popular baby names -

To whom it may concern,

Your data nomination Popular Baby names concerns data maintained by the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and determined to be a public data set. The data is currently available on the open data portal at https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Health/Most-Popular-Baby-Names-by-Sex-and-Mother-s-Ethnic/25th-nujf

I'm looking for a version of the 2017 Turnstyle Usage Data (https://data.ny.gov/Transportation/Turnstile-Usage-Data-2017/v5y5-mwpb) that tracks entries and exits in smaller intervals of time (e.g. 5 minute intervals). The dataset available on NYC Open Data tracks these metrics in 4-hour intervals.


I'm trying to measure train usage at different times during peak travel times. For example, I'd like to measure train usage at 8 am vs 9 am, but the data currently available only tells me overall usage between 7 am and 11 am.

Hi,

At this time, we believe that your nominated data set is not maintained by a New York City agency. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is not a NYC Agency

Some entities may not be covered by NYC open data law. You can find further detail on the law here: http://www1.nyc.gov/site/doitt/initiatives/open-da...

Department of Transportation (DOT)

Hello,

Firstly, I just want to say how impressed I am by the NYC Open Data project! You all have done such a fine job!

Before I ask my question, I wanted to let you know that I am using this data to let me know when I receive parking tickets.

So to my question. Several times a day on the Brooklyn Bridge heading to Manhattan, there are several trucks who exceed the Low Bridge height maximum and get stuck on the Brooklyn Bridge. Usually, the trucks sit on the bridge for a while till the police arrive and they escort the truck as it reverses off the bridge. All traffic is blocked on the bride when this happens.




How would I find out about these incidents? I assume the truck is issued some sort of violation but I haven't been able to find an appropriate violation type.

Hi ,
The incident you described seem like it would be considered a moving violation and not a parking violation. Moving violations are handled by NYS DMV.
Regards,
NYC Department of Finance

I am looking for data on evictions over the past five years, at whatever is the smallest geography allowable. There was a dataset that was made public on Open Data earlier this year, but it was then pulled.


I am trying to measure evictions across different housing types.

The evictions database is not currently available. While the New York City Department of Investigation maintains the database, data is sourced from city marshals across New York City.
We are currently in the process of reviewing this policy and assessing the logistics of cleaning the data and providing digital access.

1. Traffic data (preferably sorted by quarter). If there is some figure that points to aggregate traffic levels in the city, such as average stoppage time, or even vehicle volume.
2. Taxi/commissioned vehicle figures-- if there is data describing not only yearly (or quarterly) license volume but ridership, that would be ideal.
3. Bike lanes-- any data set with figures on bike lane expansion in the city.


I am trying to answer how the Citi Bikes program (in conjunction with bike lane expansion) has impacted aggregate traffic in the city. In conjunction with this, I would also like to see impacts on MTA ridership as well as taxi/limousine/commissioned vehicle usage.

Department of Education (DOE)

I'm looking for a data set of all NYC public school principals whose campuses have more than 30 teachers for mailing a brochure.


What are the principals' names and addresses whose campuses have more than 30 full time teaching staff?

To whom it may concern,

At this time, we believe that your nominated data set is not maintained by a New York City agency.

Some entities may not be covered by NYC open data law. You can find further detail on the law here: http://www1.nyc.gov/site/doitt/initiatives/open-data-law.page

You can also submit a new nomination with additional detail and specifically named agencies for referral.

Thank you,
