City Owned and Leased Properties (COLP) is published by the Department of City Planning (DCP) as required by chapter 204 of the City Charter. It includes the location and current use of all City-owned and leased properties. COLP is produced from an extract of the Integrated Property Information System (IPIS), a real estate database maintained by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS). Except where indicated, the data provided is from IPIS.

Questions or feedback on errors within the City Owned and Leased Properties can be directed to DCAS Land Use Planning at (212) 386-0622 or RESPlanning311@dcas.nyc.gov.

This is a companion dataset to PLUTO and MapPLUTO. PLUTO and MapPLUTO are created using the best available data from a number of city agencies. To further improve data quality, the Department of City Planning (DCP) applies changes to selected field values. DCPEdited is set to "1" in PLUTO if the record contains any changed values.

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.

2020 Census Blocks from the US Census for New York City. These boundary files are derived from the US Census Bureau's TIGER data products and have been geographically modified to fit the New York City base map. All previously released versions of this data are available at BYTES of the BIG APPLE- Archive.

2020 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (NTAs) are medium-sized statistical geographies for reporting Decennial Census and American Community Survey (ACS). 2020 NTAs are created by aggregating 2020 census tracts and nest within Community District Tabulation Areas (CDTA). NTAs were delineated with the need for both geographic specificity and statistical reliability in mind. Consequently, each NTA contains enough population to mitigate sampling error associated with the ACS yet offers a unit of analysis that is smaller than a Community District.

Though NTA boundaries and their associated names roughly correspond with many neighborhoods commonly recognized by New Yorkers, NTAs are not intended to definitively represent neighborhoods, nor are they intended to be exhaustive of all possible names and understandings of neighborhoods throughout New York City. Additionally, non-residential areas including large parks, airports, cemeteries, and other special areas are represented separately within this dataset and are assigned codes according to their type (See NTAType field). All previously released versions of this data are available at BYTES of the BIG APPLE- Archive.

The Building Elevation and Subgrade data contains New York City building centroids derived from the Department of Building's (DOB) February 26th, 2022 building footprint dataset. Each record contains a grade and first floor measurement for each building (recorded as feet above sea-level in the NADV88 vertical datum) and indicates if subgrade space exists. DCP contracted with an external data vendor to generate a single point, or centroid, that represented the location of the center of every building recorded in the DOB dataset. The dataset excluded the footprints of small accessory buildings such as sheds. Each row within the dataset represents one building centroid, and records the X and Y coordinates of that centroid in the NAD 1983 coordinate system.

This file shows the relationship between New York City’s 2020 census tracts, 2020 Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (NTAs), and Community District Tabulation Areas (CDTAs). 2020 census tracts nest within 2020 NTAs, and 2020 NTAs nest within CDTAs, so each census tract is listed only once. Note that CDTAs sometimes cross borough boundaries, and therefore will not add up to borough totals for the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan. As they are nested within CDTAs, NTAs will likewise not add up to borough totals. Also note that census tracts in New York City’s water areas are excluded from this file.

The Department of City Planning aggregates information about 30,000+ facilities and program sites that are owned, operated, funded, licensed, or certified by a City, State, or Federal agency in the City of New York into a central database called the City Planning Facilities Database (FacDB). These facilities generally help to shape quality of life in the city’s neighborhoods, and this dataset is the basis for a series of planning activities. This public data resource allows all New Yorkers to understand the breadth of government resources in their neighborhoods. The data is also complemented with a new interactive web map that enables users to easily filter the data for their needs. Users are strongly encouraged to read the database documentation, particularly with regard to analytical limitations.

Questions about this database can be directed to dcpopendata@planning.nyc.gov

The Department of City Planning (DCP) processes land use applications submitted by City or other public agencies and other (private) applicants. This data set provides information on land use applications, specifically the project tracking and description data related to approximately 30,000 projects since the late 1970s.

ZAP project data appears on NYC Planning - Zoning Application Portal Search. It includes data migrated from the prior applications tracking system (LUCATS) and covers all projects that have been "Noticed" (that they will appear before the City Planning Commission in 30 or more days for Certification as complete for the ULURP process to begin) or Filed (a CEQR or Land Use application has been formally submitted to the Department for review) through completion (approval, disapproval, withdrawal, or termination). For more information on the land use and environmental review application process see: Application Process Overview
