Harassment of a disabled person
These are all very intelligent and useful postings. Thank you to the people who have contributed. My mother is currently having a similar problem. She is disabled and uses a scooter, and so she is making some renovations to her house to make it more accessible to her. Her neighbor of 15+ years seems to be holding a grudge (we have no idea what it is) and has been calling Lisencing and Inspection at any chance she can get. My mother really needs these renovations in order to live her daily life. This neighbor has been deliberately causing us trouble and harassing us, and it has been slowing down the process of the renovations. To top it all, the stress of it has been making my mother sicker. This seems to be deliberate harassment of a disabled person. Is there anything we can do, or is our neighbor free and legal to keep calling for the rest of our lives? p.s. we live in Philadelphia

I had a similar situation with a nutty neighbor calling anonomously and making false reports. THat's an issue -- is the report false? If it is, let the agencies know that their offices are being mis-used. If the reports are just enough to slow down and inconvenience the process, try to engage an official concerning your mother's dilemma. Hopefully they will see that this is also an abuse of their office and not allow this person to waste the agency's time.
