Great article. Preface- I love Baltimore, love living here and have been here for almost 20 years. I recently received an environmental cit, but didn’t get the first notice.. (No surprise Bmore /USPS). When I was alerted by the following “pay now, or..” notice, there was no info as to what the cit was for, nor could I find a way to figure it out.. Three unanswered email requests to the city site later and I still have no clue why I’ve been cited. With all the bogus “official” mail that comes from scammers, it’s hard to sort out what’s real and what is seems like a scam for many people. Do better, Bmore light Baltimore.

You can check this website for your address, the citation photos should be there. I learned to check my own address often so I don’t miss a citation. I’ve received multiple citations, I never received the notice on time.

You’re welcome. There is a button on the top of the page to choose look up violations (no fine) or look up citations (fine). I missed that at first, it defaults to violations.

You can always call DPW at 410-396-4180 and request for details of the work performed and or pictures.

The office is far from perfect , equitable, or fair.

In my experience, in my neighborhood these fines aren’t for work done by the city. These are fines where the city inspector takes a picture of something he or she wants to be cited, the they send you a fine. Nothing was made better, no grass mowed or fallen fences fixed. This is a fine for the sake of a fine.
