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.
