Here’s the complete text of the proposed “code enforcement” law I talked about at last city council meeting. I think this will work, I had to scan it in. The city isn’t responding to any questions about it so far.
In addition to the other complaints, I also noticed something odd in the law. On page 8 it says you don’t have to pay the fees if you can get a Notice of Compliance. But look at page 12, it says you have to pay all the fees before you can get the Notice of Compliance! And if the director doesn’t feel like giving you the notice of compliance for any reason, his decision is final and can not be appealed! Ever.
And this is the just the “enforcement” procedures. We haven’t even considered what rules they are going to be enforcing. But suddenly, Manteca would be a giant Homeowners association with the code enforcer the chief busybody who can demand to inspect your home any time he feels like it?
p.s. I almost forgot, notice how many times it says if we don’t notify you of any violation, even if it’s the city’s mistake, you’re still guilty or if there’s a fine or fee, you still owe it even if we forget to notify you or for any reason you don’t get the notice.
