Molly  & all the young folks there most of the summer to whip the 
place into shape...and with Kreacher's UNfondness for 
household duties anyway,  it's not like he was needed nor much 
help around there.  Why DIDN'T  Sirius release him as soon as 
he returned??

Sirius was sure that Kreacher would die if he were freed. It never 
occured to him that Kreacher had enough initiative to 
serve the Malfoys as a spy. I think he felt that freeing an old, 
useless House Elf who wouldn't be able to find another Master 
would be a rather disgraceful thing to do; like dumping an aging 
family  pet at the animal shelter, or worse, turning it loose on the 
street.
