JAMESTOWN – Residents in Jamestown who have concerns about neighboring properties will now have another method of reporting those complaints to city housing enforcement.
On Monday night City Development Director Vince DeJoy walked the Jamestown City Council members through the latest upgrades to the city website involving code enforcement.
For the past two-and-a-half years the city has been using the MyGov software program to keep track of various property cases in the city. Now, local residents will also be able to have access to the platform, which will not only allow them to check up on property in question or the status of a past complaint, but also allow them to directly file a complaint to the city.
Residents will also have the option to offer their own contact information – if they so choose to provide it – to receive updates on their complaint.
In addition to checking in on individual property cases, residents will also have the ability to request reports outlining the number of active cases currently being tracked by the housing department, as well as see the total number of condemned properties that are currently listed in the city.
Program users will be able to use their smartphone, tablet device or personal computer to access the site.
The platform can be found under the Code Enforcement section of the city website at JamestownNY.net.
