Day 31.
The "Handyman" business is still being
illegally operated out of 409 W. Sycamore
Court.
Just because the "dumpster
with customer garbage stored in it" is gone
for now, doesn't mean that this renter is
not continuing his business with the
"Handyman" truck.
The"Handyman" truck comes at
all hours of the day including weekends.
I have taken a few pics off
and on, since mid September. I have
even complained of this "Handyman" truck
doing business in our neighborhood, before.
This is just a repeat of the
Mr. Rooter business that still has trucks
stop by his rental house to get supplies
during the day.
City Council and Code
Enforcement has no control over these
illegal businesses in a residential
neighborhood, which is against District
Categories.
The dumpster left last night
with much noise to upset the neighborhood.
Thanks so very much for
making these renters running an illegal
business out of our residential neighborhood
causing an uproar late at night.
However, I am sure the
dumpster will be back later on today.
I will be sure to take a pic
and send it to you folks, if that happens.

Our

City Council allows Code
Enforcement to break our residential
laws for favoritism. It is also
against our ethics code for public
servants...you folks.

Updates will come daily
until this is cleared up.

"Last night we heard from the owners of the truck.
It belongs to
a couple who
recently moved
to Louisville
and who just
purchased the
vehicle.
The husband
and wife are a
little
distressed
about why the
selective
enforcement
against
them.
Commander
Kingston will
speak with
them and
convey our
assurances
that this is
all quite
routine and
innocent. "
This
quote is from
a May 25, 2012
e-mail to me
from Bruce
Goodman,
Police
Chief.
He knows the
rules.
He applies
them when he
wants.
He is a
bully.
He does not do
his job that
he is paid to
do. He
should be
fired on the
spot. If
he did his job
correctly, the
first time he
contacted the
owners, he
would not
be
backed into a
corner to save
face.
Now, he will
not do his
job, just to
try to prove
he is correct,
when he is so
very wrong.
