Consumer Fraud Complaint

If you have fallen victim to a scam, the City’s Business Affairs & Consumer Protection (BACP) is responsible for prosecuting businesses engaged in unlawful practices. In certain instances, BACP may also facilitate the recovery of restitution for affected consumers.

To initiate the process, a complaint can be filed either online or by calling 311. Following this, the consumer will receive a complaint affidavit by mail, which requires a detailed account of the incident.

The affidavit must also include a notarized signature to enable BACP to commence their investigation. It is crucial that this completed affidavit is returned within the specified timeframe to ensure the investigation can proceed without delay.

Department of Business Affairs & Consumer Protection complaint categories:

 

 

Permit for Garage-Yard & Neighborhood Sales

Please complete the form and bring it to the 16th Ward Office along with your state-issued ID or driver's license, as well as a utility bill or tax bill. It is important that the address is consistent across all documents.

Permit & Petition for Block Parties

The Block Party Permit should be completed and submitted to the 16th Ward Service Office. Please ensure you include your email address at the bottom of the form, as your permit will be sent to you via email.
