Hello, all! I wonder if anybody has had runins with TOB Code Enforcement. I have a Town Employee neighbor with a McMansion who obviously doesn't like my almost 90 year old, simple house. He apparently hooked up with my rear neighbor who has a LARGER Mc Mansion and have been complaining about my back yard. Front yard is fine. This started about 2 years ago with knocks on my door every 6 months or so from a nice guy from "Town Planning." Nothing was ever done because even though he asked to see my backyard because "neighbors were complaining that they see mice and rats" and it must come from my property. Mice and rats in TOB; really its mentioned in every social media post throughout the whole township. But I guess they are all coming from MY back yard, WTF!! But, I digress... It seems that this nice guy retired. After I was diagnosed with lymphoma last October, got a new one who just came by and said the same thing. Of course, I didn't engage with her. Next morning at 7 AM, she tapes a Notice of Violation on my front porch door. Nothing was said about my yard; just that I had a too large shed in the back yard and I didn't have a permit for a 40 plus year old wooden fence; it's about 5 ft tall. The problem is, you can't see the shed and the fact that it has windows on the front (which she mentioned), unless you look out the upstairs window of mr Town Employee. She didn't inspect my yard; but this proves to me that he's the one playing games with me. Anyone have any experience with this type of BS? With my chemo treatments being rejected by my insurance cause they are "experimental", I don't have much disposable income to waste. Also, I am 72 years old and I just don't think I can stand much worry/stress. Owned this house for 44 years with no problems. Can anyone relate/advise? (apologize in advance for the length of this saga!) Have a good holiday weekend, everybody!!
