CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME OKAY? WE CAN.
I HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS TO READ INTO THE RECORD, AND WE WILL START WITH OUR EMERGENCY DEMOLITIONS FIRST STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 9 0 3 SAN PEDRO AVENUE IN COUNCIL.
DISTRICT ONE WAS DEMOLISHED AS AN EMERGENCY DUE TO A FIRE THAT OCCURRED ON JUNE 9TH, 2021.
UM, THE, UH, DEMOLITION ACTUALLY OCCURRED ON JUNE 21ST, 2021.
UM, I BELIEVE WE DO HAVE, UH, THE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS OF THIS, UH, STRUCTURE PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 75.
NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED BY THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
NEXT PROPERTY IS ONE 30 MERIDA STREET IN DISTRICT FIVE COUNCIL, DISTRICT FIVE.
THIS PROPERTY WAS DEMOLISHED AS AN EMERGENCY, UM, DUE TO EXTENSIVE WORK CONDUCTED ON THE STRUCTURE WITHOUT PERMITS.
THIS LED TO A VERY DANGEROUS, UH, POTENTIAL COLLAPSE OF THIS STRUCTURE.
UM, THE, UH, THE SUDDEN ACT WAS DOCUMENTED ON JUNE THE 16TH.
THE DEMOLITION DATE OCCURRED ON JUNE 28TH, BOTH OF 2021.
PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 7 5, NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED BY THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
AND AGAIN, THERE ARE PHOTOS BEFORE AND AFTER.
I'M NOT SEEING ANYTHING ON MY SCREEN.
AM I NOT CLICKING ON SOMETHING? I I HAVE A BLANK SCREEN.
NO, THE PHOTOS ARE SHOWING UP.
JUDY'S RUNNING A, UH, A POWERPOINT THROUGH.
IS EVERYBODY ELSE? IS ANYBODY ELSE SEEING ANYTHING? YEAH, I CAN SEE IT.
I MORE THAN 35 DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICES.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR EVERYTHING FROM ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT, PURPOSE, WHAT CLIENTS AND IT, AND THE SKILLED TRADES FOR MORE.
ARE Y'ALL, ARE Y'ALL TRYING TO TELL US WE NEED JOBS NOW?
WE HAVE SOMEBODY ON HOLD? UH, YES, SIR.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAY BE YOUR SCREEN THAT MAY HAVE FROZEN UP.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANNA, THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING.
AM I NOT CLICKING ON SOMETHING? UH, 'CAUSE I NOTICED IT WAS A NEW KIND OF LOGIN.
UH, IT WAS, UH, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AND MAYBE SOMETHING'S NOT QUITE DOWNLOADED OR I'M NOT CLICKING ON SOMETHING.
IT, IT'S, I, I BARELY CAN SEE MINE.
SO THAT, THAT'S PROBABLY THE, UH, ALL TOGETHER.
DID Y'ALL CLICK ON THE, UM, THE VIDEO PORTION DOWN AT THE BOTTOM? YEAH.
WELL, THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S TO ALLOW YOUR VIDEO, THAT'S TO ALLOW YOUR VIDEO OR YOUR FACE TO BE SEEN BASICALLY ON VIDEO IS WHAT THAT'SS FOR.
SO YEAH, JUDY'S SHARING THE SCREEN, UH, MR. THIA.
SO IT SHOULD BE VISUAL OR VISIBLE.
UM, THAT'S ACTUALLY GONNA BE WHAT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE ON, UH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN IS WHAT SHOULD BE SHOWN FOR YOU.
SHALL I CONTINUE? UM, MR. TAPIA, DO YOU WANNA TRY LOGGING BACK IN AND SURE.
DO WE HAVE ENOUGH TO CONTINUE ON WITHOUT A, UH, WITH A QUORUM, JUDY? YES, WE DO.
WE'RE GONNA GET, I HAVE A FEW MORE TO READ THROUGH THE RECORD, SIR, SO WE'LL KEEP, UH, WE'LL KEEP GOING.
YOU, YOU, UH, MR. RAMIREZ? YES, SIR.
[00:10:02]
ON ONE 30, UH, MERIDA HAD WE, UH, OR HAD ASKED FOR IT TO BE DEMOLISHED AND THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING, OR WHAT? NO, SIR.UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT WAS, UH, JUST WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT.
I THINK THEY STARTED DOING A, UH, A REMODEL AND IT WAS DONE COMPLETELY INCORRECTLY.
THEY WERE STARTED REMOVING, UH, STRUCTURAL, STRUCTURAL BEAMS OFF OF THAT, OFF OF THAT BUILDING.
SO THE NEXT ONE TO READ, UM, MOVING FORWARD IS 25 0 2 BABCOCK ROAD BUILDING NUMBER TWO, LOCATED IN COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN.
THE STRUCTURE WAS DEMOLISHED AS AN EMERGENCY, UH, DUE TO AN EXTENSIVE FIRE, WHICH OCCURRED JUNE 28TH.
UH, THE, THE DEMOLITION OCCURRED ON JULY 1ST, 2021.
PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 75, NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED BY THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
AND THE NEXT PROPERTY, UH, EIGHT 19 PIEDMONT LOCATED IN COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO.
THIS ONE WAS, UM, DEMOLISHED AS AN EMERGENCY.
UH, THE SUDDEN ACT OF THIS PROPERTY WAS OBSERVED ON JUNE 30TH, 2021.
UM, THE DEMOLITION OCCURRED ON JULY 8TH, 2021.
PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 75, NO FURTHER ACTION IS NEEDED BY THE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
THIS PROPERTY WAS ALSO UNDER RENOVATION, AND WE BELIEVE THE OWNERS WE'RE NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING.
WE BELIEVE THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO DO A, A DEMOLITION OF THEIR OWN, BUT THIS LED TO, AGAIN, AN UNSAFE UNSTABLE STRUCTURE.
SO WHEN OUR, OUR, OUR INVESTIGATORS OBSERVED IT AND MADE THE RECOMMENDATION, IT WAS AGREED UPON THAT THIS, UH, DID ESCALATE TO AN EMERGENCY DEMOLITION AS WELL.
SO THIS ONE WAS, UM, DEMOLISHED FULLY ON JULY THE EIGHTH OF 2021.
AND THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY EMERGENCY DEMOLITION, UH, READING OF THE RECORD.
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE OTHER STRUCTURES.
AND THEN I HAVE ONE ITEM RIGHT NOW THAT WE WILL BE PULLING FROM TODAY'S AGENDA.
IT IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SIX, LISTED AS A DP 9 0 2 REE STREET, AN ACCESSORY IN COUNCIL DISTRICT ONE.
WE DO HAVE THIS, UM, THAT WE FOUND AS A NEW OWNER ON, UH, ON RECORD.
SO WE WILL BE PULLING THIS FOR A FUTURE DATE.
WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH OUR NOTIFICATION PROCESS AND MAKE SURE WE'VE NOTIFIED EVERYBODY THAT HAS A RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROPERTY.
SO WE WILL BE BRINGING THIS ONE BACK AT A FUTURE TIME.
AND THAT DOES CONCLUDE MY REPORT AT THIS TIME.
WE CAN MOVE ON TO OUR SCHEDULED CASES NOW.
[4. 21-4725 (CD-5) 1017 Torreon St]
OUR FIRST CASE IS 1 0 1 7 TORREON STREET.MR, ARE YOU ON THE LINE? I AM.
AND OFFICER MCCALL, ARE YOU ON THE LINE? YES, I AM.
WE'LL GET STARTED IN JUST A, MR. ZUNIGA, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME RIGHT NOW.
I WANTED TO, UM, CORRECT MYSELF FROM, SORRY, ON THE ORIGINAL REPORT I HAD READ FOR ONE 30 MEIDA.
THERE WAS A DEMOLITION ORDER ON THE RECORD.
I WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON THAT.
UM, I JUST HAD THE, I JUST FOUND MY, UH, MY NOTES ON IT, AND WE DID HAVE A, WE DID HAVE A, UH, A DEMOLITION ORDER ON THAT PROPERTY.
[00:15:15]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME 10 17 TOON IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD.

WE DO BELIEVE THE OWNER IS DECEASED.
UM, HOWEVER, UH, WE DO HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL THAT'S, UM, CALLING IN TODAY.
UM, ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY, THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON FEBRUARY 17TH, 2021.
THE HISTORIC DESTINATION ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS, UH, ORIGINAL INSPECTION OF 10 17.

ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON JANUARY 14TH, 2021, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED OR HAS NOT RETURNED, UH, BEEN RETURNED, EXCUSE ME.
MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO MEET WITH JENNIFER GOMEZ.
THE TENANT, UH, WAS MADE ON JULY 8TH, 2021.
AN EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE WAS RECEIVED FROM JENNIFER GOMEZ.
SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO PREVENT, UH, HERE AT V S B ON JULY 1ST, 2021.
THE NOTICE FOR THE B S B HEARING WAS POSTED AT 10 17
THE NOTICE FOR THE V S B HEARING RECEIPT HAS SIGNED, UH, ON OCTOBER 7TH, 2020, AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED TO OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE STRUCTURE TO PRESENT BEFORE B S D.
AND ON JULY 13TH, 2021, THAT WAS TUESDAY, JENNIFER S THE, UH, TENANT PROVIDED ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE TO OBTAIN, UH, UPDATED PHOTOS AND CONDUCT A UPDATED INTERIOR INSPECTION.
AS OF TODAY, WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SCOPE OF WORK FOR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDITORS OR ENGINEERS REPORTS.
THERE ARE NO CURRENT PER, UH, PERMITS ON FILE.
UM, 10 17 TORREON IS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF DAYS OF ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
THERE IS ELECTRIC THAT IS CURRENT.
AND AS WE, UH, DISCUSSED EARLIER, PD WILL BE S A P D OFFICER WILL BE SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY.
ALSO, WE GO AHEAD AND START OUR PHOTO PRESENTATIONS.
THE PHOTO THAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS THE DAY OF THE DART INSPECTION.
UM, THAT'S THE FRONT ELEVATION.
