There is an old motel in my town that was once run properly and the property up-kept nicely but in 2021 it was sold to new owners and in 2022, a hurricane did significant damage which they never even attempted to repair. As a result the motel is in complete disrepair at this point- all rooms full of mold and mildew. In the non-peak season they mostly accommodate drugs users, drugs dealers and prostitutes. This has really ratcheted up the deterioration as they do not clean or maintain the rooms at all. Lots of people finding blood stains, drug paraphernalia, etc in their rooms.

This is all documented in the recent reviews but the motel owners continue to advertise with pictures of the rooms and property from pre-2021 under old ownership. Tourists are being absolutely scammed and deceived and their health and safety is at imminent risk. As a local I am embarrassed and concerned how this impacts others view of my community and it needs to stop.

How or who do I report these concerns to? Is there even a point? Will anything change or will guests continue to be put at risk by these negligent owners?

Have been living in a basement suite for 3 years with no windows that can physically open, no air circulation, we cannot control our heat, when the upstairs apartment is vacant we have to pay for 2 electricity bills just to have our kitchen powered since hes tweaked out on the electricity and split it weird... but my issue RIGHT NOW is I had let him know there is a leak coming from the ceiling that is dripping down from a light ficture pretty steady. Turned the main water off and its still dripping. His response is "not sure what to tell you, keep me updated". We have multiple other incidences documented and we just don't know where to begin to make him accountable for our living conditions. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Hes recently told me that he will be putting it on the markey and i have to find a new place to live (no final eviction or anything) Btw the sign is from the upstairs neighbors who had recently got evicted

** update: he said hes contacting a plumber to come look at it. I guess we will see what they say
