" if i enforce them they might sue" . just lately told me someone has a permit for something that i know for a fact they do not have a permit!!.this non permit offense is affecting my property but manager irritated that i posted complaint against him in past so issuing payback by denying any claim i may make even if out and out lies are needed to do this, in my opinion!!! in past i have had code enforcers tell me that a complaint in past was not up to code, but this manager still refuses to enforce that code!!(some of his employees seem to know the code but this manager even denys codes or changes to suit his whims. be really nice to have manager that actually knew the code violations and enforced them!!!

Those sirens were the sweetest sound I've ever heard. They were there within 5-6 minutes of my call. Super calming and used great tactics to get my husband and I to relax a bit. They got in by jimmying the doors so no broken window, yay. I am so thankful.

This morning was my final inspection. There were only a few little things needs to be done. So I…read morebelieved now is the appropriate time for my review. My project was an interior remodel. Since I'm a newbie to handle the project myself, I didn't know where to start and had lots of questions. Maureen and Nicole at the office were so helpful. They not only walk me through the whole progress, they answered all my questions. Also gave me advice and what to expect. Sarah at planning has been patiently guide me through the planning application. When it comes to building codes, Ray and Tim have taken their time without any hesitation. My inspector Will, which is the one I see most of the time. I can't say enough good things about him. He is very straight on the inspections. He went through all the little details on my architect and engineer drawings making sure everything is done correctly, but also very educational. Every time I see him, he always prepared for the next inspection and point out a few things I'll need to do. Which makes every inspection smoother. Finally, everyone there makes me feel like they're always there to help. Their culture, services, efficiency, professionalism and management are second to none. They rewrite the standard of government agencies. I know they don't need review for business, but I truly believed they do deserve to be recognized.

absolutely lovely town to drive through, as i've found myself cutting through this beautiful town…read moreen route to san mateo when i have to travel along 280 vs 101. all of the tree-lined roads are a bit windy and curvy, and absolutely beautiful to look at during the autumn months since the leaves are red, orange, and gold. the houses are quite large and ornate, each with its own unique features, many featuring the gated, long driveway. if only i made enough to afford a house here! for now, i will settle on taking the "scenic route" from 280 to get to downtown san mateo, and just enjoy the view and peace and quiet that is hillsborough.

I had a conservatorship case a decade ago and was in the courtroom of Superior Court Judge Miram…read more He lacked impartiality, was stubborn and did not even listen to the recommendation of San Mateo's own court appointed attorneys. One of his colleagues in the Superior Court said to me, "he runs his courtroom like it is his own empire." The levers of justice were not evident in his courtroom. I do not recommend him.

Our justice system is an absolute joke. If you have a public defender they give you months instead…read moreof years because they "worked" with the prosecutor. If you pay a lawyer it's not much better. No one talks to you like a human being that is if they talk to you at all. Your lawyer will just hold your hand in saying "look they could give you 2 years because you had some cocaine and mdma in your own home, but they are being nice and going to give you 2 months". The whole time you just keep coming back for absolutely no reason for months or years for a different date, for a couple grand worth of drugs in your own home. But since the cops nearly shot and killed you over it, they must be justified in your actions. They don't even care if the main cop is there to testify against you. Literally no one cares or will talk to you straight, there was no arraignment in front of the public and incredibly little proceedings in front of the public. If the public could only bear witness to what goes on we might begin to understand the injustice, blackmail, and lack of transparency that happens EVERY DAY in this court. Kangaroo court.
