Are you tired of your neighbors leaving their trash bins out on a permanent basis? Annoyed when bulk trash appears on swales three weeks before bulk trash? Upset about boats or trailers permanently parked on swale? Concerned about enclosing carports or screen porches without permits? Well, these are some of the most common complaints that Code Enforcement (and the Board of CPCA) get from neighbors who want to make Croissant Park "a nice place to live”. Everyone wants to know why SOMEONE is not doing something but due to recent changes in state law Code Enforcement is required to get the name and address of the person calling in the code complaint before they will act. A lot of folks are seriously annoyed by their neighbor’s actions but don’t want to cause bad feelings by ratting them out to Code. We are often asked "well if no one is calling in complaints, what do the code officers assigned to Croissant Park do all day?" You would think that they would notice some of these violations on their own just by driving through the neighborhood. This is particularly true on the east side of 4th Avenue where dumpsters are in the streets, not covered, overflowing with trash, abandoned vehicles (and boats) litter the swales, etc.
Well, if you want to know the answers to these questions or have some of your own attend the last Croissant Park Civic Association meeting before summer break and ask. We will have representatives of Code Enforcement there to answer your questions and give an update on enforcement activity.
Don’t complain if you don’t participate.
Hope to see you all there tomorrow night at 7 PM.
Pat Rathburn, CPCA President
