What is a human health hazard or nuisance? 

An environmental health nuisance is a condition that may affect the health, comfort, safety, or well-being of the public. It may cause illness, injury, or death if exposure is not stopped.

How can Waukesha County Environmental Health help me with my hazard or nuisance complaint? 

Waukesha County does not have a countywide human health hazard ordinance or housing code. Many local jurisdictions have local ordinances that may address these hazards. 

Our goal is to provide or point you to resources to assist in resolution of your concern. 

If your complaint is related to a commercial licensed establishment such as a restaurant, retail food store, public swimming pool, or lodging facility, please fill out the Online Complaint Form.
