We are looking for dog population data


I am a TV producer with ***, one of major Japanese TV network. We would like to make a program about an ice cream shop for dog and human. For this program, we need the data for dog population which shows the number of dogs is increasing recently.

NYC dog population data was collected through 2008 Community Health Survey https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/data/data-sets/community-health-survey-public-use-data.page (Questions 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3) . At this time we can only provide NYC dog licensing data, which may not represent total dog population of NYC.

My team is interested in the annual attendance rate for Middle and High schools in New York City but we're having difficulty finding that data. In the past, we've been able to access Period Attendance Reports (PAR) reports and tables but haven’t been able to find old versions of these tables or updated tables for beyond Spring 2016. Will an updated Period Attendance Report be shared in July 2019 for the 2018-2019 school year?

The Statistical Summary Period Attendance Reporting (PAR) dataset on NYCOpenData, which has been shared with us in the past, only has information for 2015-2016 school year and doesn’t have attendance rate. Is there other more recent data that you can point us to, besides the monthly and daily school attendance reports on NYC Open Data?



We would like to know how our student attendance rates compare to the annual Middle and High School attendance rate in New York City.

Hi , PARs' are no longer being produced. Please see if the following data sets can provide what you need.

I'm looking for a dataset of rent-stabilized buildings in the city. The dataset should indicate a building's rent stabilized/rent controlled status along with the date of inception.


I'm trying to get a count of rent-stabilized buildings by borough, & build an interactive map which can indicate rental rates to further increase transparency for individuals attempting to navigate the rental market.

At this time, we believe that your requested dataset is not maintained by a New York City agency.

This may be due to the fact that some organizations that operate in the City of New York may not fall under the purview of the NYC open data law. You can find further detail on the law here:

I’m a researcher with the *** and I’m interested in a Public Employee Occupational safety and health complaints and their resolutions. Is there an anonymous dataset (or a dataset that could be anonymized) that we could FOIA or access that would show an employee’s title, date of complaint, nature of complaint and outcome? Or are those types of complaints typically handed by the various collective bargaining agents?
If that data does exist could we access it electronically?



We are interested in the types of health and safety complaints public sector workers most often face.

I am trying to correlate construction projects, air quality and location with lead levels trends.

Information about a child’s blood lead level is not public pursuant to HIPAA, NYS Public Health Law § 2168, and NYC Health Code § 11.09. It is also not available under the NYS Freedom of Information Law (NYS Public Officers Law, "FOIL") pursuant to FOIL §§ 87(2)(b) and 89(2)(b). Berger v.

I'm looking for loans recorded on rent stabilized properties from 2012 through 2017


I'd like to understand how the new rent regulation laws affect these loans

DOF is not the keeper of records for rent stabilized properties, but if you can obtain a listing, our ACRIS data will be able to provide information on loans recorded against the properties for the four boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.

Once a list of BBLs (Borough/Block/Lot) for rent stabilized properties is determined, this list can be matched with the ACRIS data in Open Data. To do so you will first need to download the ACRIS Real Property Master and ACRIS Real Property Legals dataset from Open Data. The ACRIS Real Property Legals dataset can then be filtered by the rent stabilized BBL list to determine the recordings for rent stabilized properties. These records can then be linked to the ACRIS Real Property Master dataset by DOCUMENT ID and GOOD_THROUGH_DATE fields. Finally the linked result can be further filtered by the using the RECORDED/FILED date to restrict to 2012 through 2017 and the DOC_TYPE field to limit to just loans. Most loans are MORTGAGEs and will appear under the DOC_TYPE code MTGE; however you may also be interested in other types of loans such as SMTG (the code for SUNDRY MORTGAGE), AL&R (the code for ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS) and occasionally AGMT (the code for AGREEMENT). See the ACRIS Document Control Codes dataset for a full list of document types than can be recorded in ACRIS.

The ACRIS Real Property Master dataset can also provide basic details regarding the loan including the date of the loan (the DOC_DATE field) and the loan amount (the DOC_AMOUNT field) and the ACRIS Real Property Legals dataset can provide additional property details like property type (the PROPERTY_TYPE field) – see the ACRIS Property Type Codes dataset for a full list of property type codes and their descriptive meaning.

Compare total proposed units in council district and total proposed MIH units in a council district

Hi ,

We have 2 datasets that you can use for this purpose.

DOB Job Application Filings - Contains Proposed Dwelling Units and GIS_COUNCIL_DISTRICT. This will give you construction jobs that were submitted to the department, and you can use Job Status Descrp to tell if the construction is active.
DOB Certificate Of Occupancy - Contains PR_DWELLING_UNIT and COUNCIL_DISTRICT. This will give you the number of dwelling units when a Final or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy was issued. A Temporary C of O usually indicates that there's still active construction.

