The problem with the hoarder home is more than just the mess inside and outside.

The hoarder home owner “harasses the children of my best friend, which is directly across the street from my house. Anybody that goes against her—she throws terror underneath their feet to get her way,” said Mead.

Last March, a San Diego city inspector went to the home. According to CBS8, Inspector Justin Welker found trash piles as high as 4 feet, rotting food, and signs of “rodent infestation.”

“Words cannot adequately describe the condition of the master toilet,” he wrote in his report. “It was smeared with brown filth and the stall floor covered in trash.”

He went on to describe the exterior: “The in-ground pool was partially filled with green water, presumably algae, which is a potential breeding ground for vectors, such as mosquitos.”

During that time, the homeowner also appeared in front of a civil court judge who was supposed to decide whether or not to send a court-appointed receiver to the property to clean it up, but the homeowner’s request for a continuance was granted.

The investigation by CBS8 found court filings dating to 2009.

Realtor.com has uncovered a recent anonymous complaint sent to the San Diego Police Department describing a “court ordered, sealed up hoarder home now taken over by homeless.” It was reported on Oct. 18, 2024. Realtor.com has reached out to the SDPD for more information.

    Check with HOA!? Seems like the HOA hasn’t done enough to fix this problem.

    The owner/occupant could be suffering from some debilitating health/mental issues. A family member or neighbor should reach out to a Public Fiduciary/Public Administrator/Public Guardian to see if this might be a better option for the owner/occupant. After removing the occupant(s), probably best to just tear it down and rebuild! Sad!

    Control burn to the ground and clear the lot. I will never get on my wife and kids for how messy our house is anymore. That’s for sure.
