New neighborhood services department blight process? (Phoenix: HOA, house, tenants)

[wetto]

I haven't reported a blight violation in a few months. I remember city of Phoenix had a blight reporting app on the play store but I can't find it. They also had the ability to report the blight violation directly through an email that was something like phoenix@blight.gov

Looking at the city of Phoenix website it looks as though it's been redone. I dont see an option to report anonymously other than through a telephone? Has anyone reported blight recently?

Never have, but curious as to what kinds of things you would report as "blight"?

I tell my tenants to call it in when they complain about this stuff. I didn't know they ever had an app.

Blight is basic HOA stuff for non HOA areas, and HOA areas really. Weeds, run down homes, junk cars, trash, and other stuff that is prohibited by law/city code. Other places call it code enforcement.

@ The believe the app was called myphxaz. Looks like they took it down. The webpage that explained it on Phoenix.gov appears to be broken.

Sucks because it made it easy to report things. Even had an integrated map to get the correct house address.

Basically anything that becomes excessively dirty and uncared for. Visible wrecked/abandoned/inoperable cars, outside storage, illegal signs,graffiti, people parking 3 cars on their lawn as if it were a parking lot. Overgrown weeds/grass I'm not a stickler for but there are people who never mow their lawn all year.

I imagine the system may have been abused. Would love to hear some of the outrageous things complained about.
