FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ADAMS) – Fort Wayne’s Neighborhood Code Compliance office has received reports of an individual knocking on doors claiming to be a Code officer and asking to enter the residence to complete an inspection.
Neighborhood Code officers do not conduct unannounced interior inspections, and residents should not allow a person claiming to be an officer inside their home.
Residents are reminded that:
• Code officers wear shirts featuring the official City of Fort Wayne seal.
• All officers carry official City of Fort Wayne identification.
• Officers drive clearly marked City of Fort Wayne vehicles.
Anyone who is approached by an individual claiming to be a Code officer without the proper identification or a marked City vehicle is encouraged to refuse entry and report the incident immediately.
To report suspicious activity, residents may contact the Fort Wayne Police Department non-emergency number at 260-427-1222, unless someone is in danger and then 911 should be called.
