Help! There's no COVID wastewater data since 2/27 (25 days ago). This is important because we're all trying to figure out if NYC Omicron numbers are indeed low, or we're experiencing under-testing due to Omicron being milder and many people not seeking medical attention.

thanks!!!!

The top of the page says "Based on NYPD Complaint Data Current (Year To Date)". However, the dates in the COMPLNT_FR_DT and COMPLNT_TO_DT range from 1955 to 2021. When will the year to date data be available?

No URL Submitted.

The 'year to date' complaints are those complaints that are reported in the most recent current year (2021). Your question is based on occurrence date which could have happened at any time in the past. It is also possible that there are data entry issues in the occurrence dates.

In April, after the first quarter numbers are compiled, the 2021 data will be moved to the historic dataset and the new 2022 data will be considered year to date.

Reported Error

Department of Buildings (DOB)

I'm trying to use Socrata to connect to and map the DOB Permit data, but the data uploaded seems to have incorrect geojson. The GeoJSON is located here (limited to 10 rows for testing purposes):

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/ipu4-2q9a.geojson?$limit=10

You can see on each line that the "geometry" feature is listed as null. This causes an error when mapping direct from Socrata. Since the data has latitude and longitude, I think if the geometry were set to "Point" then it'd be mappable automatically.

Is this something that your team could look into?

The permit data is updated frequently, so having it automatically mappable through Socrata would be a huge benefit.

Data Question

Agency not assigned yet.

What does x-coord or y-coord represent? I was trying to render the data on the map, but they were not long/lat geometry data. Also, how can I convert them into long/lat?

No URL Submitted.

Hi Minjung Sim,

Thank you for your inquiry. The X, Y coordinates (State Plane) in the data are created by a Mapping and Analytics Software, ex: ESRI- ArcGIS. A similar or same software is also needed to convert the X,Y coordinates to Lat, Long. The coordinates vary based on the location and the mapping projection of the data. The following X,Y coordinates conversion directions are for ArcGIS- ArcMap using the following projection:

Projected Coordinate System: NAD_1983_StatePlane_New_York_Long_Island_FIPS_3104_Feet
Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic

Steps are also on the official ESRI ArcGIS website: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000008944

1) Export the data on the Open Data Portal into CSV
2) Importing the CSV into ArcGIS- ArcMap
3) Display X,Y data from the CSV
4) A new temporary file will be created to display the X,Y
6) Export the temporary file data into shapefile
7) Open the attribute table for the newly saved shapefile
8) Add two new columns (Add Field).
9) Use the Calculate Geometry function in the attributes table to convert X,Y to Lat, Long.
- Use Coordinates System: NAD 1983 StatePlane New York Long Island FIPS 3104 Feet
- Units: Decimal Degrees

Data Question

Department of City Planning (DCP)

How can I add other data to these spatial files: population per polygon, number of homeless shelters. Is there a CSV file somewhere where I can add custom columns to later export into Tableau or other visualization software?

Community Districts

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/yfnk-k7r4

You should be able to join any dataset that has a community district field to this shapefile to map that data. If you have a table of homeless shelters, with a column for community districts, they could be joined together if the community district fields in both datasets are in the same format/schema.

Make sure the table you are joining to the shapefile has a community district field and the value contains the borough code and community district number together (i.e. Brooklyn Community district 2 = 302, Queens Community district 14 = 414). Borough codes are the following:

1-Manhattan
2-The Bronx
3-Brooklyn
4-Queens
5-Staten Island

Data Question

New York City Police Department (NYPD)

I am trying to extract gun-related arrests from the NYPD arrests data but I can't figure out how to do it. There is a 'DANGEROUS WEAPONS' entry in OFNS_DESC field that gives me all weapons related arrests but I was hoping you could guide me on extracting gun-related arrests out of these.

I think the LAW_CODE field might help with that but after spending many hours on this I haven't been able to hack it yet. There are no instructions in the data dictionary on that as well.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could guide me on this or direct me to someone who could help me.

NYPD Arrest Data (Year to Date)

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/uip8-fykc

Thank you for contacting the NYC Open Data help desk. Unfortunately, it is not possible to glean the information you are requesting from the arrest dataset. As you indicated, the LAW_CODE is included in the dataset which is the New York State Penal Law section that was violated. Unfortunately, the charge in question, Criminal Possession of a Weapon (PL 265), includes all weapons, not just firearms.

