LotInfo GIS is a Windows based, one-stop center for mapped information about New York City properties, programmed for GIS users.
LotInfo GIS functions as an extension to ESRI's ArcGIS™ or MapInfo Professional™, combining the analytic and imaging power of GIS with LotInfo's functionality and data.
Clients may wish to purchase LotInfo GIS for use by trained GIS staff, together with LotInfo Pro or LotInfo Lite for use by non technical staff.
LotInfo GIS attaches lot level mapping of the City to financial, ownership, zoning and physical information about each of the 980,000+ lots in the five boroughs, and enables the user to:
  • Zoom the map to a lot by entering an address, block-and-lot number, or     street intersection.
  • Automatically select adjacent lots
  • Batch geocode files containing street addresses
  • Overlay US Census geography, zip code boundaries, and NYC administrative     and electoral district boundaries
  • Use the GIS to click on a lot and retrieve the associated property information
  • Overlay subway lines and stations, and click on a station to retrieve average     weekday, Saturday and Sunday Station ridership.
  • Combine these features with the full functionality of MapInfo or ArcGIS     software
    • LotInfo GIS can be delivered on disk for individual PC use, or placed on a server or intranet for multiple users.
    Base Mapping
    The LotInfo GIS base map is a lot level map of the city showing lot boundaries, streets and street names, parks and park roadways, highways and shore lines. Street address numbers are labeled at the center points of lots.
    District boundary mapping
    US Census Boundaries, NYC Administrative Districts, Electoral Districts and Zip codes can be overlaid on the lot level base map, and turned on or off. District ct boundaries include:
    City administrative districts: Boroughs
