Dallas City Code Violation Of The Day

Why on earth would anyone want THIS in their back yard? Besides being a butt-ugly eyesore, it’s a haven for rats and other vermin. AND it’s a dangerous temptation for curious children.

Junk Motor Vehicle (Section 18-20)

Motor vehicles that are inoperative and/or partially dismantled and have expired license tags or safety stickers are considered “junk motor vehicles”. These vehicles are in violation of the City Code. Owners of the vehicles and all lien holders will be notified of the violation by certified mail. Should the owner fail to remove the junk motor vehicle from the property or prove the vehicle operable, the vehicle will be towed and sold for salvage. Owners may store inoperable vehicles in a garage to avoid towing. Please note: Code Compliance only addresses vehicles on private property. If the vehicle is on the street, the Dallas Police Department has jurisdiction.

Gotta go. Time to call 3-1-1.

    What type of attorney would be best at representing an individual who has been wrongly accused of a code violation that is over barking dogs? Long story…but is for a friend who is NOT guilty of this and needs an attorney who knows code violations.
    Any ideas, Granny?

    I appreciate you,
