This happened to my next door neighbor who had hired someone to cut his grass, but pocketed the money and never returned.

Why isn't this same procedure being followed in the historic section and at least keep the outside looking proper?
My understanding is that the Villages only acts upon complaints in these cases. The Community Watch does not report any violations.

The other issue is that when these homes are abandoned or in limbo, who does the Villages bill for these services? The owners are dead. The bank cannot take ownership and the heirs are denying ownership.
