St Petersburg Code Compliance

"Drove here 1 hr for them to tell me they are closed on Wednesday after 12pm…. Can someone explain why is hours not updated??? Waisted 2 hours of my day"

"They made me paint my house, but not worried about the neighbors with plywood. Or abandoned vehicles hypocritical double standard government. I see why they only have 2 and a 1/2 stars."

"I called code enforcement to inspect my apartment unit. The agent deemed the unit unrentable due to multiple code violations. They scheduled a follow up investigation to see if any of the code violations have been fixed. The follow up investigation has never taken place. The property management group continues to rent the unit and code enforcement seems to care less. Supervisor even hung up on me. Don't expect results or customer service from these people."

"All I can say is look at the fence around Lake Emerald next time you drive by. City should be paying 100 dollars a day for that dilapidated fence. Total code violation. They send code enforcement to the people who are actually trying to improve their neighborhoods the right way."

"Where do I begin? We had a man (Jose Rodriguez an assistant) stopped by around lunch a few weeks ago. Put a door hanger to discuss the conditions of our driveway. Even though multiple houses around have clear violations and THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT…. He requested a call. My wife has called MULTIPLE times with no answer or call back. She also tried to call today and of course the codes department is closed at 2:40pm on a Wednesday…. Jose came back and left another door hanger said we needed a permit for a driveway right of way. Instead of answering his phone and returning phone calls to actually discuss the matter like originally on the hanger he just slaps another hanger on the door.… What he is “identifying” as a driveway is in fact not a driveway at all and was there when we moved in. The city can go back and look at photographs through the history of ownership. The area he is calling a driveway has the same mulch minus some rock at the end that meets the street to stop the mulch from pouring into road and going down into the sewer drain. Get it together and find better things to do code compliance department or do your job and answeActually answer your phone and talk to the residents. Unprofessional, lazy, inefficient and terrible use of resources as usual from the city of St. Petersburg…. As usual. If I could give less stars I certainly would."
