# Datasets — the New York DMV facility register, prepared

> The 54,515 New York DMV facility licences as a dataset: fields, measured fill rates, and published prices.

## Datasets

The pages of this site are free and will stay free — a public fact belongs to nobody. What is sold is the work of compiling it.

The pages of this site are free and will stay free : **an official fact belongs to no one**. What is sold here is the compilation work — extracting the New York DMV facility register, reconciling it, dating it, and delivering it in a usable form.

### Why a snapshot ages differently here

The Department publishes this file **annually**. That sounds
like a slow-moving register, and it is the opposite: between publications,
licences lapse and are renewed with nothing to show for it, so the gap between
the file and reality widens for a whole year and then closes at once.

What has value is therefore not the snapshot but the **difference
between publications** — which facilities gained a licence, which
lost one, which changed hands. That is the part nobody keeps, because the
Department republishes over the top.

### What is in it

Every field below is measured on the delivered rows, not estimated. A ⚠️
marks a column the source does not contain — that is the part you
cannot get by downloading the file yourself.

*Fields delivered and fill rate, measured on the rows actually delivered — not estimated*

| Field | Description | Filled |
|---|---|---|
| `facility` | DMV facility number | 100.0 % |
| `licence_code` | The three-letter code, verbatim | 100.0 % |
| `licensed_as` | ⚠️ The code resolved to the Department's own wording — 21 codes, mapped from the published field definition | 100.0 % |
| `key` | ⚠️ facility + code — the real key, because one facility holds several licences | 100.0 % |
| `name` | ⚠️ Business name, rejoined from the source's two 20-character columns and case-normalised | 100.0 % |
| `owner` | ⚠️ Owner name, rejoined from its two columns | 100.0 % |
| `street` | Street address | 100.0 % |
| `city` | ⚠️ Town, case-normalised | 100.0 % |
| `county` | ⚠️ County code resolved to the full county name, checked against the 62 counties for prefix collisions | 100.0 % |
| `current` | ⚠️ 1 where the licence had not expired at publication | 100.0 % |
| `first_issued` | ⚠️ ISO date, normalised from MM/DD/YYYY | 100.0 % |
| `expires` | ⚠️ ISO date, normalised | 100.0 % |

The 9 fields marked ⚠️ **do not exist in the source** : we add them — a join, a normalisation, or a reconstructed history. That is the part a buyer cannot reproduce by downloading the official file.

⚠️ Two fields of the source are deliberately absent from the
pages of this site, though they are in the data we deliver: the
**owner’s name**, which is a natural person’s name,
appears only on an individual result. And **georeference** is not
carried at all — this site answers a question about licences, not a map,
and a coordinate pair adds nothing to it.

### What it costs

- **Change feed — USD 300 / month**Or USD 3 000 a year. At every collection, what came in, went out or changed since the previous one. This is the part that does not age.
- **One slice — USD 90 / month**The feed restricted to a single county, for those who do not need the rest.
- **Full snapshot — USD 4 000, once**The state of the register on the day of delivery, every field included. Listed last on purpose : a snapshot ages.

**Not a consumer reporting agency.** This site
and the datasets sold from it are **not** consumer reports under
the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and must not be used to decide anyone's
eligibility for employment, credit, insurance, housing, or any other purpose
covered by the FCRA. If you need a background check, use a screening company
that operates as a consumer reporting agency.

### Order

Tell us what you need : we reply with a sample, the field dictionary, and an invoice. **No payment is taken on this site** — an order opens a conversation.

Prices in USD, before any applicable tax. Delivered as CSV and Parquet, by download link. Every request is answered by hand.
