Report code violations in Anaheim through the Anaheim Anytime app and web portal, by phone at (714) 765-5158, or in person at City Hall (200 S. Anaheim Blvd). Anonymous reports are accepted. For noise and nuisance in progress after hours, call Anaheim Police non-emergency at (714) 765-1900 instead of 911.
Anaheim maintains a multi-channel intake system for code complaints. The preferred method is the Anaheim Anytime platform available as a mobile app on iOS and Android or through the city website, which lets residents submit photos, pin GPS locations, and receive a tracking number. Phone intake at (714) 765-5158 is staffed 8 AM to 5 PM weekdays. Walk-ins are accepted at Code Enforcement on the second floor of City Hall at 200 S. Anaheim Blvd. Complaints can be filed anonymously but including contact information allows investigators to coordinate access and share case outcomes. Useful details to include are the precise address, a description of the violation, whether the condition is visible from the street, and photos if safe to obtain. After hours and weekend issues involving active noise, parties, or public disturbances should go to Anaheim Police non-emergency at (714) 765-1900; call 911 only for in-progress crimes or life-safety emergencies. Short-term rental complaints have a dedicated STR hotline at (714) 765-4611. Graffiti can be reported directly for removal through the Anaheim Anytime portal under the Graffiti category, with typical removal within 48 hours on city-owned surfaces.
