Reprinted powers: Powers a law only reprints are listed under the law that created them, or marked as existing code. How this is measured
What counts as a power: authority a local law gives a city agency, office, or officer to act if it chooses to, granted with "may", "is authorized to", "is empowered to", or "shall have the power to". A provision that also requires the agency to do something counts as a duty and appears in the obligations table.
Extraction and verification: powers are extracted from the enacted legislation text on NYC Legistar using Claude, and every quoted passage is mechanically checked against the law text. Rows whose quote could not be verified verbatim are marked in the row detail. Check a record against the law text before relying on it.
Coverage by enactment date: laws extracted before September 2026 were read for their duties only, so the powers listed for them are incomplete. Laws extracted or re-extracted since then are read for both duties and powers. See the methodology for the sorting rule that separates powers from duties.
Agency names: normalized with the NYC Agencies and Governance Organizations dataset (NYC Open Data), so "DOT", "Dept of Transportation", and "Department of Transportation" resolve to one agency.
