Report Details
AI-generated, reviewed by reporter
A metal catch basin grate at the curb has settled significantly, causing the surrounding asphalt to crack, sink, and crumble into a visible depression with loose chunks scattered on the sidewalk. The grate itself remains intact but the pavement failure around it creates a tripping hazard and suggests the drainage system may not be functioning properly. The catch basin is approximately 91 years old and requires urgent repair.
Description
Large pothole at curb with asphalt actively breaking apart. Storm drain grate is destabilized and at risk of collapsing. Loose asphalt chunks scattered on sidewalk - hazard to pedestrians. Urgent repair needed.
