A DCR (Disruptive Conduct Report) is a written report made by a police officer after investigating disruptive behavior.

To report disruptive conduct, residents can call the Allentown Police Department at (610) 437-7751.

Residents can also make reports through the Check-Mate system, which lets callers use a number instead of their real name. This system helps keep the caller's identity private if they want to stay anonymous.

Check-Mate applications are available at the Allentown Police Department or City Hall.

When you are disturbed by: noise or behavior that is very loud at the wrong times, rude or aggressive, or by damage to property.

1. The Police Officer will investigate the report and take appropriate action to address the issue. If indeed evidence of a Disruptive Conduct is found a DCR is issued to the Tenant of the property.
2. A Disruptive Conduct Report (DCR) is then submitted to City of Allentown for enforcement of the Code.

1. Once a DCR (Disruptive Conduct Report) is received by the City of Allentown, it is entered into a database where it is recorded and tracked.
2. A notice of violation is sent to both the tenant listed on the report and the landlord. This gives them a chance to address the problem and prevent future incidents that could lead to eviction. This process can happen up to three times.
3. A key point is that if a 3rd Disruptive Conduct Report is issued within 12 months, it will result in a request for eviction. This means the landlord has the option to fix the issue by evicting the tenant.

• Keep noise at a reasonable level.
• Respect your neighbors' property.
• Always follow local rules.
• Be a responsible renter.
