Contact the Engineering Division at 313.943.2145 to report trip hazards. They will send an inspector to assess the situation. If repairs are necessary, the property owner is responsible for the cost of the repairs. Property owners may do the work themselves; however, a permit must first be obtained from the Building & Safety Department before any work may begin.
