Citizen Response Center

The Citizen Response Center is a customer service resource for all residents. If you have questions, complaints, concerns, or just don’t know who to talk to at City Hall, you can submit an inquiry online at www.erie.pa.us/crc or call 814-870-1111. We want all residents to have access to the information they need.

The Citizen Response Center is available to anyone who would like to submit a Complaint, Concern, Compliment, or just has a General Question. An example of each includes:

• Complaint – My garbage was not picked up.
• Concern – There is water bubbling up from the street.
• Compliment – The renovation in Perry Square looks great! Nice job!
• Question – Where can I obtain a vendor permit?

The Citizen Response Center is open Monday thru Friday from 8:30 AM until 4:30 PM. Outside those hours please submit your query and the CRC will respond as soon as possible. The CRC is unmanned during weekends and holidays.
