Code Enforcement How-To

If residents want to file a complaint about chipping peeling paint, loose gutters, damaged roofs, high grass and weeds, inoperable vehicles on private property, large fallen tree limbs on private property, and other exterior housing code violations, there is a process.

Use the 311 access option (311 or 645-31111 on your phone or311.columbus.gov).

Louann Irwin is the Code Officer who covers German Village. Complaints have to be entered into the 311 system before they are assigned to her.
