NYC Open Data Help Desk: Public Dataset Requests

Department of Education (DOE)

I am looking for attendance rate and "% of 1st Year Student Earning 10 or More Credits" of NYC high schools for the following academic years 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012.


I am reviewing these factors to determine if they correlate with the dropout rate of the high school.

Hi,

You can find the list of datasets maintained by the Department of Education here:
https://data.cityofnewyork.us/browse?Dataset-Infor...

While The Department of Education NYC Open Data team is committed to making NYC DOE data available for anyone to access online, we cannot accommodate requests to create specialized reports for single data points or records that might not be available in an Open Data dataset.

Thank you,

Department of City Planning (DCP)

I am looking for a list that can match a list of addresses with what that building is being used for, e.i. if I have the address 4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001 I would try to find out what the building is and what it's used for which would be Madison Square Garden.


I'm trying to figure out the purpose, use, and occupancy (what company is using the building or not) of class B buildings in the city.

Hi ,

Department of City Planning (DCP) puts out a dataset called PLUTO (table) or MapPLUTO (shapefile). This dataset contains every tax lot in the city, and contains attribute data on land use, building code, owner name and other property info. This would be your best source for looking up this information.

The one issue you may encounter using PLUTO is the address field. This field comes from the Department of Finance for tax purposes and is not always complete or accurate. I would suggest running your list of addresses through geosupport our batch geocoder, or geoclient (api) to convert your addresses into Borough, Block and Lot (BBL) numbers. That way you can match your list of addresses with BBLs to the PLUTO lots. There is also an application called GOAT where you can enter an individual address and return the BBL.


Thank you,

Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC)

I would like to know if it is possible to obtain historical records of active taxi medallions.


My research group is trying to see how many taxi drivers start driving and how many drivers stop driving and how these entry and exit of drivers is related to the business cycle.

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out. Based on your requested dataset and the question you are trying to answer, I believe you are asking for two different things-- inactive medallions and inactive drivers. The taxi medallion is a permit which allows a vehicle to operate as taxi and accept street hails in the five boroughs, whereas the TLC driver's license allows a person to drive a taxi or for-hire vehicle (i.e. app car like Uber or Lyft, or traditional black car/livery/luxury limo service) in the five boroughs. The medallion vehicle may or may not be owned by the person who drives it as some taxis are part of fleets and most are leased, so an inactive medallion does not necessarily mean a driver has exited the market. Regardless, we already have an inactive medallion list on Open Data here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Transportation/Medallion-Vehicles-Inactive/jgtb-hmpg

With regard to inactive drivers, we only release the active driver lists on Open Data, though drivers who have been suspended or revoked could potentially be obtained with a FOIL request. However, it is worth noting that TLC's driver license is a universal license, meaning that the same license can be used to drive a taxi OR for-hire vehicle, so you would not be able to definitively say that a taxi driver has exited the market, only that a TLC-licensed driver has. If you would still like to make a FOIL request or inquire about the process, follow the instructions on this page: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/tlc/about/request-data.page

Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC)

I am looking for data regarding not only the Violations Recently Issued and any Stop Work Orders issued.


We would like to analyze the data. We are safety consultants so we would like to keep track of the type of violations going out so we can be aware of what needs to be adjusted and to see if we can help prevent these issues.

Hi ,

You can find information about violations in our DOB ECB Violations [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/DOB-ECB-Violations/6bgk-3dad] and DOB Violations [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/DOB-Violations/3h2n-5cm9] datasets.

You can find Stop Work Orders in our DOB Complaints Received dataset [https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/DOB-Complaints-Received/eabe-havv]. For this, you'll look at the Disposition Code column and match it to our Disposition Codes list [https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/buildings/pdf/bis_complaint_disposition_codes.pdf]. Most of the Stop Work Orders should have a Disposition Code of A3 or L1, but there are a few other specific Stop Work Orders in the list, like K4 which is a Stop Work Order that specifically has to do with Cranes.

Hi,

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

A dataset similar to the one you requested may be maintained by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. That department maintains a page about air quality here: https://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/8406.html.

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:

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out about the FHV Base Aggregate Report. As part of our new driver pay legislation, which went into effect Feb 1, 2019, the TLC has split the FHV category into High Volume FHV (companies doing +10,000 trips per day) and Traditional FHV (all other FHV bases). These two types of FHV have different reporting requirements and different deadlines to submit records to the TLC.

DOB Buildings Information System and DOB NOW Build databases. While data from these database does exist in OpenData, it is very incomplete and not updated.


Complete analysis of current and historical permits, job filings, COs, etc.

Hello,

We do not intend to release any new Buildings Information System (BIS) datasets, as they are being made obsolete by our new DOB NOW system. We are actively working on releasing more new datasets for DOB NOW, and we will continue to release the data as new functionality is added to DOB NOW.

In the next month, you will see a refresh of our DOB NOW Electrical dataset, as the automation has finally been completed. We have committed to releasing Elevator installation and repair data by October. And we plan to list release dates for several more DOB NOW datasets in this year's Open Data Annual report.

You can subscribe to our open data email list. And in the meantime, check out our existing datasets that relate to your specific requests.

Thank you,

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to request information on responses to calls for service (dispatch responses) from the New York Police Department. I am seeking records to complement the public disclosure of this data through the NYC OpenData for your city and police department.

Specifically, I am interested in the following information:
• Data Observation (Rows): Call for service responses
• Time Frame: 1/1/2007-Present
• Data Fields: Dispatch code, Call Description, Priority Level of Call, Call Disposition, Address (with Street, City, Zip), Geographic Coordinates, Police Division, Police Beat, Time of Call, Date of Call

I am requesting these records in digital format as csv or excel files transferred via email or some other internet platform transfer, rather than as DVD discs.

Please let me know if there is any way that I can help to clarify or complete the request. I understand that completing this request may require payment to cover administrative or operational costs.

Thank you for your assistance and help in this matter.

Sincerely,


I'm interested in looking at patterns of victim reporting.

​Thank you for your question. Call for service statistics are tentatively scheduled to be included in the new data release on the NYC Open Data Portal in October 2020.

An up to date dataset of the entire membership of all the county committees in New York City, including executive members and appointments.


These bodies create and oversee the rules that define how each local political party operates on the county level, as well as nominate and fund political candidates for local elections. They are hugely influential to our democratic process, but because of conflicts of interest, the membership of the county committee is often not made public. The position of *** is that these positions should be public in order for citizens to know about the CC and be more engaged in their democracy. Thank you.

The type of information that you request is not available as data points at the Department of Buildings. You could request access to view building plans.

Hi ,

HPD does not publish a shapefile of the 421-a geographic exclusion area. However, the 421a statute includes the BBLs that make up the exclusion area, so the map is replicable.
