Advocate / Speak Up Code Violation Filing Service | California Edition

Our Advocate / Speak Up filing service helps you report business code violations in Huntington Beach without revealing your identity. We submit the complaint under our company name—so your personal information stays protected. Start for free to see how easy it is, then upgrade for professional support, guaranteed resubmission, and peace of mind—all in full compliance with Huntington Beach’s 2023 ordinance banning anonymous business complaints.

Required: Include up to four clear, high-quality photos to support your complaint. To prevent bogus or malicious filings, photos must include EXIF location data that matches the reported address. No EXIF data, no report. Just because you’re anonymous doesn’t mean you get to harass your neighbor — we vet every submission for accuracy and intent.

We track your complaint from start to finish — submitting under our name, following up with the city, pulling records if needed, and confirming the outcome. If the city issues a violation or resolves the issue, you earn up to $10. This is the only way to qualify for bounty payouts. One complaint per tracker. No guessing, no ghosting — just real follow-up and real results.

Recommended: Provide a detailed description for your complaint to help enforcement officers investigate accurately. Reports with detailed narratives improve investigation effectiveness by about 25%. Without this, your description is limited to 200 characters.

Recommended: Strengthen your complaint by adding up to two (2) clear video footage of the violation. SNITCH data shows complaints with videos are 75% more likely to result in enforcement actions. Without this, you can’t submit videos.

Recommended: Include supporting documents like past correspondence, permits, or legal notices to strengthen your complaint. Complaints with official documents are twice as likely to receive immediate attention. Without this option, you can’t submit documents.

Include a personalized message with your complaint to provide context or suggest a friendly resolution. Having, and documenting, direct dialogue can resolve nearly 40% of disputes without formal enforcement.

Choose priority handling to have your complaint submitted within one business day 24 hours, ensuring faster agency attention. Priority complaints typically see action 48 hours sooner. Without this, submission occurs within seven calendar days.

Have your complaint reviewed by retired code enforcement officers to enhance accuracy and effectiveness. Professionally reviewed complaints are 70% more successful due to expert knowledge of local codes.

Obtain critical public records to strengthen your complaint. We handle the full records request process, ensuring your submission is fully supported by official documentation.

  • Strengthen your complaint with solid evidence.
  • Saves you time navigating public records laws.
  • Enhances likelihood of successful code enforcement action.

Let our team handle all official communication with code enforcement agencies after submission. We’ll respond to requests, provide additional documentation, and keep you updated every step of the way.
