Code is out enmasse in Springfield this week.  I counted 4 Code officers out today and documented at least 40 citations including the kids garden whose only over grown piece of vegetation is a head of lettuce that bolted because of the recent heat.  This is a targeted effort on Code's part.  The citations I photographed were all basically on 2-3 streets in Springfield and many of the citations are for barely overgrown grass.  One lot that was well kept had a tire in the rear that it was cited for!  Fines like this can add up just like demo fines. 

I don't know how to post pictures or I would.  I have over 40 pictures and pictures of the 4 officers with their car tags.

The Kids Garden is pure harassment.

To upload photos go to:

and upload the photos.
Once uploaded select "BB code" on the right and paste that in. It will look like

What's going on? Has this happened before? Is it an end of the month thing for quotas?

Is question who assigned them today, I have seen that garden get yellow warnings before. Someone obviously doesn't like the "community garden" concept.

Sounds like a dramatic waste of taxpayer dollars.

The kids garden has never received a citation before.  But when you couple it with all of these other citations, all within blocks of each other, there is OBVIOUSLY some targeting going on

Wonder when they will start code enforcement on visitors? Whenever I attend a community related event in Springfield (by invitation) I get asked "What are YOU doing here?" Reminds me of "The Californians" skit on SNL

Do these carry dollar fines, or are they warnings, or what?

these are typically warnings, but they can become $ fines up to $250/day per violation, and up to $500/day per property.

What is the ultimate goal for the Code people?
