I had a neighbor like that witch. We had a burglary where they stole my Dodge truck. A week later it was recovered with $8000 damage done to it. We immediately had a 6ft rod iron fence and security cameras installed around the perimeter of our property, iron bars installed on the windows and side door on the garage in back along with a alarm system. The witch across the street called code enforcement and lied about our electric gate opening "out" towards the street. When code enforcement notified us I requested them to come out and not only verify the gate was not opening "out" but also insisted they walk our property with us to verify everything we've done was by the books...permits drawn, and everything completed to code. The witch is the typical busy body, in everyones business kind of nuisance neighbor, so to shut her down do a one and done visit. The day the code enforcement agent came out we also had the contractors who performed the various jobs out as well. No surprise we had no infractions.

@donovanniles true. They don't have the right to abuse it. There were hundreds of calls made by the neighbor in 2 or 6 years. I can't remember which one. That's abuse of the system.
@@Plutogalaxy I meant the bushes on the property of the neighbor that is always complaining. The Bushes that are growing against and through the fence.
It's your responsibility to trim bushes over your property line. Bushes are not pavers aka a driveway, a driveway must be setback from the property line
I am happy to hear this loving woman does not have to deal with this crazy woman’s complaints. The neighbor has issues and these people always come back to complain about something else, just a hateful woman. God has got this handled, believe me. Just live a beautiful life pretty lady. 🌸💖🌺
Neighbor is the type of person that makes my stomach turn. Water in her precious driveway during rainy season. A pebble in her tire. I got rocks stuck in every one of my tires and I don’t even have rocks near my house so obviously I pick them up on the roads. She is just being mean.
Those of you complaining about code enforcement have never truly had bad neighbors… I felt the same way… until I had bad neighbors. A section 8 renter moved into a house next to me, they brought a HUGE dog that barks and howls ALL the time and a HUGE trash pile. Now if you have a huge trash pile and a dog outside all the time, the food is outside all the time too, so you’ve give rats and other wildlife food, water and a place to stay. I setup a camera, I counted at least 8 rats in the frame of the camera at any one point in time… they have a pile of tv’s, 3 mattresses that are all chewed up and have hole, bits of furniture, an office chair oh and probably at least a year of dog poop, the stink is horrible. It still isn’t resolved but the city did get the landlord out to the property and the landlord came and spoke to me and said he definitely sees the issue and will take care of it shortly. So I’m glad we have avenues to sort some of this stuff out without having to go to court. Court isn’t in everyone’s budget and most attorneys won’t do contingency unless there is a big settlement to pick from. In California trash and debris on properties can get your homeowners insurance cancelled, insurance companies are using drones, our houses are maybe 15 feet apart, I don’t want these mattresses and old furniture getting my insurance cancelled. The dog poop, there are articles about how toxic dog poop is. Literally there is a TON of it, the flies, the smell, omg it’s terrible. Rats chew thru wiring in cars and are destructive to homes and stuff and carry diseases, I don’t want that 8 feet from my house. So before you all are quick to want to dismantle a system, code enforcement CAN have its benefits, most people can’t afford to go to court for this stuff and we do need to be able to life safely and healthily in our homes, so if you dismantle the imperfect system, next thing you’ll be doing is crying when a bad neighbor finally moves in and you have no resources.
There's a difference between this type of thing and weaponizing code enforcement against someone's perfectly reasonable and orderly changes just because you're a bitter old crank. Obviously in your case code enforcement has to act; there are clear safety, hygiene, and property value hazards.
That sounds like the typical section 8 who has every drug known to man in their system. These are the ones who should be kicked off the program because there are good people who need places to stay. They are not all like that but those are the ones who make the others look bad. It's sickening
Maybe "karen" should not drive her precious vehicle at all. It will probably get a gravel on a tire while DRIVING. The "Karen's " complaint is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!
This is why I live on 7 acres in the forest... I can do whatever I want. When I used to live in the suburbs there was always one neighbor who complained about random stuff.

