Data coverage/methodology

City Record match coverage

CityScroll found or did not find an exact City Record award notice for each registered contract. Contracts without a PIN remain a separate missing-evaluation state.

What public performance evidence is available?

Financial visibility and public performance evidence are separate. This view counts qualifying public terms and evaluation documents, and it does not assess outcomes.

Located source passages

Coverage counts show whether declared CityScroll sources contain qualifying performance terms or evaluation documents. A no-located-evidence count identifies a source-coverage gap. Service outcomes, vendor blame, and performance scores remain unresolved.

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.
