Seattle Department Of Construction And Inspections

This service addresses issues related to inadequate housing, unsafe or vacant buildings, zoning infractions, landlord actions, and overgrown vegetation.

Intake Process: To report a potential code violation, you can file a complaint via phone or online. Make sure to include the specific address of the property in question or that of a neighboring property. You can later contact the SDCI Violation Complaint Line to obtain the name and contact number of the inspector assigned to your case, or you can check the status of your complaint online. Typically, inspectors are assigned to complaints within 7-10 days following the initial report. The SDCI gives priority to health and safety concerns, while less urgent issues may take more time to address. For further details on violations, please visit the website.

Costs: There are no fees associated with this process.
