(live here) – Problems between neighbors are a common occurrence, but the following story crosses all boundaries. It is an exceptional and particularly serious case, in which residents of a building on HaBula Street in the Neve Sha'anan neighborhood in Haifa have long suffered from compulsive hoarding, animal neglect, and covert violence – all while the authorities are completely helpless.
Hoarding and neglect ► Watch
Sasson Mousai, a resident of the building, describes a life of prolonged suffering: "It's no longer a neighborly conflict — it's daily hell. Neglect, dirt, constant fear of the dog, and the authorities do nothing."
He says that over a year ago, one of the neighbors in the building began collecting trash, cartons and whatever else she could find — carts, sacks, boxes — and is filling the stairs, the entrance to the building and even the common areas with them. "The building has become a dump," he says painfully. "You can't walk through, you can't invite guests. The shame, the smell, the filth — everything is unbearable."
But that's not the end of the story. According to Musaei, the neighbor has a dog that is kept in difficult conditions: tied up for long hours, neglected, barks incessantly and sometimes even tries to attack. "The dog is not to blame," he emphasizes. "It is neglected and scared, and therefore reacts violently. She uses it to scare us — it has become a tool of threat."
Musaei says he repeatedly contacted the municipal hotline, filed complaints with the police, and even contacted welfare officials – but to no avail. "There is no response, no treatment. Nothing is moving. We feel abandoned," he says in frustration.
The situation, he says, is getting worse. "Our lives are not lives. It starts with neglect and becomes a safety and health threat. Who will be responsible when a disaster happens?"
The story raises difficult questions: Where are the authorities? Why is there no comprehensive treatment, when it is clear that this is a complex case of compulsive hoarding and animal abuse? And how is it possible that neighbors remain helpless in the face of such a difficult reality?
A case that ended in tragedy
The current case is reminiscent of another that occurred a few years ago on Yalga Street in the city - when a compulsive hoarder, neglected by the authorities, found himself dead when he tried to enter his house through a window, after he was no longer able to get through the door due to the accumulation of belongings.
An illness that requires treatment—not ignoring it
It is important to note: Compulsive hoarding is a recognized mental disorder, and it requires a complex therapeutic response — both on a personal and community level. Without professional guidance, the situation may worsen and harm not only the person suffering from the disorder, but also those around them.
Now the building's residents are requesting systemic assistance that will include intervention by welfare authorities, law enforcement by the police and municipal supervision, as well as appropriate care for the dog, which itself suffers from neglect.
"It is impossible that in 2025 people will continue to live in such conditions, without anyone intervening," concludes Mousai. "Someone must take responsibility — before another disaster happens here."

These are not religious, these are not settlers, these are not Eritreans, so suffer and leave so that Eritreans have a place to live.
I would like to tell you first and foremost that you need to contact the Ministry of Agriculture. They have a department there that deals with abandoned animals. They will immediately send Ayla the veterinarian from the Ministry of Agriculture after an inspection. If a team of police officers who are also from the veterinary department, they will confiscate the animal on the spot and transfer it to the facilities of the Ministry of Agriculture. The municipality and the police do not deal with these issues, only they hope I helped a little ✨️
Poor dog
He needs to be saved first.
Then you'll call the municipality all the time and advertise everywhere.
Shame on the municipality
It all depends on the judges, who are currently interested in a show trial for Netanyahu, the release of terrorists "from a good family", the disparagement of Israeli soldiers, for example, the story of the fighters who protected the Nazis, and so on and so forth. They are not at all interested in the fact that there are tenants who disturb the neighbors' rest and peace.
I'm not from Haifa, but every now and then I get to visit and every time I'm amazed anew. It's a city with so much potential. There's a sea, there's a bay, there's a green mountain, and yet many parts of the city look neglected and unpleasant. This could be a charming and beautiful city. With a little (a lot) of investment, it could be a tourist city.
