The following report is submitted by the City of Wilmington Code Enforcement Department.
Once a complaint is received, properties with reported violations are handled with an intake form and an inspection is performed at the alleged location.
If a complaint is substantiated, a case is created, and an investigation is opened.
Property owners and/or tenants are then contacted via U.S. Mail with a “Notice of Code Violation” to notify them complaint has been made, the nature of the violation(s), and the actions that need to be taken to resolve the violation(s).
The property owner/tenant is also provided with the date that the follow-up inspection will take place and contact information for the Code Enforcement Department if they need more information, or to file an extension.
When a case status is “Violation Pending” this means that the property has either received a complaint that has not been investigated, or the property was given a warning and no violations have been opened at that time. Some cases may not be listed as they are still under review/investigation.
