24 alternatives to NoisyNYC – A data driven approach to measuring noise in NYC
311 is NYC's consolidated line for non-emergency local government services. They'll forward complaints to the correct department, everything from missed trash pickup to apartments without heat or hot water. I was browsing through their data and was surprised to discover that more than a quarter of all complaints -- hundreds of thousands per year -- are noise related. I built NoisyNYC on top of the noise-related data. No plans for commercialization, this is a small side project.

New York City has this cool program that lets anyone report idling commercial vehicles and get a large cut of the fines [1]. It's been in the news recently [2]. I've filed a few reports, and I found the process frustrating and error-prone. The forms are fiddly, there's way too much information that needs to be copied down from the video by hand, you have to use a third-party app to take a timestamped video and a different app to compress it before uploading, and approximately none of it can be done on your phone — the device you probably used to record your video in the first place. I built…
