Residents yearning to report issues like barking dogs, signal outages, abandoned vehicles, overgrown trees, unsafe sidewalks or even potholes can alert city staff with a few simple clicks of a smartphone. Late last year the tech-savvy City of Lafayette announced the launch of a Code Enforcement application for smartphones. The mobile app, called GORequest can be downloaded on Apple and Android devices and allows users to include specific details of an issue. "It allows users to take a picture, select an issue type, add comments and include a location of the complaint," said Code Enforcement Officer Adam Foster. "Information is then instantaneously forwarded to the appropriate staff member." For those without a smartphone, there is an online Code Enforcement Request form, or simply call the code enforcement officer at (925) 299-3207. C. Tyson
