erosion issues on neighbors below the

not really affected specifically but that people

05/03/2023 NB - Spoke with the property owner who
was confident they did not need a permit
because the fence was under 9 feet. He also
denied my request for an onsite inspection.
CorrespondenceNick Buckley 5-2-23 - PO
05/12/2023 NB - Building code states that any fence over
7 feet requires a permit and the municipal
code amended that to 6 feet. Also, any
retaining wall over 48 inches including the
footing requires a permit. The retaining wall on
site is at minimum 56 inches at highest point
from natural grade determined by counting
blocks. Permit is required for the retaining
wall/fence.

NB - NOV sent certified and regular mail.
Compliance due date is 6/12/23.
Notice of ViolationNick Buckley 5/12/23
06/25/2024 NB - Multiple emails exchanged between the
property owner, building staff, engineering
staff and myself. I also had a phone
conversation with the property owner today
where we discussed the height of the wall,
and the footings. The property owner states
that there is a difference in opinion regarding
what constitutes a footing. My response is
that a retaining wall will be measured from the
bottom of the concrete or block (including
what is below grade) to the bottom of the
concrete or block. I also sent the PO an email
with the original NOV attached. A permit tech
also sent him the comments from engineering
yesterday and again today.