AND YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PHOTO THAT THE PORCH IS SHOWING SIGNS OF DETERIORATION, UNLEVEL STARTING TO PATCH AWAY FROM THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE RIGHT THERE ON THE LEFT, THE WINDOWS ARE, UH, CAUSING UNSAFE, UH, EGRESS.
THEY'RE GOT BROAD IRON BLOCKING THE WINDOWS, UH, CASE AN EMERGENCY, NO ONE CAN GET OUT.
AND THIS IS COMMON THROUGH ALL THE, THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THROUGHOUT THE, ALL THE WINDOWS, THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF EITHER BOARDED OR THEY HAVE SOME TYPE OF, UH, BROAD, UH, ROD THAT'S BLOCKING THE RES.
THIS IS THE EAST ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE WINDOWS ARE BOARDED AND BLOCKED.
THE REAR PORTION, UH, OF THE ELEVATION, YOU SEE THE DECKING THAT'S DISPOSED WITHOUT ANY WEATHER PROTECTION.
AND OBVIOUSLY PARTICLE WOOD, UM, BECOMES VERY DETERIORATED, BECOMES DETERIORATED VERY QUICKLY.
IF IT'S NOT, UH, IF IT DOESN'T HAVE WEATHER PROTECTION, YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHERE THE EASE ARE SHOWING DETERIORATION HERE TO THE REAR.
ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE WINDOWS WITH, UH, IMPROPER EGRESS,
[00:20:02]
SORRY, THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION.YOU CAN SEE THE, THE PARTICLE WOOD THERE EXPOSED WITHOUT ANY WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS WAS A ROOM ADDITION THAT WAS, UM, THAT WAS MADE TO THE STRUCTURE.
UM, I THINK THE INTENT, BUT THE TENANT WAS SAYING WAS THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE SOME TYPE OF UTILITY ROOM.
UM, THE ROOF IS DETERIORATED IN THIS AREA.
UH, AND AS YOU'LL SEE FURTHER IN THE PRESENTATION, UM, THIS WALL IS NOT PROVIDING SUFFICIENT, UH, PROTECTION FROM THE NATURAL ELEMENT.
AND YOU'LL SEE IN FURTHER IN THE PRESENTATION THAT NATURAL LIGHT IS COMING IN TO THE INTERIOR.
UH, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE, THE, THE ROOF SYSTEM IS, IS, HAS SOME SAGGING THERE TO THE MIDDLE AND THEN THERE TO THE END.
SO IT'S KIND OF HAS A WAVE EFFECT.
UM, SO THE, THE, THE STRUCTURE, OR EXCUSE ME, THE ROOF STRUCTURE, UM, HAS THAT SAGGING.
I DO BELIEVE SOME OF THAT SAGGING IS DUE TO THE FOUNDATION, UH, SHIFT.
THIS IS BACK TO THE FRONT, UH, ELEVATION.
THIS IS RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE PORCH AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, SEAL PLATE THERE, RESTING ON GRADE, UH, THAT'S EXTREME, UH, DETERIORATION AND ROTTING.
SO THE, THE, UH, PORCH LANDING IS VERY SPONGY, VERY SOFT.
UM, IT'S JUST DUE TO DETERIORATION OF THE, OF THE WOOD MEMBERS.
YOU SEE THE POST THERE ON THE LEFT ALSO HAS DETERIORATION AND ROTTING.
THIS IS THE, THE REAR ROOM THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, THAT THEY HAD MADE SOME TYPE OF A REAR ROOM ADDITION TO THE ROOF.
UM, AS I MENTIONED ON THE EXTERIOR PHOTO THAT THE ROOF COVER WAS THE CORE CONDITION.
AND THAT IS SHOWING WATER DAMAGE, UH, TO THAT CORE ROOF CONDITION.
BACK TO THE, UH, FRONT PORCH THERE.
THIS IS THE SIDE, UH, SIDE OF THE PORCH.
UM, CAN SEE THAT THE PORCH LANDING IS KIND OF LEANING BACK TOWARDS THE BACK.
THIS IS GOING FROM THE KITCHEN AREA TO ONE OF THE BEDROOMS. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FLOOR DROPS RIGHT BEFORE YOU GO INTO THAT, UH, BEDROOM.
UM, SO THE FOUNDATION IS CROWNING IN THE MIDDLE AND DROPPING DOWN TO THE, TO THE, TO THE SIDE ELEVATIONS.
AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT GOING INTO THAT BEDROOM WHERE IT'S KIND OF VALID RIGHT THERE.
BEFORE YOU ENTER THE FOUNDATION IS ON LEVEL.
SO THIS IS BACK IN THE KITCHEN AREA.
GOING BACK TO THAT UTILITY ROOM IN THE BACK WHERE THAT REFRIGERATOR IS TO THE LEFT, THAT'S WHERE THE BATHROOM IS.
UM, AGAIN, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE, THE, THE FLOOR DROPPING DOWN TO THE LEFT, THAT'S GOING TOWARDS THE WEST ELEVATION.
UM, SHOWING SIGNS THAT IT IS UNLEVEL.
YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE DAY OF THE DART, UM, THERE WAS SOME ANIMAL FECES ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, IT, IT DID HAVE THE SMELL OF AMMONIA.
AND YOU SEE THE LITTLE, HOW, HOW WARM THE FLOOR IS.
THE DECKING IS, UH, SOFT AND SPONGY.
AND THAT WAS BACK ON THE DAY OF THE DARK BACK, THAT TO THAT UTILITY ROOM IN THE REAR.
YOU CAN SEE THE SHEET ROCK OR THE DRYWALL THERE, UH, BECOMING ATTACHED HAS WATER DAMAGE.
UM, THE, THE DRYWALL THERE IS JUST VERY SOFT AND SPONGY.
UM, THE TENANT, UH, JENNIFER GOMEZ HAD MENTIONED THAT ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE WATER SHUT OFF IS THAT THEY HAVE A LEAK.
AND IF THEY TURN THE WATER BACK ON, THE WATER WOULD START LEAKING INTO, UH, THROUGH THE WALLS IN THE BATHROOM, THE BATHROOM OF BUTTS, THE KITCHEN AREA.
THAT'S WHY THEY SHUT OFF THE WATER.
UM, I DID COMMUNICATE WITH SAWS, AND THEY HAVE A LOCK ON THAT, ON THE WATER METER.
THIS IS BACK IN THAT BACK ROOM AGAIN.
SO YOU KIND OF SEE ANOTHER DOOR BACK THERE.
UM, IT DOES, I DO BELIEVE IT'S TWO ROOM ADDITIONS WHERE THE REFRIGERATOR IS.
THIS IS ANOTHER ROOM ADDITION.
THERE'S SOME ARX WIRE THAT WAS INSTALLED.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE CEILING, YOU CAN SEE THE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF DRYWALL THERE.
UM, SO IT LOOKS LIKE EITHER THEY TRY TO PATCH UP WORK.
I BELIEVE IT'S DUE TO THE FOUR ROOF CONDITIONS.
UM, SO EITHER PATCH OF WORK OR IT IS PART OF THE ROOM ADDICTION.
YOU CAN SEE THE, THE MISSING PLATE ON THE ELECTRICAL THERE.
UM, YOU SEE THE WALL LACKS, UH, EXCUSE ME, IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY DRYWALL THERE.
IT'S BROKEN, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME
[00:25:01]
OF THE WOOD THERE.IT IS, UH, SHOWING SIGNS OF DETERIORATION ON THE INTERIOR.
SO THIS, THIS REAL MIX HERE IS LIVE.
UM, THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT, I THINK, I BELIEVE I HAVE IT DOWN AS A 19, 19 38.
UM, SO THIS TYPE OFS WAS NOT INSTALLED.
UH, WHEN THEY BUILT THOSE HOMES, IT WAS NEWER WITHOUT ANY, UM, PERMITS.
AND AGAIN, THE FLOORING AND THE UNLEVEL FOUNDATION.
SO WHEN I WENT OUT, WHEN WE DID THIS INSPECTION ON, UH, TUESDAY, UM, THEY DID HAVE A, AN EXTENSION CORD RUNNING TO THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.
UM, SHE HAS STATED THAT THE OUTLET IN ONE OF THE BEDROOMS IS NOT WORKING, AND THEY HAVE AN AC UNIT, UM, TO KEEP.
AND SINCE THAT OUTLET'S NOT WORKING, THEY RAN A EXTENSION CORD NEXT DOOR.
UM, WE ARE GONNA REQUEST A NOTICE TO VACATE, UM, IN, IN OUR, IN OUR RECOMMENDATION, SORRY.
AND BACK TO THE FRONT ELEVATION, THE LEFT NEXT SLIDE.
TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 10 SIMPSON
AND THE HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE PROVIDED AT SUCH CONDITIONS AS DEFECTS OF THE DILAPIDATION OF STANDARD OR, OR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 10 17.
IF WE CAN STAFF GET THE, THE FIRST PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? YES.
OFFICER MCCALL, YOU CAN PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR NAME AND YOUR BUSINESS ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS OFFICER DAVID MCCALL WITH SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, CENTRAL SAFE UNIT, AND I WORK OUT OF OUR SUBSTATION AT 5 1 5 SOUTH RIO.
YOU CAN BEGIN WITH YOUR TESTIMONY.
I LOOKED AT THE, UH, CALL HISTORY AT THAT LOCATION.
UM, SINCE WE DID THE DART WARRANT BACK ON OCTOBER 27TH, 2020, THERE HAVE BEEN THREE CALLS THAT WERE ANIMAL RELATED ABOUT A DOG, UH, BEING TIED UP IN THE FRONT YARD AND BARKING.
AND THERE WAS ONE ANONYMOUS CALLER WHO REPORTED FOOT TRAFFIC GOING TO AND FROM THE HOUSE THAT THEY SUSPECTED WAS, UH, SUSPECT NARCOTICS ACTIVITY.
BUT, UH, IT COULD NOT BE, UH, SUBSTANTIATED AT THAT TIME.
UH, THOSE WERE THE ONLY CALLS, UH, SINCE THE DARK WARRANT.
