Debated
Case CE26-0006 was filed February 24, 2026, triggered by a formal neighbor complaint on behalf of an 86-year-old woman who has lived adjacent to the property for over 50 years; the complainant reported excessive trash and debris throughout the yard, multiple dead chickens producing a strong persistent odor, and photographic evidence of both live and deceased chickens. The initial inspection was conducted from the neighbor's backyard, with access granted by the owner's son Jason Davis; the inspector observed multiple dead chickens, trash/junk/debris throughout the backyard, a lot of trash bags, tree debris, bottles, and household items in the front, and one live hen running free. As of the March 20 reinspection, violations included free-roaming chickens, outside storage of junk/trash/debris, trash containers not having the lid closed and filled past capacity, and not following the pick-up schedule. Some violations (dead animals, outside furniture) were corrected by that date, but outside storage and free-roaming hens remained.
