Summary

City code enforcement reported a double-wide trailer at 216 E Highway 24 with extensive interior garbage and no running water; commissioners approved Resolution 2025-32 to set the abatement process to clean the structure and make it habitable rather than pursue demolition.

Code enforcement (Speaker 10) briefed the commission on repeated attempts to get a tenant and property owner to remediate conditions at a double-wide trailer at 216 E Highway 24 (Lot D5). Officer Zach said staff were first called with police and DCF involvement; initial inspection found interior garbage about six inches deep in places and no running water in the trailer.

Staff recommended moving forward with abatement to clean and make the structure habitable rather than demolish, noting minor early progress but no sustained remediation in the last month-and-a-half. The officer said the property owners knew of the problems and had a manager working on remediation but progress had been insufficient.

Commissioner Redland (Speaker 11) moved to approve Resolution 2025-32 to commence the abatement process and set required public-notice steps; the motion was seconded and approved on roll call. Staff said the structure is not being demolished at this time — the immediate objective is to clean and make it habitable or otherwise proceed with the abatement process as allowed under local code.
