NYC311 Customer Insights

1. That means fewer taps and more automated location gathering as soon as a citizen is ready to put in a request.I just tried to enter a no hot water complaint specific to a residential facility's mens room shower; when I tried to enter correct location data, the GPS prompt moved further down the street the other way! Data fields are deliberately vague, & without option to refine a request! There's no excuse in the greater good's sakes for this kind of ineptitude in coding an app! Most pulldowns from a given prompt get nowhere, and logically disable detail entry that would have a plaintiff seeing action.App does not allow u 2 correct their GPS errors on blocked driveway.

2. No point of this app, they are only good for general info but not situations like these.I have tried utilizing this app as an alternative to calling the police or 911 for things like heavily obstructed sidewalks, abandoned vehicles, or pest situations.

3. Neighbors does this at least once or twice a week during night time and all day during daytime, nonstop!! I've also noticed, everytime when I select as a "recurring problem" the response I get is "determined that police action was not necessary".

4. I tried for abt 15 minutes, first to correct the address that populated incorrectly in the app, then to train the GPS to the correct location (backing up or going forward).

5. If an abandoned car is parked under the bridge, how would you put in a service request for that? If the motive is to keep NYC clean and operating, more thought needs to be put in on all the little aspects to help citizens be the eyes and ears of the agencies involved.

6. called 311 and file complaint many times through the app for noise complaint but either they respond hours later or "determined that police action was not necessary".

7. Next door neighbor would start blasting music or playing musical instruments at 1 am in the morning, sometimes after, started at 4 am last night, filed a complaint but nothing happens.

8. Would be great if the police actually response to the complaint.

9. Now it seems half the issues are simply links to other agencies (DOT for potholes, ConEd for steam from a pothole).

10. I wish it would show parking rules for today and tomorrow.The app designer needs to learn a few things about New York City.

11. Your complaint will have the wrong address guaranteed.
