I recently got a violation from the city's neighborhood services deptmnt. neighborhood preservation division I would like to look up the actual complaint filed to the city, and possibly by whom. Anyone know how to find out this info? I know it sounds crazy, but I'd call the department that handles the complaints. Everyone in this newsgroup has access to your city's records, but we're really busy today so we might not be able to check for you. What did you get written up for? |

Anyone know how to find out this info? Telephone city hall and ask. Common law suggests you have a right to know what the complaint is, perhaps also the identity of the complainant. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Whenever I get a complaint, especially when unfounded, I tell my neighbor that I will try to do better, then I provide all my contact information so they can call me any time if there's something on their mind. Other than the lipservice, I do what I please! Just be polite and tell them you're doing the best you can. |

Speak peaceable with code enforcement when they knock at your door. You'll find they can sniff out the chronic complainer from a real problem. |

Your neighbors don't owe you indulgence. Banty Good answer. Incident that precipitated my response was neighbor burning yard waste and shop trash during a summer burning ban. Smoke was coming in our windows. I told him of burning ban and he ignored me. I called state EPA and they gave him a warning. He continued. Another call to EPA got him a fine. He stopped his burning.

I was doing some spray painting outdoors, small project, no noise or waste, sunday afternoon during time watering was prohibited. FOUR police cars showed up, one guy did most of the talking. I went back to finish what I was doing, and the sprinkler came on again before the cops had left. I walked back out to the officer I had originally spoken with. He said he didn't enforce building codes, looked at his watch and said, "She's legal now.", it being a minute or two into LEGAL watering time at that point. A female officer, sitting in her car, said, "Well, she really shouldn't be doing that." The same person had previously assaulted me when I turned the sprinkler off one evening because I was expecting company and wanted to use the yard. Good Friday evening! It still makes my hands shake when I recount it, and haven't thought about it in a while. Condo unit owners are all well aware of her conduct. So, it's nice to presume that a nice guy has inadvertenly let something fall into disrepair and is willing to talk about it. Lots of folks aren't that way. There was a shooting in our county a few months back that was the end result of some code issue. One can avoid contact unless you are dealing with a person who will not be avoided. |

If it's a shared yard, why does one person have control over the sprinklers? How about unscrewing the handle and removing it? The system is on a timer - just push button to turn it on or off. Why? Because I have the neighbors from hell? ) This person is the condo treasurer, and a bulldog to deal with for the few who want to maintain the place. I could write a book, but nobody would believe it. A few deadbeat trust-fund babies, absentee owners, a couple who would do things properly but have been worn down. A couple who are willing to lie for each other change the balance of power considerably .. big risk to confront them. |

I was out in the yard yesterday when a small group of young teenagers wearing gang colors came strolling down the middle of the street, causing cars to stop because they wouldn't get out of the road. All I can hope for is that Darwin will prevail, as cars regularly speed way in excess of the posted limit. This used to be a nice neighborhood, but I digress. Would you want to go knock on *their* door to discuss the length of the grass or the trash in the front yard? Sheee-it. I'll call the city. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |

That's OK until you've been verbally assaulted a few times by neighbors that don't care to be responsible neighbors, and don't want to hear about it. After awhile you find more effective ways to deal with the problem. Bob |

They make no secret that they called. But the city is quite fair about the whole thing. CC will then spend a week in the neighborhood writing up everyone for every violation they can find. Most are 30 or 10 day cites, if corrected, are dropped as warnings. CC just wants -everyone- to know they were there ;-) Two years ago, the city fired half the CC staff for writing multiple cites for the same violations and cites for places they never visited. Happened right after mayor insisted that CC double the citations. I think the punishment was mis-applied ;-) She did help eliminate neighborhood communications, everyone replaced the 4' chainlink fences with 8' wood fences. (So CC can't see in backyards anymore) Used to spend many hours talking to neighbors over the backfence. Aahh, don't make much difference anymore, I can't speak Espanol ;-) So, don't let the paranoia get to you, they were there to get your neighbor to start with! -larry / dallas |

Maybe it works in certain places where pretty much everyone is operating the far side of the law anyway.

Wasn't that there was an "old lady" who was calling people in a lot, getting everyone so uptight they fence off their yards and it hurt neighborhood feelings? Now it's the town you're blaming?

What difference does it make? Are you guilty of the infraction or not? If you are, you could make better use of your time fixing the problem rather than looking for the one who reported it. I've turned in some of my neighbors over a long period of time. It generally ends up being the same one or two all the time. They just never catch on that grass should be less than waist deep. It's not like I don't wait several weeks while the grass grows before I report it, hoping they'll eventually do the right thing. Some people are just too dense to take the hint. I'd hate for them to find out it was me. As emotional as they get, they might come over to my house trying to hurt me and I'd have to shoot them. Better for everyone if they didn't know. Better for everyone if they'd keep their yard cut. I can see you're new at this. You go over to house and shoot them while they're in their yard. With waist deep grass it'll be a while before the bodies are found. R |

If you are, you could make better use of your time fixing the problem rather than looking for the one who reported it. I've turned in some of my neighbors over a long period of time. It generally ends up being the same one or two all the time. They just never catch on that grass should be less than waist deep. It's not like I don't wait several weeks while the grass grows before I report it, hoping they'll eventually do the right thing. Some people are just too dense to take the hint. I'd hate for them to find out it was me. As emotional as they get, they might come over to my house trying to hurt me and I'd have to shoot them. Better for everyone if they didn't know. Better for everyone if they'd keep their yard cut. I can see you're new at this. You go over to house and shoot them while they're in their yard. With waist deep grass it'll be a while before the bodies are found. ......or eaten by crows. :-) |

The elderly lady across the street from me has a pair of billion watt floodlights on the front of her garage. They go on with the same switch that works the inside garage lights, which is where she keeps her recycling bins. Occasionally, she forgets to turn them off, and the floods were installed by a monkey: They're pointed straight out. The illuminate my bedroom (yeah - I have curtains) enough to actually read. Sleeping is impossible when they're on. So, one day, I went over to ask if I could adjust the aim for her. The woman goes over the edge, telling me "I never use those lights, so I have no idea what you're talking about. I've lived here 50 years and I've never had a complaint. You've got some nerve bothering me like this!" Her son, who was visiting, comes to the door and says "Ma...if you never used the lights, why would he be asking about them?" She points to the post light in the yard and says "I need that light on. It's for security and I do NOT want you touching it!" Her son says "Ma...not that light - the floodlight on the garage". Anyway....he waited for her to take a nap, ran to my house, borrowed a wrench and stepladder, and fixed the problem. Sometimes, it's just not worth trying. |

If the son hadn't been there to see reason, I'd have no problem whatsoever with finding a solution to my satisfaction. The old hag probably never would have even noticed. I'm so glad my biggest problems around here are overgrown vegetation and mosquito control. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
