Two weeks later, it is gone. Again, rubbish and discarded furniture litter the yard, which is covered with animal feces. It would take four more inspections during a month's time before the cleanup is complete. The garbage is back, followed a month later by a discarded refrigerator and more animal feces. The inspector calls for a city crew.
Someone apparently cleans the yard before city workers arrive.
The memo supporting the charge notes the city had visited the house more than 100 times since 1990. David Nins is cited when an inspector finds more than 15 bags of trash piled in the yard. The citation is later dismissed in Housing Court, after Nins produces a sales contract that shows the tenant, Lori Mattix, is buying the home from him. A school social worker reports the house is filthy, smelly and crawling with bugs. He finds cat feces throughout the house, uncovered electrical outlets and signs of water damage on the kitchen ceiling from a leak in the upstairs bathroom.
