Move-In Ready Leads: New NYC Certificates of Occupancy

NYC buildings that just got their first Certificate of Occupancy, so tenants and owners are moving in now. Each comes with the owner and architect. About 2¢ a lead.

A Certificate of Occupancy (CO) is the city's sign-off that a new or converted building is ready for people. The Actor pulls newly issued first Temporary COs and Final COs from the NYC Department of Buildings (about 240 a month citywide) and excludes TCO renewals, which are most of the dataset. Each lead has the address, neighborhood, dwelling units, job type, CO type and issue date. The owner's business and name and the architect/applicant are looked up from the matching DOB job filing.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? The "DOB NOW: Certificate of Occupancy" dataset on data.cityofnewyork.us, published by the NYC Department of Buildings. Owner and applicant come from the DOB job filing datasets on the same portal. What's the difference between Temporary and Final? A first TCO means parts of the building can legally be occupied, which is usually when move-ins start. A Final CO means all work is signed off. Renewals of existing TCOs are excluded. Does it include phone numbers or emails? DOB doesn't publish them. Owner LLC names make enrichment easy. How do I avoid duplicates? Keep "Only new since last run" on, and use a different dedupe store name for each separate feed.
