We’ve all seen the funny picture of the yard sign pointing to the neighbor’s house saying he doesn’t have guns, so rob him not me (really, I don’t think the sign is that funny).  But in all seriousness, a bad neighbor can definitely hurt when you are trying to sell your home.

If these miscreants refuse to correct these conditions in a decent and acceptable manner, you can report them to the animal control department, the health department, and the district attorney’s office.

More importantly, it should help to eliminate a disgraceful condition for which there is no reasonable excuse.
