Got issues? Use the 311 App
The 311 Constituent Service Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. Just download the app or dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency city issues like missed trash pickup or if you want to get rid of that old giant TV console in your basement. You can even report that Vermont plate that’s been parking on your block during resident-only hours taking up valuable parking real estate. Not on your watch! For more information visit here!
Hunt + Gather
The Savin Hill Neighborhood will be hosting a yard sale on Saturday, September 6th from 9am-2pm with a rain date of Saturday, September 13th. You know the old saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Plan to hunt and gather your way through the neighborhood and expect anything from vintage tableware, furniture, books, sporting equipment, artwork and more. You never know what you’ll find but it might exactly what you are looking for! Bring cash – most sellers are cash only!
