Reporting from East County
LC Wright sees plenty of things on a daily basis that you don’t want to see or smell, or touch or breathe.
The new Building and Fire Safety Inspector for El Cajon is trying to make sure you don’t ever encounter the things he’s spotted in the city in his first year of work:
Roaches scurrying inside a bedroom with broken windows.
Rat poop on stove burners in filthy kitchens.
Broken sewer lines running from a bathroom through a living room, leaving a brown trail behind.
Wright has also seen his share of dangerous hazards in local apartments, including burnt-out electrical outlets that would shock you if you tried to plug something in, rusty nails sticking out from boarded-up windows and three-inch layers of dust on broken ceiling fans.
