The Verification Gap

If a record is marked “Closed” or “Completed” but has no inspection date, the public cannot verify if SDCI responded, how long it took, or whether a site visit happened at all. This is an evidence integrity problem, not a paperwork problem.

Calculation rules used in this dashboard

  • Complaint = RecordNum ends with -CP.
  • NOV = RecordNum ends with -VI.
  • % NOV per Complaint = NOVs ÷ Complaints.
  • Missing inspection date = No LastInspDate (or “No Inspection Date” flag).
  • Closed/Completed with no inspection date = StatusCurrent is exactly Closed or Completed, and inspection date is missing.
  • Blank RecordTypeDesc = RecordTypeDesc is empty.
  • Emergency = RecordTypeDesc equals Emergency.

How to read the top KPIs

Complaints are demand. NOVs are enforcement. The gap between them is where tenant protection either happens or it doesn’t. Use the filters to compare Citywide vs your district and to isolate 2025.

Why the inspection gap matters evidence integrity

A closure without an inspection date is functionally unverifiable. It may still be legitimate, but the record as published cannot prove it. That is exactly the kind of ambiguity that allows repeat noncompliance to survive.

Closed/Completed with no inspection date

0
These are the “trust me” closures.

Blank RecordTypeDesc

0
Work that can’t be traced to a department or type.
