New York City Parks Department Maintenance Work Orders

Over 30 columns detail each maintenance request, including its description, assigned title, request date, and completion date. The data originates from New York City's Asset Management Parks System and was last updated in March 2026. Each row represents a single work order, linkable to specific assets.

Use Cases

• Predict EVT_COMPLETED date based on EVT_TYPE, EVT_STANDWORK, and EVT_DUE using regression models.
• Analyze EVT_FREQ and EVT_REOPENED to identify recurring or problematic assets requiring intervention.
• Cluster EVT_DESC text to categorize common types of maintenance issues across park facilities.
• Model work order backlog by calculating the delta between EVT_DATE and EVT_COMPLETED_TRUNC for different EVT_CLASS categories.

Strengths

• Table contains a primary key (EVT_CODE) for reliable record identification.
• EVT_OBJECT field provides a join key to a separate Assets table for enriched analysis.
• Data includes temporal fields like EVT_DATE, EVT_DUE, and EVT_COMPLETED for time-series analysis.

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown, preventing assessment of statistical power.
• Numerous user-defined fields (e.g., EVT_UDFCHAR02, EVT_UDFCHAR14) lack immediate context without the external data dictionary.
