Description
FOURTH TIME REPORTING THIS ISSUE.
Buildings and Streets -- asphalt crew is providing you with incorrect information. This pothole has not been touched, ever, since initially reported on February 27, 2018. The only thing that was done is the cover was replaced, WITHOUT the collar that brings it up to road grade.
February 27, 2018 -- https://seeclickfix.com/issues/4176837
Closed by Buildings and Streets-Cynthia (Verified Official) March 20, 2018 because "The pothole was filled by the asphalt crew."
The pothole WAS NOT filled by asphalt crew, so a new ticket was created on March 19, 2018 -- https://seeclickfix.com/issues/4250279. Acknowledged on March 20 with boiler plate text, no further action taken.
A THIRD ticket created on April 12, 2018 -- https://seeclickfix.com/issues/4329989
NUMEROUS citizens commented about this same pothole, the one reported in February. Acknowledged with boiler plate text on April 24 and then CLOSED, that's right, closed on April 25, 2018 by Buildings and Streets-Cynthia (Verified Official) with the same
false claim that "The pothole was filled by the asphalt crew"
communipaw123 (Registered User) should sue the city for the car repair because had the pothole been fixed on March 19, like buildings and streets falsely said it was, their tire would have never blown out.
DO NOT CLOSE THIS TICKET UNLESS YOU VERIFY WITH YOUR OWN EYES THAT THE POTHOLE WAS INDEED FILLED.

The previous ticket for this pothole was closed yesterday stating it had been filled- and yes this did blow out my tire. I have to drive this way daily to get to work from my home on Communipaw.
It really can't wrap my head around why this is SO difficult to get fixed and why the tickets keep getting closed when nothing has been done.
FYI- I would have gone after the city for my tire, but thankfully I did purchase tire coverage- but it still doesn't change the fact that I have to take time off of work to go and get it repaired/fixed.
Jersey City is TERRIBLE with potholes- the GIANT one at the intersection of Grand and Pacific is another great example- MULTIPLE tickets and STILL isn't fixed.
Do better.

Thank you for your request. Potholes referred to the Division are normally processed within 48 hours.
Sinkholes will be referred to the appropriate utility agency for inspection and repair.
Please note that potholes cannot be repaired on days with heavy rain because the moisture will prevent asphalt from bonding with the existing pavement.
