New York City Department of Buildings

Official NYC Open Data dataset and SODA API listing façade compliance filings submitted in DOB NOW: Safety. Records resolve to buildings through BIN, street address, and borough/block/lot and carry filing cycle/type, inspection and filing dates, current/filing/prior status, QEWI and owner details, penalties, comments, and exterior-wall type/material. The programme applies to New York City properties higher than six stories and requires a licensed Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector to perform the critical examination and file the technical report. Consequently, SAFE, SWARMP, and UNSAFE are inspection-derived authority filing classifications, not direct observations made by DOB. The dataset does not provide structured defect location/detail, repair completion, correction status, photos, or a row-level publication vintage.

Official daily-updated NYC Open Data dataset of certificates of occupancy issued through DOB NOW from March 2021 onward. Records resolve by BIN, street address, borough/block/lot and BBL, and publish DOB job filing, certificate application and C of O identifiers, request and issuance dates, issued status, filing type and sequence, dwelling-unit count, and geographic reference fields. This is an issued-certificate index: it does not publish approved use, occupancy group, floor/area schedules, effective or expiration date, document URL, or an explicit current/superseded flag. Absence must not be interpreted as evidence of present use, illegal occupancy, safety, or noncompliance.

Official daily public dataset and SODA API covering the lifecycle of New York City BIS permits, with a building identifier, permit status/type, and publication run date.
