The woman who lived in the Lookout Place home had spent 38 years in the property before an investment company bought her foreclosed house in February, WSB-TV reports. The company tried to work with the homeowner but was forced to evict her last Monday; since then, numerous piles of clothes, furniture, and trash have accumulated in the front and back yards.

Neighbors tell WSB-TV that the trash is a health risk and are worried that the unsightly buildup could hurt their property values.
