New York City Construction Street Closure Permits

Street Closure data identifies locations in New York City where a street is fully closed for construction activities. The data is provided by the NYC Department of Transportation via the data.cityofnewyork.us platform and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze closure duration patterns using WORK_START_DATE and WORK_END_DATE columns.
• Map closure locations spatially using the_geom coordinates and ONSTREETNAME.
• Associate closures with administrative boundaries via BOROUGH_CODE, Police Precincts, and City Council Districts.
• Identify construction purpose types from the PURPOSE field.
• Track unique permit instances using the UNIQUEID column.

Strengths

• Includes geospatial coordinates (the_geom) for mapping.
• Links closures to multiple administrative boundaries (Police Precincts, City Council Districts, Community Districts).

Limitations

• Sample size and total row count are unknown.
• Closure periods may be partial; WORK_START_DATE and WORK_END_DATE may not reflect actual daily closure times.
• Data freshness is uncertain; last update date is future-dated (2026-03-30), suggesting potential metadata error.
