Thanks for the info. I too call code compliance when I see violations. The tree limbs, I understand. You're right, code compliance is very helpful. I am hoping that people in the neighborhood will be become more conscientious regarding the look of the neighborhood. The problem is, the residents in violation are not the ones attending the neighborhood meetings. I wish there was a way in which the whole neighborhood could be reminded to try and keep the streets, porches, front yards free of items that either are trash or belong behind a backyard fence (for instance, swing sets in front yards just look tacky), not to mention flatbed trailers parked in fronts of houses unhooked from vehicles. I even noticed a washer and dryer stored on the front porch of one house (code compliance has been notified of this).
I have enjoyed our neighborhood for over 30 years. It is very frustrating and heartbreaking to see the way some people are treating it. I only wish more people had common sense.
