Opening Remarks: Martha Norrick

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Welcome remarks outline concrete civic work: the Office of Data Analytics (established 2012) uses Python and R and open-source tooling to run predictive models that prioritize scarce inspections — flagging buildings for likely tenant harassment, elevated fire risk, or future rat complaints — and powers NYC Open Data under the open data law (2012). Numbers given are program dates and common use cases rather than abstractions; invitations include an open call for Open Data Week proposals and opportunities to apply these skills in public service or volunteer projects.
