Re: obtaining a restraining order against a neighbor
I'm not sure what your question is, but you have the right to use your property in any way that does not violate the law or agreed neighborhood restrictions. Also, I don't know what you mean when you say the neighbor "threatens" you or your workers. If your neighbor is making physical threats, he could be arrested. If he's threating to violate you on restrictions or building codes, you should consult a lawyer or your contractor. The city has already told you that the container is not a violation. Forget about the inspector. I would demand that your neighbor put his concerns in writing and mail them to you. That way you have a record of what he wants.
