My question involves real estate located in the State of: Florida
We live in a gated community and recently one of our neighbors abandoned their home. We understand that the owners have declared bankruptcy and that the bank/mortgage holder is now in the process of obtaining title to the home. As is usual in these cases, the bank is not taking any steps to maintain the house.
The homeowner's association has taken over exterior landscaping maintenance, but the pool has not been drained and is not being filtered or maintained. Thus, the water has turned almost black and algae is forming. This will become a horrible breeding ground for mosquitos which could raise health issues, and it is likely that the entire pool will become unsalvageable. We do not know if there is power in the home.
The homeowner's association has indicated that they will not "enter" even to the screened lanai because they feel it would be "trespassing." The immediate neighborhood is concerned and would like to understand if we might be able to intervene in the hopes of (at a minimum) possibly getting the pool maintained.
Is there anything we can do independently of the homeowner's association and/or without having to go through the bank in order to either drain the pool or ensure that it is maintained properly without fear of being accused of trespassing?
