Social Distancing Complaints in NYC

Complaints via 311 in NYC for individuals not social distancing. Data doesn’t indicate if people aren’t wearing masks, or keeping 6ft.

There are a couple things to note about this analysis:

1. Data collection – As per NYC 311 website there could be delays in reporting data. This could skew the data.
2. Time period/Data completeness – At time of the data was extracted June was only 1/2 of a full month.
3. Complainers – Do certain zip codes, or Boroughs complain more?
