Monthly animals & pests requests
How many animals & pests 311 requests Los Angeles residents file each month.
How this category is defined
What counts as animals & pests: Complaints about loose, injured, or dead animals on public property; dog bites; wildlife concerns (coyotes, raccoons); and rodent or pest sightings.
In Los Angeles’s raw 311 data, the following 5 service_type values are counted as animals & pests:
- Animal Complaint/Violation
- Animal Confined
- Animal Loose
- Dead Animal Removal
- Nuisance Barking Dogs
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <los_angeles_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Animal Complaint/Violation',
'Animal Confined',
'Animal Loose',
'Dead Animal Removal',
'Nuisance Barking Dogs'
)Analyst tip: Austin prefixes everything 'Animal Protection - ...'. Calgary uses 'AS -' for animal services and also files rodent calls under 'Parks - Wildlife Management'. NYC does not currently have a dedicated animal service_type in our mapping — rodent and wildlife complaints land under building or street categories in that city.
