Doesn't the park has an association?

No it is a Co-op. According to VSA Title 10 Chapter 153 (Mobile Home Parks) the only LEGAL action
the Co-op can take is EVICTION. The City has other options not as life altering to the tenant and costly to the Co-op that is in it's infancy with limited funds.

What action is the City going to take if any ?

Have you talked to Cathy and followed the protocols as established by the trailer park staff? They will reach out to us if they need our assistance.

I have talked to the Chair person of the Co-op Complaint Committee. I was told that the City has already been informed and your assistance would be provided. This was a result of a meeting with code enforcement. If no action is taken my next communication will be with Seven Days and any other media that will listen. This has been an ongoing problem (20-B) for more than a decade that began when the "Farringtons" owned the park and is continuing with the Co-op. Please do something besides passing the Buck. It is "leased property" not rented, therefore private property and the responsibility of the leasee.

You have the right to contact whomever you wish. I am sure the Co-Op would appreciate it.

They already know ! Maybe the residents of the City would be enlightened and appreciate the fine job your doing ?

Looks like the City is ignoring this as well.

The Co-op has already taken all steps it legally is permitted to, with the exception of EVICTION. This is the last resort and would remove the tenant from their home. The cost of moving a mobile home to another park is ~$8,000 plus, (if a lot can be found). Most likely the owner would be forced to sell, forcing them to re-locate. The City has other measures, including fines at it's disposal. That's why the Co-op has asked for their help.

Trash removed some time ago, closing issue
