Bull****. Government bureaucrats do not know the meaning of the word
discretion.

First thing out of their mouths will be, "Joe Schmoe from across the
street, phone number XXX-YYY-ZZZZ, blew you in." They don't want to
be the bad guys.

Code enforcement may tell you they are responding to a complaint, that
is 99% of what they do, but they won't usually say who complained.
Without that discretion, nobody would call and they would be out of a
job. A lot of these calls are anonymous anyway.

In my experience, which is rather vast because I have a pond right next to
the road, the zoning and wetlands officials ALWAYS tell me who complained.
