Non-emergency City Services
Have a complaint, concern, or request for a City service?
You can place a request for non-emergency city services calling 3-1-1 or by visiting the 311.Chicago.gov website. We recommend the CHI 311 Mobile App if you have a compatible device.
When you place a request, be prepared to give information like the exact address for service. You can also submit photos and a description of the issue. Depending on the type of request, you may be prompted to answer other specific questions.
Common Service Requests
- Rodent Baiting/Rat Complaint
- Garbage Cart Maintenance
- Pothole in Street Complaint
- Street Light Out Complaint
- E-Scooter Parking Complaint
Status Updates on Submitted Requests
If you provide contact information when you submit your request online or via the app, you will receive text and/or email updates on the status of your request. You will also be given a service request (SR) number that you can use to track your request.
From time-to-time, a request may be marked as completed even though the issue is not resolved or something might not be completed within the estimated time frame. In such events, please feel free to contact our office so we can check out the status of your request and the timeline for completion.
