The job of the Public Advocate is, most fundamentally, that of a watchdog, ensuring that all New Yorkers receive the City services they deserve and have a voice in shaping the policies of their government.

The Public Advocate's Constituent Services Unit assists with complaints or inquiries involving government-related services and regulations. The Unit provides information and referrals and works closely with City agencies to find solutions to help resolve your situation. Contact information for the Unit appears below.
