Forestry Planting Spaces

Record of Forestry planting spaces for NYC Parks & Recreation. Tree Points and Planting Spaces form the basis of ForMS 2.0’s data inventory and are the core entities that all Service Requests, Inspections, and Work Orders are associated to. The system has built-in rules to ensure that every Tree Point has a Planting Space and each Planting Space can have no more than one active Tree Point at a given time. Locations that have had one tree removed and another tree replanted will appear in ForMS 2.0 as a single Planting Space associated with one retired Tree Point (that has a removal Work Order) and one active Tree Point.

DSNY Planned Commercial Waste Zones

Following significant planning, analysis, and contract development, the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) is in the process of a monumental overhaul of the City's commercial waste industry mandated under Local Law 199 of 2019. While the Department of Sanitation collects trash, recycling, and compostable material from residents, businesses are required to hire private carters to collect their waste. On January 30, 2024, DSNY announced new no-cost contracts with carters directly to reach the goals set out in the law. These selected carters are then authorized to operate in a given "Commercial Waste Zone" within the five boroughs and under the rules and requirements set forth by DSNY.

Forestry Inspections

Record of Forestry inspections for NYC Parks & Recreation. Inspections are initiated by a service request or internal process and may result in a work order. Inspections are used to record field observations. ForMS 2.0 requires that Inspections can only be created from either a Tree Point or Planting Space based on the asset in question. Inspection types vary depending on the inspector’s workflow: • level 1 (limited visual) • level 2 (basic) • level 3 (advanced) • Re-inspection • Sidewalk Rating (Trees and Sidewalks Inspections) • General – Planting Space (Street Tree Planting Inspections) This dataset can be joined to the Forestry Tree Points dataset by joining TreePointGlobalID from Forestry Inspections to GLOBALID from Forestry Tree Points.
