Evil neighbor keeps complaining petty issues to municipality
Hello,
I have a neighbor and it looks like they don't have anything worthwhile to do in their life and she keeps complaining directly to the muncipal authories about any petty weeds or shrubs that grow on front of my lawn. Over the last five years the muncipality has not been stringent with these petty issues.
I received warnings and fines from court this year too many too soon this year. I am on top of cleaning up all shrubs ,grass,weed overgrowth but my other neighbors are not and their overgrowth overflows into mine because the neighboring homes are less than 3ft away
and I don't have the capacity to clean up their mess and the lady as well as the muncipality convenienyly keep targetting my property for my neighbors mess and to be honest it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but unfortunately I am facing the brunt because of that miserable neighbor who instead of dealing with her own crisis is trying hard to be punitive on her neighbors, how should I best
address this issue? Appreciate your inputs
Thanks

Is there anyone at the municiple level that you can go talk to? Often a friendly face is less likely to get fined and harassed than just an address.
