Re: Mold at Prairie Run Apartments
Mr. Walsh:
On March 23, 2007, the City of Yelm Community Development Department was
contacted by three tenants of the Prairie Run Apartments regarding mold in their
apartment units.
This contact was followed by a meeting at City Hall to verify the validity of the complaint.
Based on their presentation, I requested from them the name of a contact with the
owners of the units in order to continue the investigation. I have left numerous
messages with Karen Sexton, whom the tenants identified as the manager of the
apartments, but Ms. Sexton has not returned my calls. I was attempting to arrange for
the Thurston County Health Department to meet on -site with Ms. Sexton and I to
discuss the problem and possible remediation, if required.
Due to the lack of response from Ms. Sexton, I am requesting that you now retain the
services of an accredited firm to perform an evaluation of the premises and provide
recommendations for mold remediation. The evaluation and report should be prepared
by a certified Environmental Health Specialist with expertise in the area of mold and
mold remediation.
This notice is being sent to you as the agent for Prairie Run Associates as identified by
the Secretary of State. If you feel this should be handled by another individual in the
organization, please have that individual contact me to arrange for further
communications.
I would expect a copy of the report to be submitted to the Department no later than May
22, 2007, at which time the City will determine the appropriate steps to abate the
problem, if required. If you have any questions regarding these requirements, please
contact me at (360) 458 -8407.
