City of Tampa Code Enforcement

For those of yo who are not familiar, this is the process that code violations go thru; this pulled directly from an email i received.

Thank you for using the Customer Service Center. We have logged your request and created Action File #09-*****. The CASE remains OPEN until compliance is achieved, although the Customer Service request will indicate a "closed" status.

Our internal procedures are as follows:

1. The property owner is cited
2. A Notice of Violation is sent
3. Re-inspections scheduled about 14 days after the initial violation is cited
4. Next Steps
.... Violation is corrected – action file is closed
.... Violation continues to exist – 2nd Notice of Violation is sent via Certified Mail
5. Final Follow-up: Re-inspection scheduled about 21 days after 2nd notification
.... Violation is corrected – action file is closed
.... Violation still exists – property owner summoned to appear before Code Board
…. Fines are imposed as required

If additional information is required, contact us at www.tampagov.net, Customer Service Center, or call the Customer Service Department at 813-274-5545.


Keep in mind that this is probably the 4th complaint that I alone have sent, and this one included pictures. It has only gotten worse at their house, so what happened to steps 4b and beyond?