@@maxsands3861 Well it’s an HOA. You can only do what’s allowed. People choose to live in these types of communities. 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
sad when you can't build a fence on your own property is your property even your property anymore
@@newmobile1455 It is, but these people knew that was the rule, before they purchased the property. HOAs can be a good thing, when run the right way. Unfortunately they have acquired too much power, and there’s no check and balances now.
@@kittenpawsbb I didn't hear any mention of an HOA. Several times they mention "City Code Inspectors". So this was just an ordinary neighborhood.
Proof that Karens come in all colors...
I have a dream....
yes and so do , old mean fools................
What a horrible, busy body neighbor, not to mention ridiculous rules.
This is what happens when people retire and have too much time on their hands. I bet that lady was miserable at work when she was still working.
Very happy for this woman and grateful for the news station help. Appalled by the lack of professionalism of the City of Lauderhill, those pavers looked beautiful, and sorry for the nasty neighbor that probably can’t live with herself and is spewing her misery onto others.
I would love to have the younger lady as my neighbor.
Oh good glad they did an update. Good for this family. Blessings
Her neighbour needs to find a hobby. Keep her nose out of others business. Some people are just not happy unless they are whining about something.
The old lady needs to stick to her own yard and not worry about her Neighbor's yard. I grew up across the street from a neighbor that acted exactly like her and get this, her name was karen.
Does this neighbor not know that rocks are a good drainage source for water? This is so ridiculous. I would fine this lady for filing false reports.Leave your neighbor alone or try being a better neighbor.
Thank God!! I hope and pray the nightmare is over for this family.
Every neighborhood has one, at least this neighborhood knows who theirs is.
Thank you to the news station for calling this out publicly to the county. Only because the community and this news station called that "Karen" neighbor out can Ms. Loretta and her husband have some peace of mind. Otherwise, the poor lady (Ms. Loretta) and her husband would have continued to receive fines and harassment, unnecessarily.
It's not harassment as there was a code violation. People have the right to call code enforcement
@donovanniles true. They don't have the right to abuse it. There were hundreds of calls made by the neighbor in 2 or 6 years. I can't remember which one. That's abuse of the system.
The young woman needs to charge her neighbor with harassment.
I still believe that poor woman should sue her neighbor for harassment. But I’m glad that once again the evening news saves the day.
How come nobody is calling this lady a Karen?
She needs to file a complaint about her neighbor complaining.
Those Bushes look like they are within 3 feet of the edge of the property line. Time for a complaint to have them removed.
@@Plutogalaxy I meant the bushes on the property of the neighbor that is always complaining. The Bushes that are growing against and through the fence.
It's your responsibility to trim bushes over your property line. Bushes are not pavers aka a driveway, a driveway must be setback from the property line
Don't people have anything better to do ? Ridiculous. Petty.
What a lovely neighbor to live next too who has nothing but crap to tell you and the city about what you do and how you go about your day.
Congrats Loretta❤️ so sad you went through all these years of harassment
Suddenly it's on the news and things magically changed! Sprinkled Lucky Charms around?☘
Lmao
Exactly. Somebody got in trouble.
OMG that neighbor needs to be put in prison
I am super happy for her finally getting closure. Congratulations and thank you for assisting her.
This ain’t over
I’m so glad to see this news update! I hope her angry neighbor leaves her and her family alone.
It's over. Until the neighbor's next complaint.
I am happy to hear this loving woman does not have to deal with this crazy woman’s complaints. The neighbor has issues and these people always come back to complain about something else, just a hateful woman. God has got this handled, believe me. Just live a beautiful life pretty lady. 🌸💖🌺
Well, I guess you're not going to go over to that neighbor's house and borrow a cup of sugar.
Sugar, never. Vinegar maybe.
