| 08/21/2019 | INSP - INITIAL CODE ENFORCMENT | GOODMAN | Approved | VISITED SITE, MET WITH TPD OFFICERS WHO INFORMED WHAT THE SITUATION OR CONDITION OF THE HOUSE WAS. TPD INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE WERE INSIDE THE HOUSE, THE MOTHER SUSAN BENNETT, 81 YRS OLD. MRS BENNETT WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR OBSERVATION BECAUSE SHE WAS UNABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS SUCH AS WHAT DAY IT WAS, TIME OF DAY, LAST MEAL ETC. HER SON MARTY BENNETT WAS THE 2ND PERSON, MRS BENNETTS SON AND CAREGIVER. I INSPECTED BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE TRAILER, MY FINDINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS: > AS I FIRST WALKED THRU THE FRONT GATE TO MY LEFT WERE TWO GARBAGE CANS THAT HAD NOT BEEN DUMPED IN SOME TIME. BOTH CANS WERE FILLED WITH HUNDREDS OF SMALL ROACHES. ROACHES WERE ALSO CRAWLING UPON THE CONCRETE PORCH FLOOR AND ON THE SIDE OF THE TRAILER. >THERE WERE CATS TOWARD THE BACK OF THE YARD, THE AREA SMELLED STRONGLY OF CAT URINE AND FECIES. >THE FRONT STEPS TO THE TRAILER WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL STEPS BUT WERE MADE UP OF CINDER BLOCK NOT ATTACHED TO THE TRAILER AND NO HAND RAILS. THERE WAS A 6 INCH GAP BETWEEN THE STEPS AND THE TRAILER. POSSIBLE HAZARD OR TRIP STEP. >UPON ENTERING THE TRAILER IT WAS DIFFICULT NOT TO NOTICE AGAIN THE ROACH INFESTATION. ROACHES WERE FOUND ALL OVER THE FLOOR, ON THE FRONT KITCHEN CABINETS AND INSIDE THE CABINETS. ON THE BOTTLED WATER AND FOOD THAT WAS NOT INSIDE THE CABINETS. ON THE COUNTER TOPS AND ON THE WALLS. THERE WAS A BED SET UP ON THE LIVINGROOM FLOOR. TPD OFFICERS STATED THAT WAS WERE THE MOTHER WAS SLEEPING. ROACHES WERE ALL OVER THE BED AND IN THE BEDDING. SPIDER WEBS WERE HANGING ABOVE THE BED. >KITCHEN SINK WAS NOT USABLE BECAUSE OF ALL THE DIRTY DISHES IN THE SINK, OLD FOOD AND TRASH AND DEBRIS ON THE COUNTER TOPS. >FOUND EXPOSED WIRING THROUGHOUT THE TRAILER. OUTLETS, SWITCHES AND FIXTURES WERE NOT COMPLETED AND EXPOSED THE WIRING. >PANELING ABOVE THE KITCHEN AREA WAS DETERIORATED AND SAGGING. THERE WAS LARGE HOLE IN THE DRYWALL, 3 FT X 4 FT, THE DRYWALL CEILING ABOVE THE BED WAS MISSING APPROX 4 FT X 10 FT. AND THE REAR BEDROOM CEILING MISSING ALTOGETHER. ALL MISSING PORTIONS DID HAVE R-TECH, A FOAM INSULATION OR ENGINEERED INSULATION THAT COVERED THE OPENINGS. I DO NOT THINK THE INSULATION IS BEING USED FOR WHAT IT SHOULD BE USED FOR. >MANY OF THE WINDOWS WERE FOUND BOARDED AND THE REMAINING OR EXISTING ORIGINAL WINDOWS WERE NOT OPERABLE. THE EXITS WERE LIMITED TO THE FRONT DOOR ONLY. >THERE WERE NO SMOKE DETECTORS ANYWHERE IN THE TRAILER. >THE HALL BATHROOM HAD NO WORKING SINK, THE TOILET WAS DISCUSTING AS IT HAD BEEN USED BUT NOT FLUSHED, AND THE TUB WAS FILTHY. I FOUND SPIDER WEBS THRU OUT THE BATHROOM, ALONG THE FLOOR AND CEILING AND HANGING FROM THE LIGHT FIXTURE. FIXTURE WAS NOT PROPERL HUNG OR WIRED. >AS I WALKED THE TRAILER I FOUND SOFT SPOTS THRU OUT THE FLOORING, PROBABLY DAMAGED OR DETERIORATED PLYWOOD SUB FLOOR. >TRASH AND DEBRIS WAS FOUND THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE. DIRTY CLOTHES THROWN ALL OVER THE FLOOR AS WELL. BIKES AND TOOLS WERE BEING STORED IN THE LIVINGROOM AREA. > I FOUND A GAS LINE THAT HAD BEEN ABAONDED IN THE LIVING ROOM AS WELL. GAS HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. MY OBSERVATION IS THAT THE TRAILER IS NOT LIVABLE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION ESPECIALLY FOR A 81 YR OLD PERSON. CODE ENFORCEMENT INFORMED TPD OFFICER THAT THE HOUSE IS TO BE CONDEMNED AND WHEN SPEAK WITH THE HOSPITAL STAFF THAT THEY SHOULD BE INFORMED THAT MRS BENNETT CANNOT RETURN TO THE TRAILER IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION. NOV FOR EMERGENCY ABATEMENT AND ORDER TO VACATE WAS ISSUED AND SIGNED FOR BY THE SON MARTY BENNETT. THE TRAILER WAS POSTED WITH "DO NOT ENTER, UNFIT TO OCCUPY" PLACARDS. MARTY WAS INFORMED HE COULD NOT OCCUPY THE TRAILER. MARTY STATED HE WOULD STAY WITH HIS SISTER. HE WAS INFORMED THAT HE COULD ONLY BE INSIDE IF HE WAS FIXING THE UNIT UP OR CLEANING UP. MARTY WAS INFORMED THAT IF HE WANTED TO REOCCUPY THE UNIT, A INSPECTION WOULD BE CONDUCTED BY TPD, TEP AND CODE ENFORCEMENT. I LATER SPOKE WITH A TPD DETECTIVE WHO STATED MRS BENNETT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RE ENTER THE UNIT, AND THAT THE CASE WAS BEING ISSUED TO THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. |
