New Bedford woman disgusted by yard being used as a dumpster by nightmare neighbor

Part of living in a city is the close proximity of neighbors whether above or below you in a tenement or “next door.” In either case, you have likely encountered a nightmare neighbor or ten. The range of nightmare neighbors can be anything from being noisy in the wee hours, competing for parking spots, or even dealing drugs.

What is the worst one you’ve ever had to deal with? One resident is disgusted by her trashy neighbor who apparently thinks the yard is the city dump.

“This landlord threw the trash left by a tenant out the window of the 2nd-floor apartment.

When I asked “Why?” he said he couldn’t afford a dumpster. So you throw it out a window in the yard for your neighbors to look at? Not to mention the broken glass and trash is going to draw rodents.

I called the City and they cited him and also are trying to help him find someone to clean it up. They helped him clean up a good portion of this, but now there is garbage all over his yard which keeps blowing around to my yard.

The City was very proactive in getting this cleaned up: I called Thursday morning and they came by the house in a 1/2 hour and called me back stating they were going to take action. The city really stepped up to get this mess cleaned up. But what was the mindset of this individual?! Meanwhile, this is my view from my kitchen every day!

These are the “people in my neighborhood”! I wonder how long before it is cleaned up? This is a health hazard to our community and the landlord should be made to pay a fine!” -Debra.

UPDATE: “This is how it looks today! Not sure what is going to be done with the broken glass and trash. Such a mess!”
