How many parking 311 requests Buffalo residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as parking: Enforcement complaints about illegally parked vehicles, blocked driveways, parking meter issues, and parking-sign maintenance. Distinct from `abandoned_vehicles`, which is about long-term neglect rather than enforcement.

In Buffalo’s raw 311 data, the following 1 service_type are counted as parking:

  • General Parking Issue(s)

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <buffalo_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'General Parking Issue(s)'
)

Analyst tip: Austin prefixes with 'TPW - Parking' (Transportation and Public Works). NYC uses 'Blocked Driveway' and 'Illegal Parking'. LA has a broad 'Parking Issues' plus 'Dockless Mobility Enforcement' for scooter parking. Oakland simply uses 'PARKING'. Note: abandoned vehicles are a SEPARATE category in this dataset.
