Owner Debra S. Shields is the subject of an open property maintenance case at 6206 Red Spruce Dr after reports that a car repeatedly crashed into the garage door and items like rolled-up carpet, a clothes washer and a recliner were left in the yard. Neighbors also say the house has no heat or electricity, windows and doors are often left open, loud car music blares between midnight and 2 a.m., someone used a wood-burning device on the porch during freezing weather, and the property is listed as a known drug house — a messy, potentially hazardous situation the city is investigating.
Owner Garcia Herson Levi Pantoja is the subject of an open property maintenance code-violation case at 6307 Eureka Ave. A long-term neighbor complaint says the front yard is littered with trash and bare dirt that turns to mud, the backyard reportedly contains numerous (some deceased) chickens, a large burn pit, standing water and an apparently occupied trailer, plus multiple vehicles out front and alleged unpermitted auto-mechanic and semi-tractor work—residents are asking the city for fair, consistent enforcement.
Owner Sears James M is tied to an open property-maintenance case after occupants at 1016 Oleanda Ave reported raw sewage smells when the heat runs and repeated plumbing backups — tub, toilet, and sink — plus a leaking toilet and a washer-drain failure. Plumbers say a broken pipe under the house has filled the crawl space with wastewater, the kitchen water was capped and temporary sump-pump/vacuum efforts were used, and tenants report no kitchen sink use since the 15th with the earliest repair slot on December 29 unless a cancellation opens one up.
