City of Wuppertal Clarifies App's Defect Resolution Claims

The city of Wuppertal has addressed concerns regarding the claims made by the app 'You are your place' regarding the prompt resolution of reported defects.

According to the city, tips received via apps like 'You are your place' or similar platforms are evaluated for potential administrative offences. However, the city does not guarantee prompt resolution of defects reported through these apps.

The city's actions regarding tips are guided by its duty and the administrative investigative principle. It decides on a case-by-case basis whether to pursue tips related to an administrative offence. The nature of the tip and the administrative offence involved are considered in these decisions.

It has been found that 'You are your place' has made a misleading claim about its ability to resolve reported defects promptly. This claim, which is also stated on the app's homepage, has been debunked and retracted as incorrect.

The person or office responsible for deciding whether violations of administrative regulations reported through the app 'You are your place' or similar apps, when assigned to the city of Wuppertal, are pursued is not explicitly named in the search results. However, such decisions typically fall under the relevant municipal authority or department responsible for enforcement within the city administration of Wuppertal.

The city of Wuppertal follows up on anonymous tips, but it does not automatically pursue all tips it receives. It is important to note that the claim about prompt resolution of reported defects on 'You are your place' is not based on factual evidence.

In light of these findings, users are advised to approach claims made by apps like 'You are your place' with caution. The city of Wuppertal encourages residents to report any suspected administrative offences, but it is important to understand that resolution times may vary depending on the nature of the offence and the city's investigative process.
