City Claims 90-Year-Old Man Illegally Operates MY Dumpster Business: WHAT?!
ฝัง

- The city officials are confused and have no evidence to support the claim that a 90-year-old man is running My dumpster business from his house.
They have issued a ticket to the old man, but he is unaware of the situation and has no idea why he received the ticket.
The city officials are trying to push the situation with no concrete municipal code to enforce, but plan to take him to court.
They have no concrete proof that the old man is involved in any illegal activity and were a little too hasty to issue him a citation.
It's been a day! Dealing with the good old fashion government, they always want to make it interesting. Heaven forbid the pick up the phone and handle something civilly.
Every time you drop a dumpster there make a bill out for 1 dollar to your granpa and set it up like you are renting him all the bins lol. And when the city comes you can say yes i am renting him those bins.
Haha I love it
This is a great idea!
Especially if each dumpster is numbered to include on the bill and your documentation.
That’s fraud…
@@mrtahoe No, not really. It's a business transaction. The grandpa's bill can be paid with cash.
The only time code enforcement does anything is if there is a neighbor complaint; or worse someone that works for the city (manager, mayor, or even one of your competitors).
Sad facts
Exactly what I was going to write. I know this first hand. We are on 10 acres and prior to having a permanent structure a neighbor whos over 1400 fr away called the code enforcement on us for having a camper on the property. Come to find our he works for the county. People can’t help themselves. Good luck, if your county folks are like mine you’re in for a ride.
Fake invoice.. he is a renting them
I believe 1 of your competitors complained and they know a city inspector. The violation with the wrong address, should be thrown out because of the wrong address info on the citation. Sounds like the city inspector did a lazy job investigating this complaint. Because if they knew we're coming by the property several days a week or more, then could have knocked on the door and left a message for you to contact them to get correct info or investigate properly.
Code enforcement are wannabe cops. They don't want to actually work, so they ride around and look for the "low-hanging fruit" to justify their existence!! "Look what I did! I got that menace to society pot-smoker off the streets." or "I got that criminal dumpster storage guy off the streets." Neither action actually helped society..
The problem is you’re trying to use logic and common sense with government employees.
Hahaha nailed it
You sir are absolutely correct 😞
who makes up the member of government employees? our neighbors and friends --- see my point?
you can't use common sense anytime with a government employee. I just tried yesterday and it was like talking to the wall. They only see their side and will never bend. Court if you are right is the only solution.
@@jimnh2ablenot always....I used the nextdoor app and the local news station and poof they were gone
Local government, in my experience, is a combination of corruption and incompetence. The victims are always people who don't have a lot of money to fight, and it's sad to see. You never see the rich having to deal with this, there's a reason for that. I do wish more people would stand up and put them in their place - they are supposed to serve the people, not victimize them. I hope this plays out well for you and your family.
There are people who want to destroy America. Local government, more people need to pay attention. They know the small business owner can't afford legal fees.
Take that agency to court and make them learn a lesson.
It will cost a lot they will target you for years tow your dumpsters lazy yes (the city) but fragile egos find a way around
@@rmel3798I’m shocked their egos can fit into doorways 😂
The city will win because he is using a residence to stage commercial equipment to save paying for a proper commercial site.
This guy brags about making money, which is easy to do if you don't follow the legal requirements.
The person complaining has a friend in the city.
Likely true
Explain to code enforcement that if they're going to not drop it, that you're going to pay a high school kid to drive street by street and any house that has a business name on the side of a truck or equipment at their home and take a picture. You're then going to file a complaint about every single one.
Don't do their job for them.
The guy that is SUPPOSED to be doing it is most likely some politician relative given THEY said an alderman (code for another useless politician on taxpayers payroll)
He's free to do so. None of them are doing commercial activity on site. This guy is staging commercial equipment out of a residence to avoid paying rent in a commercial zone. You can even get dumpster permits in most towns and just store them on the street. This guy is to cheap to do that and just wants to brag how much money he's making not following the law.
He's a spoiled whining brat that doesn't even bother to learn the requirements for running a business and instead makes up lies after he got caught.
Some people will always look for a reason to complain. It’s frustrating at times for sure.
Yep, always something
@@rollingopsI’d like to file a complaint about your local government 😂
Yup I’ve got neighbors like that! It’s amazing the lengths people will go to be a thorn in your side over something that isn’t hurting anybody! The best part of living in a small town is that even if you don’t know what your doing, somebody else does!!!🤣
Hahaha seems that way!
