Harris County inspectors are due back at a motel next week, where a teen was recently electrocuted while swimming in a pool. Records filed with the Harris County Clerk and Texas Secretary of State show the North Villa Hotel is owned by a company called Northgate Hospitality, Incorporated. As KPRC 2 Investigates reported, 15-year-old Kahleel Marcos Reynolds was swimming in a pool that should not have been open. Harris County health inspectors would not grant a permit to open the pool after finding numerous violations including an exposed lighting fixture in July 2018. The company re-applied in December of that year but was again denied a permit to open the pool.
