What does the District Office do?

The CB15 District Office has two primary functions - to process citizen complaints and requests for services, and to provide administrative support for the Community Board. The District Office maintains all the public records of the activities of the Community Board and is responsible for setting up and preparing notices of all Community Board meetings and functions. Additionally. the District Office processes Street Activity Permits for Block Party street closures, requests for Tree Plantings, monitors the delivery of municipal services and, in general, acts as a one stop shopping point for information and referrals pertaining to all City government matters.

Just about any complaint that involves a municipal service can be called in to the District Office. This includes such items as, but is not limited to:

• Reporting a pothole
• A tree that needs pruning
• Missing or damaged signs
• Malfunctioning street light
• Clogged catch basins
• Missed garbage collection

These are some examples of the most common complaints that are called in to the District Office. By acting as the community's eyes and ears and reporting items such as this to the Community Board you will have the satisfaction of having made a positive contribution to improving the quality of life in your neighborhood. A common mistake people make is that they assume that someone else will report a problem; many problems go unreported because of this. You have the power to make a positive change in your community with just one phone call!