I experienced something similar to your situation. I took two days off, drove around the entire area covered buy the same municipality. I proceeded to take pictures of all the same situations within those boundaries. 642 to be exact. All similar offenses. Filled the proper papers to force them to investigate all 642 complaints. They either went to work for the next year or dropped the charges. Needless to say they didn't want to work that hard. All begrudgingly was forgiven
You say that dumpsters are moved in and out frequently. The noise and traffic form moving the dumpsters is probably the reason a neighbor complained.
Bingo
I agree. Early morning or late evening pick up or drop offs might be waking people up. Back up alarms are loud.
Yea, why would a business owner care about ppl when making a video about how incompetent the government is and how if they would just think a little harder, they could figure out their own issues. The irony
Yup. That's a neighbor complaint. Government just following up. I don't blame them for complaining with the extra noise .
Yup .He is trying to make it about something it is not and making lame comparisons,The enforcement notices went to the known party.The property owner.the dumpsters are on his property after the first notice no contact to correct the ownership question was made so they proceeded against property owner.Really all moot,either way the dumpster depot is likely not legal and certainly not winning him any new customers un that area.
Sounds more like abuse/harassment of an elderly person by local government. A bonafide complaint would have been made to company named on equipment.
No it is in face a hack business taking advantage of a person at risk and exploiting his property operating a commercial staging yard on it.
He admits thw owner doesn't understand what's going on.
This guy is a lying hack that likes to brag about money and playing golf instead of operating legally
To be a bureaucrat you have to have your common sense removed and have I'm only doing my job implanted.
Lol, that's a fun one. 🤣
In the UK they call that "jobsworth".
Democrats!
I hope you talked to the Judge's secretary and she was able to help you rectify this. I have known of things thrown out when someone could just talk 5 minutes to the judge.. You may rent a commercial lot so your dumpsters are all visible from the road. Put up a sign. "Dumpster view brought to you by "inspector gadget" and "alderman whatshisface"...
Sounds like competition calling in complaints or an acquittance of a code enforcement person.
I wouldn't be shocked
Never met a government official or representative.... That is capable of deductive reasoning or thought.... That why they work for the city, county, state, or fed...
This is why I always do everything out in the country because normally you're less likely to get bothered I got a friend that has a shop in town and he just works on his own vehicles and the neighbors are always calling the police on him just cuz his air compressor is running in in a building that he built with surround foam and everything to quiet down
It is the busy body neighbor who has nothing better to do in their free time....They likely call the city and complain so much it annoys the local officials. I had similar experiences. 🙁
Rough!
U handled the situation better than I would have. That's ridiculous to have ur grandfather right in the middle of that. Absolutely not handled correctly don't let em get u down brother keep doing you.
Glad you think so, too. I kept my cool as best I could so I could uninvolve everyone else!
Definitely do a follow up video on this I would like to see the outcome
Please keep us updated on this. I would love to know the outcome....and honestly the dumpsters aren't bothering anybody.
They acting like the dumpster are having parties until 2 or 3 in the morning!
But great continued success for you always!
Exactly, will do!!
What was the outcome?
Never met a politician or city employee that could think for themselves
I had the same problem. I have money so I had 4 rentals in the township so I only rented to sec 8 people and bought two more houses and did the same. There goes the neighborhood .They sent a note to a person that I was trying to buy her house that said don't sell to me and I sued them and they settled. Then I moved
I would give them a headache by going around and taking pictures of each place that has a residential house with equipment that has been business name on the side of it when you know it's not there at that address and just send a bunch of photos and say here I guess you got a lot of work ahead of you and a bunch of red and a bunch of red tape to do! Have A Nice Day
I love this
If you want to get cheeky, see if your grandfather would sell you the house. If there is another fine, you do not have to take anybody to court with you; it is all in your name. In the purchase agreement, you could have him stipulate who will get the house upon his death. This way no one gets upset about any lost inheritance.
I would also like to point out that, cities are underfunded. City inspectors have a lot of things to do, which means that they do not get a lot of time to do proper investigations. To be able to fight this out of court, you could go to the city planning office and see if they would grant the property a dual commercial and residential zoning and then you can fix the issue.
