"NA" in Dates Column

[RPavuluri]

I ran the following in RScript:

health_FOIA <- read.socrata("https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/4h87-zdcp.csv").

I then printed health_FOIA$DATE.RECEIVED and got NA for each entry. This is odd because there are dates in the online portal. It is also odd because I don't get NULL, which happens when I print health_FOIA$DATE.RECEIVEDS (incorrect spelling of column heading).

When I print health_FOIA$DESCRIPTION.OF.REQUEST, however, I get a vector populated with the correct information.

I have the same problem with the Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, Chicago Police Board, Fire, Ethics, Law, Human Resources, and Aviation FOIA Logs.

Any thoughts?

I'm having the same issue with the Sanitation data set

sanitationComplaints <- read.socrata("https://data.cityofchicago.org/resource/me59-5fac.csv")
table(is.na(sanitationComplaints$Creation.Date))
# TRUE 
# 95360
