| 10/29/2014 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | SMITH | Approved | Called by TPD to assist with a property at 1805 W 36th St for unsafe living conditions. APS had already been there and was unable to get inside the house; they in turn call TPD and Code Enforcement to make a well fair check on the owner Mr. Richard McQuigg. TPD was able to talk Mr. McQuigg into letting Inspector Smith inside to check the living condition inside. The inspection found trash and debris throughout the inside of the property, water was working but with only cold water. There was urine on the bathroom floor, the toilet was not bolted to the floor, and there was rugs around the base of the toilet that was soaked in urine. The master bedroom had trash and open urine bottles setting in the floor, the 2nd bedroom had trash throughout and the window was boarded to where a normal person would not be able to get out if there was a fire. During our inspection we found hazards electrical with over loaded outlets/receptacles, outlets that were not anchored to the wall. Ext cords were run from one side of the living room to the other as a source for power and as well in all the bedrooms. The house was unfit for human habitation. The owner was told that the City of Tucson was going to give a notice of emergency abatement and order to vacate the property. Mr. McQuigg case worker Laurie Torrango called me back and stated she had TFD coming to check on Mr.McQuigg and he was going to be transported to the VA hospital to be check for a chest infection and TB, his daughter and grandson was told they had one hour to remove any items they would need for the night and that they could come back in the day light hours to work on the house and to clean it up, but could not be there during the hours of darkness, or they would be arrested. Bathcrest was called to secure the two front windows the front door was locked by the grandson. Property was posted with DO NOT OCCUPY UNSAFE TO ENTER. |
