My Latest Problem

Yesterday I picked up my mail from the P.O. Box in Louisiana on my way to the boutique.
I had to go to the window for a certified mail also. But it was the same thing that was already in my box in an unregistered envelope. Dumb people!
This happened to be a notice to attend a hearing for my mother's house from the city. A notice had been sent in October about ordinances that were in violation.
They gave 5 days for one citation to be corrected and 15 days for the second one.
Violations were not completed at all, not late, not ever! My brother is living in the house and he has moved in his girlfriend and her two girls that are still living at home. The other 3 are grown and gone.
The first violation is the grass is too tall. There was a picture and there were some weeds (weeds in itself are a violation) that were over 12 inches tall. The other violation was in inoperable vehicle on the property. This is my mother's car that my brother added to the long list of vehicles they have torn up. It is sitting under a portable carport. This one ticks me off a little bit as how is that hurting them?
Next a hearing was called which was also ignored so now I get a citation to come to a second hearing. Note I was not notified of any of the above. They got my name and address because I took my mother to a hearing not long after she started living with me in 2019 or 2020.
Wish me luck on this one guys. I am very annoyed.

I am so sorry you are dealing with such nonsensical dehumanizing crap.
I will pray for a good outcome Karen.

Dervera; After I moved in this house with my then girlfriend, she invited her best friend, her boyfriend, the two daughters of the best friend, the two children of one of the daughters and the girlfriend of the other daughter to live with us. That was 7 people living here and the daughters and the girlfriend and the children were living downstairs in an unfinished basement. I have a back yard garden and a compost pile in the back yard and the others called the board of health because of the compost pile. When the board of health official came, she advised us that she also had a compost pile in her yard, and nothing was wrong. After the girls, the grandchildren and the girlfriend moved out, the best friend called the board of health claiming that there should not be anyone living in the basement. When the board of health came, she was right about not having people living in the basement because of not having two ways to get out of the basement and not enough windows. Why did she wait until the moved out to call. I had to fight them in court to get them evicted, they were not paying a penny to stay here.

Well, at least you can possibly explain your side in all this and get it sorted.

Just tell them who they need to go after. You cant do anything about any of it and your mom is not able to either.

@kareng They might have even pretended not to be there.

Because after no action from the mail sent to her house, they reviewed the court documents from when she had to go right before she came to live with me. That was all my brother's doings. He had a broke down truck sitting in driveway and my dad's car that they ruined sitting in the front yard and overgrown yard that needed cleaning up. You would think he could do a little bit or have his girlfriend's sons help. I'm just done with it all and hoping I can keep my cool.

That sounds quite frustrating. I hate rabid HOA's. There are a ton of them in the Northern part of the state.
