City Works With Alabama Mobile Home Park Owner To Clean Up Property
The city of East Brewton, Alabama is working with the new owner of Dauphine’s Mobile Home Park to clean up the property. The park, recently taken back by note holder Lynn Pitts, is in a state of disrepair, and the city is working with the new owner to bring it into compliance with city codes.
“We have to make decisions all the time on things like this” said Mayor Terry Clark. “We know there are things that have to be done to make East Brewton a better place to live”.
Under the terms of an agreement with Pitts, he has 180 days to make the repairs to the property. The city has identified 25 mobile homes in the park that have issues.
“He has already done some work over there and is progressing well with it” said city inspector Lawton Shipp. “I think he will do what he can to make things better there. He’s already shown he’s willing to work at this”.
Frank & Dave’s Analysis of This Story:
Our hat is off to Lynn Pitts! That’s exactly how you handle a situation like this. Go to the city and say “I want to make this better, here’s my timetable” – and then stick to it. He has turned a crisis into a great P.R. story. Do you think the city will work with him on problems in the future? Absolutely. A great relationship with the city is a tremendous asset. Too many times the park owner gets combative in these cases. That’s the wrong approach. If you work with the city, then they’ll work with you.
