When problem properties undermine public safety, the Columbus City Attorney’s Property Action Team steps in to make a difference. We work closely with police, fire, public health, code enforcement and community leaders to identify problem properties and find solutions that improve public safety and strengthen Columbus neighborhoods. Whether it’s working with business owners to improve security or taking legal action to hold bad actors accountable, our goal is to do what is best for the neighborhood. We also connect residents to critical services to improve the quality of life in all of our neighborhoods. The majority of our cases begin with a community complaint. So if you see something, say something. It takes all of us working together to advance safe neighborhoods. The City Attorney’s Property Action Team is here to help. To report criminal activity, call the Columbus Division of Police’s non-emergency line at (614) 645-4545. For all other inquiries, call (614) 645-3111 or visit columbus.gov/311.
Our attorneys know the communities they serve because they’re in them everyday, meeting with neighborhood leaders, business owners, residents and families about what matters most: your safety. Designed around the Columbus Division of Police’s organization of the city into six zones, the Columbus City Attorney has assigned an Assistant City Attorney to each zone
