  • 77 Pine St Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    Trash that was not picked up last week was left out and has been hit by cars and eaten by rats. Now blowing around the neighborhood. Absentee landlord. Please post their address so we can box all the trash and send it to them. It's ridiculous the health department has let this house have the same issues repeatedly.
  • 4 Valley Road Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    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.

  • 33 Banks Rd Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott

  • 64 Fuller Avenue Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    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.
  • 6 Jessie Street Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    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.
  • 54 Foster Road Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    I am a neighbor of the property of 54 Foster Road.
    One photo depicts the backyard grass which hasn’t been cut in a year in a half.
    There are animals that have taken up residence in the overgrown grass and get into my yard at night.
    Last weekend my dog killed a rabbit that could have possibly come in from that property.
    The second picture depicts trash that has been left on the stoop for two and a half weeks.
    As you again can see animals have gotten into the trash and is of grave concern.
    Last week while cutting my lawn a wild Turkey was feeding off the trash and had to keep my head on a swivel for concern the turkey might attack.
    I would appreciate the matter being addressed.
    Thank you!
  • 2 Humphrey St Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott

    This pile has been growing and it's wet, stinks, and today I found their trash on my car! Yes, on my car.

    There's so much of it they can't keep it under control.

    My car is 20-30' down the adjacent driveway in a covered, reserved parking spot. 5 large boxes and one of these trash barrels. This pile is directly outside of my bedroom and living window as well and it's all I see when I open my blinds. It's unsightly and unsanitary.

    Bottom line is it needs to be required to be removed please. This picture shows only half of the pile.

    Please have this removed. Thank you.

  • 56 Buena Vista St Swampscott, MA, 01907, USA - Swampscott
    Are barrels of leaves labeled as such still picked up or did something change? I put out a barrel of leaves today and it wasn't picked up. I can leave it out there if they can come back tomorrow...
  • 59 Franklin Avenue Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott

    The resident at 59 Franklin has disposed of an old carpet by leaving it on the parkway. It has been here rotting for about two months. Can we please advise the resident to take care of this?

    Hate to see the neighborhood deteriorate.

  • 01907 Swampscott, MA, USA - Swampscott
    Trash all over the ground in Jackson Park.
  • Suffolk Ave Swampscott, Massachusetts, 01907 - Swampscott
    It has been an ongoing issue with trash and recycling. They are leaving my barrels literally in the middle of the street and leaving my neighbors barrels in the middle of MY driveway where I have to move their barrels (multiple) so I can leave my driveway. This is every week and I see it happening to others on my street. Any help is appreciated.
