The New York City Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI), formerly known as the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT), is the department of the government of New York City[1] that oversees the City's "use of existing and emerging technologies in government operations, and its delivery of services to the public".[2] Although the agency's primary purpose is to facilitate the technology needs of other New York City agencies, the department is best known by city residents for running the city's 311 "citizens' hotline," established in 2003. Its regulations are compiled in title 67 of the New York City Rules.

In 2022, DoITT was renamed the Office of Technology and Innovation as part of a process that consolidated the former Mayor's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (NYC CTO), NYC Cyber Command (NYC3), the Mayor's Office of Data Analytics (MODA), the Mayor's Office of Information Privacy (MOIP), and staff from the office of the Algorithms Management and Policy Officer (AMPO) into a single department under unified leadership.[3]
