Suggest a Data Set

We do not anticipate adding new data sets during the Competition Submission Period. However, the City will be posting additional data sets and new formats to the NYC.gov Data Mine on a rolling basis after the Competition. Your suggestions will help the City prioritize subsequent data releases and data collection. We encourage you to submit your suggestions to the NYC.gov Data Mine team as well.
