Monthly building & housing maintenance requests

How many building & housing maintenance 311 requests San Diego residents file each month.

How this category is defined

What counts as building & housing maintenance: Complaints about the physical condition of buildings and housing — blight, code violations, failing plumbing and heat, unsanitary conditions, and property maintenance concerns on both residential and commercial properties.

In San Diego’s raw 311 data, the following 2 service_type values are counted as building & housing maintenance:

  • Development Services - Code Enforcement
  • Environmental Services Code Compliance

To reproduce these counts against the raw feed

SELECT count(*)
FROM <san_diego_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
  'Development Services - Code Enforcement',
  'Environmental Services Code Compliance'
)

Analyst tip: This is where NYC's HPD-style housing complaints live: 'HEAT/HOT WATER', 'PLUMBING', 'PAINT/PLASTER', 'DOOR/WINDOW', 'UNSANITARY CONDITION'. Chicago uses the single catch-all 'Building Violation'. Baton Rouge uses 'BLIGHTED PROPERTIES' and 'BUILDING CODE/ZONING VIOLATIONS'. Expect this category to be large in cities with aggressive code enforcement.
