Description
(Photo just shows partial view of front of tiny house) Christian and Miriam Berg have been renting out this building illegally, as it has no functioning toilet (I was told to use the porta potty down the street or put plastic bags inside the non working toilet), additionally the unit has no exterior locks. I asked for locks and was told none of the neighbors have locks and it’s Bainbridge so they didn’t feel it was necessary. After a few months of living there and suspecting my landlord had been coming over and snooping around whilst I was gone, I decided to get a camera. I did catch my landlord entering illegally without permission and promptly told him that was unacceptable and moved out as soon as possible. Upon further research I see the building is not even permitted and the city doesn’t seem to be aware it’s even there. The Berg’s have been renting this unit out illegally for years.

The owner was contacted and no one is currently inhabiting this space. The owner has been informed to not allow habitation. As this is not a life safety issue and due to staff transitions, Code Compliance staff will perform further investigation at a later date to determine permit(s) required for the structure.
