SUNRISE - Debra Higgins' property got a makeover Saturday.
She didn't win a contest. But because she owes more than $600,000 in fines on her home for code violations, the city volunteered to lend her a hand, or more like many hands.
More than a dozen volunteers from the city, police and police Explorers spent their morning filling up a 40-yard Dumpster with rotting furniture left outside, vegetation and debris.
A four-foot beehive was also removed where an estimated 90,000 honeybees made a home, Sunrise Commissioner Larry Sofield said.
"We're trying to give her some help; it got out of hand," Sofield said.
