service requests in the current reporting episode since June 4, 2026

This is continuous reporting activity, not proof that one tent remained for 68 days.

#1261 of 2059 active Homeless Person Assistance approximate blocks citywide by service-request volume
Since February 2023, NYC 311 logged 12 service requests in this approximate-block record and the city closed 6, including 8 with a "nothing found" response. The reporting record remains active. Knowing is not fixing.

What repeated response has cost

~$141-$563

Estimated response labor across 10 deduplicated response-days and response classes. The lower bound assumes one worker for 30 minutes; the planning estimate assumes two workers for one hour.

10 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.

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 2026-08-11.
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.
