Residents of a Macomb County City are expressing growing frustration and concern over a worsening hoarding situation in their neighborhood, with some claiming it has become a public health and safety hazard.
Neighbors have reported seeing rats in the area, and the issue appears to be escalating without resolution.
The home is located in the area of 10 Mile and Van Dyke in Center Line, Michigan.
One concerned resident says the situation has been ongoing for over three years. The resident says despite numerous reports to the city, police, and other authorities, no effective action has been taken.
The City of Center Line responded to the situation with a statement saying, “We want to assure everyone that the appropriate parties are fully aware and are taking all necessary legal steps in this sensitive and urgent matter. A court date has been set for September 4, 2024, at 9 AM at City Hall located at 7070 E. 10 Mile Rd in Center Line.”
