Resident urges city to hold trailer‑park owner accountable after alleged unlawful eviction and long‑standing code issues
Summary
During public comment, a long‑term resident of Victoria Oaks asked the city to enforce code and consider legal remedies after alleging the trailer‑park owner issued an unlawful eviction and failed to maintain property conditions.
During the opening public comment portion of the Dec. 19 meeting, resident Michael Bondro of Victoria Oaks urged the city to hold the owner of a local trailer park accountable, saying the park’s condition had deteriorated and that he had been issued what he called an unlawful eviction.
Bondro said he lives at 2204 East North Street, Lot 20A, and described the trailer park as looking “like a war zone.” He told commissioners he had complained to public works and code enforcement but said the park’s general manager posted a “no trespass” sign and locked the gate, preventing him from dealing directly with the manager.
Bondro said the owner, whom he identified as a successful personal‑injury lawyer, “could easily fix it” but has shown no interest in doing so. He said he received an eviction notice dated Dec. 23 and that the park’s management refused to tell him the basis for the eviction; Bondro said he pays rent on time and has lived in the park for about 30 years.
He urged the city’s legal department to consider enforcement options; he suggested, without citing a specific code section, that the city could pursue civil forfeiture to take over the park. Bondro concluded by asking the city “to hold the trailer park owner accountable.”
No commission action on the eviction or a referral to legal was recorded in the meeting minutes; the public‑comment segment closed after Bondro’s remarks.
