Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes says her office is taking early legal action against a mobile home park in Tucson that has failed to provide reliable electricity and AC during the hot summer months.
Mayes’ office sent a cease-and-desist letter to the all-ages Redwood Mobile Home Park on July 31 that required immediate action to address a lack of AC. She says the park has seen frequent shutdowns throughout this summer, causing residents to go without AC and be forced to either leave their homes or risk their safety.
"Based on consumer statements, we understand that Redwood Mobile Home Park’s electricity has experienced frequent and lengthy interruptions to its electrical services throughout the 2025 summer," the letter reads. "We also understand that these outages have occurred for a number of years and that the remedies provided are not long-lasting or sustainable."
She’s asking for proof of repairs and accommodations for residents.
Mayes says the park was given until Aug. 6 to ensure the electrical system could provide reliable electricity to all homes and proof of service by a licensed vendor. She added the complex said it had hired an electrician as of this week, but repairs have not yet been completed.
Mayes says her office is working on next steps and putting together a safety plan for residents.
