816 New York
816 New York looks up any New York City address and shows what the Department of Buildings, HPD and 311 have on record for that building. Every record carries the date it was last checked, and when a check has not succeeded in three days the record says so rather than showing old numbers as current.
Why it earned its spot
The wordmark is a blue-bordered plaque reading 816, set on a bone-colored page like an enamelled address plate on a brownstone — the site’s own explanation for why it looks this way. A heavy grotesque headline sits above a search field ringed in thick cobalt, by some margin the loudest object on the page; everything after it steps down in weight, from borough cards to three cards on what a record contains to a plain paragraph naming each dataset and how often the city publishes it. Ending on method rather than a call to action is the right note for an independent public-records reference.

cancompost answers whether 400-odd everyday items belong in a compost pile — eggshells, k-cups, dog poop, compostable bags. Each item is rated separately against six systems, from a cold backyard heap to bokashi to municipal curbside, because the honest answer changes with the bin.
BeachWaterTemp gives live and typical water temperatures for 221 US swim beaches, for anyone deciding whether to get in. Every reading names the NOAA station it came from and how far that station sits from the sand, rather than implying it was measured at the beach itself.
iFixCodes explains what HTTP status codes and WordPress errors mean and how to fix them, in words a site owner would use. The domain was a WordPress repair shop until it lapsed; the publisher who took it over keeps the old shop's plugin pages at their original URLs but retired its donation page.
The Safety Almanac dates every safety awareness day, week and month in the world, and ties each one to the injury it exists to prevent. A date is marked confirmed only once someone has read the organiser's own page and logged the day they read it; the rest are openly flagged as inferred.
