Registration Contacts Data — NYC Open Data

Contains information about organizations or individuals listed on a Multiple Dwelling Registration. This Actor returns it as one flat JSON row per record, with 15 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
businessstreetname	string	BusinessStreetName
businesszip	number	BusinessZip
title	string	Title
type	string	Type
registrationid	number	RegistrationID
businessapartment	number	BusinessApartment
businesshousenumber	number	BusinessHouseNumber
contactdescription	string	ContactDescription
businessstate	string	BusinessState
lastname	string	LastName
businesscity	string	BusinessCity
middleinitial	string	MiddleInitial
registrationcontactid	number	RegistrationContactID
corporationname	string	CorporationName
firstname	string	FirstName

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

{
  "businessstreetname": "3 59TH ST",

  "type": "CorporateOwner",
  "registrationid": 124732,
  "businessapartment": 1,
  "businesshousenumber": 346,
  "contactdescription": "GEN.PART"

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 Registration Contacts dataset as Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) 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 2026-08-12. Where the publisher supplies a row timestamp it appears as sourceUpdatedAt; scrapedAt records when this Actor read the row.

Why this is different

• Registration Contacts Data — NYC Open Data declares all 15 of its output fields in the dataset schema, each with a type, a description and an example.
• The Actor reads the Registration Contacts 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. A run that matches nothing is not charged for rows.
