What Is Hoarding?
7. Hoarding Level 2
In order for the hoarding level 2 to be declared, certain criteria need to be met. These include cooling or heating systems malfunctioning for at least 6 months, a blocked exit, or an appliance not working for 6 months. There is also likely to be more clutter around the home and garbage cans may be overflowing.
For hoarding level 2 to be declared, there will also need to be some mildew in the kitchen or bathroom, although this can be just a mild amount. There can be pet waste on the floor and in litter boxes, and the home may have a slight unpleasant odor of pets. Kitchen surfaces are likely to be dirty, and pets like reptiles, fish, or birds will be showing signs of neglect.
