Mow Your Lawn, Or Else

A few entries have been made about contacting the city to cut the grass on the side of the house that is public property. Usually it takes several notices and then some. It was rather amusing to see this article in the local news:

MOW YOUR LAWN, OR ELSE
wtop.com: "Homeowners who tend to be lazy when it comes to mowing your lawn: If you don't start cutting your grass soon, it could cost you. Starting this Sunday and continuing through Oct. 31, you could face fines of more than $500 if grass or weeds on your property in D.C. are more than 10 inches high. You could also get in trouble with the city if vegetation in your yard is tall enough to cover trash, provide a hiding place for burglars, or give a home to creepy creatures like rats or snakes. The District's Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs will hang warning notices on the doors of homes where grass is getting close to the maximum allowable height."  

Does this work both ways? I could become a millionaire. 
This far exceeds the 10 inch limit
