Robbins drove an hour to the home along Rockborough Trail in unincorporated Norcross and got to work on his own after he saw Johnson’s report last week.
“I started with a weed eater and started pulling some of this big debris out,” Robbins said.
His goal is to help neighbors get rid of an eyesore and also help a stranger possibly avoid arrest.
“No one should have to go to jail over something like this,” Robbins said.
He said the woman had come to the door but had never opened it.
Code enforcement said she’s ignored numerous citations and court appearances for at least five years.
“As long as I can get this cleaned up for her and get some of that burden off of her, and try to help her morally,” Robbins said.
Even if she never says thanks, there are plenty in the community who will.
“I’ve had several people stop by and thank me,” Robbins said.
Johnson contacted code enforcement after the cleanup.
A spokesperson said because the homeowner repeatedly failed to appear in court, the bench warrant is still active.
