The house is still there and NOBODY here has even ACKNOWLEDGED my complaint.
I see city officials commenting on issues moments after they are posted but for this, they seem uninterested.
I am VERY disappointed in the city of Decatur and DeKalb County for being so complacent.

DO SOMETHING

Hello?

I have confirmed that 3573 Orchard Circle is DEFINITELY the correct address.

Still nothing. Nothing. I guess it is time for me to research attending some type of city meeting. I don't know what else to do. I have never lived in an area where the city didn't care about unsafe, dangerous situations. This is new to me. I come from a civilized background.

Still NOTHING

PATHETIC

This house is still there and there is no sign of anybody doing anything about it.

nothing has been done :-(

This site keeps sending me reminders about this issue (and the fact that nothing has been done, apparently)
Still... Nothing has been done. Nobody has contacted me, nobody has advised me of information regarding who to contact about this. Could somebody please just offer some ADVICE? This old, dilapidated house is AWFUL.

Every time this website sends me a reminder that their website is useless I will bump this post, hoping something gets done about this "house" next door.

Try DeKalb County's online customer complaint portal: http://63.170.23.47/DP1/Metroplex/DekalbCounty/customerservice/selectbyservno.asp

Also, report the abandoned dwelling to registry@dekalbcountyga.gov and call (404) 371-2289 so that the department can go through their appropriate processes (e.g., citing property owner). In the 3 times I've called, no one has ever answered the phone or returned my call, but at least you can document the effort so that if/when someone does respond they may be more apt to actually do something.

Thanks, Jerry.

I have attempted to fill out the form at the first link you provided 3 times to no avail. The system is citing inaccurate information entered onto the form. More typical governmental red tape I suppose.
I will continue to try the form or contacting that office by phone. I will also send an email to the address you provided in the second link.
Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate the fact that somebody finally responded. Living beside this place is turning into a real drag.

Sorry, JEREMY. I read it too fast.

This issue has been IGNORED for 129 days.

Jeremy, above, tried to offer assistance by referring me to some government entities. To no avail.
This really sucks :-(

Progress!!

I was able to complete the forms at the link: http://63.170.23.47/DP1/Metroplex/DekalbCounty/customerservice/selectbyservno.asp that Jeremy provided earlier. I have a reference number 165142. I consider this progress and I will continue to update here.

A (police officer?) called me this week and stated that the demolition of the house is "on the books" but couldn't give me any time line as to when to expect the house to be removed. Lame

SeeClickFix sent me another reminder that the haunted house still exists next door (DUH!)

BLAH BLAH BLAH 227 DAYS BLAH BLAH BLAH

This is RIDICULOUS

The county is actually working on it as I have complained as well. It takes money to tear down the houses like that so unfortunately they have to pioritize. I'm waiting as well.

The new development is that people have been going to the house lately, apparently to loot it. Lousy thing is that the looters are the neighbors, as one of the trucks seen in front of the lot is usually parked on the other side of our circle.
This house is an embarrassment. This neighborhood is an embarrassment. It used to be pretty nice around here when we first moved in, now it is just a filthy ghetto.

Adios ASAP.

This neighborhood and area is on the uptick. Prices are rising all around. Call your County Commissioners and Code Enforcement every month and help the rest of us neighbors who are trying to make a difference. Contact tonzaclark@dekalbcountyga.gov and dgreen@dekalbcountyga.gov

I am SO happy to close this issue!!

A demo crew showed up this afternoon and within 2 hours, the house was gone. Leveled, cleaned up, containerized, and hauled away.

SANTA CAME EARLY!!!
