Hello,
I downloaded the datasets regarding air pollution but am having a hard time loading them. Is there a specific library that is being used? I'm working in the data science field and have lots of experience with Python but have never used the .adf file format before or work with geospatial data.
Thank you!

Good Morning,

The data files are in raster format and can be opened in QGIS, R (using the package "Raster"), or other GIS products - based on a quick Google search, it looks like GDAL would be a python library used for raster processing.

Thank you,

Hi!
I would like to know what is the difference between "DOB Job Application Filings" data set (lets call it dataset#1) and "DOB NOW: Build – Job Application Filings " data set(lets call it dataset#2).

I read that dataset1 does not include jobs in dataset2. Does this mean that I have to combine two datasets together in order to have an access to all job application data ?

Secondly, is the reason why there is two dataset, because the job filing types are different between the two dataset ?

I would like to filter dataset#2 per 'job type' and 'pre filing date' but I am not able to do it. Can you help me out ?

Lastly, -to sum up- I would like to access all the new building job filings - which I am able to find all in dataset#1 but I am not able to find the same in dataset#2 because of the filtering issue I described above. Can you help me out on this one as well ?

Looking forwards to your response.
Thanks,
Oz

Assigned Agencys Response
The job applications data set comes from the Dept. of Buildings' BIS system, whereas the DOB NOW data set comes from their DOB NOW system. The agency is migrating toward DOB NOW. So, yes, the data is separate from the two systems and you will not currently find NB or A1 filings in the DOB NOW data.

Disregarding obvious data entry errors, historic data is from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2019. Current year to date includes data from January 1, 2020 to current date. It should be noted that the data includes the actual date the crime was reported which may differ from the date the crime occurred (i.e., sexual assaults, burglaries, etc.)

I am trying to use the Yellow Taxi Trip Data of various years along with the linked dataset regarding Taxi Zones, but there seems to be zones that go beyond the 262 (upwards of 265) in some of the trip data. Is there a particular reason for why those few Taxi Zones are missing from the Taxi Zones dataset?
Dataset Url
No URL Submitted.
Assigned Agencys Response
Thanks for reaching out about the Taxi and Limousine Commission's Open Data. We appreciate you pointing out this issue-- because we publish taxi zones in shapefile format on NYC Open Data, only zones that can be mapped appear in the download. Zones 264 and 265 are codes used by the TLC to indicate that the trip was not mapped to an NYC neighborhood-- 264 indicates that the coordinates for the trip were corrupted or otherwise invalid, and 265 indicates that the coordinates were valid but not within the 5 boroughs (could be Connecticut, New Jersey [not Newark airport], Boston, etc). Zone 263 is Yorkville West and should have appeared in the list you downloaded, but because it is converted from a shapefile to a CSV it appears some values are lost. I will work with NYC Open Data to fix this.

For the complete taxi zone lookup, please visit the TLC website's trip record page:
https://www1.nyc.gov/site/tlc/about/tlc-trip-record-data.page

Hi
I would like to talk to someone familiar with the NYC planimetrics datasets.
I have downloaded several of them (2000, 2004, 2016) and inspected the data with ogrinfo -- according to the page @ https://github.com/CityOfNewYork/nyc-planimetrics/blob/master/Capture_Rules.md the datasets should include various artibutes. I am primarily interested in building footprints, but I was unable to find attributes such as NUM_FLOORS, CONSTURCTION_YEAR, etc.
Any help working with these datasets would be much appreciated.
Dataset Url
No URL Submitted.
Assigned Agencys Response
That listing of building footprint attributes from the 2016 capture rules is no longer reflective of the current building footprints schema.

Please note that NUM_FLOORS, DOB_JOB_NUM and BUILT_CODE are not attributes that are affected by planimetric update. Rather, they were added from other city data sources (PLUTO) and are no longer part of the building footprints data. The only one of them that DoITT retains on our building footprints data is CONSTRUCTION_YEAR.

We do not make corrections or changes to the planimetric data available on Opendata. It is offered as-is and reflects the state of the dataset at the time of the planimetric update. For example, the 2016 planimetric data is from 2014 aerial imagery.

Currently maintained building footprints are available here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Housing-Development/Building-Footprints/nqwf-w8eh

All planimetric features are scheduled for a photogrammetric update this later year using Spring 2020 aerial imagery.

This question is for Deparmtnet of Building Permits Issued Data Set

Unfortunately, this year, when I try to download data using same filter, it does not work because expiration date field has changed to text field instead of date field. There are over 3.6 million records. I noticed that all fields are changed to text data type.

Please see if you can reupload this data with correct data type for each field this way we can use the filter tool productively.

Hi, first, thank you for your support. We have 2 questions:
1. In the biannual pedestrian traffic report you list the month that the measurement was taken, but not the specific day. Could you clarify what exact date you did the last few measurements ?
2. The last report ends in May 2019 and it only has partial information. A have you stopped doing the count or is there more recent data expected to be released ?
Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for your inquiry on the Bi-Annual Pedestrian Counts data set. The pedestrian counts were conducted by a contracted vendor on behalf of NYC Department of Transportation (DOT). May 2019 was a transition period between vendors from manual counts to automated counts. As the vendor contact was ending at that time, only selected locations were counted at a high level for the mandatory Mayors Management Report. Unfortunately the vendor is no longer under NYC contract and DOT does not have the dates, we apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you,
- NYC DOT Open Data Team

I have been looking at a few datasets and noticed that these few state that they are updated monthly but the data is definitely changing more frequently than that.

Besides for the dataset url saying the last time its been updated was June 8th, the latest Good Through Date shows May 31.

Also, I have seen documents that are processed after May 31 (so they would not be showing in these datasets) and curious to know hot to get access to that data if it wont be available here until the following month?

Thank you!

The ACRIS data in Open Data is updated each month (as noted this update is typically on the 8th of each month), but each update contains documents either recorded or corrected in the previous month. Because the data covers through the end of the month, the data in each monthly update is identified by a Good Through Date corresponding to the last date in that month. For access to documents recorded since the last Open Data update, visit ACRIS Document Search at https://a836-acris.nyc.gov/DS.

To find all data in the Real Property Master dataset pertaining to a specific BBL, first find all documents pertaining to that BBL in the Real Property Legals dataset. Once identified use the Document ID and Good Through Date values from the identified “legals” records to find the corresponding records in the Real Property Master dataset.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I got this dataset on Open Data NYC
website https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Health/COVID-19-Daily-Counts-of-Cases-Hospitalizations-an/rc75-m7u3 . I need to calculate the Hospitalized Count Rate and Death Count Rate based on the information provided in this dataset. To calculate the Hospitalized Count Rate and Death Count Rate, I need to know the population.

This site doesn't give any information regarding if this data has been collected in a specific region/borough in New York city or whole New York City so I can calculate those rates based on the population of New York city or the population of this borough in NYC?

Looking forward to your response
