Calls to 311 by department, Q1 2015
This is basically a repeat of call frequency by department. Does it mean anything that calls directed to HPD went up from 33.3% for all of 2014 to nearly 41% in the first quarter of 2015? Have to drill deeper, within a department, to get more on why and how, but I’d speculate winter might have something to do with it – calls about heat for one?
| Total number of calls to 311 in 1st Quarter of 2015 | 543,823 | |
| HPD (Housing Preservation and Development) | 222,569 | 40.9% |
| DOT (Department of Transportation) | 94,014 | 17.3% |
| NYPD (Department of Don’t Mess With Us) | 66,331 | 12.2% |
| DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) | 44,373 | 8.2% |
| DSNY (Department of Sanitation) | 41,724 | 7.7% |
| DOB (Department of Buildings) | 17,683 | 3.3% |
| 89.5% |
And then there is the DOB, dropping from 4+ percent of the total in 2014 to 3.3% in Q1 2015. Need to drill deeper to see why it dropped noticeably.
