This is not an uncommon reason for us to get a phone call about some
violation in the historic district. Most folks spend their weekend
project time winking at each other over the fence as they do their work
without a COA, until they get pissed off about some insignificant
perceived slight; then they call us to twist the neighbor's arms off.
