It is advertised more like a city information hotline now, but it was originally designed to take some of the pressure off the 911 line. Every time I've called it, a real person has answered! (I think this was a Bloomberg initiative? My memory is fuzzy). Anyway, you can find out all sorts of things through it, from bus schedules to recycling schedules, and you can file complaints through it, too. Apparently, it is most commonly used by people reporting noise complaints. Sounds like you need somethin’ like our 311 system.
