Joe,
The young guy that has lived next door to me for the past 6 or 7 years has a pile of old lumber and two sheds that the roofs have caved in on and all that is holding them up is the fence. A rattlesnake breeding place among other rodents. I have gone to the city repeatedly about making him clean that mess up and their first excuse was they couldn't see it from the street. I had the building inspector come over and walked out in the street and you can easily see that mess. Next excuse was the city doesn't have the money to enforce him cleaning it up. How dam much does a citation to clean up a mess like that cost them to write. My next step is going to be to call the County Health department as I would like that junk gone. I have already killed 3 small rattlesnakes this Summer from over there. So they just selectively enforce those laws around here as they do everything else.
Ron
