Folks!!!!!
Still
over 40 Days for Code
Enforcement allowing
the renter to operate
an illegal vendor
commercial business
out of a rental house
in our
residential
neighborhood. No
change.
When
are you going to
stop this illegal
activity that brings
down our assessment
values?????
Remember, according
to our "District
Categories" our
neighborhood is
number 4 ONLY for
residents living
only!!!! Our
neighborhood is
not numbers 7 -9
for commercial
uses.
Day 5 for
this week for
which I have
picture proofs.
The renter's
"Handyman" truck
comes very early
in the morning
so nobody can
see that this
renter is
operating an
illegal business
out of his
renter
residential
house in a
residential
neighborhood.
When are you
going to stop
this illegal
activity that
brings down our
assessment
values?????
That is
exactly what the
Mr. Rooter
business
did.
This was
happening at
6:23 a.m. this
morning.
The back end of
the "Handyman"
truck is open,
as it is being
loaded up with
supplies from
the renter's
house operating
the illegal
vendor
commercial
business out of
a residential
neighborhood.
The "Handyman"
sign is gone off
the worker's
truck. But
with a ladder on
the top it shows
it is a "work"
truck and not a
residential
truck. The
signs can be
seen in the 9-25
and 9-28 pics,
both sides.
Code Enforcement
has obviously
informed this
renter about our
"advertising" on
commercial
vehicles in
residential
neighborhoods is
illegal.
So the
"Handyman" signs
are gone off the
vendor truck
with the ladder
on top.
Mr. Rooter
does the same
thing.
They have their
white trucks
with no
advertising on
them come to the
house at
the end
of W.
Sycamore Court
to get their
supplies.
This, of course,
has been going
on
since 2012.
Code Enforcement
is obviously
telling this
"Handyman"
renter, that
folks in the
neighborhood are
complaining of
the renter
operating a
vendor business
out of a
residential
neighborhood
early in the
morning.
This "Handyman"
truck used to
arrive in our
neighborhood
after 7 a.m..
Then it became
6:50 a.m..
Now it is 6:23
a.m.. The
"Handyman" truck
is coming
earlier and
earlier, so I do
not get the
picture proof.
Why is Code
Enforcement
encouraging this
renter to
continue to
break our
residential
"District
Categories"?
Code Enforcement
should be doing
the exact
opposite.
My husband
says that
somebody in our
Code Enforcement
Department
obviously told
the illegal
vendors how to
skirt our City
laws. That
is so very
publically
corrupt.
Just
because you folks
got rid of the
dumpster, does not
mean that you folks
got rid of the
renter operating a
commercial vendor
business out of a
rental residential
house in a
residential
neighborhood, which
is totally illegal.
How
many
times do
you people have to
be reminded of our
City laws for
operating vendor
businesses out of
residential
neighborhoods?????
With
Code Enforcement
allowing this
illegal vendor
activity in our
neighborhood, it
also suggests
that others in
our neighborhood
can run an
illegal
commercial
vendor business
in a District
Category, which
is specifically
for residents
only, per our
City Codes.
When
added with the
illegal
commercial
dumpster being
allowed to be
able to be
parked/stored in
our
neighborhood,
this renter has
been operating
an illegal
commercial
vendor business
out of our
residential
neighborhood for
over 40
days.
Enough is
enough!!!!
The
renter's
"Handyman"
truck comes
very early in
the morning so
nobody can see
that this
renter is
operating an
illegal
business out
of his renter
residential
house in a
residential
neighborhood.
That is
exactly what
the Mr. Rooter
business
did.
As City
Council and Code
Enforcement
allow this
illegal activity
in our
neighborhood,
our property
assessment
values go
down. What
a horrible way
to run a City
government that
needs $$$ to fix
roads and our
golf course
after the
September
floods.
These people who
run our City are
horribly
corrupt, in my
humble opinion.
This
renter needs to
rent an office
in our
commercial
"District
Categories" from
which to operate
his commercial
vendor business.
Businesses are
not allowed
anywhere in our
City in
residential
neighborhoods.

City Council
allows Code

for
favoritism.

"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.
