We understand it can be frustrating when a reported issue doesn’t seem to be resolved right away. In every case, the property owner or responsible party must first be notified that there is a violation and given a reasonable amount of time to correct the issue.
Notification can take different forms. Sometimes it’s as simple as a visit from a Code Enforcement officer or another authorized City employee. In other cases, it may require certified mail, repeated attempts to make contact, or even issuing a formal citation if the responsible party does not respond.
Why does this take time?
The City is required to follow due process, which ensures that everyone is treated fairly and legally. While this can take time, it helps ensure violations are resolved properly and stand up to legal requirements.
Please know
Your complaint is important. Even if you don’t see immediate changes, the case is being actively tracked and handled in an appropriate manner until it reaches compliance or moves to the next enforcement step.
