Celso Perez was helping his neighbors remove some fallen trees blocking their street when a county code enforcer rolled up and issued him a safety notice for having a downed fence. "I laughed," Perez tells WSVN-TV. "I thought he was kidding. 'You are kidding right? We just had a hurricane six hours ago.'"
It wasn't a joke. The official told Perez that the downed fence—which encloses a pool—was a safety hazard, and that if it wasn't fixed by the time he returned, Perez would be hit with a fine. The official then hung the safety citation on the portion of Perez's fence that remained standing, leaving him and his neighbors to finish clearing the debris from their street.
According to WSVN, the county has handed out 680 safety notices for downed pool barriers, and another 177 electrical hazard safety notices. Reason reached out to the county to confirm those numbers, but has not received a reply.

County officials don't see it that way. "It is important that we reach residents in the immediate aftermath of the storm," one tells WSVN, "because that is when conditions are most dangerous, and taking steps to protect life is a critical part of the recovery process."

Doesn't seem reasonable to slap people with code violations for at least a month or two.

You pull something like that in Louisiana and the parish will be looking for new code enforcers and the gators will have full bellies...

It would be useful to know how much time they were given. If he was pointing out things that could earn them a citation down the road if left unfixed, then, hey, good looking out. If he comes back to fine them in the next few days then it's an a-hole move by the city.

I would be hard pressed not to violate several criminal codes on that SOB.

Right. I agree with you. I just think including the time frame they were given would help determine intent. Either way it's not a good look.

In all seriousness, if someone had done that to me right after the flood I would be in jail for beating the shite out of him. Whoever that "enforcer" was I hope his wife cheats on him.

Should have snatched the son of a bitch up and thrown him off his property and told him he returns he's gonna catch an arse kicking and a trespassing charge.
