Fences Compliant With Municipal Code 13-276 Make Good Neighbors
-
In Hollywood, Florida, which is a fairly large town, they have a shortage of city workers to flag code violations. What to do? Well, the city is actually asking for people to snitch on their neighbors, going so far as to train volunteers to snoop on the people next door. The volunteers can't write tickets, but they can issue unenforceable notices that a real code enforcement officer can follow up with a real ticket. Would you turn in your neighbor for a code violation? If the guy down the block isn't cutting his grass often enough or puts the trash out too early, would you really tell on him?
