## Settlement

Why this grade: Complaints, not fireworks: anyone can call 311, and one loud night brings hundreds of calls. Shown, not settled on.
What it costs to move: Cheap in small numbers. A complaint is a phone call or a web form.
When the source is late: A month prints four days after it ends. If 311 posts nothing for the month, it stays open. A month 311 never posts is void.
Precision: Whole complaints of type Illegal Fireworks, by created date, New York time as the city records it.
