I use AAA Pest Control.  They come every two months and do an outstanding job.  Ron Halbgewachs

Ciaran and I were discussing who manages the sewers- it’s the ABCWUA (water authority). Looked it up and our Water Authority has a form that residents can fill out when a cockroach problem is identified, so the Water Authority can come and spray manholes. Per their website, about one pound of boric acid is sprayed into each manhole through a hole in the center of the cover. The process does not typically require lifting the cover. While boric acid is very effective in killing cockroaches, it is not toxic to humans or animals. 

If you would like to request treatment for cockroaches in the sewer system in your neighborhood, please fill out and submit the form

Cockroaches are very common in Albuquerque and, as you noted, are more likely to come into households as the seasons change. I doubt it is something the City can (or should) handle, but rather it is up to individual homeowners or renters. 
 
Personally I get a quarterly bug spray on our property (we use Preventive Pest Control) and make sure the bottoms of my doors are sealed well. Leaving doors and windows open are an invitation for bugs.

Hi All:

   Just wondering others in the Nob Hill area are experiencing an influx of cock roaches? I have requested the city to treat the problem. I think it might be related to the warm weather of late.

   Thanks
