    You could contact the owners of the park and ask them to erect a fence. You could contact the building and zoning dept and ask them about the fence idea. Basically, I think you're going to be barking up a tree with nobody listening. The most the building and zoning dept could do would be to fine the property owner and make him clean up the mess until the property is sold. If it that much of a health hazard they would happily fine the property owner to get it cleaned up. In the meantime, you can erect a fence on your property so you don't have to look at the mess if it bothers you that much.

    Put in a formal complaint with the city and that will press them to look into the issue, make sure you keep a copy for your personel records, if that doesn't work send a letter to your city council and mayor with a copy of the letter you sent to the city.hopefully one of the enitys in your city will send a letter to the people who own the property and tell them that the situation needs to be corrected in a timely fashion. Good Luck and Have A Great Day!

    The only way it would be a health hazard is if there are vermin making their home there. An eyesore it may be, but that might not be against the law.

    Please do report it to your local authorities and let them inspect, but I doubt if you will get satisfaction until its sold. I strongly doubt they will put up a fence. But if it bothers you that much, why don't YOU put up a fence?

    You can report it to the city, go to city cousel meetings and see if it can be addressed, The city after a lot of letters can ( if they will) clear it, if it is against code, can come in and clear it up and apply it as a lien on the property. But it can take a long time to get to that point.
