Windows and Doors: Missing windows, which are covered with plywood which may allow individuals and rodents, pests, and other nuisance varmints to enter. Sanitary Conditions: Mold on nearly every surface in the building. The mold varied in color with evidence of decomposition. There were several hard surfaces of the structure that were soft to the touch due to the mold and extreme moisture level in the structure. There was also a heavy presence of a variety of mosquitos, some of which were identified as breeds that can carry disease. There were several plastic trash cans full of stagnant water, which appeared to be harboring mosquito larva. Pigeons were observed entering the building through the broken skylights, and bird droppings were heavily found on the main floor. Fire Code: The 2—21/2 inch connections for the sprinkler system have been removed which does not allow for the system to function correctly. There are combustible materials that are improperly being stored. There are obstructed means of egress. The fire pump controller is in the off position and has not been serviced in ten years. The power to the alarm box is not operational, and has not been serviced annually as required by code. Fire house cabinets are missing hoses. Summary Reports: TEXAS4A-1;e4ikr ,e3/csPSkies Cloiden,Crrortcr itie5: CODE COMPLIANCE DIVISION 401 Broad St. Case Summary Report March 10, 2026 Officer Qualifications and Experience I am a licensed Code Enforcement Officer with approximately five years of experience, holding certification through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). I have completed formal training through the TEEX Code Enforcement Officer Course, including specialized instruction in identifying hazardous and nuisance structures, as well as an additional six-hour course focused on hazardous structure identification and legislative updates. In my role with the City of Wichita Falls Code Compliance Division, I have served in a supervisory capacity, overseeing hazardous structure cases and ensuring compliance with applicable codes and ordinances. I have presented approximately 37 cases before the City Council, acting as the Building Commission, and have successfully obtained demolition orders based on documented evidence and professional findings. Property Background • 1982—Subject commercial structure constructed. • January 2019—A Notice of Major Repair was issued to the property owner, Larry Williams, citing deterioration of the exterior rear walls from the top floor to the bottom floor. • May 2024—Present—Structure has remained non-operational during my tenure with the Code Compliance Office. Observed Exterior Conditions(2025-2026) • November 2025—March 2026(Four separate observations) During multiple exterior observations,the structure exhibited clear and ongoing signs of deterioration, including: o Damaged and deteriorating façade and rear exterior walls o Missing windows covered with plywood o Openings that potentially allow entry of unauthorized persons, rodents, pests, and other nuisance animals Based on my training and experience,these conditions raise significant concerns regarding the structural integrity of the building, its ability to withstand adverse weather, and its capacity to protect public health and safety. Interior and Exterior Inspections(Search Warrants Executed) • November 20,2025 First full interior and exterior inspection conducted pursuant to an Administrative Search Warrant. Findings included: o Extensive mold growth on nearly all interior surfaces,varying in color and showing signs of decomposition o Softened structural materials due to excessive moisture o Strong mold and mildew odor detectable even while wearing an N95 respirator o Active roof and structural leaks allowing rainwater intrusion o Significant mosquito presence, including species identified as potential disease carriers o Standing water in containers with visible mosquito larvae o Bird intrusion through broken skylights,with heavy accumulation of droppings o Daylight visible through compromised exterior walls with water-damaged particle board These conditions confirmed the structure as a health hazard and a danger to human life and safety. • December 19,2025 Follow-up inspection conducted. Findings were substantially similar to the November 20, 2025 inspection, with no observable remediation or improvement. • February 6, 2026 Additional inspection conducted while equipped with a Tyvek suit, N95 respirator, and gloves. Findings again remained consistent with prior inspections, with no visible corrective action taken. • March 6, 2026 Exterior observation conducted. No changes or improvements were noted compared to prior inspections. No reports or evidence of remediation efforts (mold removal, mosquito abatement, bird exclusion, or structural repair) had been received. • March 9, 2026 Most recent interior and exterior inspection conducted pursuant to a search warrant while equipped with a Tyvek suit, N95 respirator, and gloves. Findings included: o Continued and extensive mold presence o Strong odor persisting despite respiratory protection o Ongoing roof and structural leaks following recent rainfall o No evidence of repair, remediation, or maintenance efforts Summary of Findings Based on repeated inspections and observations from November 2025 through March 2026, the condition of the structure has remained unchanged and may have worsened over time.The property exhibits: • Extensive mold-like contamination • Persistent moisture intrusion and structural degradation • Active pest and vector infestations • Open access points compromising security and safety In my professional opinion, supported by training and experience,the structure is: • Unsafe • Unsanitary • Unfit for human habitation • A fire and health hazard • Dangerous to human life and public safety Furthermore,the lack of any observed or reported remediation efforts indicates ongoing noncompliance with applicable city ordinances.

