New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 0:05:27 · 37 sec

Dinowitz lists potholes, running hydrants, broken street lamps, flooded homes, and broken park fences as unresolved issues, arguing 311 needs improvement to address safety and dignity.

Eric Dinowitz

And quality of life speaks to our ability to live with safety and with dignity in our own city.

Streets.

Eric Dinowitz

Rife with potholes, hydrants that are running and wasting water, darkened streets due to broken street lamps, flooded homes due to blocked sewer lines, broken fences in our parks.

Eric Dinowitz

Some of the quality of life issues that were not addressed do impact that safety and quality of life and dignity that we cherish so much.

Eric Dinowitz

Here in New York City, of course, we have 311, a system through which New Yorkers can report and address our quality of life concerns.

Eric Dinowitz

But we know 311 is in need of improvement.
