About the data

Civic Agendas re-publishes public records in a form people can search. It is not affiliated with the City of New York.

Sources

NYC City Council: meetings, agendas, bills, sponsors, votes. Read from the Council’s public Legistar site, legistar.council.nyc.gov. The official Legistar Web API now requires a token; when one is configured, the app uses it instead.
Community boards: contacts and regular meeting schedules from NYC Open Data’s NYC Community Boards dataset.
Land use: applications in public review, their milestones and community board hearing dates from NYC Planning’s Zoning Application Portal.
Addresses: NYC Planning GeoSearch and PLUTO (council and community district for each tax lot).

Coverage and limits

Council meetings from Wed, Sep 9, 2026 to Thu, Jan 7, 2027 (200 meetings, 1721 agenda items, 572 bills, 6921 individual votes). Older legislation is reachable on Legistar but not indexed here.
Community board agendas are posted as PDFs and web pages on 59 separate websites with no common format, so we show each board’s regular schedule (an estimate) and link to its site, and cover land use items through NYC Planning. Board committee meetings are not included.
Address matching finds Council items that name your block, community district or street address. Items that describe a place differently can be missed.
Plain-language explanations are written from the clerk’s action names and can simplify. The official record is always linked.
When enabled, “AI-generated” cards are written by a model running on this server (no outside AI service) from the official record only. Every quote, place, number and name is checked against the record before it is shown, the status always comes from the clerk, and anything that fails a check is not shown. They can still be wrong: verify with the linked sources.
