Significant hoarding can put individuals who hoard and their family members at serious risk of health problems, injury, removal of at-risk children or older adults from the home, homelessness, or in the worst case, even death.

To report hoarding for a Code Enforcement investigation, please contact the Call Center at 311 or (210) 207-6000. You may also contact Adult Protective Services if the person is elderly or disabled at (800) 252-5400.

311 is available seven days a week from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM and 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM on holidays.
