311 Reporting

Chief of Operations at 311, Marcellus Walker Jr. discussed the 311 reporting system with ANC6A, reminding residents of the purpose of the system and how it functions. First, Mr. Walker, made clear that 311 does not close out service requests but rather acts as a conduit connecting resident requests with the proper government department or agency. It is the acting department, be it the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), the Department of Public Works (DPW), or otherwise, that has the ability to close out a service request once the actionable item has been addressed. Mr. Walker reiterated that residents may resubmit 311 requests for the same issue if they feel it has not been adequately handled. Residents have a myriad of options to contact 311; they can call “311” or (202)-737-4404, contact through Twitter via @311DCgov or download and use the 311 app on their smartphones found at ouc.dc.gov/page/dc311-mobile-app. 311 is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Thus far this calendar year, Mr. Walker reported ANC6A residents have submitted 4,822 service requests to 311. The top submitted requests are for bulk trash collection, missed trash collection and parking enforcement issues. To learn more about the 311 reporting system or to view open ticket requests, visits 311.dc.gov. All of the following actions were passed unanimously by the Commissioners.