THE, UM, THE ONE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE DID HAVE, I WASN'T ABLE TO CONFIRM THE LOCATION OF WHERE IT WAS FOUND, BUT WHEN WE DID THE DARK WARRANT, THERE WAS A TRAILER ON THE PROPERTY, UH, THAT WAS IN SUBSTANDARD LIVING CONDITIONS ALSO.
AND THEY LATER FOUND THAT TRAILER, UM, JUST LEFT ON A STREET, UH, NEARBY.
AND, UH, IT HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY, UH, BY CITY TOWING.
DID YOU HAVE ANY OTHER, UH, COMMENTS TO ADD TO YOUR STATEMENT, OFFICER MCCALL? NO, UH, THAT IS ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW ABOUT THE PROPERTY.
I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A, UM, UH, PROPERTY THAT HAS DRAWN ATTENTION BY THE SAFE OFFICERS, UH, THAT WORK THAT AREA.
SO, UH, UM, IT'S GOTTEN SOME ATTENTION, UH, EVEN SINCE THE, UH, DART WARRANT WAS COMPLETED.
BUT, UH, THAT'S ABOUT ALL I KNOW ABOUT THE PROPERTY.
UH, CAN WE HAVE THE, THE SECOND WITNESS END UP TO SPEAK, PLEASE? THIS IS, UH, OFFICER RORA, OFFICER RAM GURA.
LEMME JUST ADD A COUPLE OF DETAILS, UH, ABOUT THAT DART INSPECTION.
THE DAY OF THE DARK, THERE WAS A TRAILER THAT WAS OCCUPIED ON THE LOT NEXT TO IT.
IT DOES BELONG TO THE SAME PROPERTY OWNER.
UM, THEY WERE RUNNING ELECTRICITY TO THAT MOBILE HOME, AND THAT'S THE MOBILE HOME THAT, UM, OFFICER IS TALKING
[00:30:01]
ABOUT IT, IT WAS LATER REMOVED.UM, WE DID, WE, THEY, THEY REMOVED THE, THE EXTENSION CORDS.
WE DID ABATE THE PROPERTY AT THAT TIME.
UM, THE OCCUPANT ALSO WANT TO ADD, UM, YOU KNOW, MY NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING, UM, FOR RELOCATION ASSISTANCE.
UH, SHE HAS APPLIED FOR IT AND IT'S, SHE'S BEING CONSIDERED, UH, RIGHT NOW.
SO JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT TO THIS.
MR. GRA, IF YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
UH, MY NAME IS, UH, GOOD MORNING.
YEAH, IT'S, UH, JOHN PAUL BORAN.
UH, MY OFFICE ADDRESS IS 30 10 HILLCREST DRIVE, 7 8 2 0 1.
AND, UM, I'M ACTUALLY, EVEN THOUGH I AM AN ATTORNEY, I AM APPEARING BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE SADLY, THE LIEN HOLDER ON THIS PROPERTY.
UH, AND SO DO YOU NEED ME TO CONTINUE OR, UH, SURE.
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU'D, YOU'D LIKE US TO KNOW.
SO IT'S A COUPLE OF THINGS FROM, FROM LISTENING HERE.
UH, THERE WAS A STATEMENT, UH, THAT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS DECEASED.
HE IS NOT, HE, UH, MOVED TO BACK TO THE VALLEY WHERE HE'S ORIGINALLY FROM, UH, SOME TIME AGO.
AND, UM, FOR HEALTH REASONS AND SOME OTHER MATTERS.
BUT HE'S, HE'S STILL ALIVE AND I'M TRYING TO CONTACT HIM.
AND, UM, I'M EXPECTING A CALL FROM HIM SOON.
THERE WAS ALSO JUST, JUST NOW THE, UM, CO COMPLIANCE OFFICER MENTIONED THAT, THAT THERE WAS A TRAILER THAT WAS OWNED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER ON THE PROPERTY, THAT, THAT IS INCORRECT.
UH, THERE IS NO TRAILER THAT WE, THAT HE OWNS, OR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN ON THAT PROPERTY, UM, BY HIS AUTHORITY OR MINE FOR THAT MATTER.
UM, THIS ALLEGED TENANT IS, UH, NOT A TENANT.
UH, AND I BELIEVE HER FAMILY LIVES ACROSS THE STREET OR SOMEWHERE THEREABOUTS.
UH, AND SHE WAS GONNA BE A TENANT, BUT SHE'S ESSENTIALLY, UH, MOVED IN THERE DURING THIS TIME.
NOW, THE, THE REASON, THE, THE BIG REASON OTHER THAN OF COURSE, APPEARING IN REGARDS TO THIS PROPERTY, WHICH WE WOULD ASK NOT AT THIS TIME, IS, UM, I HAD JUST BECOME AWARE OF THIS SITUATION, UH, WHEN I RECEIVED, UH, THE, UH, LETTER OR THE NOTICE LETTER FOR THIS HEARING.
UH, AND THAT WAS RECEIVED IN MY OFFICE, UH, ON OR ABOUT JULY 3RD.
THE LETTER IS DATED JUNE 21ST, AND IT'S POSTMARKED 10 DAYS LATER ON JULY 1ST.
AND THEN I GOT IT SUBSEQUENTLY A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER.
SO THAT WAS ABOUT 13 DAYS AFTER THAT CORRESPONDENCE WAS PREPARED THAT I RECEIVED IT.
UH, IT IS IN ALL FAIRNESS, INSUFFICIENT TIME FOR US TO TRY TO PUT TOGETHER, UH, A PLAN TO TRY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION HERE.
UH, AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE, UH, RESPECTFULLY REQUEST FROM THE BOARD IS 45 DAYS OF A RESET TO ALLOW A SUFFICIENT TIME TO DO AN INSPECTION AND DETERMINE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND PRESENT AN APPROPRIATE PLAN TO THE BOARD FOR US TO BE ABLE TO AVOID A DEMOLITION OF THIS PROPERTY.
I THINK THE PROPERTY, EVEN THOUGH YES, IT HAS SOME REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE DONE, OBVIOUSLY ON THE ROOF AND ON THE FLOOR FROM, FROM THE SLIDES THAT I SAW IN THE PRESENTATION, UM, I THINK STRUCTURALLY THE PROPERTY IS PROBABLY SOUND AND COULD BE, UM, COULD BE, UH, REPAIRED.
UH, AND THEREFORE, UH, I WAS ASKING FOR SOME ADDITIONAL TIME TO DO THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE TO GET SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND PROVIDE US THE ESTIMATES, UH, AND THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT MAY BE REQUIRED TO BRING THIS PROPERTY BACK UP TO CODE.
UH, AND, YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA MOVE TO REMOVE THOSE PEOPLE FROM THERE AS WELL.
UM, AND ESSENTIALLY I WAS ASKING THAT THE BOARD, I HAD ASKED, UM, THE CITY TO ALLOW US SOME TIME, UH, TO, TO DO THAT.
AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY, THAT THEY COULD NOT, AND FOR ME TO GO AHEAD AND PRESENT THIS TO THE BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT I AM DOING NOW.
SO, RESPECTFULLY, I WOULD ASK FOR SOME TIME IN ORDER TO GET THIS DONE, UH, AND, AND TRY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION AT THIS PROPERTY.
MR.
UM, I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, AND THEN WE'LL SEE IF OTHER BOARD MEMBERS DO AS WELL.
UH, SO JUST TO CLARIFY, YOU ARE THE LIEN HOLDER ON THE PROPERTY, CORRECT?
[00:35:01]
YES, I AM, SIR.HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THE LIEN HOLDER? UH, BEEN THE LIEN HOLDER? I WOULD'VE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT MY RECORDS.
SO WHEN YOU, WERE YOU AWARE OF THE PROPERTY CONDITION WHEN YOU MADE THE LOAN OR SOMETIME IN THE LAST 10 YEARS? OR, OR HAVE YOU NOT REALLY SEEN IT SINCE YOU MADE THAT LOAN? NO, NO.
I, WHEN I, WHEN I MADE THE LOAN, UH, TO MR. GASTON RIVAS, WHO IS SOMEBODY THAT I KNOW, AND HE WAS A REALTOR AT THE TIME, UM, THE PROPERTY HAD BEEN FIXED UP AND IT WAS IN TIP TOP SHAPE.
AND, UH, THE PLAN AT THE TIME, THERE WAS A, A RENTER AT THE TIME, AND THE PLAN WAS TO EVENTUALLY PLACE IT ON THE MARKET.
NOW, THE, THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT AREA ARE, ARE, ARE NOT PEOPLE THAT CAN GO TO BANK OF AMERICA OR WELLS FARGO AND GET A LOAN.
SO, SO ESSENTIALLY YOU'RE LOOKING AT SOMEBODY THAT YOU WOULD'VE TO CARRY A NOTE ON.
AND, UM, UH, THERE WAS A COUPLE OF OPPORTUNITIES TO DO THAT, UH, BUT THEY FELL THROUGH, UH, AND, AND WE HAD SOME RENTERS THERE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LEAVE THOSE PROPERTIES ALONE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, BECAUSE THAT INVITES, UH, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE GOING IN THERE AND TAGGING AND SO FORTH.
UH, THAT, THAT DID OCCUR AT ONE TIME WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE A TENANT, AND I WENT IN THERE AND SECURED THE PROPERTY, UH, AND COMMENCED DOING REPAIRS.
BUT YES, UH, AT THE TIME THAT I, THAT GAVE THIS LOAN, THE PROPERTY WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
AND THEN IS THE, UH, IS THE OWNER CURRENT ON THE NOTE RIGHT NOW, OR ARE THEY IN DEFAULT? UH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE IN DEFAULT.
SO DOES THAT GIVE YOU, DO YOUR, YOUR NOTE AND DEED OF TRUST GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO GO IN AND, AND REPAIR THE PROPERTY AND EVICT THE TENANT AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY? UH, IT, IF, IF IT DOESN'T, UH, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, UH, HAS GIVEN ME AUTHORITY TO DO SO.
UM, DO ANY OF THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THIS, THIS WITNESS? THE OFFICER? YES, I DO.
UM, I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN, SIR? MY NAME IS, UH, JOHN PAUL BORAN.
