NYC Sidewalk Management: All Tree Damage Violations

New York City's Sidewalk Management System tracks properties where all sidewalk defects are attributed to trees or tree roots. The dataset records inspections, violations, and the status of these 'All Tree Defects' (ATD) cases across city tax lots. It includes identifiers for violations, inspections, and re-inspections, along with associated dates and property location details.

Use Cases

• Tracking violation resolution status using ATDDismissed and ATDDismissedOn columns.
• Analyzing inspection timelines using Inspect_date, ATDIssueDate, and ReInspectionId.
• Mapping tree-related sidewalk issues by location using BBLID, HOUSE_NUM, and ONSTNAME.
• Linking specific defects to broader property records using ViolationId and InspectionId.

Strengths

• Cross-platform presence on Socrata and Data.gov signals its importance and official status.
• Managed by the authoritative City of New York organization.
• Includes a detailed set of 13 columns for tracking the lifecycle of tree-related violations.

Limitations

• Key metadata like row count, size, and license are explicitly listed as 'unknown' or 'None' across all sources.
• A conflict exists for the last updated date: Socrata lists 2026-05-29, while Data.gov lists 2026-04-12.
• The Data.gov source lacks column information, indicating incomplete metadata.
