Bradenton Code Enforcement

101 12th Street West, Bradenton, FL 34205

"Lyman approached our home and began to verbally harass our AC technicians about a permit. When our technician directed him to call his boss at the office to discuss the permit questions, he threatened to call the police because he couldn’t give him answers that he wanted to hear. He put a red sign on the door and this is when I noticed what was going on. He had told the technicians to stop work or risk a higher fine and charge/ losing his license. Technicians were in the middle of replacing the unit, it was already 95 degrees outside and I notified him that I have 3 small children in the home with it already increasing in temperature.He said that he had a job to do and he couldn’t allow them to continue even if I had children inside. When I asked him to recheck his system for the permit, after checking with the office of our AC company, he said he didn’t care what the system said now because when he checked it said pending approval. He proceeded to call PD to see if they could unlawfully request ID verification from technician . Bradenton PD showed up and finally a supervisor almost an hour later and the house now at 85 degrees. Supervisor allowed the technicians to complete install due to high Florida heat & children inside.They issued ticket for the company and then left. Waste of everyone’s time, risked young kids well being all because he wouldn’t get off his high horse and allow the technicians to continue the job and just issue the company a ticket for fines. My son has asthma and other health issues that were impacted by the lack of human decency of Lyman. He needs to take off his ex law enforcement hat and learn how to communicate and understand that there are ways to handle this situation correctly and still do his job."

"Mr Craig Lyman in code enforcement needs to be relieved of his duty as a code enforcement officer He has chosen to single my roommate and I to harass One of the owners of this property is a disabled vet He served his country with dignity Mr Lyman has no right to disrespect him by continuously harassing us and make rude discriminating comments We have corrected the minor violations but he keeps bothering us He has now sent another letter complaining about the same violations that were corrected We have been singled out by him because if you look around the neighborhood there are much worse violations he has chosen to ignore yet he keeps harassing us I think a vet deserves a little more respect than Lyman has been showing and his repulsive remark was completely uncalled for He needs to leave us alone we have fixed what asked for Go somewhere else and harass someone like my neighbors that illegally turned their garage into party room with all the furniture Something needs to be done about him He is doing nothing more than disrespecting a Disabled Veteran by harassing us Our property has been kept up and kept clean What does this man want A couple of my neighbors and Lyman have chosen to harass us because they disagree with us When it comes to something personal they need to mind there own business I don't bother them or Lyman they need to leave us alone I have been considering a lawsuit because it is the only way this man is going to leave us alone This has been going on for a couple of months Mr Lyman also trespassed because code enforcement is not allowed to go on private property and deface private property He needs to stop harassing us and go about his business with the other neighbors What he is doing is subhuman and he has no right to continually harass us Leave us alone"
