Distric Attorney/ Code Enforcement issues with your cars?

I had them come down on me, they said that all the cars have to run. then I ask them if a could put my non running cars on my car trailers, they said no they have to run?? In my yard I cant have a non running car in my yard on my own car trailer. I told her that she was wrong,(she didnt like that) next she wanted me to sign a property inprovement plan, I told her that I would have to have my attorney look it over, that the last i have heard from them that was 8 months ago. i know 2 people in Riverside county that are sueing the county over there cars, both are in the millions lets wish them luck. whats funny is that you can have an old boat in your yard, but no old cars or parts, put they sure like to see them at cars show though. any body in Riverside having a hard time with code, get an attorney, and please call me 909-888-9045 thanks mike

 

Man alive!! That is shit load of bow ties. Maybe a vintage dealership sign installed would fake them out. Good luck with your delima. Have you seen the t.v. show on hoarding?? Some sickness are in-cureable!! ~Sololobo~

 

Wow great collection of cool cars!Tell them it is a outdoors classic car museum!and charge them admission to come on your property.

 

Come to Mass and you'll realize how good you have it.

 

Self-perpetuating Gubmint generating revenue.

If this kinda' crap had gone down right after the Revolutionary War...........there'd have been another Revolutionary War.

 

The other way to go about it is to enlist the help of the elected local official from your district, ward. precint or what ever the sub division might be. If you are a tax paying business in good standing with a couple of employees, and you papers are up to date and fees and assesments all paid up. Get a hold of the guy or woman, and have a conversation about how the added expense of this unnecessary hardship will lead you to lay off a couple employees, and may even lead you to look for another location, removing the property from the tax rolls in his /her district. Most of them will take up your cause to keep folks employed, keep voters happy, and keep people employed. Doesn't the DA have anything better to do than worry about parkinng areas???? Aren't there drug sellers and methlabs and deadbeat dads, and medicaid defrauders he should be worried about????

 

Since when has a "do-gooder" been a wacko? and why?

It's the Lefties that are the "do-gooder", government-in-your-face intrusive-types, believe me!

Ber-serk-ley, CA, is the ultimate example of this.

"Since when has a "do-gooder" been a wacko? and why?"

Because some folks on this forum do not have the intelligence to have an adult discussion without name-calling...

 

Another thought to add to this. Just as an effort to get your head around their actions, since someone filed a complaint on you you're put into the position of a "defendant" and your position right or wrong will immediately jade the inpector/officer's actions accordingly. The 1st action to contest is just that, you being put into that position. This is where it pays to know your rights and codes so you can quote 'chapter and verse' to that person giving them the required knowledge and support needed to tell the person who filed the complaint to fuck off and leave you alone. Well, we wish they'd say fuck off but you get the idea. Once filed though you gotta fight it. No choice.

 

Just read this whole thread and that should indicate how bored I am. One thought.............do you own a gun? No, I'm not advocating using it to solve your current problem. It's just another component of taking our country back. Keep all of this bullshit in mind the next time you walk into a voting booth (You do vote don't you?). Get your neighbors and friends EDUCATED about the issues, then vote. Next year we'll have the opportunity to bring about change that will reverse some of this bullshit and it will NOT put our country indebt for the next few generations, enslaving our granchildren and greatgrandshildren but rather put us back on the path that our founders anticipated for our country.
I can't wait to see how long this post will last. Only the furture will reveal how OT it REALLY is.

This thread is not about the Radical Right or the Looney Left. Let stick with his parking problem...

 

That's helpful...

 

Sorry, dude, the truth hurts. Look at any town that has a code-enforcement nazi, and I can nearly guarantee that that city is NOT run by conservatives. It's the way it is. No name-calling, just truth. Life's a bitch, then they take your shit.

 

This "Hoarding" problem has people always willing to gladly come and take this "JUNK" of my hands. I don't know why that would be?! The phone rings none stop, like it's the parts hotline an I'm Fred G. Sanford!

 

Thank you, I regret starting this thread when people cant refrain from typing, what some might be thinking, but just "isn't" worth repeating.

 

hay fishbeck, how your Dad, and uncle doing these days? used to see them all the time when I was in Berdo. Still have your bitchen 57?

 

I'll lay odds the chances that a town with a dickhead codes guy being run by the left or the right are about the same either way. A bully is a bully, regardless of their political orientation. It's true that by definition you would expect it more from the left, but applying logic to things like this is risky at best.

 

The code enforcer is just enforcing the codes. He/she doesn't make the laws.

 

1/2 the time they are wrong about the law and your rights. But I do understand there jobs. But dont say you are going to take my parts and cars if I dont put them away. more people leave Caif than the people born here everyday.

 

Same Ol Same..

