A couple who apparently run a small greenhouse-building business from their home say they are baffled after a neighbor reportedly complained about them again, despite the town previously confirming that their business complies with local requirements. The couple explained in a Reddit post that their work has little impact on their residential neighborhood. They reportedly pre-cut some materials, including 2×4 lumber, in their garage, but carry out the actual greenhouse construction at customers’ homes. They also said they have no employees or customers visiting their property, and transport their equipment and materials in an enclosed trailer. The business allegedly complies with all applicable county and state requirements, including paying taxes on time. The town had also reportedly already investigated a previous complaint about them “running a business out of [their] home” and receiving deliveries, ultimately confirming that their activities were permitted. It looked like a normal delivery They claimed that they recently faced another complaint, this time after a small flatbed truck delivered approximately 50 pieces of 2×4 lumber to their property. The couple said that “the truck pulled up, beeped maybe twice while backing in, dropped the materials, and left. The entire thing took less than 10 minutes. No obstruction, no ongoing noise, nothing disruptive.” Neighbor keeps reporting our fully legal home business over 10 minute wood deliveries byu/PolyunsaturatedMaya inneighborsfromhell The town officials allegedly drove past their home shortly after the latest complaint and saw the delivery. Officials reportedly told them it was the kind of ordinary delivery they would have arranged for their own homes. Although the town did not officially identify the complainant, the couple said officials repeatedly referred to the person as “she.” Based on that description and the layout of their street, they claim they know which neighbor made the report. The timing also struck the couple as unusual. They asserted the neighbor had started a new remote job that day and was sitting outside with her laptop, as she often did. “The only ‘disturbance’ here would have been two quick backup beeps from a truck that was gone in minutes,” the post claimed. What made the situation more confusing for them was their history with the neighbor. The couple listed several ways they had allegedly helped her over the years, including unloading a large decking delivery, bringing her food when she had COVID-19, helping search for a dog and making flyers for a lost cat. They had also reportedly helped move a heavy fountain piece, allowed her to leave pea gravel in their driveway, and taken an unwanted refrigerator off her hands. Despite those apparent efforts to maintain a friendly relationship, the couple said they were struggling to understand why the complaints continued over activities the town had already deemed permissible. According to EPGD Business Law, it is legal to run a business from home; however, it must meet the local zoning regulations, taxation requirements, and the licensing criteria. The American Legal Publishing Code Library also states a few rules for those involved in a home occupation. For example, it is unlawful for any licensee engaged in a home occupation to “produce or emit any noise, vibration, smoke, dust or other particulate matter, odorous matter, heat, humidity, glare, obstruction to the public way, or any other effect that unreasonably interferes with any person’s enjoyment of his or her residence.”
