When a complaint is received, or staff suspects a violation, the following steps are undertaken to have the violation abated:
An inspection is scheduled to determine if the complaint has merit. If it does not, the case is closed.
If the complaint has merit, a letter explaining the violations is mailed to the property owner. It provides direction and timelines to abate the violations.
To report Code Enforcement violations, contact the Code Enforcement Division by phone or email, or visit the City's iHelp page to report online. Examples of violations to report include:
Abandoned shopping carts
Building Code violations, such as construction without permit, illegal additions, etc.
Property Maintenance violations such as weeds, garbage, junk, graffiti, etc. on private property
Zoning Code violations such as home occupations, conditions of approval, etc.
