BERGEN COUNTY -- Danny Sheth remembers the pothole.
"It was pretty deep," Sheth, who manages Schuyler Food Mart in North Arlington, said.
Every time someone left the parking lot of the store and drove onto Schuyler Avenue, you could feel it, Sheth said. He first called North Arlington in April 2015. They referred him to the county pothole hotline at (201) 646-2088.
Records show Sheth called three times over the next few weeks to complain.
"No big deal," he said. "As long as the job gets done."
And it did.
More than 200 complaints were made to the pothole hotline from April 2015 to April 2016, according to a database provided to NJ Advance Media under the state Open Public Records Act. The county covers about 450 miles of roadway.
There are about 12 people working in two crews each day inspecting roads and filling potholes, Ray Dressler, director of the county Department of Public Public Works, said. When a complaint comes in, it's placed on a job list and depending on how bad the hole is, it's addressed in a day or two, Dressler said.
A map of the complaints shows the calls came from nearly every town in Bergen, whether affluent or poor, from tiny Cliffside Park to sprawling Mahwah.
They came from police officers out on patrol and local public works employees on the lookout, to regular drivers like Nancy Anderegg who just try to get by each day without slamming their tires into one of those dreaded dark holes.
Anderegg, of Palisades Park, was in the car in April of last year when her daughter was headed south on Gorge Road in Cliffside Park. Her daughter struck a pothole near the high school -- a large one, as Anderegg remembers it.
"It was like a deep hole," she said.
Her daughter's tire blew out, the collision bending the rim. Like Sheth, Anderegg first called the town, and was referred to the county.
The pot hole was repaired two days later, records show.
"She did have to get a new tire," Anderegg said of her daughter.
Despite its small size, no town had more complaints than Cliffside Park. Palisade Avenue and Gorge Road, which form a narrow 'X' heading roughly north and south in the town, were the biggest offenders. There were six complaints about Palisade Ave and four regarding Gorge Road.
Cliffside Park was followed by Fair Lawn, with 11 complaints; Mahwah, with 10; and Woodcliff Lake, Paramus and Montvale, with 9 each.
Road crews are typically the busiest during and after the winter, when roads freeze, thaw and freeze again, Dressler said. He asked residents to be careful all year-round driving around crews working to fill potholes.
"If they see a crew on the street working, they should handle their speed and drive accordingly," Dressler said.
