Advice on the new neighbors

[Sofa King]

Talk to city hall, see if they have a nuisance inspector/enforcer. He can give them a "to be in compliance by... or else....." letter.

But that will just lead to them finding out it was you anyways.

If you do a call to the code enforcer, do you have to give a name?

Give them the address and go from there. Every city is different on how they proceed. Our city doesn't ask for names. They focus on the problem and go from there. I live in a small town though.

Tell them the address, what's wrong, and they should be able to go from there.

Your problem is so simple, it shouldn't be hard for them to take care of. a simple letter should get them to take care of it, but they'll know it was one of their neighbors. Nobody would know about their backyard unless it was a neighbor.


EDIT: If they've only been there a month, and they're already letting shit go like that, chances are they've had problems at other places as well, and they're familiar with how the nuisance enforcement works. They'll push it as far as they can until someone forces them to clean it up.

You can see the back yard from the street, so I don't think it's a definite that it would be one of their neighbors... but yeah, I think you're right.

Just mow the goddamn yard.

Assume much?

These new neighbors being "habitual offenders wherever they go" is only 1 of about 648 reasons that their lawn could be long.

Instead of playing psychic for a day, he should just go and ask them. You'll be amazed at what human contact can reveal.

more often than not, they're repeat offenders IMO.

But yes, talking to them would be the easiest course of action.
