"You're blaming the town? Have you ever lived next door to anyone who doesn't keep their house up? I'm sorry for her situation, but her inaction is not helping anyone, least of all herself. If she doesn't have the money, she'd best sell the house in its condition and be done with it. What do you want the Town to do?"

If, she lived in Indiana, the neighbors would most likely pitch in and help clean up the place and perform the repairs for free.

Samantha Moor's tough week got a little better on Thursday.

A municipal judge offered her an option for possibly reducing or suspending the $4,921 in fines she has incurred for property maintenance violations.

Judge A.J. Gianni told Moor to accept the aid of volunteers who have offered to help clean up her yard after reading about her plight in The Record.

If the North Hillside Avenue property is in compliance with township codes when she returns to court in 30 days, Gianni said, he will "reconsider" the fines.
