So go whine about the results, not about the apartment itself. If there’s noise and trash, whine to the city about that (if and when it happens), not about the apartment itself, which could very well be rented to someone quiet.
What if someone is living there alone and build a second apartment to defray part of the mortgage, and rents it to a person with one car? Both his and the tenant’s fit in the driveway. Or maybe he needs it for an ill family member.
You sound like an intrusive little snitch. If you have concerns, grow some cojones and talk to your neighbor before considering siccing the fucking filth from the city on them.
People like you are why I’d sooner buy a house in a ratty part of the Bronx or in south Chula Vista. At least in less chichi areas, people mind their fuckin business.

ParticipantI hate over zealous code as much as the next person. I hate illegal garage apartments even more.
Why are they any of your God damned business, as long as they’re not making excessive noise or parking in your driveway? Live and let live.

ParticipantMake sure the neighbors either love you, or are so afraid of you that they wouldn’t make a peep.

ParticipantDoesn’t Nevada have a reputation for lots of overly armed police with a propensity to violence? Hope you have a cheap front door 😉

Local code requirements for new renovation/construction can differ from what’s allowed to be sold. So in your world, you need inspections.
As I said — tax policy with exemptions for extreme poors is a better and minimally-intrusive solution.

This is why we shouldn’t REQUIRE specific energy efficiency numbers. Just tax the living chit out of “dirty” forms of energy production so that people will either want to:
(1) Increase their efficiency and reduce use or …
(2) Elect to buy from clean providers (i.e. own solar system, renewable energy firms, nuclear energy).Use tax policy at the energy-production or sale end to shape consumption. (Extreme poors would get a credit to offset add’l taxes at the low end.)

ParticipantI think FIH mentioned strictly internal improvements, not something that could hurt the neighbor. Sounds like his neighbor was just being a nosy twat.

ParticipantThat’s inflationary crap. Min wage should keep up with inflation, not drive it.
Growth is fundamentally environmentally destructive — recessions and depressions tend to be good for the environment.
Glad the NY min wage law has a clause allowing the governor to abrogate it in case of recession.

ParticipantWe have stagflation — the inflation is just in specific asset prices.

ParticipantHope the neighbor gets hit by a truck and ends up crippled for life.
Snitching twats deserve nothing better than the above.
And yes. We live in such a society. In a more civilized place, either the inspector or the neighbor could be paid a bit to go spank their monkeys somewhere else. But sadly, the US is honest about petty things, while being highly intrusive and disrespectful of privacy.

ParticipantSimple — it’s actually an experiment by Google. In exchange for a cheaper sale price, you get wired into a hive mind.

Well, most cases of shoplifting would likely end with the accused being bullied into a plea bargain. If the accused stood on his/her right to jury trial….

ParticipantSome states require government contractors and/or agencies to use eVerify. Not sure if CA is one of those states.
spdrun
ParticipantDo they knowingly do so?
Does CA have a requirement for local gov’t contractors to use eVerify? Can eVerify still be gamed in some way?
