Complaint Process:
In order to have concerns addressed, several steps must take place. They are as follow:
- Problem identification (through citizen complaint or officer detection)
- Investigation by a code enforcement officer
- Notice of abatement will be issued detailing City ordinance violation
- Time given for the property owner to respond to notice by attending a hearing or by correcting the violation
- After that time has elapsed, a second inspection is conducted on the property
- If the property is not brought into compliance, such condition(s) will be removed or otherwise remedied by having employees of the town or an independent contractor remove or abate the nuisance.
- Property owner is billed by the Town for payment of services rendered to bring property into compliance
