Mountains of garbage have again piled up outside an infamous Los Angeles residence dubbed the ‘Trash House,’ forcing city officials to clean it up for a second time in a little less than a year and a half.

After the first cleaning, which required some workers to don hazmat suits, neighbors again had to bring attention to the problem by complaining to the city about the eyesore home, located in the Fairfax neighborhood near ritzy Beverly Hills.

Images of the house show trash bags and debris surrounding the front and side of the residence, partially covering a car in the driveway.

Even more garbage could be seen in the backyard of the home, which is located on the 600 block of Martel Avenue. Houses on that block are are valued in the millions of dollars.

‘The homes here are worth a lot of money [for the homeowner] to convert it into a dumping ground,’ neighbor Quincy Anderson told NBC News when the residence was cleaned the first time.

The situation even forced Mayor Karen Bass to visit the home last year.

‘It is really disappointing that the owners of this private property have again allowed the conditions of the site to disintegrate,’ her team said in a statement.

‘The City expended significant public resources last year to address this health and safety hazard including removing tons of non-hazardous waste and there is an open and ongoing criminal case against the property owner.’

Local Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky said the trash is ‘once again impacting neighbors and draining city resources.’

Her office said staff had been working with the homeowner to oversee his progress since the first time the property had to be cleaned.

‘This case shows how slow and fragmented the system is. It is designed to request compliance, not demand accountability,’ Yaroslavsky’s office said in a statement.

The Trash House first gained notoriety in April of last year, when local residents complained about the smelly garbage piled up in front of the home.

Neighbors at the time speculated that the homeowner, 71-year-old Raymond Gaon, could be a hoarder and raised concerns that the trash presented a fire hazard.

They were also worried about a potential rodent or insect infestation, as well as the lingering stench.

‘Some days it is smellier than others’ one local resident, Rob, told NBC last year.

‘This much garbage in one place can’t be good for rats.’

Now, with the trash piled back up, those concerns have reemerged.

When the city first cleaned the property, some sanitation workers had to wear hazmat suits while removing 14 tons of debris from around the home.

They found many items under the piled-up garbage, including an old Toyota Celica.

At the time, neighbors were already concerned about whether the cleanup would provide a permanent solution.

‘It’s nice, but what’s going to happen once they leave?’ resident Charlie Topial asked last year. ‘Is he going to start all over again?’

The homeowner’s sister said at the time that Gaon is autistic and makes money by recycling garbage.

Tonya Jaynes, who lives near the home and has been helping Gaon, also said he recycles as a stream of income and that the city is targeting the elderly man rather than helping him.

‘He’s doing what he wants and people are getting mad,’ Jaynes said regarding the recent action by the city.

‘If they don’t like it, why not help?’

Gaon has been described as a ‘nice man,’ but neighbors are fed up.

An inspection by the city in 2014 determined that the garbage on his property violated municipal codes, according to public records.
