Does City Code Enforcement investigate and initiate code violation cases only on complaints received from citizens?

No.  A large portion of the code violations investigated by the City of Pensacola Code Enforcement Division are Officer initiated.  Code violation cases are initiated by Officers on an ongoing basis through the proactive patrols of their assigned BEAT areas. An example is that during FY 2020,  over 60% of complaints regarding overgrown vacant properties were Officer initiated while on routine patrol.
