I wasn't sure where to put this topic. And while I am not happy I am glad this happened after discharge because if we had another 10 months to go with BK there is no way we could even think about affordinding these repairs.
Our BK 13 is discharged but waiting on the "official" discharge.
The city has come after us and yes, it is warranted because our garage roof is terrible and on the side of the garage paint is peeling and my husband never painted the back so it's peeling. We could not afford to get a new garage roof while making BK payments.
Now we have to prioritize the garage, but I am ticked because I think a neighbor instigated this because our street is not on the inspection list for this year and you can't see the problem from the street. The problem is only noticeable to this neighbor because we have no one behind us and my other neighbor is cool and has helped us with some minor repairs through our hard financial times.
The city has always been "understanding" and has a reputation for this as long as you start the process.
We just CANNOT put off getting my husband a car. I left a message to the city last night saying I would get estimates and need to come up with a plan to pay for the repairs. I was also ticked because they also complained our backyard for having weeds and grass greater than 6 inches. And there's some wood piles from the tree that was cut down. Two of my other neighbors were supposed to take the wood for fires, but never did.
It is also a PITA because they also complained about high grass, weeds and debris in the backyard. This is ridiculous and they wanted it completed by 6/21/22 and I got the letter after work on 6/21/22 so I called and left a message just to be a PITA to them saying I needed an extension because we could not get the weeds/lawn/debris taken care because we received the information at 6 pm on the day it's due.
The grass is about 6 inches tall because of the rain and we have a large lot and my husband only mowed the front and about 2/3 of the backyard which is larger than most lots in the area. He has mowed this way for 25 years and no one has ever complained. No one can see this grass since we have no neighbor behind and a 6 foot fence solid wood between us and the instigator's house. The back is open because it runs up against the park. The park that is full of weeds and why we get the tall thistle and taproot type weeds that never go away. I did not pluck them all out at the end of property by the trees. The debris is an old swing that is rusted and doesn't have a cushion is it sound and I had planned to paint it since it's still in good shape, but it wasn't a priority. And there's those wood piles...nothing I would consider "debris"
Like I said I am glad this happened after discharge because otherwise we would have some serious issues with the city because the best we could do it possibly paint the garage ourselves and mow the lawn.
