CallNYC is a 2016 civic-data archive
Jamie Burkart built CallNYC in a 24-hour sprint from NYC Council’s daily, anonymized CouncilStat data. This preserves the experiment.
NYC Open Data labels Council casework through early 2025 as historical. A 2026 Council posting names Council Connect as its Council-wide constituent-service database; our Aug. 13, 2026 catalog check found no current export comparable to NYC’s daily 311 feed. Rankings are historical.
