I'd call them before calling the police because you already know the police are not going to do anything. Short staffed + incompetent leaders so its a waste of time to call them.

You are in a neighborhood so this might not be an option, but if there is away you can shoot your gun without them seeing you, but where they will hear you and is enough to scare them when you do shot, there is a small chance they will move somewhere else? In a more rural area you can get away with this, but I am sure you will have neighbors who will get all worked up about it.

Make them some kool aid and give them that Jonestown special.. Im joking about this of course, but it does make you wonder if that would really work, but start with the land owner.

I used to work for local government in a department where all the lots and land that had become abandoned, we had to go to the clerk of court and research the owners (a lot of those areas were places in which the owners died and the closest relatives lived out of state. Most had no idea they legally owned it, no one paid taxes on it, etc). I want to say there were one or two situations in which the people living on side of these abandoned properties took legal action.

In one case a person was given the option to take over the property if they agreed to pay the taxes, but contact the land owners, see how that goes then if they don't do anything consult with a lawyer. Im pretty sure you can legally force them to do something, if you are willing to spend the money and put in the time to do so.
