Data Question

Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)

The data definitions are incomplete – would you be able to share the descriptions of the "flag_" fields?

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Health/Mental-Health-Service-Finder-Data/8nqg-ia7v/about_data

Thank you for your interest in DOHMH’s Mental Health Service Finder dataset. The dataset is currently not up-to-date and is being reviewed for accuracy. With that, DOHMH has decided to remove it from the NYC Open Data portal as we want to avoid confusion. DOHMH is already working to create a comprehensive and searchable database of all behavioral health providers to eventually replace this.
 
In the meantime, NYS has a page dedicated to service providers across the state: Find a Program.

Reported Error

Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP)

Hi NYC Open Data Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding the Issued Business Licenses dataset (resource link).
It appears that geospatial fields (e.g., latitude, longitude, or property location) are missing from this dataset. It looks like only 'latitude' is listed as an attribute in the list of fields as well. These fields are essential for spatial analysis and visualization, particularly for organizations like Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) working to improve local economic conditions in partnership with city agencies.
Our team at *****, a Geo-CRM platform designed to support place management organizations, is actively helping NYC's BIDs enhance access to business license records and collaborate more effectively with city agencies. The inclusion of geospatial data in this dataset would greatly improve how these organizations analyze trends, manage resources, and plan for improvements.
Could the geospatial fields be added or updated to include location information associated with each license? Please let me know if additional information or clarification would be helpful.
Thank you for your time and for maintaining such a valuable resource for New York City.
Best regards,
*****

Issued Licenses

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/w7w3-xahh

DCWP publishes address and location information for premises businesses and does not publish address or location information for individual licensees.
With regards to the attribute list, there are 31 fields in the dataset. If you scroll to the bottom of the attribute list on the “About” page and select 50 from the “Rows Per Page” drop-down, you will see latitude and longitude are both present in the list.

Data Question

Financial Information Services Agency / Office of Payroll Administration (FISA-OPA)

Is there an available dataset that correlates NYC Payroll data with the home county of the recipient? I am not looking for employees' home addresses, or even tying individual employees to specific payroll, but I would like to see how much of the City's payroll is paid out to employees in each of the counties where they are registered as living.

Citywide Payroll Data (Fiscal Year)

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/k397-673e

FISA-OPA does not maintain home county information in any of its datasets posted on Open Data. You may want to direct your request to a different agency, such as DCAS. Adding new information to the existing Citywide Payroll dataset would require FISA-OPA to recreate the data-set. As a result, it would create data integrity issues and the potential compromise of sensitive information, such as undercover officer information. FISA-OPA has no way of properly identifying what information was or should have been subject to redactions.

The data for the most recent plan publication date "2024 11 20" has the incorrect values for the field "YR1_FY". Currently each row has it as "2026" when in fact the Year 1 on this financial plan is "2025".

Also OMB should combine this dataset with the other revenue plan dataset (Revenue Budget & Financial Plan -- Exec\Adpt\Prel | NYC Open Data) as they only differ by one column: an extra year of forecasting. Combining the two sets would allow the public a full view of the revenue changes instead of knowing that they need to download two datasets.

Data Question

The NYC Open Data Team

OTI GIS works with you to publish "Building Footprints Historical." It includes a column named LSTMODDATE. This is documented well under the About-Columns section of ipkp-snf6.

However when I download the shapefile for this dataset that column is gone. It is replaced with 2 columns: date_lstmo and time_lstmo.

I think this is probably a mistake. But if this is part of some new plan can you please tell us more about which columns will be replaced when published to open data? Or perhaps we can alter the formats of the data we provide you to avoid this? THANKS

BUILDING_HISTORIC

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/ipkp-snf6

The original shape file is not longer recreated during the export process. During exporting, some changes to the data might take place as part of the platform's process that cannot be changed on our end. In any case, the original shapefile is split into two layers that are uploaded separately to https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Building-Footprint-Historical/ipkp-snf6 and https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Building-Footprint-Historical-P-Layer-/9xsq-wn7d.

