Answer 1

Call one of your city commissioner's.

Answer 2

Look into your area's zoning laws, and if you are in a development the owner may have contractual guidelines for property owners and the property upkeep.

In more rural areas without zoning laws, there's a reason people have garbage dumps in their yards...cause there's no law against it.

Step one, contact your county / town and see where that gets you.
