Description
The San Diego City Attorney's Office, code enforcement, and police paid a visit to a hoarder house in Ocean View Hills after CBS 8 aired a story on the property Monday.
"I was in shock, a neighbor of mine said the police, city officials [are there] they all have badges," said next-door neighbor Eddie Mead.
He said the homeowner refused to come out and talk with them.
Mead said just seeing that kind of action in just two days, gives him hope.
"Because of what you aired, everyone in the county of San Diego plus, saw what was going on here. And for some magical reason, there was a reaction within hours. And I will say, without Channel 8 nothing would've happened," said Mead.
Mead and his neighbors told CBS 8 they have been dealing with this eyesore for more than a decade. They said they have been harassed by the property owner and have been living in fear of her for a very long time. Some have filed restraining orders against her.
