"From Jan. 1 through March 12, New Yorkers filed 15,535 pothole-related service requests, up from 9,182 during the same period last year. After 3,205 requests in January and 4,718 in February, the city logged 7,612 requests through March 12 alone. Daily pothole complaints hit 888 on March 6, 864 on March 9, 946 on March 10, and 967 on March 11."
"Queens accounted for by far the largest share of complaints, with 7,015 requests during the period, or about 45% of the citywide total. Brooklyn had 2,881 complaints, followed by Staten Island with 1,944, Manhattan with 1,906 and the Bronx with 1,712."
"City officials said DOT crews have repaired more than 50,000 potholes since Jan. 1 and are averaging a response time of just over two days. The 311 data shows most reported pothole cases were closed quickly: the median closure time was less than a day, and more than 80% of closed requests were resolved within two days."
New York City is launching a five-borough pothole repair blitz on Saturday with more than 80 Department of Transportation crews beginning work at 6 a.m. The initiative follows a sharp increase in pothole complaints, with 15,535 service requests filed from January 1 through March 12, compared to 9,182 during the same period last year. Queens reported the most complaints at 7,015, followed by Brooklyn, Staten Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx. City officials report DOT crews have already repaired over 50,000 potholes since January 1, with an average response time of just over two days. Additional repair blitzes are planned for coming weeks.