MR. BORAN, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SAYING THAT THIS PROPERTY COULD BE, IS IN RELATIVELY GOOD SHAPE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT IN THE VERY BEGINNING? THIS PROPERTY IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE.
THE FOUNDATION IS REALLY MESSED UP.
IT'S BOWED ALMOST, BECAUSE YOU COULD TELL THAT FROM THE FLOORS.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU, AND, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD OWN A PROPERTY FOR 10 YEARS OF BEING AN INVESTOR IN A PROPERTY FOR 10 YEARS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CONDITION IT'S IN.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.
AND, UM, THIS PROPERTY IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE AT ALL.
THE FOUNDATION, THE, THE, THE TIMBERS, THE WOOD TIMBERS THAT ARE HOLDING THE, UH, HOLDING THE, UM, THE PROPERTY UP THE FLOOR SIDE, AND PLUS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY WATER.
SO, BECAUSE THE WATER, UH, I THINK IN THE TESTIMONY, WHEN THE WATER WAS TURNED ON, IT WAS SHOOTING THROUGH THE WALL.
SO HOW CAN YOU SAY IT'S IN GOOD SHAPE? I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
WELL, I, I DIDN'T, MADAM I DIDN'T SAY THAT IT WAS IN GOOD SHAPE.
I, I SAID THAT IT WAS STRUCTURALLY SOUND.
I KNOW THAT THE ROOF HAS TO BE REPLACED.
I KNOW THAT THE FLOOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FROM WHAT I'M SEEING HERE.
AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A, THERE'S THE ISSUE WITH THE PLUMBING, UH, BUT I'M SAYING THAT THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, STRUCTURE ITSELF APPEARS TO BE STILL SOUND.
I, I KNEW YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE, UH, THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE SHAPE OF PROPERTY THAT IS NOT IN SOUND CONDITION.
YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH A LOT WITH PROPERTIES AND WE KNOW SOUND PROPERTIES WHEN WE SEE 'EM, AND THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
WELL, I I, I, I, I RESPECT YOUR OPINION, MA'AM.
I, AND, UM, I, I THINK THAT, THAT THERE MAY BE SOME REPAIR.
UH, MR DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UH, YES.
UH, IF, UH, FOR, FOR INSTANCE, THE THING, THE THING IS THIS, THAT, UH, WE HAVE, WE HAVE, WE CAN GIVE YOU SOME TIME, IF WE CAN GIVE YOU SOME TIME.
THE THING IS THIS, THAT THAT HOUSE HAS TO BE VACATED, PERIOD.
IT HAS TO BE VACATED, IT HAS TO BE SECURED.
AND, UH, BY SECURE, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, BURNING IT UP.
AND, UH, THAT WOULD BE THE THING THAT I, AND THEN YOU COULD COME WITH US AND, UH, WHEN WE, UH, THE DATE OF THE NEXT, UH, MEETING, IF WE WOULD GIVE IT TO YOU, UH,
[00:40:01]
THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME WITH THE SCOPE OF WORK, WHICH, UH, I THINK WHEN YOU GOT THE NOTICE, UH, YOU GOT THAT.AND, AND IN ORDER TO BRING US THE INFORMATION THAT THAT WAS ASKED UP, YOU THERE.
BUT MY, MY, UH, MAIN CONCERN HERE IS THAT IF YOU LEAVE THE, THE, THE RENTERS THAT YOU HAVE, OR WHATEVER'S THERE, IT AIN'T GONNA HELP.
WE MIGHT, WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST, YOU KNOW, GO FORWARD AND NOT GIVE YOU ANY TIME.
YOU COULD GIVE YOU THE TIME THAT WE, WHATEVER, 30 DAYS WORTH.
SO THE THING IS THIS, IT HAS TO BE VACATED IMMEDIATELY.
AND YOU, YOU KNOW, HERE YOU GO.
I MEAN, SO IT'D BE EASY FOR YOU TO DO THAT.
SO WITH WHATEVER MATTER, THEY, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY GOTTA STAY THERE 40 DAYS BEFORE THEY GO OUT OR ANY ANYWAY, YOU SEE THERE'S A LOT OF AVENUES OF APPROACH TO THIS, AND SOME ARE GOOD AND SOME ARE BAD, BUT THE THING IS, HAS TO BE VACATED.
AND, AND MY OWN OPINION, THE HOUSE HAS TO BE VACATED NOW.
JUST IF I MAY, IF I MAY RESPOND, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE, THERE, UH, AS YOU WELL KNOW, THERE IS A, A PROCESS OF EVICTION.
I MEAN, AND THIS PERSON DOES NOT HAVE A LEASE, DOESN'T HAVE ANY REAL AUTHORITY TO, TO BE THERE.
UH, BUT I CAN'T JUST GO IN AND THROW THEM OUT.
I MEAN, UH, I, I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE EVICTION PROCESS, AND THAT'S, UH, TAKES TWO WEEKS, THREE WEEKS MAYBE, DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY I CAN GET A HEARING.
AND THEN, UH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO GET A, A, A RID OF, OF POSSESSION AND GET THEM OUT.
SO IT, IT JUST, A LOT OF THAT IS OUT MY HANDS.
I CAN CERTAINLY START THE PROCESS, BUT IT, IT'S NOT IMMEDIATE.
WELL, SIR, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING, THAT YOU HAVE TO GET 'EM NOW, YOU KNOW, THE HOUSE, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS BOUGHT TO AND THAT CONDITION, ET CETERA.
MAYBE IT COULD, YOU KNOW, BE REMODELED.
WHO KNOWS? YOU KNOW, I, I'M NOT AN ENGINEER TO TELL YOU THAT, BUT THE, THE THING IS THIS, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE COULD BE THREE MONTHS FROM NOW, WE STILL CAN BE WITH THE RENTERS IN THERE, AND YOU BEING LEGAL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY, BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO TO GET ONE.
SO THE THING IS, IS THAT TO ME, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IS FOR IT TO BE ED.
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE WAY, THAT'S MY OPINION WITHIN THE CODE, NOT MINE.
YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, YOU KNOW, IN MODEST CITY IN, IN MY POSITION HERE, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S MY OPINION THROUGH THE CODE COMPLIANCE THAT IT, IT HAS TO BE VAC VACATED.
DO ANY OF THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE A QUESTION EITHER FOR MR. BORAN OR OFFICER MCCALL? UH, NO.
UH, AT THIS TIME, THE CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
MR. CHAIR, THIS IS DWAYNE NELSON.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10 17 TORON STREET IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE OF BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME, AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT SECTIONS 1 5 6 SUBSECTIONS, UH, TO THE PROPERTY AS 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
AND THAT THE PROPERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND SHOULD BE VACATED IMMEDIATELY AND DEMO IN 30 DAYS.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A 30 DAY DEMOLITION ORDER FROM MR. NELSON UNDER SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND, A SECOND FOR MS. BROWN, DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION BY THE BOARD ORDER SHOULD INCLUDE VACATE IMMEDIATELY? OKAY.
SO THE ORDER HAS BEEN AMENDED TO, UH, INCLUDE AN IMMEDIATE VACATE.
WITH NO DISCUSSION, UH, STAFF, CAN YOU CALL FOR A VOTE, PLEASE? MR. NELSON? AYE.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT ORDERS THEY CAN'T BE ENFORCED AND SECURED AGAINST ENTRY UNTIL ALL REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.
IT SAYS, DOES CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER? I DO.
IS THAT A WINDOW MISSING ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE WHERE THE PLYWOOD SHEET IS, MA'AM? YEAH, WHERE THE PLYWOOD IS AND IT'S SOMETHING ELSE.
I I, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A GREEN AND THE OTHER PICTURE, IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A GREEN CLOTH UP THERE.
CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT OTHER PICTURE? OH, THAT, THERE, THERE, OH, IT'S ON THE INSIDE.
YEAH, THE WHOLE, THE INSIDE THE WINDOW IS MISSING THOUGH, ISN'T IT? NO, MA'AM.
IT, IT'S A GREEN CLOTH INSIDE THE WINDOW.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER? ALL RIGHT.
HEARING NONE, AND WE HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO I WOULD AT THIS POINT ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
SO LET ME, LET ME JUST ASK A QUESTION BEFORE WE GET TO THE SPEAKING PART HERE.
UH, IF THERE'S NO ONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THE PROPERTY, IF THERE'S NO ONE AVAILABLE TO, UM, YOU COULDN'T FIND THE OWNER OR THE OWNER DIDN'T RESPOND.
SO WHO ARE WE SENDING THE REPAIR ORDER TO? COULD, UH, LEGAL, WHERE ARE YOU? LEGAL.
LEGAL? ARE YOU STILL HERE? OKAY.
I GUESS I, I HAVE TO REFER THIS TO, UM, THE, THE, ACTUALLY THE, THE ORDER WILL GO TO THE OWNER REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY HAVE LOCATED THE OWNER PER SE.
BUT WHO'S GONNA, WHO'S GONNA REPAIR THE PROPERTY? UH, IT WILL NOT BE REPAIRED.
IT'LL DOWN AND WILL BE VACATED BASED ON AN ORDER, UH, TO COME, I'M ASSUMING.
UH, SO IT'LL SET AS A VACANT PROPERTY.
I APOLOGIZE, I'M HAVING SHUT DOWN.
I'M HAVING CONNECTIVITY ISSUES.
UM, OKAY, SO THE QUESTION IS, WHO ARE YOU GIVING THE, UM, I'M HAVING THE REPAIR, REPAIR ORDER QUESTION, RIGHT.
USUALLY REPAIRS ON S A P M C CAN GO EITHER TO
[00:50:01]
THE TENANT OR THE PROPERTY OWNER.UM, THERE MIGHT BE SOME, EVEN THOUGH THEY CANNOT FIND THE ACTUAL OWNER, THERE CAN BE SOME, UH, SOME RELATIVES OR DESCENDANTS THAT ARE, ARE GETTING ACCESS OR HAVE ACCESS TO THAT PROPERTY.
UM, THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE DON'T NECESSARILY DO A RESERVE, UM, FINES ON S A P M C ISSUES, UM, EXCEPT FOR EXTREME CASES.
