Then there are those who pretend that this has something to do withwithout permits and don't get caught...
For the actual work he did, it seems silly for him to go to jail
over this, however there are a lot of people out there doing things
to their homes (house wiring, structural work, etc.) which will in
the future be a danger to people other than themselves...
Robert said:Part of the problem was he built his fence on city property.
JoeRaisin said:Quoted from the article:
"When Linares asked the city to repair the white three-railed fence behind
his house, he was told it was on his property and his responsibility. So
he replaced the termite-infested planks. Then the city reversed itself and
said Linares had illegally built the fence on city property."
They way I read it he didn't "build" the fence at all. The city should be
thanking him for fixing "their" fence - which was already there when he
moved in.
Typical bureaucrats...
Just to enlighten you to my frame of reference when it comes to dealing
with this sort of bull...
HUD repo'd the house next to me about two years ago (it's still sitting
vacant). This spring they complained to the township that I had cut down
trees on their property. The township took their word for it and sent out
some flunky to threatening me with destruction of property and some other
crap.
Nobody bothered to take a look at the property line drawings located in
the county office right down the hall. Had they done so they would have
seen that the trees were at least ten feet on my side of the line.
Instead of the check to cover replacing the trees I sent in a copy of the
platt(sp?). Haven't heard anything since.
has not been there long enough to gain squatters rights. We sent
them the first certified letter yesterday. If they hadn't refused
to recognize reality I would have just ignored the 8 inches of
intrusion. Now I may have to demand they move their fence at their
own expense. For shame.
