All data is sourced directly from New York City government systems: DOB (BIS + DOB NOW), ACRIS, HPD, ECB, FDNY, and PLUTO. Geotechnical data integrates NYSDEC, USGS NWIS, and EPA records. We do not use estimated or modeled values as primary inputs — every number traces back to a government source.
DOB NOW permits and filings update continuously via live scraping. BIS historical data is refreshed nightly. ACRIS transactions and HPD/ECB violations are on rolling sync schedules. Most operational data is current within 24–48 hours of city system updates.
