oath_hearings

The oath_hearings dataset can be added to NYCDB by running:

nycdb --download oath_hearings
nycdb --load oath_hearings

Provenance

The dataset comes from the NYC open data portal's OATH Hearings Division Case Status dataset.

The OATH Hearings Division Case Status dataset contains information about alleged public safety and quality of life violations that are filed and adjudicated through the City’s administrative law court, the NYC Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) and provides information about the infraction charged, decision outcome, payments, amounts and fees relating to the case. The summonses listed in this dataset are issued and filed at the OATH Hearings Division by City enforcement agencies.

OATH hearings from this dataset can also be connected to records in the ECB Violations dataset to get additional information about the violation. For more details on how to do this, see this example query.
