My neighbors are leaving trash under the stairs .......help!!?

Question

im having a huge problem with the exact same thing. I live in Las Vegas where the heat is just as bad. Yhe trash under my stairs from my downstairs neighbors has been there approaching 3 weeks. I called the association since I won my condo & they have done absolutely nothing. I called the health department nearly 3 times. There are flys and maggots under my stairs today . I went down and knocked on the door and asked when they planned on taking the trash out & she said " when i feel like it" then I said "actually the trash needs to please go out today." she got in my face n said "what are you gonna do about it." I dont want to be arrested for domestic dispute (not to mention shes about twice my size) Im at a loss , im scared my home that I own will become infested. Does any have any suggestions????

help please!

Answer 1

i wonder if you could bring a law suit against her for keeping a public nuisance? take pics and have your documented calls to the public health authority handy.

Answer 2

move all the trash in front of her door and light it on fire.

Answer 3

At night sprinkle it around in front of some of the other apartments..........and see if anyone cares........just leave an arrow pointing to the correct unit........for the health department employee's....lol......have fun........Now do you believe that God said we are lazy...........and why he told us not to kill...............only choice you have.........ohhhhhhhhhhhhh    lol rof

Answer 4

You know what always works out here(Australia)? Go to the press or a TV current affairs program & get some bad publicity for those who have ignored your requests.That gets them moving everytime!

Answer 5

Phone the city bylaw enforcement line.  They'll fine the tenant.

Answer 6

their car windows are down in the night yes

good luck

Answer 7

I would start by spraying it with bug spray when they aren't home. At least that will help with that part of the problem.

Maybe the spray will stink until it begins to bug THEM. But I doubt it.

The health department or some city service should be concerned.

TAKE PICTURES!  You need to document any complaints. At least make a record of how long it has been there, the day and time you contacted them, any calls you have made and so forth. Keep a log of it.

The documentation helps protect you because there is little doubt in my mind they will try to deny it has been there long or that you said anything.

Good Luck.