SO YOU ARE, IT RUNS WITH THE LAND, WHICH IS WHY THAT'S ANOTHER REASON THAT THEY RUN WITH THE LAND.
SO EVEN THOUGH, UH, THAT OWNER OR SOMEBODY ISN'T COMPLETELY RESPONDING, UH, DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT GOES JUST TO NO ONE WHOEVER'S RUNNING OR TAKING CONTROL OF THAT PROPERTY.
AND IF NOT, THEN WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS THE CITY, DEPENDING ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS, UH, THE CITY MIGHT ABATE THE PROPERTY AND PUT A LIEN ON IT.
IT JUST DEPENDS ON THIS ONE IN REGARDS TO GENERAL AND PLUMBING FIXTURES.
UM, USUALLY WHAT THE CITY'S GONNA ASK IS IT IS, UM, VACATED AND NOBODY'S THERE IF SOMEBODY ENDS UP LIVING THERE, THAT THAT WATER OR THAT, UH, UH, THAT PLUMBING FIXTURE WOULD HAVE TO BE FIXED PRIOR TO ANYBODY MOVING INTO THAT PROPERTY OR, OR OCCUPYING IT.
I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE MIGHT BE SOME MORE ISSUES WITH THIS PROPERTY THAT WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED TO ADDRESS IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
YOU KNOW, AND I'M, I'M BY NO MEANS AM I, BY NO MEANS AM I SAYING THAT BOARD, BUT WHAT I AM, WHAT I WOULD HOPE THAT WE DO IS FOCUS ON WHAT THE, UH, B S EXCUSE ME, WHAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BROUGHT TODAY.
UM, I'M SURE, AND WHAT THE BOARD CAN ASK AND INQUIRE AS TO WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING IN REGARDS TO THIS PROPERTY.
YOU CAN ASK DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OF THAT.
UH, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT WE JUST, WHILE I, I, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I, I, I WOULD URGE US TO JUST FOCUS ON WHAT IS BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TODAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS, UH, CASE? UH, YES.
SO JUST TO CLARIFY, UH, WE'RE IN VIOLATION OF 5 0 4 0.1 GENERAL? YES, SIR.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A MOTION? I, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION HERE.
I FIND THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, UH, SIX 11 NORTHWEST 24TH STREET TO BE IN VIOLATION OF, UH, S A P E M C, UM, A CODE MAINTENANCE CODE, UH, SECTION, LET ME FIND THE SECTION HERE.
SECTION 5 0 1 0.4, GENERAL FOR THE PLUMBING, AND, UH, ORDER A 30 DAY REPAIR ORDER.
OKAY, AND THE ORDER TO VACATE.
WAS THERE ANYBODY LIVING THERE? MM-HMM.
IF THERE IS SOMEONE LIVING THERE, OF COURSE, IMMEDIATE VACATE AND, UM, IF NOT, YOU KNOW, A 30 DAY REPAIR ORDER.
IF I MAY, I DO APOLOGIZE, SUPERVISOR, THE IS 5 0 4 0.1.
UH, SO WE HAVE A REPAIR ORDER UNDER SECTION 5 0 4 0.1 AND FORCING THE ORDER TO VACATE.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND NELSON SECONDS? I'LL SECOND IT.
I THINK MR. NELSON GOT IN THERE FIRST, SO WE GOT A SECOND FOR MR. NELSON.

MORE OF THE, THE BRICKS RIGHT THERE.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY, UM, SOME, ON SOME PARTS OF IT THEY'RE DOING, YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE DOING FOUNDATION
[01:10:01]
WORK BECAUSE THEY'RE USING THE BRICKS TO LIFT IT, TO PUT PROBABLY POSSIBLY NEW POSTS RIGHT HERE.THE BRICKS ARE RIGHT THERE ARE ACTUALLY, UH, TILTED DUE TO THE WEIGHT.
AND ACTUALLY THE BEAM RIGHT THERE IS ACTUALLY KIND OF SLANTED.
THIS IS THE SHEET ROCK, THE CEILING SHEET ROCK.
YOU CAN SEE IT'S STARTING TO, UH, DETACH FROM THE, THE CEILING, THE CEILING JOIST.
THIS IS MORE OF THE PICTURE OF THE, OF THE, WHAT THEY'RE USING TO LIFT THE, THE STRUCTURE TO TRY TO PICK THE FOUNDATION.
MORE PICTURES OF THE, JUST USING WHATEVER THEY CAN.
THAT'S, THAT'S ACTUALLY RIGHT THERE AT THE BOTTOM IS A PIECE OF THE PLYWOOD AND, UH, TWO BRICKS TO LIFT THE, THE, THE WOOD MEMBER UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR JOIST.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE BROKEN FLOOR JOIST.
SO THIS IS THE ONE OF THE ROOMS THAT ACTUALLY HAS THE SILK FLOOR THAT I WAS ABLE TO GO THROUGH.
UM, I, I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE, WITH, WITH A LEVEL BECAUSE IT, TO SHOW HOW UNEVEN, IT'S
IT HAS A, UH, PRETTY SIGNIFICANT LIEN.

THIS IS THE, THE ROOM GOING TOWARDS MORE TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE.
YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH TRASH, UM, IS ACCUMULATING RIGHT THERE FROM ALL THE VAGRANTS BREAKING INTO THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS ANOTHER ROOM WHERE THEY GUT IT.
THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THAT, WHERE THAT FIRST ROOM WAS.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM, UH, WHERE ACTUALLY THEY'RE ACTUALLY DOING FOUNDATION WORK.
AS YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, YOU CAN SEE THE, THE BRICK FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
YOU CAN SEE THE POSTS, YOU CAN SEE THE BROKEN FLOOR JOISTS.
ACTUALLY RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE, THERE'S NO FLOOR JOISTS RIGHT THERE BECAUSE IT DID BREAK OFF.
SO RIGHT HERE AS, UH, SS A P D WAS, UH, SEARCHING THE HOUSE, ONE OF THE OFFICERS ACTUALLY STEPPED ON THIS, AND IT ACTUALLY WENT DOWN.
IT ALMOST WENT, IT STARTED GOING DOWN WHEN HE PUT HIS FOOT ON IT, JUST FROM PUTTING A LITTLE WEIGHT ON IT.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT BEAM IS ACTUALLY HITTING ON A, UH, ON THE BRICK AND IT'S ACTUALLY LEANING.
THIS IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER PICTURE TOWARDS THE BACK AND THE BACK OF THE ROOM.
UM, FOR SAFE, FOR SAFETY MEASURES.
I DIDN'T, I TRIED TO, I TRIED TO CATCH AS MUCH OF THAT ROOM AS POSSIBLE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT ROOM IS GUTTED BACK THERE TOO.
THE, THE, SO FLOOR IS, HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF AND YOU CAN SEE THE, THE, THE RENOVATIONS.
THEY STARTED PULLING OFF THE SHEET ROCK, UH, TRYING TO DO RIGHT.
THERE IS A NEW BOX RIGHT THERE TO POSSIBLY DOING, TRYING TO DO ELECTRICAL WORK.
UM, BACK WHEN I FIRST STARTED THIS CASE BACK IN 2019, THERE ACTUALLY WAS A STOVE THERE AND EVERYTHING.
THIS IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL WOOD FRAME STRUCTURE.
THE ROOF IS A GABLE ROOF SYSTEM WITH ASPHALT SH COVERING THAT HAVE DETERIORATED AND BELONG TO THE DECKING.
EXTERIOR WALLS ARE STUCCO SIDING, WHICH HAVE CRACKS DUE TO THE FOUNDATION ISSUES.
THE FOUNDATION IS POSTED BEAM THAT HAS DETERIORATED AND LEANING, CAUSING STRUCTURE TO KNEE.
THE INTERIOR FLOOR IS UNEVEN AND MOST OF THE SUBFLOOR HAS BEEN REMOVED, EXPOSING THE FLOOR JOISTS TO BE EXPOSED AND, AND BROKEN AND SITTING ON GRAVE.
A SHEET ROCK IS CRACKED AND BROKEN.
THERE ARE VIGOROUS GOING IN AND OUT OF THE STRUCTURE CAUSING EXCESS AMOUNT OF TRACTION OR DEBRIS ACCUMULATING INSIDE OF STRUCTURE.
TO RECAP, A STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1514 STONEWALL IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 5 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS THEREAFTER, THE DRIVE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 15 14TH STONEWALL.
AND WE HAVE NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
SO DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? ALL RIGHT.
HEARING NONE, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
UM, YES, MR. TAPIA, I MOVE AT THE PROPERTY AT 1 5 1 4 STONE
[01:15:01]

MR. TAPER, ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT? I AM, UH, IN ADDITION, UM, DO WE HAVE ANY KIND OF PROCEDURE FOR PUTTING IN A STOP, UH, WORK ORDER OR SOME KIND OF, UH, TAPING OFF OF THE ENTRANCE, FOR EXAMPLE, TO, TO AVOID, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, ANY MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD OR LIKE THE POLICE OFFICER ENTERING INTO THE PREMISES AND, AND, UH, GETTING HURT? WE DO.
WE HAVE A SECURED THE STRUCTURE SEVERAL TIMES.
UM, IT JUST BECOMES UNSECURED 'CAUSE THE VAGRANT'S BREAKING IN.
UM, AS FAR AS, UH, WE DO PUT A STOP WORK ORDER AND WE DO PUT A LOCK ON THE PERMIT SO THAT, SO THE OWNER TALKS WITH US OR, UH, IF THIS IS GONNA BE A DEMO, WE DO PUT, WE DO PUT A LOCK ON THE PERMIT.
UM, YEAH, BUT AS FAR AS THAT, WE'LL JUST MAKE SURE TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND MAKE SURE IT'S SECURED RIGHT TO THE DEMO.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A 30 DAY DEMOLITION ORDER WITH AN ORDER TO VACATE.
UM, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NO.

HERE'S A BETTER PICTURE QUALITY.
THIS IS GONNA BE ON THE LEFT ELEVATION.
ALL THE WOOD MEMBERS ARE ROTTED.
YOU'LL SEE THE BEAM ON THE LEFT SIDE GOING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE CARPORT.
