To whom it may concern:

Your data nomination for Group Childcare Services concerns data maintained by the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and determined to be a public data set. The data can currently be found at https://a816-healthpsi.nyc.gov/ChildCare/ChildCareList.do and is scheduled to be available on the open data portal by December 2016.

Tree database for Central Park, Prospect Park, Riverside Park, and all other large parks within the five boroughs.


Trying to understand the density, species, size, and distribution of all trees in New York, not just the street trees (from the relevant dataset) or even just the street and small park trees (as per the Forestry dataset).
Response
Good afternoon,

Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, NYC Parks does not currently have comprehensive tree inventories for our large parks. After the completion of the 2015 street tree census, NYC Parks staff and volunteers continued the census efforts in landscaped parks and playgrounds under 6 acres. So far, we have mapped and collected data on over 70,000 trees in all five boroughs. As this effort continues and other inventories become available, the data will be considered for release on the Open Data Portal.

In the meantime, you may be interested in the 2010 Landcover Rasters and the Urban Tree Canopy Assessment Metrics datasets currently on the portal (links below). Though these datasets are not as detailed as a full inventory, they may provide useful information about canopy and other landcover types in our large parks.

Best,
NYC Parks and the Open Data Team

Locations of all curb cuts by street address in downloadable .csv form.
Response
Hi ,

You can find all Curb Cut applications and permits in Department of Buildings datasets.

As of August 28, 2017, Curb Cut applications were required to be submitted through our online portal, DOB NOW. So look in the following datasets for:

Applications submitted 8/28/17 or later: DOB NOW: Build – Job Application Filings (Curb Cut field = True)
Permits pulled through DOB NOW: DOB NOW: Build – Approved Permits (Work Type field = Curb Cut)
Applications submitted prior to 8/28/17: DOB Job Application Filings (Curb Cut field = X)
Permits pulled through older methods: DOB Permit Issuance (Work Type field = CC)
All of these datasets include the address of the building that the Curb Cut was issued for along with the supporting geospatial data.

Thank you,

I am looking for data that tracks MTA cards over time that allows me to see its balance changing over time, i.e. I would want to see when a card is reloaded and each time it is being swiped. The scope of this dataset could be somewhat limited, for example I would only want to track them for 4-6 months. Ideally, this would also cover the period before and after the price change in March (e.g. December 2016 to May 2017). The MTA cards could also be a random sample of say 5,000-10,000 cards, but I am happy to negotiate whatever would be feasible.


This data can be used to test economic theories related to how people make decisions about actions they will take in the future. This data will not be used to test the effectiveness of the MTA, but purely as a useful and interesting test of whether a theory holds true in the real world.
Response
Hello, because the MTA is not a city agency and their data does not fall under mandates of the open data law. However you can find all MTA related data that was voluntarily provided to Open Data here:

I am looking for a spreadsheet or database of all of the licensed Electrical contractors in NYC


I am looking for the DOB to provide full access to the data-set of Electrical licenses. As of now you can do an individual lookup on the DOB site but my impression of the Open Data law (based on the description provided by this website of the law) is that they must provide the complete data-set in a usable format (spreadsheet or database file).
I have been trying to get this for several years and have not had any positive response. I know this data-set exist because several members of the NYC Electrical Advisory board have told me they have it but are not allowed to disseminate it to the public.

How can I get electronic copies / PDF or other standard format of building floor plans. I know I can get copies by going to Dept of Buildings, but is there an alternative via an API

Hi,

Building floor plans filed with the Department of Buildings are not currently available in a digital format. The only way to access them is to visit the Borough Offices, as you mentioned.

We are reviewing this policy and assessing the logistics of providing digital access. Due to technical limitations and several policy considerations, such as copyright and privacy issues, it will take some time to finish this review.

Thank you for your question, and feel free to contact me here if you have any other questions about DOB data.

Thank you,
- NYC Department of Buildings (DOB)

To whom it may concern,

Your data request for Crime Statistics concerns data maintained by the Police Department (NYPD) and determined to be a public data set, but does not contain ZIP CODES. The current data set does contain geospatial information such as latitude and longitude for further analysis. The data can currently be found https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-7-Major-Felony-Incidents/hyij-8hr7 and is available on the open data portal. This dataset was prioritized for availability because it can be used to increase agency accountability and responsiveness. Additional data points will be provided in the future.

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your message regarding NYC Parks properties and facilities. Geographic boundaries of NYC Parks properties can be found in the Parks Properties data set found here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Park... We also have directories of various park features and facilities including Hiking Trails, Athletic Facilities, and Pools, on the portal. The best way to find these data sets is to visit the Department of Parks and Recreation page on the Open Data Portal: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/browse?Dataset-Infor... In the search bar, type "directory" and a list of our available facilities directories will appear. Please keep in mind that these directories may not reflect the current inventory of facilities; we intend to update the information as part of our Open Data plan.

If you would like information about a certain facility, please let me know and I will investigate your request.
