It's one of the funniest cartoons ever made, but residents living in the town of Hillsborough in San Mateo County, California are not seeing the funny side of a home nicknamed 'The Flintstone House' A complaint has been filed against the home which sits on a quiet suburban street with locals calling the building a 'public nuisance' alleging 'landscape modifications to the home were conducted without planning approvals or building permits.' The home isn't owned by Fred Flintstone but Florence Fang, a former publisher of the San Francisco Examiner and now helms the San Mateo-based Florence Fang Family Foundation. The current owner, Florence Fang, has embraced the cartoonish look of the home and added dinosaur statues and a sign reading 'Yabba Dabba Doo' in recent months The dinosaurs are visible from the Interstate which passes by. The town council say planning permission was not requested In a lawsuit filed in the San Mateo County Superior Court, the town of Hillsborough is calling the home a public nuisance 'Flintstone House' can be seen from Interstate 280 in California having been built in 1976 and entertains passing drivers A menagerie of prehistoric animals now stands guard at the famous Flintstone House, in Hillsborough, California. Three dinosaurs, a giraffe and a mastadon were added by Florence Fang, the home's new owner The 'Flintstone House,' with its iconic orange and purple domes have become a loved (and hated) Bay Area landmark along the northbound commute up Interstate 280 'Before, passing by, I always wondered who's living in that house. Now I'm the one,' said the 83-year-old retired media mogul to Mercury News after buying the home last year. Fang bought the orange-and-purple house in 2017 for $2.8million, but soon after purchasing the property, a number of dinosaur sculptures began appearing around the house and in the backyard according to SFGate. Fang termed the new installations which are sculptures, 'extensive improvements' and a sign reading 'Yabba Dabba Doo,' Fang also built a wall, steps, columns, gates, a parking strip and a deck to 'accommodate her plan to use 45 Berryessa for parties and social gatherings.' Florence Fang has revitalized the house by turning it into a massive arts-and-crafts project The town of Hillsborough says the home a public nuisance saying Fang is overdue in addressing municipal code violations and must remove the landscaping improvements that were installed without planning approvals or building permits According to the suit, the Hillsborough Building Department issued a stop order December 11, 2017, and issued two others January 12, and August 1, 2018, when work continued at the home. Fang has paid a $200 fine but not removed the models The town say because the improvements were made on an area larger than 10,000 square feet and because some unenclosed structures may have been located within setbacks, planning approvals for those improvements were required The prehistoric critters are among the first new signs of life at the home that languished on the market, unsold, for two years The view from a sitting room in the so-called Flintstone House, looks out on a cactus garden in a window to the west But locals in the town of Hillsborough aren't happy and claim the modifications create 'life-safety hazards'. Fang is accused of allegedly carrying out the alterations without going through official channels and requesting planning permission or building permits. The Hillsborough Building Department issued a series of Stop Work Notices to Fang between December 2017 and August 2018, but she continued to modify the property. Fang has been cited for multiple violations of the Municipal Code and a $200 penalty was imposed. The dinosaurs are 'a highly visible eyesore' that is 'out of keeping with community standard' The Building Department demanded that the prehistoric models be removed by December 5, however it appears that as of Wednesday, the sculptures are still standing. The home was built by architect William Nicholson in 1976 with the intention of experimenting new building materials and techniques. The home is a favorite of I-280 commuters and fans of the 1960s animated television series 'The Flintstones.' It was the fourth most-viewed property in the MLS network in 2017 upon hitting market in 2016, having remained under the same ownership for 20 years. The unique contours of the kitchen in the so-called Flintstone House are reflected in a glass countertop Inside the home, the 'Flintstone House's' rounded rooms are spacious and bright Fang estimates she’s spent as much as a quarter million dollars improving and decorating the home The house has unique charm and definintely has that 'Bedrock' feel such as in the bathroom with the exposed rocks This is the conversation room, a sunken living room with an orange couch, a fireplace and a huge, rounded window overlooking the Crystal Springs Reservoir The home looks to be exceptionally comfortable despite that quirky nature of the interior and unique designAll rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