Any way, I hope that these suggestions help that you keep making the wonderful content that you have been.
James
Haha that would be hilarious
@@rollingops You do not even need a duel zoning. Go and ask the city if they want you to take your business out of their area or would they offer a variance. If enough citizens called for service and you said that you cannot service them due to the city code enforcement being unreasonable, your customers would do the complaining for you. Or you could service them but tack on a surcharge for the extra distance you have to haul them now due to the city code enforcement. Tell the story and that you asked for a varience to keep pricing down but the government rejected your offer. An extra fifty or a hundred dollars would get the customers to fix this for you. And you would be compensated for the extra miles until sorted out. Depends on how much competition in your area though. Just be sure to list the extra charge as separate and due to city rules.
Legal zone variance would require cooperation from nearby property owners. Build a fence enclosure and leave it vacant of dumpsters for a few months. Park a lawnmower in there.
If a neighbor has a valid legal complaint, you are the problem. You created it for Grandpa. It is his liability as it's his property.
Just a tip, you can get a lawyer to appear on someone's behalf. This way your grandpa won't have to be there. You as the business owner and operator could hire him to defend on both people's behalf. I don't know the local laws they might prevent this, but if you explain he is elderly and a non English speaker that the court would have to hire a translator for they should except it.
Quincy is a small town.. run for mayor and make changes. I am dealing with a similar central Illinois town that operates similarly.
Haha wouldn't that be hilarious. Trashman to mayor
@@rollingops You can do it... or find someone to do it. I"m telling you it's not uncommon for these elections to have 400ish votes and can be won easy.. door to door stating your case and what you would do to change things... slam dunk..
I'm dealing with a similar situation in my small Town. It seems like a lot of small towns are trying to become an HOA.
Does kinds seem like a fine line!
Small towns are scared of dealing with people and do the best they can to avoid any direct contact. During the pandemic I mailed my tax check to the township but my handwriting is lousy and they said they couldn't read it very well so they modified the numeric amount to be $7.00 less than the tax bill. They then mailed me a bill for the $7. They didn't tell me WHY I owed $7, they simply billed me. I called and found out and then mailed them a second check for $7. I got nothing back from them and just assumed they got the $7 and applied it. However they never got it. Did they call me? Mail me? Email me? Nope. Instead they sent my bill to the county seat for foreclosure. Could I go to the county and pay? Nope, pandemic, no personal contact. BUT I could go to the post office and talk to Postmaster Bob and mail it registered letter with a return receipt, for $8.14 by the time they added penalties and interest. All because they were too scared to simply call me or even write me a letter about the $7.
its not fear, it's literally a tactic designed from the ground up to steal from you.
Accountability with our gov't officials needs to happen...
The idiot city didn't even bother to try. Someone wanted money
Agreed. Lazy work
Sound like grandpa needs a long “term rental” on a dumpster.
You're not wrong!
Or 4 or 5 dumpsters
Take them to court and sue them for harrassment of an elderly gentleman.
You are NOT being unreasonable!!! It's ridiculous that the powers that be "assume" whatever without actually opening their mouth to talk to someone to find out what's actually going on.
Keep up the good fight, this is the only way that you and the rest of us can keep Government as honest as they should be!
Probably a rival dumpster company causing problems. Someone in local government may have a relationship with said rival company.
Always possible
Neighbors with too much time on their hands.
Must be
@rollingops so sad that you're to self centered to understand how disrespectful you are being. After seeing you comment that reply to the above comment. It shows just how little common sense u have. While making a video about others not having common sense. The irony here is hilarious 😂 😃
This story kind of reminds of a state grew up in and I left over 20 years ago before it got really bad. California. About 30 years ago they would tow a vehicle that could be seen from the street with expired registration. Then it turned to backyard. Then it turned to no working on vehicles in your yard or no inoperable vehicles. Obviously this turned into many bs code violations for about anything and everything after I moved. When I lived in Nevada I got a citation for having my box trailer on the street this was a city of 12k btw. My two cents get the violation on you and fight it but don’t throw a bunch of money at it. Basically get your point across that they are wrong and start parking your truck and trailer in the driveway of grandpas at lunch. I had a neighbor like that all they had to do was come talk to me instead of complaining. I did everything legally I could to irritate them after the first complaint.
IL is a pretty close reflection! Just a few steps behind it, it seems!