Photos and vi deo wer e rnptu red by the code enfor cemel It officers. Within the building there were several environmental health concerns. There was an extl reme amount of wha t appeared to be mold on nearly every surface throughout the building. The I evell of mold inorn lationvaried from mild splotchy disco loration to visihle girowth from the walls with heavy col or change and eviident dlecomposlti on. 111 addit ion,there were many other unique mol d-lik e substances present. In the oild bar area and the ball rooms there were several a reas that had anima!feces(likely,dog ba.se,don the size}that were rnmp,letely engulfed in grey fozz about 1/2 inclh tall!. 011 the ceiling of the fourt h-floor west corridor there were slime covered water droplets formi ng stal actite-like formatrions.. In several of the rooms a nd hallways throughout the faci lity there were sprawling fanlike arrays.of white growth mnsistent with the pllasmodia I form of slime mol ds(slime molds are not true fungus but instead bellong to the K ingdom Prot ista and are more close ly related to amoebas th,m mold dlesp ite the name).. The p:revalence of the molld is not surprising due to the large number of leaks throughout the building. Wa ter intmsion is a real problem and whil ewe were Id not visualize many leaks and drip;ping th is visit there was still a large amount of water present in the building in large trash bins that appear to have been s,et in areas to capture s,ome of the water leaks followil lg a rain event. Mo:.quitoes were breeding in tlhe.se containers..Ilhis v isit I did not personally see ally a,dult mosauit.o.es, however the temperature and time of year explains their absence. In previous visits the mosquitoes were most prevalent in the first floor lobby area, although they were a prnblem throughout. Ilhe facility is like a IliiVing terrarium with vegetation and an abundance of pigeons;thereby providlil lgt hefood s,ources needed to support adult mosquitoes,(mosquitoes normally co:nsume plant nectar but fema le mosquitoes must take a blood meal to p:rodu,c:e eggs)_Mosquito larva were pres,ent ill a few water containers throughout the building. Whi le most Aedes mosquitoes like the Ae. Albopictus that were so preval ent on our first visit they generally overwinter in a state of di apause (which means they overwinter as via ble eggs waiting fo:r warmer weather to ha tch anidlrestart their life cycle)Cufex&uin s,hriat,,.s genera Ily enter a state of tempe rature induced quiescence (meaning their life cycle sl ows down significantliy, but they may contiinue to foed, ma!Jure,and evie11rnntinue to reproduce). Given this knowledge it is likely that most oftlhe larva present.during this.visit were CuJex. Mosquitoes are a concern .drue to their a billity to vector disease. Aede.s species are considered to be disease vecto:rs for the dhikungunya,Zika,al'Id Del lgu:e Vlirns{co:nsideredl emerging dis.eas.es of concern in Wichita Co)and Eastern Equine Encephalitis(considered endemic in thi s area though Wichita Co is at the very edge ofits range).

There are large number of p,igeons living in the building. There were multipl e broken skylights allowing the birds ,ea:sy access in a lid out at the i r I eis.ure. In several areas sma 1 I1 holes in the ceiling had what appeared to be nesting matenai sti clkiing out of it. feathers were found throughout the es.ta b.lishment.. l i he feathers w,ere most concentrrated in tlhe lobby area where the I ive pigeons were observed fil\fling around. Sevseral dead p,igeons were ob:s,erved. The pigeons hawe roosted .so long i 1 1 the bui lding that their poop is very prrevalent especially in the lobby area/pool area because they ro o:st above the re. Pigeon poop can s.preaidl PsiUa cosi:s allso knmvn as.parrot fever" which is.a11 infectious disease caused by the bacterium Chfamydia p.sitwci. The bird odor wa.s l ioticeabile through the N•95 mask,though not as strong on this vislit as the 11-20-25 and 2.6-26 visits. This is likely ,due to the different el 1 vironmental rnnditJio ns between the b.110 visits. Evidence of other pests were also observed. The bathrooms on tihe firstflioor had many dead flies(various species)and American mekroaches ,(commonly referred to as++ liocally). Evidence of rodents wa:s allso seen in the form of,dropp ngs,and gnaw marks. Most of the observed droppings appear ed to be larger th an that of a mouse(most likely rats,squirrels,or both). The rodent droppings were most conoentJrated in areas where bedding was kept, like the !aundry room,and in areas where there wa s food. Rodents and rodent ,droppings ca l ispread diseases.suclh a:s!.ep,tospiro:sis and Hanta Vims.
