Zoning

Land-use applications

Pick a land-use application to see it in plain English -- applicant, what's proposed, affordable units when relevant, status -- and on a map. Try "79 Rivington" or "Gowanus".

How this list works

Rezoning data comes from NYC's Zoning Application Portal (ZAP) via NYC Open Data, which the city refreshes about monthly. A change on the live ZAP site can take weeks to appear here. Lot outlines use the same tax-lot boundaries shown in ZAP Search. When a lot cannot be matched, confirm the location on ZoLa.

City property disposition

Hearings, sales, and awards

Property dispositions are grouped by parcel and process stage — hearing, auction or RFP, then award or conveyance — so repeated titles collapse when they share a tax lot. Links lead to the City Record source.

City agency rulemaking

Proposal, public process, adoption

How this list works

Public hearings and meetings

Not every meeting is a hearing

A public hearing is a scheduled chance to give testimony or evidence on a specific matter. A public meeting is broader — some are open only to observe. Open any listing to see what the body can do next and how you can take part.

How this list works
Public hearings follow a meeting arc — scheduled, agenda, held, then outcomes — with next steps when attendance or testimony is published. Same-board same-day notices collapse into one card. Each notice links to its City Record source.
Affected place drives “near me.” The venue is shown separately, because a Manhattan hearing can decide a Queens matter. Citywide and unlocated notices stay visible.

When can you attend?

Weekdays from 17:00 (inclusive), all day Saturday and Sunday, Eastern Time (New York). Meetings without a start time stay in ordinary browse.

Exams

Civil-service exams

Open exams come first, sorted by the soonest application deadline. Upcoming dates are tentative until DCAS posts the NOE. Choose an interest area — never a personal profile.

How multi-watch digests arrive

When one email has more than one active watch, CityScroll sends a single daily digest with a section per watch. Group the demo watches below by topic, agency, or geography to see how related alerts cluster.

Consolidated digest (demo)

Change frequency, pause a watch, or unsubscribe from the preference center linked in every digest footer.

Manage watches

Changes apply to the next digest (about 9am Eastern).

If a daily watch is quiet for 14 days, we send a still-watching note so silence never looks like an outage.

Unsubscribe takes effect immediately.
