City ordinances apply to the whole city, not just historic districts. You're thinking of HOAs. What you're describing doesn't actually apply to historic districts. They're historic for their architectural significance and variety compared to modern construction and design practices, not an attempt to keep up on street-side appearances.
I think it would have been nice to offer to help with lawn issues, because they happen to everyone. Our lawn mower was stolen at the time.
Threatening someone with a $1,000/day punitive fine isn't being a good neighbor.
Thinking it's OK to do that is morally deprived.
- kortilla 4y agoThe city ordinances can have different rules for historic preservation districts. Many restrict fences just to ensure people don’t block off the view. Given your statement confusing that with HOAs, I would recommend reading up on the Phoenix rules for historic preservation districts to make sure there aren’t any other lurking differences you assumed weren’t there.
- andrewmcwatters 4y agoGuidelines for the districts are specifically oriented towards architecture and preservation of the design of the structures. Nothing to do with grass. It's just mean. That's all there is to it. It's uncivil.
