Street Maintenance

The Street Maintenance Division repairs and renews a critical part of the city's infrastructure.  We are responsible for pavement maintenance for all public right-of-ways, city-owned parking lots and state highways located within the city.  City crews apply 900 sidewalk patches and repair 800 potholes and 28,000 sq feet of streets and sidewalks throughout the city each year!

To learn more about what we do, please read our FAQs (frequently asked questions).

Potholes are bad for cars. The quicker they are reported, the quicker they are repaired.  Call us at 310.458.4991 or click here to report potholes.

Sidewalks in need of repair
When a damaged sidewalk is reported, city staff will inspect it as soon as possible.  If necessary, a temporary repair (hot patch) will be made and the site will be added to the list for permanent repairs - maybe with Rubber Sidewalks!  Report cracked or broken sidewalks by calling 310.458.8504 or click here.

Weed Abatement
If you have a complaint about a lot or residence that has become overrun with weeds, please report it to us.  City staff will inspect the site and notify the owner of any violations by certified letter. The owner will have a specified time to resolve the problem.  If the owner does not take care of it within the time frame given, the city will hire a private contractor to do the clean up and bill the owner of the property. There are 10-12 city-owned lots and they are surveyed and cleaned every year.  After all, we want to be good neighbors too.  Call 310.458.8504 or click here to report overgrown weeds.
