Who to contact??? [Thorough List]

[AllanY2525]

"Owner refuses to keep grass cut - who should I contact?
Call the Police at 330-742-8926. The City Council of Youngstown
has raised the infraction to the level of a misdemeanor 3, and can
only be enforced by the Police"

uhhhhh..folks, I'm all for having people cut the grass...but this is a CIVIL
matter, not a CRIMINAL matter.   If someone isn't cutting the grass,
talk to them first, FINE them second, put a LIEN on their property
if the city has to send someone out and do it FOR them.  Let the civil
system handle it.

I can't WAIT until someone challenges this ordinance in the court system.
Youngstown Police Department has much more important and serious matters
that need to be addressed...like busting drug dealers over the OTHER kind
of "grass".....(heroin, crack, etc)

Do people actually get garage Sale permits?

Hi I just found this site after trying to figure out why my police scanner site went down..first post...anyway. 
Don't waste your time calling anyone about a snowed in vehicle.  When a parking snow BAN is put on, this is for the plowtruck driver to report because he can't pass to continue plowing.  There are instances where people park directly across from each other on oppsing sides....Usually the driver just doesn't go any further and for some reason nobody calls.  These are the same people that disregard the snow BAN park the same way in the summer making for problems all year long. 
Anyway once the BAN has been lifted and if it's legal topark on the street, the police can't do anything.  I know it's a bit inconsiderate to neighbors but the drivers are working people and don't want to see taxpayers get stuck with a tow and impound bill.....They just move on after calling in the blockage and if (while the BAN is on it gets towed) the driver is told and will return to clear the road.

How about parked cars that are under the snow? They haven't been moved in weeks.

I'd call the police department and have them check it. They can tag the vehicle and if it's still there after a set amount of time, they will have it towed.
