Code Enforcement Attempts to fine resident $4520 00 For Tire Low on Air

@@charlottecountysgreatesthi3331That's so true, I had some Karen file a complaint on my van because it had a flat tire in my driveway. I pumped it up and slid a brick under the control arm until I could fix it and the inspector signed off without even getting out of his car. I've got a problem with them right now and they don't seem to care about fixing it. I had a notice back in July and went to court in Aug and was only fined $25 but they charged me 3 times and haven't fixed it yet, my solar installation has been on hold since Aug because of their errors in bookkeeping and don't seem to care about fixing it. they just keep transferring me to different offices because none of them know what their doing except how to rip people off. They keep telling me they're backed up but backed up doesn't mean they don't have to fix mistakes, I'm waiting for a reply from my US Senator about fixing their problems in his district.

[@aaronlandry3947]

Code enforcement is no different than an HOA inspector. They exist merely to write up perceived violations and to extort money from you. Whenever I have seen actual code violations that cause a real safety hazard and reported them it takes over a year before someone ever shows up to look at it. But BS like this and they hop on it immediately, sending a code enforcement officer to look at someone's vehicle and send them a $4,000 fine for having a tire low on air.

I have a 6ft fence surrounding my property, I also have stalking neighbors (plus other issues).

Mysteriously all my koi died in hours one night with chlorine being detected in the water. I drained the water and have been pumping the rainwater out on a reasonable basis, but rarely much in the pool and not green. I have to go into a special magistrate meeting today due to $500 a day due to non-maintained pool. The code inspector is not assigned to my street, but a street over. Only one picture shows water in the pool (after a hurricane, go figure) and the water is clear. All other pictures show the pool as being empty. The pictures also show the code inspector's camera being held over the fence and into my property. At no time did I allow him on my property and refused to talk to him since he is not my code inspector, who I have spoke to previously with no issue. My most recent experience with law enforcement was them pulling their gun on me and them making a false report as to why gun was pulled...this being on camera. I'd like to know your opinion on the situation of unlawful search as a reasonable person would not be able to see over a 6ft fence, it was known the pool was a koi pond due to stalking, non-assigned code enforcement officer on case, and no evidence of a green pool, but still charged $500 a day.

When the board and code enforcement officer were confronted with this obvious code violation, their response was to issue him another two-year permit and considered the matter closed. That was almost two years ago and the front of his house still has shown no signs of change to be in compliance.

I was a code enforcement officer in Washington State. I would NEVER have wrote this guy up. I always felt it was important to work with people in the community and not bully them around. Shame on him!!!

I bought a "street" of homes and asked CE to come out and tell me what I needed to do ASAP as there was a list of violations during the owners bankruptcy (they were a mess). She was nothing but helpful and I tasked a crew with taking care of it. Worked with her for months and she was super professional. On the other side I got ticketed for having too many bikes (16 in a 8 rack) in a rack at an apartment complex. There was a baseball game across the street that day and the kids parked in my lot because of our security - tossed out in 5 minutes -The hearing officers comment - "Really?".
