In 2013 Sparrow in East Flatbush for the first time received a water bill of $15 000 instead of the usual $200. The city then suggested that the homeowner hire a contractor to do excavations under the house and find the leak. Joseph Sparrow decided not to pay, and to hire a tax accountant for verification. The power is still shut off his water.

«Yet» been four years, and, despite the fact that the house is disconnected from the water bills continue to go, and now Sparrow needs $550 000, though the last four years no longer lives in this house. He told Brooklyn News that many times appeal and complaint, but was refused. Now, even if he will be able to resolve their issues, he’s going to sell this house and «leave this Chapter of his life behind him.»
