2. My neighbor has junk in his yard.  Is that legal?

   Junk is sometimes in the eye of the beholder.  However, there are times when "junk" reaches the level of a nuisance.  An Officer may make a determination to cite a person or persons for the storage of equipment, building materials, miscellaneous items and litter.  Most nuisance complaints can be solved by moving the materials into an enclosed building.
