What would they do about that? Isn't a hallway indoors and private property. The boys smoking pot outside, like a different poster said, I understand, but why for this?

forgot to point out that I live in an apartment building- it's considered public area.
They contacted the landlord...to make a long story short, the neighbor moved out.

I called 311 for a driver driving very fast the wrong way up a one-way street.

I called 911 for a truck in front of us that dropped part of the load it was carrying on the road. It was dangerous for traffic.

Also 911 for a car that swerved off the road and it looked like the driver was sleeping. In case it was a heart attack.

All 3 times they thanked me for calling. My husband is very into calling when you see something dangerous - we're always surprised that other people haven't called.

I called to report an elderly woman who was topless in the bank. While I was on the line she put a shirt on and walked across the street - straight through traffic - into a pharmacy, so the 311 rep said the pharmacist would take care of it and make a report if necessary.

Building next to my work that had a persistent (days/weeks) very strong bathroom odor coming out of it covering the whole surrounding sidewalk.

Complaint about a certain city agency that was impossible to reach in any way despite having sent me a letter threatening a certain action if I didn't contact them soon.

I've called a couple times to find out if a certain library was open or about alternate side.

I called twice to complain. Once about a neighbor who was smoking into the shaft that went into my window and they said they can't do anything about it.
The second time was to complain at 1230am about loud driling from the street next to me. They asked me so many strange questions by the time I was done they had finished drilling.

To find out about alternate side of the street parking and if you have to pay meters.
To report a broken traffic light.
To report a hydrant that was leaking during the winter and causing the street to be covered with ice