 

Sorry but like I posted before Bakersfield and Kern county are run by 99% conservatives I'll say republican if ya want and we have people out everyday lookin for an old car parked a backyard.
Neither party is concerned about our rights.

 

Time to move the bisnuess, then turn the property into a half-way house for released sex offenders. I hate the city!

 

Ever been to san marino?

 

Yes...That's a very good example. Too bad others on here continuely ignore the facts.

 

I live about three miles from San Marino...the cops are more like valets for the rich dorks that live there. It is the most conservative city anywhere around here. You can almost hear Fox News blaring out of every open window. The whole world revolves around them, just ask them. In their park, there are signs that say that only residents can enjoy the park. So if you live across the street in Pasadena and go over to the park to read a book you can be arrested. Up until a few years ago, if you were driving a commercial vehicle (plumber, carpenter,etc.,) and were not a resident, you could get a ticket if you were driving between 10PM and 6AM. The courts told them that they could no longer ticket people for driving on public roads (duh)
TO THIS DAY you cannot take your trash cans out to the street on trash pickup day. The trash men go into your backyard, get your trash cans, empty them into the truck, and bring them back behind your house. And, of course, you have to pay a hefty price for that. They do not want their wonderful city to have it's appearance spoiled with trash cans in front of the houses for a day.
You couldn't use the word "liquor" on a sign at the liquor stores. The law said it had to read "house of spirits"...no kidding.
Nothing more ugly than a whole GD city full of rich, obnoxious, holier than thou, self-serving, Porsche, BMW, MB driving snobs..you won'y find any Detroit iron sitting in their driveways.

 

When I opened my business, I got a letter from the city that I needed to comply with a list of improvements to meet the city's minimum development standards. Anytime a change of use occurs at a particular property this happens.
Some of the things were ridiculous. Adding a bike rack, marking parking stripes, had to take out one of my entrences that was to close to the corner, pay to have it replaced with sidewalk, put slats in my cyclone fence that was around the backside of the property to obscure it. Also had to put in a $550 filter in the storm drain. I fought it for over 14 months, on the basis of what I was doing was auto related and did not constitute a change of use. I kind of thought I had it dealt with, just kept asking for extensions, then I just left it for a few months, finally got a notice, had seven days to turn in the paper along with the $800 app fee. Followed with 30 days to do the work. I did it. All in all it cost me about $6000.

Had a friend go thru an issue at his residence. A city official came to him and asked if he could go in his back yard to look to his neighbors area, his neighbor has shit all over his front and back yard, so he didn't think anything of it. After seeing his 15 or so cars behind a wood gate, completely obcured, he is now on the hit list, every thing but one has to be licensed, nothing in the carports, or on trailers. Every time she comes out to check him off he has everything dealt with, she finds something else. He had a truck with scrap in it to take to the scrap, he called her to come out and she had already driven by earlier that day and seen it and said she wouldn't pass him because of it. The even pulled his property up on google earth. His property is on a road with three houses on it surrounded by industrial businesses, and zoned industrial.

The shit won't stop until a judge decides.
I read about 80 percent of the thread before posting, is there any update on the situation, or how you attorney is liking your chances? Good luck. Joe

 

My friend that is in the zoning dept here where i live says(In the eyes of the law)your pictures on here show that they are not on pea gravel.And said you should scrape off the grass and put in a parking area with pea gravel before court.
New pictures with all the cars on the pea gravel makes you case stronger than seeing them sitting on grass (it dosent matter if there is pea gravel there with the grass growing up thru it .In court it is always going to look like grass in the pictures to a judge) So if you are grandfathered in you need to be up to code is what he said,all pea gravel.(no grass in parking areas,no cars off pea gravel and you should be up to code)
A picture says a lot to the judge.If he see all cars on pea gravel with no grass under them and knows you are grandfathered in,you should have no problems.

(Please note that i am not trying to be a jerk,just trying to help you with your problem.Thats why i ask my friend that does this kind of stuff for a living)

Good luck,
Steve

 

I feel your pain, I live in Chino and the city has been on top of my ass for months now! They told me Im not allowed to even work on my car in the driveway!

Somebody in code enforcement has a hardon for me, they check my house all the time. California is bankrupt, and they are looking for every means possible to squeeze the citizens of the sate for every penny they can.

 

i had a old bag from 2 streets over call about my company truck parked in front of my house.she went around and asked everyone on my street about it ,they all like me cause i fix the crap...one of them came over and told me she was spooping around. not long after i get a letter from the city...

 

now that's just wasteful!!!! you might get a few hundred dollars in fines, while the cost of operating the helicopter is roughly around $1100-$1200/hr. unless they intend to fine almost everyone in the city, it's hard to justify using it. not trying to sound political with this one or my last one, this is more about fiscal responsibility with your local gov't.
