Data Set Name
Tree Records (Inspections, removes, work orders, service requests, etc.)
Data Set Description
Records of Forestry-related records for NYC Parks & Recreation.
Work Orders are used to record activities performed by Parks staff, contractors, other Agencies, or private entities in the case of permitted work. ForMS 2.0 requires that WOs can only be created from an Inspection, with the exception of a Debris Removal – Misc. Wood WO where the associated tree cannot always be determined.
This dataset can be joined to the Forestry Planting Spaces dataset by joining PlantingSpaceGlobalID from Forestry Work Orders to GLOBALID from Forestry Planting Spaces.
Inspections are used to record field observations. ForMS 2.0 requires that Inspections can only be created from either a Tree Point or Planting Space based on the asset in question. Inspection types vary depending on the inspector’s workflow:
• level 1 (limited visual)
• level 2 (basic)
• level 3 (advanced)
• Re-inspection
• Sidewalk Rating (Trees and Sidewalks Inspections)
• General – Planting Space (Street Tree Planting Inspections)
This dataset can be joined to the Forestry Tree Points dataset by joining TreePointGlobalID from Forestry Inspections to GLOBALID from Forestry Tree Points.
Two-way integration with 311 is maintained in ForMS 2.0. Forestry related Service Requests (SRs) created by a 311 operator or submitted by the caller through either the 311 website, 311 phone app, or the Parks website stream into the system. Conversely, updates are sent from ForMS 2.0 to 311 when SRs are actioned.
Service Requests can be created directly in ForMS 2.0, however, it is important to note that they will NOT receive a 311 SEIBEL number or be visible in 311. Internally generated SRs should be used to track correspondence, commissioner, or other requests that do not originate from 311.
