Resources
Who represents the plaza, how to report a problem, and the neighbors already working on it.
Grand Army Plaza sits where two City Council districts, two community boards and two police precincts meet. Here’s who covers which side of Plaza Street, plus the groups PSBA works with.
Report a problem to 311
File online or in the NYC311 app, not by phone, so you can attach a photo.
Give your name and email. Named reports get status updates and can be escalated. Anonymous ones can’t.
Keep the service request number and email it to us at plazastreetblockassociation@gmail.com. We track open reports and push the city when nothing happens.