Data Question

Department of Finance (DOF)

Hello,

I am requesting support in understanding the data dictionary for this data set looking at property tax exemptions for the city of New York. I am trying to determine property tax exemptions for hospitals in the 2020-2021 fiscal year. The definition for "CUREXMPTOT" is that it is the most current value of the property including Remissions as of the File creation date for the prior year data. I am unsure how to interpret "inclusion of Remission". Does this mean it includes the tax exemption in addition to the value of the property? There is not a definition for remission as part of the data and am trying to determine which total to use.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated,

*****

Property Exemption Detail

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/muvi-b6kx

A remission is a change to the assessed and/or exempt value after the roll is published based on a Tax Commission or Court decision. When a remission exists the CUR values represent the revised assessment/exemption.
Many hospitals are fully exempt so if the assessed value is reduced the exemption is reduced accordingly.

Hope this answers your question.

Thank you,

Data Question

New York City Police Department (NYPD)

What constitutes a complaint? Does this dataset overlap with the NYPD Arrest or NYPD Calls for Service datasets?

Thanks for your help!

NYPD Complaint Data Current (Year To Date)

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/5uac-w243

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the NYPD Complaint dataset. Complaints are reported incidents of crime, either by a resident, or by an officer. There is no direct linkage between a call for service, a complaint and/or an arrest. For example, there could be a call for a crime in progress but upon arrival, it was determined that no crime occurred and no complaint filed. Or there could be a complaint report filed, but no arrest was made in regards. In addition, all three of these datasets reside in separate systems and are not relatable.

Data Question

Department of City Planning (DCP)

I would like to know the origin of sea level rise data. Where could I find the metadata that was used to create these layers? I would also like to know the attributes of these layers.

Projected Sea Level Rise

That data was created and released by the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC). The Department of City Planning (DCP) published the data on NPCC's behalf.

You can read more about the NPCC 2015 Report here: https://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/nyas.12593.
The metadata is embedded in the GIS data and available here: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/data-maps/open-data/slr_metadata.pdf?r=1.

This GIS dataset is provided to enable users to assess future coastal flood risk. In particular, the data show areas of New York City that are potentially vulnerable to future flooding at high tide due to sea level rise under a range of model-based scenarios for the 2020s, 2050s, 2080s, and 2100.

This geodatabase includes layers showing the projected extent of future mean higher high water (MHHW) with sea level rise. Extents are based on local sea level rise projections released by the New York City Panel on Climate Change in 2015. The data include the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile projections for the 2020s, 2050s, 2080s, and 2100. The data illustrate the scale of potential flooding, not the exact location, and do not account for erosion, rapid subsidence, or future construction. Feature classes are contained to NYC municipal boundaries and are not reliable for areas outside of NYC.

Hey DCP Open Data Team!
The BOE should be releasing the new shapefiles to DCP with new EDs later this week. Do you have a timeline for updating these on your site once this happens? I'm hoping to update my site ccsunlight.org with new maps this weekend so people can petition. Thanks!

Hey DCP Open Data Team!
In response to your to question (I can't seem to follow up otherwise)... I called the DCP office at 212-720-3300 and the person I spoke to there said something along the lines of BYTES of the Big Apple was doing that anymore. He wasn't very specific. I tried to call BYTES directly at 212-720-3505 which is the number I found at this page but it was not working.

BYTES of BIG APPLE, both the open data site on the Department of City Planning (DCP) website (https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/data-maps/open-data.page) and the data products are here to stay and are not going away. We are curious to know where you heard that they would no longer be operating from, please share with us?

The election districts in the latest 22A version do not contain the new Board of Election (BOE) updates. The LION and District files are updated quarterly so this release only contains normal updates to streets, addresses and other attributes. The BOE election updates will be released soon as a mid-cycle release on or around March 1, 2022.

Thank you,

How can I get records that are updated daily rather than just monthly? It appears that popular websites like zillow and property shark are obtaining deed transfers before they appear on the acris public interface.

Good Afternoon,

I had asked our sales executive, *****, to reach out to you as it's possible you may have been trying to email us using old contact information, since I see that there are some old contacts listed in this dataset. I'm not sure if she did this but in any case, I would be grateful if you could please update your records as follows:

***** at ***** replaces ***** at ***** as the editor of the paper.

In addition, the marketing / sales contact is now ***** at *****.

