SweepNYC: NYC Street Sweeper Visit Log

SweepNYC Street Cleaning tracks the last date and time individual street segments were visited by New York City Department of Sanitation mechanical brooms. The dataset connects to a public tool for monitoring street cleaning progress, with each mechanical broom capable of picking up 1,500 lbs. of litter per shift. It uses NYC Street Centerline (CSCL) physical IDs to represent specific street segments.

Use Cases

• Monitoring street cleaning frequency and gaps using Physical ID and Date Visited.
• Analyzing sweeping patterns and route efficiency over time using Date Visited and CSCL Version.
• Validating compliance with street cleaning regulations (SCR) for specific locations using Physical ID.
• Correlating sanitation complaints with last service date using Date Visited and Physical ID.

Strengths

• Connected to an official NYC government tool (SweepNYC) maintained by the Department of Sanitation.
• Provides a concrete operational metric (1,500 lbs. of litter picked up per shift).
• Available on multiple government data platforms, indicating official status and public importance.

Limitations

• Key metadata (row count, size, license, author) is missing or listed as 'unknown' across all sources.
• The 'last updated' dates conflict between platforms (2026-04-03 vs. 2026-04 05), suggesting potential synchronization issues.
• The dataset's temporal coverage and update frequency are not specified.
