I know I know I know I opened up a can of worms by calling code enforcement. Trust me, you have no idea how much I put up with over there before starting to ask them about the music, and code enforcement I felt was one of my last resorts. I would NEVER, EVER, EVER call code enforcement on ANYONE ever again, I wouldn't wish that on anyone now that I've seen personally what they're all about. They called on me out of being vindictive. I called because I had a true reason. They were denying me to my right of enjoying my own property. And there's a big difference between my fines and theres. Mine are undeserving, theres are, they built those additions knowingly, I bought this place in good faith with the porch. It was advertised by the realtor as being with a porch. The shed...whatever. I'm glad most everyone here thinks that this is ridiculous and petty and hopefully someone in the office will have a heart and be understanding over the whole issue. It bothers me so much its the first thing I think about, very hard not to let an issue like this not bother you.
I apologize for my harshness.
The tone of your original post told me we were pretty much on the same page, it is the response here that changed that tone . . .
What people think should be right is usually different than what the law says is right.
When you took that step to call code enforcement, you should have been prepared to suffer similar actions in retaliation.
Calling code enforcement is not like calling the cops for loud music . . .
If this thread was about a BYC member having CE called on them, it would be filled with replies of people telling the member to call right back on the reporting party.
Just look at the bright side . . . your gonna have a brand new deck soon
Laurajean, this has been on my mind all day too . . . its not even my problem
