09-22-2017	05:26 PM	INITIAL INSPECTION	MADE SITE VISIT AND SPOKE WITH MR. KOCH. HE HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS. 1. NEIGHBOR WAS INSTALLING A FENCE WITHOUT A PERMIT. THE NEIGHBOR WAS REPAIRING HIS FENCE THAT WAS DAMAGED FROM THE HURRICANE. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS REPAIR DOES NOT REQUIRE PERMITTING. HE THEN COMPLAINED THAT WORK WAS NOT TO CODE. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS NO CODE REFERENCE FOR FENCE INSTALLATION. 2. MR. KOCH COMPLAINED ABOUT A LARGE TREE LIMB BROKEN AND HANGING IN THE TREE AT THE REAR OF HIS PROPERTY. THIS TREE IS IN THE EASEMENT OF HIS PROPERTY BUT WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED AS ON HIS PROPERTY. MR. KOCH POINTED OUT THE OTHER WORK HE HAD DONE TO REMOVE TREE DEBRIS FROM HIS PROPERTY AND SAID HE HAD CALLED GLADES ELECTRIC TO REMOVE THE BRANCH. I SUGGESTED THAT HE HIRE A TREE SURGEON CONTRACTOR TO REMOVE THE BRANCH IF THE POWER COMPANY DID NOT RESPOND. 3. MR. KOCH THEN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ABANDONED MOBILE HOME TO HIS EAST. HE SUGGESTED THAT THE HOME BE CONDEMNED. HE HAS COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT HIGH GRASS AND NOW THE PREMISES ARE STREWN WITH STORM DEBRIS. A LIMB BROKE FROM A TREE AND DISDODGED THE TELIVISION ANTENEA WHICH IS LEANING AGAINST BRANCHES OF ANOTHER TREE. I DID EXTERIOR INSPECTION OF THE HOME AND OBSERVED NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND EXPLAINED THAT I COULD NOT CONDEMN THE STRUCTURE DUE TO LACK OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. MR. KOCH THEN SUGGESTED THAT THE INTERIOR WOULD HAVE TO BE UNINHABITABLE DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE FOR YEARS OF ABANDONEMENT. I EXPLAINED THAT I WOULD HAVE NO RIGHT OF ENTRY TO DO INTERIOR INSPECTION WITHOUT DUE CAUSE WHICH WOULD CONSIST OF STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES, WHICH ARE NOT PRESENT. 4. MR. KOCH THEN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET SAYING THAT THEY HAD DONE BRICK WORK, ADDED A CHIMNEY AND A CARPORT WITHOUT PERMITTING. I ASKED WHEN THIS WORK MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED AND HE INDICATED THAT IT WAS DONE WHEN HOME WAS INSTALLED. INSTALLATION OF THIS MOBILE HAS BEEN BEFORE OUR RECORDS SHOW. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND IS NOT PRUDENT USE OF TAX PAYER MONEY TO PERSUE AT THIS POINT. WITH ALL CONCERNS ADDRESSED AND NO VIOLATIONS FOUND I WILL CLOSE THIS CASE.
