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 #NeighborhoodWatch00Share
