Data Question

Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP)

I would like to know what the difference is between two business categories in this data set: Grocery-Retail and Supermarket. How does the DCWP differentiate between these two types of grocery stores, as there is no zoning law that outlines differences in square footage, number of items sold, etc. Please respond as soon as possible, as this is key to a timely journalism project grounded in data analysis of DCWP charges.

Data Question

The NYC Open Data Team

Is there any possibility to get all 4 million records? I use Xquery but it is limited to bring only 1000. Is there any possibility to get with out restriction ?

ACRIS - Real Property Parties

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/636b-3b5g

By default, the API returns a maximum of 1,000 records per request. To retrieve more than that, you can use the following techniques:
- Increase the Limit: You can increase the number of records returned by using the $limit parameter. For example, to request 50,000 records, you would use the following query: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/abcd-1234.json?$limit=50000
- Paginate Using $offset: To request additional records, pair $limit with $offset to paginate through the data. This will allow you to pull the data in smaller batches: 
- First Page: ?$limit=50000&$offset=0 
- Second Page: ?$limit=50000&$offset=50000 
- Optimize Your Query: Before making large requests, it's helpful to filter your results using the $select, $where, and $order parameters. This reduces unnecessary records and improves query performance. 
For more information on query parameters and how to work with large datasets please consult the following articles: 
- The LIMIT Clause
- How to Query More Than 1000 Rows

Data Question

Department of Buildings (DOB)

Right now there is no way to go from LPC Permits (which can easily be reviewed) to DOB job numbers. It would be very helpful to add the LPC docket to this dataset to solve that gap. Otherwise you have to look up by block/lot/apartment to find the job.

I am trying to find architects and contractors who have done similar projects to what I want, and so the LPC filings are helping me narrow it down given their good descriptions of the work.

Data Question

New York City Police Department (NYPD)

I'm having some issues with trying to isolate which tickets are for bikers as the "SUMMONS CATAGORY" for BIKE only returns the previous type of criminals summons for bikes (ie: bike on sidewalk, bike in park, and biking criminal infraction). 

Similarly, when I try to sort by "OFFENSE DESCRIPTION" using bike-related words or phrases --- I'm still missing moving violations like RED LIGHT (DISOBEY). 

I'm wondering if you could provide me with numbers for how many bike-related criminal summons you issued in quarter two and with cleaner data which tags bike/ebike-related summons with correct "summons category." 

If not, please let me know if it is accurate to say that nearly all of the 3,700 red light disobey tickets are for cyclists --- as last quarter there were only 14 criminal summons total for the same offense.

Data Question

New York City Fire Department (FDNY)

Greetings, I have two questions about this dataset.
- First, the data dictionary mentions a column called "atom", which is not included in this dataset. Is it possible to get access to a version with "atom" included?
- Second, is there a map of the incident dispatch areas, which are included in this file, to understand what areas these are?

EMS Incident Dispatch Data

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/76xm-jjuj

1. Regarding the “atom” column: The “atom” field is not included in the Open Data EMS Incident Dispatch dataset because it was removed due to HIPAA and patient confidentiality considerations. Including this field could potentially allow identification of individuals or reveal sensitive dispatch details. If you are looking for geographic grouping or area-level information, we recommend using the “zip code” field available in the dataset instead.
2. Regarding the incident dispatch areas map: We do not currently provide a public map of the dispatch areas within this dataset.
 
Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

Data Question

Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS)

Hello,
For fun I'm creating an nyc.gov job search clone. I've noticed that there are many duplicate job ids (job_id). I'm currently filtering them out and displaying jobs that have unique ids. It occurred to me with so many duplicates (nearly 50%), I might be inadvertently filtering out good data.
Is there a good reason for all those duplicate job ids? If I want my app to display unique jobs only, should I continue to filter them out?

Thank you,
*****

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for your question. Most positions are posted both internally (only current employees can apply) and externally. Our recommendation is filter out the Job_IDs that are duplicate if the only difference is the Posting Type.

Hi!
It seems that BBLID should be 10 digits, but it seems that there are 6 digits. And the first digit should be in the range of 1-5 (stands for borough).

Sidewalk Management Database - Violations

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the BBLID field in the Sidewalk Management Database-Violations table. The BBLID field is an unique identifier, not the actual Borough, Block, Lot for a property. You will need to match the BBLID field in the Violations table to the BBLID in LotInfo table to identify borough, block and lot.

Dear City Register Team,
I hope you are doing well.
I am an international student currently outside the United States. I am considering renting an apartment located at the following address:
*****
The property manager I am talking to is *****. Before proceeding with further payments, I would like to verify the following details:
1. Who is the current legal owner of the property located at *****
2. Are there any properties in New York City currently recorded under the ownership name *****? 
If possible, could you kindly provide the owner name(s) on record for this address and confirm whether ***** is listed as either the owner or an associated party for this property or any other properties in New York City?
I greatly appreciate your assistance in helping me ensure the legitimacy of my rental arrangement.
Thank you very much for your time and support.
Best regards,
*****

I *** who previously had access to ACRIS at this link: https://www.nyc.gov/site/finance/property/acris.page# whick now blocks me with a message: "Further access to ACRIS is denied." The instructions at https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/ACRIS-Real-Property-Master/bnx9-e6tj/about_data are designed for computer specialists who understand their convulated language. Whereas before it was an easy task to access ACRIS and real estate brokers could then easily get on with their job - now your system makes it impossible for working members of NYC to get the data they need to do their work.

Please explain the existing public sources used to generate this dataset on a monthly basis, and the detailed process used to generte the monthly file from those sources (including relevant business logic).