@@rollingops ya I’m actually living in a city now that is almost exact to the one I grew up in. If it turns into the same over planned and over regulated bs as that one. I will take the money and run lol.
Code enforcement is the Karen squad.
"You're not the property owner" Well neither is Grandpa, since y'all got the wrong addresses...
Lol solid point 😆
Seems to me someone is playing games here with you !! 😡 as a council member of a small village in Ohio we do everything we can to make contact which would include calling the phone number on your dumpster!! I hope you fight this . This makes me mad and I just found this on my utube feed
I'm happy to hear this from someone else involved with another city. Makes me feel less crazy.
Love your perspective!!! Agree, that would make me feel less crazy too.
🫶🤦♀️
New subscriber here and let me start by saying that I love your content. I think the city did what cities do.... they rush, send things through mail for documentation purposes and liability. It's great that the officer reached out when he sensed something wasn't right when he thought that your grandfather didn't understand what was going on. I would check with the code and see what the cities definition of "running a business" is. To me, there is a difference between a landscaper coming home at the end of the day and parking his truck and trailer for the night and having a truck and trailer swapping out cans throughout the day on a residential property. I'd personally knock on doors of the neighbors and see who it may have been who complained if at all. At the end of the day, it may be more of a headache than its worth attempting to keep things status quo. Regardless, I am hooked on the channel and hope you keep up the great videos and keep up the grind.
I appreciate you man! Yea, at the end of the day this actually ended up being a good thing. Even though my shop is outside of the area and adds some mikes. With us being out there so often and our cans getting swapped in and out, it has drawn a lot of interest into my company, because my shops right off the highway. So at the end of the day, I guess things like this happen for a reasson! I may buy a very cheap piece of land in this town though, just to store some stuff, especially if I expand. But we will see!
One of your father-in-law’s neighbors called that in. When they see you picking up and dropping off the dumpsters, even if it’s for storage, they consider it a business being operated from that address.
Typical government.
100% - also weaponizing the police officers as well, making them look like the bad guy - when in reality the officer saved me from a bigger headache. So frustrating.
the city wants to put a lien against the property and just collect the interest on the fines and foreclosed as a tax sale.
Perhaps one day the city or one of the members of city council will need one of your dumpsters, and you charge them double.. lol
Lol
In our city, they do home outside inspections once every 3 years. They are not allowed to step on the property. I'm thinking they couldn't read the side of the dumpster. Three dumpsters also makes it appear that the business is being run out of that address. The assumed the homeowner is also the business owner. You say they are empty, which would lead someone to believe it is a business and weren't there for self use.
Good luck Bro. Support you all the way.👍
When laws or codes are not evenly applied to everyone is when there is a problem. If it applies to you, it should apply to them. I'm not sure why a doctor's note wouldn't have sufficed why grandpa wasn't able to come to court.
That's a good way to put it....I never even consider a note and then going in to represent him. Dang
Typical bureaucratic inefficiency!
Inefficiency is my biggest headache in life, can't stand it. Whether it's my own or someone else
Countersue every time! Works like a charm.
My town did this to big trucks in the late 80s finding out that they were trying to get people who work out of there own property to buy there commercial condo garage units that there friends had built. The big truck guys said they same thing everyone with a commercial vehicle with lettering on it can't be parked at a residential property. Such as land scapers, plumber, elections and so on. Hope all works out for you.
It’s just like parking an RV or a large boat in your driveway for long periods of time. Neighbors usually don’t like it. Code Enforcement says if a neighbor complains you must park them in your backyard out of site. This can include yard maintenance trailers.
Yeah its just sad people dont have anything better to do than call and complain about literally nothing
For real. Much bigger problems in town you'd think
@@rollingops that just happened to my dad because he parked in the grass in his front yard. Building and codes came and told him he cant do that without putting rock under where the truck is parked. They also said they got complaints. I was like wow really...
@@dougbrawley6623 never fails
Have a simple question...is there another dumpster company in the area? If so, does the owner of that company have an "in" with someone in the city/town government. Could be a relative, friend, etc. and if so...that could be the "issue" that you need to look into.
The consequences of officials not using common sense.
It could of been easy
Even if it was for” 48” or not. I would not want to look out my window as a neighbor and see that for any amount of time
Hey I get that. But I mean people do have construction where dumpster sit for months. Would that bother you? Again not saying I was in the right for doing this.
