The grass hadn’t been cut for months, and a man living on Detroit’s east side pleaded to anyone who’d listen to help get the city to step in and mow it. On Thursday, it finally happened.

About a week ago, Local 4 brought you the story of a man who doesn’t feel safe going out into his own backyard because he doesn’t know what might be living in the overgrown yard next door. It’s a vacant home, and finding the owner hasn’t been easy.

One man says he’s been calling the city and officials about this problem property, and Wednesday night, Local 4 is helping him get answers.
