service requests in the current reporting episode since April 6, 2026
This is continuous reporting activity, not proof that one tent remained for 150 days.
#674 of 1404 active Encampment approximate blocks citywide by service-request volume
Since October 2021, NYC 311 logged 21 service requests in this approximate-block record and the city closed 21, including 16 with a "nothing found" response. The reporting record remains active. Knowing is not fixing.
What repeated response has cost
~$211-$845
Estimated response labor across 15 deduplicated response-days and response classes. The lower bound assumes one worker for 30 minutes; the planning estimate assumes two workers for one hour.
15 units × $28.16/hour × 0.5-2 worker-hours
Not an audited bill. This deliberately excludes 311 intake, vehicles, supervision, contractor overhead, cleanup, shelter, and medical care because the location record does not support assigning those costs. Wage reference: NYPD published starting salary.
1 schools within 500 feet
Nearby schools make clear pedestrian access and coordinated services important. Proximity does not establish current presence or harm; ask the responsible agencies to check the condition and document follow-up.

These are literal straight-line distances from the approximate issue location, not a claim that any person caused harm. Counts come from the citywide NYC Planning Facilities Database and are computed the same way for every issue.

Also nearby: 1 childcare/pre-K facility within 500 feet.
Clear the sidewalk obstruction. NYC Admin Code §16-122 and §19-136 give the city clear authority to act on persistent sidewalk obstructions.
Treat the school approach as urgent. The NYC Facilities Database places 1 K-12 school within 500 feet, the nearest about 419 feet away. Please check pedestrian access on these school approaches, offer appropriate outreach, and document the result.
Connect these neighbors to services. File this location as an outreach request to DHS so the people here are offered shelter and help. Clearing without serving just moves the problem.
Require a durable, written response plan: named agency ownership, repeated outreach, a clear pedestrian route, and a dated follow-up inspection. Closing a ticket is not the same as fixing the problem.
The city closed 16 of these reports saying nothing was found.

How we define this spot
A report is one NYC 311 service-request record. For configured campaign addresses, positive agency observations and outreach contacts anchor occupation support. The continuity window is four times that address's median gap between all report days after support begins, bounded to 30-60 days; a longer gap between supporting observations creates an interruption candidate. A gap becomes a likely interruption only when it is at least twice the window, or at least 1.5 times the window and contains a negative-only inspection. Same-day positive and negative inspections remain visible as conflicts. The 0-100 confidence result weights report frequency, supported span, recency, and consistency. It is an evidence index, not a probability, proof of one unchanged object, or proof of cleanup. Other map locations still use the broader reporting-episode method.
Built from New York City's own 311 open data (dataset erm2-nwe9), current through 2026-09-03. This page documents a government's response to a public-safety obstruction. It is not about, and does not identify, any individual experiencing homelessness. They are failed by this inaction, not the cause of it.
