A house on Thurmond Ave. in Mount Vernon Villas has quickly become the talk of the neighborhood for all the wrong reasons. After the homeowner passed away, the property—tied up in a reverse mortgage—has fallen into disrepair, with dead grass, overgrowth, and mold taking over. Neighbors are frustrated, especially seeing family members visit but not pitch in to clean up. The CDD 5 board is stepping in, giving the family a week to fix things before fines and liens start piling up. How should communities handle situations like this when a home falls through the cracks? #RealEstate #MountVernonVillas #NeighborhoodWatch
