City Administrator John McFarland shared the results of an
inspection of Southgate Trailer Park by the City, the Dept. of Labor
Industry, and the King County Health Dept. Findings were as
follows: Five trailers were not in compliance with Labor and
Industry standards for structural aspects. They were red tagged as
"uninhabitable The entire park was deemed out of compliance
with electrical hookup standards. Several trailers have illegal and
improper natural gas hookups, improper water hookups, and
improper sewer hookups resulting in standing sewage on the
ground. The inspectors also found several power transformers had
been dismantled and left on the ground by tenant(s) unknown,
electrical meters had been tampered with; garbage strewn on the
ground; dumpsters left uncovered. Final reports from L &I and
King County are expected next week. A few tenants may have to
be relocated as a result of the findings. In this case, the expense of
relocating tenants is the responsibility of the landlord.