Go to a town hall meeting and address it there, it's also about what ever fine they can get
Can’t keep property at your grandparents house these days anymore???
Apparently not my guy
It's your fine son, you caused this issue. Now pay the city and rent a storage lot.
Alright, "dad", you must of missed the point of this.
I don't understand why people care what the hell is in their neighbors yard. Just don't look at it.
Same, I'm not interested in my neighbors personally. But it is what it is
That’s fine until it becomes a flop house without trash pickup.
Man that is super frustrating when people can’t mind their own business! I live in a super small town about 1300 people. The kind of place where everyone knows each other, no one locks their doors at night yada yada you get the idea. If you years back the mayor decides to create a position of “city manager “. This is a position we had never had or needed before. Turns out, this person’s primary role was to bust people for anything they were building on around their property that required a permit. We had a wind storm followed by a lot of thick ice that ended up taking down a lot of peoples awnings, sheds and what have you. Suddenly everyone trying to rebuild these things (or just repair what was already there), got hit with a notice from the city for not having a permit to build! Thing was, a lot of these houses are spread out pretty far so no one knew who was ratting people out. The City manager’s daughter worked at the local hardware store!!!🤬😡. Small town drama man…. Once we figured it out, we were going to the hardware store and have long loud conversations about giant shops we were going to build, and how we were going to run the plumbing without the city knowing and yada yada yada just to supply her with false leads and waste her time 😂 Because fuck that guy! 😉
I am just wondering, Since Grandpa is 90+ years old, Would he be willing to transfer the Title of Property/House to Granddaughter/Daughter/son to you. But, basically Still Have Full Control over everything. Nothing really Changes for him at all. Just On Paper only. Since, He doesn't really Speak English that Well and Unaware of Situations some of the times.
Unless you do something like a Power of Attorney, Which would Give you or Granddaughter/Daughter/Grandson/son Legal Rights to take over any type of Legal type Contracts and Stuff. Including I think being a Replacement in Court instead of having to bring Him to the Court.
They're not going to call, ever. It's like the IRS calling. It doesn't happen. Philly's L&I will come to our property, could easily tell us right away in person but they send letters weeks later.
And storing containers on the property is part of your business operations, the property owner is always going to be the person getting the violation letters. The city has policies they have to follow, even if you think they're not following. And many people aren't confrontational, they'll be nice to you and not complain about your dumpsters there, but then call and complain to the city scout them.
Yep calling isn't legal process nor has it ever been. Claiming someone should have called shows this guy doesn't know jack.
He complains that proper process was followed.
Then he brags he's going to get violent in a city building because he got caught running a commercial staging yard out of a person at risks home who didn't understand what was happening.
I had a similar problem storing my boat on my property years ago, city said the land under the wheels had to be improved, so I got bricks and stones, set them level with my yard, continued to mow/weedeat all around it, but city still complained, forced me to move my boat into a storage, turns out my neighbor next door was turning me in, I decided to return the favor and turn them in for the green pool, mosquitos and algae and the city fined them multiple times and even came out one time and boarded over their pool. It happens, just move on, not worth your time fighting over this as you won't win.......
As stated, operating a business, banging metal containers, loud PTO trucks in a residential area was cited for operating a business which stored trash containers that revolved out of operation😂 they just need to watch this video as you state that you store containers there for continuous operation😮
Yeaaaa that's not what was stated, and the trucks don't run on PTO, but that would be nice lol!
Well said. The fact that he pointed out his trucks don't have pto but ignores the all the other shows his tru character. He's just mad he got caught and fully deserves some sort of penalty for his lack of understanding.
@@danielcase2189Fine. But the problem is, instead of addressing the business, which could have easily been contacted and resolving the issue, they blamed the ancient man and did not contact the actual business ... OK, maybe he's wrong on the noise issue (although there seems to be plenty of land around the place). The issue is, that the business should have been contacted and when there is plenty of signage on the dumpsters that indicate the business, and then just not caring that the person they're actually blaming has nothing to do with the business except to let his son in law park a trio of bins on his land ... it could and should have been handled better. I mean, jailing an elder because he didn't understand enough to even contact his son in law and tell him there's a problem ... Not a good look for the city. Especially when ... info, right there, on the offending equipment ... also, wrong address, which technically invalidates the entire citation. But would not keep them from kicking the door down somewhere and arresting someone ... Chilling.
