NYC civic tools

Five tools · NYC Open Data · refreshed nightly

Where the city quietly gives up.

Public records, read closely. Which 311 complaints get closed without a fix, which buildings go cold every winter, which bike lanes are always blocked, which parks are waiting on a repair. Everything runs in your browser from NYC Open Data. Nothing you type is stored.

Only public data

Every number comes from datasets the city already publishes: 311 requests, HPD violations and registrations, MTA bus speeds. Rebuilt nightly, no city access needed.

Nothing stored

No accounts, no analytics, no server that sees what you look up. Addresses and request numbers stay in your browser.

Open source

The code, the scoring rules, and the build scripts are all on GitHub under the MIT license. Read them, fork them, argue with them.
