So we got a letter from the city basically saying we needed to clean our yard up, which some of it I totally understood but some of it was questionable.. well we made multiple attempts to contact them and left multiple messages with nothing in return from them so we started doing what we could with what the weather would allow us too well then they sent another letter say how we disregarded the first one and basically haven't done anything they asked us too which is a lie and now the saying we have a vehicle illegally parked in our yard even gave a plate number which we don't know anyone with that make or model of vehicle, and now saying that if we don't get what they asked us to get done then they take legal action against us.. we have been working on what the letter says we need to, it says they attemp to work with people but have made no effort to work with us and I feel like they are *. Discriminating, *. Trying to intimidate, and *.
