A blight complaint form is submitted through the City of Duluth website. Staff review the complaint. If there is a code violation (Housing, Abandoned Property, and Solid Waste) and an address provided, staff go to the location and investigate. Staff may issue a correction order at that time with a deadline for the person responsible to fix the issue. If the situation is resolved, the case is closed. If not, a warning letter is sent, followed by another inspection, and another timeline for correction. If the issue is not solved by the end of the second timeline, fines starting at $200 may be charged. Fines may increase with repeat code violations.
