Trying to convert a .csv with XY coordinates to .tiff raster

[AlexanderZirilli]

I wish to take a .csv with lat long values for "fish catches" and rasterize the values to a .tiff for the sake of displaying the different concentration levels of the "Total_PCB" column. I created a function to calculate the latitude of each catch, based on the reference point given in the dataset, the NYC battery (-74.015700, 40.703160) (GCS_WGS_1984 for all points) and the "river mile" column giving exactly how many miles upstream from the battery this catch was. I want to create a raster that symbolizes the "Total_PCB" , perhaps as a choropleth. Right now I have the code listed below, but yield

ERROR 000055: Cannot create a Query Table for this workspace

Have you missed the full filepath to your CSV? 'in_csv'

Added file paths, AND r" ", but still get the same error, at line 15 instead of line 7 this time. Some other solutions online suggest pandas?
