The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

Two water-filled potholes in the road surface at 73 Morse Street—one approximately 12 inches with jagged edges and one approximately 6 inches—indicate underlying asphalt failure and a non-functioning drainage system unable to clear standing water. The catch basin serving this area (installed in 1885) is likely failing to properly drain street-level water, exacerbating the road damage.
