Hoarder home in Bay Terraces finally getting cleaned up

Hoarder home in Bay Terraces finally getting cleaned up

[keefmeister]

In case you didn't get it: this house hasn't had water service in 2 years, meaning the resident(s) are doing their stuff in bottles and containers and then throwing those on the lawn. But hey, they save like, $30 a month.

City is negligent. Neighbors should sue them

[gimmelmom]

I imagine that some of the neighboring houses will get inundated with rats and bugs now.

Hoarding is a mental issue, simply going in and taking/throwing everything away wont solve the issue and can actually make it worse, it will look the same again in less than 6 months if the mental issue isnt dealt with properly .

HEALTH CODES NEED TIME IS 60 DAYS....NO IF you cannot afford it...the county pays for it and then bills the property owner must pay it back or lose the property. STOP THIS NONSENSE!!!

[shannondoyle]

Shameful. Too close to neighbors to burn or bomb.

I wouldn't go inside that house with full Hazmat suit on just tare it down., and clear the lot

[waltoneames]

What a mess how can you just let this happen in rhe first place .the city should have done something when it first started. Sad the neighbors have to put up with this .just unbelievable, very sad .

so this random video showed up just now on my YouTube page... I clicked and started half watching and half listening to this... Then at the end.. I saw the reporter there at the desk and did a double take... had to start to video over to see if I was correct in my surprise. I knew Steve was a reporter in California...but, where exactly I was not totally sure. And for a random video to pop up... HI! Steve! Cool to see you in action. We went to school together and I am still friends with your mom....

THIS IS EVEN MORE TERRIBLE, BECAUSE IT'S A CULDE SAC. HE HAS BROUGHT DOWN PROPERTY VALUE SO BAD.

[xmiller]

pfft..what hoard? they still have plenty of space on the roof to store plastic bins/s

[sb]

If that sets fire all the houses around are going down too sad

[lencicollier]

The City Govt... is "useless"...
There's NO reason to take SO long getting that situation under control... smdh
ALL those neighboring owners having to deal with... and suffer through that "daily mayhem"... ridiculous..

[marjoriekarrick]

That is why a lot of these newer neighborhoods have HOA, it’s because of messy people who are either hoarders or just a lot of broken down vehicles. They may paint their house with wild colors or do crazy wild thing with their landscape or just nature take over with weeds out of control. All of this brings down the property values their surrounding neighbors.

If the homeowner passes away - worst case scenario - the executor of his estate gets the task of having all that cleaned up. Wonder where all that mess will wind up then? Landfill, most likely. Hopefully some of it will get saved and sent for recycling, but looking at the condition of the junk in the video, I very much doubt that much of it will get considered for recycling or resale.

[jrap]

Now that's a true environmentalist

[Once-]

He’s helping the environment by not putting all the junk in a landfill.

[nathanielaustin]

Even after cleaning they still need to demolished the home and make it a lot. Retired coast guard military or not, no running water for 2 years, he should have some money saved up with all those checks. It's a shame he looks like that, enough said.

[tinnelledwards]

They shouldn't have never let it get that far that neighborhood needs HOA so now that might as well bring in the bulldozers and tare that house down

[ArielStanley-lg]

i have abusive man in my home wont leave .
