Summary
Angela Delgado told the council she has filed complaints for 12 years about a property she says is a fire hazard and that road striping and maintenance in the Los Alamos area are unsafe; council did not record a formal response or action.
Angela Delgado told the San Luis City Council on Aug. 21, 2025, that a house in the Los Alamos subdivision has been a persistent fire hazard for about 12 years and that repeated complaints to the city have not produced a resolution.
Delgado described overgrown vegetation and hay near federal land, missing no‑smoking signs, and a road dip she said lacks painted striping: “I do not want to have my subdivision up in flames…I think somebody needs to take the reins and make it safe,” she said. She said she has filed “a lot of complaints for that subdivision over 12 years” and that she has been told the problem is being addressed, but the condition persists.
She also told the council that the road striping is gone on a dangerous dip and said she was uncertain whether the Arizona Department of Transportation or another agency is responsible for repainting. The transcript records no formal motion, staff report or council direction in response to her complaint during the meeting.
Why it matters: If the conditions Delgado described are accurate and remain uncorrected, they may pose a fire and traffic‑safety risk for local residents.
Limits: Statements are based on one resident’s account; the transcript does not include a staff update or timeline for remediation. The article does not assert city negligence beyond the resident’s statement.
What to watch: Council or staff follow-up documentation about complaints, code‑enforcement actions, and responsibility for road striping (city versus ADOT) should clarify next steps.
