Good evening Brendan,
Please forward this email to your managers, supervisors, examiners, and anyone else involved in this decision tree.
Let me start out by saying we're very disappointed in your office for your newly resurrected refusal to resolve this situation reasonably. In your last email dated June 1st, which very obviously should have been the last one, we were led to believe this matter was closed, as it should have been.
Now I have to repeat myself from that conversation, which I really do not enjoy doing. Your office DID NOT receive a complaint about our balcony. Not in the incident that triggered your May 20th inspection of our property, and not now in this new example. What actually happened was your online reporting system was fraudulently targeted by cyberstalkers and literal domestic terrorists who have previously and repeatedly attempted to have both myself and my wife murdered in our home by the Milwaukee Police Department through dozens of false police reports more commonly known as SWATTing attacks.
These fraudulent reports to the MPD have already cost the City of Milwaukee more than half a million dollars in a civil settlement for the harassment and misconduct of the MPD against our home and persons. Your office could claim naivete of these facts during our last conversation. You cannot claim continued ignorance of them now because I explicitly explained the situation to you the last time we spoke.
Nor is this the first time these criminals have made fraudulent reports to your office against our property while pretending to be our neighbors. The first such incident came three, perhaps four years ago when they impersonated residents living in the apartment complex next door to make a fake complaint about a backyard fence we had to repair after a particularly strong windstorm snapped off the old posts. We went through the entire appeals process to eventually be granted a variance for the repair.
We know these "complaints" are fraudulent, including this latest batch, because the criminals who have repeatedly abused city resources to harass and even attempt to kill us, openly brag about such efforts in their social media profiles, all documented for future review should it become necessary.
So your new demands after having already closed this matter are born of the fruit of the poisoned tree.
But let's return to the facts at hand exclusively between ourselves and your office. On April 17th, before any work had started, we were given assurances by an authorized representative of your office that the work we proposed did not require any permitting or on site inspections. That assurance came after we deliberately reached out to your office for instruction on the project to ensure we would be in compliance for all city permitting requirements and ordinances prior to beginning construction.
We used that official instruction in good faith and ordered construction materials only AFTER the April 17th email to ensure they complied with the city code requirements for deck and balcony guardrails that were helpfully shared with us. Requirements we then faithfully followed during the construction of our guardrails because the reason we sought a conversation with your office was to ensure we were doing everything by the book in the first place. Partially because your office had been previously manipulated into harassing us over our fence repair by the cybercriminals trying to murder us.
Which is why I need to be very clear with you now. No, we will not be retroactively coerced into paying for a permit, at any price, after having already done our due diligence with your office and being assured, by an authorized representative and employee of your office, that the proposed work did not require one before any construction had commenced.
No, we will not concede to your demands of an onsite inspection of the work after having been told by your office the work proposed required no permitting and by extension no inspection. Any attempts to force entry to our property by any city employee or contractor in this matter will be interpreted as criminal harassment and trespassing and confronted as such.
We have acted in good faith at every step of this process. Your office has not. If any mistakes were made along the way, they were made by employees acting under your office's authority, which makes the consequences yours to bear, not ours.
This was never a discussion, debate, or negotiation.
Your office has only one option to fully and finally resolve this matter for your books. You will issue a variance for this project and be on your way. We will honor our previous offer to complete whatever paperwork may be necessary to affect that outcome. Hell, I'm feeling generous so I'll even throw in an offer to take and forward pictures with a tape measure of our guardrails to reassure Plan Examiner Eric Lemmer that they meet the requirements of city code SPS 321.04(3)(c)(c).
This is our only offer, there will not be another, and indeed you should never have continued to push this issue at all. Our lawyers are CCed on this email. We are really, really tired of the City of Milwaukee finding excuses to act as lap dogs for the literal terrorists who have been hounding our family for the better part of a decade and have already cost our community so much. You are wasting our time, and your own, which has always been one of the primary goals of the criminals stalking us.
Stop doing their bidding.
