How to Check the Code Enforcement Status of a Property

Checking the Code Enforcement status of a property by going online or by calling 311 will tell a person if there are any open violations, closed violations, and type of violations. You can obtain copies of the information requested by filling out a Request for Public Records form. A payoff form needs to be filled out if you need a record of all money owed against the property by the City.
