Hey,

I have a dumpster in my front yard. Do you think the town of huntington will send inspectors to checkout my kitchen remodel cause they have seen the dumpster? Its only been there for one week.

Maybe if your neighbors turn you in.

You can always say you're just removing junk. Which is technically true.

My sister had to get a dumpster when she bought a house from a hoarder (family friend so she got a good deal, but he was still a hoarder).

But what if an inspector shows up to the house? I can tell him I was just removing junk, but what if he wants to come inside? Do I have to let him / her inside?

Never let anyone in your home

Inspectors do not go around looking for violations, someone would have to rat you out.
Never let anyone into your home and be vague of someone stops by.

I just did 2 back-to-back bath remodels with a dumpster in my driveway for about a month in Huntington Station - no issues. You shouldn't have any problems unless your neighbors have some sort of beef and report you.

But you don't need to let anyone - including a town inspector - into your house without a warrant.

Inspector: :Why do you have a dumpster in your driveway
You: We have a lot of junk to get rid of
Inspector: Looks like debris from a remodel
You: Yup that's the junk. Previous owner left it all in the basement/garage/attic, we've had some damaged drywall as well.
Inspector: Mind if I come in?
You: Yes, I do, thanks for asking. Have a nice day.
