Code Cites Kids Garden for Bolted Head of Lettuce

[avs]

Over 40 Notices in a 4block radius.  4 code officers in a 4 block radius.  Each Notice also gets a ~$5+ postage certified letter.  I think the news lady said there were around 400 Notices in that time period.  The postage and man hours are sure a waste of tax payer money.  Our side yard received one and a supervisor dismissed it and said it never should have received one.  How many other Notices never should have been issued?  How much additional money was wasted.  And continues to be...?

All those Notices became litter in the gutters.  Nice

An east Springfield woman received a notice last Thursday for trash in her yard --debris she is cleaning up from a fire which recently destroyed her home. She is working in getting estimates from contractors and slowly cleaning up the interior. 

So imagine her surprise when contractors hired by code enforcement began cleaning up the yard.  And to do so, they knocked down a portion of her fence to get the equipment in.

She called JSO.  Three cars showed up.

After much heated discussion, the contractors and the city left, but not before returning a wheelbarrow full of trash to her front yard.

"The letter said I had 15 days and I only received it last Thursday!" she said.

As the contractors drove off she yelled after them "I"M NOT PAYING FOR THIS"

Dercel's house in on the blight demo list just sent out for bid.  Needless to say, this is news to her.
