I have never received a response and I have been a prolific complainer. Prolific complainer or not, homeowners deserve better treatment from the board and staff. 

For 6+ years three tenant occupied properties abutting mine have large amounts of junk and yard debris accumulating making my home look like I live next to a junk yard. I used to spend 2k annually maintaining the yard of my beautiful beach cottage. No more. If the CPI inspector accepts the conditions in my neighborhood, why should I maintain anything but the structure and just let the yard go feral?

For 6+ years I have asked for a copy of an enforcement policy and standards. How much junk is too much? Why is open burning allowed to within 200 feet of an occupied structure in violation of county law and no one can prevent it? Why is a neighbor allowed to keep a barking dog chained in the yard and it’s not considered a nuisance? There are some other conditions that have gone on long enough but I don’t want to go into too much detail in public, but, there should be enforcement of DR’s by tenants, not just owners.

I hate to admit it, but, at 73 I don‘t have the energy to go through an ugly trial. I see how poorly this community treats people who just want their rights and I don’t want to deal with the hate.
