I got fined for putting my fence 19'8" from the sidewalk, when it is supposed to be 20ft. Out of the 8 houses on my block, 6 of them have fences within 10ft of the sidewalk, most within 5ft, and one is a foot. Mine is furthest back, looks the best, only took me a day to move forward, and I still got fined for multiple things like fence too close, no permit, gate too close to park a full sized truck in the driveway when it's closed, no walkway gate (I don't have a walkway). I also got fined for not tearing it down. I ran it over with my truck that night, and the inspector came and told me not to touch it again. Two days later, I got fined for having construction debris in my yard. Then, I had to spend $600 on getting a survey, three days losing in court, and still had to get the permits. Yeah, it's a racket
They even want you to get a permit to put a new toilet in your house

This is a result of not getting the proper permit. This would have been caught when you submitted plans and at that point you wouldn't have been fined.

I'm guessing this guy didn't check your knuckles before fricking with you.
