DOWDALL LAW OFFICES <br />A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION <br />ATTO R N EYS AT LAW <br />City Council of the City of Santa Ana <br />City of Santa Ana <br />September 16, 2021 <br />Page 35 <br />Even tenant lawyers have said to attorneys in this firm: "My client must be crazy!!" said <br />one. Why? "Buy a home on a month to month." Really? Anyone would choose lease to protect <br />from sudden, unexpected, rent increases. So, it is puzzling that many chose the uncertainties of <br />an unpredictable economy over stability. But some prefer adjustable mortgages over long term <br />fixed. Promoting the interests of all your citizens is your task, some may say. <br />SAMPLING OF AMBIGUOUS ASSUMPTION NOT PROVEN: <br />JUDGING FROM INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT STATISTICS, MOBILEHOME <br />INSTALLATION AND TRANSIT MISHAPS ARE SO LOW AS TO BE <br />WITHOUT STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE; "APPRECIATION," HOW IS <br />THAT QUANTIFIED IN THE ORDINANCE FOR REDUCTION OF RENT <br />ADJUSTMENTS? <br />It is also an unsubstantiated notion that homes cannot be removed or that they are <br />damaged in transit. Facts: over the last ten years (2010 - 2020), if one reviews accident statistics <br />involving mobilehomes in transit and in situ, Federal OSHA reveals just 14 incidents, <br />nationwide, and a much smaller number yet, dealing with transit of mobilehomes.13 <br />13 OSHA reported accidents involving mobdehomes (installations and other). 2010-2020: <br /># <br />Summary Nr <br />Event Date <br />Report ID <br />Fat SIC <br />Event Description <br />1 <br />131639.01 <br />12/09/2020 <br />0953210 X <br />Employee Is Killed When Crushed <br />During Mobile Home Installat <br />2 <br />132213.01 <br />12/09/2020 <br />0454716 X <br />Employee Is Killed In Fall From Ladder <br />3 <br />128153.01 <br />07/27/2020 <br />0454713 X <br />Employee Is Killed When Crushed <br />Under Mobile Home During Ins <br />4 <br />123158.01 <br />01/14/2020 <br />0419700 X <br />Employee Is Killed When Crushed <br />Under Mobile Home <br />5 <br />107200.01 <br />06/29/2018 <br />0420600 <br />Two Employees Are Injured When <br />Caught Beneath Mobile Home <br />6 <br />102951.01 <br />02/08/2018 <br />0953220 X <br />Employee Is Crushed Killed When <br />Caught Under Mobile Home Tra <br />7 <br />103671.01 <br />11/26/2017 <br />0950631 <br />Employee Troubleshooting Power <br />Outage Incurs Flash Burns <br />8 <br />86271.015 <br />06/21/2016 <br />0524700 X <br />Employee Is Pinned And Killed <br />Beneath Mobile Home That Shift <br />9 <br />202675542 <br />11/25/2013 <br />0950621 <br />1761 <br />Foreman Fractures Spine In Fall <br />From Mobile Home Roof <br />10 <br />202675625 <br />08/20/2013 <br />0950621 <br />1611 <br />Worker'S Foot Is Crushed During <br />Mobile Home Installation <br />11 <br />202692380 <br />08/01/2013 <br />0950624 <br />241 <br />Trailer Fire Causes Burns To Upper Body Of Worker <br />12 <br />200981298 <br />04/10/2013 <br />0855610 X <br />2451 <br />Employee Falls From Mobile <br />Home Wall And Is Killed <br />13 <br />200041853 <br />07/26/2011 <br />0653510 X <br />1521 <br />Employee Is Killed During Mobile <br />Home Renovation <br />14 <br />202612503 <br />11/24/2010 <br />0950612 <br />7041 <br />Employee Is Burned When Fixing <br />Propane Leak On Gas Heater <br />—35— <br />
