You must serve a notice on the city within 90 days. I doubt that you could get a lawyer to take the case and that is because you probably have no money damages or any cause to sue. You are probably over the stature of limitations in most states as well.

Normal statute of limitations is two years against a government agency; there are exceptions. Check with PI attorney.
