This data would be more valuable if available as a web service with the ability to select by date created. Also if it contained business owner's name and contact info.

The one improvement that could make this useful for those researching 20-minute neighborhoods is to code the business license information by neighborhood. I am working on such a project right now, but I don't know if I will be able to code all of them (just the neighborhood I study).

Is this data never updated? It is showing February 24, 2010 as the last updated date.

This dataset is updated daily. Please refer to the technical documentation links for a dataset's maintenance/update frequency. The above field for Date Updated is in error. Thanks.

hi, I checked the technical documentation link for the update information on this dataset, I couldnt find the last dataset update date. Could you help me to find out the vintage mark on this dataset? Thank you!

Per section 1.4 in the tech documentation, Maintenance/Update Frequency = Daily

Hi, Thank you! Also: Is it possible to get NAICS codes for this data (in addition to NAICS description). Thanks again!

rnixon :: July 19, 2011 - 10:35am

NAICS codes and descriptions are now included in this dataset as of today. Thanks!
