What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? new york
Can anyone tell me the scope of authority a town of oyster bay new york code enforcement officer has? I had a code guy respond to my home on a anonymous to me complaint so I'm not really sure why he originally responded to my home but he cited me for a violation (I live in a waterfront community where a lot of people keep their boats on a trailer in their yards during the winter months, but it seems mine are an issue.) when I became suspect of the alledged violation as it did not seem reasonable. (there is a real peice of **** boat on blocks in the front yard of his neighbor, my stuff is in my backyard. ) I requested he provide the applicable town codes I was in violation of and he became so abusive and tried so hard to not give me the information that I actually went out and bought a video camera to record him. He threatened me with additional summons based in his observations if I persisted in requesting the code information. I know the code officers are re-active as apposed to pro-active in oyster bay but can they respond to one complaint and then go one a witch hunt on your property? thanks for any responce
