Half the Council’s Checkable Reports Are Missing or Overdue

The tracker now shows whether each required report actually arrives, matched against the Department of Records’ register. Of the 728 reports created by local laws since 2014 that can be checked, 214 have never been filed once and 143 more are overdue. The status rules follow the method Josh Greenman built for his NYC Overdue Reports tracker.

Source: NYC Open Data, Government Publication - Required Reports (DORIS), matched to the Legislation Implementation Tracker Note: status rules follow Josh Greenman’s NYC Overdue Reports tracker. “On track” combines current and completed reports.

The Department of Education is the standout. 62 of NYCPS’s 67 checkable reports, 93%, are missing or overdue, including the annual co-located schools report required by Local Law 32 of 2014 and never filed once in twelve cycles. NYPD shows the opposite pattern: 27 of its 36 checkable reports are on track.

The register can only check what it lists. The tracker finds 1,543 report obligations in total, so 815 report duties have no DORIS entry to check against, usually because the report goes to the Council rather than being published. A report absent from the register was either never produced or produced and never registered; both are gaps the register exists to catch.

Status definitions: “Never filed” means the DORIS register lists the report but records no filing, ever. “Overdue” means the last filing is older than the report’s stated cadence allows. “On track” combines reports current on their cadence and one-time reports that were completed. The residual group is reports DORIS records as waived by the Report and Advisory Board Review Commission, superseded, or with no schedule to check.

Matching: register entries are joined to tracker obligations by local law number and report title similarity; the join covers 728 of the register’s post-2014 reports. Agencies group through the city’s agency name crosswalk; “No matched agency” rows are obligations whose actor matches no crosswalk agency.
