No, if the owner cannot be determined or contacted......clean it up.

I'm with Bogie -- this isn't the normal situation where a homeowner is ignoring what is going on. This is where one spouse lost the other and then ended up in a nursing home of some type for some reason. More than likely, the conservator or guardian is far away and truly has no clue what to do or how to go about doing it. Clean up the yard. Find a way to contact the conservator, get things in place. Be a good, kind, caring neighbor.

Just go mow it
 

While you sit here & pound keys complaining about the yard growing, dead animals. & cracking jokes.... I sent the poster notice that I'd mow it for free. I had NO REPLY. PM me the address or quit complaining about it. I don't care if it's in foreclosure. It's a neighborhood & village I reside in. I'm willing to help. Where the hell is it?

You are one great guy! That is the spirit. Where you from?

(P.S. I know where he's from)

F16, you rock!! (But I knew that before.)

I volunteer to help too. I can weed and bag weeds.

Abandoned CYV
 

I can volunteer too. I have some hedge trimmers that I can bring. I also have some yard waste bags to but the clippings in.

Well the overwhelming position was to be a good neighbor and get done what needs to get done for thw sake of these residents, their neighbors and the community at large. Bravo to you all.

I will also help but not with the critters because while I am afriad i am only afraid of four kind of critters big small alive and dead:thumbup:

I'm not a mind reader
 

I drove thru Hadley & looked at all 3 sets of villas. I saw NO front yards that were in dyer need. Matter of fact I only saw 1 front yard with sod & believe it was a corner lot.

So......If ya want it cleaned up speak up or........There's plenty of folks that are willing to help. All you have to do is ask.

You might be unwittingly setting up a side business for yourself :$: :D

"Beware for what you wish." :laugh:

it sounds like...
 

he was talking about a patio villa even though he said cyv, he would then have a view of the patio in front and as previously stated, virtually all cyv's have gravel or stone or other treatments other than grass.
:ho:

Wouldn't this be an opportunity for a REAL "Flash Mob?" People could show up, do something worth doing, and then go home. It would certainly make more sense than a "freeze" that's been planned weeks in advance.

Looneycat, I got the impression that the OP lived in the neighborhood, and if so, I’m sure they identified the type of home correctly. It’s up to the individual homeowner if they want to replace the grass with stone or some other type of material. In my CYV neighborhood approximately 80% of the lots still have grass in both the front and back yards.

<<virtually all cyv's have gravel or stone or other treatments other than grass>>

I'm not sure where you are getting this information from, but my experience is totally different. Most of the CYV's have grass (with pine straw mulch) and if that does not suit you, you can change it to something else. I had a lovely 3 BR CYV, built in late 201 in Jacarand Villas, in Pennecamp and I had plenty of nice green grass. If you think about it, it is cheaper for the developer to put in grass & pine straw mulch, than to use stone etc. Those changes are up to the new owners.
