WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE CITY IS ON YOUR BACK?

Dear Readers:

What do you do when the city is on your back, I have a back porch that has been existing since long about 1997 and many inspectors have been out to my house since its been there and now all of certain in the year of depression its not up to code, well the city whenever they feel like it, and I guess every time they change the codes, we as property owners are to change our porch whenever the code change. These inspectors have no cut off date, never two of them have the same rule and we are at their mercy. They go to the old files and pull up mess that has been fixed, okayed by them and make us go through the same thing over and over again. The inspectors need inspectiing. In the meanwhile they go over board making us spend money that is unnecessary and jump through hoops trying to please. It is scantless the way they do business. Under the guise of protecting the citizens. Can anybody out there help me? Nevermind I had this porch built by so call business owners licensed at the time and during business as a reputable business in the city of Chicago.
