NYC Bathroom Map

Public restrooms are woefully lacking in New York City. There are only roughly 1,100 public toilets for 8.6 million residents – meaning only one for every 6,000 New Yorkers. We rank 93rd out of the 100 largest U.S. cities in public bathrooms per capita.

This New York City Public Bathrooms Map is a resource for public restrooms furnished by the City. This map indicates 11 public restrooms currently exist in CB6, nine in parks and playgrounds (82%), two in libraries (18%).

Meanwhile, the Got2GoNYC crowdsourced map provides locations of public restrooms near you in addition to accessible bathrooms furnished by private businesses. Manhattan BP Levine has used this map to craft policies with the Mayor to open government building restrooms to the public and to build more bathrooms. CB6 Councilmembers Shahana Hanif (District 39) and Alexa Aviles (District 38) have co-sponsored two bills to open restrooms in public institutions to the public, and to create a long-term strategy in the City Office of the Public Realm to provide more public restrooms.
