- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- Alternate Address Range: Alternative address ranges for the same street name. This can occur where buildings have been renumbered; old numbers will sometimes remain in use. For example, such usage is common in some Queens neighborhoods, including Far Rockaway, Douglaston, Forest Hills and Ridgewood, where non-hyphenated addresses have been replaced by hyphenated addresses.

c
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- Handles a unique situation along the Brooklyn-Queens border, where Ruby Street on the Brooklyn side of the street is known as 75 Street in Queens. Some Brooklyn residents use 75 Street in their address; however there is another 75 Street in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, far from the Queens border.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
d
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- Duplicate Addresses: Duplicate addresses for the same street name. This is primarily restricted to two situations: 1. Hillside Avenue in Queens- there are two Hillside Avenues, one in Far Rockaway, another in Douglaston; and 2. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. in Manhattan. This street name is an alternative name for both E 125 St. and W 125 St. As a result, there are numerous duplicate addresses along this street.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
e
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- Refers to situations in which the name of a neighborhood can serve as an alternate name for all streets in that neighborhood. The two neighborhoods for which this applies are both in the Bronx: Edgewater Park and Harding Park.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
g
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- This is used for names of complexes (e.g., Lincoln Center). Complexes are non-addressable, and are composed of a number of non-addressable place names. Complexes can include individual buildings or parks that are recognized as a grouped entity (e.g., Lincoln Center, Jefferson Houses, City College). "G" records refer to the complex names (Lincoln Center), while the entities within the complex (Alice Tully Hall, Metropolitan Opera, etc.) are flagged as type "x" records. Because of restrictions imposed by MapInfo's address matching, the user must include a "0" as a house number to successfully match a non-addressable place name. For example, "0 Lincoln Center" will match to the correct side of the street for that location.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
n
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- Non-Addressable Place Name: This is used for non-addressable place names. These are place names that cannot be combined with a house number to form an address. Such place names can include individual buildings (e.g., City Hall, Alice Tully Hall), building complexes (e.g., Columbia University, New York Hospital) and large facilities (e.g., Penn Station, LaGuardia Airport). Because of restrictions imposed by MapInfo's address matching, the user must include a "0" as a house number to successfully match a non-addressable plance name. For example, "0 City Hall" will match to the correct side of the street for that location.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
p
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- This is used for out-of-sequence addresses. Such addresses do not follow the logical addressing sequence of the immediately adjacent buildings. For example, address number 62 of a street may exist between addresses 80 and 82, not between 60 and 64 on that blockface (it may also appear on a blockface other than that which contains 60 and 64). Also, the address may be an opposite-parity address, in that its parity (odd/even) is the opposite of the predominant parity on the blockface. For example, address number 62 may appear on the odd side of the street between 63 and 65.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
s
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- This refers to situations in which the break in addresses from one block face to the next along a street involves house number suffixes. These suffix addresses are not included in MapInfo LION. The "s" flag appears with such records to denote that a suffix exists at either the low or high end of the segment's address range.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
v
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- This is used for "vanity addresses" (i.e. addresses in which the street name refers to a different street than the one on which the referenced building entrance is actually located). For example, 1049 5th Avenue in Manhattan, a vanity address, is actually located on East 86th Street, between 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue.
- Enumerated Domain:
-
- Enumerated Domain Value:
x
- Enumerated Domain Value Definition:
- This is used for names of non-addressable parts of complexes (not the entire complex name itself, which is flagged as type "g"). These are non-addressable place names grouped with other non-addressable place names to form a larger, non-addressable complex. Such non-addressable place name parts of complexes can include individual buildings or parks (e.g., Alice Tully Hall of Lincoln Center, Damrosch Park of Lincoln Center, Jefferson Houses Building 2 of Jefferson Houses, Shepard Hall of City College). Because of restrictions imposed by MapInfo's address matching, the user must include a "0" as a house number to successfully match a non-addressable place name. For example, "0 Alice Tully Hall" will match to the correct side of the street for that location.

- Attribute:
-
- Attribute Label:
SegmentID
- Attribute Definition:
- A number of up to seven digits that identifies each segment of a street or a non-street feature represented in the LION file. Segment-ID differs from the LION Key in that the former identifies a segment, a geographic entity, whereas the latter identifies a record in the LION file. In the case of a segment lying along a borough boundary, say one that lies along the Brooklyn-Queens border, both the Brooklyn and Queens DCPLION files will have a record representing that segment; the LION Keys of those two records are distinct, but the Segment-ID's are identical.
- Attribute:
-
- Attribute Label:
SegCount
- Attribute Definition:
- Coincident Segment Count indicates situations where there are double-decker roads and therefore more than one segment for the same geography in LION. An example would be the upper and lower roadways of the George Washington Bridge. In this case, the SegCount would be = 2. Most LION segments will have a SegCount of 1.

LDynBlock
- Attribute Definition:
- Left Dynamic Block. A dynamic block is a minimal polygon formed by most LION file segments (exceptions include paper streets and alleys). 'Minimal' means the polygon is not subdivided by LION segments (other than the noted exceptions) into smaller polygons. A dynamic block can contain segments of various types in its interior: paper street segments (Feature Type = 5), dead end segments (LocStatus = I), land-hooked segments (LocStatus = H) and alley segments (Feature Type = A). Dynamic block numbers are unique within 2000 Census Tracts and are used as building blocks for many higher geographies.

LLo_Hyphen
- Attribute Definition:
- Low Value for the hyphanated address range beginning on the left side of the street segment. Left and right are defined relative to a street segment's direction. For streets that have addresses, the direction of a DCPLION streeet segment is determined by the direction of increasing address numbers. Note that this direction is unrelated to the street's traffic direction or its orientation relative to the points of the compass. The direction of streets with out address numbers, as well as non-street features, is assigned arbitrarily, but is consistent within the street feature. Direction can usually be determined by observing which way the SeqNum increases. Includes hyphanated addresses.

FromLeft
- Attribute Definition:
- Low Value for the numeric address range beginning on the left side of the street segment. For all hyphanated addresses, the hyphen has been removed. To convert the before hypen portion of the house number is multiplied by 1000 and then added to the after hyphen portion of the house number (e.g. 101-40 would be converted to 101040).
