The really cool thing, IMO, is the City of Boston app. You can report anything- grafitti, potholes, "can we plant a tree here please," and of course "the neighbor is leaving the trash out/marking a parking spot with a barrel/smells."
The cool thing is that the reports are all public and you can follow up on yours until they respond.
From a city manager's perspective, this must be terrifying- if more reports come in than you can handle. If you CAN handle the volume, though, it's pretty awesome.
