Liquor (SLA)
  • School, about 200 ft: ABC Law §64(7)(a) (solid line)
  • House of worship, about 200 ft: ABC Law §64(7)(a) (solid line)

The liquor 500-foot rule (ABC Law §64(7)(b)) is about three or more licensed premises, not schools, so it has no ring. Address pages count those licenses instead.

Cannabis (OCM)

The laws measure from entrance to entrance, on the same street. SLAM has neither entrance locations nor street logic: each ring is a straight-line circle around a school or house of worship point. A ring is a guide, not a ruling. Rings are not the only way to see a distance: every address page lists the schools and houses of worship near it, with distances.

About this map

When the map first opens, it shows pending liquor applications, the liquor distance rings, 311 complaints, and the schools and houses of worship the rings are drawn around. Every other layer is in the Layers box. 311 complaints are colored by type, based on the first SLAM's layers: commercial noise, drinking, outdoor dining, and other. "Stacked chips" piles the complaints at one point into a column, as the first SLAM did, so busy addresses stand out; a stack stops at 12 chips and shows the total above it. "Circles sized by count" draws one circle per point, larger for more complaints, colored by the most common type, with the count inside. Selecting any point shows its details in a panel beside the map (under it on a phone), with a link to its full address page. The map keeps your view, layers and selection in its web address, so Back returns you here; your layer choices are also remembered in this browser for next time. "Reset to default" at the top of the Layers box turns the layers back to how the map first opens, forgets the saved choices and keeps the view. On a phone, the Layers box starts closed so the map fits on the first screen; select Layers to open it. Colors follow the Layers box groups: liquor layers are blue, violet and gray (pending applications are open circles), cannabis layers are green, Dining Out is raspberry, and 311 complaints are orange, red, brown and gray-green. Schools (dark gray), houses of worship (light purple) and other religious property (tan) show where the rings are drawn from; selecting one shows its name, type and address in the panel. Schools come from the City's Facilities Database; houses of worship are PLUTO tax lots in building class M1, and other religious property is class M2, M3, M4 or M9 (PLUTO has no names). The layers are grouped by license type, and each group has its own Distance rings (approximate), showing only that law's rings (the liquor rings start on, the cannabis rings start off). A ring's color and line say which law: liquor rings are solid navy lines, cannabis rings are dashed green lines. Liquor (SLA): School, about 200 ft: ABC Law §64(7)(a) (solid line); House of worship, about 200 ft: ABC Law §64(7)(a) (solid line).Cannabis (OCM): School, about 500 ft: Cannabis Law §72(6)(a) (dashed line); House of worship, about 200 ft: Cannabis Law §72(6)(b) (dashed line). With both on, a ring the two laws share is drawn once, as the solid liquor line with the cannabis dashes over it, and its label names both laws. Other religious property has no ring. The laws measure from entrance to entrance, on the same street. SLAM has neither entrance locations nor street logic: each ring is a straight-line circle around a school or house of worship point. A ring is a guide, not a ruling. The liquor 500-foot rule (ABC Law §64(7)(b)) is about three or more licensed premises, not schools, so it has no ring. Address pages count those licenses instead. Rings are not the only way to see a distance: every address page lists the schools and houses of worship near it, with distances. Street events have no coordinates in the source and are not on the map. The street map is the City's own basemap, from NYC's Office of Technology and Innovation; if it does not load, or stops loading while you use the map, OpenFreeMap (OpenStreetMap data) is used instead. The list view is the accessible equivalent of this map: every license, cannabis, Dining Out, school and religious-property point is in it, and its 311 tab counts every complaint and lists the most recent ones.
