City Planning Facilities Database
I. Overview
The City Planning Facilities Database aggregates more than 35,000 records from 45 different public data sources provided by City, State, and Federal agencies. While each source agency classi es its facilities according to their own naming systems, we have grouped all facilities and program sites into the following seven categories to help planners navigate the data more easily:
Health and Human Services Education, Child Welfare, and Youth Parks, Gardens, and Historical Sites Libraries and Cultural Programs Public Safety, Emergency Services, and Administration of Justice Core Infrastructure and Transportation Administration of Government
Within each of these domains, each record is further categorized into a set of facility groups, subgroups, and types that are intended to make the data easy to navigate and more useful for speci c planning purposes. Facility types and names appear as they do in source datasets, wherever possible. A full listing of the facility categories is provided in the Contents and Classi cation Hierarchy section.
This database and its interactive map build upon City Planning's decades-old work on the Selected Facilities and Program Sites Database, which this new product replaces. Improvements include more facility types, improved data quality, and a restructured database for easier use. We have also automated our means of refreshing the data from the majority of sources ? we anticipate that the data will be refreshed on at least a quarterly basis (although source datasets may be refreshed less frequently). Please read more about the limitations of this data product below.
More facilities will be added as the data become available to the Department of City Planning. Special thanks goes to all the agencies who make their data available for this effort, particularly those who publish their data on a routine basis.
We are constantly looking for ways to improve and add additional value to the database. Please reach out to the NYC DCP Capital Planning team at Capital@planning..

II. Contents and Classi?cation Hierarchy
In order of increasing granularity, each record that is included in the database is classi ed by DCP into a Domain > Facility Group > Facility Subgroup > Facility Type. There are around 450 facility types. In general, the nal Facility Type categories in FacDB are formatted versions of the original, most granular classi cation provided by the agency, but there are also cases where the source description was too speci c and records were grouped together into broader type categories using keywords in the description. The tables below describe each of the Subgroups in each of the seven Domains; however, the Facility Types within them are not listed.

III. Limitations and Disclaimers
The City Planning Facilities Database (FacDB) is only as good as the source data it aggregates, and the Department of City Planning cannot verify the accuracy of all records. Please read more about speci c data and analysis limitations before using this data.
Analysis Limitations. As a result of these data limitations and inconsistencies listed below, users should be careful in their use of this database not to develop analyses that may be suspect. For example, a comparison of the density or accessibility of facilities across neighborhoods should recognize that some of the facilities included are organizational headquarters rather than service sites, and that this database is not authoritatively comprehensive. In addition, we rely on source data from other agencies to populate the database, and some of these sources may fall out-of-date. Users can nd the date of each source dataset's latest update in the Source Data section.
Missing Records. Currently, FacDB is the most comprehensive, spatial data resource available of facilities run by public and non-public entities in NYC, but it does not claim to capture every facility within the speci ed domains. Some facilities are deliberately excluded in the data that source agencies provide in order to protect the safety and privacy of their clients. Many records also could not be geocoded. To learn more about how the data is processed, please review the Methodology.
Duplicates. Please be aware that this beta version of the database includes cases of duplicate records for the same facility. This is because several of the source datasets have content that overlaps with other datasets. We are working to systematically identify these remaining duplicate records and retain all useful attributes from each record.
