[quote=Anonymous]1) It's possible a neighbor complained, or it's possible the city saw the issue while going through alley (trash, to clean). 2) It is your responsibility to keep your shrubs and trees from interfering with public space, which the alley is. If you have shrubs blocking the sidewalk you can be directed to correct that as well. 3) Have you received a notice of violation yet? That will specify (a) the timetable for correction and (b) the potential fine. The goal is to get it fixed, not to issue a fine. Typically you have 15 days, but I'm pretty sure if you took longer but fixed the issue you could get any fine waived. 4) There is a right of appeal to the office of administrative hearings if you want to "fight" anything. 5) Sorry for the poor welcome to DC. You'll get used to the fact that the government is much better at issuing citations than performing other services, but turns out to be almost as bad at enforcing those citations . . .[/quote]
