Data Question

Agency not assigned yet.

I want to be sure if this leakage data is inside buildings or in the network outside? and if you have dataset for leakage of network system for pipes outside to share the link with me if it is possible?

No URL Submitted.

The data referenced in the 311 complaint HPD + water leak dataset only references complaints inside an apartment or a public area of a residential building. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) handles complaints regarding water leaks on street, sidewalk, or other public areas. The 311 Service Requests from 2010 to Present dataset has a list of these complaints.

Data Question

Agency not assigned yet.

We pull "Dwelling Units" from the Bedbug Reporting data set. What fields can we pull Class A and Class B units, as presented at the top of HPD Online?
We currently pull "Dwelling Units" from this data set:
https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Bedbug-Reporting/wz6d-d3jb
What fields in NYC Open Data will allow us to pull "A Units" and "B Units" for an address?

For example:
39 East 29 Street, Manhattan:
HPD online:
Top of page-142 A Units, 0 B Units
Bed Bugs section - 1,420 dwelling units (I believe this was a typo, with someone wanting to type in 142 units and 0 bed bugs in two different boxes, but ended up typing in "1 4 2 0" in a single box)
We are trying to get the correct number of apartments or units for an address. So if we can also pull the class A and class B units, as presented in HPD Online, we can correct typos in the "Dwelling units" field from Bedbug reporting.
Thanks!

No URL Submitted.

The number of A units and B units can be found through the Buildings Subject to HPD Jurisdiction dataset (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Buildings-Subject-to-HPD-Jurisdiction/kj4p-ruqc). Each building in the Bedbug Reporting dataset (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Bedbug-Reporting/wz6d-d3jb) has a unique ID which you can find on the first column of the Bedbug Reporting dataset. Using this unique Building ID, look up the specific building in the Buildings Subject to HPD Jurisdiction dataset. You should be able to find the number of "A Units" and "B Units" in the LegalClassA column and LegalClassB column. Hope this helps!

Data Question

311

I am a consultant trying to put together a workflow for a client and apartment/unit is critical to my work. I previously asked why Apartment Number is not included in this data set and the response I got was to protect users privacy. This is confusing because there are other datasets that are public that do contain apartment with the exact same data. For example, you do not include apartment number for HPD complaints in this dataset but all apartments are visible on HPD.com's website.... Is there a reason its omitted here but no where else? Any chance this data will be included given this is already publicly available in other locations? Would be amazing to have one resource without having to go to one comprehensive resource without needed to look in 3 public data sets. Thanks

Data Question

New York City Police Department (NYPD)

Thank you for your helpful and thorough notes on using these NYC open datasets on calls for service. One question I have is regarding the column, "ARRIVD_TS". The data dictionary notes indicate that "Not all calls will have an arrival time." I was hoping for some clarification on that. For example, does a missing arrival time indicate that an arrival did not occur for a particular call, or is that an indicator of something like a police officer did not respond?

Thank you for your time,

Department of Parks and Recreation (PARKS)

Hi, what is are the dates for acquisition and commission referring to? Why is it that commission dates have only 2009 and 2010 years. Using this database, is there a way to identify the parks built/renovated between January 2002 and December 2013? Thank you!

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/enfh-gkve

Unfortunately, the Parks Property dataset does not retain any information about the building or renovation of parks. To find this information, please use either

Capital Project Detail Data - Dollars (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Capital-Project-Detail-Data-Dollars/wa2y-rh4b) (an NYC Office of Management and Budget dataset) and filter where the Managing Agency is the Department of Parks and Recreation or

However, neither of these datasets go back to 2002. Hope this helps!

Follow-up
Sure thing!

“Data Last Updated” means the date on which the data itself was altered in some way. Examples of this can include:
The removal of one or more records
Changing the values in one or more fields (e.g. fixing a misspelled word)
Adding new records when new data is available
“Metadata Last Updated” means the date on which the metadata was altered in some way. Metadata can be defined as data/information about data. On the Open Data Portal, metadata is found in the “About this Dataset” section on a dataset’s primer page. Examples of altering the metadata can include:
Uploading new versions of data documentation (e.g. data dictionaries and readme files)
Changing any field of “Dataset Information” (e.g. changing the update frequency, changing the category, or switching which Agency a dataset belongs to)
The general “Updated” date changes when either the data or metadata has been updated.

Hi Andrew,

311 Service Request data does not include apartment numbers in order to protect individuals privacy. 311 Service Request data uses proxy numbers for actual Service Request numbers, which seems to be what you are requesting.

I am trying to understand the numbers for post secondary enrollment, 6 months and 18 months.

