Larger NYC parks (generally >20 acres) are subdivided into smaller sections that make inspecting these parks feasible and efficient.  These sections are called "zones."   The size and boundaries usually conform to one or more of the following criteria:  Zones should be inspectable in 1-2 hours; zone boundaries should follow the park’s features (paths, tree lines, etc) whenever possible; and/or conform to pre-existing boundaries used to divide the park for maintenance; and/or define a cohesive area within the park (ballfields, wooded areas, etc).  Besides zones, this layer contains a handful of Sitting Areas that are part of larger parks but could not be defined as zones due to their smaller size.

Data collected to fulfill the requirements of the SWTR (Surface Water Treatment Rule) and FAD (Filtration Avoidance Determination). Data is collected via grab sampling, analysis, LIMS data capture and reporting. Each record represents either a four hour turbidity result, a 24 hour average turbidty result, or a daily fecal coliform result from DEL18DT (Delaware Shaft 18 downtake). Data is used to monitor compliance with the requirements above. There are no limitations for the data.

HIV/AIDS data from the HIV Surveillance Annual Report
Data reported to the HIV Epidemiology Program by March 31, 2022. All data shown are for people ages 18 and older. Borough-wide and citywide totals may include cases assigned to a borough with an unknown UHF or assigned to NYC with an unknown borough, respectively.

This dataset provides data on Parking Violations Issued between July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. In New York City, the fiscal year begins on July 1st of one calendar year and ends on June 30th of the following calendar year. Click here to find out more about the NYC Fiscal Year.

Parking Violations Issuance datasets contain violations issued during the respective fiscal year. The Issuance datasets are not updated to reflect violation status, the information only represents the violation(s) at the time they are issued. Since appearing on an issuance dataset, a violation may have been paid, dismissed via a hearing, statutorily expired, or had other changes to its status. To see the current status of outstanding parking violations, please look at the Open Parking & Camera Violations dataset.

You may find all of the Parking Violations Issued since fiscal year 2014 in this dataset collection.

The Mandatory Inclusionary Housing program was adopted in 2016 to encourage the creation of housing for families at a range of incomes in areas planned for housing growth. When actions of the Commission significantly increase residential density, the City Planning Commission and the City Council will apply one or more options to require affordable housing as part of new residential construction.

New York City’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater Management Program is a multiagency effort led by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to reduce pollution in stormwater runoff in the MS4 Area of NYC. This MS4 Map represents the known MS4 outfalls and drainage areas as of August 1, 2020 and provides additional data relevant to the MS4 Permit. The MS4 map only shows areas draining to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. DEP also maintains combined sewer and sanitary sewer systems; these service area delineations are not represented on this map. More information about the MS4 Stormwater Management Program is available at www.nyc.gov/dep/ms4

Tree Canopy (TC) Assessment metrics for New York City. This dataset consists of TC metrics summarized to several different sets of geographic base layers. The metrics presented in this table are based on 2010 high resolution land cover dataset.

The TC Assessment is a top-down approach to analyzing the forest. Its purpose is to integrate high resolution land cover data with other GIS datasets to produce a set of detailed metrics on the forest that allow decision makers to know how much tree canopy currently exists (termed Existing TC) and amount of land where is it biophysically feasible to establish tree canopy on (termed Possible TC).

Existing TC is determined by extracting all features classified as tree canopy from a high resolution land cover dataset. Possible TC is determined by identifying land where canopy could possibly exist. Possible TC in a GIS context is determined by overlaying high resolution land cover with cadastral and planimetric datasets to include building polygons and road polygons.

Possible TC is queried out from this overlay and consists of all land that was not existing canopy, not water, not a building, and not a road. Possible TC is further divided into two subcategories: Possible-impervious and Possible-vegetation. Possible-impervious consists of all impervious land that, through modification, could support tree canopy. Examples of such features are parking lots, driveways (through overhanging coverage) and playgrounds. Possible-vegetation consists of all land that is low-lying vegetation, primarily grass or shrubs, which could conceivably be converted to support tree canopy. Examples of such features include residential lawns and playing fields. TC metrics do not serve to address the issues of where it is socially desirable or financially feasible to plant trees. Rather, the TC metrics serve as the basis for beginning to form answers to these questions.

TC metrics are presented in the attribute table as both absolute area (in map units) and relative area (percentage of land area) per parcel. For example, an Existing TC Area (TC_E_A) value of 13,677 and an Existing TC Percentage (TC_E_P) of 21.8 indicate that for the parcel in question the area of Existing TC is 13,677 (in map units) and 21.8% of that feature is tree canopy. This assessment was completed by the University of Vermont's Spatial Analysis Laboratory with funding from National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council (NUCFAC) and the National Science Fundation (NSF) and in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service's Northern Research Station.

The TC Assessment protocols were developed by the USDA Forest Service's Northern Research Station and the University of Vermont's Spatial Analysis Laboratory in collaboration with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. TC assessments have been conducted for numerous communities throughout the U.S. where the results have been instrumental in helping to establishing TC goals.

This is a breakdown of every collision in NYC by location and injury. This data is collected because the NYC Council passed Local Law #11 in 2011. This data is manually run every month and reviewed by the TrafficStat Unit before being posted on the NYPD website. Each record represents a collision in NYC by city, borough, precinct and cross street. This data can be used by the public to see how dangerous/safe intersections are in NYC. The information is presented in pdf and excel format to allow the casual user to just view the information in the easy to read pdf format or use the excel files to do a more in depth analysis.

This is historical data.

The New York City Community Mental Health Survey (CMHS) was a one-time telephone survey conducted by the DOHMH. The CMHS was conducted in conjunction with the annual 2012 Community health Survey (CHS). The CMHS provides robust data on the mental health of New Yorkers, including neighborhood, borough, and citywide estimates. The data are analyzed and disseminated to influence mental health program decisions, and increase the understanding of the mental health among New Yorkers.

Note: The source database for this dataset has been decommissioned. FDNY is currently engaged in creating a new system, but no new data will be added to this dataset.
