Hoarder’s Home Buried Under 8 Feet of Junk

Seeing the large piles of junk from street-level is one thing. Taking a look at it from a bird’s-eye view is another. A hoarder who lives in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles is causing headaches for neighbors whose homes are nearby. “A home is supposed to be a place that is safe and clean. You don’t imagine your home to be right next to this,” neighbor Edward Lim told KCBS. Inside Edition Digital’s Stephanie Officer has the details.

STORY UPDATE: Los Angeles Officials Vow to Clean Up Hoarder House

[Linaaaaaa.]

The fact that the city doesn’t even care is insane, im glad it went out to the news and now let’s see if the city will actually help this time.

[Tiberius]

It would be funny if the inside of the house is clean and immaculate.

[Bama]

There’s no valid excuse from the city to have let this get that bad

[marcusmulethaler]

I’m actually surprised at how everything stays on his property perfectly.

[LUCKSREVENGE]

The fact that this was allowed to grow to such magnitude over time. Just no words can express

[Rythmortis]

Guy has the nicest neighbors there is no way I could stare at that for years.

[prestonvanhorn]

That poor lady has been living next to that for ten years.

Officials ignored her for TEN YEARS, what an absolute disgrace. There must be some reason they couldn’t act sooner right? That amount of time is absurd.

[barb]

The fact that the town let it get to this level says a lot

[keithbiz]

The show Hoarders is like _"Whoa, hold up, we were saving this for the season finale"_

[eaterofcrayons]

1 match and the whole block is going up in flames. They need that removed ASAP.

[KungFuChess]

The neighbors could probably throw their trash on his property and none would notice

[kat-yuh]

The fact that the owner of this house had no one in their life who could get them the help they need...I feel so bad for everyone involved in this case :(

[kiki.nico.]

This is heartbreaking. That poor woman has had to look at that and smell that for over 10 years. I really hope the city steps in and helps. The man is not going to be able to clean it on his own.

[Newuk]

This person suffered a major loss and never dealt with it or accepted it. He fills the void and emptiness with things. On a psychological and spiritual level this is sad. I pray he will begin the journey of healing and letting go. ✨

[helenstylianou]

I can’t believe the Municipality would let it get so bad without doing something! It’s ridiculous, and how can one family generate so much junk?!!

[victoriamadlein]

“Clean your room!”

“It’s not that bad, mom!”

[kimleone]

Hoarding is a mental illness. There's usually a deep seated anxiety and it is oftentimes triggered by some event. That being said, The city is going to have to step in here. The smell and the insects have got to be horrendous

[denniszenanywhere]

I helped an old lady move her things from her old house to her new house. I thought it was going to be easy work but nope, it was not. There were lots of stuff dating back to the 60s. I think she kept them because she came from poverty and valued everything she owned. She knew how it was like to have nothing, so she kept everything.

[EmmaShadyLilly]

I am a hoarder myself and I know the struggle to throw things away which can still be used. But this is even way out of my imagination.
