Code Violations – What you need to know

Code Enforcement Presentation February 2026
We encourage you to view the Code Enforcement Presentation made at CdMRA’s monthly community meeting on February 19, 2026. We have also recapped some of the highlights below.

The City depends on its residents and businesses to report code violations. If fact, 80% of all code violations are reported by residents and businesses. It is not possible to staff the Code Enforcement Department large enough to cover the entire city every day. But as a resident you know exactly what is happening on your street and in your specific neighborhood. In fact, our eyes and ears are the best tools that Code Enforcement has!

Reporting code violations is quick and easy, and you can even choose to do so anonymously. Examples of code violations include noise, construction hours, water pollution, use of gas-powered leaf blowers in non-exempt neighborhoods, street drainage/run-off, etc.

There are three easy ways to report a code violation:

      1. Use the MyNB App (download from Google or Apple stores). Once the app is installed, open the app and:
        • Select Service Request and then
        • Select Code Enforcement 
      2. Use the city’s Quest System available on the city’s website
      3. Call the Code Enforcement Department seven days a week until 11:00 p.m. However, if the violation is on a federal holiday you will need to call the NBPD’s Front Desk and they will contact the Code Enforcement Officer on duty.

How to track your reported Code Violation
Code Enforcement maintains a Violation Dashboard for residents to view and track the status of complaints. You can view the status of your complaints here.

Code Enforcement Outreach Programs
Code Enforcement officers are reaching out to residents and Homeowner Association Boards in the hopes of meeting on a quarterly basis to highlight and identify problem areas that need addressing. We encourage those of you in Homeowner Associations to talk to your Boards about inviting them to speak as well. Code Enforcement Staff phone and emails here.

Every step we take in addressing these issues improves the quality and safety of our community.
