Welcome to True Carpido. How may I help you?

Yeah, I'm looking for the worst neighbor possible.

Pull up to the next window and I'll see you next slide.

Welcome to True Crime to Go. I'm John. Here is always with Jamie.

Jamie, we just got done recording a food bracket like a sugary food bracket and I feel like crap. How about you?

I feel awful. You know what makes me feel better, John? Talking about crime.

Well, I picked this case. Jamie, if you notice the title, it's called Neighbor from Hill.

And I thought this was really interesting since we are now neighbors.

So let's not be like this. Okay, good. I'm making sure you're not talking about me.

No, no, not yet. But as the years go by, we hope that this never happens.

So we have a really good story for you all. It starts March 25th, 1997.

A multi-year feud between neighbors was going to come to a head as they each made an appearance in court.

44-year-old Ann Hoover was suing her neighbor, Roy Kirk, for years of neglecting his property.

The two lived in a neighboring town home for five years in Pittsburgh.

Now, these homes were actually connected and does it make it like a row house? Is that what it's called?

Yeah, it's almost like an apartment building that's smaller with two units.

Right. So they're multi-level. They owned touching apartments basically.

So the two lived there in Pittsburgh. Now, during that time, their relationship took a really bad turn due to Kirk's neglect of his home.

Ann Hoover complained that his refusal to care for his home wasn't just an eye sore in what would otherwise be a beautiful community.

But it also caused damage to her own home because of the shared roof that was leaking.

And they also had a rodent problem because he refused to care for his lawn.
