He has way too many vehicles on this lot.What is so disturbing is this is the FIRST house..the ENTRYWAY to our neighborhood and this "yard" using the term loosely is appalling.

Hi Barbara,
I'll drive by there on my way home and see if a photo is possible. This is becoming more and more of an issue in our neighborhood. And it's creating an undesirable environment.
We're going to take on these inoperable "junk" vehicles one car at a time.
Thanks,
Ron

The Old Everett Neighborhood Association public safety meeting is today at 7 pm. The meetings are at the McLaren-Greater Lansing education center at Greenlawn and S. Washington avenues.
This could be something to bring up during the meeting. City Council members tend to attend. For more information, check out www.oldeverett.org.

I got an email from Amy Castillo yesterday saying she has been out to the property and is writing this up along with help from her supervisor because of some problems she's had with this guy in the past.
Question....is it easier for the City to get this kind of thing addressed if I tell her to use my name..or if I make the complaint in some fashion so it's CLEAR that this is MY complaint and a neighborhood problem and NOT something the City is doing to this guy just "because"?
This is not a "nice"guy and I'm sure he'll give me problems..but he is destroying our neighborhood entryway and if this is what is needed to get him snapped into line...I'm ok with it.
Any suggestions?Am I looking at this wrong?

Has Public Service been contacted in regards to the curb and driveway?
It looks like this property was cited for trash:

Where can I find out if a house is a legal rental and when the last inspection was done and any non pass items are noted.
I have been in this State and City since 2011 never even heard of such things in Arizona where I came from but have been in 4 houses in 3 years that were not legal to rent!
Would appreciate any help in this.

Code compliance does lose days of valuable time responding to frivolous repeat complaints. They are compelled to assess each one. At times arriving to a property it is obvious the complaint is exaggerated. If you scan this seasons posts on Clixfix" you will see numerous "grass and weeds over 8 inch" complaints. In my neighborhood we actually have "concerned" neighbors who walk the area with a notepad! They repeatedly report the "out of compliance" condition of lawns at obviously abandoned properties and homes with For Sale signs. Common sense should speak that these homes won't have the yards mowed weekly. Many home owners in our neighborhood have garden yards, all store purchased plants, no GRASS. The Nosie Rosies fill this site with complaints of grass and weeds exceeding 8" when there are neither GRASS or WEEDS on the property. Purchased plants are not an issue.
Where I'm going with this is...I've found code compliance to be reasonable to work with, open to sharing helpful advice, but stretched too far attending to all of the frivolous callers. Individuals need to REPORT RESPONSIBLY. We as taxpayers pay for the work of code compliance.They are compelled to spend their week attending to whiners nonsense complaints when they could be focused on real issues, possibly like the property being discussed here.
Another point to consider is that code compliance responds, advises, gives time for a remedy, and later checks for progress. In the mean time a repeat complaint is generated by someone who expected overnight results (or exacting results only meeting the needs of the caller and not inclusive of the property owners needs). Code compliance is compelled to revisit the same issue before they and the property owner have found a solution. They don't have enough time in a work week to keep up with complaints from those having "too much time on their hands".
Not saying this is the case in your neighborhood Bobbie as you've clearly tried to resolve differences for an extended length of time. Naturally the LAST thing you want to hear about now is, give it time and be patient... Really hoping for all involved that a solution can be worked out. Wishing each of you some pleasant summer days in your neighborhood.

Well isn't it time ti try something new?
Like asking a Justice of the Peace for an "Injunction"?
Or as many people as possible going to a City council" meeting with large photos and requesting something be done?
Or as many people as possible going to the Mayors office with a petition to correct this problem?
OR contact ALL TV STATIONS and NEWSPAPERS within 50 miles and request coverage of the problem?
Just posting complaints on here is getting you no ware and calls complaining about it are getting the same result.
One other thing is to directly sue the owner of the property!
