    Rodent Inspection

    Metadata Updated: January 18, 2026

    Dataset contains information on rat inspections.

    Rat Information Portal Data Release Notes April 20, 2015

    The Rat Information Portal (RIP) is a web-based mapping application where users can view rat inspection data.

    Data sources: NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), Division of Environmental Health Pest Control Database

    Notes on data limitations: Please note that if a property/taxlot does not appear in the file, that does not indicate an absence of rats - rather just that it has not been inspected. Similarly, neighborhoods with higher numbers properties with active rat signs may not actually have higher rat populations but simply have more inspections.
