I am a concerned resident in the Whitby trailer park. Our concerns seem to be passed from one government authority to the next with no results. And this has been the case for the couple years that I have lived in this trailer park.
The trailer park is possibly going to be shut down with a years notice to residents who primarily own their own trailers, as the owner has a building application before the city. Problem is that the owner of the property has defaulted on his mortgage and the property is presently being run by a property management company hired by the mortgagee. The residents of this park are being left in the dark over many issues of this park(2 days before Christmas this was literally the case with approximately 20 trailers not having power for approximately 18 hours)
I have concerns over the repair that I have heard was only temporary to get us through Christmas to the electrical panel supplying power to the park. To get power back to the 20 trailers, I have heard that a 400 amp fuse was installed in a 250 amp fuse block. If this isn't wrong enough, less than 10 feet away is a 100 pound propane tank that has been installed by a non-licensed individual and the park has extensive water issues.
I have just finished calling the local fire department and was told that they have reported the propane tank to the TSSA and that I should call ESA about the hydro. Well I have called ESA and been informed that the individual who will possibly be looking into this is on time off and may look into it tomorrow. Why should my family's lives be put in jeopardy over someone on time off, a fire official who has no jurisdiction and an individual resident who chooses to copy cat my own propane installation without seeking out proper documentation or installation. Yes, I am concerned; because, I had to have a licensed installer not only install a new switchover regulator but also apply a safety certificate before I could use my propane or I would face a hefty fine.
In the park we still have residents without proper running water and they have been dealing with the property management company and the city by-law officers for approximately 1 month now. In fact there is not even a fire hydrant within the park, the closest fire hydrant is across a major 4 lane highway. If there were a fire in this trailer park due to electrical standards not being maintained or whatever other possible reason what chance of putting out a fire is there?? In my opinion, NONE.
I hope that you will consider looking into this matter for over 60 trailers and 3 houses that are kept in various states of disrepair. I feel that NO ONE else is taking our concerns/lives seriously.
Thank you,
