Your neighbors are really calling 311 about what
Look— Dallas on the wire, big hat, bigger story. You know how sometimes you call 311 about a streetlight out, or maybe a pothole that's swallowed a small car? Well, the latest city data on service requests just dropped, and what Dallasites are *really* dialing in about might surprise you.
The biggest issue, by a mile, is "Code Concern - CCS" with a staggering 28,796 requests. That's almost 29,000 calls about everything from overgrown weeds in someone's yard to trash piled up where it shouldn't be. My *mamá* always says, "Si no te gusta, haz un cambio," and it seems y'all are taking that to heart, making sure our neighborhoods stay up to snuff.
The next biggest item? "Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS" at 1,288 requests. Remember those new rules about registering rental properties? Folks are definitely paying attention and making sure landlords are playing by the book. It's clear people care about the look and feel of their blocks, from Pleasant Grove to the Bishop Arts District.
* **Top Request:** Code Concern - CCS (28,796 requests)
* **Next Up:** Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS (1,288 requests)
* **Also Noteworthy:** Consumer Protection Complaint - CCS (420 requests)
What this tells me is that Dallas residents aren't just letting things slide. They’re using the tools the city gives them to keep our communities strong and accountable. Keep an eye on how the city responds to this massive volume of code concerns — that's where the rubber meets the road.
