Now the city confirms a neglected home is finally being cleaned and secured after we contacted City Hall. Earlier this week, we received an email from a viewer about a neglected residential property at 1731 Ansbury Drive in Houston. The property, which sits just off the northwest side of the Loop, has been overwhelmed with vegetation for quite some time.

“We don’t know what’s in there. We could have rodents. We have rats. I mean, I won’t go in there,” said Paulina Gaiton.

“People are going to turn this into a dumping ground too. I mean, you already have trash right there,” said Rolando Cano. The property has remained in an overgrown state for quite some time, but residents said a garage door was only recently forced open. Investigator Mario Diaz reached out to the City of Houston, which confirmed the property has been under investigation.

City records show more than 16 calls have been made to the city over the last four years regarding the property and its condition. Now, the city is taking action. A few hours after our initial inquiry, the City of Houston told 2 Helps You crews will clean up the property next Wednesday.

“I appreciate y’all coming out here and trying to see if y’all can fix this mess,” said Gaiton.
