Town of Swampscott PLUS

Blighted property 29-31 Suffolk Ave. This property is semi-abandoned (teenagers/young adults in and out occasionally). The attic window has been wide open for 10 years. Owner is no where to be found, over grown grass and bushes, I've seen many critters around the property. This has been a blight on our neighborhood for many many years.

I’m sure the buckets weren’t intended t be dog poop receptacles. Request cleanup and better option to throw away bags

Trash, broken glass, and rats in walkway going up to house on 27 Spinale Rd.

This house has had a dumpster in front of it for several years. Trucks (not belonging the residents) pull up and dump their trash in it. This is in violation of by-laws that limit the amount of time a residence can have a dumpster in front of it, as well as who can put trash in it.

I filed a complaint about my next door neighbor in July of 2023 and again in November of 2023 in regard to the lack of upkeep of the proper gas well as the blatant disregard of picking up their dogs waste in between our two properties.As you can see, there are several examples of dog waste, some of which are actually on my property. This not only is inconsiderate but a health hazard. My wife spoke to one of the occupants about this matter and she disregarded it saying, “ I work 24/ 7 and my mom has cancer.” I would greatly appreciate the matter being addressed since this is my third complaint. In addition, the occupants have an unregistered and uninsured vehicle that has been sitting on their front lawn for well over a year.

Constant re-placement of huge dumpsters in driveway for past 3 years (no permits), trash constantly left out all week, no upkeep or maintenance of lot, 2 pigs on property, massive rat infestation. Entire neighborhood has complained about the state of this unsafe property in addition to numerous calls to police for domestic disputes, noise and rodent complaints. We do not feel safe outside in our own neighborhood. I have already had to pay for pest services on my own property, but that does nothing when they continue to breed and feed them across the street. My next step will be looking into private nuisance violations. In any other town or city this property would be in violation of so many laws. Many of the neighbors on Valley Road are ready to seek the help of an attorney.

This property has been abandoned for some time. When I walk my dogs in the evening I typically see a rat or 2 scurry towards the house (disgusting) I can only assume this is a health and safety issue for the neighborhood.
