NYC311 launched just over 19 years ago as a resource for residents to obtain city government information and non-emergency services. Its staffers field calls for information on a variety of topics including how to schedule an appointment for obtaining an IDNYC Municipal ID Card, which was the subject of Nesbeth-Lauderdale’s milestone call.
