I request birth certificates from all over the US (and territories) in my line of work, and it is always a pleasure requesting from Denver through VitalChek. They make the process safe and secure with clear requirements on what is needed. Paula, one of the supervisors, is extremely helpful and amazing! Thank you :)

I called 12-23 to report that there is no heat at 48th st women's shelter and it's 15 below 0 outside. I waited on hold for 10 minutes listening to music. A women's voice came on and said if your not going to speak I'm going to hang up. If I was paying rent it would be illegal to not give me heat.

I’ve submitted several complaints, all of which are closed with “more information requested” without them ever having reached out to me. It’s 1:30am and for the second weekend in a row I cannot sleep because of a local business breaking the noise ordinance laws. I have a white noise machine, ear plugs, and I can STILL HEAR IT. I have a heart condition and my heart has been racing all night. If I have a medical emergency as a result of the unresolved complaint, I will sue. And now that my apartment has become (by law) uninhabitable, I will hold Denver accountable for that too. I’ve lived in Denver for 8 months and it’s a LOUD nightmare. No wonder people keep leaving. Not to mention, the club I reported for noise violations has MANY reviews about women getting roofied there. I’ll bet this team ignored those reports too. Shut club vinyl DOWN.

I worked with Ben briefly. At first, he seemed okay, so I told him about the roach infestation in my Franklin Park apartment. Then, maintenance botched a job trying to fix the problem, and when I called Ben crying, he hung up on me. He denied it, even though I had a text message. His boss was useless, claiming I never answered the door – a complete lie. This whole thing was incredibly unprofessional. The Denver Health Department closed my active case, even though this building has had roaches since 2020! Ben knew this. He yelled at me, saying to "stick to the facts," while ignoring the fact that I'm dealing with roaches in my *home*. I keep my place spotless, and I'm a Section 8 tenant. Then he dismissed years' worth of photos as "not good enough," telling me to use a different app. Google Photos timestamps everything! It's clear the Denver Health Department lied; they closed my case despite the ongoing infestation, which now includes bed bugs. I'm not even bothering to call them again. They're incompetent and clearly don't care about people with disabilities, especially women. I'm disgusted. They don't care about tenants, they expect robotic behavior, then lie and blame you. I've spent my own money trying to fix this. Don't waste your time with the Denver Health Department. They'll just shut you down if you dare show any emotion. They are a joke. It's clear they cover for each other. I lost all faith in all health departments I don't know why anybody is scared of them because they're harmless. Worthless..
