The size and responsiveness of the 311 dataset cause complaints, and the Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI) seeks to improve its performance.

  • The 311 dataset is large and can be difficult to work with, leading to sluggish website performance.
  • The dataset is popular and used as an example in open data ambassadors training.
  • It is constantly growing, now containing over a million rows.
  • OTI is actively looking for ways to enhance the dataset's performance on the website to reduce user frustration.
