SUMMARY:Advancing Climate Compliance: How Data Informs & Challenges Building Retrofits and Decarbonization (Local Law 97)
DESCRIPTION:Local Law 97 of 2019 is one of the nation’s most ambitious climate laws\, setting carbon emissions limits for most large buildings across New York City. As the first major compliance deadlines take effect\, data has become a central driver—shaping how agencies\, nonprofits\, and building owners understand performance\, identify risks\, and plan for long-term decarbonization. \nThis session brings together experts from city agencies and the private sector partners to explore how open data and public datasets are transforming the city’s approach to building emissions. Speakers from NYC Housing Preservation & Development (HPD)\, the Department of Buildings (DOB)\, the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice (MOCEJ)\, and Cadence OneFive will share how their organizations use data to implement the law\, monitor energy usage\, model carbon impacts\, develop compliance services\, and design equitable climate strategies. \nProfessionals\, civic technologists\, and the general public who are interested in the role of data in climate resiliency\, building decarbonization\, affordable housing\, and climate policy will most benefit from attending this session.

SUMMARY:What 13 Million 311 Complaints Reveal About New York City's Quality of Life
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, David Tussey — retired technology executive and former executive director in the NYC Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT\, now OTI) — presents a data-driven Quality of Life Index built entirely from NYC’s 311 Service Request open dataset. Drawing on more than 13 million complaint records spanning 2020 through 2025\, the analysis tracks 30 complaint categories across five quality-of-life domains — from shelter conditions and neighborhood cleanliness to street safety and social distress — and measures how each has changed relative to a pre-established baseline. The methodology\, developed with guidance from mentor Dr. Jun Yan of the University of Connecticut Department of Statistics\, applies seasonally adjusted indexing and Statistical Process Control techniques to surface meaningful trends in public service demand. \nParticipants will see a live walkthrough of the analytical pipeline built in R using NYC Open Data\, including data preparation\, index computation\, and publication-ready visualizations. The session is part demonstration\, part methodology discussion\, and part provocation — the findings raise real questions about urban quality of life that city agencies\, policymakers\, and engaged New Yorkers will want to wrestle with. \nThis session is ideal for city employees working in technology or data roles\, academics and students interested in applied urban analytics\, and anyone curious about what 311 data can reveal when you look beyond individual complaints. No prior technical background is required to follow the findings\, though data practitioners will find the methodology discussion valuable. Attendees are encouraged to come with questions.

SUMMARY:PLUTO and City of Yes: How NYC Planning turns legislation into data
DESCRIPTION:City of Yes for Housing Opportunity is a city-wide zoning text amendment that addresses New York City’s housing crisis by making it possible to build a little more housing in every neighborhood. It was adopted by the City Council in December 2024 and is already being put to use to create homes across all five boroughs. \nHow do legislative changes translate to data changes? How can new and old zoning tools be reflected in land use data? What do people need to know about the City’s tax lots to make informed decisions? \nIn this session\, the Data Engineering team from the NYC Department of City Planning (DCP) will share how the agency added new fields to one of it’s most popular datasets: PLUTO. New fields about Mandatory Inclusionary Housing (MIH) and transit zones will soon be available in PLUTO to give data users a more complete picture of the City’s zoning and land use. \nDCP subject matter experts in zoning\, housing\, and transportation worked with engineers to understand the relevant Zoning Resolution text\, the intentions of City of Yes amendments\, and the data necessary to relate them to every tax lot in the City. Attendees will learn about the processes\, decisions\, and surprises that have been a part of this journey through legislation\, code\, and open data.

SUMMARY:NYC PIT Pop Up: CUNY Open Data Takeover Day Four
DESCRIPTION:As part of NYC Open Data Week 2026\, the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab will host a week-long Open Data Takeover of the NYC PIT Pop-Up at the Oculus / World Trade Center. The activation advances Open Data Week’s goals of accessibility\, civic learning\, and practical use of open data by bringing open data projects into a highly visible\, public-facing space. Attendees can drop in at any time during the hours below for a demonstration of the tool and to speak with the presenter. Most of the demos will also be streamed live from the Pop-Up on its Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cunypitlab). Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics). View the full PIT Lab schedule. No RSVP needed\, just stop by! \n[2pm-6pm]\nMasaru Kakutani – From Data to Action: Addressing NYC Winter Heating Complaints with Data Visualization\nI want to show how anyone interested in actionable policy can\, with the help of generative AI\, quickly create convincing stories. This demonstration is designed to help anyone who is interested in generating clear policy suggestions using NYC Data. A standard generative AI will assist in developing policy suggestions\, but the template ensures that the AI provides only support\, not direction or guidance\, for those interested in creating policies. \nLisa Mae Fielder – MTA Performance Metrics\nThe MTA’s dashboard\, metrics.mta.info\, which is built entirely off of open data\, is going through a major redesign in 2026. We’d like to collect user feedback to better understand features and visuals that the civic tech community would want. \nMichael Freedman – crashcount.nyc: an open data tool for safe-streets advocacy\nCrashcount.nyc is a public\, open-data–driven tool that uses NYC Open Data and AI to document and contextualize traffic crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists\, with the goal of supporting safer-streets advocacy at the neighborhood and district level. This session will demonstrate how publicly available NYC datasets—particularly traffic crash data—can be transformed into clear\, actionable narratives that help communities understand where traffic violence is increasing and how it relates to policy decisions\, street design\, and enforcement. The presentation will walk through the structure of Crashcount.nyc\, the datasets it relies on\, and the design decisions behind presenting complex data in a way that is usable by advocates\, journalists\, and community members without technical backgrounds.
