I have complained regarding this problem neighbor in the past. Although the previous report was tagged "complete," there is no apparent decrease in the amount of accumulated junk inside or outside the house. Rather, the amount of refuse outside has increased considerably and the limited view inside the house shows a similar increase in junk piled to the ceiling. The rear fence is failling over in multiple spots and that may represent an invitation for children to access the yard and pool area, creating a significant risk. Please address the actual problem of speaking to the resident, rather than just delivering a notice to the doorstep and calling that "complete."

I think it's worth saying that - as much as that home situation is distasteful - I don't think we should generally be encouraging governmental intervention into how neat our home is, or how much stuff we own. A room full of boxes, well cared for, is none of my neighbors' business, nor the government's.

But, the line is drawn if that place is a hazard - vermin, mosquitos, or even a biological/health or fire hazard is where I think we have a right to be protected. Truly, there are only three main issues, and they're regarding public safety:
1) the unprotected pool, which could lead to injury/death
2) the pool's stagnant water, which we are repeatedly warned can lead to mosquito breeding
3) the presumably unsafe interior, which makes it a potential public health hazard.

So, the fence repair and the regular vector inspection are mandatory, from anyone's perspective. I would think it's in the best interests of the owners or any others who would be responsible for problems caused by inaction or negligence.

Cover on swimming pool = good. Still large amounts of debris in the backyard.

It has the appearance of _trying_ to be organized somehow, but it's still organized junk.

Happened to walk past as the garage - similarly packed with stuff - was open.

Again, I think it's not the government's business to tell us how neat we should be, but it does have a role in preventing public health hazards, such as obvious breeding places for vermin.

staff is working with owner to have site cleaned up.

Looks like there's activity to organize all the stuff, and the pool's covered. Thanks.

The owner has been placed in assisted living and the children are cleaning up the property.

Thank you for all your help. Last time we walked by, there appeared to be a great deal of progress, organizing the backyard and boxing some of the junk. The pool cover is clean and dry, no pooled water.

This is being taken care of. Thanks

Status----CLOSED!

Cleaned up.
