Evictions — NYC Open Data: complete dataset

This dataset lists executed evictions within the five boroughs for the years 2017-Present (data prior to January 1, 2017, is not available). The data fields may be sorted by 20 categories of information including Court Index Number, Docket Number, Eviction Address, Marshal First or Last Name, Borough, etc.. Eviction data is compiled from New York City Marshals. This Actor returns it as one flat JSON row per record, with 20 declared fields — typed, named and documented in the dataset schema, so a spreadsheet or an agent can use it without guessing.

What you get

Field	Type	Meaning
residential_commercial_ind	string	Residential/Commercial
ejectment	string	Ejectment
executed_date	string	Executed Date
docket_number	number	Docket Number
longitude	number	Longitude
nta	string	NTA
borough	string	BOROUGH
eviction_possession	string	Eviction/Legal Possession
latitude	number	Latitude
eviction_apt_num	string	Eviction Apartment Number
bbl	number	BBL
bin	number	BIN
marshal_first_name	string	Marshal First Name
council_district	number	Council District
census_tract	number	Census Tract
marshal_last_name	string	Marshal Last Name
community_board	number	Community Board
eviction_zip	number	Eviction Postcode

Every row also carries sourceRowId, sourceUpdatedAt and scrapedAt, so a pipeline can tell one record from another and know exactly when it was read.

Inputs

Field	What it does
Filter (SoQL)	Applied at the source, so a narrow question fetches a narrow page instead of downloading everything.
Order	Empty keeps the publisher's own order; set a column to sort, for example amount DESC.
Maximum rows	Hard cap. The source is paged 1,000 rows at a time.
Time budget	Stops cleanly and reports how far it got.
Pause between pages	Keeps the run inside the publisher's rate limits.

Limitations

• This is one dataset, from one publisher. It is the Evictions dataset as Department of Investigation (DOI) publishes it — not a national or cross-city equivalent, and not a merge with other sources.
• The publisher can change it. Columns are added, renamed and retired upstream; the field list here is the schema the Actor was generated from. A renamed column arrives as a new field only after the Actor is updated.
• Fields are typed from live records. A column that was empty in the sample is declared as text; a value that does not fit the declared type comes back null rather than being coerced into a wrong number.
• Records are what the publisher publishes. No geocoding, no de-duplication across datasets, no enrichment.
• Freshness is the publisher's. The data was last changed upstream on 2026-10-25. Where the publisher supplies a row timestamp it appears as sourceUpdatedAt; scrapedAt records when this Actor read the row.

Why this is different

• Evictions — NYC Open Data: complete dataset declares all 20 of its output fields in the dataset schema, each with a type, a description and an example.
• The Actor reads the Evictions dataset directly from NYC Open Data; no key, login or account is needed.
• Filters run at the source with SoQL, so a narrow request returns a narrow page rather than a full download.
• Every row is flat JSON: nested location objects become latitude and longitude, and no field holds a nested object.
• The row id is stable, so the same request de-duplicates instead of returning the same record twice.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. NYC Open Data publishes this dataset openly.

How fresh is it? The Actor reads the dataset live. scrapedAt records when each row was read, and sourceUpdatedAt carries the publisher's own row timestamp where it supplies one.

Can I filter by date or status? Yes — use the Filter field with SoQL, for example status = 'Active'.

What happens if my filter is wrong? The run stops with the portal's own message and the hint to check SoQL, rather than returning an empty dataset that looks like "no data".

Is this the whole dataset? Up to your row cap, paged 1,000 at a time. Raise the cap to read more.

What is sourceRowId? The publisher's own row id when it supplies one, otherwise a stable hash of the row. Either way it is what makes de-duplication and joins possible.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.0005 per row. Each stored dataset row is billed, including any diagnostic row returned instead of results.

An Actor-start event is also charged at $0.0001 per GB of allocated memory (minimum one event), even if no rows are returned. At 1 GB or less, 1,000 result rows cost $0.5001 before any applicable Store discount.
