Neighborhood request

Second Ward: 107 service requests past the City's deadline

To
Council Member Mario Castillo, District H
From
Neighbors of Second Ward

Dear Council Member Mario Castillo,

We are residents of Second Ward in District H. As of Sep 27, 2026, 107 City service requests in our neighborhood are open past the City's own deadline, and 40 have waited more than a year. From Aug 2024 to Aug 2025, the City missed its deadline on 34% of requests here (about 33% would be typical for this mix of problems).

Neighbors voted on what matters most:

  1. 01

    Navigation Blvd · Water leaks & sewer

    Near the 5,700 block. 6 open, 6 past deadline, oldest waiting 3.2 years.

  2. 02

    Sherman St · Water leaks & sewer

    Near the 4,800 block. 5 open, 5 past deadline, oldest waiting 3.1 years.

  3. 03

    Sherman St · Trees & storm limbs

    Near the 6,300 block. 8 open, 5 past deadline, oldest waiting 2.6 years.

  4. 04

    Garrow St · Trees & storm limbs

    Near the 3,000 block. 6 open, 5 past deadline, oldest waiting 2.4 years.

  5. 05

    Canal St · Water leaks & sewer

    Near the 4,700 block. 5 open, 5 past deadline, oldest waiting 2.4 years.

We ask your office to request a status and timeline from the responsible departments for these items, starting with those past deadline, and to share the response with our Super Neighborhood.
