Crime Incident Reports (August 2015 - To Date) (Source: New System)
Crime incident reports are provided by Boston Police Department (BPD) to document the initial details surrounding an incident to which BPD officers respond. This is a dataset containing records from the new crime incident report system, which includes a reduced set of fields focused on capturing the type of incident as well as when and where it occurred. Records in the new system begin in June of 2015. The Analyze Boston Data Exports posted now are the updated incident data from the Mark43 RMS Database which launched in September of 2019 and is complete through present with the exclusion of data that falls under [MGL ch.41 s.98f](https://malegislature.gov/laws/generallaws/parti/titlevii/chapter41/section98f). The 2019 data that was originally posted contained combined exports from the Intergraph RMS and the Mark43 RMS during 2019 but the Extract/Transfer/Load process was not updated during the transition.
Shots Fired
The Shots Fired dashboard contains information on shooting incidents that did not result in any victim(s) being struck; but occurred in the city of Boston and fall under Boston Police Department jurisdiction.

[**Click here to check Short-Term Rental Eligibility**](https://data.boston.gov/dataset/short-term-rental-eligibility/resource/83621b97-9a00-4aa7-bf43-28cae04969d4) Boston's ordinance on short-term rentals is designed to incorporate the growth of the home-share industry into the City's work to create affordable housing for all residents. We want to preserve housing for residents while allowing Bostonians to benefit from this new industry. Starting on on January 1, 2019, short-term rentals in Boston will need to [register with the City of Boston](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/short-term-rentals). Eligibility for every unit in the City of Boston is dependant on the following six criteria: * No affordability covenant restrictions * Compliance with housing laws and codes * No violations of laws regarding short-term rental use * Owner occupied * Two- or three-family dwelling * Residential use classification The Short-Term Rental Eligibility Dataset leverages information, wherever possible, about these criteria. For additional details and information about these criteria, please visit [https://www.boston.gov/short-term-rentals](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/short-term-rentals). ## ABOUT THIS DATASET In June 2018, a citywide ordinance established new guidelines and regulations for short-term rentals in Boston. Registration opened January 1, 2019. The Short-Term Rental Eligibility Dataset was created to help residents, landlords, and City officials determine whether a property is eligible to be registered as a short-term rental. The Short-Term Rental Eligibility Dataset currently joins data from the following datasets and is refreshed nightly: * [Live Street Address Management (SAM) Addresses](https://data.boston.gov/dataset/live-street-address-management-sam-addresses). * [Assessing Online](https://data.boston.gov/dataset/assessing-online). * [Building and Property Violations](https://data.boston.gov/dataset/building-and-property-violations1) * [Problem Properties](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V0ZOge7yxbaQmlcuiZX20Sy2Mykrm6cbGVdpjWC_TNY/edit#gid=0) * Income-Restricted Properties * STR Registration Data ## HOW TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY FOR SHORT-TERM RENTAL REGISTRATION 1.

If you find that your unit is listed as **NOT eligible**, and you would like to understand more about why, you can use the Short-Term Rental Eligibility Dataset to learn more. The following columns measure each of the six eligibility criteria in the following ways: 1. No affordability covenant restrictions * A **“yes”** in the **“Income Restricted”** column tells you that the unit is marked as **income restricted** and is NOT eligible. * The **“Income Restricted”** column measures whether the unit is subject to an **affordability covenant**, as reported by the Department of Neighborhood Development and/or the Boston Planning and Development Agency. * For questions about **affordability covenants**, contact the [Department of Neighborhood Development.](https://www.boston.gov/departments/neighborhood-development) 2.

Units with **any open** violations are NOT eligible. Violations counted include: violations of the sanitary, building, zoning, and fire code; stop work orders; and abatement orders. * NOTE: Violations **written before 1/1/19** that are **still open** will make a unit NOT eligible **until these violations are resolved**. * If your unit has an open violation, visit these links to [**appeal your violation(s)**](https://www.boston.gov/departments/public-works/how-appeal-code-violation) or [**pay your code violation fine(s)**](https://www.boston.gov/departments/public-works/how-pay-fine-code-violation). * The **“Violations in the Last 6 Months”** column tells you how many violations the unit has received in the last six months.

Until such complaint-based investigations begin, all units are marked with “no.” * NOTE: Currently no units have a “legally restricted” designation. 4. Owner-occupied * A **“no”** in the **“Unit Owner-Occupied”** column tells you that there is **NO [Residential Tax Exemption](https://www.boston.gov/departments/assessing/filing-property-tax-exemption#nav-1149644700) filed** for that unit via the Assessing Department, and that unit is automatically categorized as NOT eligible for the following [Short-Term Rental types](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/short-term-rentals#unit-types): * Home-Share * Limited-Share * [Residential Tax Exemption](https://www.boston.gov/departments/assessing/filing-property-tax-exemption#nav-1149644700) **indicates** that a unit is owner-occupied and generates a “yes” in the “Unit Owner-Occupied” column. * Owners are **not required** to file a Residential Tax Exemption in order to be eligible to register a unit as a Short-Term Rental. * If you would like to apply for Residential Tax Exemption, you can [apply here](https://www.boston.gov/departments/assessing/how-file-residential-exemption). * If you are the owner-occupant of a unit and you have not filed for Residential Tax Exemption, you can still register your unit by proving owner-occupancy. * It is recommended that you [submit proof of residency](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/short-term-rentals#unit-eligibility-criteria) in your short-term rental registration application to expedite the process of proving owner-occupancy (see “Primary Residence Evidence” section). * **“Building Owner-Occupied”** measures whether the building has a single owner AND is owner occupied.

Zoning Board of Appeal Tracker
### TO VIEW A GLOSSARY OF TERMS FOR THE DIRECTORY - [CLICK HERE](https://data.boston.gov/dataset/zoning-board-of-appeal-tracker/resource/e11dcfa5-6f6f-4999-abc3-741f53c6731f) ### WHAT IS THIS TRACKER FOR? The City of Boston is committed to increasing transparency in the processes around the Zoning Board of Appeal (ZBA). The Inspectional Services Department (ISD) at the City is tasked with ensuring compliance with the zoning code. If an application for a permit is refused because of a zoning violation, applicants are able to appeal the decision to the ZBA and ask for an exception, sometimes known as a “variance.” If the ZBA grants relief, then the appellant is able to continue with the process of obtaining a permit. In order to provide greater transparency in the ZBA process, the City of Boston Zoning Board of Appeal tracker is now available on Analyze Boston. Each record in this tracker represents an appeal of a denied permit application; the original permit application is known as the “parent application.” To find out more information about the original permit application, visit our [Permit Finder tool](https://permitfinder.boston.gov/). To view a map of this data, visit our [ZBA Tracker Map Tool](https://www.boston.gov/appeal-tracker). __To learn more about the ZBA process and how to file an appeal, [visit our website](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/how-file-appeal-zoning-board#start-the-appeal-process).__ ### WHAT DOES EACH STATUS MEAN? __Appeal Submitted__ - indicates that an appeal of a zoning refusal was successfully submitted into ISD’s tracking system, either in-person at ISD (1010 Massachusetts Ave.) or through the online application portal. _More Information:_ * For detailed information on how to file an appeal, see [this page](http://boston.gov/zba-appeal) on the ISD website. _Next steps:_ * The appeal will undergo an initial review by City staff to ensure that all necessary information and documentation has been included. * The appellant must pay a fee. __Community Process__ - indicates that City staff have completed their review and signed off for the appeal process to move onto getting community feedback. _Contact Information:_ * Use the link below to find the Neighborhood Liaison from the Office of Neighborhood Services for the application’s location. _Next steps:_ * The appellant will work with the Mayor’s [Office of Neighborhood Services](https://www.boston.gov/departments/neighborhood-services) to engage with people who own adjacent properties, members of the local community, and other relevant stakeholders. * Depending on the type of project, the [Boston Planning and Development Agency](http://www.bostonplans.org/zoning/zoning-board-of-appeals) may also [conduct a review](http://www.bostonplans.org/getattachment/9b57370e-5a54-4d8d-b275-b93e1d7d42e1). __[Hearing Scheduled](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/zoning-board-appeal)__ - indicates that the appeal has been scheduled for a committee or subcommittee meeting of the ZBA. For this to take place, the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services has notified ISD that the appellant has adequately engaged with the community that would be affected, should the zoning relief be granted. _Attendance Information:_ * View a schedule of hearings at the ZBA [webpage](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/zoning-board-appeal#UpcomingHearings). Select an Upcoming Hearing to find the list of topics and how to attend. _Next steps:_ * The appellant will attend the hearing in person (or through the virtual meeting). The appellant will provide the ZBA with reasons why an exception or variance to the zoning code should be granted and answer any questions from the ZBA. * At the hearing, members of the public will be able to testify in support or against the appeal. * The ZBA will discuss the appeal and vote to approve or deny. _Alternatively:_ * The appellant can request a deferral; if allowed by the ZBA, during the hearing the appeal will receive a new hearing date. * The appellant