Data request · Citizen request
Hi, I am looking for eviction data prior to 2017 when the current data set starts. The current data set can be found here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Evictions/6z8x-wfk4 I am trying an analyze the effects of right to council in the city of New York.
Hi , In the dataset description of the eviction data here https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Evictions/6z8x-wfk4, the Department of Investigation had this to say about data prior to 2017 "Eviction data is compiled from the majority of New York City Marshals. Marshals are independent public officials and should be contacted directly for more information at https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doi/offices/marshals-list.page Data prior to January 1 2017 is not currently available." For information requests (documents, correspondence, etc.) we encourage you to submit a FOIL request via Open Records: https://a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/ FOIL stands for the Freedom of Information Law. The New York State Freedom of Information Law requires government agencies to provide records to the public upon request. Government records affect the lives of each New Yorker, and providing easy access to the records makes government work better. The FOIL definition of records is very broad and includes information found in paper and electronic documents and audio and visual recordings. All records are available upon request, unless an exception in FOIL permits an agency to deny access to a record. Learn more about FOIL requests via this Frequently Asked Questions page. Thank you, - NYC Open Data Team
