Most recently, perpetrators allegedly accessed the premises and broke off the exterior air-conditioning unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe vacant eyesore is not good for business and poses a health, safety and security risk,\u201d the neighbour added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another neighbour has constantly had to call on the assistance of the local neighbourhood watch, especially at night when illegal occupants move in, start fires inside the building, make unbearable noise, smoke drugs and further break the structure down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn one instance, the trespassers went under the wall to access a neighbouring property where they broke into a motor vehicle,\u201d the neighbour said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The neighbour further shared that a local health inspector was horrified at the situation after stopping at the property during a three-month visit to the preschool and day-care centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNobody does anything about the matter,\u201d said the neighbour, fearing for collective safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both neighbours believe that for the problem to be resolved, the house should either be demolished or the property sold to be fixed up. \u201cWhat else can one do to enforce this?\u201d one asked. \u201cIf council is not willing to take action what can the ordinary person do?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Law Enforcement spokesperson Wayne Dyason the City of Cape Town\u2019s Problem Building Unit has not listed the house as a problem building. He said problem buildings are dealt with as per the Pro\u00adblem-building Bylaw, which states that the owner must secure the property to pre\u00advent illegal occupation by securing all entrances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe owner needs to lay charges with police for trespassing,\u201d Dyason pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to enquiries to help trace the owners Dyason said: \u201cThe City cannot make available the detail of the owner as per the Popi Act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He further advised residents to report any criminal activity or suspicious behaviour to authorities; or call the City\u2019s Public Emergency Communication Centre on 021 480 7700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>DistrictMail &amp; Helderberg Gazette<\/em> also reached out to local ward councillor Chan\u00adtal Cerfontein, who simply emphasised that the property is privately owned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A derelict, abandoned house, which has not only become an apparent eyesore, but a
