Nuisance Complaints

The Environmental Health Division accepts general nuisance complaints from the public.  Complaints MUST include the following:

• The exact location of the problem

• The property owner’s name, if known

• A full description of the complaint

• Complainant’s name, address, and telephone number

• Complainant’s signature

The Environmental Health Division responds to complaints of environmental conditions that may pose a threat to public health. The department will evaluate each situation and determine the exact threat and attempt to educate the persons concerned while getting them to remove or abate the nuisance condition.

 

If failure to comply to recommendations of the department are not followed, the Board of Health will conduct administrative hearings ordering actions to be taken.   Failure to comply with the Board of Health will result in the case being referred to the Ashtabula County Prosecutor’s Office for legal action as described in Ohio Administrative Code 3707.01.
