Bulk downloads
Native bulk exports from our own tables are coming. Until then, every source dataset is downloadable in full — CSV or JSON, no account needed — directly from NYC Open Data, the same place we pull from hourly.
Per-building CSV is already live on every building page. Full dataset catalog: data.cityofnewyork.us
