New York City records detail moving violation summonses issued by the NYPD. Data originates from officers completing the official New York State form upon issuing a summons. The dataset was last updated in February 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze spatial enforcement patterns by mapping VIOLATION_DATE and VIOLATION_TIME against Latitude, Longitude, and Police Precincts.
- Model VEH_CATEGORY or REG_STATE_CD distributions across different City Council Districts or Community Districts.
- Identify temporal trends in VIOLATION_CODE frequencies by aggregating records over VIOLATION_DATE.
Strengths
- Contains 21 distinct columns including geospatial coordinates (Latitude, Longitude) and jurisdictional boundaries.
- Data is structured with specific violation details like CHG_LAW_CD and REG_PLATE_NUM.
Limitations
- Row count and temporal coverage are unknown, limiting assessment of dataset scale and historical depth.
- Sample data is unavailable, preventing verification of data consistency and value distributions.
