Neighborhood request

Greater OST / South Union: 183 service requests past the City's deadline

To: Council Member Carolyn Evans-Shabazz, District D
From: Neighbors of Greater OST / South Union

Dear Council Member Carolyn Evans-Shabazz,

We are residents of Greater OST / South Union in District D. As of Sep 27, 2026, 183 City service requests in our neighborhood are open past the City's own deadline, and 43 have waited more than a year. From Aug 2024 to Aug 2025, the City missed its deadline on 41% of requests here (about 35% would be typical for this mix of problems).

Neighbors voted on what matters most:
