## How it works

The City's Unsightly Premises Bylaw No. 1378 is a scanned image, so its wording could not be read. The ticket schedules list these offences: allowing an accumulation of unwholesome matter, depositing rubbish in an open place, allowing an unsightly property, placing graffiti, allowing brush or noxious weeds, allowing insect infestation, and failing to remove rubbish.

## Steps

1. Report the property to Bylaw Compliance Services through SeeClickFix, by email or by phone.
2. Give your full name and phone number. Complaints are not anonymous, but the City keeps your identity confidential.

## Good to know

- The bylaw's process (notices, time to fix, cleanup at the owner's cost) is not stated in any readable City text. Ask Bylaw Compliance Services.
- Fine: a bylaw notice is $500 ($250 if paid within 14 days, $500 if paid late) for each offence; a municipal ticket is $500.
