Reporting Violations:
The Borough understands that some residents may feel uncomfortable providing their name and phone number when reporting a possible violation. We do not offer the name of the complaining party to those who are notified of violations.

Please understand that not all conditions that the Borough receives information about are in violation of any Borough code and therefore we may not be able to resolve every situation to the satisfaction of the reporting party. We do appreciate your efforts to help us keep Jonestown a healthy and attractive place to live.
