Have a question about city services? Want to register a complaint or report problems the city should address? No need to scroll through long lists of city departments. Just dial 311.

Unlike 911, the 311 number is NOT for emergency situations. But it can be a godsend for getting answers to non-emergency issues. Want to report a giant pothole or graffiti in your alleyway? Find out who to call about poor garbage pickup?

The solution is as simple as those three numbers: “Our mission is to provide residents with an effortless, accessible way to navigate city services,” notes the city website.
