i hate my neighbors, they called out a city inspector and he said that i had to remove the sideing that i put up for a temp roof to store a few things. i layed some sideing from my fence to my roof. i do know that i have to get it off of the house , but they said i cant build anything between or within 5 feet of the property line. its about 8 feet from the property line to the side of my garage. they even made me take down a boat canopy that i just bought from home depo for 350 dollars, that was covering my boat . im a supervisor for a fairly large landscaping company, and have been for allmost 18 years. i deal with city inspectors often, is this guy f***in with me or is he telling the truth. what i need to know is can i put my boat cover back up. and can i atleast make me a patio type cover between my garage and my butt hole neaghbors , if so what would i have to do if any, and if i cant why not . thanks hopefully someone can help me cory santini, stockton california

I don't know about in your area, but in most you should be able to go to the county website and look at the ordinances for your county. (If they don't have a website try to call the the planning and developement dept for the county, that's where the code violations for our county are located) You might be able to find a whole list of code violations. My husband and I have had neighbors call about us a couple of times (the 1st was someone on the other end of the neighborhood that was selling their house, we never called about the 2nd) The officer that showed up the 2nd time told me they were doing a sweep of the whole neighborhood and if we noticed anything our neighbors were doing wrong for us to call about it; he said we all had to work together to keep our county beautiful...although I see many of my neighbors with the same things we were warned about, I guess I'm suppose to call about my whole neighborhood?? I won't, but I will mention it if they come back to me. I hope this helps.
