this is insane - its on private property, (your driveway), why would you need to have it inspected, or registered?

​

That is absolutely an ordinance that nobody has fought yet, they will absolutely lose that battle without a doubt in court

That would be nice. And it's not like I'm trying to be a Karen about it, I just feel like they're bullying people. They even go out of their way to say that a cover is not enough. It has to be a screen/fence/hedge that's at least 7 feet tall. I feel like would be an even bigger eyesore lol.

yeah, barring ownership of a legal to own item that is fully on your property is just crazy. if it was on the street or public property, totally different story.

Meanwhile, another ordinance probably prohibits fences over 6 feet.

It's an anti-blight ordinance. These things aren't just made up out of the air; someone transgressed badly, which led to someone drafting this. By transgressed, I mean they left multiple dead cars littering their property causing blight, and killing neighbors' property values. This ordinance keeps the borough from looking like Arkansas.

And I completely understand that. But in this case, someone saw a covered vehicle and went out of their way to confirm their suspicions. Which, hey, if you're a cop with a warrant, then by all means. Joe Schmoe down at the borough on the other hand...

Yeah, seems like a rule that should be enforced if you're breaking a bunch of other rules. How they noticed in three weeks is crazy.
