11:10 pm
settlement. nbc 10 obtained surveillance vid joe of the fall but we have to warn you, it is graphic. you can watch the top of your screen here. you're going to see the engineer fall four stories to the floor of the museum. this was back in november of 2012. he was inspecting lightning fixtures in the museum's attic when he plunged through what lawyers call an unsecured glass floor. it is administered by the philadelphia museum of art which insists appropriate warning signs were posted. a school bus caught blowing through a red light even driving on the wrong side of the road in new jersey. plus, potholes on city streets. philadelphia says if you report them, they'll get fixed in three days. but the nbc 10 investigators discovered that's not always the case. what happened when we started asking questions. and with your neighborhood weather, i'll show you what areas can expect rain for part of the morning commute and more rain by the end of the week. even some thunderstorms. we'll take a look at the timing of it. that's next.

11:13 pm
new at 11:00, your nbc 10 investigators expose a roadway headache. >> it was a pothole. >> faced by everyone who drives in the city of philadelphia. records show potholes going unrepaired for weeks, months, nearly a year. but is the city even keeping track? >> how would you guys measure how long it takes to repair something? >> that's the challenge that i'm talking about. >> the investigators looked at every request for road repairs submitted by drivers and residents last year. >> and investigative reporter george spencer discovered big errors that the streets department is now rushing to fix. >> reporter: from her front porch, victoria has watched four decades of traffic rumble past. but that noise is nothing
11:14 pm
compared to the jolt every time a truck hits the pothole steps from her home. >> i don't care what time it is, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 in the morning. you can hear it. >> reporter: she says she heard it for months and months. the city's 2015 records show the pothole on her block of richmond street took longer than any other to repair. reported january 22nd of last year, it wasn't closed until january 12th of this year. 354 days later. >> there's a big hole. there's no big hole, that it's not a problem. but it is a problem. >> reporter: the streets department promises that potholes reported through the city's 311 system will be repaired within three business days. but when we checked more than 8,000 requests from last year, we found the pothole on her block is not the exception. it seems the department was
11:15 pm
often missing that deadline. more than half of pothole requests weren't closed out for at least five days. and well over 1,000 listed as taking more than 200 days. city councilman david o has scheduled a hearing to press department leaders about using more efficient technology saying the pothole repair status quo must end. >> we're going to keep doing it the same inefficient and unresponsive way we've been doing it. >> reporter: so you think we need a new way to handle this is. >> i really do. >> reporter: as we dug deeper, the department's own records looked even stranger. we noticed a handful of dates like january 12th, 2016, coming up again and again. that's the day this pothole was reportedly closed out but crews also listed 298 other potholes from the northeast to south philly as closed that very same
11:16 pm
day. sometimes as many as nine different potholes closed in the same minute. when we showed deputy streets commissioner michael carroll, even he hadn't noticed the discrepancy in his team's reports. >> we don't even know if they're accurate. >> well, clearly not. i mean, we didn't do that volume of potholes all over the city in one day. >> reporter: carroll can't say for sure how an entire year of data was so corrupted. streets crews are supposed to close out 311 repair requests the day the work is done. his best guess, crews waited sometimes months and then marked hundreds of requests as closed at the same time. it leaves the city with no accurate record of how quickly or how slowly crews repaired your requests. >> there is no real tracking of exactly how long it took to repair potholes. >> remember, those potholes are the 311 requests which is one subset of the potholes that we -- >> reporter: these are the ones
11:17 pm
citizens have called in so it's obviously sting on their radar. >> it is important, yes. >> reporter: councilman o says the failure leaves leaders unable to monitor progress or make improvements. >> it's like boom. >> reporter: for her, the frustration of pothole earri earringing lingers. she can't recall exactly when her street was repaired and since the city didn't keep track, either, she's left wondering how it manages problems even bigger than her pothole. >> you know, nobody's going to come and do anything. >> this story is already having an impact. acting commissioner carroll has promised meetings with all street repair crews and their fill-ins emphasizing city rules and their responsibility to track road repairs every day at the end of every shift. he says it's their responsibility to the city and to all of us who drive philly streets. for the investigators, george spencer, nbc 10 news. and check out this new
