[quote=Anonymous]Fairfax county here. Our neighbors (at least three adult couples live in that home) next door are generally not very concerned with "curb appeal," but over the last year or so, it's gone from their preference to everyone else's problem. . The back of the property has become overrun with vines, random trees/shrubs, and overgrown plants that are damaging the shared fence. Their shed has been entirely consumed by vegetation. Branches of their maple trees have fall and damaged the fences, and have been left for the elements to handle. Multiple abandoned buckets and kiddie pools outside have filled with whatever rain water and have become mosquito sanctuary bogs, all of which they lovingly placed around fences. Under their desk is more vines, trash, and I frequently see Norway rats running into and under the deck (which the cat colony they feed certainly does nothing about!). My family can't enjoy our yard regardless of what we do, because the swarms of mosquitos coming from just the other side of the fence is relentless, and the growing piles of trash will attract even more rodents. We've spoken with them, we've offered to split the cost of repairing the fence and addressing the vegetation that has damaged it, but they're uninterested. When we mentioned the rats, they said the rats "come and go." Would you call code compliance? [/quote]
