Activities are actions taken by code staff regarding violations reported. They are grouped into four categories: complaints, investigation and resolution. When a complaint is received it is assigned to an inspector who visits the location and determines if there is a violation. If found, the property owner is notified and ask to correct the problem. If the problem persists, the property owner can receive a citation; or the city will abate the violation and charge the owner for the cost of the services. Either way, violations are eventually abated.

There are over 400 service requests types that are reported in the 311 system that affect the quality of life of our citizens, neighborhoods, and communities.
