Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (PFIRMs), released in 2015 as part of a citywide flood map update, are the best available flood hazard data for building code and planning purposes. They show areas vulnerable to flooding from 1% annual chance storm, also sometimes called the Special Flood Hazard Area or 100-year floodplain. They also show today’s 0.2% annual chance floodplain, also known as the 500-year floodplain. In addition to showing the extent of flooding, the PFIRMs also show Base Flood Elevations (BFE). BFEs are the computed elevation to which floodwater is anticipated to rise during a 1% annual chance storm, measured relative to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Combining the height of the BFE above the ground elevation at the building’s location with required freeboard
will determine the elevation to which a structure must be elevated or floodproofed to meet code requirements for new construction or to receive reduced flood insurance premiums. This layer displays the height of the 2015 PFIRM BFEs above ground elevation based on the 2010 NYC Digital Elevation Model. Property owners should consult a certified engineer or surveyor to determine the exact elevation of their structure in relation to the BFE.

I'm hoping to have the individual-level data from the teacher, student, and parent surveys. I don't need any individually identifiable information. There can just be ID numbers in place of any identifying info.


I'm hoping to see what kind of relationship there is between student, parents, and teacher perceptions of social justice in the school. I need the individual-level data so I can see if the relationship changes based on each groups' race/ethnicity, gender, ability, and, (if available) socioeconomic status. It's still a vary nebulous idea, so if further clarification is needed, please let me know.

I'm looking for a version of the active sheds dataset (https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/buildings/html/sidewalk-shed-map.html) that goes back over time. I'm hoping to analyze not just the sheds that are currently installed, but also those that existed in the past.


I'm hoping to track over time when sheds were in place on individual blocks in the city.

Dear ,

The application information on Open Data does not include that detail for applications processed through BIS. Applications that include shed installation can be found in DOB NOW: Build - Job Application Filings data set. There is a column there titled "Shed" and 'true' or 'false' values.

Thank you,
The NYC Open Data Team

Can you add the date of the notice of violation and date of mailing (as opposed to just the date of violation) for camera violations?


Whether there is a corrrelation between the date when the NOL is generated and the date of mailing.

Hi ,

While we will consider, as a future enhancement, the addition of the Notice of Liability (NOL) issue date to this Open Data Portal dataset, we do not have access to a separate mailing date. The violation date and NOL issuance date are fed to our system from the DOT camera system, and it is implied that the NOL issue date and the NOL mailing date are always the same.
Any questions regarding a potential lag time between the date the NOL is issued and the date the NOL is mailed would have to be answered by DOT.



Thank you,
- NYC DOF