The information you are looking for is not maintained by NYC Open Data as it is not a data request. For information requests (documents, correspondence, etc.) we encourage you to submit a FOIL request via Open Records: https://a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/

FOIL stands for the Freedom of Information Law. The New York State Freedom of Information Law requires government agencies to provide records to the public upon request. Government records affect the lives of each New Yorker, and providing easy access to the records makes government work better. The FOIL definition of records is very broad and includes information found in paper and electronic documents and audio and visual recordings. All records are available upon request, unless an exception in FOIL permits an agency to deny access to a record. Learn more about FOIL requests via this Frequently Asked Questions page.

A listing of restaurants in existence by year from 2012 (June) through 2015 (June) specific to the Turtle Bay/Midtown East area.


I am doing economic research on the area looking to get an idea of restaurants that opened and closed/competition within the full-service restaurant (sit down and pay) industry during this timeframe. I haven't been able to find any data, and thought that instead just having a list by year of restaurants that existed would help give me an idea of places that may have opened and closed.

I am under a tight timeframe on this end and would need this data as soon as possible if it exits.

DCA does not license restaurants and does not track any information regarding openings and closings.

A full list of business activities requiring a DCA-issued license can be found on the Licensing pages on DCA website: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dca/businesses/licenses.page.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,



I am a Ph.D. student and I am studying the effect of tree plantings on housing value. Thus, I would like to know when and where trees were planted in NYC from 2005-2018.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting NYC Parks regarding tree planting records from 2005-2015. In 2015, the agency transitioned to a new database to track tree work and planting. The dataset you see on the Open Data Portal is from this database and is updated often. Tree information prior to 2015 was maintained in different, now archived, databases. We are currently evaluating the scope of work and timeline to process and release the archive.

While less detailed than the Forestry datasets on the portal, you may want to explore the 1995 (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/1995-Street-Tree-Census/kyad-zm4j), 2005(https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/2005-Street-Tree-Census/29bw-z7pj), and 2015 (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/2015-Street-Tree-Census-Tree-Data/uvpi-gqnh) Tree Census datasets. Unfortunately, these datasets cannot be directly joined to the exact tree point but you can get a sense of how tree inventory has changed overtime. More information about each of these efforts can be found here. https://www.nycgovparks.org/trees/treescount

Thank you again for your message.

Best,
NYC Parks and the NYC Open Data Team

Hello NYC Open Data, My name is *** who is a Ph.D. student at the ***. My research topic is to improve the usability of open government data, especially, the local level open government data. I was wondering if you have access to a "Search Log Dataset" - essentially what users requests and behaviors when they search the NYC Open Data Portal. Other cities, such as Pittsburgh and Chicago, have this data, which make it doable for researchers to delve into the most commonly searched topics and datasets, explore user behavior and gain insight from there. As my ultimate goal is to improve the usability of government data, it is important to know what users are looking for (or blah blah blah). I can write much more or provide examples if needed, but I thought I would start there. Thank you so much! Best,

Department of City Planning (DCP)

I was wondering if there is a dataset containing both the PLUTO data and PAD data in one dataset?


I am attempting to join BINs with BBLs.

Hi,

The short answer is no, not all of the PLUTO attributes are in PAD. However, every lot in PLUTO, both Base and Condo lots, are in PAD. For more information on the difference between lot types please refer to the tax lot section in the MapPLUTO data dictionary.

I'm not sure how you are trying to "join BINs with BBLs" unless you are doing this spatially. They will not join in tabular format as they are different values. You can use PAD or GBAT to find out which BIN is on which lot, but you need to make sure you are using the correct BBL (base vs condo) before you re-join that to PLUTO.

Note: MapPLUTO uses the Condo lots in the 'BBL' field, and contains the original apportionment BBL (like Base lot) in the 'Apportionment BBL' field.

We are looking for a list of residential buildings, square foot, amenities, units, developers, and property management in NYC.


What residential buildings exist and its total square footage. How many buildings in NYC are operated by property management services, and by which property management company.

Hi ,

You can get some of what you're looking for from Department of Buildings data.

List of residential buildings
Our DOB Job Application Filings dataset is a list of all of the active applications for construction work since 2000. This will give you a list of buildings throughout the city for those buildings that are subject to DOB oversight and that have done construction work in that time period. Older buildings that have not done any alterations since 2000 will not appear on this list. A small number of buildings that are not subject to DOB oversight, like some federal buildings, will not appear on this list. In the Building Class column, you will find a code that you can match to Department of Finance Building Class to find out if the building is residential.

Developers
For developer, you can get information about the Applicant, who must be a licensed design professional. This does not tell you what company they work for.

Square footage
In that same dataset if you scroll all the way to the right, you will find Total Construction Floor Area. This is only available for certain types of construction work where this number is required to be filled out.

Dwelling units
Similar to square footage, this is not required to be filled out for all types of construction work. For those that contain this information, you'll find Existing Dwelling Units, which is the number before construction, and Proposed Dwelling Units, which is the number after construction is complete.

The other information you requested is not available at the Department of Buildings.
