Hi my name is Shelby Christiansen I'm emailing with questions in regards to code compliance record
numbers: NCC2023-00123 &HCC2023-00029
Address: 10445 SW 67th Ave Tigard OR 97223.
Again hi my name is Shelby I'm Sheri Faulkner-Wilson's (the property owner) daughter in-law. I had some
questions about the papers we received in the mail.We got two different pieces of mail that had the
same dates on them with 2 different record numbers and 6 code violations on each piece of mail. 3 code
violations on each piece of mail are the same ( Codes: 6.02.010, 6.02.230, 6.02.010). First I will refer to
the piece of mail with record number NCC2023-00123.The first page says "Continuous dog barking is
creating excessive noise". One of our dogs had a litter of puppies, however they were kept quiet &inside
at night and they have all been re-homed now. It also says "Offensive odor, associated with animal and
chemical waste, emanating from your property."Again we had a lot of dogs for a little bit of time due to
having to stay with their mother while being breast fed but they are all gone now. As far as chemicals go I
guess I'm just not even sure what that could possibly be. On the last page it says to email with pictures or
other documentation but half of the code violations on this piece of mail are noise related. Referring to
the piece of mail with record number HCC2023-00029 the first page says "there is an openly stored
inoperable vehicle, garbage, waste, and debris on your property".All the vehicles on our property are
operable and there is only 1 that is considered "openly" stored and it is not only operable but has good
tags as well. I'm not sure what the "waste" is referring to but any and all of the garbage and debris has
been removed. One of the code violations on both pieces of mail is 6.02.010 Nuisances affecting the
public health, I'm not sure what in the world this could even possibly be. Another code violation on both
pieces of mail is 6.02.250 offensive wastes prohibited, again I'm not sure what this is referring to but
there is no "wastes" other than dog poop (only in the back yard) on our entire property. My questions
are...
Questions: 1.)Why did we receive two pieces of mail instead of everything in one? 2.)Why are there 2
different record numbers but for the same day and the same address? 3.)Why are 3 of the code
violations the same on both pieces of mail?4.) Is there a noise limit for during the day (7am-9pm)?5.)
What should be done with the animal feces so I can make sure this is never an issue again?6.) I'm not
sure what the "chemical waste" is supposed to be referring to I can assure you the only"chemical" like
smell on our property ever is spray paint due to my other half&our oldest son thinking everything should
be green haha that being said could you possibly give me some examples of what the "chemical waste"
odor might be?7.)We have a completely cedar wood fenced back yard anything back there would NOT
be considered in the "open" correct? 8.)What exactly is considered to be the open on our property? 9.)
Could you give me some example of what"Nuisances affecting the public health" could possibly be? 10.)
What is "offensive wastes"? 11.)What is the next step in this whole process?
I'm not sure who made these reports but I would like to make you guys aware that 2 of our neighbors has
been determined to cause problems in anyway possible 1 right next door since mid March 2023 (she
seems to have moved) and another 1 across the street for about 3 and a half years now.They have both
gone as far as making false reports, spying into our back yard, and even yelling at us or our animals. I
1
have a feeling these are more false reports like the other ones that have been made, unfortunately
there's not much I can do to stop them from doing these things but I can at least make you guys aware of
it so hopefully if you get more reports your time is not wasted on people just making things up. All of that
being said I apologize for any inconveniences and I REALLY hope I'm not coming across as rude or
anything like that I'm just trying to get to the bottom of all of this so it a.) can be resolved and b.) not
happen again. However I am only 25yrs old and never owed a home so I am extremely new to all of this
and very confused. I apologize for the million questions I just genuinely want to learn / know and
understand. I appreciate your time and patience with me immensely! My number is (971)-666-9539 and
my email is shelbychristiansen1997@gmail.com please feel free to call, text, or email me anytime.I look
forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Shelby Christiansen
