Thank you for bringing this concern to the City of Richmond, Department of Planning and Development Review, however, the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Inspector has determined that the grass is not in violation at this time as it does not exceed the length of 12" as required by city code. The Inspector will continue to monitor the situation in the future.

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. Anyone can see from the picture that the grass is higher than 12". I've seen snakes around that area and I'm concerned for the children in the neighborhood. I don't think I am being unreasonable here, I'm asking the city to enforce its own rules. The city code doesn't limit the grass that has to be cut to just the front yard. I am asking for a more clear answer than it does not exceed 12 inches, because I know there is grass on the property that is higher than 12 inches. Please explain why the city is not enforcing the law in this instance.
