Code read

Neighborhood associations around here are quick to advise the residents about the city’s Code Enforcement Division, a unit of Neighborhood Services which gives you hell for waiting three months to mow your freaking yard fercryingoutloud.

To accompany a story in the Oklahoman about the Division, NewsOK put together a database of this year’s code violations, January through October, searchable by type of grievous offense, by address or ZIP code, or by date. I note for the record that nobody on my block got cited for anything all year.

    Hmmm, they missed some. We’ve had over half a dozen complaints complete with letters from the city this year, yet when I entered my address nothing showed. Maybe the official “looking” complaints were forged?

    It’s possible, I suppose. Were there ever any legitimate reasons for complaint? (Normally you guys are pretty hygienic, so I can’t envision the place going to hell.)

    You might want to take this up with the Action Center at City Hall, just in case more such might be on the way.

    The complaints were all weird, remember the boat? “No one would own a boat like that unless they’re running drugs” (Yeah, from Texas to Okieland) and “Beagles aren’t appropiate for this neighborhood”. BTW, speaking of Beagles, I’ll be a grandmother approx. Feb. 7th.

    You need to keep your lawn mowed so you have clear field of fire when vermin appear.
