Summary

NYC 311 open data for 2019_Q4 contain a total of 515,723 service requests, consisting of 94,256 requests from the Bronx, 155,859 requests from Brooklyn, 115,865 requests from Manhattan, 124,780 requests from Queens, and 22,397 requests from Staten Island. The three most common complaint types were: Heat/Hot Water (n=81,504), Noise - Residential (n=55,787), and Illegal Parking (n=49,416). City agencies with the highest number of service request assignments were: NYPD (n=195,561), HPD (n=116,236), and DOT (n=60,073). Unlike data from previous past quarters, data for 2019_Q4 (as downloaded on 1/04/2020) include due dates for only 0.87% of service requests, so the proportion that were closed on time cannot be calculated.
