I was joking with the clerks at the city hall over the phone and one said completely seriously that the overwhelming majority of complaints to code are from "anonymous citizen" or a name that does not match a neighbor. so i suspect that the various roof cleaning, driveway repair, fence repair and lawn companied are calling code enforcement just to drum up business in the region?!?!
makes me NEVER want to call the companies with the flyers if they are the ones who are calling in complaints
the city does not allow for the collection of rainwater (not because of run off laws or drought, they feel they are ugly) i have three barrels

That is an underhanded way to go about business. If they are that way about getting business then they wont care two hoots for what they put in the water to wash the roof off. Also not good is the attitude of the local authority 'knowing' the complaint isnt really justified but still going ahead with the citation.
Well with those things stacked against you, carry on making plans to wash your own roof, who knows if your neighbours see you doing it you could end up with a second job.....
Or at least neighbour could help neighbour to keep their roof clean. Then the contractors wouldnt get any work from your street!
Play them at their own game!
