Greenwich, CT Code Violation Reporting: How to Report (2026)

Section 6D-5(a) directs the Town to publish the method and process for filing a blight complaint on the Town of Greenwich website, giving residents an official channel rather than an informal one. Under Section 6D-5(b), once a written complaint arrives, it is referred to the Blight Officer, who determines whether the matter is proper for review and, if so, opens an investigation; the Blight Officer may also open an investigation without waiting for any complaint under Section 6D-5(c). After the investigation is complete, Section 6D-5(d) requires the Blight Officer to present findings and recommendations to the Blight Review Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting, and the Board decides whether a probable violation exists.

Within two weeks of that decision, the Blight Officer must notify the original complainant in writing of the outcome. If the Board finds a probable violation, Section 6D-5(e) requires written notice to the property owner or occupant within two weeks, with copies sent to Emergency Preparedness, the Fire Department, Legal and the Police Department, and the owner gets a chance to submit written material to the Board before it acts. If the Board instead finds no violation, Section 6D-5(h) requires it to serve written notice of no further action on both the owner and the original complainant, formally closing the case.