With the example you provided for University Heights High School, the student population in 2020-2021 was 570 total. There were 131 students in the 12th grade. The postsecondary enrollment percentage is 79%.

For the postsecondary enrollment in 6 months, I assume the 12th grades would have to been enrolled in college by Dec 2021. The n value for postsecondary enrollment, 6 months is 128, which would be over 97% of the 131 students in the 12th grade.

I am not sure what other factors are used to get the enrollment percentage.

Also, the n value for college persistence is exactly the same as the n value for post secondary enrollment 18 months, so I wanted to double check this too.

Is there a reason that the access point for this dataset is so unstable and anyone using it has to update their code very frequently to continue using this data?

Thank you so much.

The issue you are experiencing is a known bug by Socrata, the vendor for the NYC Open Data Platform. Unfortunately there is no immediate solution that would resolve this without breaking the data automation update process, we are actively working with Socrata to address this issue.

Thank you,

Data Question

Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)

Hello! I am trying to get counts of boilers with certain types of primary fuel (e.g. No. 6, No. 4, No. 2, etc.) for each year, and I am a little confused which values I should be looking for in the dataset.
In particular, I am not sure if I should be counting boilers with "CANCELLED" permit statuses. Likewise, I am unsure if I should be excluding request types like "registration inspection" or "work permit" in my counts.
Any insights here or an updated data dictionary would be very helpful! Unless I am missing something, the dictionary on the site appears not to include certain values.

Clean Air Tracking System (CATS) Permits

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/f4rp-2kvy

For Fuel Type – Primary and Secondary Fuel columns (both columns should be used to determine fuel type)
Boilers with “cancelled” should not be counted.
Request Type –
Registration – boilers that are 0.35 to less than 2.8 MMBtu/hr
Registration II and Registration Inspection – boilers that are 2.8 to less than 4.2 MMBtu/hr
Work Permit and Certificate to Operate – boilers that are 4.2 MMBtu/hr and greater
Thank you,

Data Question

New York City Police Department (NYPD)

Greetings. I'm wondering if someone at Opendata or the NYPD can explain the precipitous drop in total crashes since around May 2020. Though reduced traffic during the early days of the pandemic is surely a factor, the total number of crashes has remained at roughly 50% of pre-pandemic levels up to the present. This seems highly unusual. Perhaps there was a change in how crashes were recorded, or some other factor that can explain this anomaly? Thank you for your help.

Motor Vehicle Collisions - Crashes

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/h9gi-nx95

The decrease is due to the fact in April 2020 the new Department policy started where the NYPD no longer respond to property damage only collisions. This led to the ~50% reduction in reports.

Data Question

Department of Investigation (DOI)

If two records have the same court index number, address, unit number, date, and marshal, but different docket numbers, are they the same eviction? What do different docket numbers signify?

Evictions

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/6z8x-wfk4

Thank you for inquiry. Per the Data Dictionary associated with the Evictions dataset, the docket number is assigned by the City Marshal upon case intake. Upon receiving an eviction case, the City Marshal enters the information into their official electronic docket book which automatically assigns a unique docket number for each court-ordered judgment. Each warrant of eviction enforced at a location will have its own unique docket number. For example, if there are multiple tenants at a location there may be multiple court-ordered judgments. Different docket numbers under one court index number are based on how many judgements the court ordered on the case.

Thank you,

Data Question

Agency not assigned yet.

Hello, my name is *****, and I’m a consultant with *****. We are currently working with the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability to help prepare research for their long-term energy plan. As part of this process, we are investigating the potential for wind turbines in the built environment, and I am looking to access data about building heights. Unfortunately, when I try accessing the dataset published online, it appears that all the buildings have a reported height of 0. I’ve tried retrieving the data in several formats but keep coming up against this issue. I wonder if you might be able to advise how to best access building height data. Many thanks for your support.

Thank you for your interest in NYC Open Data! The Building Heights dataset you are using is what we call a "child" dataset - a dataset derived from another dataset on the portal. The "parent" dataset that Building Heights is based off of is Building Footprints, an official dataset posted by the NYC Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications. Please try to use Building Footprints instead and see if you run into the same error. Hope this helps!

Data Question

Department of Buildings (DOB)

Good Morning! In the DOB dataset on permit issuance, there's a column "Bldg Type". I can't find a key that corresponds to the values either with the data set or in further research online. What it says in the columns description also seems to contradict another column "Residential" when I look at the entries. Do you have a key for the "Bldg Type" column? Thank you for your help!
Best Wishes,

Hi,

We are using several datasets on your website/portal, and most work very well. However, the FDNY Violations dataset (avgm-ztsb) is not working at all. Requesting even a single violation results in a timeout request. Is it possible to reach out to someone there to get this looked at?
