Parks from NYC Parks Properties (data.cityofnewyork.us enfh-gkve). NYCHA development names and apartment counts from the NYCHA Development Data Book (data.cityofnewyork.us evjd-dqpz, data as of 1/1/2025).

“Open” counts every HPD violation not yet recorded as corrected, including old ones owners never certified, so totals can exceed the number of apartments.
