So there is no appeals process or have you left that part out of your post? City councilman can be a real ally is such matters if you know the person?
Let’s see a picture of the tarps and plastic containers out in the yard.
I’d like to see how it really looks. Maybe it is time to keep them in the back yard, whether the neighbors would love to see them or not.
Wow! I bet you didn’t expect the responses you got on a site that you’d think wouldn’t espouse govt. tyranny.
What one finds beautiful and takes personal pride in may be an eyesore to others.....
“Local government poses biggest threat to freedom.”
Definitely the case here in NJ; our local property taxes are much higher than either our state or federal income taxes - and 75% of them go to our schools.
What ever you are doing RIGHT NOW, stop it.
Sounds like you’ve been vetted by Vetter.
What makes you thing I would enjoy ANYTHING you would be doing on your property? Dont drag me and my feelings into your front yard and life because you probably wont like me being there.
Follow the laws of the city you live in or pay the price.
I dont think federal, state or local laws should apply to me.
My flowers are pretty.
that I had get rid of things he didn’t like including

It was actually probably your neighbors who didn’t like the way the makeshift greenhouse looked on your front yard.
a few years back (6 or 7?), the local town code “officer” knocked on my door, said he was there to inspect my basement. why says I? proper egress he says, finished basements require 2 ways out. why do you think I have a finished basement I ask. he says lot’s of people in the neighborhood do. that doesn’t mean I do I reply. he says “that’s why I am her to inspect” I ask for a warrant. he says he doesn’t need a warrant. I ask if the law requires I follow this code, he says yes. I say that makes you law enforcement - which means you cannot enter w/o a warrant, for which you need probable cause. he left and never returned. BTW, my basement was finished at this time, including 2 means of egress....
"...tarps and chairs in the front yard..."
It’s considered bad form by polite society to doxx people you don’t agree with.
Since when is FR your personal army? Grow up
Right now you’d better be focused instead on humblegunner..lol
The flower guy should get the local newspaper or “on your side” tv reporter out to do a story. If not before the storm troopers arrive then at the same time so the inspector gets his mug on tv. Exposing cockroaches to the light, don’t cha know.
Shame on the posters who got snotty on this. Maybe they enjoy living in HOAs with Mrs. Kravitz as their neighbor.
Put the flowers back in your backyard and move on. Pick your battles.
Municipalities can and do impose ridiculous regulations upon properties within their jurisdiction. Back when I was looking for a move-up house in the early 2000’s, I’d found a really great mid-century house, classic low-slung, deep eaves, u-shaped plan opening to the rear with a kidney-shaped Gunnite pool. Radiant heat, just a really comfortable place with great flow in an appealing neighborhood, Old Starmount. Then, I start finding out about what the city can and cannot do. Cut a tree down, they’ll force you to replace it. Trim your crepe myrtles “incorrectly” and they’ll fine you. They actually have people driving around looking for this. No thanks. I still regret not buying that house, I loved it. But, I know myself. I couldn’t deal with the tree nazis.
