Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

A sinkhole approximately 4–5 feet wide and 2–3 feet deep has formed at the sidewalk edge beside a yellow fire hydrant, exposing soil and debris with signs of ground collapse or drainage system failure. The undermined sidewalk creates a tripping hazard and potential collapse risk for pedestrians and the hydrant. Water pooling and accumulated debris suggest a blocked or failed catch basin or storm drain system requiring immediate repair.

Description

LARGE sinkhole beside sidewalk very dangerous
