So I wonder about both of the edge cases: what would happen if the "house of cards" were deep in Hawaiian Acres? Or in a subdivision with strong CC&Rs? Seems to me the answers are "nothing" and "fixed years ago" (respectively), which leaves me wondering about the "lax/uneven enforcement".
At $50/day, it takes almost 10 months to accrue $14K in fines... which sends a very interesting message.
Well, to be fair to the County (hey, I'm in a good mood today...) if the House of Cards were in Hawaiian Acres and it did what most houses of cards eventually do, the damage would probably be contained on the owner's property. But in Seaview, where the lots are much smaller and the vegetation less dense, if the House of Cards starts to disassemble itself due to any number of logical factors, it could inflict significant physical and economic damage to adjacent people and property.
