The analysis is focused on the two main typologies of buildings which
are Multifamily Housing and Offices which accounts around
74 % of the buildings and 11.5 % respectively.
The LL84 was supplemented with PLUTO data which is a public dataset from
Apple Bits to capture some physical and economic characteristics of the
buildings. Therefore, it is formed by general characteristics, land use,
and geographic data at the tax level. This dataset is building centric
meaning that it contains features to describe both characteristics of
the building and the area where located.
More specifically, PLUTO dataset is composed of 84 features from data by
city agencies and contains 859,464 buildings distributed along the five
boroughs. In Fig 2 , it can be seen the distribution of buildings
contained in the data daset by boroughs.
