There is an abandoned/condemned home at 3220 Carolina Ave. The grass and weeds are now overgrown and the pool in the backyard is still filled with dirty slimy water. We are concerned about rodents and vermin, also mosquitos breeding in the pool. There are many older people and young children on this block. There is also a bad smell coming from the backyard. We are not sure if it from garbage or a dead animal. We have seen a possum in the yard. We have called the city and so have our neighbors. We were told someone would come out and mow the lawn, but nobody has come. The city told us to call the health department about the pool, and the health department said to call the city. We are all very frustrated. What do we do?? I have attached a picture that best shows the grass and pool together.

We have called the city several time and been told they will be out to mow, but they still have not come. The city also says the health department is who should be notified about the pool, but, the health department says to call the city!

So overgrown you can barely see it

Bushes and plants overgrown and blocking sidewalk. Needs to be trimmed.

Vacant for a long time, now there's been NO upkeep to the yard at all since the spring. Bad enough we have several vacant houses in the area, but the ones that have nothing done to them hurt the whole area.

House has been vacant for years,,trees and grass so overgrown that you cant even see the house anymore,,needs taken care of
