Long story short... Someone knocks on our door today at 4:00 PM and says that the city is coming over to do an inspection of the property tomorrow at 9:00 AM.
SERIOUSLY??? Less than 24 hours notice? So I post on Facebook about it, and one of my friends who used to do inspections for another town tells me that it's perfectly normal. Something about making the house is in safe and sanitary conditions, keeping slumlords down, etc. She also informed me that the city is required to give at least 7 days notice, so why am I hearing about it less than 24 hours from when they're going to show up?
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to hide (except the dirty laundry and the mess) but I feel like this is a total invasion of privacy. I mean, I'm not keen on the idea of someone coming in to this house and poking their big nose in my personal business! Good thing I have Second Amendment rights, because I can GUARANTEE you that the shotgun will be on prominent display.
I can't even put into words how frickin mad I am right now!!!! UGH!!!!
