Hello,

Thank you for contacting NYC Parks regarding athletic field permits. Though Parks issues permits to leagues and individuals for the use of athletic fields, City permitting data more generally is maintained by the Mayor's Office of Citywide Event Permitting and Management. We are working with their Open Data team to process the Parks data contained within their system for release on the Portal. We anticipate additional information regarding athletic field permits to be available before the end of the year.

C) Are there any future plans of expansion?
D) Are there any alternative plans to supportive housing and its impacts ?
E) Are there any reports highlighting the Social and Economic impacts made to communities from these developments ?
E) Are there any datasets that support the findings?

I have researched tons of reports; however, nothing can trump going to the direct source.
I would like to reference and correlate my data using NYC OPENDATA.com portal.

Historic hate crime data, preferably broken down by type of hate crime (religion, sexual orientation, race etc.)


I am a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. Currently, my colleagues and I are examining the roots and solutions for hate crime in the US.

Having access to the type of hate crime on the city level (anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish etc.) for as many years as possible would be the best-case scenario. This would allow us to run comprehensive statistical analyses to examine the trends and underlying causes for hate crime.

Hi,

The information you are looking for is not maintained by NYC Open Data.

Population or demographic data is maintained by the US Census Bureau. City Planning does provide the Population Fact Finder where you can easily define study areas within New York City and examine detailed population profiles showing critical demographic, social, economic, and housing statistics, and how these statistics have changed over time. We also offer US Census information for NYC in table form on our NYC Population data page.

All of the links above will provide information predominantly about residents. The information in the map from the link you provided was modified by using subway ridership info. They used data from two sources not on NYC Open Data; 1) MTA and Steven Romalewski's MTA subway data in GIS format. See the "About" page on that map.

I'm interested in the raw data that underlies the "911-R-End to End Stacked Bar Chart Pivot Table" (see this website: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/911reporting/reports/end-to-end-repsonse-time.page). I understand this data is aggregated from both the NYPD and FDNY, so the aggregated dataset would be really helpful for researchers, journalist and public citizens to be able to truly understand the amount of time it requires for ambulances and EMS to finish a route.


The reason I'm interested in the data is to be able to figure out the end-to-end response time for particular incident groupings (for example, EMS Incident Dispatch Data which is available on Open Data provides an idea of what the incident might be under the "INCIDENT_CALL_TYPE" flag). I'd like this data on as granular level as possible, such as per latitude and longitude or per precinct. For example, I'd want to be able to figure out the end-to-end response times for all calls made to 911 regarding drug-related emergencies for particular regions. Without both data from NYPD and FDNY, I wouldn't be able to calculate that in an accurate way.

​Thank you for contacting NYC Open Data Help Desk. Please refer to 911 End-to-End Data dataset on the NYC Open Data portal at https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/911-End-to-End-Data/t7p9-n9dy

I'm interested in better understanding how fare evasion is measured by the MTA, based on this recent "Fare evasion and NYCT" report: http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/docs/special-finance-committee/Fare-evasion-board-doc_181130.pdf

Specifically, page 2 mentions:

"A randomized quarterly sample of observation surveys is generated; peak and non-peak, high and low volume stations, all boroughs represented."

and
"The sample consists of approximately 180 station control areas and 140 bus routes per quarter."

Would it be possible to publish the results of that survey? I.e. a dataset of :
-- the day a staff member visited their assigned subway or bus stations
-- the station or bus route sampled
-- how many fare evasions were recorded (ideally by "category", as described on pages 6 and 7 of the report linked to above)

There may be other relevant data / columns, but hopefully that gives you a general idea!


I'm trying to better understand how how fare evasion is measured, and how the MTA arrives at their estimates of the number of fare evasions as they are quoted in reports like this one titled "Fare Evasion and Enforcement" from March 2019: http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/docs/TAC%202019-03%20Fare%20Evasion%20v6.pdf

which states:
-- Subway fare evasion rate: 3.2% in 2018
-- Bus fare evasion rate: 18.4% in 2018

Thank you for your help!

I am finishing a book for ***on how the novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Garcia Marquez has become a global classic. I would like to know if you can share some of your data regarding the circulation/usage of this book by NYPL patrons. Many thanks.


These data will help me to answer part of the question about how this novel has become a global classic, by looking at readers' usage over time. Thanks.

Hi Open Data!

I wanted to see if you had data on the capacities of each venue. Like what the fire code allows in any restaurant, hotel bar. The question I'm looking to figure out is if I have 100 people or 30 people or 25 people... what venues would be a good fit for my group?
------
Thank you so much for getting back to me about the Capacity information. Very quickly, do your or your team have any idea how I could get access to information like that even if its not through Open Data? I see that you can manually look up through the NYC Buildings website... but are there any other ways?

Thank you!

Hi,

What you're looking for is the information from Place of Assembly applications to the Department of Buildings. This information is not currently available in our open data. We recently moved these applications into our new DOB NOW software, and we have this data on our list to be published in future. There is currently no date for publication.
------
You can look them up individually in DOB NOW (https://a810-dobnow.nyc.gov/publish/#!/) or in our BIS system (http://a810-bisweb.nyc.gov/bisweb/bsqpm01.jsp) for older permit/job applications. If you need them in bulk and can't wait for open data, you could try submitting a FOIL request (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/buildings/about/foil-requests.page).

Thank you,

I am trying to obtain permit and work history for street and or sewer work on ***, for 2017 and 2018.

Hi ,

The information you are looking for is not maintained by NYC Open Data as it is a request for multiple records likely from multiple systems for a specific location. To obtain this type of information (actual permits, work history documents, and possibly other), you will need to submit a FOIL request using 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.

Thank you,

We have created a unique AI system to analyze space, provide comprehensive info and create space layouts for commercial real estate.

Part of our project is to present the commercial real estate data in clear and understandable format. We want to take all the commercial real estate space plans and run them through our engine. In result we will receive well recognised 2D and 3D images of space plans in universally recognized format.

Hi,

Hi there,

We are doing a data study on 311 smoking violations. Our goal is to see if the recent law changes have any actual impact on people's behavior. We'd like to support our findings with tax collections information. Is there a way I could get a dataset that includes cigarette sales tax collections from 2010 to 2018?

Would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

There is no immediate plan to make cigarette sales tax collections data available on Open Data.

Hello, NYC Open Data Team,

I am a graduate researcher at the ***, working on a an exhibition at the moment comparing various cities' vacant land to Detroit. I was unable to find a data set within the portal that contained a field for vacancy at the parcel level.

Thank you,



My goal is to have this in a shapefile to map, if possible. If this information is available, could you point me towards the correct data set?

Hi,


The Department of City Planning (DCP) produces MapPLUTO - tax lot data with tax lot features from the Department of Finance’s Digital Tax Map (DTM) and is available as shoreline clipped and water included. It contains extensive land use and geographic data at the tax lot level. To find vacant tax lots you will want to use the Land Use field and select lots with a Land Use Code = 11 for Vacant Land.

The dataset that you are looking for can be found here:

Which administrative districts have highest non participation rates in 2010 census.

Hi,

The Department of City Planning (DCP) has most of the data you are looking for. However, we don't recommend aggregating census tract data by other geographies because they often do not align to the boundaries and you will ultimately have to split the census tracts. You then have to decide how to allocate the demographic data to the parts of the split census tract (there is no accurate way to do that).
