The New York City Council has started to keep tabs on constituent complaints across the city. A limited view of the data for June was released yesterday. You can download a PDF of the press release here. While the Council is not releasing specific data on the number of bed bug complaints in relation to other issues New Yorkers contacted their Council Members about(*) in June, the Housing and Building category is at the top of the list citywide, accounting for 29% of inquiries. The breakdown for Housing and Building complaints in each borough is: 29% in the Bronx, 24% in Brooklyn, 32% in Manhattan, 16% in Queens and 24% in Staten Island. Queens is apparently the shiest when it comes to calling Council Members with housing grievances.
