New York City Capital Project Budgets by Agency and Year

New York City capital commitment plan data details project budgets by type, line, and funding source, with dollar values in thousands. The dataset was updated three times annually during Preliminary, Executive, and Adopted Capital Commitment Plans until January 2024, when updates ceased. It was published by the New York City Office of Management and Budget.

Use Cases

• Analyze budget allocation trends over five fiscal years using columns CITY_YR1_PLAN through CITY_YR5_PLAN.
• Compare city-funded versus non-city-funded project contributions using CITY_PLAN_TOTAL and NONCITY_PLAN_TOTAL.
• Identify managing agencies and boroughs for capital projects via MANAGING_AGCY and BORO columns.
• Examine project delays and scope changes documented in DELAY_DESC and SCOPE_TEXT fields.

Strengths

• Contains detailed multi-year budget plans spanning five fiscal years (YR1_PLAN to YR5_PLAN).
• Includes data from three distinct budget planning stages: Preliminary, Executive, and Adopted.

Limitations

• Updates ceased in January 2024, making the data static and potentially stale for current analysis.
• Dollar values are reported in thousands, requiring conversion for precise monetary analysis.
• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, limiting assessment of dataset completeness.
