Deputy Commissioner AnnMarie Santiago provides reasons for the increase in heat violations, attributing it to improved staffing and quicker response times.
- Increased staff and faster response times are cited as main factors
- The management report shows quicker responses to all types of complaints, not just heat-related issues
- Council Member Sanchez jokingly suggests it's the department's 'fault' for being more efficient

Thank you, council member.

Again, in looking at this, because there was also an increase in the previous fiscal year to 23, we believe that a lot of it is accounted for by an increase in staff.

And a quicker response time.

The management and possible should show that we are responding more quickly, not just to heat, but to all types of complaints.
1:09:12
So that may account for some certainly some of the increase.
