"State Records Reveal Numerous Violations at Little Rock Splash Pad Linked to Fatal Brain-Eating Amoeba Infection"

The Arkansas Department of Health (ADH) has reported multiple code violations at the Little Rock splash pad where a child contracted a deadly brain-eating amoeba. Violations included issues with pH levels, broken chlorinator, excessive chlorine levels, and maintenance record-keeping. The ADH stated that the pool and splash pad should not have been opened with these recurring issues and ordered them to remain closed until all violations are addressed. Legal action may be taken against the country club if they open before compliance is achieved. Naegleria Fowleri, the amoeba responsible, can cause a fatal infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM). The last case in Arkansas in 2013 saw a 12-year-old girl survive after 55 days of hospitalization.

Florida Grandma's Beloved Treehouse Home Demolished After 20-Year Battle

A 72-year-old Florida grandma is being forced to tear down the treehouse she has lived in for nearly 20 years due to code violations and concerns over safety. Shawnee Chasser, who prefers living outdoors, accumulated $40,000 in fines from Miami-Dade County over the past eight years. Despite her desire to remain close to the earth, Chasser has decided to comply with the orders and begin the process of tearing down the structures. She plans to build a new dwelling that meets building codes, which will cost her an additional $30,000.

Portland Apartment Building Devastated by 4-Alarm Fire and Weather Impacts.

A four-alarm fire engulfed a 60-unit apartment building in the Goose Hollow neighborhood of Portland, causing the temporary closure of Interstate 405 and affecting nearby schools. The cause of the fire is unknown, and it is unclear how many people lived in the building. All residents were evacuated safely, but many lost everything in the blaze. Late last year, city inspectors investigated a complaint about conditions at the 1910 structure, but the owners had fixed a series of code violations.

Lawsuits Mount Against Kanye West's Donda Academy Over Alleged Unlawful Practices.

Two former teachers have filed a lawsuit against Kanye West's Donda Academy, alleging that they were unfairly fired after raising concerns about the school's health, safety, and educational code violations. The suit also claims that the school fostered a chaotic environment of bullying, racial discrimination, and pay discrepancies. The plaintiffs allege that the school lacked proper disciplinary systems, janitorial services, security precautions, and even a school nurse. The school was allegedly locked from the outside during the day, and students were not allowed to go outside, meaning recess and lunch were held indoors. The school's design preferences were also a factor, influencing everything from the color of cups and bowls to the color and brands of clothing everyone was required to wear.
