The job I work in puts me in houses like this all the time. They all say the same thing." I'm getting a dumpster next week so don't mind the mess." The next time I go to their house it's still the same if not worse. The man is a hoarder, he is not going to change and he will not give up collecting items that he feels are of value. I speak from experience also because my father was a hoarder. Until his death I was not able to be rid of his items. So Mr. Calenda, get some good curtains or some fast growing trees because that man is never going to give up his things. Even if the town makes him clean up, that means he will have more room for new things. Take it from me, I have seen it all before. Fighting him is only going to make him dig in deeper. Maybe you and all your neighbors can ease up a little and maybe offer to help him cleanup some or chip in for a roll off dumpster. I feel for you because that was me and I feel for him because he was like my dad. Good luck to both of you.
