My Oceanside routes common city service requests
Oceanside residents can use the My Oceanside app, web tool, email, or Customer Care phone line for many city service requests, including potholes, litter, graffiti, and streetlights.
Oceanside’s My Oceanside app is a practical first stop for many regular city service requests. It fits items that need a location and a short note. Think pothole repairs, litter, graffiti, streetlight issues, and other everyday concerns.
Requests through the app go to the right department for tracking and handling. You can also use the web version, email Customer Care, or call the Customer Care Center during posted business hours.
That range of options helps in a city with beach areas, a harbor, older inland blocks, busy shopping streets, and newer hillside roads. The more exact the location, the better. A beach access point, street corner, park name, or nearby landmark can save time.
For a simple request, send the closest address or cross street. Add a short note. Add a photo if the issue is visible. If the problem is about police, fire, permits, utility billing, or a private service provider, follow that more exact route instead.