I'd go to court as it may be the only way to find out what caused the incident. City personnel would have to testify under oath what the information was that they used to issue the citation. You could provide pictures of other homes nearby to bolster your claim that they were picking on you. Why were others not given citation?
Most people who have dealt with the legal system know that the "everyone else is doing it" defense does not ever work. NEVER. It may be applicable to civil litigation over selective enforcement and should be pursued in that manner after the complaint is resolved.
I worked Code Enforcement for 20 years. The city does not make any money off of that activity. It costs a lot more than it brings in. You may be personally offended with the process, but the bottom line is: you should have stored your dumpsters in a business or commercial area.
There may have been an error in the letter, not a big problem. If your grandfather cannot handle his affairs, someone from the family should be stepping in and handling all of his affairs. You can not pick and choose what should be handled. Someone, who knows what is going on in the world, should be opening all of his mail and responding to the correspondence. Don't blame it on the letter sender. Your family has some responsibility in this matter. You handled it the right way. It may have pissed you off, but the problem was corrected. There is not just one way to resolve these matters. Sometimes it only requires a knock on the door. Maybe it will take one letter. Maybe it will take two letters. Maybe it will require a summons. Maybe it will require someone to appear in court. That is the way the system works. It may not be pretty, but it usually accomplishes the task to clean up the problem. I had a compliance rate of 100% in one city I worked for. The other city was only 90%. That means 100% of the neighbors were happy in the first city and only 90% were happy in the other.
Many people do not want a government official knocking on their door. They find that intrusive. A letter is less intrusive and provides all the facts and the solution. If the Code Enforcement Officer went to your Grandfather's door and explained, in detail, the nature of the violation, and the solution, it is doubtful that he would have understood. He surely could not have explained all the information to a family member.
You did the right thing. Keep it up. The "Process" does work...most of the time. Thanks for helping him out, and keeping the neighbors off his back.
I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out. It's nice to see your perspective. Because I don't want to seem like a cry baby here, I like the constructive comments while I'm documenting my experiences.
Like I said in the video, "I get it, it's just frustrating". The fact that one neighbor can have their property looking one way for 20 years and the city can't get it under control. But they go after another neighbor with some empty cans.
But that doesn't give me the excuse to break a rule, I see that. Because it's a downhill slide for a community with a "well he does this, why can't I...". I do wish it was clearly written in the code because it is a very gray area.
I also was just aggravated that it took 4 different approaches, but not one involved calling the number on the can, which would of been easiest. But like you said, it's a process. In the end, their process did work, even if it was messy.
Appreciate your comment and watching the video! Hope you catch some of our better videos!
Revenue is revenue. It costs more to write traffic tickets but hundreds are written every day. The government employees get paid whether they write citations or not. The government doesn't care how much they spend, just what they bring in. The municipality wins when they fine and take your property
People. Your government at work. Some one with a relatives in the business he after your business.
Ooof...this does make me sad. I work with the elderly and disabled on a pretty frequent basis. The way all of our systems ignore the needs of our most vulnerable is the standard not the exception. If you don't have people who truly have the time to care for you, you're screwed in this country.
I would fight or at least file a complaint about it claiming discrimination since they let lawn care companies store their trailers on residential properties.
The whole idea of county code enforcement is revenue, so why would you waste time trying to contact anyone before issuing fines? They often have administrative kangaroo courts where you are automatically guilty until proven innocent. I was wondering how long it would be before your local government started harassing you a new business owner. To survive in my area I did surround my home with trees and bushes to hide my activities. Remember, the government is never, ever liable for incompetence. They face no consequences so why would they ever want to do the right thing?
Don't waste your time or money on an attorney. The county owns all the properties and they make the rules, you only lease it from them (property tax).
You're 100% correct. It's almost not worth it. Just need to go bigger and get another space.
Sounds like the municipality or whoever is involved in going after your grandfather for this is a competitor for your business and is just trying to cause problems
Always a possibility
@rollingops no hes right my friend is a landscaper and runs his business out of his home and his home office is registered as his home address he has alot of the contracts in his neighborhood why he purchased his house there needless to say it's a competitor who lives in the neighborhood he hired a pi to figure out who it was
Jealousy from Australia. Bad neighbour.
I'm jealous you're in Australia! In the down unda!
This is why you run for office and change these stupid laws.
