The 311 phone service was actually pioneered by Baltimore, not NYC, starting back in 1996.

Well, NYC has the first 311 app[1] that I'm aware of, so that's pretty cool.

The app that Detroit was built on, SeeClickFix, came years before the NYC app and has the added benefit of displaying all other existing open issues. Detroit and SeeClickFix also support the Federal Open Data Standard, Open311 which is groundbreaking in itself.
