San Leandro has a 311-style path for local issues

San Leandro’s MySanLeandro system is the useful first stop for many non-emergency city issues. It works through a mobile app and website, so residents can send a concern without needing to know the exact department name.

Use it for things that are local, visible, and tied to a place. A pothole, graffiti, streetlight issue, sidewalk concern, park problem, or other citywide field issue is much easier to sort when the report includes the address, cross street, photo, and short description.

The city’s Services page is still helpful when the question is not a field report. It points people toward alerts and newsletters, city trees, clerk services, facility reservations, library services, parking and traffic, and other regular city work.

Before submitting, decide whether the issue is urgent. For emergencies, use 911. For a routine city issue, include the location, date, photo if useful, and whether the problem blocks a sidewalk, street, driveway, bus stop, or entrance. That small detail helps staff route the request.
