For those that had the town called on them for whatever reason, have you had any luck on finding out which one of the lovely neighbors that's doing the reporting? Or is it all anonymous?
I had town inspector come by to investigate a complaint (false) and on the walk thru, he saw my backyard deck and pool. It's itching me to find out who it could be. I'm in brookhaven.
Could be any one of your rich bored to death neighbors? Unless you have someone on the inside, I don’t think you can find out. I believe complaints can be submitted anonymously.
The information is protected, even if complainants left their information.
When the new Discovery laws kicked in in 2020 and I was working in code enforcement, this was a big deal. The Township took the position that they could continue to conceal this information even in Discovery materials by using statutes designed to protect confidential police informants. I moved on to another company before seeing how that approach has played out in court so far... of course, the other way around it was the town attorneys not actually arraigning a case and taking adjournment until they could resolve the case, then just arraigning and disposing on the same day to avoid the 15-day window to turn over evidence.

Was the "walk through" on your own property or from a neighbor? If yours, what was told to you before entering? Code enforcement agents need to obtain informed consent for a search, meaning the subject needs to understand what they're looking for and potential consequences.
