Data request · Citizen request

number of 311 calls (by complaint type) for community board 1 manhattan from 1/1/8 to present. There doesn't seem a way to sort/visualize by type of complaint to see the number of calls per complaint type. Is the only option to export and do the math on your own? number of calls per complaint type

Hi, There is certainly data visualization capability on the portal. Here is a help page that will show you how to access the portals new visualization feature: https://support.socrata.com/hc/en-us/articles/1150... Upon receiving your inquiry I attempted to create a visualization on 311's 2008 data found here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Social-Services/311-... . I would like to advise on three things: One, please understand that 2008-2009 data can be found in separate data sets. The only 311 compliant data that spans different years can be found from 2010-Present here: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Social-Services/311-... Two, Please have a plan on how you would like to filter down on what you are looking for. This data is massive with millions of rows and may require significant time to render a visualization even if it is just to make a small change. Three, please be advised that there many complaint categories. It may be helpful to just select a handful that are relevant to what you are trying to convey. When trying to visualize the amount of complaints for every complaint type in 2008 data, my bar chart was practically illegible Hope this helps.
