It seems that pig headed Nuno, or whom ever was offended, wanted to ruffle me feathers. The officer stated that someone presented a complaint. When I inquired regarding what, the vegetation on the photos is the culprit.
I have spent plenty of time pruning, trimming, cleaning on the premises during the last 44 months, them public servants assumed it was my property. When I informed the biked policeman the high yellows in laws of Leo, are the owners, his smile disappeared and left.
In Puerto Rico, almost everyjuan perceive any vegetation in general or vines as a hindrance, in particular those growing wild, spread by wind, birds or water. This beholder declares vines are particularly attractive growing in any abandoned space
making difficult the entering and exit to bums, providing
security If I may.
In any fence, cyclone fences for example, vines hide the metal, dull ugliness, providing housing and nectar for birds and insects. They reduce noise, heat with the added aesthetics of their flowers.
I decided to post on these issues since vegetation is perceived as garbage, like any other garbage you could think of. All this will be destroyed soon or later. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile here is the inventory.

Words of wisdom
Beauty may be in the eyes of the
beholder, only if he/she
is not a blind, deaf, mute
hog, without any concept
of what beauty is or should be
in the urban context.
The concrete/asphalted one
surrounding, asphyxiating
your humble servant.

People who consider plants as a hinderance are so sad, because of the wrong plant in the wrong place, or a lack of maintenance skills! The same often go to their popular place to buy plants, choose plants to install that they will later regret, leaving them for the next owner of their property. And so on.
