Report a problem:

Some contractors and homeowners have voiced a concern that, while they have to "jump through hoops" to do the right thing, whether it be pulling a permit, renewing a license, obtaining continuing educations credits, or complying with the building code; there are many others who do not abide by the same rules and get away with it. If you would like to report work without permit, zoning or building code violations, or hazardous conditions please click here.
