According to Section 28-9. All the barbed wire should be at least 6 feet high. The picture shows that barbed wire is falling from the fence. Second, the ordinance also allows barbed wire for lots of an acre. This lot is max 1/4 of an acre. Lastly it abuts the sidewalk, which it is not allowed to do.
Sec. 28-9. - Same—Barbed wire prohibited.
It shall be unlawful for any person owning or controlling any property in the city to construct, maintain or permit to remain on such property any fenceconstructed in whole or in part of barbed wire; provided, however, fences constructed in part of barbed wire shall be permitted if all of the barbed-wire portion thereof is six feet or more from the ground; and provided further, a plot of ground containing one acre or more may be fenced with barbed wire where such barbed wire does not abut to any extent whatsoever on a sidewalk or on an unimproved path or trail which is used by pedestrians for sidewalk purposes.
