SeeClickFix
by Mountain Girl ~ August 18th, 2008. Filed under: Community, Crime, Litter.If you haven’t checked out the new SeeClickFix on our menu [between Message Boards and Events Calendar], you should.
SeeClickFix was designed by a small group of community-lovin’ folks in Connecticut and we incorporated it into our site because we believe that we’re all responsible for what happens in Mt. Washington. It allows any individual to report non-emergency issues such as graffiti, potholes or traffic safety issues on a map for everyone to see.
Here’s how it works:
See - see a non-emergency issue in your neighborhood
Click - open a ticket describing the issue and what can be done to resolve it
Fix - publicly report the issue to everyone for resolution
It’s just as simple as calling 311. So next time, the neighbors put their trash out on a Wednesday…to be picked up on the following Tuesday or you SEE fresh graffiti on someone’s garage door, CLICK to report it on 15211 and check back to confirm that the issue has been FIXED.
SeeClickFix is a new tool and still in the development stage. We think the issues are being tracked and sent to local police, but we can’t confirm. At the very least, it’s a way for us to keep track of what’s going on and where–so please be sure to come back and close out your ticket if you know a problem you reported has been resolved.

Additionally,
a big part of fixing is creating watch areas for those you feel are responsible for fixing.
If you have an email for Pittsburgh PD or any other city department you should create a watch area for them and they will receive alerts on future issues and be made aware of the current issues from the email that is sent to them when the watch area is created.
