Report & track

How it works

Three steps, and every one of them leaves a public record the whole neighborhood can see.

STEP 1

Report it

Pothole, streetlight, flooding, illegal dumping — pick the category, drop the pin, add photos. Your report goes on the map and into the feed in seconds.

STEP 2

Neighbors verify it

A neighbor confirms it's real with one tap. Verified reports carry weight — they're hand-delivered into the city's 311 system with a tracking number.

STEP 3

Watch the city respond

Every report is tracked against a response target, updates appear on its public thread, and when something gets fixed on time, the whole feed celebrates.

Your privacy

Speak up without fear.

See a problem next door — the blight, the illegal dumping, the code violation? Report it. Your neighbors never see who you are, so the person it's about will never know it was you.

Post anonymously

Share or comment with your name hidden from everyone. Your account quietly stands behind it — but the block never sees who posted.

Report privately

Your neighbors never see who reported. The city does — exactly like a 311 call — so your report still gets taken seriously and acted on.

Real accounts keep the platform honest. Hidden from your neighbors keeps you safe. You get both.

The NOLAServeUS neighborhood feed — posts, reports, and local news in one stream.

More than reports

It's your whole neighborhood

NOLAServeUS isn't just a complaint box. It's the place your block already talks — a real neighborhood feed, plus community rooms where neighbors, orgs, and the district office post directly to the people nearby.

Community rooms

Join your neighborhood and its groups — announcements, polls, and posts from the people right around you.

Neighbor posts

Share what's happening on your block. Neighbors like, comment, and reply — in English, Spanish, or Vietnamese.

Events

Second lines, cleanups, block parties, meetings — see what's coming up nearby and who's going.

Buy, sell & free

A neighborhood marketplace — sell what you don't need, find what you do, or give it away to a neighbor.

Recommendations

Ask the block who's good — plumbers, roofers, sitters — and find trusted pros your neighbors vouch for.

Local news

The stories that actually touch your neighborhood, pulled into the same feed you already check.

Lost & found

A lost pet? The whole block is looking.

New Orleans loves its dogs and cats. Post a lost — or found — pet with a photo and the spot it went missing, and every neighbor nearby sees it right in the feed. No more stapling flyers to poles; the search party is already on your street.

Take care of it yourself

Adopt your block — right from the map

Some things you don't want to wait on the city for. Open the map, find a spot that needs love, and adopt it — a corner, an intersection, a neutral ground, a catch basin. Keep it clean, log your cleanups, and get recognized with a placard on the corner.

1

Find a spot on the map

Open the map and look for the spots that need an adopter — the district flags the worst ones. Or drop your own pin anywhere you want to care for.

2

Tap the pin, adopt the area

Tap a flagged spot and hit “Adopt this area.” Staff approve it, and it goes on the map in gold with your name attached.

3

Keep it up, get recognized

Log each cleanup with a photo. Your work shows in the feed, earns kudos, and — with the council office — a placard with your name on the corner.

The data

The receipts, not the rumors

We analyzed twelve years of the city's own 311 data so New Orleans can see exactly how it's being served — and watch the numbers move.

What we stand for

Four promises to every neighborhood.

Efficiency, accountability, transparency, and real service — not slogans, but how the whole platform is built.

Efficiency

Neighbor-verified, de-duplicated, well-formed reports — one clean request per real problem, not a pile of noise.

Accountability

Every report tracked against a response target, escalated when it's overdue, and measured in public.

Transparency

Every report on a public map, every city update synced back — you watch the response actually happen.

Service

Updates pushed to you, in three languages, and the freedom to report without fear — a neighborhood, not a hold queue.

Why we built this

Made in New Orleans, for New Orleans.

We got tired of watching neighbors file the same 311 complaints for years — the pothole, the dead streetlight, the pile of dumping on the corner — and never hear a word back. So we built the tool we wished existed: every report public, every response on the clock, and a neighborhood that can finally see what's actually getting fixed. We're starting in District E — our own backyard — and growing block by block.
