GLOUCESTER CITY INSTITUTES HOUSING AND BUILDING CODE COMPLAINT FORM

Gloucester City has created a Housing and Building Code Complaint Form for residents and businesses to report a complaint regarding a variety of issues.  The City hopes that this will aid individuals who have a complaint and cannot stop by the Housing Office or the Municipal Building.  The Complaint form can be accessed on the City website www.cityofgloucester.org, by hitting the tab for government and then for the housing department.  

Your complaint will be kept confidential and will be looked at in a timely manner.  The City believes this complaint form will allow the city to act on complaints in a more efficient manner.
