How do I report a property owner changing the use of a residential property without proper zoning? (SERVICE REQUEST)
Complete a License Complaint Service Request of type Unlicensed Business Complaint and the Department of Licenses and Inspections (L+I) will inspect the zoning status of a residential building.
 
  • An inspection will occur within 20 business days
  • Violations will be issued if appropriate
  • The owner has 35 calendar days to correct the problem(s) before re-inspection
  • Up to 3 re-inspections may be conducted to ensure the property is in compliance. If violations remain at the final inspection, the property will be referred to court

You Should Know:
For any change in use to a residential property, the property owner must obtain a Zoning/Use Permit. Here are a few following examples:
  • An owner converting a single-family dwelling into a duplex or multi-family without proper zoning/use permit
  • An owner fixing cars in his garage (not for a fee) without a proper zoning/use permit
  • An owner renting the basement or garage of a house without a proper zoning/use permit
  • An owner parking his car on the property (not the driveway or sidewalk) or creating a parking space on the property without a proper zoning/use permit
