Hmm yes. Annoy the people who have oversight of you and can fine you. Seems like a brilliant idea.
They aren't bureaucrats, they are grunts with a superiority complex.
That is the problem, they are grunt with no need to be professional yet they have the power to sabotage you because you look at them wrong.
That's just it, they don't have any real power. Sure, they can issue violations and threaten fines but they can't enforce it. That's for their boss (nice lady, btw) to handle.
The way I see it, that's more content for the sub...
An endless war of escalating [email protected] ... could get interesting
Can confirm. I am a level 15 bureaucrat. My cruelest weapons are silence and time -- and I don't even work for the government.
If I inform you about your non-compliance, that's because I like you, and don't want to see you accumulate fines or worse.
Well, that is the point of malicious compliance isn't it? So long as op's giving them what they asked for, right?
To be fair, I'm not giving them what they asked for. I'm giving them what they didn't asked for to avoid future violations. Potaetoe potahto
More like giving them what they implied you should have given them.
Right
It's out of their scope of authority. They follow an established rental property maintenance code which does not specify a vacant unit is a violation, in and of itself.
