People in this story

Need to report something related to city services but don’t know who to call? There’s an app, a hotline, and a website for that. And if you’re really in a rush, you can even send out a message via X, formerly known as Twitter.

311 is Boston’s around-the-clock constituent services line that allows people to report non-emergent issues. Think: graffiti removal, broken traffic signals, tree planting, pest control, and more. The center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year, according to their website.
