Our leaf pick up isn’t until the end of the month, so my neighbor tried to be a good citizen and rake their leaves into tidy, but rather large pile in a corner of their backyard (visible from the street ). They fully planned to put them in the street when the street signs went up.

They got a letter from DPW saying they were violating city ordinance or something AND threatening a $200 fine if they didn’t remove the leaf pile within 7 days. It was deemed “excessive yard debris”. So they raked them into the street instead.

Jay Fink and the other people who at DPW are a joke.
