Fire Code Inspections / Violations - I know some of this info is included in the ECB dataset, but it would be interesting to see a list of the FDNY violation orders that are not included.

There is some inspection data listed in the local law 11 planned releases, but it appears to be aggregate / summary info, not info on specific inspections.
Response
Hello, This data has been published on October 1, 2017. It includes Risk-Based Inspections by field units, inspections by the Bureau of Fire Prevention, Violation Orders, and Certificate of Fitness data.

Post Vaccination Evaluation of Anti HBsAg Antibody Titers among Haemodialysis Patients - Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the second most common viral infection which poses threat of infection among health care workers and those individuals treated for various debilitated conditions in hospital settings. Patients undergoing haemodialysis are at a greater risk of acquiring HBV infection. Although HBV vaccination has been in use for almost three decades, it is not completely certain about its efficacy in long-term protection. Few studies in the past have emphasized the need for evaluation of anti-HBsAg antibody titers among high risk groups that include patients undergoing haemodialysis. Studies in the past have also noted that few vaccinated group do not respond to HBV vaccine and that few other group of vaccinated individuals develop inadequate antibody titers. The present study evaluated the antibody titers among haemodialysis patients and health care workers.

Alcohol licenses are controlled by New York State. After taking a quick glance at their web portal, it seems like the following data set used with the Legally Operating Businesses should give you your answer. https://data.ny.gov/Economic-Development/Liquor-Au...

Hi! I would like to have access to restaurant inspection grades, scores, and violation codes from 2010 to 2013. The dataset available on OpenData now only covers years 2014 to now.


I want to estimate the influence of the health inspection system on food poisoning, and it would be great to have a long history of restaurant grades.
Response
The Department is in the process of making historic restaurant data available online as suggested. Given the large size of the datasets as well as the dynamic nature of it, the process is complex and will take time to complete. We hope to have it out by the end of 2018 early 2019

For all other inquiries please submit a FOIL request.

Hi. Looking to see if there is a dataset with the Managing Agents and with the corresponding building addresses managed.


What managing agents manage various buildings
Response
This data is already published by HPD. HPD’s Registration Data is relational – that is, the data is contained in 2 inter-related files:
Multiple Dwelling Registrations: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Multiple-Dwelling-Registrations/tesw-yqqr/data
Registration Contacts: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Registration-Contacts/feu5-w2e2/data
The first datset, “Registrations” contains location information like address, BIN, BBL. You can connect this data to the “Registration Contacts” dataset through the Registration ID, which exists in both datasets.

To get building Managing Agents you would filter the Registration Contacts dataset by Type=“Agent”. To get the building address connect to the Registrations dataset.

ECB Violations and Penalties - What happened to this dataset? It was posted for a day and then removed.
Response
To Whom it May Concern:

Your data request for ECB Violations and Penalties concerns data maintained by the NYC Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) and determined to be a public data set. The data can currently be found on the Open Data Portal in the data set entitled OATH ECB Hearings Case Status which can be found at https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/OATH-ECB-Hearings-Case-Status/y6h5-jvss

This dataset was prioritized for availability because as the City's central, independent administrative law court, OATH strives to be transparent, open and accessible and making this information available on the City of New York's Open Data Portal helps OATH achieve this goal.

Hi,
I am looking for all new build permits issued for townhomes since the beginning of 2018. Please let me know if you can help with this. Thanks


Attempting to get a feel for specifically size of townhouse projects in the NYC area. Thanks
Response
Hi,

You can use our DOB Permit Issuance dataset to find all New Building permits. Sort the "Permit Type" column for "NB". We don't identify buildings as "townhouses", so you'll have to come up with a way to differentiate. To start, I would suggest filtering "Building Type" for "1-2-3 Family". You might also combine this data with the DOB Job Application Filings dataset to get the data from the original application.

I am a researcher who is looking at the effect of the opening of the Second Avenue Subway on real estate prices in Manhattan. I would like to work with the Property Valuation and Assessment data. This dataset for the year 2010/2011 is publicly available at this link on NYC Open Data:

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Property-Valuation-and-Assessment-Data/rgy2-tti8

For all other years, I need to individually search the Assessment Values for each unit at the following link using BBL at the following link:

http://nycprop.nyc.gov/nycproperty/nynav/jsp/selectbbl.jsp

However, the data presented online is only available for BBL at a time. I would like to get a file that contains the data on all the relevant properties over the time period as is available (dating back to 2005/06).

As far as I understand the information itself is not proprietary as it is available for every lot in New York in the second link, but is it possible to obtain a larger database as in the first link?


The effect of the opening of the Second Avenue Subway on real estate prices in Manhattan.
Response
Hi ,
The Property Valuation and Assessment data for years other than 2010/2011 is not yet available on the NYC Open Data portal. The data for those year can be obtained by making a FOIL request to the NYC Department of Finance.

Since the data for other years is available we will start a discussion on when it can be loaded to Open Data how far back it can go.

NYC OEM Cooling Centers - A list of cooling centers and addresses throughout the city, since the NYC web app is not yet active.
Response
To whom it may concern,

Your data request for NYC OEM Cooling Centers concerns data collected by NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM) and determined to NOT be a public data set. As such, the data will not be made available because it includes or consists of the following:

• Data that is not regularly created or maintained.
• Information provided to NYCEM by other governmental entities

Cooling centers do not exist unless the City has declared a Heat Emergency. At that time, NYCEM contacts other governmental entities to determine what facilities they can open as cooling centers for the particular day in question.
