Lenny Dykstra’s illegal rooming house is really nailin’ the quality of life in one New Jersey town.
That’s according to councilmembers and neighbors of the former MLB great in Linden, where Dykstra, 55, has crammed as many as 10 people into his two-story home on a tree-lined street now plagued with oversized piles of trash, transient tenants and physical confrontations, as well as alleged prostitution and drug use.
“It all started when he moved in,” neighbor Linda Graham told NJ Advance Media. “There’s been two overdoses. There’s been a scuffle on the front lawn. There’s been people who are here today, gone tomorrow.
