Hi all,
    Please consider the following:

DataSet1.. <-
data
.frame(Bldgtype=c("SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","APT"),
Taz=c("254","254","254","564","564","564","564"),stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
PeriodResType_Zx <- tapply(as.character(DataSet1..$Bldgtype),
as.character(DataSet1..$Taz), table)
PeriodResType_Zx

$`254`

SFDM
  3

$`564`

APT SFDM
  1    3

DataSet2.. <-
data.frame(Bldgtype=c("SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM"),
Taz=c("254","245","564","564","564","564"))
PeriodResType_Zx <- tapply(DataSet2..$Bldgtype, DataSet2..$Taz, table)
PeriodResType_Zx

Data set 1 returns the desired outcome, an array with elements consisting of
a labeled table

Data set 2 returns an array without the table labeled.

This is occuring becuase there are not a variety of Bldgtypes in data set two, but this is a reality of the data so how can i get the data into the same format, with a Bldgtype descriptor in the array like the Data set 1
result?

You do not actually say what sort of output you want (other than by analogybut try using this as the first column in your data.frame call:

Bldgtype =factor(c("SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM","SFDM") ,levels=c("SFDM", "APT"))
