It wasn’t an empty house, either.
To submit a complaint against an overrun house, the house must be completely unoccupied; regrettably, this residence was not. The odour was horrendous, so horrendous that the neighbours couldn’t comprehend how someone could ever live in such a location. Despite this, they maintained a watch on the house and observed persons who appeared to be “alive.” Over time, the odour subsided, and the adjacent residents no longer perceived a threat to their safety.
It’s possible that they had an infection problem that was addressed. When the stink had faded, people were able to return to their regular routines and go about their everyday lives without interruption. It, on the other hand, did not last long.
