    Solved: CFA affiliate gets city government involved when vacant property's yard grows out of control
    July 2, 2019

     

    Property owners are typically required by local statutes to maintain their lawns, but when a property goes through foreclosure, the maintenance may not get done. Our affiliates at WTOL Call 11 For Action in Toledo report on a property that is growing wild, to the frustration of its neighbors. The property is currently vacant, and the neighbors noticed the yard growing out of control about two years ago. With nobody taking responsibility and mail piling up at the property, neighbors started taking it upon themselves to cut back the overgrowth to preserve the appearance of their neighborhood and stop pests from taking residence. Finally, they reached out to WTOL's Call 11 For Action for help. The station contacted the city's code enforcement division, who confirmed they'd have crews begin maintaining the property within a week. The owner of the property will be billed for the service, wherever they may be.

    • Consider these tips when making a choice:

    • For towing services, how many miles are included and what is the rate charged for miles above that limit?

    • Is there an annual fee for the program? Is there a flat fee per service?

    • Are there added benefits, such discounts for rental cars and hotels or coverage for traffic citations?

    • How satisfied are customers with this plan? Check reviews and testimonials.

    • Even if you don't purchase a roadside assistance plan, you may still have some type of roadside assistance coverage through a major credit card (such as for rental cars) or through your auto insurance plan. If you live or are traveling in a state that participates in 511 (click here to see), you can also contact that number for travel information.
