This house is the oozing sore of an otherwise really nice neighborhood. Please force the owner to clean up the house and yard. People have been living in the house since less than 24 hours after the house was cleared out by the SBI for the meth lab search. The house and shed where not cleaned following the NC guidelines for cleaning a former meth lab. The driveway constantly has trash and discarded furniture in it. I am concerned that the filth in the house will breed pests and rodents.

Please enforce the cleanup of this filthy property.

Thank you. This is being referred to Housing and Environmental Inspections. When they have responded, an update will be posted.

Housing & Environmental Inspections came out and put a notice on the door, saying the owner had to clean up within a certain time frame. That notice, as well as the one that notified people that meth had been found on the premises and they should stay out, has been removed. No clean up has occurred.

Hopefully the city has notified the owner/landlord by certified mail and will be checking on the clean up soon. How much time do they have for the clean up?

The owner of this property is:
SOUTHERN PINE PROPERTIES LLC
STE 104-30
10251 LITTLE BRIER CREEK LN
RALEIGH NC 27617-4268

A month ago Raleigh posted a notice on the property that the owner would be fined if they didn't remove the sofa and other debris from the yard. Several weeks later, with the help and encouragement of another homeowner to remove the sofa, the property owner relocated the sofa to the end of the driveway furthest from the street and pulled his trash and recycling bins in front of it. This "hidden" trash pile has grown to include an assortment of construction debris such as carpet, carpet padding, a mattress, and other assorted items.

The shed at the rear of the property near the trash cans has a rotten section of roof , water damage and exposed rotting boards. There is also what appears to be an abandoned rusted metal bed frame that based on the amount of rust appears to have been here for years.

There is a loveseat or large chair on the side porch that has been there for over 8 months.

Raleigh, please help clean up our neighborhood and remove the trash pile that you said you would remove in the notice. Fine the owner and if at all possible, force him to sell the home. He is only repairing the home with the hopes that he can make it into a rooming house again.

After his last tenants included a suspected meth manufacturer, we do not need this element in our neighborhood.

We will follow up with Housing and Environmental Inspections.
