'Can I claim my dog as a dependent on my taxes', 'I'd like to file a noise complaint against my refrigerator' New York marks two decades of city's 311 non-emergency number by releasing some memorable calls
New York City officials mark two decades of the city's 311 nonemergency answering system by releasing a top-20 list of those and other memorable calls.
New York's non-emergency hotline is largely intended for noise complaints, rat sightings and enquiries about much-loathed alternate side parking rules. But the 311 number has, in its 20 years in operation, also received its fair share of obscure enquiries that operators may have struggled to answer, the city has revealed.
"Can you tell me the steps for boiling a live chicken?" one caller asked, according to a list released on Thursday to mark the service's 20-year history."Can you transfer me to a ufo-ologist?" was another request. One caller wanted to know who won TV talent show American Idol while another informed the city that "a goat is tied to the stairwell in my building."Other questions and complaints operators struggled to answer included someone asking if he could file a noise complaint against his refrigerator, and another asking if someone could spray the tree so leaves stop falling.
