Investigation Report OldAntonito High School  Date ofreport 1/30/24  On 1/29/24Iwas requested to complete a site investigation of the old Antonito High School by Conejos County Public Health Director Denise Jiron. She requested my agency do as site investigation of620 Pine StinA Antonito Colorado. She. stated we have a structure in Antonito that has people residing in it without running water/sewer. Conejos County SO Deputy' 's went in to. serve warrants andfound. raw sewage on thej floor, overfilled toilets, etc. The, Structure, the old high. school in Antonito, is privately owned. Iti is not owned by the school district. There is concern about the conditions. The CountyAttorney wants to know. Is this a high risk or hazardous to one' 's health living and Imet with Director Denise Jiron, Annarae Smith (Conejos Public Health), Commissioner Carlos Garcia and Deputy SGTS Servando Moreno on Monday January 29th at approximately allowed entry and were able to tour the rooms and make observations. Denise distracted 1pm. Garcia (Site renter/Occupant Super), by separating him, allowing the group toj freely make Wayne observations without Aisimction/lnteruption. It must be known that Wayne was notified the team inj person on the previous Friday 1/26/24. That day we all met at the. site and attempted to by into the property but could not enter that day due to. schedule conflicts, sO we agreed to return gain the entry following Monday 1/29/24 to complete thes site investigation walkthrough. I known because this gave Wayne a weekend to prepare and get the site cleaned only in and perform the investigation. In most normal circumstances this would up have before been an unannounced visit, and the daily state ofthe property would have been undisturbed and presented The team and I did a room by room detailed site inspection. There were visible signs that a quick clean-up had been performed not only hours but even minutes before our arrival. In some of the old Locker-rooms the smell ofcleaning chemicals saturated the air but did little to mask the smell ofsewage and long-term presence offresh facies that remained. The in-use restrooms lingering within the locker-rooms Lacked running water that had previously been provided via an unknown water source. This was obvious due to the observation of several, Secondary, plastic containers around the locker room or various sizes that still had water in them to be used at next restroom peppered opportunity. This is purely. speculation. Even with this provided water. Every toilet we encountered remained unflushed and contained remnants ofa previous bowel movement. Also, it should be noted in these locker rooms the floors were damp andslick as ifthey. had been. urgently mopped just before our arrival. All around these in use and unused locker-rooms were also other containers of unknown liquids of various shades of browns and. some even darker color that smelled ofsewage and even had human feces remaining in themf from previous use. I observed torn pieces of material that were on thej floor areas around the plastic containers that I would used to wipe the users' lower extremities after the bowel movement due to the lack of speculate toilet paper. As we progressed. the locker rooms that were. not visibly in use were in an abandoned. state. We observed feces in areas on thej floors and stains from dried urine. Also, more. Containers unknown Liquids that smelled of urine and torn up bits ofpaper and cloth. The smells were of Throughout the facility No: signs ofany available handwashing or running water could be found. Most of the classrooms were littered with large amounts of harborage from hording everything from furniture, clothing, trash and appliances were observed.

The person or persons eating them would become sick ifnot violently ill and cause possible severe. Foodborne Illness. As we continued the Investigation, Iobserved signs of Rodent infestation in nearly every room we investigated, and signs or drug use were also) found in some We also observed electrical extension cords Spider webbed across most hallways and room walls and ceilings throughout the entire school. Speculation: the result of some type ofe electricity pirating operation. Inspector Smith was with me throughout the entire walkthrough investigation and has provided. Pictures to corroborate my investigation.
