How to File a Complaint (Housing, Lawn, etc):

A signed complaint form must be on file with the City before an inspector can respond and, if deemed legitimate, take appropriate action. There are several ways in which to file a complaint. You may call 315-363-8460 and speak with an enforcement officer. Complaint forms are available at the City Hall lobby or download a Complaint Form.

All complaint forms must be signed by the person making the complaint and have a phone number provided. Once the complaint has been investigated and found to be legitimate, enforcement actions will be taken.
