The Santa Fe County Public Nuisance Hearing Officer Meeting held on April 24, 2025, focused on significant issues regarding a manufactured home that has been deemed a public nuisance due to severe plumbing and structural problems.

During the meeting, officials discussed detailed findings from an inspection report, highlighting multiple areas of concern within the property. Key issues included non-functioning toilets and bathtubs, as well as extensive damage to the plumbing system. The inspection revealed that many walls had been ripped open, likely to salvage materials such as copper wiring and PVC piping.

Further examination showed that the electrical systems were non-functional, with multiple holes in the floors and signs of buckling ceilings throughout the home. The kitchen was particularly affected, lacking usable cooking facilities due to water damage from a compromised roof.

The meeting also referenced the 2023 Nuisance Abatement Ordinance, which grants the county the authority to enforce violations related to public nuisances. Despite the severity of the situation, it was noted that code enforcement had not returned to the property since the initial inspection on February 25.

The discussions underscored the ongoing challenges faced by the county in addressing public nuisance properties and the need for timely enforcement actions to ensure community safety and health. The next steps in this case remain to be determined as officials consider the implications of the findings.
