Public Health Nuisance Investigations

The Cumberland County Health Department handles a variety of complaints under the Public Health Nuisance Code that was adopted in 1953. Our inspectors respond to citizen complaints concerning general health nuisance conditions affecting the public. The CCDOH does not enforce local housing codes. Please contact your local municipality for housing code issues. Some issues are referred to other agencies for further enforcement and some issues result in a Notice of Violation being issued to the responsible party. The responsible party is given a certain period of time to correct the problem. If the problem does not get corrected then the matter is taken to the local court system. For more information regarding Public Health Nuisance Complaints, please contact our office at 856 327-7602
