You won't believe how many code complaints Dallas got
Look— Dallas on the wire, big hat, bigger story. You know how sometimes you drive through a neighborhood, maybe past a house with high grass or a busted fence, and you just *know* someone's gonna call 311? Well, y'all have been busy. The latest 311 service request data is out, and it's wild.
**What’s Bugging Y'all The Most**
So, the big kahuna here? "Code Concern - CCS." We're talking 30,394 requests. That's not a typo, that's thirty thousand. To put that in perspective, the next highest item, "Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS," was only 1,342 requests. That's a huge gap! It tells me what we already kinda knew: folks care deeply about their neighborhoods, from Pleasant Grove to Preston Hollow. Whether it’s junk in the yard, overgrown lots, or unpermitted work, people are keeping an eye out.
Here’s the breakdown of what really got y'all pickin' up the phone:
* **Code Concern - CCS:** 30,394 requests * **Single Family Rental Needs Registration - CCS:** 1,342 requests * **Consumer Protection Complaint - CCS:** 459 requests
That number for code concerns really jumps out at me. It means a lot of Dallasites are actively participating in keeping our city looking good, or at least meeting basic standards. It's a grassroots effort, plain and simple. What we gotta watch now is how quickly these get resolved. Because making the call is one thing, but seeing action? That's the real test for City Hall.
Dallas on the wire — big hat, bigger story.
