Housing Database
The NYC Department of City Planning’s (DCP) Housing Database contains all NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) approved housing construction and demolition jobs filed or completed in NYC since January 1, 2010. It includes the three primary construction job types that add or remove residential units: new buildings, major alterations, and demolitions, and can be used to determine the change in legal housing units across time and space. Records in the Housing Database Project-Level Files are geocoded to the greatest level of precision possible, subject to numerous quality assurance and control checks, recoded for usability, and joined to other housing data sources relevant to city planners and analysts. Data are updated semiannually, at the end of the second and fourth quarters of each year. Please see DCP’s annual Housing Production Snapshot summarizing findings from the 21Q4 data release here. Additional Housing and Economic analyses are also available. The NYC Department of City Planning’s (DCP) Housing Database Unit Change Summary Files provide the net change in Class A housing units since 2010, and the count of units pending completion for commonly used political and statistical boundaries (Census Block, Census Tract, City Council district, Community District, Community District Tabulation Area (CDTA), Neighborhood Tabulation Area (NTA). These tables are aggregated from the DCP Housing Database Project-Level Files, which is derived from Department of Buildings (DOB) approved housing construction and demolition jobs filed or completed in NYC since January 1, 2010. Net housing unit change is calculated as the sum of all three construction job types that add or remove residential units: new buildings, major alterations, and demolitions. These files can be used to determine the change in legal housing units across time and space.

Freshness
The publisher's promise
How the agency that publishes this data says it keeps the data current.
DormantNo automatic refresh
- Automatic refresh
No scheduled refresh runs for this dataset, and a refresh you ask for on this page is refused.
- The publisher set a regular schedule for this dataset but has not updated it for far longer than that schedule, so the automatic queue skips it. An hourly triage lifts this fence once the publisher updates it again, which takes up to about 7 hours 15 minutes. This fence does not stop a refresh you ask for on this page.
- Our catalog lists this dataset without keeping a copy of its rows, so the automatic queue has no copy to refresh. This fence refuses a refresh you ask for on this page.
- This dataset needs a copy method that the automatic queue does not run, such as a bulk export of a very large table. This fence refuses a refresh you ask for on this page.
