This dataset adheres to the House Facts Data Standard version 1.2 - which is a government open data standard that provides a uniform format for reporting governmental data on the regulation of health and safety laws for residential housing in a machine readable format. The specification links data to the residential building understanding that a single building may have multiple dwelling units and multiple owners.

Current and historical information about complaints received that have become cases for further investigation.

Environmental complaints received by the Department of Environment (DOE) from January 1993 to December 31, 2011 and by the Department of Public Health (CDPH) since January 1, 2012. On January 1, 2012, the DOE was disbanded and all its inspection, permitting, and enforcement authorities were transferred to the CDPH. Data fields requiring description are detailed below. COMPLAINT ID: This is the unique identifier of the complaint incident. COMPLAINT TYPE: Specifies the type of complaint. CDPH complaint types are “Abandoned Site”, “Air Pollution Work Order”, “Asbestos Work Order”, “Construction and Demolition”, “Toxics Hazardous Materials Work Order”, ”Illegal Dumping Work Order”, “Noise Complaint”, “Permits Issued by DOE Work Order”, “Recycling Work Order”, “Service Stations/Storage Tanks Work Order”, “Vehicle Idling Work Order”, and “Water Pollution.” For consistency, historic DOE complaint types were renamed to match the most appropriate CDPH complaint type. DOE complaint types that had no matches are designated as “Other.” MAPPED LOCATION: Contains latitude/longitude coordinates of the site as determined through the Chicago Open Data Portal’s geocoding engine. In instances where the facility address is a range, the lower number (the value in the “Street Number From” column) is used for geocoding. For example, for the range address 1000-1005 S Wabash Ave, the Mapped Location would be the coordinates for 1000 S Wabash Ave. INSPECTOR: Contains the badge or ID number of the inspector or engineer who conducted the compliant inspection. COMPLAINT DATE: Date complaint was received by the department. COMPLAINT DETAIL: Brief description of the nature of the complaint. INSPECTION LOG: This is the inspector’s narrative log of the complaint inspection. DATA SOURCE: The city department that collected the data.

Pursuant to New York City’s Housing Maintenance Code, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issues violations against conditions in rental dwelling units that have been verified to violate the New York City Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) or the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law (MDL). Violations are issued when an inspection verifies that a violation of the HMC or MDL exists. It is closed when the violation is corrected, as observed/verified by HPD or as certified by the landlord.
