Recently, I had an "encounter" with an inspector from the City where I live. He ranted and raved and was so disrespectful as he talked about the violations at a rental property I own.
He threatened me with the prospect of a fine and said I'd have to go to court. He gave me 48 hours to fix the issue. I did it in 24 hours.
I remained calm throughout this tirade. But I wasn't going to let him get away with talking to me like that.
I got his name, title and wrote a letter to the Mayor. And I mentioned that I'm Vice President of the Library Board where I volunteer.
Next thing I know I get a call from the Mayor's office. He wants to meet me. And, when I went down to the Housing Department to look into the fine, I was told it was withdrawn because the violation had been handled.
The mean inspector broke the news and he was all contrite.
Hmmm...The power of the pen in action.
Hallelujah!
