district heights. a house here where the weeds are growing chest high on a 6- foot tall t.v. reporter. typical according to city officials. this house going to rot while the banks and owners battle it out in court over whatever the financial outcome is going to be. and that is why here in district heights they have called the public works guys off the streets to clean up more houses like this. eight-men district heights public works crew. high grass. thick brush. >> if you buy it you should take care of it. that's the plane and simple truth. >> reporter: code enforcement officer michele watkins is busier than she has ever been. homes in foreclosure dragging down the value of the rest of the neighborhood. >> there are a lot of them that right now are starting to come out of the woodwork. >> reporter: the code inspector saying since may 20th, 33 foreclosed homes have been cited and in most cases public

even close to a year. so in the meantime they decided to take action themselves so that the rest of district heights doesn't go down the drain like these houses. reporting live in district heights, scott broom, 9news now and wusa9.com. >> i bet the neighbors really appreciate it. scott, thanks for that. a new report finds the dc area is number 2 in the nation when it comes to wasting time in traffic you probably knew that already though. the transportation institute study finds we spend 62 hours in rush hour congestion every year. we are second only to los angeles. atlanta dropped down to third followed by houston. but that study finds that nationwide drivers are spending less time stuck in traffic and the reason is higher gas prices and the recession are keeping people off the roads. but you probably wouldn't guess that from the rush hours around here. read the entire study at wusa9.com. just click on news links. some alexandria residents got to fill up for free today.
