NJ Residents May Be Fined If They Don't Fix Their Homes In 15 Days

[Justin Case]

This is an example of how government is totally out of control. Many Seaside Heights NJ residents whose homes were severely damaged by hurricane Sandy were allowed to return to their homes this past weekend for the first time as VP Biden toured the damage. You can just imagine their reaction when they found notices on their homes telling them they had 15 days to fix their home or they would be subject to fines of $2,000 per week or have their home demolished by the city.

I searched and I don't believe this is a dupe.

Isn't is nice that all those east coast liberal democrats are so kind and understanding? It took me 2 weeks in Indiana just to get three quotes on a roofing job. And we didn't even have an emergency.

Government at work.

We're here to help you!

looks like someone in government is itching to eminent domain all the property for some sweetheart deal.

I'm still dealing with insurance over a month after some hail damage. No chance I'll get any repairs done for at least another month.

I'm guessing the neighborhood LOVED this ordinance when they could brow-beat their unruly neighbors with it. You know - make sure everyone's home looked nice at all times. Now that it is being enforced on EVERYONE, they are upset. The rule of unintended consequences strikes again.

Yep. Be careful what you ask for! Also, be careful of how much power you give elected officials as it may be used against you when you least expect it.

Sounds that way, doesn't it?

Sandy Victim - It took till Last Thursday to even get a claims adjuster here. I'm still waiting for him to contact me back with the list of approved tree removal crews. 15 days? I suppose if you dump golden eggs.

To err is human.

To truly screw the pooch requires a government bureaucrat.

I'm assuming this is the case more often than not.

This. The only good thing to come of this is watching those Nazi neighbors who have code enforcement on speed dial squirm.

I assumed that everything had already been repaired out there since Governor Christie has time to hang out on SNL and yuck it up so much...

This honestly doesn't bother me. What's he supposed to do?

 

[hornadylnl]

leaving homeowners in a difficult position with very little time to decide what to do before their homes are demolished by the township

One of these days, government bureaucrats are going to **** someone off who has nothing left to lose. I'm sure that could be a great many of those in this township. Then these government bureaucrat bullies will be the ones bullied.

He's supposed to sit and fret over every detail that he has no control over until everyone is happy and never make a joke or light of any situation ever.

Duh..... you're not very smart are you? Add purple as you feel is necessary.

Don't move to an area that would be susceptible to a hurricane or take your chances. People in NW Indiana suffered through 18 inches of rainfall in a 24 hour period and had flooded out homes, lived without power for two weeks. Build your house on stilts and make it out of poured concrete walls like they do in the Keys. Coming down the road will be the drought stricken Central Plain and the return of the Dustbowl. Then CA will have an earthquake and shake everything down to the ground. Then more tornadoes in the SE region. Then a massive winter storm will shut down the Midwest. Then...

Take the lumps that nature throws at you and move on or move out and quit complaining. It ain't Haiti

You would be the first one here to say that.

NJ has gone to great lengths to try and disarm its citizens, but I'm sure some still have a few weapons stashed (if they didn't lose them in the flooding).

I'm thinking armored bulldozer to the bureaucrats houses.

Tar and feathers are readily available and don't require a background check. Fence rails, either.
