No, they shouldn't, any more than they should have the legal capacity to hand out fines to people with disgusting beards or yellow teeth. The purpose of government in a free society is to
protect our liberty and property rights, not violate them.
A building that poses a genuine threat to peope's safety is one thing. But if you don't like the
look of someone's building, just deal with it.
