Property Maintenance Code

The city of Kettering, as most localities do, has a documented Property Maintenance Code that details rules about your house, mostly on the outside, including grass, weeds, firewood, landscaping, garbage, motor vehicles, boats, lighting, and animals.  Most of it reads like a "Good Housekeeping" book, but there are a few where I learned something.  For example, you can only have five household animals over four months old at most.  Firewood has to be stacked to "prohibit the creation of a rodent or insect harborage area". I don't know how one would stack firewood to prohibit and of course, the regulations don't say how to either.  The whole code can be read at the link below.
