Parks Concession Transactions

NYC Parks uses a Commercial Off-The-Shelf database for maintaining its concession-related data.  In its raw form, the Parks data within the Yardi Voyager database has a convoluted structure, the majority of which is not being used by Parks to store any data. In an effort to make the data more user friendly, the multitude of tables used by the source database have been distilled into two that contain the essential information for a concessions database. One table (Parks Concessions) represents the concession asset – the place and thing which is being operated – and who holds the contract.  The other (Parks Concession Transactions) represents transactions between those contract holders and NYC Parks.  Parks Concessions is here https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Parks-Concessions/53m8-jdtg and can be joined to Parks Concession Transactions using  PersonID, PropertyID and UnitID.

VZV Vision Zero View Data

Data that that populates the Vision Zero View map, which can be found at www.nycvzv.info Vision Zero is the City's goal for ending traffic deaths and injuries. The Vision Zero action plan can be found at http://www.nyc.gov/html/visionzero/pdf/nyc-vision-zero-action-plan.pdf Crash data is obtained from the Traffic Accident Management System (TAMS), which is maintained by the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Only crashes with valid geographic information are mapped. All midblock crashes are mapped to the nearest intersection. Injuries and fatalities are grouped by intersection and summarized by month and year. This data is queried and aggregated on a monthly basis and is current as of the query date. Current year data is January to the end of the latest full month. All mappable crash data is represented on the simplified NYC street model. Crashes occurring at complex intersections with multiple roadways are mapped onto a single point. Injury and fatality crashes occurring on highways are excluded from this data. Please note that this data is preliminary and may contain errors, accordingly, the data on this site is for informational purposes only. Although all attempts to provide the most accurate information are made, errors may be present and any person who relies upon this data does so at their own risk.

Entitation

Entitation is a process of identifying and describing discrete vegetation units (entities). Essentially, it is a general inventory of an area's plant communities conducted by means of aerial photograph interpretation and field reconnaissance. The survey results in the identification of ecologically distinct plant communities based on species and structure.

The main dataset containing data describing each distinct vegetation community.

Mayor’s Office of Operations: Demographic Survey

Pursuant to Local Laws 126, 127, and 128 of 2016, certain demographic data is collected voluntarily and anonymously by persons voluntarily seeking social services.  This data can be used by agencies and the public to better understand the demographic makeup of client populations and to better understand and serve residents of all backgrounds and identities.

The data presented here has been collected through either electronic form or paper surveys offered at the point of application for services. These surveys are anonymous.

Each record represents an anonymized demographic profile of an individual applicant for social services, disaggregated by response option, agency, and program. Response options include information regarding ancestry, race, primary and secondary languages, English proficiency, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Idiosyncrasies or Limitations: 
Note that while the dataset contains the total number of individuals who have identified their ancestry or languages spoke, because such data is collected anonymously, there may be instances of a single individual completing multiple voluntary surveys. Additionally, the survey being both voluntary and anonymous has advantages as well as disadvantages: it increases the likelihood of full and honest answers, but since it is not connected to the individual case, it does not directly inform delivery of services to the applicant. The paper and online versions of the survey ask the same questions but free-form text is handled differently. Free-form text fields are expected to be entered in English although the form is available in several languages. Surveys are presented in 11 languages.  
  Paper Surveys
   1. Are optional
   2. Survey taker is expected to specify agency that provides service
   2. Survey taker can skip or elect not to answer questions
   3. Invalid/unreadable data may be entered for survey date or date may be skipped
   4. OCRing of free-form tet fields may fail.
   5. Analytical value of free-form text answers is unclear
  Online Survey
   1. Are optional
   2. Agency is defaulted based on the URL
   3. Some questions must be answered
   4. Date of survey is automated

In order to appropriately manage City parks and allocate resources, NYC Parks has implemented three tiers of management [below the Borough level]. These three tiers can be represented as administrative geographic boundaries and are defined below: 

District - One or more parks that are combined and generally align with New York City Community Boards. 

Sector - One or more Park Districts that are combined in order share resources for daily maintenance. 

Region - One or more Park Sectors that are combined and assigned a regional managers who provides high-level, strategic planning and support for Parks managers, including maximizing resources between Districts and Sectors.

Housing Database by 2024 City Council

Net change in housing units arising from new buildings, demolitions, or alterations for NYC City Council Districts since 2010. The NYC Department of City Planning's (DCP) <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/data-maps/open-data/dwn-housing-database.page#housingdevelopmentproject">Housing Database</a> provide the 2010 census count of housing units, the net change in Class A housing units since the census, and the count of units pending completion for commonly used political and statistical boundaries. These tables are aggregated from the DCP Housing Database, which is derived from Department of Buildings (DOB)-approved housing construction and demolition jobs filed or completed in NYC since January 1, 2010. Net housing unit change is calculated as the sum of all three construction job types that add or remove residential units: new buildings, major alterations, and demolitions, and can be used to determine the change in legal housing units across time and space.

Greenstreets

Launched in 1996, the Greenstreets program began as a partnership between the NYC Parks and the New York City Department of Transportation (DOT). The program was created to change unused road areas into green spaces that beautify neighborhoods, improve air quality, reduce air temperatures, and calm traffic. Greenstreets later became a component of the City's "green infrastructure," with some containing bioswales or rain gardens to divert and/or filter stormwater. For more information about the Greenstreets program and green infrastructure, visit https://www.nycgovparks.org/greening/green-infrastructure.

The New York City Department of Investigation’s Policy and Procedure Recommendations (PPR) Portal provides the public with a greater understanding of the recommendations DOI issues to City agencies and entities. PPRs are formal written recommendations to City agencies that correct policy, procedural and operational vulnerabilities identified through DOI investigations.  These PPRs are part of DOI’s distinct approach to attacking corruption: through prevention, education, arrests, public reports, and reforms that tighten internal controls and prevent fraud and corruption from re-occurring. PPRs help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of City government, defend the City from fraudulent activity, and protect City workers and the public from conditions that could affect health and safety. This dataset pulls the most recent information from DOIs PPR portal, available on their website.
