New York City Park Structures Inventory

Over 20 columns detail structures within NYC Parks properties, including Building Identification Number (BIN) and System ID. The dataset is maintained by multiple city agencies including NYC Parks, DoITT, and Planning, with weekly updates from authoritative sources. It catalogs construction, alteration, and demolition years for facilities like public restrooms and recreation centers.

Use Cases

• Predicting a structure's primary function (e.g., Public Restroom, Recreation_Center) based on its BOROUGH, Parks_District, and Construction_Year.
• Analyzing infrastructure age and maintenance cycles using Construction_Year, Alteration_Year, and Demolition_Year columns.
• Mapping park assets for spatial analysis by joining on the BBL (Borough-Block-Lot) or using the geospatial multipolygon field.
• Identifying the responsible agency for structure upkeep by analyzing the MaintBy and MaintBySpec fields.

Strengths

• Includes over 20 specific data columns such as BIN, BBL, and Ground_Elevation for detailed analysis.
• Data is updated weekly from authoritative city agency sources, ensuring regular refresh.

Limitations

• Function attribution is limited; only 'public restroom' and 'recreation center' are reliably tagged, with other functions pending a related table.
• Sample size and total row count are unknown, making it difficult to assess dataset scale.
