Submitted issues are routed to the appropriate DOB staff member and tracked to ensure timely completion. 

Reporting Illegal Construction

If you see illegal construction activity in the District, please report it by submitting an Illegal Construction Inspection Request Form, or after-hours call 311 or visit 311's website. Give the address and describe the illegal construction, and DOB will schedule an inspection to investigate. As a reminder, all rodent, graffiti, abandoned vehicles, fallen trees, mold, or squatter-based issues should be reported to 311 for resolution.
