I was guessing it was sheclown, but did not know for sure!

Code enforcement is indeed, complaint driven via the phone calls and ecare tickets...plus they have their inspectors driving throughout the area looking for violations. I see the one for Springfield quite often as they're riding around, posting violations, taking pictures...

amazing....my neighbor gets away with having a construction trailer in his backyard (the most horrible looking thing) and adds additions onto his house (himself, no permits, i am sure of) and somehow code enforcement misses it. I on the other hand wanted to have a small 10x10 shed built and you would have thought i was building a freaking house! some follow the rules, some don't or should I say some are just allowed to get away with things.

well another interesting scenario,, Back around 1995, Myself and some friends repaired a garage behind my Grandparents home in Ortega. We got the proper permit and was instructed to place it in plain view so that the inspector could check the building when we were finished..We did exactly as asked. To my knowledge , no building inspector EVER came to see the garage, because it was never signed off on , and we sold the property after my grandmother passed on,  with the permit still hanging in place, unsigned.  The Garage was Stuccoed to match the house ,by the next owner.
