This dataset includes structures within NYC Parks properties. Structures are broadly defined as "an assembly of materials forming construction for occupancy or use."
One line of data is a structure. The dataset contains fields that are maintained by multiple agencies including NYC Parks, NYC DoITT, and NYC Planning. Where possible, updated values are pulled from authoritative sources and updated weekly - for more details about specific fields and where they come from please see
https://github.com/NYCParks-data/Structures/wiki.
The System ID and BIN (Building Identification Number) are both required fields.
The Geosupport table is a related table that has information about addresses for these structures. A separate table was necessary because there is a one-to-many relationship between structures and addresses (i.e., one structure can have more than one address).
A known limitation to this dataset is that functions other than 'comfort station' can and should be attributed to many of the structures. This information will eventually live and be maintained in a related table where all the functions of individual structures can be seen.
