Abstract
This dataset represents a compilation of data from various government agencies throughout the City of New York. The underlying geography is derived from the Department of City Planning's COGIS project. Through COGIS, the Department of City Planning is responsible for maintaining the city's base map for all city agencies. The attribute information is the Department of City Planning's PLUTO database application. The attribute data pertains to tax, adminstrative, and locational information related to each lot in New York City.
Purpose
MapPLUTO was created by the Department of City Planning to aid city agencies in administering public services.

Data Quality Information
Attribute Accuracy Report
The Department of City Planning makes no assurances about the accuracy of these data.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The MapPLUTO files are created from Release 02B of the Department of City Planning COGIS Tax Lot base map file. The Department of City Planning is in the process of conflating (i.e., graphically aligning) the COGIS files to precision aerial photography of the city. Over time, this will increase the spatial accuracy of the files. This release of COGIS is at an intermediate stage of conflation.

Department of City Planning based on data from: Department of Finance - RPAD Master File
Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation
Two portions of the city, Marble Hill and Rikers Island, are each legally located in one borough but are serviced by different boroughs. The BOROUGH codes associated with these areas are the boroughs they are legally located in. Specifically, Marble hill is serviced by the Bronx but is legally located in Manhattan and has a Manhattan BOROUGH code. Rikers Island has a Bronx BOROUGH code because it is legally located in the Bronx although it is serviced by Queens.
Block
The tax block in which the tax lot is located. Each tax block is unique within a borough (see BOROUGH). (Coordinates defining the features.)
Definition Source
Department of Finance - RPAD Master File
Lot
The number of the tax lot. Each tax lot is unique within a tax block (see BLOCK).
Definition Source
Department of Finance - RPAD Master File
Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation
Each unit in a building that is a condominium is defined by the Department of Finance as a separate tax lot. To make condominium information more compatible with parcel information, the Deparment of City Planning aggregated condominium unit tax lot information so that each condominium complex within a tax block is represented by only one tax lot record. A condominium complex is defined as one or more structures or properties under the auspicies of the same condominium association. The Department of City Planning then assigned the condominium billing tax lot number to the condominium complex tax lot record. If the Department of Finance has not yet assigned a billing tax lot number to the condominium complex then the lowest tax lot number within the condominium complex was used.

Department of City Planning based on data from: Department of Finance - RPAD Master File, Department of City Planning - Tax Block and Tax Lot Not Clipped to the Shoreline, Department of City Planning - Geosupport System
Attribute Value Accuracy
Only one data source is used per tax lot.
Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation
The Tax Block and Lot Not Clipped to Shoreline File is used as the source when Tax Block and Lot Not Clipped to Shoreline File identifies a community district for a tax lot. Otherwise the community district number is obtained from the Department of City Planning Geosupport System. If the community district is not available from the Geosupport System the DOF-RPAD Master File is used.Two portions of the city, Marble Hill and Rikers Island, are legally located in one borough and are each serviced by different boroughs. The cd2 codes associated with these areas are the community districts they are serviced by. Specifically, Marble Hill is legally located in Manhattan but is serviced by the Bronx and has Bronx cd2 codes of 207 or 208. Rikers Island has a Queens cd2 code of 401 since it is serviced by Queens even though it is legally located in the Bronx.
CT2000

Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation
A tax lot's land use category is derived from the lot's building class (see bldgClass). The Department of City Planning assigned building classes to the most appropriate land use category. Park properties were identified using data sources other than the DOF Building Classes and, where appropriate, were classified with a Land Use Category of 09- Open Space and Outdoor Recreation, regardless of the tax lot's building class.
Easements
The number of easements on the tax lot. If the number is zero, the tax lot has no easement.

Varying
Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation
Lot Area contains street beds when the tax lot contains paper streets, i.e. oficially mapped but not built. If the tax lot is not an irregularly shaped lot (irrLotCode) the Department of Finance derives the Lot Area by multiplying the Lot Frontage by the Lot Depth. If the tax lot is irregularly shaped Finance manually calculates the Lot Area from the Tax Maps. If the lot area is zero, data is not available for the tax lot.
BldgArea
The total gross area in square feet.

Attribute Value Accuracy
The sum of ComArea ad ResArea does not always equal the floor area.
Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation
If AreaSource field has a code of 1 or 2, the total floor area is for all of the buildings on the tax lot. Measurements are based on exterior dimensions. The building floor area is calculated by multiplying the building footprint by the number of stories, where the number of stories includes all full and partial stories above the ground floor. If the AreaSource field has a value of 5, the floor area was calculated from the DOF RPAD Master File using the building dimensions and number of stories for ONLY the largest building on the tax lot.
ComArea
An estimate of the exterior dimensions of the portion of the building(s) allocated for commercial use.
