philadelphia horticultural society's green nest block four years running.t was 30 years ago. the block has plenty of well maintain homes. some could frankly sit op a golf course but right there mid block well there's the eye sore, 6135 washington. vacant for many years and falling apart. covered with weeds and trash. the city says there's not much they can do unless of course the place was about to literally fall down and so it sits. ruining the rest of this otherwise nice neighborhood. >> a lot of times the door is wide open. front door is open. you never know when somebody can go in there and start a fire or anything can happen. there are young children in this neighborhood. >> this is horrible. would you want to live on this block? no. if i wasn't living on this block now, i would never moved here. >> reporter: the city couldn't or wouldn't do anything but it took me just 15 minutes to track down the husband and wife owners of that vacant home. i spoke to the wife by phone. she admitted there was no excuse for the mess out there and promised an immediate
