Rustang vs. City of Chandler
#1
So I got paid a visit today.
City of Chandler code enforcement was at my door letting me know that the Mustang had to run or it needed to go away.
It has all its body parts still attached to the car and is under a cover parked on a concrete slab. two of the tires are flat but Im working on that.
When asked if it runs I said "Yep." He said "I need you to start it". I politely declined.
I now have a week to figure out what I am doing with it.

Options:
1. build a fence around the car.
2. Get it to run and drive in a week. Anyone have $4K they want to give me?
3. Get a citation and go to court where I will plead my case.
4. Move the car. (I cant put it in the back yard due to the side yard not being wide enough. Truck project is in the garage)

I did read up on all the rules for having a car at the house.
Ongoing restoration project. A project involving a single vehicle or machinery that is kept in a clean and neat condition during the term of active repair and rebuilding.

Must be behind a fence 5' tall.

This is what they are hitting me for.
Any inoperable vehicle, or parts thereof, outside of or under a roof area not enclosed by walls, doors or windows of any building on any lot, except the safe and neat keeping of:
a. Substantially complete inoperable or unregistered vehicles with inflated tires under the roof area of any building as long as the vehicle is kept covered.


Build a roof over the car?

I vote fence just to piss off who ever complained..

I would EGG ALL neighbors. this way you get the one who did it and piss off everyone else. they would wonder who did it. My two cents LOL.
Put it at Avis dads house. he likes project cars taking up his garage for years. LOL

I honestly dont know what I would do other than move when you can or just piss off the person that likes to complain about you and make them move out. Then become best friends with the person that rents the house. I did exactly that.

I know who reported me. I just need to find a way to beat Chandler.
#7
can you make it count as lawn art? is there a law against that?
#8
Hit me up on MOC at work tomorrow. I don't know if I can offer a solution or not.
