| 11/06/2003 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | JCRAIG | Correction Required | AT SITE I MET OWNER AND CALLER- IS VERY UPSET WITH ISSUES IN AND AROUND HOME, THE OWNER A MINOR FEMALE (17) FROM CALIF. IS AT SITE BECAUSE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR CALLED HER TO TUCSON, DUE TO PROBLEMS WITH HOME. THE OWNER WAS GIVEN THE HOME IN A TRUST, BECAUSE HER FATHER DIED (2) YEARS AGO. THE OWNER THOUGHT THE UNIT WAS BEING TAKEN CARE BY HER FATHER'S FRIEND (MR ROBERT BERNI). THIS IS THE SAME NAME ON LEGAL IN MY FILE, WHEN I TOLD CHILD OWNER OF NAME, SHE BECAME VERY UPSET, SHE STATED IT WAS HER HOME. I WILL BE REQUIRED TO RESEARCH ISSUE. WHEN I INSPECTED THE HOME IT WAS VERY BAD INSIDE, INCLUDING DRUG NEEDLES, DRUG PIPES, AND DRUG BAGS (OLD). THE HOME WAS TORN APART INSIDE, I ALSO SAW THAT THE CEILING WAS BURNED FROM TENANT JUMPING ELECT. METER OUTSIDE-(SEE PHOTO'S). I CALLED TEP AND THEY STATED THE METER HAD BEEN JUMPED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR, SO THEY INSTALLED A PLASTIC SHIELD - I ALSO CALLED S.W.GAS TO SEE IF THEY HAD ISSUES AND THE TENANT WAS ALSO BREAKING GAS METER LOCKS OFF TO GET SERVICE. METER WAS REMOVED ALSO NOTE TUCSON WATER HAS REMOVED METER FOR SAME PROBLEMS. IN THE REAR PORCH I FOUND A BED AND OTHER BEDROLLS THAT SHOW PEOPLE ARE EVEN SLEEPING IN YARD AND PORCHES AT SITE. THE UNIT HAS (3) BROKEN WINDOWS AT SITE AND (3) DOORS, THAT WILL NOT SECURE AT THIS TIME, I DID ASK OWNER IF THEY COULD SECURE UNIT. THEY STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS. THE UNIT'S HISTORY AND CURRENT STATE I FEEL IS A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE SECURED WITHIN 24 HOURS. NOTICE POSTED AT SITE. PHOTO'S ARE WITH CASE FILE. ALSO NOTE (4) JMV AND MINOR TRASH IN YARDS. REF TO ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES. |

THE UNIT WAS FOUND WITH UTILITIES AT SITE. ALL METERS (IE) ELECT., GAS, WATER, REMOVED DUE TO STEALING UTILITIES. (3) ADULTS WERE TAKEN BY TUCSON POLICE DEPT. FOR DRUGS AFTER THE POLICE HELPED ME WITH VERY MAD TENANTS. I FOUND PERSONS USING FLASHLIGHT, PROPANE LAMPS, CANDLES IN EVERY ROOM. I FOUND ALL DOOR KNOBS BROKEN OFF TO EVERY DOOR AND (4) WINDOWS BROKEN AGAIN. I CALLED OWNER WHILE AT SITE BECAUSE PERSON INSIDE HAD LETTER STATING IT WAS OKAY TO LIVE THERE. I TOLD TENANT THAT CITY CODES DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO LIVE IN A UNIT WITHOUT UTILITIES. THE (9) PERSONS INSIDE GOT VERY MAD AND I CALLED TPD TO HELP CONTROL PERSONS WHILE I DID INSPECTION. THE OWNER (MINOR) IN CALIF. STATED NO ONE IS ALLOWED IN UNIT. I ASKED OWNER IF SHE COULD OR WAS ABLE TO SECURE TONIGHT. SHE STATED SHE COULD NOT DUE TO MONEY AND HOME BEING IN TRUST FUND.

UNIT IS DEEMED UN-FIT AND IS BEING SECURED BY CITY OF TUCSON. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH MY SUPERVISOR WHILE AT SITE TO OKAY SECUREMENT BY C.O.T. (PHOTOS TAKEN AT SITE). NOTICE POSTED AT SITE. |
