Advice about VERY messy neighbor
Good morning everyone!
Hope everyone got their plants through the freeze safely. I am inquiring about who to notify about a messy neighbor. This isn't a "I have kids that make a mess" or "I just didn't get around to cleaning up my yard for a couple of weeks", or even "This is an ongoing work in progress." The yard is covered in garbage with two broken down cars in the driveway with torn bags of fertilizer, mulch and ohter moldy bags of god knows what all over the vehicles, broken pots all over the ground tipped over, rusted cans and garbage spewed all over the yard. I have seen the people who live there once only on a Saturday. I have asked other neighbors if there was a problem and perhaps we could go over and help. (Things happen so maybe they could use help cleaning) Everyone said, no that it was a young couple who was lazy and that stuff had been there for years. Most of the people in our neighborhood are very house proud and I love them for it, but having one house like that in the neighborhood has not only detracted from it's appearance, I now see that the people that live next to them have moved out and are trying to rent the home. It frightens me to think who would rent so close to a place that is such a disaster. Is there an agency in Raleigh / Garner that could be notified to request that this be taken care of? Thanks again, Jo |

Advice about VERY messy neighbor
Hi KJ!
Thank you for the article. They are a few houses down I would say about three. I am pretty sure there are not any covenants in the neighborhood, but we are new here and I will check around. I think my two biggest concerns is I have seen things like that spread from house to house and the second is that we will lose equity in our home if the neighborhood falls apart. I would like to stop by, but part of me says, don't do it. I wouldn't want to have to live down the road from my worst nightmare, so I would like to try to do it as anonymously as possible.

Advice about VERY messy neighbor
Hi KJ,
I am sorry if I gave the impression that I am not wanting neighbors. I happen to love most of my neighbors and I have no problems with anyone. I love seeing toys and garden items and all the things that make a home a home, I even love the fact that most of the kids have drifted their items into our yard. I love the sounds of playing and barking and all the things that make life worth living. ... but rusted beer cans and rotted bags of garbage aren't the items you would expect of a neighbor. I would never do that to my neighbors, so I would hope for the same in return. It isn't so much a legal issue, but wanting to know if there is an agency that can go to their house and say hey this is a hazard clean it up please. But I will take your advice and maybe do a stop by with a cake or something to meet the people to get an idea of what the situation is. If it is as simple as they are unable to do it, then perhaps getting together with some able body people to help is in order. Thanks again, Jo "Kelly Garner" wrote in message ...

Advice about VERY messy neighbor
I'm assuming you aren't in a neighborhood with a homeowners association or
covenants, because that would be the first way to go. I've heard of people being able to get the sheriff involved (there was an article in the N&O about such a case in Clayton), and the law enforcement involvement seemed to be tied to proving that the mess is a health hazard. The situation in the news article was because there was so much standing water in the garbage around the home that there were fears of mosquito breeding and then spreading disease. That might be your best bet. I don't know the law, but I'll bet there isn't anything that you can do purely on an appearance issue. Pauline "Joanna & Mark" wrote in message ... Good morning everyone!

If there's trash/garbage in the yard, they can step in on your behalf. Chuck |

I am heading over on the weekend to test the waters so to speak, but if all
else fails I will definitely take the advice of notifying some sort of health department. Thank you:) "C G" wrote in message ... Joanna & Mark wrote: Good morning everyone!

When I had a similar situation in Hillsborough, I called the County Manager.
(It was actually outside the town limits, so the county was the appropriate authority.) There are laws about garbage in your yard and they can be enforced, regardless of health codes or neighborhood covenants. Just start calling the county or city offices until you get someone to tell you who's job it is. If you go over and talk to the neighbors and get nowhere (which is likely) you'll just let them know who told the authorities. So don't approach them is my advice. Someone who throws garbage in their yard could give a rat's ass about your opinion or your offer to "help." In my case, the county manager wrote a letter to the party indicating complaints had been made but leaving my name out of it. It took a few weeks and a second more threatening letter (she sent me copies to let me know she was working on it), but the garbage was cleaned up. In the second letter legal action was threatened for non-compliance by a certain date. "Joanna & Mark" wrote in message ... Good morning everyone!

Speaking of messy - wrapping mime formats around something that should
be plain text looks messy to me. ;-) If you are in the county you may be out of luck. If in a town check with zoning and see what they may be violating. Good luck. We had one house on the street that the shutters fell off and the siding was rotting before they repaired and replaced. 5 years of an eyesore. Thankfully the front yard has a steep slope so they never put any cars on blocks on it.
