can i sue city not enforcing ordinance

Hello! While I'm not a legal professional, I can share that generally, suing the city for not enforcing its own ordinance can be quite a complex matter. It often depends on the specific details of the situation, your local laws, and whether the lack of enforcement has directly caused you harm.

Again, it's important to firstly consult a legal professional in these matters. In some cases, if you can prove that the lack of enforcement directly led to the damage, you may have a case. But these situations can be heavily reliant on local laws and the specifics of the incident.

In many instances, yes. To build a successful case, you may need to demonstrate that the city was negligent in their duty to enforce the ordinance and that this negligence directly resulted in your harm or loss.

If the city claims a lack of resources, that might change the situation. Courts often recognize that cities operate with limited resources and can't enforce every ordinance all the time. But again, the specifics of these cases can vary widely, so consulting with a local attorney would be your best course of action.
