I have to agree that the bylaw enforcement hand comes down with bizarre priority most of the time. On the other hand, if you get along well with your neighbours they are less likely to rat you out. But back on the original hand, it is too easy for someone to get you in trouble through a simple phone call. For residential bylaw complaints, I think the city should charge a nominal fee to the complainant - $20 say - payable up front. If the complaint leads to a charge, it gets reimbursed. Maybe enforcement could be focussed oin real issues instead of petty "i'm gonna tell on you" cases.
