DOB NOW: Certificate of Occupancy

Official daily-updated NYC Open Data dataset of certificates of occupancy issued through DOB NOW from March 2021 onward. Records resolve by BIN, street address, borough/block/lot and BBL, and publish DOB job filing, certificate application and C of O identifiers, request and issuance dates, issued status, filing type and sequence, dwelling-unit count, and geographic reference fields. This is an issued-certificate index: it does not publish approved use, occupancy group, floor/area schedules, effective or expiration date, document URL, or an explicit current/superseded flag. Absence must not be interpreted as evidence of present use, illegal occupancy, safety, or noncompliance.

Dwelling Unit Completion Counts by Building Permit

Official San Francisco DBI monthly open dataset of changes in the count of new residential units approved for occupancy. A row identifies a building permit application and address, issuance date, document type (Initial Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, Amended TCO, or Certificate of Final Completion), and additional units certified. DBI staff compile the records from occupancy certifications. This is not a complete Certificate of Occupancy register: only certifications that change the net unit count are recorded, a CFC may be omitted when an earlier TCO already counted all units, and the schema has no block/lot, approved-use code, TCO expiration, certificate revision identifier, or current legal-occupancy status. Preserve each emitted event and do not infer present operations, present legal occupancy, or code compliance. Validate dates: although the description focuses on units made available since January 2018, a live aggregate returned dates from 2002 through an anomalous year 2205.
