I am trying to obtain a dataset showing all community gardens in NYC. I would also settle for a dataset only depicting GreenThumb gardens. It looks like its available at this link https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Qw-Ve_uP0G0J:https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/NYC-Greenthumb-Community-Gardens/ajxm-kzmj+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

But I cannot access it when I create a login with my Cornell gmail account. I used to be able to access it a few weeks ago, but the permissions seem to have changed.


I am trying to see where these gardens located in relation to regions of high food insecurity (i.e. pockets with many people on food stamps)
Response
Hello,

Thank you for your message regarding GreenThumb Community Gardens. The dataset is now back on the Open Data Portal here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/NYC-Greenthumb-Community-Gardens/ajxm-kzmj Check the Open Data Portal periodically as we anticipate posting an updated dataset in the coming months.

Best,

We are looking for subway and bus ridership data for the last 5 - 10 years. We are interested in when and where people are getting on and off buses as well as when and where people are exiting and entering subway stations. We also would like a unique identifier corresponding to an MTA card to determine when and where a specific user enters and exits the public transportation during individual trips.


We are looking at taxi, citibike, uber/lyft data to determine what parts of New York City are most frequently travelled as a way of determining where building new subway and bus stops would have the most impact. We would like to use the ridership information to analyze the existing usage of public transportation and identify stations that are over/underutilized. We can then use this information with the taxi/citibike/rideshare data to decide which stations/stop should be prioritized for maintenance and which stations/stops could be modified/moved to better accommodate the highly trafficked areas.

Dear NYC Open Data,

I am a student at Columbia University currently working on a final project for a GIS course. I would like to obtain the data found here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-7-Major-Felony-Incident-Map/dvh8-u7es

I was sent there via https://maps.nyc.gov/crime/ after clicking to download the Crime Locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn for Murders, Rapes, Felony Assaults, Robberies, Burglaries, and Grand Larcenies.


The purpose of my research is to determine the safety of our local parks. I would like to use this data to perform a buffer analysis and reference that to a shapefile I have for New York's subway stations. My project is due next week and would therefore like to know if I can obtain this data by the end of the week so I can continue working on my maps. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

Dear Opendata NYC,

I'm looking for a New York historical crime data, as far as I tried to find, all inks are broken.

Link to data ( from US CITY OPEN DATA CENSUS ):

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/hyij-8hr7 ( I'm getting error screen - " The current user doesn't have access to this view" )

( same: "The current user doesn't have access to this view" )

As I can see in NYPD website, they're implementing new system - CompStat 2.0, it may be related to this )

Could You help me on this matter?

I'm trying to make a study on trying to predict and see patterns and various other things, regarding crime location and what influences crime in general, like weather, income, population density, etc.

Hello - I was hoping the city would consider making the data held with the office of professions available to the public. This includes information re: licensed professionals in New York.


The information is currently available on their website (but obviously not the API). It would be helpful in identifying licensed professionals in the State/City of New York
Response
Hello this is an office of the larger New York state and is not a New York City Agency. Here is the direct contact for this office:
