Resident says year-old code-enforcement case shows delay in action on occupied trailers

City Council of Clear Lake · August 20, 2026

Summary

A resident told the council a code-enforcement case about trailers being used as living quarters has been open for more than a year with few violations and asked the council what constitutes 'living quarters'; the complainant said they possess video evidence and county tax documents.

A resident raised a code-enforcement complaint about a property where construction trailers or sheds appear to be used as living quarters with air conditioners and lights on at night. The speaker said they began the complaint process in June 2025 and that violations have been open for more than a year.

"I started this in June of 2025. We're almost in September of 2026. Violations have been open that long," the resident said, adding they had photos and video and that the parcel remains in a deceased owner's name on county tax records. The resident said they had previously asked staff (naming Alan Flory) to inspect and had been told the staff member did not want to review footage.

The speaker asked the council to clarify what constitutes a "living quarters" and whether the city would escalate enforcement. No immediate enforcement action or council directive was recorded in the meeting minutes.
