report of a breach
In England and Wales, it would be a report of a breach [of building or planning regulations]. That would be followed, if necessary, by an enforcement notice and possible court action.

Report a breach of building regulations. Upload evidence. You can upload up to four images, pdfs or documents if you want to send evidence of the problem you're reporting.

: yes it's a breach of regulations and the report may be by a third party such as a neighbour; it's then up to the authorities (the Préfet?) whether to take any further action

: "Report” as used in your example may apply when asking members of the public to report a breach and could probably be “back-translated” as signaler or dénoncer here, but does it reflect how official a PV is?

Thanks. A report of a breach of building or planning regulations can be made either by a council officer or a member of the public. It's only the first stage of the process.

: these words don't mean serve notice nor is there any hint of that in the text// it simply says 'issued' - served is over-translation

What does "serve notice" mean to you? This would appear to be the terminology used in the UK to describe a formal notice of infringement being issued by a competent authority - see web link above.

: Yes to "enforcement" (etc.), as "report" applies only to the public reporting a breach (= signaler or dénoncer), whereas procès-verbaux are official documents, i.e. from the authorities, which carry legal consequence

Article L480-1 du Code de l’urbanisme: Les infractions… sont constatées par tous officiers ou agents de police judiciaire ainsi que par tous les fonctionnaires et agents de l'Etat et des collectivités publiques... Les procès-verbaux dressés par ces agents font foi jusqu'à preuve du contraire (https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichCodeArticle.do?idArticl... Reliable background info on how it works in the field and what the legal consequences of a PV can be are found here (for example) : https://www.oise.gouv.fr/content/download/14039/86769/. The way the British deal with that kind of situation is described here:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/ensuring-effective-enforcement#.
I’m not suggesting any of the titles of the documents shown there should be used as a translation as both countries follow different procedures, but could not words like "notice", "enforcement" or "order" be considered so as to reflect the official nature of procès-verbaux?