IT, IT IS STARTING TO COLLAPSE, GOING DOWNWARDS DUE TO THE, UH, WEATHERING OF THE ELEMENTS AS WELL AS THE DECKING BEING COMPROMISED.
UH, THIS IS GONNA BE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CARPORT THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE IS SHOWING THAT THE DECKING AND THE ROOF SYSTEM IS NO LONGER THERE, BUT CAUSING A HOLE, UM, ON TOP OF THAT OR PORTION, WHICH IS STARTING TO DAMAGE THE WOOD MEMBERS.

THIS IS GONNA BE THE REAR ELEVATION WITH THE OVERHANG DETERIORATING.
SIDING IS STARTING TO DETACH ALONG THAT CORNER, RIGHT CORNER IN THIS PHOTO HERE.
THIS IS GONNA BE WHERE THE CARPORT'S CONNECTED.
THERE'S A SMALL LITTLE SHED ROOM IN THAT AREA.
YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS A GAP WHERE THE BEAM IS STARTING TO RISE UP DUE TO IT FALLING IN THE CENTER OF THAT CARPORT GOING INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
THIS BEAM HERE IS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE BACK REAR CORNER WITH THE RAPTORS DISCONNECTED AS WELL DUE TO WATER DAMAGE AND ROTTING AND DETERIORATING FROM THE SAME SPOT I JUST TURNED AROUND.

PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION FOR STANDARD OR UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL SURVIVE HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION FOR 61 47 PRIDE VALLEY DRIVE.
AND WE HAVE, UH, TWO PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IF WE'RE GETTING, UH, JUDY HERE FROM THE FIRST ONE.
YES, MR. ERNEST CRET, IF YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
UH, MY NAME IS, UH, ERNEST KTH, K R E T H.
UM, AND MY, UH, ADDRESS IS, UM, 1226 RIO LINDA HERE IN SAN.
AND YOU CAN BEGIN WITH YOUR TESTIMONY, PLEASE.
YOU CAN BEGIN WITH YOUR TESTIMONY.
WELL, UM, I, UM, THINK MR. FRAZEY, WHO IS CAPITAL REALTY, HAS A LOT MORE TO OFFER AT THIS TIME THAN I DO.
I, UM, DID SEND IN AN EMAIL YESTERDAY.
UM, AND I, I GUESS I COULD READ THAT THE, I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU, HOW YOU, UH, DEAL WITH THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
IS THAT, UM, UH, EMAIL AVAILABLE? IT'S JUST A SHORT EMAIL.
HELLO? I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE A COPY OF THAT EMAIL, SO IF YOU, IF YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND, AND READ THAT OR JUST, UM, TELL US THE SAME THING, THAT WOULD BE FINE.
UM, WELL, UH, YEAH, I HAVE IT HERE.
UM, I WROTE THAT, UH, I HAVE OWNED THIS PROPERTY FOR OVER 35 YEARS.
UH, SOME VERY DESTRUCTIVE RENTERS LEFT IT IN HORRIBLE CONDITION TIME.
IT HAS BEEN VANDALIZED AND THE, UH, AN ITEMS STOLEN THE VAST AREA OF THIS HOME NEEDS REPAIR AND REMODELING.
BUT IT HAS A FOUNDATION AND THE FRAMING IS IN GOOD CONDITION.
UH, IN MY OPINION, THE CARPORT IS THE ONLY AREA THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED SECTION OF CONCERN.
UH, THE ROOF IS ONLY ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD, AND EXCEPT FOR THE CORNER NEAR THE CARPORT, UH, WHERE THERE IS SOME DAMAGE, UH, IT'S IN GOOD SHAPE.
UM, I HAD PLACED ADDITIONAL SUP I HAVE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT BEAMS IN THE TWO AREAS IN THE COURT WHERE THERE WERE SOME SIGNS OF WEAKENING.
UM, IN, IN MY OPINION, UH, I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS, UH, THIS, UH, HOME WARRANTS DESTRUCTION, UH, AND IT, IT CAN BE RESTORED.
UM, YOU KNOW, RATHER THAN PUTTING ALL THIS STUFF IN THE, IN THE LANDFILLS, UM, MAYBE SIX YEARS OLD, RETIRED A YEAR IN SAN ANTONIO IF THEY'RE SERVING OVER IN MILITARY SERVICE, BOTH ENLISTED AND AS AN OFFICER.
[01:30:01]
UM, I WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ALAMO MENTAL HEALTH FOR OVER 12 YEARS HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.I DEPRECIATE, UM, THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BOARD IN THIS MATTER.
UM, AS I MENTIONED, UM, I HAVE, UM, ACTUALLY HAVE INTERVIEWED, UH, SINCE JUNE, UH, WHEN I SPOKE WITH, UH, OR MARTINEZ GOTTEN, UM, I'VE INTERVIEWED A NUMBER OF INTERESTED BUYERS SINCE THEN.
AND, UM, I WAS JUST KIND OF HOLDING OFF UNTIL I FOUND SOMEONE I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH, UM, AND THAT WAS WILLING TO GIVE ME WHAT I CONSIDER A PRICE.
UM, WHEN I'D SPOKEN WITH OFFICER MARTINEZ LAST MONTH, UH, HE INDICATED THAT THE BOARD WOULD BE MEETING, UH, IN JULY.
I THOUGHT HE HAD SAID THE 27TH, BUT HE SAID NO, BUT THAT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE DATED, AND I THINK HE SAID IT MIGHT'VE, HE MIGHT'VE SAID THE 22ND.
UM, BUT THEN I, UM, GOT THE NOTICE JUST, UH, LAST WEEK THAT THERE WERE GONNA BE MEETING ON THE 15TH.
SO I HAD TO KIND OF HURRY AROUND AND GET SOME STUFF FINALIZED.
AND I PICKED MR. UM, MR. FOZY BECAUSE I, I FELT, UH, GOOD WITH HIM.
AND, UM, AND SO WE SIGNED A CONTRACT.
UM, OFFICER MARTINEZ HAD TOLD ME IF I COULD GET, UH, PROOF OF SALE, AND I HAD INDICATED TO HIM THAT I WAS INTERESTED IN SELLING THE PROPERTY IF I WOULD GET, UM, IF I WOULD GET PROOF OF SALE OR HAVE WORK PERMITS PULLED, UM, THAT HE COULD, THAT THE PROCESS BEFORE THE BOARD WOULD, UH, COULD BE HALTED.
SO, UM, I, THAT'S MY SITUATION.
I DID, UH, FIND, WHEN I DID FIND OUT IT WAS GONNA BE ON THE 15TH, UM, I DID GO CALL MR. FOZY AND WE SAT DOWN SATURDAY MORNING AND, UM, SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH HIM TO BUY THE PROPERTY.
AND AGAIN, I FEEL LIKE THIS, AGAIN, MOST OF THE DAMAGE THAT IS THERE, THERE IS VANDALISM INSIDE, BUT THE INSIDE STRUCTURE IS BASICALLY GOOD, EXCEPT THAT AREA THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE, TO THE CARPORT.
UM, I HAD A A ONE OF THOSE TAR PEBBLED ROOFS ON THERE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO.
UM, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULDN'T COVER IT BECAUSE THEY SAID SOMETHING THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THAT I DON'T KNOW.
SO ANYWAY, I HAD TO FOR THAT, BUT THEY DIDN'T, UM, DO THE CARPORT WHEN THEY DID THE ROOF, WHICH I WAS, I THOUGHT THEY HAD INCLUDED THAT IN THIS JOB.
SO THAT, UH, HEAVY CAR ROOF, I THINK HAS FINALLY GIVEN AWAY, UH, OVER THE CARPORT AND CREATED A SENSE OF DAMAGE THAT I SHOULD HAVE ADDRESSED, UM, ALPAC, BUT, UH, NEGLIGENT IN THAT.
UH, UH, ANYWAY, THAT'S, UH, MY STORY, I GUESS.
AND, UH, I, UH, HOPE THE, UH, UM, THE BOARD WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE SITUATION, UM, AND BE ABLE TO GIVE US SOME EXTRA TIME OR CONSIDER THE FACT THAT I DO HAVE A BUYER FOR THIS PROPERTY.
UM, JUDY, CAN WE GET THE SECOND, UH, SPEAKER SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? MR. VINCENT
ADDRESS IS 6 3 2 2 SOVEREIGN DRIVE, SUITE 1 68.
YOU CAN BEGIN WITH YOUR TESTIMONY.
UH, AS, UH, ERNEST HAS MENTIONED, WE DID SIGN A PURCHASE CONTRACT ON THE 10TH, WHICH IS LAST SATURDAY.
UM, WE HAVE A CLOSING DATE SET FOR AUGUST 2ND.
UH, WE HAVE BUDGETED ABOUT $50,000 TO BRING THIS HOUSE BACK UP TO 2021 STANDARDS.
UH, SO EVERYTHING WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
WE'RE GONNA PULL PERMITS IN EVERY SINGLE THING FOR ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, AC YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING WILL BE BROUGHT BACK UP TO PAR TO CODE OF 2021.
THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY MORE CONCERNS AFTER WE CLOSE ON IT.
WE INTEND TO START THE RENOVATIONS RIGHT AWAY.
AND SO I NOTICED ON THE, ON THE PURCHASE CONTRACT, UM, IT SAYS F C R INVESTMENTS, L L C, THAT IS THAT YOU YES, YES.
JEFFCO REALTY INVESTMENTS IS AT D B A.
AND THEN, AND OR ASSIGN, YOU KNOW, I, I'M A REAL ESTATE BROKER.
A REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY, AND TO ME THAT INDICATES
[01:35:01]
THAT YOU MAY HAVE INTENTION TO ASSIGN THIS CONTRACT AND WHOLESALE IT.ARE YOU INTENDING TO WHOLESALE THE PROPERTY OR CLOSE IT AND REPAIR IT YOURSELF? WE PLAN CLOSING IT IN REPAIRS.
THAT'S JUST IF SOMETIMES WE DECIDE TO HOLD THE PROPERTY, SO WE ASSIGN IT TO A DIFFERENT L L C WHERE, UH, WHERE I HOLD PROPERTIES.
