Residents report aggressive door‑to‑door roofing solicitations; council urges reporting and enforcement
Summary
Council members reported resident complaints about aggressive door‑to‑door roofing crews; staff reminded the public that solicitors must hold city permits, and suggested pursuing a no‑knock registry if the problem persists.
Councilors on July 22 reported resident complaints about door‑to‑door roofing solicitations that councilors described as aggressive. Staff reminded council that solicitors are required to obtain city solicitation permits, which include identification and background requirements.
Council members asked the police and building department to investigate complaints. Staff said residents should call the police when crews are soliciting and that officers will direct solicitors to obtain permits at the finance department. Several council members suggested the city could consider a do‑not‑knock or no‑solicit registry if the problem continues; staff noted Orange Village has such a registry and that the city could explore a similar program.
Council indicated willingness to pursue enforcement and to consider a registry if solicitations persist, and encouraged residents to report incidents so staff and police can respond.
