[QUOTE="mbear53, post: 1850985, member: 779"] I'm a Code Enforcement Officer, so I'll throw in my .02 cents: 1. I do junk haulin ,scrap metal,yard work ,moving,and and had some scrap metal and a couple piles of stuff in my backyard. Fact: You can't operate a business in a residential zoning. If your home is not your business location, then the stuff needs to go to the business location. 2. So city puts notice gives me 90 days to cleanup. Fact: In my City a coutesy non-legal notice is given to the homeowner. If in 7 days no action is taken to abate the problem, or we have not been contacted by the homeowner with some sort of game plan for cleanup, we have the right to post a 10 day notice on the property, and send a certified letter to the homeowner. Again if after 10 days no action is taken to abate the the problem , the City will enter the property and clean it. A lien is then filed on the property for the cost of abatement (not cheap). 17 days and we are done, and you can't pay your taxes until the lien is paid. 3. I know this is my own fault. Fact: You are absolutely correct. 4. Geeze its just trash. Fact: Correct again. That's why they adopt ordinances addressing it. 5. I keep calling code enforement and always get voicemail never a call back . Fact: There is a Code Enforcement office. Maybe you should go visit them. They are not picking on you. I can assure you your not the only non-compliant property in the City. They have a lot to deal with. 6. Advice needed. Fact: Clean up the mess and your problems with the City will go away. [/QUOTE]
