Service Requests Online
“GOPittsburg” (click here) is the City of Pittsburg’s move to open a “24-Hour City Hall” by allowing residents, business representatives, or visitors to access their City government when and how it’s easiest – visiting a City office, going to the web site, calling a single phone number, sending a letter, or faxing a note. This allows anyone to go to the City’s web site – www.ci.pittsburg.ca.us – find “Services Requests Online” and request any type of City service. A simple electronic form will allow you to pick what problem you have or what information you need from a list. You’ll receive a tracking number, just like when you place an order from your favorite online store. If you choose, you can add your name and address, but that’s up to you. It’s as simple as that. Behind the scenes, the request is automatically forwarded to the person responsible for what you need. That person will keep you informed of the status of your request if you’ve provided your contact information.
iPhone Application for Service Requests
"GOPittsburg" is also available for iPhone users through the GoPittsburg mobile application. iPhone users simply open the app, select an issue, take a picture, and tap submit. The app knows the exact location and sends the issue directly to the staff member who can fix it. The iPhone app can be downloaded from the iPhone App Store by searching for GORequest, or by clicking here. There is no charge to download the application.
