Among the most requested services are, for example, the removal of badly parked cars, the inspection of buildings, the repair of lighting and public furniture, or pest control. So far, the portal claims to have received more than 7 million service requests, of which 49% have been handled. It also has an app for smartphones and the possibility of telephone service.
