Oh...OK. I wanted to be sure, because wishing won't make it happen. Find out
who your town justice is and try to set up a brief meeting. Sometimes those judges think they can only be seen in the courtroom, on their thrones, but there are some who'll talk with you outside of that setting and tell you how to proceed, in order to get a neighborhood bonehead INTO the courtroom. "Suzy O" wrote in message ... What you said regarding backyard junkyard operations ...... " issue injunctions to force people to obey the law. That gives the cops the ability to take them away in handcuffs." Suzy O "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... You wish what? "Suzy O" wrote in message ... I wish. Suzy O "Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... In some towns, you can actually speak to the town judge, outside of a courtroom setting. Push him/her to take the law to its most extreme conclusion, which MAY involve having the town remove the junk and place a lien on the neighbor's home. Some judges will also issue injunctions to force people to obey the law. That gives the cops the ability to take them away in handcuffs. "Suzy O" wrote in message ... Couldn't agree more. We had just such a situation in our neighborhood. Neighbor of junker got fed up with looking at the crud. Even tho it was in violation of city ordinances, the city only stopped the problem temporarily -- over and over again. The junker's neighbor got a low ball price for his home. Anyone have any good solutions? Suzy O "Vox Humana" wrote in message . .. "Ann" wrote in message ... "Doug Kanter" expounded: Would it bother you if your neighbor across the street parked an old car on his lawn, left it there to rust for 5 years, and for whatever reason, there was absolutely no way you could block the view using plants, fence, etc? When I bought my house the next door neighbors basically had a junkyard in their backyard. Dead washers, dryers, three rusting tin sheds, a couple junk trucks, all kinds of tires, etc. Oh well. I loved my house. They've moved on, new people live there now, they've cleaned it up, life goes on. It's amazing what you can live with when it really doesn't affect your basic life functions, like eating, drinking, etc. Of course I'd rather not look at junk, but I'm not paying their taxes or their mortgage. It's basically none of my business. How would you have felt if you needed to sell your house while the neighbors had a virtual junkyard? I don't mean WANT to sell, but NEED to sell. What if, due to the trashy neighbors, you found that there were few people interested in looking let alone making an offer? The offers you do get are low-balls. That is a situation where it does become your business because the junk reduces your property value or makes your house impossible to sell. |
