Every neighborhood in New York City is represented by an all-volunteer
community board, which serves as the neighborhood's liaison to city
agencies. Board members are appointed by the neighborhood's city
councilperson and the borough president.
The goal of a community board is to help resolve issues involving
pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, housing, land use and zoning,
outdoor lighting, potholes, sanitation, libraries, crime, police
presence, social services, rodents, trash collection, public litter
baskets, street and sidewalk conditions, etc.
