New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani has marked the repair of the city’s 200,000th pothole of the year on Troutman Street in Bushwick.
Department of Transportation crews and Ra-mel, a 311 worker who fields pothole complaints and helps ensure repairs are made swiftly, carried out the fix.
Mr Mamdani shared the video on Thursday, 17 September, showing him calling 311 to report the pothole. The non-emergency hotline responded: “We got it”.
In early April, the Mayor filled the city’s 100,000th pothole of the year on Staten Island, marking the highest number of potholes filled in the first 100 days of a year in more than a decade.
