Vacant buildings negatively impact our communities by:
- Increasing the risk of fire
- Creating safety hazards for firefighters and emergency personnel (gaping holes in floors, broken steps, etc.)
- Contributing to urban blight
- Attracting illegal activities
Report a vacant building
You can request an inspection, or report maintenance concerns by contacting 311.
