also I believe in the past, the fee was $500.00 if the city mowed the lawn. As bad as the city needs money, it won't be free this time either. I have one of those lazy people down the street from me. I called the realestate company and said ' I"m curious about how bad do you want to sell this house?' He never mows the lawn and who wants to buy a neglected house on the outside, imagie what the inside looks like" He always let the man next door's son mow the front and the back was waist high. We are working on hime too. I saw him out with a weed wacker on Friday. How do you just live in a house and do nothing to it, SMH

Last I heard, the building dept was working on an ordinance to makes mortgage companies and banks who own these properties responsible for maintance and making these homes safe and secure or issue tickets and fines. I'll check on that soon as they open on Monday to see where they are with this.

Roberto, It is not just about my wanting the lawn mowed. When I last check there are ordinances and just simply taking pride in where you live. Yes what happened to the idea of "community" I am doing my part to remind people that yes you do live in a community and yes if you don't mow your lawn and maintain your property it affects us all. You live in a community do your part. If you cant or don't want to do yard work get condo or apartment.
The neighbour has been mowing half of the front lawn. It is not my responsibility. And Robert Cry me a river sometimes you simply have to solve your own problems.
Mona, is there a way to get the city of Pontiac to have a fine of at least $300 for these lawns. If it is a rental, foreclosure or whatever some one owns the property issue a fine use the money collected to plant trees and flowers along the roads like woodward ave or I 59. If there are consequences people will care.

Why not go over and offer your assistance if you want it fixed? Maybe there are some dire circumstances that you can assist them in? Whatever happened to the idea of "community"?

If you are asking the readers of this forum to drive over and "clean up the property" don't hold your breath. If there is a house on the property, I am assuming no one lives there. Take a leadership role and take your lawn mower over there and cut the grass. As you are able cut down shrubs and junk trees. Ask the neighbor on the other side or in back of the property to help. It takes a village to accomplish any mutual task. You could try to find out who owns it and send them a bill but I have a feeling it has been abandoned and the city has taken back the property.
