New York City Beach Zones and Sections for Inspection and Maintenance

Beach zones and smaller sections within New York City, used for organizing inspection and maintenance activities. The dataset includes geometric and administrative attributes for these spatial divisions. It is hosted by data.cityofnewyork.us and was last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Map beach maintenance zones using GISPROPNUM and multipolygon for spatial visualization.
• Calculate total area of beach sections using STArea and BOROUGH for resource allocation.
• Analyze the distribution of beach features by status using FEATURESTATUS and NAME.
• Join beach property data with other city datasets using SYSTEM and GISPROPNUM as potential keys.

Strengths

• Data uses a defined spatial projection (NAD_1983_StatePlane_New_York_Long_Island_FIPS_3104_Feet).
• Includes geometric attributes (STLength, STArea) for spatial analysis.
• A data dictionary is provided via an external link for column definitions.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