😂😂😂
Neighbor is the type of person that makes my stomach turn. Water in her precious driveway during rainy season. A pebble in her tire. I got rocks stuck in every one of my tires and I don’t even have rocks near my house so obviously I pick them up on the roads. She is just being mean.
I hope if there is another issue she reaches out to the news station
So glad I live where I don’t have close neighbors anymore.
Those of you complaining about code enforcement have never truly had bad neighbors… I felt the same way… until I had bad neighbors. A section 8 renter moved into a house next to me, they brought a HUGE dog that barks and howls ALL the time and a HUGE trash pile. Now if you have a huge trash pile and a dog outside all the time, the food is outside all the time too, so you’ve give rats and other wildlife food, water and a place to stay. I setup a camera, I counted at least 8 rats in the frame of the camera at any one point in time… they have a pile of tv’s, 3 mattresses that are all chewed up and have hole, bits of furniture, an office chair oh and probably at least a year of dog poop, the stink is horrible. It still isn’t resolved but the city did get the landlord out to the property and the landlord came and spoke to me and said he definitely sees the issue and will take care of it shortly. So I’m glad we have avenues to sort some of this stuff out without having to go to court. Court isn’t in everyone’s budget and most attorneys won’t do contingency unless there is a big settlement to pick from. In California trash and debris on properties can get your homeowners insurance cancelled, insurance companies are using drones, our houses are maybe 15 feet apart, I don’t want these mattresses and old furniture getting my insurance cancelled. The dog poop, there are articles about how toxic dog poop is. Literally there is a TON of it, the flies, the smell, omg it’s terrible. Rats chew thru wiring in cars and are destructive to homes and stuff and carry diseases, I don’t want that 8 feet from my house. So before you all are quick to want to dismantle a system, code enforcement CAN have its benefits, most people can’t afford to go to court for this stuff and we do need to be able to life safely and healthily in our homes, so if you dismantle the imperfect system, next thing you’ll be doing is crying when a bad neighbor finally moves in and you have no resources.
There's a difference between this type of thing and weaponizing code enforcement against someone's perfectly reasonable and orderly changes just because you're a bitter old crank. Obviously in your case code enforcement has to act; there are clear safety, hygiene, and property value hazards.
That sounds like the typical section 8 who has every drug known to man in their system. These are the ones who should be kicked off the program because there are good people who need places to stay. They are not all like that but those are the ones who make the others look bad. It's sickening
If the neighbor thinks she can tell her what to do on her own property then the neighbor needs to pay the mortgage/ property taxes
Maybe "karen" should not drive her precious vehicle at all.
It will probably get a gravel on a tire while DRIVING.
The "Karen's "
complaint is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!
Some people have too much time on their hands. The neighbor needs to mind her own business!
Thank goodness! That neighbor just wants some attention and is in need of some lovin’. Lady I hope you can sell your home for a better peaceful life.
That mean old lady complaining for no legitimate reason👎🏽🤬👎🏽
The entire neighborhood has flowers/plants…code violations😳. Is the neighbor an expert on rocks?😂🤣😂
Crack rocks
This is why I live on 7 acres in the forest... I can do whatever I want. When I used to live in the suburbs there was always one neighbor who complained about random stuff.
I envy you. I always wanted a home where our neighbors were about 1 mile a way. Or more.
THATS THE PROBLEM,WAY TOO MANY STUPID CONTROL LAWS AND NOSEY NEIGHBORS,I WILL NOT LIVE IN THOSE CONDITIONS EVER
Amen! I found this to be unfair. Justice took place!
Great to hear this news! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And that’s why I don’t want to live near people like that
Thanks for getting involved guys!
Good riddance poor lady shouldn't have to ask the news for help. County officials don't know common sense property laws.
It's her property she can do whatever she wants on her property. As for the obnoxious neighbor pack up and move if you don't like what your seeing in your neighborhood.
No she can't do wherever she wants, there are city code of ordinances to keep the peace. The county officials clearly know the code better than you do, there was a code violation for setback