OTI GIS links from our detailed Github metadata to the datasets that we publish with you to NYC Open Data. After this "Grid View Removal" update it appears that all of our links point to "deprecated" items.
https://github.com/CityOfNewYork/nyc-geo-metadata

For our understanding, all NYC Open Data OTI GIS 4x4s will have changed after this update?

Is it safe for us to update our links to NYC Open data now? Or are these 4x4s and URLs still in flux?

New York City Fire Department (FDNY)

Hi
My colleague and I are working on a project using NYPD 911 CFS data (particularly focusing on mental health-related calls). We are curious about the EMS data. Are EMS data a subset of NYPD 911 call data that received emergency medical services responses? We want to make sure our understanding is correct. Since they these two datasets do not have the same identifiers, we could not check this on our end. Thank you very much!

EMS Incident Dispatch Data

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

1. Are you referring to NYPD Calls for Service (Year to Date) as the “NYPD 911 CFS data?”
2. Standard operating procedure is that all calls to 911 are first received by a Police Communications Technician and then routed to EMS for medical emergencies.
3. We recommend checking with NYPD to verify how they record calls that are received by a PCT but routed to EMS.

Data Question

Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC)

I know that Uber started to incorporate the hailing of the yellow taxis on their platform a few years ago. I hope to do some research related to these trips, and have a few questions regarding the public TLC trip records:
1. For the yellow taxi trips that are hailed on the Uber app, are they in the Yellow taxi trip record dataset or High-Volume For-Hire Vehicle trip record dataset, or are they in any of the public datasets at all? I have this question because from my understanding, while these trips are executed by yellow taxi, the trip records should be recorded via the Uber app database and not the taxi meter.
2. If they are included in one of these public datasets, are there any identifiers that show whether the trip is hailed on street or online via an app? 
3. If this information is not available in the public dataset, are we able to request it for research purposes?
 
Thank you so much!

2022 Yellow Taxi Trip Data

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/qp3b-zxtp

We received your inquiry from the NYC Open Data Helpdesk. Our response is as follows:
1. Uber-forwarded yellow taxi trips show up in the taxi data since they were performed by a taxi. Unfortunately, we don’t have information to distinguish which rides were forwarded from Uber.
2. We are able to identify trip records for e-hail rides (hailed through apps like Curb/Arro). For yellow, flex fare e-hails can be identified from payment_type=0; for green, it would be payment_type is null and trip_type is null.
Hope that helps.

Data Question

Department of City Planning (DCP)

Hello! I used to work with the MapPLUTO dataset regularly a few years ago and have been asked to take a look at it again. In the past not only was the MapPLUTO polygon dataset available, but there was also a dataset of polylines that represented the edges of the lots (I think these edges were actually used to generate the polygons at some point).

Do these lot edges still exists, and are they available for download?

Thank you!

https://www.nyc.gov/site/planning/data-maps/open-data/dwn-pluto-mappluto.page

MapPLUTO (polygon version) is still freely available on the Department of City Planning’s open data page. I’ve worked at City Planning for the last 19 years and I am not aware of a polyline version, it is possible Department of Finance (DOF) may have had a version of the Digital Tax Map that was just lot edges. Regardless, if you have access to GIS software you can convert the MapPLUTO polygons to polylines using several different tools (feature to line, polygon to line, polygon to centerline, etc.).
Best,
Department of City Planning (DCP)

I frequently use this dataset in helping create maps of NYC. But its so massive it's really hard to download and wrangle in QGIS or R each time. I'm trying to write a query that will only pull entries for a list of bbls. I'm able to get this to work with small numbers of bbls, but I often want to pull buildings for, say a whole community district, which involves generating a list of hundreds of bbls to paste into my query. When I get up to that many, it often fails. Is there an easy way to do this?

