The dataset comes from CouncilStat, which is used by many
NYC Council district offices to enter and track constituent cases that can
range from issues around affordable housing, to potholes and pedestrian safety.
This dataset aggregates the information that individual staff have input.
However, district staffs handle a wide range of complex issues. Each offices
uses the program differently, and thus records cases, differently and so
comparisons between accounts may be difficult. Not all offices use the program.
