Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:

The data were developed using DCP's Tax Block Base Map Files, DOITT's NYCMap planimetric street centerlines and 2006 orthophotos as reference sources. Measurements and dimensions for location of zoning features were obtained from DCP zoning maps. The estimated horizontal accuracy is +/- 20 feet.
