BATON ROUGE- Despite being cited for running an illegal business at a residence, nothing seems to be able to stop the violators in the 2600 block of Jackson Avenue.
A number of neighbors tell WBRZ, they first tried to talk to the tenants there about the loud work they were doing in the middle of the night. Those complaints fell on deaf ears, so they elevated it to the city level.

The area behind the house is littered with heavy machinery, tree trucks, motors, and bins of chemicals.
