About SuperNYC

SuperNYC is a small collection of free tools that solve everyday New York City problems — alternate-side parking, subway delays, take-home pay after city tax, apartment scams, and whether you can actually afford to move here.

SuperNYC is run by a small team of NYC residents. We don't take outside investment and the site has no employees. Reach us at hello@supernyc.com.

We built it because the city already publishes the data — 311 feeds, MTA GTFS-RT, DOF tax tables, DSNY calendars — but the experiences wrapped around that data are usually slow, ugly, or buried inside agency portals. SuperNYC turns the public answers New Yorkers ask every week into one-tap tools that load fast even on a crowded train.

Every number in every tool traces back to a primary source: tax brackets to the IRS and NY Department of Taxation, parking dates to NYC DOT's published calendar, subway alerts to MTA's GTFS-RT feed, and rental scam heuristics to NYPD, FTC, and StreetEasy guidance. Each tool's FAQ cites the source it uses, and we re-verify the underlying data on a schedule (tax tables annually, parking calendar every November, neighborhood rents quarterly).

We pay the bills with display advertising. Today that means Google AdSense; once traffic justifies it, we'll move to a higher-RPM network and eventually take direct sponsorships from NYC-specific advertisers (movers, brokers, accountants, rental insurance). We'd rather tell you that up front than pretend the site runs on goodwill. Ads always sit above, beside, or below a tool — never between an input and its answer.

We don't collect personal information. There's no signup wall, no account, no email gate. The scam-check tool runs entirely in your browser — pasted listing text never leaves your device, isn't sent to our servers, and isn't stored anywhere. If you'd rather not see ads, a content blocker won't break anything — the tools are designed to work standalone.

Have a tool you wish existed? Email hello@supernyc.com. We read every message, and most of the ideas on our roadmap came from someone yelling about a specific NYC annoyance.
