Hi Murray,

As we discussed on Friday in front of a guest at my home, first how 2746
was built beyond the scope of the permit and COB is aware of this, but we
also addressed how Code enforcement did not apply code *Sec.* *27-955* equally
and fairly to the 3 abutting properties.

   - Property 1
      - Unfinished fence side 2740 Grove Street - screenshot:
      https://prnt.sc/26c6kfm
   - Property 2
      - Finished fence side 2752 Grove Street - screenshot:
      https://prnt.sc/26c6c0c
   - Property 3
   -  Finished fence side 2733 Osborne- screenshot: https://prnt.sc/26c6ch8


*Could you please explain why 1 property fence side (2740) does not
follow the code for the finished side and the other two properties
correctly follow the code **Sec.* *27-955**?*


As for nails: Code enforcement was sent pictures of the 2740 unfinished
fence & nails via code ticket  ID# 2395207
*Nails **Screenshot from ticket:** https://prnt.sc/26c6g6x
<https://prnt.sc/26c6g6x>   *
My email at that time stated that the mapping system in the Brookhaven
connect was mislabeling the addresses when entering a ticket -
screenshot of the email:  https://prnt.sc/26c6gz1 but instead the ticket
was labeled as a duplicate but the *nails photo had been viewed
and disregarded *as code enforcement had mentioned* nails in all caps *in
the ticket:  <goog_371872786>
https://brookhavenga.citysourced.com/servicerequests/2395202

*We look forward to the entire side of the fence facing 2740 being
correctly finished following code Sec. 27-955  and applied in the exact
same and equal manner as the other abutting properties (2752 and 2733).*

Best regards,
Sarah