can withdraw the application; if allowed by the ZBA, it can be withdrawn without prejudice. __Hearing Rescheduled__ - indicates that the appeal’s scheduled committee meeting has been changed. This can happen for several reasons. For example, the appellant can request a deferral if they need more time to complete or update plans, or the board can defer an appeal if a quorum isn’t present (perhaps due to a recusal). A request for deferral is approved by the board, which also selects a new hearing date. _Next steps:_ * Same as Hearing Scheduled above. __Hearing Concluded__ - indicates that the hearing has taken place. The appeal could have been approved, denied, deferred, or withdrawn, with or without additional requirements. _Additional Information:_ * Meeting minutes from each committee meeting are available to download from the ZBA [webpage](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/zoning-board-appeal). _Next steps:_ * The ZBA Executive Secretary finalizes the Board’s decision in writing or the appellant’s attorney submits a finalized decision for ISD Legal Team review. __[ZBA Decision Finalized](https://www.boston.gov/departments/inspectional-services/zoning-board-appeal-decisions)__ - indicates the date on the ZBA’s written decision letter. The decision is listed under the ‘result’ field. _Next steps:_ * Neighboring property owners are notified of the decision shortly after this date * Beginning on the Final Decision Date, neighboring property owners and other involved parties who disagree with the ZBA’s decision have twenty days to file an appeal in Suffolk County Superior Court or Boston Housing Court. (For detailed information on the Zoning Commission and appeal process, please refer to Chapter 665 of the Acts of 1956, available [here](https://www.boston.gov/sites/default/files/file/2020/02/Zoning%20Commission.pdf)) __Appeal Closed__ - indicates the appeal’s outcome has been finalized and the twenty day Appeal period has ended. _Next steps:_ * Depending on the ZBA decision, the appellant may or may not be able to continue the process for seeking the permit for which zoning relief was requested. * If the ZBA approved or sustained with proviso, the appellant must take additional steps before continuing the permitting process. ### WHAT DOES EACH RESULT MEAN? __Approved__ - means the zoning relief requested has been granted. __Approved with Proviso__ - means the zoning relief requested has been granted, with some conditions that must be fulfilled before the permitting process can continue. These conditions will be detailed in the written decision of the ZBA. Examples of such conditions could include: having the Boston Planning and Development Agency review updated plans; submitting more detailed plans; or obtaining additional engineer reports. __Denied__ - means the zoning relief requested was not granted. The appellant must wait a year before submitting a new appeal on a project for the same site. __Denied without Prejudice__ - means the zoning relief requested was not granted. However, the appellant only has to wait thirty days before submitting an appeal on a new project at the same site. __Withdrawn__ - means the appellant has chosen to remove the appeal from the ZBA’s consideration. The appellant does not have to wait a year to appeal the same zoning violations. _Note: If there is no result listed, it means that the ZBA has not issued its final written decision on the appeal. This may be the case even for appeals that have been heard by the ZBA._ ### HOW DO I USE THIS TRACKER? This tracker is designed for members of the public and City of Boston employees to be able to quickly search for a specific appeal that has been submitted to the ZBA, or to search for appeals based on criteria such as location or primary contact, in order to identify the status of the appeal. Below, under the "Data and Resources" header, you will see the "Zoning Board of Appeal Tracker" dataset: * To __look__ at the directory - click the "Preview" button and you will be taken to a spreadsheet-like view of the directory data. * To __expand__ the number of applications available to scroll through, click the "Show _ Entries" drop down at the top left of the data table and select your desired number. Alternatively, you can scroll to the bottom right of the dataset and select your desired page number. * To __search__ the tracker - use the search box to the top right of the data table to search for any keyword in the dataset. For example, if you are looking for a certain contact, type the name into the search box and see what comes back. * To __filter__ the data, click the blue "Add Filter" link at the top left of the data table, select the field you would like to filter on, and select the corresponding value of that field that you would like to display. For example - if you wanted to show applications for properties in Charlestown, you would click "Add Filter", select the "city" field, and select "Charlestown". You can add multiple filters. * To __sort__ the data based on a specific field, click the arrows next to the field name to sort in either ascending or descending order. * To __hide__ columns that aren't relevant to you, click the blue "Hide/Unhide Columns" button at the top right of the data table, and click on the desired column names. Hidden column names will be highlighted in white. To unhide a column, simply click it again. * The Data Dictionary - which explains what each field means and what the values of each field mean - is available as a table below the directory, and is also available as a PDF under the "Data and Resources" header. * If you prefer to work with this data on your own in Microsoft Excel or another tool - you can click "Download". Any filters you apply or columns you hide will be reflected in the download.