Sound like an industrial business in the middle of residential neighborhood.
Yea, probably right. Behind grandpa's house you can see the factory smoke pouring out of the garage.
A totally understand your frustration apparently you can't do what you want with your own property I'm seeing a lot of this on TH-cam government saying you can't when it's your own land all I can say is hold in there I totally agree with you
Good work!
probably the neighbours...you said those containers are constantly being swapped out every 48 hours....people dont buy residential properties to listen to trucks loading/dropingoff dumpsters constantly
Nothing makes my blood boil more than zoning barking up trees and picking a choosing which trees. I agree they could of handled it better, I also agree with them on how its zoned and how it's being used but on that note I agree with you that the need to go after the lawn care guys too. I fight with zoning in the country at my parents place and in town where I live, both have me on their radar which is not a good place to be.
Oof so true. I just want them to leave me alone. So I don't want to complain too much.
I don't agree. We need to go back to your land. You do with it what you please. Outside of noise ordinances where you are diminishing the neighbors' enjoyment of their property.
Wow. Hate to see that they don’t do just a small amount of calling? Side note; could you share examples of contracts on rental dumpsters and the storage containers. I’m in Texas and wondering what type of charge should be on dumpsters and storage containers. Any and lol info will be greatly appreciated.
typical local government. The mayor probably has a dumpster rental business, that's why they want smoke.
Haha not that I know of. But who knows!
City/ somebody IN city government wants his house and needs to get him out so they can take it . That’s my thoughts about this kinda ineptitude. Corrupt politicians and Government at work
The first thing I’d be looking for is what code violation was actually cited in the letter. The accusation must be accompanied by a reference to the actual code violation. If it’s not, then they don’t have standing.
Most municipalities allow for someone to run a home based business as long as that business is not receiving retail customers at that home.
Check out those regulations if you’re still having to deal with this.
same problem with our personal tow trucks, after i told the guy kiss my arse, i went above the guy who wrote the complaints and talked to head lady. told her same thing, my property and i do what i wants on all my properties. im not paying no stupid fines and thet not allowed back on my properties. been 7yrs and no more warning or nothing and inspectors just wave as ride by. code inspectors think it what they say, not what law is.
Kind of funny when the software was blocking your nose like a license plate.
Haha yea, still not sure how that happened
People who work for city and state and county think they are all above the law
Classic over reaching Local official . Definitely should be fought properly . Proper notice is typically Certified mail ,proving it was given to someone . Not sure about your state .
Agreed. I'd think that would be standard
Put a fence around it they can’t legally look behind it
100%
It's not negligence. It's complete laziness and incompetence.
Sounds like you need to have a conversation with the alderman, and maybe run for his/her office
Haha would that be a twist!
You need to go to a city board meeting. Call the press ahead of time. Point it out in front of the whole bunch.
Bring pics of board members biz trucks parked at their homes, that'd be cool, but bring pics of other biz owners parking vehicles at their homes, junk lot properties, better yet if run by slum lord. I got taxes on an lit w a uninhabitable home used for storage dropped to nothing pointing out local dlum Lord somehow had his rental properties assed at a fraction of what my empty house was. For the obvious reason he knows people.
I just came across this video I would have loved to be in that courtroom. When is case went I front of Judge.
Some people can't mind their own business,they have to cause drama
I'm sick and tired of people telling people that own their own property what they can and can't do on property, that's the reason they we buy the property
You would think that's how it would work. Between that and taxes, makes ya wonder if you really own anything
Zoning is necessary because you don't want to buy property, build a nice house on it, then have a night club or a open air fun range pop up right beside you. Business and residential areas need to be separate. You'd hate it if they weren't.
It's abuse of power. Bullying by any other name is what it looks like to me.
Sounds like a neighbor doesn’t like grandpop and has a friend in the city.
Sounds like a under handed sneakiness.
Give a little man (physically or mentally small) a little bit of power and he will often go bonkers with it. Commonly called Small Man Syndrome. It is the only way he can feel good about himself. I wish you well in protecting your grandfather.
Thanks for the informative and enlightening video! One ?? Why during certain times, why is there a blurred block in the middle of your face??? Not important but was just wondering. If I am missing a 'comment sense' reason?? I've never been accused if being bright!! Well, my dad did use to call me 'son' (sun) lol.
I’m trying to figure out the same lol.