BUT YOU ARE THE END BUYER IN THIS, YOU'RE NOT PLANNING TO WHOLESALE THIS TO SOME OTHER PERSON? CORRECT.
DID THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE, UH, ANY QUESTIONS? OH, I'M SORRY.
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, WE'VE DONE MULTIPLE PROJECTS LIKE THIS.
THIS IS, YOU KNOW, $50,000 IN REPAIRS IS NOT TOO BIG OF A DEAL.
AND, YOU KNOW, I HAVE EVERY SINGLE TRADE AT MY DISPOSAL TO TAKE CARE OF EVERY SINGLE THING.
SO IT'S NOT GONNA BE A, NOT GONNA BE A PROBLEM.
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO RENOVATE THE PROPERTY? UH, PROBABLY ABOUT TWO MONTHS.
ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR EITHER SPEAKER? THIS IS DWAYNE NELSON WHO PREPARED THE, UH, ESTIMATE OF REPAIR MYSELF.
AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS, UH, WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM TO DO THE REPAIR? MY, MY BANK ACCOUNT AND I HAVE LINES OF CREDIT.
UH, AND COULD YOU GIVE US SOME INFORMATION OR SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE, UH, BANK, AT LEAST IN TERMS OF, UH, I, I GUESS I'M JUST LOOKING FOR, DO YOU REALLY HAVE THE MONEY? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AND THIS, THIS IS ROBERT TAPIA.
AND SIR, DO YOU HAVE, UH, UH, BUILDING CONTRACTORS READY TO ROLL? YES, ABSOLUTELY.
I ACTUALLY HAVE SIX PROJECTS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'RE GONNA ADD.
THE PROPERTY'S GONNA BE, YOU SAY, UH, CLOSE AUGUST THE SECOND? YES, AUGUST THE SECOND? CORRECT.
AND IT WILL BE WITH A TITLE COMPANY OR AN ATTORNEY? NO, TITLE.
SO, SO THIS IS A, A, UH, A TRUE DATE, RIGHT? THE 2ND OF AUGUST, YOU'RE SAYING? THAT'S CORRECT, YEAH.
ON THE CONTRACT WE HAVE PUT 21 DAYS AFTER EXECUTION, WHICH WOULD START MONDAY.
SO THAT PUTS IT ON AUGUST 2ND, AND I THINK WE MAY BE ABLE TO CLOSE A VOTE EARLIER THAN THAT.
HEARING NONE AT THIS TIME, THE CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
MR. CHAIR, THIS IS DWAYNE NELSON.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 61 47 BRIGHT AVENUE, UH, IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
UH, IT, HOWEVER, IS FEASIBLE OF BEING REPAIRED.
UH, IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTIONS 1 5 6, SUBSECTIONS 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
UH, BUT THE PROPERTY IS, UH, FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED, UH, AND THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED IN 90 DAYS.
UH, THE PROPERTY SHOULD ALSO BE SECURE AND PERMITS REQUIRED SHOULD BE DRAWN BEFORE WORK BEGINS.
SO WE HAVE A 90 DAY REPAIR ORDER WITH THE PROPERTY BEING SECURED AND PERMITS BEING PULLED PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF WORK.
OKAY, WE HAVE A SECOND FROM MR. ZUNIGA.
ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YEAH, THERE'S A DISCUSSION.
LET ME ASK, UH, UH, LEGAL TO CLARIFY SOMETHING ABOUT 90 DAYS.
ARE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE PAPER IN HAND BEFORE WE DO A 90 DAY? THIS IS LEGAL.
UM, THIS BOARD BASED ON TESTIMONY THAT'S PROVIDED, CAN GIVE 90 DAYS IF THEY ACCEPT THE, UH, THE SCOPE OF WORK.
UM, I CAN TELL YOU THAT, UH, PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS, AGAIN, THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO ACCEPT, UM, OR TESTIMONY IN REGARDS TO THAT HE HAS IT.
OR THE BOARD CAN ASK FOR, UM, FINANCIAL MEANS TO BE PROVIDED, UM, DURING, UH, THE, DURING THE REPAIRS BEING, BEING PERFORMED OR WITHIN A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS.
[01:40:01]
DOES HAVE A LITTLE LEEWAY WIGGLE ROOM AGAIN, IF, IF, IF THE ORAL TESTIMONY THAT WAS PROVIDED IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY BOARD AND MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR.UM, DOCUMENTATION OF A POTENTIAL SALE OR A POTENTIAL PURCHASE IS NOT GOING TO STOP ANYTHING HAPPENING HERE AT THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD OR WITH THE BOARD.
UM, IF A, IF A PROPERTY IS BROUGHT AND LAST MINUTE, SO THERE'S PER PAPERWORK OF A PURCHASE, UM, WE'RE GONNA STILL MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THOSE, UM, THE ORDERS THAT YOU PROVIDE DO RUN WITH THE LAND.
SO I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR, UH, ALL PARTIES INVOLVED.
EVERYBODY THAT CAN HEAR ME IS JUST BECAUSE YOU DO YOU, UM, OFFER UP SOME PAPERWORK THAT THERE'S A NEW PURCHASE OR SOMEBODY THAT'S GOING TO BUY IT, IS NOT GOING STOP OR HALT ANYTHING IN REGARDS TO BUILDING STANDARDS.
I'D LIKE TO, I'D LIKE TO ADD A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT YOU, WELL, I WAS GONNA FINISH.
AND, UM, MAYBE THIS WILL HELP YOUR FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TOO.
UM, WE'VE DONE, NOT THAT I CAN REMEMBER ANYBODY HAS GIVEN OR GRANTED ANYBODY ANY TYPE OF, OKAY.
BASED OFF THE WORD WE'VE ALWAYS ASKED FOR PROOF OF DOCUMENT.
AND SINCE HE DOES NOT HAVE A PROOF OF FINANCIAL DOCUMENT, I WOULD ASK AN AMENDMENT AS IN TWO PARTS HERE, IS TO FOLLOW UP WITHIN 15 DAYS TO CODE COMPLIANCE ON, ON THE PROGRESS FOR, UH, UH, EVERY 15 DAYS.
AND THAT HE, UH, PROOF OF FINANCIAL, UH, PAPERS WITHIN 15 DAYS TO, UH, CO COMPLIANCE.
MR. NELSON, IS THAT ACCEPTABLE? THE 15 DAYS, UH, IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PLAN CLOSING DATE IS OUTSIDE OF THAT 15 DAY, IF WE CALL IT 35 DAY, I MEAN, 25 DAYS, UH, 25 DAYS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE.
UH, AND I GUESS I WOULD EVEN ACCEPT THE 25 DAY ISSUE ON PROOF OF FINANCIAL, BECAUSE IF THEY CLOSE INDEED BY THE 2ND OF AUGUST, UH, IT'S CERTAINLY AN INDICATION THAT THE FINANCIAL HAS BEEN THERE.
UH, AND I JUST TAUGHT MYSELF OUT OF ACCEPTING, I GUESS, THE FINANCIAL PROOF.
UH, I GUESS I'M WILLING TO ACCEPT THE TESTIMONY THAT THE FINANCIAL OR THE FINANCES ARE THERE.
UH, AND IF INDEED THEY DO CLOSE ON THE 2ND OF AUGUST, UH, OBVIOUSLY THE MONEY IS GOING TO BE THERE, UH, TO MAKE BOTH THE PURCHASE.
AND I DO BELIEVE, UH, AND, AND AGAIN, I JUST TAUGHT MYSELF OUT OF, OF NOT AGREEING WITH MR. TIS.
UH, SO THEREFORE, I, I'LL ACCEPT MR. ANDES BOTH, UH, REQUIREMENTS FOR A 25 DAY PROOF OF, UH, SALE AND PROOF OF FINANCIAL TO REPAIR.
NOW, HOW ABOUT 15 DAYS ON TOP OF THE 90 DAYS, UH, 15 DAY FOLLOW UP BY CO COMPLIANCE EVERY 15 DAYS? UH, THAT'S TOO MUCH WORK FOR COMPLIANCE, BUT I WOULD AGREE FOR THE THREE DAYS.
EVERY 30 DAYS WITH A, WITH A, WHAT DID YOU SAY? UM, WITH A FOLLOW UP.
THAT'S MY AMENDMENT IF YOU ACCEPT IT.
SO TO RESTATE IT, WE HAVE A 90 DAY REPAIR ORDER WITH AN ORDER SECURE WITH ALL PERMITS PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF WORK WITH CODE THEM TO CHECK IN WITH CODE COMPLIANCE EVERY 30 DAYS, AND THEY NEED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF FINANCIAL ABILITY TO DO THE WORK WITHIN, WAS THAT 25 DAYS? THAT IS CORRECT.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? YEAH, I'M, I'M CONFUSED IF THEY'RE GONNA CLOSE ON THE SECOND, WHICH IS LIKE WHAT, UH, TWO WEEKS AWAY I WOULD AND, AND TO PROVIDE THE, UH, FINANCIAL PROOF.
IT DOESN'T TAKE HIM, UH, IT'S GONNA TAKE HIM LIKE 30 MINUTES TO GO TO THE BANK AND GET A FINANCIAL REPORT.
I WOULD SAY THAT, UH, TO PROVIDE THE PR THE FINANCIAL PROOF TO US WITHIN FIVE DAYS, HE DOESN'T NEED 25 DAYS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL PROOF.
CAN I SAY SOMETHING? WELL, WE, I THINK WE'RE TALKING TO THE O TO THE, UH, PERSPECTIVE.
NO, I THINK AT THIS POINT THE BOARD IS DELIBERATING INSTEAD WITH NO FURTHER TESTIMONY IS ALLOWED.
[01:45:01]
UH, AND THAT PROOF WOULD'VE TO GO TO OBVIOUSLY CODE COMPLIANCE.JUDY, DID YOU GET ALL THAT
PIECE OF MOTION JUST FOR CLARITY.
SO WE HAVE A 90 DAY REPAIR ORDER, UH, THE PROPERTY TO BE SECURED, ALL PERMITS TO BE PULLED PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE WORK.
THERE'S TO CHECK IN WITH CODE COMPLIANCE EVERY 30 DAYS TO GIVE THEM PROGRESS REPORTS.
