OpenData Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• See where NYC DOT has speed and other cameras...

  I don't believe there is a public facing official GIS (Geographic Information System) layer published for speed and red light cameras. Any sets they have are usually found on NYC Open Data but I don't see anything: https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/. Source: about 1 year ago

• CSE 6242 prep tips

  For the group project, start looking at large data sets now (e.g. https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/). Find something interesting.

• [looking for] [advice] Find apt without broker fees

  Why did I build it? Paying 15% total annual rent is ridiculous... I've never paid a broker fee. I just find a listing I like, research who the landlord/property manager is (using justfix.nyc or https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/) and call them directly to rent without a broker. Most agree, a few don't. I just implemented this logic in software. Source: over 1 year ago

• MYSTERY SOLVED: I found Hilaria's name change petition from February 2010

  NYC has some surprising transparency in many of its public processes (https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us). The most useful database might be the Department of Buildings permits data--everyone making any kind of structural change to an apartment has to file for a permit and even apartments owned by LLCs surface the real names behind them. You can export the whole thing as an excel file or visualize it online. A... Source: over 2 years ago

• NYC Open Data Sets - Socioeconomic Status/Salaries Based off Zipcodes

  Might be a bit of an unorthodox question, but here goes. I'm doing research on education & socioeconomic/demographic status. I'm looking to research the attendance/grades (regents/SAT, etc...) of all city public schools and reference this data to the neighborhood in which the school resides in.
