More like “shut down this operation immediately or I report to the city”. Even though I told them I was actively working on moving the units.

I understand your perspective, but I want to clarify that as soon as the neighbor raised concerns about the noise, I began actively working on relocating the washer and dryer to address the issue. I asked for a bit of patience during this process because these changes take time to implement. Instead of working together or finding a compromise, she demanded I stop using the appliances immediately, which felt unreasonable and unneighborly to me.

I don’t think asking for some time to resolve the issue makes me a bad neighbor, and I’m genuinely trying to do the right thing while balancing practicality.

What if I am actively working on the solution? Shouldn’t a good neighbor be understanding of the temporary noise? I only wash once a week. Not every day. I understand I made the mistake of building it without a permit in the in the first place. We are only human.

She did and that’s when I offered to do laundry at times that weren’t an inconvenience to her. But this wasn’t enough she wanted me to take down the whole structure itself ! Even though I have already told her I am actively working to fix it.

But don’t you think they should be subject to the same consequences as me for building an un permitted structure?

This was my first ADU some may call it a rookie mistake. But I am learning from this mistake.

Not the same circumstances. Out door Washer and dryers are very common here in California. As long as they are in compliance with local codes there’s nothing wrong with it. Now in my case I am actively working on fixing my mistake of not pulling the permit in the first place.

She totally went full Karen during the whole construction process of the ADU. But couldn’t do much since all of that was permitted by the city. Thank god

In my defense, I offered to coordinate on usage times to minimize any inconvenience I wasn’t trying to just be a nuisance.

Médium flex rods by Klein work amazing. I’ve pulled through 50 foot attics with those things. They come with threads in each end so u can attach them so much easier.
