#194 of 2059 active Homeless Person Assistance approximate blocks citywide by service-request volume
Since August 2021, NYC 311 logged 111 service requests in this approximate-block record and the city closed 77, including 71 with a "nothing found" response. The reporting record remains active. Knowing is not fixing.
What repeated response has cost
~$1.1k-$4.5k
Estimated response labor across 79 deduplicated response-days and response classes. The lower bound assumes one worker for 30 minutes; the planning estimate assumes two workers for one hour.
79 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.

What the record shows: the city closed 77 requests, including 71 with a "nothing found" response. The current reporting episode remains active under the published quiet-window rule. Responding agency on the requests: DHS.
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 2026-09-06. 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.
