Neighbours of an abandoned home which is often broken into with boarded-up windows and an overgrown garden have revealed their three-year misery.
The previous occupant moved out several years ago, with people living nearby clueless as to who is now in charge of it.
Since before it was abandoned - when pictures showed it was in great condition with a stunning flower garden - it is now unrecognisable
At the front of the home the garden has been left to overgrow while the bottom window has been stripped bare and the top window has been boarded up.
The front door has also been boarded up from past police visits, but with a huge gap left at the bottom.
Neighbour Ashley says youngsters have broken in several times in the last few weeks.
She told HullLive: “It has been like this for three years now. My landlord has been getting on to the council to do something about it.
"On Saturday, kids broke in and I had to call the police - that's happened maybe three times.
“I heard them banging around in the house because it echoes, it's not great when you have a young child.
"It's the worst in the summer because the house is absolutely full of mould. The disgusting smell comes through the walls when it's hot, and it absolutely stinks.
"The council came to completely clear the house last year, but more needs to be done. It's a shame because something nice could be done with it.”
Fed-up members of the community have branded the house as "dangerous" and are desperate for something to be done about it.
Another neighbour also shared his frustration with the property.
John said: "To one side is an elderly woman and the other is a young single mother, both of whom live in fear.
"The most recent break-in was yesterday [March 1] and the kids broke in twice, but dispersed by the time police arrived. Not to mention that, with no inhabitants, this mid-terrace property literally sucks heat from both sides, who can barely afford their own heating without having to pay for an abandoned house.
"In my opinion, either the council are responsible for the property, in which case they need to enforce their own rules on themselves. Or they need to force the house owner/power of attorney to act."
Although residents and landlords have spoken to East Riding of Yorkshire Council officers, East Riding ward councillor Kerri Harold said: "It's the first I've heard of it but I can imagine it is terrifying for the neighbours.
“Now it's on my radar I will speak to the private sector housing manager about what we can do.
"The council can insist that the property owner gets the house into good order, or we can do it for them. We can even buy the property if necessary.
"I will happily follow it up straight away and speak to the residents who are concerned to keep them in the loop with the progress."
