The mess in Springfield Gardens

From CBS 2:

Residents in Springfield Gardens, Queens say that their neighbor’s yard has become a prime site for illegal garbage dumping and a home for rats and raccoons.

Neighbor Mary Moore told CBS 2′s Hazel Sanchez on Wednesday night that she has been complaining to the city about the dilapidated house since it became vacant 20 years ago.

The yard is filled with overgrown weeds and garbage, including a pile of tires, an old mattress and a rusted car bumper.
