The Kāinga Ora property on Universal Drive has been surrounded by rubbish since 2019.

Despite multiple complaints to Kāinga Ora and Auckland Council, the problem remains.

One neighbour, who did not want to be named due to security fears, said there was lots of noise at the house, along with piles of rubbish that had attracted vermin.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
