Are Code Enforcement Complaints Public Record?

In most jurisdictions across the United States, code enforcement complaints are considered public record, falling under the purview of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) laws at the federal level and similar public records statutes at the state and local levels. This means that the complaint itself, detailing the property address, the alleged violation, and the subsequent actions taken by the enforcement agency, is generally accessible to the public upon request. However, a crucial distinction often exists regarding the identity of the complainant. While the complaint is public, many jurisdictions have provisions to protect the anonymity of the individual who filed the complaint. This protection is typically implemented to encourage citizens to report violations without fear of retaliation, ensuring community safety and compliance. Therefore, while the substance of the complaint is usually discoverable, the name or identifying information of the person who reported it may be redacted or withheld, depending on local ordinances and state laws governing privacy and public records.