When I do a search for 511 on the home page of the Open Data Portal I do not get any dataset. But when I google 511 NYC open data I get the below dataset. Does it mean the search does not work when searched with 511 or 511 FDNY
https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/511-FDNY/gjnu-x7d7/about_data

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/511-FDNY/gjnu-x7d7/about_data

The dataset that you linked to (511 FDNY) is a community created asset on our portal, not an official NYC Open Data dataset. It was created by a member of the public by filtering one of our official datasets, OATH Hearings Division Case Status (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/jz4z-kudi). When searching directly on our platform, the results will only feature our official datasets, not views created by the public.
To learn more about community created content you can refer to this article: https://support.socrata.com/hc/en-us/articles/10552522485015-Community-Created-Content.

We hope this helps and hope you have a happy new year!

Hello! The Doing Business dataset is very out of date, compared to the data on the website(https://apps.nyc.gov/dbnyc/) -- the website was last updated 11/30/24, and the Open Data version was last updated 1/18/24. Would it be possible to update the Open Data version to reflect the lastest version of the data? The website is extremely difficult to query :). Thank you!

Hi,

Is there a plan to upload the same farmers market dataset for 2025 as was done for 2023?
If not, would it be safe to assume that the data remains the same, aside from the start and end of the seasons?

Thank you for your help

Data Question

Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC)

Hello there!
With NYS, the maximum number of characters on a passenger/commercial license plate is 7 characters. I noticed that the DMV_License_Plate_Number can have 9 in some instances. To help me understand the data better, I was wondering how that may be possible?

An example VIN with this is: *****

Thank you for the help! I appreciate it!

For Hire Vehicles (FHV) - Active

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/8wbx-tsch

Hello Michael,
We received your inquiry from the NYC Open Data Helpdesk. Our response is as follows:
I believe the DMV plate number associated with the VIN in the example you provided has an extra 0 at the end for some reason. Standard (non-vanity) FHV TLC plates are 8 characters long and start with T and end in C.
Best,
Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC)

Data Question

Department of Transportation (DOT)

To whom it may concern,

I am a postdoctoral researcher at *****. I am
working on a project to analyze spatio-temporal urban mobility patterns, and
the type of activities/behavior driving such patterns.

I was looking at your data from the Mobility Survey but noticed that the spatial
information is aggregated at CMS zone level, and that the location records are
not publicly available due to privacy concerns.

Is it possible to obtain the location data so we can use it in a research project?
What would be needed? e.g. a form, a description of the project?

Thank you for your help.

Data Question

Department of Transportation (DOT)

Hello!

In this data set there are columns sign_x_coord and sign_y_coord which in the dictionary say are latitude and longitude. However the numbers in those columns just are not the latitude or longitude of New York City. Do you know how to convert?

Thanks!

Parking Regulation Locations and Signs

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/xswq-wnv9

We received your inquiry from the NYC Open Data Helpdesk. Our response is as follows:
Thank you for your request, please use this updated Parking Regulation Locations and Signs dataset. You may use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications to convert X,Y to Latitude and Longitude such as ArcGIS (license required) or QGIS (free and open source). Unfortunately it’s not possible to add latitude and longitude to the dataset on Open Data at this time because the parking sign tracking system does not contain this information.
As a courtesy, we made the conversions for the parking regulation signs in the attached CSV.

Data Question

New York City Police Department (NYPD)

I work for an analytical consulting firm whose primary clients are insurance companies or insurance product companies. We use this data to predict the risk of crime for businesses in certain areas. Of great importance is the use of latitude and longitude.
When we started using this data two years ago, the lat/long data related to the location of the business. We recently compared our previous data to the most current information, and we noticed that the historical lat/long data has been changed and now displays what appears to be the location of the police station nearest to the crime. Interestingly, this change applies to years 2006-2020. and not to more recent data (2023-present).
Question 1: Can you please help us understand the reason for the change? Question 2: Is the recent data still the location of the crime?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
