I came across this tool while perusing the Mission Loc@l site out of the Berkeley J School. I thought it pretty cool, and definitely worth sharing.

SeeClickFix allows community members to report non-emergency issues around their neighborhoods. The web site maps them, then alerts government, community groups and media so they can help address the problems.

Given the recent blustering weather, I started with a map to track heat and hot water violations, but these maps can address all kinds of issues–abandoned cars under the Gowanus Expressway, cracks in the sidewalk, dangerous corners…you name it. Got an issue you want to submit to a virtual neighborhood watch? Give a holler. We’ll put it on the map.
