Residents in Hudson are calling for the demolition of a hazardous property on Clamshell Lane that has become a neighborhood biohazard. Pastor Jim Pickens and neighbor Laura Buckner report constant disturbances, roaming rodents, squatters, and aggressive dogs near their homes. The lack of utilities and ongoing chaos forced a real estate agent to remove an adjacent home from the market. Pasco Sheriff’s Office has responded to six calls since June, while Animal Services handled four loose-dog complaints with warnings only. Homeowner Kevin Kappelman faces fines and a cleanup order triggered by his release from jail for felony robbery charges. The situation escalated significantly over the summer after initial code violations were documented in April. Legal remedies are pending until Kappelman resolves his criminal case and returns to manage the property cleanup requirements.
