Glen Cove Code Enforcement handles complaints about property maintenance, illegal occupancy, illegal short-term rentals, garbage violations, snow removal and most non-emergency ordinance issues. Call (516) 676-3766 or submit a complaint through the city's online system.
Active noise disturbances, fireworks and public-safety issues go to the Police Department (non-emergency line). Animal complaints involving dogs go to Cove Animal Rescue under the city's shelter contract. The Tree Commission handles tree-removal complaints. Code Enforcement maintains records of complaints and inspections - frequently-cited properties can be tracked through FOIL requests.