You still don't understand. The municipality is not interfering.
To remove the inhabitants from the land and build the towers of Sodom and Babel for the rich only
They do it systematically.
Once upon a time, with infiltrating murderous niggers filling South Texas
Or they intentionally fill Jewish buildings with Arabs
Once upon a time with wild boars
Once upon a time with foxes
Once upon a time with fires
Every time it's a new trick.
Wow, how many of these, we also have in the building that also started collecting all kinds of things in the yard two years ago, partly on the stairs, where do we live? The municipality is supposed to come and inspect the yard? Who is responsible for the sanitation of the city, the yard?
Please contact the municipal veterinarian, let the animals live, they can also help. This poor unfortunate dog
Please save the dog, there are organizations that can help take him away. All the neighbors will have to organize themselves to clear out the garbage on the stairs. There's no point waiting for the authorities.
Exactly, we must put an end to these things and simply call the police every time she starts filling the stairwell again. Just organize all the neighbors to do one thing and the story will be over. In her house, she can do whatever she wants! And the dog. The Ministry of Agriculture has an excellent department. They will come and immediately confiscate the animal from her for lack of care and abuse. You have to do everything yourself. Just take the initiative and do it. There is no reason why you can't succeed.
Try contacting Zvika Barbi.
Taking care of Neve Sha'anan….
Contact the mayor's office and arrange for a representative from the municipality to come visit the place and take a closer look.
At the same time, perhaps contact the main sanitation center in Jerusalem… as much as possible….
Regarding the dog, you should contact the municipal veterinarian,
Regarding hoarding, I think we should contact the police.
The unfortunate dog!!!! Please save him and get him out of there!! First of all!!
We must contact animal welfare or the city veterinarian to remove the unfortunate dog from this abuse.
Cowardly neighbors take everything and throw it away, there's nothing else to do but beat them up and that's it.
That's right, these are cowardly, scumbags.
Someone help the dog please.
She picks up trash without any barriers, even on the steps of the shelter.
It became unbearable. She even blocked access to the solar heater.
Every time a resident contacts the municipal center, an inspector from the veterinary license arrives. His job is to check the animal's living conditions, whether there is a chip, vaccinations, etc. If the animal receives adequate living conditions and the owner meets all other requirements, the inspector has the authority to take the animal. The municipal veterinarian is the authorized body to issue an order that allows the inspector to remove the animal if necessary, even by force from the owner with the assistance of the police. There are many cases where the person raising the animal does not live a normative life. His apartment exudes an unpleasant odor. He is neglected in appearance and his house also looks neglected. It is not enough legally to remove the animal from the owner's hands. There is a legal problem here. As much as these people who appear neglected and incapable of raising animals have contact with lawyers who sometimes represent them for free, and due to a conflict that exists between several organizations that work for animals, some of which side with the animal owners and some of which are on the side of the animal owners who are pushing to remove the animal from the owner's lap, cases such as the above case And other similar cases fall through the cracks. The ones who actually suffer are the neighbors and possibly even the animals themselves. They may not be subjected to abuse such as beatings and starvation, but the people who raise them do not provide the animals with the standard of living required to live normally and properly, for example, fresh air, cleaning the apartment and yard from feces and urine, showers, urgent medical treatments, etc.
Sasson, who is she? What are you afraid of? Get organized, all the neighbors, and put an end to this. If she starts going crazy, there are police for that. Call every step of the way and ask the police. But just get organized and in a few days you will throw everything in the trash. Get a lawyer. Write a threatening letter. As soon as she sees that you are strong and not giving up, she will go like a snail into a tunnel in her house. She will do whatever she wants outside. It is public property. It is simply one hand that you do everything. Don't wait for anyone to do it for you. Notify the council that they will come to take all the junk or that they have certain days. It is all a matter of deciding to live with a quality of life and set a clear boundary for her. Believe me, you will succeed.
