Abandoned House that is Full of Junk

There is an abandoned house next door to my property that has been abandoned(unoccupied) for over 12 years. One of my neighbors is using it to stockpile all sorts of junk. I can not get any help for local officials. What civil recourse do I have to force the clean up of this property( which is devaluing my property)?
