The Condition does not look manmade and usually is not sitting in an area of collapse. To be 'actionable' the pothole should be at least one foot in diameter and three inches deep.

The Street Pothole Work Orders data consists of closed street potholes inspected and repaired by NYC DOT. The dataset includes a pothole's location, the date it was reported, and date the work order was completed.
