Your neighbors are really calling 311 about a lot.

Look— Dallas on the wire, big hat, bigger story. You know how every time you drive through Oak Cliff or Pleasant Grove, you see something that just makes you scratch your head? Maybe it’s a pile of junk, or a rundown rental that needs some love. Well, it turns out y'all are actually doing something about it.

The city's 311 service request data shows a *massive* number of calls about "Code Concern - CCS." We're talking 31,252 requests. That's not just a lot, that's almost every other type of complaint combined, and then some. It tells me that folks across Dallas are really keeping an eye on their neighborhoods and making sure standards are upheld, especially around property maintenance. It’s what keeps our streets looking good, keeps our property values steady, and honestly, makes a neighborhood feel cared for.

Then, check this out: "Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS" had 1,396 requests. That's folks trying to make sure their landlords are playing by the rules, especially with all the new folks moving to town and the housing market going wild. It means residents are holding property owners accountable, making sure these rentals are actually safe and up to code for families.

This kind of civic engagement, even if it's just a quick call to 311, shows how much Dallasites care about their blocks. Keep those calls coming, y'all. It makes a difference.
