Abatement Complaints from Neighboring Properties

Abatement Complaints from Neighboring Properties

Many government run abatement districts for various things and they operate their enforcement on visual annual inspections and from complaints. Who complains? Well neighboring properties complain if they believe it posses a risk or if it is an eyesore, which affects property values in the area, which the neighboring owners would not consider a good thing.

Some may find such methodologies rather unacceptable and dismal considering that if your neighbor had a conflict with you for some reason they would call you in for everything from your dog barking to the weeds you did not remove come fire season. Nevertheless this is how it works and most code enforcement officers, except the BTK Killer in Wichita, understand these issues and complaints and use their best judgment in dealing with these things; the human side if you will.

Such a system could be considered self policing thru neighborhood tattle tales, yet in the end if your neighbor turned you in for failure to cut dried brush or weeds prior to fire season, he inevitably would be doing you a favor as your property and his, which he has a vested interest would be safer from destruction.

Abatement complaints from Neighboring Properties works only when people are willing to call in issues and if too many people mind their own business, then property values will drop and all maybe in jeopardy if or when a more serious event takes place you see? Consider this in 2006.
