CityBench is an initiative to increase the amount of public seating on New York City’s streets. Department of Transportation (DOT) installs attractive and durable benches around the city, particularly at bus stops, retail corridors, and in areas with high concentrations of senior citizens.

2010 Census Blocks (water areas included) from the US Census for New York City.

This dataset builds on the Walk to A Park Service Area to provide a dataset that can be viewed as an on-line map or downloaded to support the preparation of an Open Space assessment pursuant to City Environment Quality Review Technical Manual. The data has been modified to ensure that if 50% or more of a tax lot is within a Walk to a Park Service area, then the entire lot is shown as served.

New York City, as part of the OneNYC 2050 Building a Strong and Fair City plan, has put forth a goal of 85 percent of New York City residents living within a walking distance of a park by 2030. The Walk to a Park initiative focuses on increasing access to parks and open spaces, concentrating on areas of the city that are under-resourced and where residents are living further than a walk to a park. NYC Parks calculates the number of New Yorkers within walking distance of a park and reports on this as part of the Mayor’s Management Report. “Walking distance” is defined as a 1/4-mile or less for sites such as small playgrounds and sitting areas; or a 1/2-mile or less for larger parks that serve a wider region, typically over 6 acres or with access to recreation center. Certain properties in NYC Parks' portfolio, such as cemeteries, community gardens, or sites with no recreational equipment were not included in this analysis. Similarly, some publicly accessible parks and open-space amenities not under the jurisdiction of NYC Parks were included in this analysis, as they provide recreational value.

This information is periodically updated and is only current as of the last publication date. The analysis is performed in part using secondary data. Data accuracy is limited by the scale and accuracy of the original sources.

Provides information on all items designated or under consideration for designation (i.e. calendared) by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC).
This dataset contains information on all items designated or under consideration for designation (i.e. calendared) by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). The dataset contains records for each individual, scenic, or interior landmark, as well as properties or sites located within the boundaries of historic districts. Please note that points in this dataset represent individual buildings in addition to non-building sites (such as vacant lots or monuments) regulated by LPC. It is possible for a single property to have multiple designations (such as individual and interior designations, or individual and historic district). For this reason, it is not uncommon to see multiple points on a single tax lot and multiple records for a single property within the database. Please pay close attention to the "MOST_CURRENT," "BBL_STATUS and "LAST_ACTION_ON_LP" fields, which together denote the designation status of a site/property (see Attribute Definitions for more information). The geographic locations of the points in this dataset are derived primarily from the Department of City Planning's PLUTO data in combination with the Department of Information Technology & Telecommunication's building footprint information. Because this dataset is not automatically updated when changes occur in the underlying dataset, BIN numbers and tax lot information are potentially out of date. Please pay close attention to the field descriptions present in the file's metadata to understand how to use this data set.

Time values are auto-generated and do not reflect the official time of any LPC action, including designation or calendaring.

The NYC Street Centerline (CSCL) is a road-bed representation of New York City streets containing address ranges and other information such as traffic directions, road types, segment types. Please use this dataset to determine what physicalid maps to the physicalid street segment in the DSNY PlowNYC dataset for the 2016/2017 winter season.

Locations where NYC residents can drop off their food scraps to be composted. Visit https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dsny/site/services/food-scraps-and-yard-waste-page/nyc-food-scrap-drop-off-locations for participating locations.

Drop-off composting is one way residents can put their food and yard waste to good use, instead of being sent to a landfill. This dataset contains information on locations within NYC where you can drop-off your food scraps to make compost, not trash. All food scraps are processed locally at community scale compost sites.

Before visiting a food scrap drop-off site:
• Confirm that they are open and accepting food scraps.
• Review open hours listed.
• See what items are accepted.

Accepted at food scrap drop-off sites:
• Fruits, vegetables, and eggshells
• Coffee, tea, and nuts
• Dried flowers and houseplants
• Bread, grains, pasta

Not accepted at food scrap drop-off sites:
• Meat, fish, and dairy
• Pet waste and kitty litter
• Pressure-treated plywood, lumber, or sawdust
• Clean paper, glossy paper, or cardboard
• Metal, glass, or plastic
• Medical waste, diapers, and personal hygiene products
• BPI-certified compostable plastic products

This map contains the shape of each NDA and borough it is located in.

As the designated Community Action Agency of New York City, DYCD administers the federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program to combat poverty and provide emergency services to low-income people. In order to maximize the impact of the federal CSBG funding, DYCD targets funds to low-income communities, which it designates as Neighborhood Development Areas (NDAs).

The NDA Initiative, through the Neighborhood Advisory Boards (NABs), fosters community-level engagement to ensure that residents have opportunities to contribute to change in their neighborhoods and that services address the most pressing needs of each community.
