National City Connect is public, so write carefully
National City Connect is for non-emergency service requests. The city page names examples like graffiti, potholes, malfunctioning streetlights, abandoned vehicles, and similar local issues.
The app can include GPS location and a photo, which is useful in a dense city with busy corridors, alleys, parks, older blocks, and bay-side industrial areas. A pin and picture can make the request much easier to understand.
One detail deserves care: National City Connect is a public website. The city page warns that information you include can be seen by anyone online. Keep personal information out of the description unless the form clearly asks for it in a private field.
For a good report, use the exact location, describe the issue plainly, and add a photo if it helps. The city monitors the system during normal business hours. Emergencies still go to 911, and Public Works has a phone number for people who need to report without using the online system.
