My jurisdiction is: Kansas
My parents built a house that was finished in Nov/Dec of 2007. At the same time, they had an in-ground pool put in that was finished and signed-off on at the same time. The city ordinance states that a yard with a pool must be enclosed on all sides by a fence or wall at least 60" in height. They put up a fence on all sides of the yard except the back since the back of the yard butts upto a pond/lake and no one can access the backyard from there. The inspector signed-off on it saying it was ok. Now a year and a half later the city is trying to force them to put up a fence along the back anyways. Is that legal that they can make homeowners fix their mistakes?