Boston Emergency Services Team (BEST)
Through a close partnership with the BEST, Mental Health Clinicians co-respond with BPD officers to improve response to mental health-related calls for service. These clinicians can also assist with holding cell evaluations, provide critical follow-up, and assist with mental health training of BPD officers. BEST operates independently from the BPD and maintains their own confidential client database. Therefore, the BPD will only present monthly aggregate data as provided by this partner organization. The BPD does not have access to any client information per HIPAA and other privacy concerns. This dashboard includes two metrics for the BEST clinicians: the number of incidents to which BEST clinicians co-responded with BPD officers, and the proactive engagement/ follow-ups conducted by BEST clinicians.
Vision Zero Crash Records
_Vision Zero Boston is our commitment to focus the city’s resources on proven strategies to eliminate fatal and serious traffic crashes in the city by 2030. We are inspired by the belief that even one fatality is too many. Learn more about about the Vision Zero Boston program at https://www.boston.gov/departments/transportation/vision-zero._ This dataset, provided as part of the Vision Zero Boston program, contains records of the date, time, location, and type of crash for incidents requiring public safety response which may involve injuries or fatalities. All records are compiled by the Department of Innovation and Technology from the City's Computer-Aided Dispatch (911) system and verified as having required a response from a public safety agency. To protect the privacy of individuals involved in these incidents, we do not indicate the severity of specific crashes or whether medical care was provided in any specific case. _Additional notes:_ - Each incident is included only once regardless of the number of individuals involved. - The date and time of an incident reflects when public safety response was dispatched to the location, not the crash itself. - Records are typically updated on a monthly basis, but because the verification process involves manual confirmation of incidents, exact posting schedules may vary. - Records may be updated after their initial posting if new information becomes available. - Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVAs) provided in this data set are Boston EMS incidents with a documented patient encounter that were identified as an MVA during the 9-1-1 call taking process, by crews on scene, or incidents where the injury cause is documented as related to an MVA. Roadway incidents determined to involve a pedestrian or bicycle are excluded, as they are captured separately in those data sets. Please note, in June of 2024, Boston EMS transitioned to a new patient record system. During this transition, a more refined approach to identifying roadway incidents was established, allowing for additional cases to be captured. Differences in MVA rates before and after June 2024 are reflective of this new reporting methodology and should not be interpreted as a change in motor vehicle incidents. Boston EMS is actively working to further improve this dataset. Once this process is complete, historic records will be updated to reflect the new methodology. If using this data for research, please reach out to Boston EMS directly at emailems@bostonems.org if you have any questions. - **Data is now available through May 31, 2025.**

We are inspired by the belief that even one fatality is too many. Learn more about about the Vision Zero Boston program at http://visionzeroboston.org._ This dataset, provided as part of the Vision Zero Boston program, contains records of the date, time, location, and type of fatality for Vision Zero related crashes resulting in a fatality. All records are compiled by the Department of Innovation and Technology from the City's Computer-Aided Dispatch (911) system and verified by the Boston Police Department as being a Vision Zero related fatality. To protect the privacy of individuals involved in these incidents, we do not provide any descriptions of the incident or whether medical care was provided in any specific case. _Additional notes:_ - Each incident is included only once regardless of the number of individuals involved. - The location of an incident reflects where public safety response was dispatched to, not the incident itself. - Records are typically updated on a monthly basis, but because the verification process involves manual confirmation of incidents, exact posting schedules may vary. - Records may be updated after their initial posting if new information becomes available. - The data includes traffic fatalities that take place on streets that are within the jurisdiction of the Boston Police Department.

