MapPLUTO merges PLUTO tax lot data with tax lot features from the Department of Finance’s Digital Tax Map (DTM), clipped to the shoreline. It contains extensive land use and geographic data at the tax lot level in ESRI ArcGIS shape format and dbase table format.

Note to Users: These features are provided for reference only an are not intended for determining Inclusionary Housing Bonus eligibility at the tax lot level. Please refer to Appendix F of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York.

This downloadable data is the approximate area in these sections of the City where new development are required to comply to the rules and regulations of Lower Density Growth Management Area.

Note to Users: These features are provided for reference only and are not intended for determining whether new development must comply to rules and regulations at the tax lot level. Please refer to the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York.

Lines are coincident with the Department Of Finance Tax Block edges. This dataset is maintained to reflect changes to mapped zoning districts or zoning text amendments as they are adopted by the City Council.

Note to Users: These features are provided for reference only and are not intended for determining WAP applicability at the tax lot level. Please refer to Section 62-90 of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York.

This downloadable data is the representation of New York City’s Coastal Boundary as defined by the WRP.

Note to Users: These features are provided for reference only and are not intended for determining the Coastal Boundary at the tax lot level. Please refer to the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York. Please refer to the Coastal Boundary maps adopted in 1982.

• LION: A single line street base map representing the city's streets and other linear geographic features such as shorelines, surface rail lines and boardwalks, along with feature names and address ranges for each addressable street segment.
  
  
• Nodes: Points that represent the locations of any combination or intersection of linear features in LION. A node occurs wherever two or more linear features cross regardless of whether a physical intersectiosn occurs at that point.
  
  
• Node Street Name Table: The Table lists the Node Id and the Street names of segments that intersect at the node.  Usually a node has more than one segments to be converged at the node location, therefore a Node Id will have one to many street names associated with the node.
  
  
• Alternate Names Table: Some streets may have multiple street  names, valid for the full length or a portion of the street.  The LION file accounts for most of these cases through the use of Street Codes and Local Group Codes (LGCs) which establish the valid names for each particular segment.  The Alternate Names Table (altnames) is built using all the street names that correspond to the street code and lgc values.

Note To Users:
1. The City Council districts and election districts contained in Release 13B do not yet reflect the revised boundaries drawn during the 2013 City Council Redistricting effort.  The new boundaries will be available as soon as both the City Council District and Election District lines have been approved by the US Department of Justice.
2. As of release 12C, the LION geodatabase will not include built-in Address Locator files for geocoding.
3. The Street Direction Arrows layer included in the download works only in ArcGIS 9.3. To symbolize Street Direction Arrows in ArcGIS 10x, Cartographic Representations can be used. Detailed steps are provided in the Read Me text file.

LION Differences File (LDF) is a sequential file containing records documenting certain types of changes that have occurred between a particular release of LION and the immediately previous LION release.  A new LDF ‘edition’ is ‘published’ in conjunction with each new production release of LION.

Geographic files of Neighborhood Tabulation Areas (NTAs) as created by the New York City Department of City Planning, using whole census tracts from the 2010 Census as building blocks. These aggregations of census tracts are subsets of New York City's 55 Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs). Primarily due to these constraints, NTA boundaries and their associated names may not definitively represent neighborhoods.

Areas of Interest

The PAD (Property Address Directory) file contains additional geographic information at the tax lot level not found in the PLUTO files.  This data includes alias addresses and Building Identification Numbers (BINs).  It consists of two ASCII, comma delimited files: a tax lot file and an address file.

The SND (Street Name Dictionary) file contains a set of geographic feature type names for New York City.  Despite its name, the SND contains not only street names, but also a wide variety of other geographic feature names, including the names of tunnels, bridges, rail lines, shorelines, and geographic place names of various kinds.   It is in ASCII fixed-field format with three different record layouts (see metadata for details).

Release........... 2012 rev.1

Note to Users:  Release 2012 rev.1 is a corrected version of Release 2012.
