Unleash Your Inner Code Crusader: Reporting Options
There are two main ways to vanquish these villainous violations:
Dialing for Dollars (or Actually, Just Reporting): Grab your phone and dial the mighty Codes Hotline at 615-862-6590. A real-life hero (or at least a very nice person) will answer your call and take down the details of the dastardly deed.
Clickety-Clack, Report the Crack: Head over to the hubNashville website (
https://www.nashville.gov/departments/codes
Remember: When reporting the violation, try to be as specific as possible. Include the address of the property, a description of the violation, and any other details that might be helpful, like photos (evidence is key in the fight for justice!).
Bonus Round: The Art of the Anonymous Report
Maybe you'd rather be a silent guardian, a watchful protector – a code enforcement Batman, if you will. That's perfectly fine! Both the phone hotline and online portal allow you to report anonymously.
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
Here's the thing, though: While anonymity is your right, providing your contact information can help with the investigation. So, if you're comfortable, consider leaving your name and number.