If you could also use ***** for ad inquiries, that would be very helpful as we are going through some internal changes at the moment and this will help with continuity.

Many thanks for your help.

Data Question

Agency not assigned yet.

Hi there,
I was wondering what term would be used in the 311 call data to classify calls related to mental health crisis or mental health needs. I saw this article (https://www.nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny-nyc-mental-health-covid-20210516-zugqg7vmjbctbookukawwccrle-story.html) reference 311 calls data on this, but can't seem to figure out the right search word to get the data. Please call me at ***** or email me at *****. Thank you!

No URL Submitted.

Calls to 311 are reflected in the 311 Call Center Inquiry dataset (vs. the Service Request dataset). You can search on “Inquiry Name” and look for “contains” Mental Health”. Keep in mind this doesn’t contain 911 calls related to mental health. This dataset is huge so you’ll want to filter by date.

Thank you,

Data Question

Agency not assigned yet.

I am reaching out to ask a couple questions about a project that is in the works here in NYC.

We (***** - a marketing agency) are working with The Economist to create an event during the week leading up to Earth Day in April this year, highlighting the ‘new potential coastline’ in Manhattan come 2100, combining data from the Imperial College London and other sources, primarily Government Depts of NYC.

We have been referencing your map that shows where the water is projected to be and we were hoping to seek some guidance on how to appropriately use the data collected.

We would like to ensure that all information is accurate, is coming from a trusted source such as NYC Open Data and that our sources are happy for us to quote them and said data, in any associated press surrounding the event, plus in content or web pages produced.

That said, is this the right department to be talking with? If, not would you mind directing me to the appropriate one.

If indeed I am in the right place, please let us know if you need more information or have any questions from your end. We’d be very happy to jump on a call to discuss this.

I look forward to your response and guidance!

Data Question

Agency not assigned yet.

Can the data specify if the permitted LinkNYC kiosk is of the original design or the new 2021 design. If so, can the dataset also specify if it is a 5G enabled site and which cellular carriers have installed equipment?

No URL Submitted.

Yes, DoITT will update the Approved Link NYC Kiosk Locations data set to indicate which kiosks are the new 2021 design. Presently, no new kiosks have been installed and thus there is no data to publish in this fashion. When that changes, we will update the data set. Regarding the specific carrier, this information is not regularly created or maintained by or on behalf of DoITT and thus does not constitute a Public Data Set. If we receive this information in the future, we will review it for possible inclusion in the appropriate Link NYC Kiosk data set.

Would it be possible to also include which phone provider the permitted application is on behalf? For example, when Crown Castle submits an application they would also specify which cell carrier, ie Verizon, they permit is supporting.

No URL Submitted.

No, as of now, the requested information is not regularly created or maintained by or on behalf of DoITT and thus does not constitute a Public Data Set. We anticipate receiving this information in the future, and will review it for possible inclusion in the Mobile Telecommunications Franchise Pole Reservation Locations data set at that time.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The legend for the BasketType column is as follows:

BasketType = Physical type of basket. C = Solar-powered Compactor, E = Seasonal Wire basket, H = High-end basket, R = PSR (Public Space Receptacle), S = Wire basket.
We have updated the "Columns in this Dataset" section on this dataset's primer page and data dictionary to reflect this information, as well.

I am trying to find out the total number of harassment complaints against Asian/Pacific Islanders ages 65+ in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to date in 2022. But when I try to add these parameters to the NYPD Complaint Data dashboard, the results do not look accurate. My deadline is tomorrow, Tuesday 2/15. Please let me know if someone is available to walk me through this, thanks.

NYPD Complaint Data Current (Year To Date)

https://data.cityofnewyork.us/d/5uac-w243

Hi.
You would need to create a filter based on several fields... PD_DESC, VIC_AGE_GROUP and VIC_RACE.

You would need to do this on two datasets, the year to date dataset and the historic dataset. As for 2022, that data has not been released yet.
Also, keep in mind, that while you are filtering on race and age, which are protected groups, the complaints you identify may, or may not be, 'hate crimes'. That is special designation that results after an investigation. Hate crimes data are published separately, but can be viewed in the following dashboard.
