I don't understand what "open to the public" means. I suspect that a complaint on those grounds is grasping at straws from a coalition of NIMBY neighbors and entitled hikers.
If I buy a property that people have been illegally trespassing on for years and put a house on it, is that open to the public?
I would think you would have to explicitly post permission to be on private land because I assume it's implicitly not permissible to trespass...
- draker 10y agoProbably, just not secured to prevent people from entering. The complaint is likely that the property is a nuisance and/or hazard due to failure to properly secure the building/property (it doesn't help that the building/container wasn't permitted). If you own abandoned property you are usually required to board up windows/doors or otherwise prevent people from entering as well as place no trespassing signs on the property. For permitted active residential construction you can usually get by with construction fencing and no trespassing signs. It doesn't seem like he is actively developing or living in the property; more or less just using it as a occasional getaway.
- eeeeeeeeeeeee 10y agoConsidering they said people had been using it for hiking and whatnot, it does sound like everyone had been trespassing on it for years. And now it's suddenly bad trespassing because they don't like what is on it :)
