Code Violation- City Not Giving Enough Time?
I own in a Class C neighborhood where debris tends to be a problem. The city has code enforcement that drives around looking for violations, then notifies the owner via mail. In my particular instance, there was a couch and tree limbs in the yard. The time between the letter date and reinspection date is 8 days. Using USPS's delivery calculator, it would take them 4 days to send the letter the ~200 miles to my mailing address. Does anyone else think 8 days is an unreasonably short amount of time to fix code violations, even for something as simple as debris removal?

Call them explain the situation and you need more time, 9 times out of 10 they have no issues, this is my experience
