Im interested in talking to anyone who knows the inner workings off the Indianapolis department of code enforcement. We moved about a year ago and have had several issues. Id prefer not to give a lot of background but will try to help you all understand. We live in a fairly rural area (no neighborhood how or anything) in SE indy. I cut grass . I built a pole barn and installed a privacy fence when I moved in it took most of the first winter. The fence on my neighbors side is not done. They have chain link and we have talked and as soon as I get a chance Im taking that up and putting in wood privacy (we both have dogs, we get along fine but the dogs want to bark at each other and test the fence). Im getting violation letters that make almost no sense considering what is all around me. Its picking on things that wouldn't likely be an issue in plain view much less behind a privacy fence.
I am living with a knot in my stomach. We moved here to enjoy our life, we don't bother anyone. the first thing I did come spring was put up the privacy fence. My one truck is new (2014) the other is a standard pickup in decent shape. Im not noisy. As far as I know I get along with my neighbors, I talk to several of them. This is making my life hell and stressing me out bad.
Can anyone possibly help walk me through what to do? How to handle this? maybe what some of the rules are (I spent 4 hours reading city code, its not very clear, I think on purpose). There are literally dozens of houses within walking distance that are obviously engaged in similar stuff and are obvious about it. Would be willing to PM with someone who knows a lot about this. While I mean no offense Im not looking for personal horror stories, just how to deal with this if you have internal or external experience.
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you
