Other State Laws reports in New York City

This New York City extract contains 1,604 incidents coded Other State Laws, about 0.4 percent of 400,500 city reports. NYPD published the type on NYC Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes those reports; it does not recode charges or count court outcomes.

Key figures

  • 1,604 New York City incidents are coded Other State Laws — about 0.4% of 400,500 city reports.
  • The type string is NYPD offense classification as published; this site does not recode it.
  • This residual label is not Other State Laws (non Penal Law) and not Miscellaneous Penal Law.
  • Rows are police reports from city open data, not convictions or unique offenders.

What 1,604 Other State Laws reports measure

1,604 rows carry the residual NYPD label Other State Laws. That string is not Miscellaneous Penal Law and is not Other State Laws (non Penal Law), which is a separate published type. The official published label is "Other State Laws." LocalCrimeVault does not rewrite that string.

The 1,604 figure is a count of incident records, not unique statutes and not unique people. "Other" means NYPD stored these rows under this residual grouping rather than under a more specific type title in the public extract. It does not rank seriousness.

Residual statute buckets stay residual

Every row on the New York City open-data incident extract carries a type field drawn from NYPD offense classification as published. If a report was written as Other State Laws, it stays under that string here. This page does not split the 1,604 rows into named statutes the packet does not contain.

A primary type is not a criminal conviction. Other agencies may file similar leftover events under miscellaneous or other-offense names that never appear in this New York City list. Readers comparing cities should match the published string.

Residual statute labels collect what did not fit a more specific NYPD title. Other State Laws is 1,604 rows. The parenthetical non-penal variant is a different type. Miscellaneous Penal Law is also outside this total. This extract is one harvest of NYC Open Data as indexed on LocalCrimeVault.

Share of the 400,500 New York City extract

Against 400,500 New York City incidents, 1,604 Other State Laws reports are about 0.4 percent of the city file. High-volume named types dominate tables; residual buckets are smaller by design.

Keep the denominator in view: 0.4 percent of the indexed city total is not a crime rate. Rates need a population or exposure denominator that this packet does not include.

Reports, not convictions

An Other State Laws row means a report was taken and coded. It does not mean a prosecutor filed a charge, a judge entered a finding, or a person was identified. Treating 1,604 as a conviction tally would overstate legal outcomes.

New York City Police Department publishes the underlying incidents through NYC Open Data. LocalCrimeVault indexes that feed. If the agency later updates a record, the public count can move. This page describes the extract as harvested, not a forecast and not a neighborhood safety score.

How to read the Other State Laws table

The type hub lists the 1,604 rows with the fields NYPD shares publicly: date, coarse location, and related attributes. Block ranges are intentionally coarse. They are not street-number addresses, and they are not proof that a named business or resident was involved.

Nothing in the 1,604 count tells you which statute number applied or whether a case was cleared. Those outcomes are outside this extract. If a filter reduces the table, you have left the headline on purpose.

A block range on an Other State Laws row is not a statute number and not a named agency. The 1,604 count does not itemize which state laws were listed. Cite the type hub for the headline; a filtered subset needs its own integer.

Where to go next in the New York City data

Use the New York City type hub for the live table of these 1,604 rows. The city-wide New York City hub places Other State Laws beside Other State Laws (non Penal Law) and Administrative Code so the 0.4 percent share is visible next to related residual buckets. A cross-city view of the same type slug exists; definitions still follow each agency's feed.

If you are documenting a method, record the extract and the 1,604 / 400,500 pair. Open-data crime files are living tables. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences.

The headline count on this page is 1,604 indexed reports for the published type label against a city file of 400,500 reports. LocalCrimeVault indexes the public incident feed for New York City. Cite the overlay table for row-level fields. Keep reports and convictions in separate sentences. Do not treat this guide as a live dispatch feed, a victimization survey, or a court docket. If a later harvest moves the integer, the new snapshot is a new citation, not a silent revision of this page.

Questions

How many Other State Laws reports are in the New York City index?
This extract includes 1,604 New York City incidents coded Other State Laws. That is about 0.4 percent of 400,500 city incidents indexed on LocalCrimeVault. The figure counts police reports from NYC Open Data, not convictions or unique statutes. NYPD assigned the type; LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.
Is Other State Laws the same as Other State Laws (non Penal Law)?
No. This page covers only rows whose published type is Other State Laws (1,604 reports). Other State Laws (non Penal Law) is a separate NYPD label. Mixing categories would inflate totals. Use the city hub if you need the mix of all types against 400,500 reports.
Does an Other State Laws incident mean someone was convicted?
No. Public incident rows are reports. They can remain in the open-data feed if no arrest was made, if charges were declined, or if the case was later unfounded and not yet removed. The 1,604 count should be read as report volume. Court records live outside this narrative.
Where does LocalCrimeVault get New York City Other State Laws counts?
Counts come from New York City Police Department incidents published on NYC Open Data and indexed here. Offense types are NYPD offense classification as published. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges. Compare the type table with the New York City hub if you need this label next to the other 400,500 city reports.