Amended in 2021, the Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO) aims to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions generated by large buildings in Boston. BERDO gives the City of Boston authority to set emissions standards for large existing buildings, including residential buildings with 15 or more units and non-residential buildings that are 20,000 square feet or larger. The emissions standards set by BERDO decrease over time, with all buildings expected to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. BERDO encourages retrofits, energy efficiency improvements, fuel switching, and renewable energy generation in local buildings. BERDO applies to the following buildings: * Residential buildings that have 15 or more units. * Non-residential buildings that are 20,000 square feet or larger. * Any tax parcel with multiple buildings that sum to at least 20,000 square feet or 15 units. Every year by May 15, covered building owners need to report the total energy and water use of their buildings from the previous calendar year. The City of Boston is required to annually disclose BERDO reported data from the previous year. ##### Please note: * Reported data from 2021 and earlier was reported under the old Building Energy Reporting and Disclosure Ordinance, which applied to buildings 35,000 square feet and above or 25 units or above. The prior iteration of BERDO required energy and water reporting, but did not include emissions reduction requirements. * Usage figures reported in these datasets are provided by building owners and have not been independently verified by the City of Boston. * This dataset will be updated periodically with usage figures which are submitted or revised after the official reporting deadline. * The compliance map reflects buildings' status as of the reporting deadline in the most recent year, and late submissions will remain marked as out of compliance even if usage figures have subsequently been added to the dataset. * Reports for buildings which show "Not Available" values in one or more fields are pending revision and will be updated when additional data becomes available.
Historical Boston Population Estimates 1950-2020 (Neighborhood Level)
This dataset includes historical demographic data for Boston’s population from 1950 to 2020 using U.S. Census Bureau Decennial Census data from 1950 - 2010, American Community Survey data (2008-2012 ACS for 2010 estimates), and Research Division population estimates for 2020, at the neighborhood level. These historical data are cross walked to 2020 Census Tract geographies, the smallest available geography for some variables included in this dataset. However, the Census Bureau has changed the boundaries of its Census Tracts across the decades. The Research Division used the most recent map of Census Tracts (from the 2020 Census), then where necessary, interpolated data from earlier years’ Census Tracts to conform to the tracts from 2020. For more detailed crosswalk methodology information, please visit the 'About' page of the Division's Exploring Neighborhood Change Tool. The Research Division of the Planning Department developed 2020 estimates in light of the 2020 Decennial Census’s and subsequent American Community Surveys’ undercounts of Boston's population. The Research Division provides annual estimates of Boston's population rectifying this undercount. This dataset includes only the Research Division’s 2020 annual estimate. For estimates of Boston’s population in subsequent years, please see the following analyze boston datasets and/or the Research Division's MyDemographic Viewer Tool. To download these data at the city and neighborhood level, please see these pages: [city-level data](https://data.boston.gov/dataset/historical-boston-population-estimates-1950-2020-city-level), [tract-level data](https://data.boston.gov/dataset/historical-boston-population-estimates-1950-2020-tract-level). To view this data interactively from 1950 to 2035 at the city, neighborhood, and tract level, please use the Research Division's Exploring Neighborhood Change Tool. To view the most recent data year, 2025, and more demographic variables interactively, please use the Research Division's MyDemographic Viewer Tool. For more information on the Research Division's motivations and methodology for creating alternate population estimates to the Census Bureau, please see the following documents: A detailed explanation for the motivation for creating these population estimates can be found here. A presentation overview of the undercount of Boston's population can be found here. A detailed explanation of the population estimation methodology can be found here.
