Neighborhood request

Braeswood: 99 service requests past the City's deadline

To: Council Member Martha Castex-Tatum, District K
From: Neighbors of Braeswood

Dear Council Member Martha Castex-Tatum,

We are residents of Braeswood in District K. As of Sep 27, 2026, 99 City service requests in our neighborhood are open past the City's own deadline, and 34 have waited more than a year. From Aug 2024 to Aug 2025, the City missed its deadline on 33% of requests here (about 33% would be typical for this mix of problems).

Neighbors voted on what matters most:

Near the 2,400 block. 7 open, 6 past deadline, oldest waiting 3.0 years.
02
