Eyewitness News Report Leads To Crackdown At Mobile Home Park

Posted: 5:07 pm EDT September 29, 2006Updated: 5:51 pm EDT September 29, 2006

Orange County code enforcers, health inspectors, animal control officers, and deputies fanned out across an Orlando mobile home park Friday, all because of a report on Eyewitness News at 6 on Thursday.

Thursday, Eyewitness News was with the health department as they conducted a routine check of The Palms trailer park on South Orange Blossom Trail.

Because of what they saw, code enforcement formed the new task force that included each of the aforementioned agencies.

Friday, the task force went back to the mobile home complex and found violations in each of the 99 mobile homes.

"Doing a unit by unit inspection, mainly exterior, and several units have been condemned just today because of that," said chief code enforcer Kurt Fasnacht.

Eleven units in all were condemned.

The out-of-state owner now has 30 days to make repairs or face fines of up to $1,000 per violation, per day.
