A MECHANIC deemed one of the worst neighbors in America for his outrageous collection of junk piled in his yard has opened up about why he’ll never clean up.

It’s been 25 years since Alan Davis was deemed the “Junk Man” over his hoard, and despite $5.5 million in fines and jail time, he’s vowed to never stop showing off his trash.

Davis, 69, and his wife Aileen live in a quiet neighborhood in Altamonte Springs, Florida, north of Orlando, right beside middle-class homes with white picket fences.

The street would be idyllic if not for the shocking eyesore that neighbors claim has slashed the value of their properties by nearly 20%, the Daily Mail reported.

Defiant Davis has filled his weed-covered property with at least 18 broken-down cars, piles of rusted parts, and hoards of disgusting trash.

Horrified residents have slammed Davis for the littering as they claim it creates a breeding ground for pests like mosquitoes and raccoons.

“I thought for sure by now it’d be cleaned up,” David Radosevich told CBS affiliate WKMG.

“It’s a junkyard.”

Meanwhile, Davis shrugs off every complaint and calls his way of living a “political protest,” he told the outlet.

When he’s asked about the concerns, he merely points to his piece de resistance – a 6-foot-tall sculpture of a human butt bending over – as he tells outraged neighbors to “kiss my a*s.”

“The government doesn’t permit me to do anything. I do what I want on my property,” he told the local outlet.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Davis said, “What I do behind that property line is my business. I’m God.”

But Davis hasn’t always been able to outrun the law with his antics. He’s served a total of nearly five years behind bars for his outrageous violations of county code.

He was first convicted of a third-degree felony for violating the Florida Litter Law in 2004 and ended up serving around four years, according to WKMG.

Then in 2017, he pleaded no contest to a separate felony littering charge.

He dodged a conviction at first because of the terms of the agreement, but was thrown in jail for a year after he continued to violate the rules, the local outlet reported.

‘THIS IS FREEDOM’

The mechanic has been able to stay on his property through a Florida law loophole that protects property owners from eviction if they violate codes.

He also isn’t a part of an HOA, which could take ownership of his home away if he broke the terms of their agreement.

County officials do have the power to remove yard messes if the situation is deemed “objectionable, unsightly, or unsanitary,” but that hasn’t always worked out for them.

Years ago, one man bid just $90 to claim the entirety of Davis’ hoard of junk.

Little did officials know, the man was actually Davis’ friend, and he promptly returned the mess of junk back to the lawn in a matter of weeks.

When he was asked about the fines for code violations, Davis brazenly vowed to never pay up.

“Freedom has a look. This is what it looks like. This is freedom,” he said.

“If the government can tell you what to do with your property, you don’t have freedom.”

Meanwhile, county officials say they’re continuing to try and enforce the law to keep the outraged neighbors happy.

“Seminole County understands the community’s frustrations with this long-standing issue,” county spokesperson Andy Wontor told WKMG.

“Over the past 25 years, the County has pursued every legal action available under state statutes, including accruing fines against the property in question.

“Unfortunately, without changes to state law, our ability to enforce further action is limited.”

The U.S. Sun has reached out to Davis for comment.
