I guarantee 100% of those rocks in her tire are from driving on public roadways full stop. If you check your tires every week like I do, there is always small pieces of gravel and there will always be because they build the roads with asphalt ROCK mixes that degrade from thousands of daily drivers. If you don't believe me, check your tires. You probably gain a pebble and lose a pebble every day in your threads. She's "delulu" as the kids are saying.

If the inspector came out and used common sense on a dry day they likely wouldn't see the issue. In this case I do think it's overboard and the neighbor is just crotchety but if the code says one thing the code should be changed.

I have lived next door to my current neighbor and her family for almost 35 years in a NO HOA community. At this point, I consider them to be as much my family as my real family is. We have grown up next door to each other and have helped each other through numerous issues. From house repairs, to shared fences, to landscaping tips and so on. I feel really bad for the poor woman featured in this video.

And a bet that neighbour goes to Church every sunday and calls herself a good Christian.

[@MiskimVeniceJohnson]

Amen amen amen amen amen 👏 they are all like that. I run when people say I am Christian or come to my church.

[@handful65]

What a terrible old lady, harassing her neighbors that way, over and over and over. Whatever her real problem is, she needs to work on that and leave the neighbors alone

[@ginger6582]

Sorry you have such a creepy neighbor. Creepy neighbor probably drives on rocky roads. Is she going to sue the city for that too.? Your plants and rocks look beautiful and are not hurting anyone.

[@NerdsWorldNYC]

Put up a FENCE so she can't see into her yard...!

[@_darkseid_4490]

Extend the fence

[@mycatsgotpinktoebeans381]

Just sue the old lady for harassment and her weaponizing use of city code enforcement.

[@pinkvelvet3865]

What's wrong with that gumamela plant? Nasty old neighbor!!! Be nice you have only few years left in this world.

[@North_Texan]

I think the rocks and potted flowers look nice. Better than that dump of yard the old woman lives on.

[@CatWhiskering]

"bbbuh mah mErCeDeS" 😂

[@mikhellen3267]

Well, damn, the city for encouraging this petty Betty next-door, and allowing so many frivolous complaints to come through their office without telling her enough is enough!

[@dvandal674]

Those rocks are too big to really get stuck in street tires….just sounds like someone trying to control others…

[@nancyrogers8377]

Simple solution. Complete the partial fence that is there. This will officially separate the space.

[@dfigueroa788]

What she need to do is pull a permit and put up a fence to divide the property.

[@HiltonHoskins]

That woman is just plain out wrong. There's nothing wrong with that lady's yard. I think she's jealous because her neighbor has somebody and she doesn't. She's one of those neighbors who just wanna make everyone else miserable like she is, to make herself feel better. Instead of being a nuisance neighbor, she should try being a good neighbor.

[@ThaP8perDoll]

Agree!! 100%

[@supereight9221]

That would take having some class. So no.

[@kathleenardrey5094]

She should try keeping her nose, eyes, face, and sick brain off of other people's business. She is such a willful, frivolous, uneducated, and harassing creature.

[@ragepie292]

Yea nothing at all. So much that the news never shows her yard except for the front corner of if because they know to a mess with junk all over it.

[@holleyb7861]

That lady needs to get a damn life!!!

[@glep3570]

What a bully.

[@MileyonDisney]

We all know what the REAL problem is...

[@MA-mh1vs]

Should have just got a permit to pour more concrete to sit the pots on. No gravel, no problem.

[@vivalaleta]

That neighbor needs to mind her own business.

[@maryannedelaney]

This is what happens when you are so used to the landscape looking a certain way, you become the neighborhood police. I hope this woman finds justice. She is taking care of her mom and her son, and her garden brings her joy. I would have never removed the pavers, but she is trying to keep her happy. She has come to her wits end. Just worry about your own house.

[@nadine3734]

Agreed!!!!....Knowing who I am and how I work hard to make and beautify my front lawn...I would've NEVER taken any of that beautiful garden decor down just to please her. Trust and believe I would've given her some very choice words of mine and she wouldn't have liked none of them.

[@tomh-ph3dp]

Good Lord. You expect random crazy neighbors--it's the city that really irks me. Inexplicable and various enforcement drives me nuts. It's either code or it isn't. I think they do it because the crazy neighbor won't shut up if they don't cite her.

[@dmo848]

Your probably right. Crazy, probably calls everyday 🤣

[@kristinemorley4337]

HOA’s are always problematic

[@lindascharfe2950]

How ridiculous

[@Bebedollie]

That's ridiculous $100 a day fine

[@KoalasAreBurrs]

Omg. Please, PLEASE someone arrest her for wasting city resources. My god, there's no way that's not just nuisance complaints.

[@conscientiousobjector5988]

Arlene Edwards is the kind of person who doesn't deserve private property because she doesn't understand or respect the purpose of it.

[@lunatone3333]

They need to mind their own business about other peoples property. They wouldn't like it if someone did it to them.

[@unicorngj]

Bad enough to cross a Karen in a store, living next to one has to be ten times worse...
