Such report shall be posted on the website of the department of information technology and telecommunications and the 311 customer service center and shall include:

1. Data regarding the updating of complaint types on the 311 customer service center website and mobile device platforms after the enactment of a local law that involves a request for service, including, but not limited to, the number of complaint types that the department of information technology and telecommunications added by such local law’s effective date;

2.
