During a recent government meeting, officials addressed significant concerns regarding a trailer park located between Second and Third Streets and Addicks and Excelsior. The discussion highlighted multiple issues, including the presence of dangerous buildings, drainage problems, and unpermitted vehicle storage.
A local representative reported that three trailers, previously deemed dilapidated in Sand Springs, had been relocated to the site without the necessary permits. The representative provided photographic evidence of the trailers, which exhibited severe structural damage, including openings that allowed the elements to enter, and unsanitary conditions, such as garbage accumulation and foul odors.
The recommendation put forth was to declare the site a public nuisance, allowing for the cleanup and demolition of a total of seven trailers identified as problematic. The urgency of the situation was emphasized, with officials noting that complaints about the site had persisted for several years.
In response, a representative from the trailer park expressed a desire to improve the conditions and indicated plans to connect and sell the homes, although they acknowledged the challenges of meeting code requirements. The council reiterated their commitment to resolving the issue promptly, citing ongoing difficulties in communication and enforcement.
The meeting underscored the need for immediate action to address the deteriorating conditions of the trailer park, with officials determined to eliminate the eyesore and ensure compliance with local regulations.