You need to urgently contact the Haifa Municipality's Agriculture Center. They are responsible for handling animal neglect. Their inspector will arrive to handle the issue.
Regarding hoarding, contact the welfare office and report it.
Wow, how many of these, we also have in the building that also started collecting all kinds of things in the yard two years ago, partly on the stairs, where do we live? The municipality is supposed to come and inspect the yard? Who is responsible for the sanitation of the city, the yard?
All the things you wrote and not even a single word about the person buried inside the hoard.
There are amazing people in Penoch.
As usual, the people of Haifa only complain about anyone who doesn't see reality through their distorted glasses.
Address this in the article.
This is also true, but the neighbors probably don't have the tools to deal with it. In general, in Haifa there are many buildings with problematic tenants, the mentally ill, hoarders, Arabs, drug addicts. The municipality doesn't care and doesn't do anything. Haifa is a city for the rich who live in Carmel at the expense of the taxpayers who live below.
You elected a failed mayor who you dismissed in the past.
Neglecting the roads, no treatment in the name of the subject.
Those with the most serious problems in their heads are not the hoarders, they are the ones who store up hatred against the government every Saturday night, every evening at intersections. They have been in a psychosis for years and have reached a difficult situation. They are unable to do without cursing, insulting and waving signs full of curses in the streets, writing their curses and hatred on garbage cans, of course hanging incitement signs everywhere.. Go for a walk in Moria and you will see their psychosis.
You are not related.
What an unfortunate dog, he must be saved!!! Everything else is really a very serious nuisance for the neighbors, but the dog is the most urgent, he is a tormented soul!! Please involve Let the Animals Live, who know how to handle such cases and will also work with the police!
Response from an Iranian bot… In everything and in every matter, to push and increase the rift in society, whether related or not.
I see your psychosis, you ignorant Chahla.
People like you with a non-working head
A woman steeped in hatred towards anyone who thinks differently from you.
Madam, you need help. You're crazy. What do the protesters have to do with a crazy article?
First of all, the dog, before it dies from neglect. If the Haifa Municipality's veterinary service is not working as expected, (like nothing works in this municipality) then you can contact the Nature and Parks Authority (NPA). They have a department that deals with animal abuse.
Get it, the Haifa municipality is incapable of anything. Only God knows where a budget of three billion NIS a year goes. Dirty, neglected, noisy with criminals. A disgusting city that any young person would do themselves a big favor by leaving.
This is what happens when you repeatedly elect a failed mayor.
Shuki, this is the entire country. Anyone whose eyes see and whose mind understands, knows that this is a national, not a local, situation. There is no country between the Jordan and the sea, you will not understand.
Dear neighbor, what doesn't go by force, will go by more force. Get a few tenants together and at once (preferably at night), collect all the dregs and throw them into a container you've prepared in advance. We'll see if that neighbor opens the door. As for the dog, lure him with some meat and he won't bother. Don't expect or trust the municipality.
Tachles
What doesn't work with force will work with more force.. haha. A hollow slogan that necessarily indicates the lack of brains in the equation.
Liora, regarding the dog, do not tempt or entice, call the Ministry of Agriculture. They have a department that deals with the issue of animals that are abused. They will come if a veterinarian from the Ministry of Agriculture comes. They will surprise the lady and immediately confiscate the dog. And regarding the garbage and the drak, unequivocally, as you wrote, all the neighbors, one hand, throw everything away. Clean the entire area with a high hand and an outstretched arm. I would make a purple one out of her. If she opens here, immediately call the police and say that she is threatening, that she is abusing, that she is breaking the law. This is not her private property. Once, twice, three times, and again, you have lost your quality of life!!!!!
A dog tied up 24/7 with a barrier over its mouth??? This is abuse in its own right of the helpless!! Where is the animal cruelty? Where are the veterinarians??
In Kiryat Shmuel, we also store them in a stairwell. We also store carts from the supermarket.
