CleanCorridorsSF is a special operation that deploys a large contingent of San Francisco Public Works street cleaners to a different neighborhood commercial district every Thursday to power wash and sweep the sidewalks, flush down the roadway and wipe out graffiti – a coordinated deep-cleaning blitz resulting in noticeable improvements to the cleanliness of the targeted area.
The Public Works Sidewalk Inspection and Repair Program makes it easier and less expensive for property owners to comply with City and State codes that require them to keep their sidewalks free of defects. The program accomplishes this by coordinating large-scale sidewalk improvements, making the process streamlined and efficient for property owners. Proactive sidewalk inspections of all city sidewalks are on a 25-year cycle to get repairs. That means, every 25 years, all city sidewalks are inspected and repaired as part of the program.
In the July 2017 Committee for Utility Liaison on Construction and Other Projects (CULCOP) meeting, the Committee will discuss issues related to the permitting and construction of Surface-Mounted Facilities (SMFs). Public Works Code Article 27, Section 2730 requires that Public Works convene a meeting once a year with Persons who submitted Applications for SMF Site Permits. Please come to provide an update on technological advancements, graffiti and blight abatement, and community outreach efficacy.
The Monument Preservation Fund maintains the City's existing survey monuments through a long-term plan to inventory, reference and replace lost monuments.
Report a pothole online, use the mobile SF311 app or call 311. Our goal is to repair any pothole that is our responsibility within 72 hours during weekdays. Before you call, please determine the street address and the nearest cross-street where the pothole is located.
San Francisco Public Works’ Community Engagement team is responsible for educating merchants, property owners and residents of their rights and responsibilities regarding street and sidewalk cleanliness. When outreach falls on deaf ears, we enforce government codes to ensure sanitation standards are met to keep our neighborhoods clean, safe and looking good.
