How many sidewalks 311 requests New York City residents file each month.
How this category is defined
What counts as sidewalks: Sidewalk repair and obstruction complaints, curb damage, and sidewalk snow-and-ice clearance concerns.
In New York City’s raw 311 data, the following 3 service_type values are counted as sidewalks:
- Root/Sewer/Sidewalk Condition
- Sidewalk Condition
- Snow or Ice
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <new_york_city_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Root/Sewer/Sidewalk Condition',
'Sidewalk Condition',
'Snow or Ice'
)Analyst tip: Austin uses 'TPW - Sidewalk Repair' and 'TPW - Obstruction in Right of Way'. Calgary's sidewalk-snow-and-ice calls come in under 'Bylaw - Snow and Ice on Sidewalk' (separate from the equivalent roadway category). LA splits this across 'Curb Issues', 'Obstructions', and 'Report a Sidewalk Problem'.
