1.
My neighbor’s tree has damaged my fence. Can the city help me to get my neighbor to pay the damage?
No, The city does not intervene in anything relative to civil matters between neighbors.
2.
My neighbors have a paved driveway but park on the front yard. Is that legal?
No, if a paved driveway is provided on-site, front yard parking is illegal. On some older properties where paved parking was not provided, front yard parking is allowed.
3.
There is a house in my neighborhood that is occupied by two families. Is this allowed?
Single-family designation denotes that the structure itself is a single unit, not a duplex or triplex. Many extended families live together in a home. This is different from a boarding or rooming house and is an appropriate use.
4.
The grass in my neighbor’s backyard is over 12 inches tall. Can code enforcement help?
Code officers must be able to view a violation from a public street or alleyway. A code officer will still investigate the complaint and attempt to obtain compliance.
5.
My garage sale signs have been picked up. Why?
The permit that you should have obtained for your garage sale explained that garage sale signs may only be placed on private property with the owner’s permission. Signs placed on public rights of way, utility poles and medians are removed without notice by code staff.
6.
My neighbors leave their trash can at the curb 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Is this allowed?
Trash cans should not be put out any earlier than 8:00 pm the night prior to the pickup and should be removed back to the house within 24 hours after pickup.
