Service Inquiries complaints
311 service inquiries complaints across 18 tracked cities. Ranked by complaints per 100,000 residents.

How to find this data
Chicago's '311 INFORMATION ONLY CALL' is the single largest contributor — roughly 1 million rows. Edmonton files informational contacts under 'General Information', 'General Inquiry', 'Routes and Schedules', 'Tax Account - Inquiries/Requests', and related types. Baltimore uses 'ECC-Information Request'. Somerville logs them as 'Information - Various Other', 'Information - Parking', and 'Information - DPW'. Philadelphia uses 'Information Request' with descriptive subtypes. Calgary uses department-prefixed inquiry types (AT - Property Tax, CT - Bus Route, etc.). Not all cities publish this category — cities that only log actionable service requests will show zero rows here.
