If you provide a phone number with your Service Request, you will receive status updates by SMS text message.
First, you will receive a confirmation message with your Service Request number. Then, each time the assigned Agency takes action on your Service Request, you will receive a new message to alert you of a status update. 
Notification messages are not generated for some Department of Transportation Service Requests.
The City does not charge for this service, but your text messaging or data rates may apply. Check with your carrier for further information.
The City doesn't accept complaints for email notifications, but you can provide NYC311 Feedback.
