After the winter we just had, I don’t think that pool is worth the effort to save it.
Pouring motor oil in it ... yuck... then pouring that down the toilets??? What a nasty nasty disgusting way to live.
Is this what you’d call taking care of the property?
Would you want that going on next door to you?
Besides HOA has rules about window a/c units.
Pools are cheap to fix ... it’s mostly labor
Motor oil is the old standby ,, it was used for decades to kill mosquitoes breeding in pools of water .. it’s not “PC” today but just a little bit will work ,, unless you have access to some DDT? I’d rather have a little oil sheen on the water than mosquitoes ,, of course the best method is to have the pool cleaned up and functioning normally. If you don’t like the motor oil suggestion I’d suggest that YOU buy some “mosquito donuts” to float in the pool ,, chemical impregnated floating rings made for just this situation .. try a “do it yourself” pest control store...

YES I would call that an improvement over a million mosquitoes or so.. If I had an abandoned house with a pool next to mine I’d bring a cup of motor oil over to save myself from the mosquitoes.
If you’d rather have it sit abandoned and become the neighborhood party house for the kids to get drunk in (and fall into that pea green pool and drown) then I guess you can work to get him booted out somehow...
This guy has every incentive to be a good neighbor and keep the property up.. Why not give him a chance?
