Functions

The Community Board’s general meetings are run according to Roberts Rules of Order. While the public is encouraged to attend and observe Community Board proceedings, only Board Members can discuss and vote on motions before it. The Community Boards were created by City Charter, and their roles and responsibilities are defined in Chapters 69 and 70. They must operate within all applicable City, State and Federal laws that govern public bodies. CB6 also has its own set of by-laws.

We encourage the public to attend the Community Board’s various public hearings, committee meetings, informational meetings and special events to participate actively in the items before the Community Board at the grassroots level. All meetings of the Community Board are open to the public, and are posted on our online Calendar.

District Office Duties

The CB6 District Office provides administrative support for the Community Board, sends out public notices, works alongside the Chair and Executive Board to draft and post resolutions, and liaises with City agencies and local representatives.

The District Office maintains all the public records of the activities of the Community Board and is responsible for setting up and preparing notices of all Community Board meetings and functions. Additionally, the District Office reviews Street Activity Permit applications for street fairs, block parties and other street closures, monitors the delivery of municipal services and, in general, acts as a one-stop shopping point for information and referrals pertaining to all City government matters. The District Office is a professional, non-partisan office. There are no fees for any services provided.

Complaints

We strongly encourage the use of the City’s 311 system for reporting routine maintenance requests including but not limited to potholes, tree pruning, missing or damaged signs, street light malfunctions, and clogged catch basins. Once you have lodged a 311 complaint, you may send your ticket to the office at [email protected] or call the District Office at (718) 643-3027 during office hours (9-5pm, M-F except for holidays).

Please note all pertinent information (e.g., exact location or street address, cross streets, etc.) related to the type of complaint you wish to report. Not having sufficient information may delay our efforts to help resolve the problem.

You can also follow up on your 311 complaints by letting us know about any complaints/ service requests you’ve submitted by filling out this form.
