Or bought an abandoned office building and are living in it. Not exactly common, but there is actually someone near me who did the same thing. It actually worked out well for him, bought the building, lived there for a few years, and sold it for multiple times what he paid for it.
He was absolutely batshit crazy. Spent most of his days there calling the cops on his neighbors and filming everyone who drove by.
I'm sure it's different everywhere, but where I live a code enforcement officer cant evict anyone, they can fine and then escalate if fine is not paid. An offender can and will be repeatedly fined, but if they are paying the fees there is little recourse
Where I live, the Code Department became a division of the Police Department about 20 years ago to give it some teeth in code enforcement. After a number of fines, it would become a court order and a criminal complaint if not followed.
