My house..and the empty lot next door.
I am in negotiations with the owner to purchase the empty lot.
However...it would appear that in 2011 I pissed off a fellow down the street over a dog issue..that my dog wasnt even involved in. So he made a complaint with the county. I was notified by the inspector of it in 2011..and told to keep it cleaned up etc and nothing more was said.
Suddenly..on May 10..I get a 7 day warning from the county. New lady inspector..who has little empathy. She claims that cargo containers are a "no no" here in the unencorporated part of the county (dispite them being all over the place) . So I had 7 days to pull it out. So I mowed, cleaned the lot again, removed a boat and a trailer and put it as the photos show.
She said I was "illegally dumping"..despite having the owners permission. So this morning..she shows up with 2 deputies and advises me that I have until 2pm Wed afternoon (24 hrs) to clean the lot off else Id be cited for "illegally dumping" and the county would clean off the lot.
Im scrambling to find a place to put the cargo container...but the forklift is still down, Ive got ZERO money to move it or to fix the forklift.
I called and left a message with the supervisor and one with her that Im working on it..but need 30 days.
Now what are my options?
California of course.
In a dying area where there are more empty lots with for sale then Carter has pills. The last photo is of a typical lot in the area.
