Where did DOT's Left Turn Calming dataset go? It was previously at https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/jy2j-7quc, and this dataset provided key insight into which intersections received turn calming treatments.

Thank you for writing in. The Left Turn Calming dataset was renamed and still exists as the Turn Traffic Calming dataset (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Transportation/VZV_Turn-Traffic-Calming/hz4p-9f7s) you shared. Unfortunately, this type of map currently changes its API endpoint every time it gets updated. We are actively working with our vendor to fix this.

And thank you for bringing the overdue update to our attention. Coordinating with the NYC Department of Transportation, we just updated the dataset again earlier today.

Is there a way to identify domestic violence related calls for service in this data? I see under TYP_DES, there is often a 'family' qualifier. Is that an indication the incident was a family/domestic issue?

Thank you,

Assigned Agencys Response
Whenever a call for service is flagged as a possible domestic incident, the "family" qualifier is present in the TYP_DES column. The family qualifier appears in the TYP_DES column with several different call types. Additionally, calls for service flagged as suspected child abuse similarly can be extracted from the dataset using the "child abuse" qualifier. It is important to note that the call type is what is reported by the caller or responding officer to the 911 call taker and/or dispatcher.

DSNY required an appointment to be made for “Bulky Item” collection between Aug, 2017 – March 2022. These were appointment, not service requests, but show up in the data set. I see a few hundred appointments a month are still being made. Likely, building janitorial/custodial staff bookmarked the page after the appointment form was taken down.

Remove the Complaint Type “Request Large Bulky Item Collection” from your rollup for all years and see what you get.

I am trying to filter the building permit data excel export for permits issued for Solar PV modules. Is there a way to filter the dataset to see which permits specifically pertain to Solar? I see in the data file there are columns that are marked with alphanumeric codes such as "Job Type,"Bldg Type," "Residential," "Permit type," and "Permit Subtype." Might one of those columns provide a way to see which buildings permits issued were for solar? Also more broadly is there a better way to obtain this data than using the buildings permit database? We're trying to figure out the number of Solar PV permits issued by month in New York City.

Hello, My name is ***** and I have the following question from one of my prior posts. In the NYC Department of Corrections FY19 Report, their is a misconstrued bar graph highlighting the “Special Inmate Population”(I will add a photo below), in this graph there are a number of clerical errors and incorrect graphical representation. Number 1, there are blurred lines within each bar that make it hard to visually differentiate the involvement of jail incidents and ADP. Secondly, there is no definition of ADP throughout this whole document their is no definition of what this is. This is problematic because these reports are given for the public and if the public cannot understand it, then there is no point. I would like to say, I am not here to argue and apalogize if this message seems like I am calling, I just want a deeper though process behind the work of the DOC as it is a field I see going into in the future.

Your request was referred to the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) for response.

DCWP does not possess any data that could reasonably be interpreted as inclusive of all businesses operating in the City.

The “Legally Operating Businesses” dataset is a list of licenses issued by DCWP. Business activities requiring a DCWP-issued license are enumerated in Title 20, Chapter 2, of the NYC Administrative Code.

A current list of business activities requiring a DCWP-issued license can be found here, on the DCWP website (https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dca/downloads/pdf/businesses/licensing_industries_list.pdf).

Good afternoon,

My name is *****. I’m a Reporter at *****. I’m working on a story about a home in ***** located at *****. that is allegedly being inhabited by squatters. It is my understanding that officers within the ***** are aware of the situation and have been in contact with both the squatters and concerned community members.

It is also my understanding that squatters inhabiting homes that are not theirs is a problem that is being experienced by other neighborhoods in ***** and elsewhere throughout the city. Some residents who have been vocal about the issue say the problem has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

I was wondering if you could help me navigate the Open Data website in order to find data that reflects how many complaints either the appropriate NYC agency has received since 2020 and 2019 regarding squatters? Simple queries on the Open Data website using related words like “squatters” do not yield any results.

Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Is it possible to calculate a property's tax bill directly from the PLUTO data?

I see that assessed value is included, but it's unclear whether that's a transitional or actual assessed value and I don't see a tax class field, so I can't determine the applicable tax %.
Dataset Url
No URL Submitted.
Assigned Agencys Response
The Department of City Planning (DCP) published PLUTO/MapPLUTO. Most of its source data, including assessed values, comes from the Department of Finance (DOF). For any field in PLUTO, please make sure to read the data dictionary so you understand how the values for that field are collected and/or processed.

This is what is listed for all data related to all "Assessed Values," the Department of Finance (DOF) calculates the assessed value by multiplying the tax lot’s estimated full market value by a uniform percentage for the property’s tax class. Property value is assessed as of January 5th. If a new building is not completed by April 14th, the assessed building value is 0 and the Building Class reverts to Vacant. Assessed and exempt values are updated twice a year. Tentative values are released in mid-January and final values are released around May 25. If the date on source file (PTS), as reported in the Readme file, is between January 15 and May 25, ASSESSED TOTAL VALUE is from the tentative roll for the tax year starting in July. Otherwise, ASSESSED TOTAL VALUE is from the final roll.
For further questions about determining the applicable tax percent you would have to reach out to the Department of Finance (DOF).

I was hoping to grab the whole table once, and then only grab new rows in the future, but it seems that the :created_at system field is reset for every single row with every update! To check this I used the url https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/6z8x-wfk4.json?$select=count(*)&$where=:created_at>'2022-10-01' and see that the count matches the row count for the dataset.

We appreciate your interest in Open Data! While there is not a specific "Trash" complaint type, there is a complaint type for "Sanitation Condition." You can filter the dataset (https://support.socrata.com/hc/en-us/articles/202950808-Creating-a-Filtered-View) for this type and hopefully this will yield the results you are looking for.

Thank you for providing more information. We were able to replicate this issue when we searched for this zip code using the "Find in this dataset" search bar at the top right of the table. The issue here appears most likely because this search bar does a general search throughout the whole dataset for the entered word/phrase. Since this dataset is so large, the search function appears to time out (takes too long to return results).
Instead, try to find this zip code by filtering on the "Incident Zip" column. This allows the system to search for "10471" only in that column, thus returning results quicker.
Feel free to view this guide on filtering datasets (https://support.socrata.com/hc/en-us/articles/202950808-Creating-a-Filtered-View) for more information.
Hope this helps!

Hi,

This DOB Complaints Received dataset says "Update Frequency Daily", but it has not been updated since June 30th, 2022. 2 and a half months. That makes it fairly unusable for pulling up to date complaints for properties. Can you get me the contact info of someone at DOB who is responsible for it?

Thank you.

Hi,
I hope you're well.
I'm interested in using the historic arrest dataset. When viewing that data via OpenData's "Table Preview" I can see it spans from 2006-2021. However, when I download it, the data only span from 2006-2019. Is there a separate file I should download?
Thank you!

Thank you for contacting us. In regards to downloading the historic arrest data, it is likely that you are reaching the size limits imposed by MS Excel. If you use some other analytic tool (R, SAS, SPSS, Tableau, Power BI, etc), you should not encounter any issues.
