    DOHMH Dog Bite Data

    Metadata Updated: February 24, 2024

    NYC Reported Dog Bites.

    Section 11.03 of NYC Health Code requires all animals bites to be reported within 24 hours of the event.

    Information reported assists the Health Department to determine if the biting dog is healthy ten days after the person was bitten in order to avoid having the person bitten receive unnecessary rabies shots. Data is collected from reports received online, mail, fax or by phone to 311 or NYC DOHMH Animal Bite Unit. Each record represents a single dog bite incident. Information on breed, age, gender and Spayed or Neutered status have not been verified by DOHMH and is listed only as reported to DOHMH. A blank space in the dataset means no data was available.
