A woman’s “rotting” San Diego has been the centre of a neighbourhood dispute for over 10 years. The dingy lair is owned by Lisa Golden, who appeared in civil last week as neighbours seek to have a court-appointed clean-up at the home. According to , despite the plush street it’s located on, Golden’s residency is littered with toilet paper and “smeared with brown filth”. Writing in a court document, City Inspector Justin Welker said he was overwhelmed by a disgusting stench the moment he stepped through Golden’s door. “Words cannot adequately describe the condition of the master toilet,” he wrote. “It was smeared with brown filth, and the stall floor covered in trash, including approximately a dozen used toilet paper rolls and a pile of what appeared to be crumpled up, used toilet paper." Welker also indicated there were signs of rats and wasn’t sure whether there was running water in the kitchen because of the amount of unwashed, mouldy crockery filling up the sinks. He added: "In the bathroom and master bedroom, the smell of rotting food and mould was again present. The in-ground pool was partially filled with green water, presumably algae, which is a potential breeding ground for vectors, such as mosquitoes. "Several large, filled plastic bags were perched on some kind of platform or furniture item. Walkways were covered with lumber, logs, dried vegetation, plastic containers, and other random items.” Welker also said when the inspectors left the property, they saw “three dead rats on the ground directly behind Golden’s house." Angry neighbours have reportedly made it clear that Golden’s mucky palace encroaches onto their property and poses a
fire threat. In his report, Welker found the yard was a hazard, as "dead palm fronds were piled up and spread around the walkways and ground and hanging from tall palm trees overhanging onto neighbouring properties." One of Golden’s neighbours who wishes to see her clean up her act said: “The delays and continuances are very disappointing. This is the way she stretches it out, months after months. Usually it's an appeal after appeal." Golden has routinely claimed she suffers from mental health issues which is why she has allowed her house to reach such a level of dirtiness.
