★ For New York, by New Yorkers
The greatest city in the world runs on its people.
Block by Block turns neighborhood pride into a plan. Say what your block needs, celebrate what works, and give the city a map of what really matters — straight from the sidewalk.
Block by Block is an app for the city. Install it straight from this site — no app store, no account, no tracking.
Your voice, in 30 seconds
No account, no forms, seven languages. If you can stand on a sidewalk, you can be heard.
Privacy is the design
No tracking, no profiles, locations blurred to the block. Ask what we hold about you: almost nothing.
No app store, no gatekeepers
Installed straight from the web. A civic tool belongs to the public — not to a platform, not to a vendor.
Praise what works
A city learns from what breaks — and from what's worth protecting. “Working well” reports show the city which investments to refund and replicate.
Every color on this screen is an homage to New York's own visual language — the one the city wrote for itself, long before any brand book.
Taxi yellow
The yellow cab: motion, hustle, a city that never parks.
MetroCard blue
The swipe that carried generations to work, to school, back home.
Bodega red
The corner-store awning — lights on late, the block's living room.
Subway tile
White tile on dark grout: a century of craft under the streets.
Civic pride is a public work
New Yorkers show up — for their neighbors, their stoops, their corners. Every report is a small act of participation. Together they become the city's to-do list, and its highlight reel.
