I've reported more than 5000 things to 311 since it started in 2013 or so. I had to change accounts more than once because their database wouldn't load my history properly and the app would crash or lock up.

Some of that was in bursts of hundreds at a time using notes from street investigation.

I am popular and my wife never tried to send me to Bellevue.

Do you have any idea about what percentage of that stuff ever got fixed?

About 70%? Lots of it was vacant lot cleanups and vacant lot licenses/vacant property licenses and complaints.

That's a far higher average than I would have expected. I've really only ever reported abandoned cars with it, and it's taken so long to get them removed that it may just be a coincidence when they do disappear.

Bando cars are probably the thing 311 does the worst. Of course, it's because the police are lazy and they're too busy delivering faxes
