There is an organization already tracking crowd-sourced reports of needed repairs, SeeClickFix. I have used this to report issues such as blocked street drains. The local Public Works department monitors these reports and marks them closed once the needed repairs have been done.

Crowd source databases are not appropriate sources for government/local
action at that level.  Were there interest
from a government/local authority, that agency could be granted protected
access to the taking manager or other data store.

Adding tags to the main database is not the only option for collecting,
maintaining or distributing data.
