Resident urges QR-code 311 reporting after repeated curb flooding

A resident told the Community Board 9 sanitation committee that a curb redesign intended for ADA access changed the curb grading and left the block more prone to flooding, saying, "I'm blaming that the city's flooding on at least 70% of this redesign. That's my opinion." The speaker said debris and abandoned cars prevent street sweepers from clearing the single storm inlet on the block.

The resident requested a QR code residents could post on doorways and lampposts that links directly to the city’s reporting tool so neighbors can file 311 reports quickly when drains are clogged. Committee members described existing options (311 phone or app) and offered to coordinate block-level inspections; one member offered to walk the block with the resident and follow up with the district office.

No formal action was taken; the committee suggested collecting photos and 311 tickets to document recurring problems and asked staff and Eric to help follow up with the district and sanitation staff.
