Working Together Towards
a Cleaner Neighborhood

In the Midtown Community Benefits District, we're committed to helping Baltimore City enforce sanitation codes to maintain a clean and healthy environment for all residents.
This new step-by-step guide outlines the process for addressing sanitation violations through the 311 system. Before submitting a request to 311, make sure the issue violates City Code. See Section 305 and 306 of Baltimore City Property Maintenance Code for issues around trash, rats, weeds, and other sanitation concerns.
For more information and tips on making effective requests, visit our website. Together, we can maintain the cleanliness and charm of our community.

As part of a continuing series, we are sharing monthly metrics on six key operational services. While these are just a portion of our daily services, our dedicated team strives to provide consistent support 7 days a week to each of the 144-blocks within the Midtown Community Benefits District.

During the month of October 2023, Midtown’s ambassadors:
- Removed 170 pieces of hazardous waste: includes the collection and disposal of drug paraphernalia, alcohol containers, and bio-hazard waste removal.
- Provided 48 hours of ATLV service: the Littervac provides the ability of 1 ambassador to service the same area it would take 2.5 ambassadors to complete on foot, providing a force multiplier in trash collection and hours of service.
- Serviced 127 alley blocks: includes loose litter clean up, dumping of bulk items, and providing clean up after DPW household trash collection.
- Collected 6.2 tons of bulk trash: includes providing on-call pick-ups to constituents and the collection of loose/illegally dumped bulk items.
- Removed 200 instances of graffiti: Public infrastructure graffiti abatement includes the removal of stickers, markers, spray paint, and unauthorized posters from public benches, signs, trash cans, bridges, and bus stops.
- Collected 27 tons of trash: Midtown provides the collection of 191 public trash cans 7 days a week and collects bags of litter cleaned up by our ambassadors in their daily deployments.

Midtown Baltimore is working with female Baltimore-based artist Saba Hamidi to develop a mural for the Maryland Avenue Bridge to be installed in Spring 2024. Given the unique location of the bridge, which falls in an area that's not specific to one neighborhood or community, we have led a series of engagement sessions to establish a design that draws people in and aims to connect our communities.
During November, Midtown's team will be attending Community Association Meetings to share the project scope and a short presentation about the mural. Be sure to join us to learn more about this exciting and transformative project!
- Bolton Hill: November 7th
- Charles North: November 21st
- Madison Park: November 2nd
- Mount Vernon: November 21st
Funding support for this project is graciously supplied by our partners at the Central Baltimore Partnership.
