Filing A Complaint
We depend on you to maintain your property to prevent conditions which encorage pests and nuisances. And, when others do not maintain their property according to the codes, we depend on you to bring these problems to our attention.
We encourage you to discuss your concerns with your neighbor, since most of us appreciate this straightforward approach, rather than having a city inspector visit our property. When this is not possible, you can ask the Inspections Services, Local Codes Enforcement to inspect for violations.
When filing a service request, if you give us a street address and an accurate description of the problem(s), we can respond more quickly.
To file a service request, call (336) 883-3151.
Public Nuisance Violations - The Enforcement Process
Enforcement involves our inspecting the property and filing a report about whether we found a violation. If a violation is found, the owner is requested by certified and first class mail to correct it within a specified number of days. If the property owner does not agree with the application of the ordinance to his property, he may appeal to the director for a hearing. If the owner does not appeal within the allowed time period of 15 days, the violation stands and is required to be corrected.
