I just added a colorful feature to my free NYC buildings app: a kind of noiseometer! Each building has one of 10 colors, according to how many 311 Noise complaints were submitted in the last 12 months. There’s also a setting for Heat/Hot Water complaints.

My thought is that this might be useful for someone looking to move in the five boroughs. In any case, this update gives the app some much-needed color!

We'd love to hear from if you're a current or former federal employee, family member, caretaker, were affected by federal funding or hiring freezes, lost a grant or contract or your role because of this, or any other situation.”

Google DocsContribute Your ThoughtsWe continue to hear from the community that you want a safe space to share your opinion and offer your point of view, as well as hear the same from others. Open debate on difficult topics makes us stronger as a community and a field, and we’d like to be a platform for the community to be in conversation with itself on issues that affect us all. In this format, we pose a topic and ask anyone across the community to contribute their thoughts. We collect and publish responses featuring differing perspectives. Submit anywhere from a sentence to a few paragraphs on what you think and why. We'd also love to hear from you regardless of how you've been affected – if you're a current or former federal employee, family member, caretaker, were affected by federal funding or hiring freezes, lost a grant or contract or your role because of this, or any other situation.
