Find Care & Housing
Imho, there are so many factors wrong with this multi-faceted issue that I believe will impel you to take some type of action, e.g. Power of Attorney, notification of your Father's town's elder case worker and social worker, and the fact that he's stuck of the "two-week mantra."

I would get in contact with some type of elder care because he definitely needs help.  He might be comfortable living that way because it is "his home", but in reality he is not living in healthy conditions and how did his vehicle pass inspection if fuel tank is duct taped?  Do not feel guilty for reporting the situation.  Call an office of aging or police in his area to do a wellness check and/or to have someone check on him and they can report health hazard conditions.  he will either have to pay to get it cleaned up (not you) or it will be condemned and he will have to move into an assisted living area.  IF you contact someone to check on him, you can remain anonymous (tell them that you are a friend - no name given) and tell them that you are concerned for an elderly person not living in good conditions.  That way when and if he is told he has to fix it up, he won't be mad at you.  good luck

For Heaven's sake, get him out of that house! I had been a Realtor for years as well until I gave it up and saw first hand the toxic effects of black mold in many houses. I don't think I have to tell you how quickly it spreads. Everywhere. Not only that, it has the potential to affect cognitive abilities. Even mold that's not black mold can cause a host of health problems- the risk goes up with long-term exposure (had that happen to an Aunt of mine).
Best wishes whatever you decide!