NYC Citywide Rolling Calendar Sales

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/usep-8jbt

The Monthly Rolling Sales file is created by using sales data from ACRIS. This monthly rolling sales file contains 12-months of property sales within New York City, excluding “DELETED” and “Utility” Property Sales. The 12-month timeframe is dynamic and contains the previous 12 months of sales before the reporting month. For instance, for the reporting month of September 2025, we would have the rolling sales reports with sale dates from September 2024 to August 2025.
 
The ACRIS datasets can be found in the Open Data Portal by searching on the keyword “ACRIS”. The building class of a property is from the ACRIS datasets at the time of sale and the tax class values are based on the building class values.

Data Question

Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)

Hello, I am wondering how this AQI dataset gets updated and why the dataset shows that it was updated on March 25, 2025, when the data itself is only as recent as 2023. I am working on a story about recent AQI changes across the city in the last few years, and would love more information on data collection for this dataset. Thanks!

We update Open Data once a year on Earth Day with the most recent results of our modeling which requires a full year of data to do. The 2024 neighborhood average values will be available on our Environment and health data portal [on.nyc.gov/dataportal] by about November 2025 and Open Data will be updated April 22, 2026. 

The best source of details about how the data is collected and modeled is our annual report: [nyc.gov/health/nyccasreport]

The contract amounts associated with the following three RequestIDs appears to be incorrect: 20210524108, 20240124139, 20120119015. These errors are significant because the dollar volume appears to be so grossly overstated that it impairs meaningful analysis of the dataset.

Data Question

Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH)

The LA has published a list of Published Decisions, available at https://cannabis.ny.gov/oah, which appears to identify entities involved in cannabis-related activities without the necessary registration, license, or permit.
We also found another resource: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/OATH-Hearings-Division-Case-Status/jz4z-kudi/data_preview, which contains information about entities with case statuses from the OATH Hearings Division. This dataset also seems to pertain to cannabis enforcement actions, similar in nature to the first source.
However, there does not appear to be any overlap between the entities listed in the two datasets. Additionally, many entries in the second dataset include only addresses, without corresponding company names.
Could you please clarify the distinction between these two datasets? Furthermore, could you explain why company names are missing for many addresses in the second dataset? If available, could you also provide the associated company names for these addresses?

Or if that occupancy classification could be provided via a different file, I could cross reference it against the 2023 data that I previously downloaded.

I am writing to inform you of an error in the Open Data dataset “DSNY Disposal Sites Used by Facilities by Year” https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/DSNY-Disposal-Sites-Used-by-Facilities-by-Year/99xv-he3n/about_data
 
For the year 2019, Facility Tons/Day (42,460) by Disposal Site used is incorrect for Covanta-Essex deliveries.  On an annual basis, this would be in excess of 12 million tons, which exceeds total DSNY waste exports by a factor of four. I am aware that deliveries to Covanta Essex are direct dumps and do not involve transfer stations.  This does not explain this error.
 
Furthermore, a cross check with the Open Dataset “DSNY Disposal Facilities Used by Year
“ (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/DSNY-Disposal-Facilities-Used-by-Year/6r9j-qrwz/about_data) confirms that this value should be 1,315, not 42,460. Please correct this error in the next update of the dataset.

Data Question

Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)

Hello NYC Open Data Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m currently working on a data analysis project using the “Leading Causes of Death” dataset available on your platform. As I was exploring the data, I noticed that the available records only span from 2007 to 2014, despite the dataset being listed as last updated in December 2024.

I wanted to kindly ask whether more recent data will be included in future updates or if there is a reason why data post-2014 has not been made available. Given that this dataset is a vital resource for public health analysis and policy research, having access to more current records would be incredibly valuable — especially for identifying long-term trends and disparities in health outcomes across communities.

I appreciate the work your team does to make data accessible and transparent, and I look forward to any insight you can provide.

Problem 1: Filtering data sets stops at the third filter level. When attempting a third filter, the web page goes bland with the exception of the header. This is happening with multiple data sets. I tried quite a few and none of the data sets worked with a third filter.
Problem 2: I can't edit the dataset metadata of an unpublished dataset. A week ago, the query data was not updating, and the query could not be edited. That problem is no longer happening. I do not want to these queries. They are intended for internal use by a city agency.
A question: I want to be able to bring a filtered dataset into an MS Excel file and have it update automatically, or with a refresh of the data. Where would I find instructions for how to do that?

The errors are not in one data set. They are occurring in multiple data sets.

1. Thank you for flagging the filtering issues on the Open Data portal. Our vendor has implemented an update, and you should now be able to apply multiple filters in the “Query Data” section without any problems. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you encounter any further issues or have any questions.
2. We will forward your concern to the open data coordinator at DCAS for further assistance.

Hi,
Logging this in response to an inquiry from myself + ***** - thanks in advance for your help!

In order to merge recorded events with permittable areas, I'd like to request a column that allows direct merges between the CEMS extract in the linked dataset, and the permittable areas dataset (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Recreation/Parks-Permit-Areas-Map/fc69-ufed). Right now, it appears to only way to proceed is via geocoding, which will likely be messy + have merging errors. This is for work with the *****, which has several NYC agency stakeholders.

Hello Open Data Team!

Reaching out about recent schema changes to the OTI building footprints dataset. We have tools that pull the datasets locally every week, and expect a specific set of field names. Our script last ran successfully on 5/22/25, and failed last night (5/29/25) apparently due to changes in the field names in the dataset.

We can re-work our scripts to accept these new field names, but we wanted to first confirm that this is an intentional change on the side of OTI, and if so, that the changes made so far are intended to be the static schema moving forward.

All the best,
