| 03/09/2000 | 03/08/00 RESPONDED TO EMERGENCY CALL OUT BY TPD OFFICER V. VIZMANOS #26241. CONCERN WAS THAT HOUSE WAS A HAZARD FOR THE OCCUPANT MRS. SALTNASS. INSPECTION OF THE DWELLING FOUND IT LITERALLY FILLED WITH NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES AND OTHER DEBRIS IN ALL ROOMS. TO GET INTO OR ACROSS ANY OF THE ROOMS REQUIRED CLIMBING OVER OR WALKING ON AT LEAST 12" OF NEWSPAPER, ONE OF THE BEDROOMS WAS INACCESSABLE DUE TO THE DEBRIS AROUND ITS ENTRY DOOR. THERE WERE NO MAJOR STRUCTURAL FLAWS, NOR WERE THERE ANY STRICTLY HOUSING ISSUES WITH THE DWELLING OTHER THAN A CLOGGED TOILET AND SOME PAST DETERIORATION WITH THE BATHROOM CEILING. BUT BECAUSE OF THE DEBRIS IN THE HOUSE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A HEALTH INSPECTOR AND A FIRE INSPECTOR SHOULD LOOK AT THE DWELLING. INSPECTOR J. VALENZUELA, FIRE MARSHALL #6 DETERMINED AFTER INSPECTION THAT THE DWELLING POSED A FIRE HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANT AND CONDEMNED THE DWELLING FOR THAT REASON. INSPECTOR G. HUERTA FROM PIMA COUNTY HEALTH WROTE A VIOLATION LETTER FOR THE DEBRIS AND CLOGGED PLUMBING AS A SANITATION ISSUE AND CONDEMNED THE DWELLING FOR THAT PURPOSE. BECAUSE SO MANY AGENCIES WERE INVOLVED WITH THE INSPECTIONS IT WAS DECIDED THAT DSC WOULD TAKE THE LEAD AND POST THE BUILDING "UNFIT TO OCCUPY". TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS HEALTH AND SAFETY, INSPECTOR L. HANLY CONTACTED A.P.S. AND THE CLOSEST FAMILY OF MRS. SALTNASS. THE FAMILY (MR. & MRS. ANNETTE 602-973-1964) OF MRS. |
| 03/09/2000 | SALTNASS WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY HELP TO HER DUE TO THEIR DISTANCE FROM TUCSON AND THEIR ADVANCED AGE. ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES INSPECTOR JOY JAMISON (886-4066x220) THEN TOOK MRS. SALTNASS INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY. THE FIRE MARSHALLS SHUT OFF THE GAS AND ELECTRICITY AT THEIR RESPECTIVE METERS AND SEALED THE DWELLING.
