[quote=Anonymous]There is a house at the entrance to our street in CCDC that was in abysmal shape for years: paint peeling off in sheets, cracked and missing windows, siding missing, gutters detached and hanging off the house. Grass-weeds > 1 foot high. Papers piled up in the weeds.  Seriously, a for-profit haunted house had nothing on this address.

A middle-aged, medium income family lives there.  There are at least 4 able-bodied humans at this address (so it's absolutely not the case of the destitute elderly shut-in who can't mow grass).   One has a GS-14 / SES job.

Every. EVERY single single new visitor -- and some repeat visitors -- to my house comments on this property at the entrance to our street.  As in, wtf, cant the DC govt take some sort of action here?

Finally inspectors began to cite them for nuisance grass > 12 inches. So at least there's that.  Some of the dangling siding and gutters have just been pulled off, so the House of Fright thing is slightly improved.   Yay. [/quote]
