“Dear PoPville,
I am writing for some sage advise from yourself or an experienced reader. I recently purchased a house in D.C. I am super excited about making this house be all that it can, but sadly I have one neighbor that keeps his property in such a state that it will detract from all of my efforts. Both his front porch and rear yard are so littered with trash that I am considering calling the casting department for A&E’s Hoarders.
I haven’t lived in D.C. long so I don’t know if any systems are in place for such problems. How can I make this guy do what he refuses to do? Is there anything I or a city agency can do, or do I just have to try to hide his house with some shrubs come spring? (there is also a smell over there that I am sure can be little else than death – lets at least hope not human)
Thank you
Desperate D.C. Newbie”
Has anyone dealt with a successfully with a similar situation? If so did you have to involve a government agency like DCRA?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
