What can be done about the street vendors?
Please do the following:
-
Report street vendors that are blocking intersections, double parked, or idling for a long time by using the 311 App or website. (Of course, if the situation is dangerous, dial 911.)
-
Tweet/X a photo with the hashtags #dumbotraffic and #welivehere. You can also tag:
-
Report Quality of Life issues from your phone using the NYC 311 app
-
Download "Timestamp Camera Basic" - It will use your camera to add visual timestamps
-
Download "NYC 311"​
-
When you see an issue, like illegal parking, take a photo using the Timestamp app. Then use the NYC 311 app to submit a new request and attach the photo of the issue. Provide contact info and you will get a text and an email acknowledging your submission. When the issue is closed, you will get another update. If this is a recurring issue, do not hesitate to submit a request every time you encounter it. The more complaints submitted, the more incentive the NYPD or NYC agency will have to solve the problem.​​
