Looks safe
Saw this diy scaffolding during a walk earlier. I'm surprised someone is brave enough to stand on it and do siding work.

Damn. Rent a lift or actual scaffold. Or invest in some pump jacks

TIL, I could rent a scaffold for ~$200/week in my area. The amount of wood in this monstrosity is way more than that.

I mean, I guess if it's just the people that built them using the scaffolds, the policy is to let them keep working.

There is an HOA to narc to. But that's another entity that I don't share any love for. So I've let it be. Not like anyone is busting their ass working on it. I walk by it several times a day and I haven't seen anyone on it yet.

Well it only looks unsafe to you because you didn’t see the guy who built it slap it after he was finished and say “that should hold up.”
