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.

Citywide street tree data from the 1995 Street Tree Census, conducted by volunteers organized by NYC Parks & Recreation. Trees were inventoried by address, and were collected from 1995-1996. Data collected includes tree species, diameter, condition.

Trade Waste Hauler Licensees

Companies listed as of the most recent export date have been issued trade waste removal licenses by the Business Integrity Commission and, therefore, are authorized to collect and remove all types of trade waste covered by Local Law 42 of 1996. This data is collected on the entities that apply with the commission to operate as Licensees. Each record represents an entity that is approved to operate in the City of New York by the Commission. The Application Type field denotes the class of application 'License' noting the type of applicant which is a Licensee. They are able to pickup all trade waste from various businesses throughout the city. The BIC Number field is unique to every company that applies to the Commission.

Forestry Tree Points

Record of Forestry tree points 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. This dataset can be joined to the Forestry Planting Spaces dataset by joining PlantingSpaceGlobalID from Forestry Tree Points to GLOBALID from Forestry Planting Spaces.

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.

DSNY Waste Characterization 2017 - Main Sort Results

The Department conducted the 2017 NYC Residential, School, and NYCHA (NYC Housing Authority) Waste Characterization Study over three seasons: spring, summer, and fall. This study builds on decades of research and analysis into the evolving composition of NYC's waste stream. The study team hand sorted samples into 70 main sort categories. Results are presented in absolute terms as the quantity by weight of each material type. The quantity of each material is calculated by applying the percent composition to the total quantity of DSNY collections for fiscal year 2017 (July 2016-June 2017).

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.
