i have had a few like that. really gets under my skin when there are kids living in those kind of places. had one last year that called about a squirrel. get over there and the place has more than a squirrel problem. roaches everywhere. one of those places where you want to burn your clothes as soon as you get home. glad i did not get that job.

Never an easy straight forward answer.
We have cleaned out hoarder's homes and done trapping for people who couldn't afford it for free. Sometimes those people are just scared, they know they can't take care of themselves but they don't want to go into a home. A lot of people lack a support structure.
Also, was a foster parent for years and see and understand where some of those kids come from.
Not picking on you, but I think that reporting them would be the basest of civic duties. I would encourage you to really try and help them. Get some buddies and clean the place up on a weekend. Get them in touch with services or a local church. If you really wanted to help the kid that would be best. Not getting them yanked from their family and sent to live with strangers.
Sometimes you are dealing with mental illness or people that won't let you help them. I run into that too. Then you might have no choice but to report.

I have a recommendation field on one of my forms, I leave my comments in that after I verbalize them to the tenant/homeowner on their situation and a course of action on how to reduce/eliminate their problem. Cleanliness is a matter of opinion, hard to make that call not seeing how bad things really were. Had a rodent call once where they were surprised on how many mice were in their home. You could literally move a trash bag and have 3 to 4 mice run out from behind or under it. Did the job and moved on to the next. Safety issues are a whole different ball game, specially if you do the job. I'd document it, take pictures of the hazards and let them know what you're doing, and if the safety hazard is that serious refuse the job until the necessary repairs are made. If you're losing sleep over it, reevaluate the situation on the follow up, then make a decision. Reality is, you could deem a situation hazardous and BOH could walk in and find nothing wrong.
