That happened to us after Katrina. We were ripping out wet sheet rock and wet carpeting, and pulled out the kitchen cabinets, but had done nothing in our bathrooms at that time. Along comes code enforcement while my husband was sitting outside on a pile of rubbish taking a bread saying we had a code violation of removing our bathroom plumbing without a licensed plumber. We had not removed anything and they had not even gone inside out house to see what had been done and not done.

I believe the problem may have been retaliation because I had written a letter to the editor of our local newspaper complaining about something our parish president had done in regard to the storm. It was about a few days after the letter appeared in print that the code enforcement officer showed up.

There was a time in American history when any code enforcement officer who tried this could have expected a lynching on the spot.

Good on them

The best time to see code violations is just after the storm.
in Miami the wind damage to structures was not too great. those that were damaged were certainly code violations.

I work for a county government. Inspectors are told what to do by supervisors who are told what to do by administrators who are told what to do by elected officials. So, like the charming Mikey Dukakis old Greek proverb says, “The fish rots from the head.”

Town depending on fine money to keep rolling in the aftermath. Scum.

Ah, another reason for guillotines.

And the Second Ammendment.

OK. Let' just start with a few hundred "You're fireds" shall we?
Then we can go from there.

The only purpose of zoning laws is for purposes of barratry.

That's why as Shakespeare once said, "First of all, let's kill all the lawyers..."

And they wonder why we despise government.

And all the functional imbeciles wonder how (and why) Trump got elected...

"It is important that we reach residents in the immediate aftermath of the storm," one tells WSVN, "because that is when conditions are most dangerous, and taking steps to protect life is a critical part of the recovery process."

Tar. Feathers. Fencerail. Obnoxious bureaucrat.

Some assembly required.

Wow and I thought our town’s zoning/code department was bad...that after a $250 fine for a blow-up kiddie pool. Sorry to hear, no good explanation for handing that stuff out at this time.

I think the mayor or alcalde or whatever the hell he is was bitching about global warming during Irma. These are the kind of ignorant scum running big cities now.
