Report Potholes On Your Block: Only Takes A Few Seconds

Potholes pose a risk to your vehicle's condition and can be dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians as well.

How to Report a Pothole in Chicago

The City of Chicago makes it easy to report street issues including potholes, cave-ins, and crumbling pavement. Your report goes directly to the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT), which is responsible for street maintenance.

You Can Also Call 311

If you prefer to report by phone, simply call 311 from anywhere in Chicago. A representative will take your report and submit a service request. You can also track the status of your request online at 311.chicago.gov.

Every report matters. The more residents report potholes in their neighborhoods, the faster the city can prioritize repairs. It only takes a few seconds — and it makes a real difference for everyone who uses our streets.
