Questions Owners and Landlords in Lower Pacific Heights, San Francisco, CA Ask About Animal Waste Cleanup

How should I treat the person who kept the animals?

With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.

Who pays for animal hoarding cleanup?

Often the owner, resident or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Animal control or a rescue group takes care of the animals and usually does not pay for cleaning the home. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities.

Will personal belongings and papers be saved?

Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.

Does the resident need to be present?

Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.

What happens to deceased animals found in the home?

They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.

Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?

Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
