Why does my letter state "alleged condition"?

To better manage the volume of cases received, the division sends out a courtesy notice to the property owner. This provides the owner an opportunity to correct any violations that may exist. An inspection is conducted after 14 days and in most cases the violation(s) have been corrected and the case is closed.
When reporting a code violation will my name be released to anyone?

Any personal information related to any code compliance case is kept confidential.
How long does it take for a case to be closed?

A code case can sometimes be resolved in as little as a day or can sometimes take several weeks. In many cases inspections are being routinely conducted and there may be administrative citations or other legal processes occurring that are not readily visible to the public.
