This is an official DOHMH dataset. The Health Department does not endorse datasets using these data that may be created by others. The dataset contains the self-inspections of drinking water tanks that have been reported to the DOHMH through the NYC Drinking Water Tank Inspection Reporting Site [https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/business/permits-and-licenses/drinking-water-tank-inspection-reporting.page] by a certified water tank inspector on behalf of the building owner. Submissions of 0 Drinking Water Tanks are not displayed in this dataset.

Dataset contains information on rat inspections.

Rat Information Portal Data Release Notes April 20, 2015

The Rat Information Portal (RIP) is a web-based mapping application where users can view rat inspection data.

Data sources: NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), Division of Environmental Health Pest Control Database

Notes on data limitations: Please note that if a property/taxlot does not appear in the file, that does not indicate an absence of rats - rather just that it has not been inspected. Similarly, neighborhoods with higher numbers properties with active rat signs may not actually have higher rat populations but simply have more inspections.

The Open Restaurants Inspections dataset contains records of site setup inspections performed throughout the five boroughs of New York City.

Annual compliance filings for high and low pressure boilers installed in buildings.

The Department of Buildings’ Boiler Unit oversees the installation and operation of New York City’s boilers. Property owners are responsible for ensuring that their boilers operate safely and are in compliance with the Building Code and all related regulations.

Tracks dismissal inspection requests and results from property owners who repairs their sidewalk privately.

The dataset contains every sustained or not yet adjudicated violation citation from every full or special program inspection conducted up to three years prior to the most recent inspection for restaurants and college cafeterias in an active status on the RECORD DATE (date of the data pull). When an inspection results in more than one violation, values for associated fields are repeated for each additional violation record. Establishments are uniquely identified by their CAMIS (record ID) number. Keep in mind that thousands of restaurants start business and go out of business every year; only restaurants in an active status are included in the dataset.
Records are also included for each restaurant that has applied for a permit but has not yet been inspected and for inspections resulting in no violations. Establishments with inspection date of 1/1/1900 are new establishments that have not yet received an inspection. Restaurants that received no violations are represented by a single row and coded as having no violations using the ACTION field.
Because this dataset is compiled from several large administrative data systems, it contains some illogical values that could be a result of data entry or transfer errors. Data may also be missing.
This dataset and the information on the Health Department’s Restaurant Grading website come from the same data source. The Health Department’s Restaurant Grading website is here:

See the data dictionary file in the Attachments section of the OpenData website for a summary of data fields and allowable values.

Risk Assessments are sub-components of Inspection records where Type = Level 2. Trees are inspected in accordance with Parks' Tree Risk Management program. For a given defect identified on a tree, 3 rating variables are selected to arrive at a Total Rating. Because multiple defects can be noted on a tree, multiple Risk Assessment records can be related to one Inspection.

This dataset includes cooling tower regulatory inspection results from the NYC Health Department’s Office of Building Water Systems Oversight (BWSO).

The dataset includes results from two inspection types: cycle or non-cycle. Cycle inspections are regular compliance inspections conducted by BWSO to confirm adherence with cooling tower regulations. Non-cycle may include follow-up inspections or other regulatory inspections to evaluate public health risks.Cooling tower systems that are compliant at the time of inspection have the inspection date with blank values for the violation and citation columns. Building owners that are subject to financial penalties for a cited violation receive a notice of violation with a summons number, as shown in the dataset. The Office of Administrative Trial and Hearings (OATH) adjudicates the summons.

Hearing status and adjudication result are shown separately in the Cooling Tower Hearings dataset (a subset of the OATH Hearings Division Case Status dataset). The summons number in this dataset corresponds with the ticket number field in the Cooling Towers Hearings dataset.
