Florida looking to stop frivolous anonymous code enforcement complaints

TAMPA, Fla. â Florida state lawmakers are looking to stop neighbors from filing anonymous complaints to code enforcement unless there is a major safety concern. The aim is to stop frivolous code enforcement reports that unnecessarily harass families in community disputes.
Tampa s South Seminole Heights community was recently taken by surprise after someone filed two dozen anonymous complaints to Tampa s Neighborhood Enhancement Division.
Ellie Baggett, who serves as the South Seminole Heights Civic Association president, said they were all about other neighbors driveways failing to meet code. She said the reason the person filed between 20 and 25 complaints is because their own driveway failed to gain approval from the city.
