The Bay County Code Magistrate Hearing on May 14, 2025, focused on a significant case involving a mobile home in a state of disrepair. The property, which consists of three individual mobile homes, has been under scrutiny due to ongoing violations related to health and safety standards.

During the hearing, Inspector Pam Zimmerman detailed her findings from multiple inspections of the mobile home located at 3605 Eastern Orlando. The inspector reported severe damage, including broken and boarded-up windows, improper electrical connections, and a roof in disrepair. Notably, the mobile home exhibited signs of neglect, with trash accumulating outside and structural issues that rendered it unsafe for habitation.

The property is owned by two sisters, who indicated that they had rented the land to a tenant, Pam Zimmerman. Despite attempts to contact the tenant, there was no response, prompting further inspections. The inspector noted that while some debris had been cleared, the mobile home remained in violation of safety codes.

Inspector Zimmerman highlighted the presence of transients at the property, which raised concerns about unauthorized occupancy. A notice of violation was issued to both the property owner and the alleged tenant, marking a critical step in addressing the ongoing issues.

The hearing underscored the importance of maintaining housing standards in Bay County, as officials continue to monitor the situation and enforce compliance. The next steps will involve further inspections and potential legal actions to ensure the property is brought up to code.
