Please visit the City Clerk's office to file a claim.

Note:

Pursuant to Rhode Island State Law, the maximum amount of pothole damages claimed is $300; provided, however, that the City had reasonable notice of the pothole or may have had notice thereof by the exercise of proper care and diligence on its part, and a reasonable opportunity to repair the pothole.  

In addition, all pothole claims shall be made within a period of seven (7) days from the date on which the damage was sustained by filing a claim with the City Clerk.

Pothole claims occurring on Broad Street, Dexter Street and Lonsdale Avenue must be filed with the RI Department of Transportation
