Reader report: Cleanup crew at Highland Park ‘nuisance house’

The photos are from Dina Johnson, showing a house in the 9200 block of 12th Avenue SW being cleared out today by a company called Aftermath (specializing in, according to its website, “trauma cleaning and biohazard removal”).

Dina says the house generated complaints for years, and that the crew told neighbors “this dumpster they’re loading is the SECOND one – the first was filled up with every kind of trash – in one room ‘up to the ceiling’,” including what was described as “drug paraphernalia.”

The home’s owner died earlier this year; city records show complaints and citations about junk storage over the years.

    Biohazard tape? Lovely. Good to see this happening.
    .
    Do you know the source of the funding? Just curious.

      Pretty sure it’s private, so the property can be sold.
