NYC Parks Structures

data.cityofnewyork.us | Last Updated 23 May 2024

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. A known limitation to this dataset is that functions other than 'comfort station' and 'recreation center' 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.

This dataset has the following 22 columns:

Column NameAPI Column NameData TypeDescriptionSample Values
Alteration_Yearalteration_yearnumberThe year the building was last altered.
BBLbbltextBorough, block, and lot number for the tax lot that the footprint is physically located within.
BINbinnumberBuilding Identification Number. A number assigned by City Planning and used by Dept. of Buildings to reference information pertaining to an individual building. The first digit is a borough code (1 = Manhattan, 2 = The Bronx, 3 = Brooklyn, 4 = Queens, 5 = Staten Island). The remaining 6 digits are unique for buildings within that borough. In some cases where these 6 digits are all zeros (e.g. 1000000, 2000000, etc.) the BIN is unassigned or unknown.
BOROUGHboroughtextBorough in which the structure is located.
Public Restroompublic_restroomcheckboxWhether the structure has a public restroom
Construction_Yearconstruction_yearnumberThe year construction of the building was completed.Originally this column was populated using the Department of Finance Real Property Assessment Database (RPAD). Beginning in 2017 this will be the first year the completed structure is visible in available orthoimagery. Records where this is zero or NULL mean that this information was not available.
DESCRIPTIONdescriptiontextThe description of the structure so that it can be identified in the field. Typically the building name
DOITT_IDdoitt_idnumberUnique identifier assigned by DOITT.
DOITT_Sourcedoitt_sourcetextAn indicator of whether the DOITT_ID is present in the historic or current DOITT Buildings feature class.
Demolition_Yeardemolition_yearnumberThe year the building has been demolished.
GISPROPNUMgispropnumtextUnique identification number for each park property, identified by borough/county (B = Brooklyn; M = Manhattan; Q = Queens; R = Richmond (Staten Island); X = Bronx), and followed by a number
Ground_Elevationground_elevationnumberLowest Elevation at the building ground level. Calculated from LiDAR or photogrammetrically.
Height_Roofheight_roofnumberBuilding Height is calculated as the difference from the building elevation from the Elevation point feature class and the elevation in the interpolated TIN model. This is the height of the roof above the ground elevation, NOT its height above sea level. Records where this is zero or NULL mean that this information was not available.
LOCATIONlocationtextThe location of the structure; typically the cross streets.
MaintBymaintbytextThe party responsible for the general maintenance of the structure.
MaintBySpecmaintbyspectextThe specific party responsible for general maintenance of the structure. Only filled in if Other is selected in Maint_By
OMPPROPIDomppropidtextUnique identification number for a property or portion of a property. In some cases – a standalone, smaller park for example – this number will be equivalent to the GIS Property Number. In other cases – a zone, playground or other site within a larger park – an additional designation of letters and/or numbers will be added.
Parks_Districtparks_districttextThe Parks maintenance district with which the asset is maintained. Not geographically based.
SYSTEMsystemtextUnique Parks ID of the Structure
multipolygonmultipolygonmultipolygonThe WKB representation of the geometry.
Recreation_Centerrecreation_centercheckboxWhether structure is a Recreation Center
FeatureStatusfeaturestatustextStatus of a structure
