If you’ve ever been cited by a Code Enforcement Officer, either as an individual or a business owner/manager, what was it for? ~

I had a small set-up on the sidewalk downtown then a couple of police people came along to check out what kind of business I was doing and if I had a permit. When I showed them I was doing palm reading they said that's OK;  I don't need a city lisence if I am not selling a product. 
No citation,  ha ha.

ok
     Was doing a remodel
on a ground floor apt
with the windows on the street open.
(Dumb...should have been closed with curtains)
 I did not pull a permit to do the job.
     Remembering there were three of us
working, when a building inspector that i knew
stuck his head in the window and said Hey, saw your truck 
while walking by so i thought i would say hi.
Yeah...looks nice...how you been? you got a Permit right?
Busted!

My excavator told me it was o.k. to use the water from a waterline he had just installed. So I was mixing a bucket of concrete for some small chore. Meanwhile, the neighbor comes outside to smoke. He is the 'City Services Administrator' and he asks me if I have a meter on that water. So I express some anger and argue with him. He gained a new neighbor enemy. He died of lung cancer a few years later.
