Is there something in your neighborhood that you think is in violation of the City code? Use the link below to open up the code complaint form. Complete it and submit it to the Inspections department so that it can be investigated. Just an FYI- there is a specific process that we have to follow when we get a complaint so it may take longer than you think it should to resolve the complaint. We get it that this can be frustrating but we have to follow the due process in each case.
