You must be the neighborhood hero!
How's mischief night at your house?

I think you misunderstood (or maybe I did). It doesn't read to me
like HE sent the letters, rather, letters were sent by the township or
whoever regulates that type of thing in his community.

But HE (inadvertantly or not) caused them to get the letters. I'm sure he's
not favored very well in the 'hood.



So, what should he have done? Sit tight and done nothing, not asked the town,
what? If their building was against code, how is it *his* fault? Oh, I know,
honor among theives, he's supposed to help them hide their violation.

I peeved a neighbor when I pointed out to the town that a storm drain was
completely clogged. Water would jump the curb, running diagonally across my
front yard, then down my other neighbor's yard, causing subsidience damage to a
front walkway I had, etc. The town came in and dug the new storm drain between
our properties - that's what easements are for.

The neighbor never talked to me again. Gosh darn, not only were some softwood
trees removed from the easement area, the town also noticed his failing septic
when they were back there. He had to replace it. I always wondered - what else
the heck was I supposed to do - tolerate ongoing water damage to help him hide
his septic?

said neighbor's front lawn)
