Shirley Anne Hall has until Dec. 8 to clean her Garden Grove
house of rotten oranges, cobwebs, vehicle parts, musty newspapers and a year’s
worth of dirty dishes.
On Wednesday, superior court judge Randell Wilkinson ordered
Hall, 54, to remove overgrown weeds and other debris from her yard, which is
located in the 12000 block of Barlett St. in Orange County,
If she fails to
comply with the order, the city will bring in work crews and send Hall the bill
for the work. The city has been trying
to persuade Hall to sort through her mess since 1988, said city attorney Stuart
Scudder.
Hall, who has chronic
depression, said that the stress that the city has caused her by harassing her
has prevented her from making any progress.
The Dayle McIntosh Center for the Disabled in Anaheim is looking for
volunteers who will offer to help Hall to clean up.
