Messy Property Causing Concerns

Some residents in West Melbourne are raising alarms over a property on Vera Street, where trash has accumulated into large piles, posing what they see as potential hazards. Neighbors, worried about the impact of hurricanes and tropical storms, have complained to city officials and code enforcement but say they have seen little action. The property, which has been problematic for about a year, is now a major concern due to its potential to cause damage and attract pests. West Melbourne officials now say that further action, including possible fines and trash removal, will be considered at a code enforcement hearing that is set for September 19.
