This has made the rounds. Makes a nice quick sound bite.

One inspector posted, tongue in cheek, their notice of violation letter;

A typical letter looks like this:

Date, Year
Possible Violator
Some Address
Our Fair City, Our Great State ZIP

Re: Gentle Reminder to Call Me

Dear Friendly Violation Suspect:

The Planning Department has been made aware of a possible zoning violation on your property. If it's not too much trouble, we'd appreciate a phone call or walk-in visit to discuss the zoning ordinance that we are loathe to enforce. However, we are happy to work with you for a prolonged period of time while you make mild attempts to comply and your neighbors continually call to complain.

To avoid causing you consternation, I have purposely not indicated the possible violation that may or may not be occurring on your property, allegedly. If you fail to contact me in some unspecified time in the future, then I will forced to escalate this to a letter of sincere urgency informing you that over the course of several more weeks, I will be providing additional notices for you to take heed of.

Continue to think happy thoughts until that time. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 1-1AR-EAC-ODES, or at HappyRainbowCode@FairCity.org.

Sincerely,

CEO
