Magistrate orders abatement for unsecured pool access at La Mancha Avenue property

The special magistrate signed an abatement order for a La Mancha Avenue property after code enforcement described an opening in the fence that permitted access to an unsecured pool. The condition was described as a health‑and‑safety hazard; the magistrate said the risk of drowning justified abatement authority.

The village entered exhibits documenting the condition and the magistrate noted that the property was occupied. The order directs abatement to secure the pool and cited health and safety as the authority for the action. No specific fine amount was listed in the abatement order recorded on the hearing record; staff was instructed to follow up to confirm abatement and any necessary repairs.

The magistrate concluded that securing the pool was urgent and signed the abatement order during the hearing.