AND THEY'RE TO PROVIDE PROOF OF FINANCIAL ABILITY, BOTH TO CLOSE THIS TRANSACTION AND TO COMPLETE THE CONTEMPLATED WORK WITHIN FIVE DAYS TO THE CODE OFFICER.
WITHOUT FURTHER DISCUSSION, CAN WE GET A ROLL CALL VOTE? DID I HEAR A SECOND? SECOND.

UM, SO AS FAR AS I'M AWARE, WE DIDN'T, WE, MY CONTRACTORS DID GET A LITTLE AHEAD OF THEMSELVES ON THAT THAT MORNING.
UM, BUT WE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND WE JUST CLEANED UP THE PROPERTY AFTER THAT.
UM, BUT, UH, I THINK, UH, JOSHUA IS, IS CONFU, UM, NEEDED TO CLARIFY.
THERE WAS NO FOUNDATION WHERE WE DIDN'T LIFT ANY OF THIS.
AND AS FAR AS MY KNOWLEDGE, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY CLAY ROOF ON THERE.
THE ROOF IS DEFINITELY THE LAPID.
THE WHOLE STRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE REHABBED, BUT I THINK IT'S AN OLD WOOD SHINGLE TANK ROOF.
UM, BUT MY INTENTION OF THIS IS TO REHAB IT COMPLETELY, UM, WITH PERMITS, UM, AND, UH, MAKE IT A A, A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AGAIN.
AND THEN AS FAR AS THE DOCUMENTS THAT I'VE LISTED, IT JUST HAS KIND OF THE DETAILS OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
UM, UH, BASED OFF WHAT ALICE WAS ASKING ME TO SHOW PROOF OF FUNDING, UM, I AM GONNA GET A, A LOAN TO DO THE MAJORITY OF THIS, BUT I HAVE, UH, MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GET STARTED.
UM, AND THEN AS FAR AS ANY CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, WE, I HAD BEEN USING THIS AS, UH, A LITTLE BIT OF STORAGE OF SOME EXTRA LUMBER AND SIDING THAT WE HAD AS WE FINISHED UP, UH, THE OTHER PROJECTS WE HAD GOING ON AT THE TIME.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA ADD TO YOUR TESTIMONY? UM, MY MAIN THING IS I'M JUST TRYING TO GET THIS, UH, UM, RELEASED SO I CAN'T PULL PERMITS AS AGAIN, INTENTION IS TO MAKE THIS SECURE AND WELL-BUILT SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
UM, AND THERE'S NO REAL REASON TO HAVE IT DEMOLISHED, UH, UM, AS I AM GONNA REHAB THIS COMPLETELY.
AND HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THAT REHAB? UM, WE SHOULD BE DONE WITH FOR SURE, WITHIN, UH, A HUN SIX MONTHS.
I PUT I THINK FIVE MONTHS ON THERE, LIKE 150 DAYS AND THAT SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME.
AND I ALSO OWN THE HOUSE, UH, CATTY CORNER FROM THIS ONE AT 1 25 GLASS JUST TO SEE THE WORKMANSHIP OF THE PROJECTS THAT I DO.
UM, AND THAT ONE I'M CURRENTLY USING AS A RENTAL.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNER?
[02:00:01]
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE, UH, FOR THE CODE OFFICER.UH, THIS IS, THIS IS MS. BROWN HERE.
UH, I'D LIKE TO NOTE, DID YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT, I I THINK I REMEMBERED YOU SAYING THAT YOU DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH THE OWNER PRIOR TO THE HEARING OR DID YOU? I HAD, UH, I HAD A O UH, CONTACT WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER BACK LAST YEAR.
AND, UH, WHEN HE DID SELL THE PROPERTY, WELL, HE SAID THAT HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO SELL IT.
AND AS WE WERE RESEARCHING BACK A FEW, UH, BACK WHEN I GUESS MR. SANTA BOUGHT, BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, WE UM, WE FOUND OUT THAT HE OWNED IT.
SO WE SENT, WE BATCHED OUT A NEW LETTER, UH, A NEW, UH, NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE PROPERTY.
UM, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN, UH, I GAVE, I GAVE TICKETS TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH WAS THAT WAS, WAS, WAS, WAS MR. SANTA.
UM, WE'VE SENT LETTERS TO THE, THE, THE, THE PROPERTY WHICH WAS ONE 20 GLASS.
AND UH, I'VE ACTUALLY POSTED TOO, AND THE CITY HAS CLEANED THE PROPERTY TOO.
I'VE ACTUALLY POSTED NOTIFICATION FOR, UH, FOR A CLEAN AND BASE FOR THE PROPERTY.
SO, SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU HAVE HAD NO CONTACT WITH, UH, THE PRESENT OWNER? I HAVE CONTACT SINCE, UH, 7 7 20 21 IS WHEN HE CONTACTED US BEFORE THE HEARING.
AND HE SAID HE, HE'S OWNED THE PROPERTY FOR SIX MONTHS AND THE CITY HAD TO REBATE, UH, THE PROPERTY, ABATE THE PROPERTY.
IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN ABATED.
UH, THIS IS, UH, THIS HOUSE HAS BEEN SINCE 20 16, 20 17.
AND THAT CONDITION OF WORSE, IT'S GETTING WHAT TOOK SO LONG TO GET TO IT.
UM, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO, UH, TO SAY WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE 2009 BEFORE I DID THE CASE.
UM, BUT FROM 2019 TO NOW, IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHEN I STARTED IT, WE WERE GIVING TIME FOR THE NEW OWNER TO EITHER RENOVATE IT OR HE WAS GONNA TRY TO SELL IT.
'CAUSE IT WAS STILL EARLY ON IN THE CASE.
UM, AND ABOUT THAT TIME, UM, IT, IT CAME INTO 2020, THE PANDEMIC HIT.
SO EVERYTHING WAS ON A STANDSTILL.
UM, THE PROPERTY WAS, UH, THE, UH, AFTER THAT, AFTER ABOUT JANUARY WHEN HE DID BUY THE PROPERTY, A NEW NOTICE HAD TO BE ISSUED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER TO, TO START THE, THE CONTINUE WITH THE CASE.
BECAUSE MY CONCERN IS THAT, UH, IF, IF WE DON'T, IF WE GO AHEAD AND, UM, GIVE THIS NEW OWNER TIME TO DO IT AND THEY DON'T WANNA ABIDE BY IT AND, AND WE GO OVER IT HERE AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM.
YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S A LOT OF NEW HOUSES BUILT AFTER, YOU KNOW, HARRIS BOUGHT ALL THAT PROPERTIES THERE.
SO, SO IT'S OKAY, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, TO INVEST IN THE PROPERTY, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST WORRIED THAT THIS AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN AND THERE'S NO ASSURANCE REALLY.
AND I, I SEE THIS PROPERTIES BACK AND FORTH WHEN WE USED TO COME TO THE MEETINGS HERE AT, UH, AT THE CITY SINCE I WOULD GO, UH, DRIVE THAT WAY, WHICH AS WE ALL KNOW, UH, THIS AREA IS RIGHT NEAR, UH, WHERE WE MEET THERE, THE DEVELOPING SERVICE.
SO LIKE I SAY, I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE ANY INSURANCE AND WE COULD TIE SOME TO THERE'LL BE DIFFERENCE.
SO MR. BOARD MEMBER MR. IS ALICE GOHAR AND CODE ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR? YES.
UM, IN REFERENCE TO MR. UNI'S QUESTION, THE NEW OWNER, MR. SANTA WAS NOTIFIED, UH, BY MAIL ON MARCH 17TH, 2021.
THE NOTIFICATION WAS RETURNED, UH, DUE TO PUR BEAR COUNTY APPRAISAL.
THE MAILING WAS BEING MAILED TO THE ADDRESS, WHICH IS THE VACANT STRUCTURE OF ONE 20 GLASS.
UM, WE ARE UNDERSTANDING THAT MR. EZ CONCERNED THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE PROCEEDED TO HAVE THE CASE PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ORDERS AND HOLD THE OWNER LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS.
SO, UM, MR. IS IT SANTAS? YES.
UH, I'M, WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANYTHING WITH THIS PROPERTY WITHIN THE SIX MONTH PERIOD THAT YOU'VE OWNED IT AND WHY HAVE YOU? OH, I JUST, UH, THE REASON I HAVEN'T IMMEDIATELY, UH, STARTED THIS ONE IS JUST WE WERE, I WAS JUST, UH, FINISHING UP MY OTHER PROJECTS, UM,
[02:05:01]
AND ALSO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE BEST, UH, FLOOR PLAN FOR THIS ONE.AS IF, AS YOU SEE, IT'S, YOU KNOW, HAS TO BE PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY REBUILT.
UM, AND SO WE ARE NOW AFTER, AS I FINISHED UP, MY OTHER ONES READY TO HIT, UH, START THIS ONE.
AND THEN, UM, TO ADDRESS THE PRIOR COUNCIL PERSON'S WORRY ABOUT, THERE'S NOTHING, UM, ASSURANCE ON ME COMPLETING THIS.
UM, ALL I CAN SAY IS MY, MY OLD MOTHER PROJECTS, I, I OWN THE HOUSE, UH, DIAGONAL ACROSS THE STREET AT 1 25 GLASS.
AND SO I HAVE, YOU KNOW, ALL INTENTION OF COMPLETELY FINISHING THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU? BUT THE REASON I, YEAH.
WHY DIDN'T YOU RESPOND TO ANY OF THE NOTICES THAT THE, UH, THAT THE COAT SENT OUT TO YOU? AND WHY DID THE, WHY DID THE CITY HAVE TO ABATE THE PROPERTY AND YOU, YOU, UH, YOU DIDN'T DO THE GRASS OR KEEP THE WEEDS DOWN OR WHATEVER THEY DID? UM, I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY WERE DOING THAT 'CAUSE WE WERE MAINTAINING IT.
I GUESS IT WAS JUST, UH, GETTING OUTTA HAND AND BEING VANDALIZED MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY THAN I REALIZED BECAUSE I THOUGHT, BECAUSE WE WOULD'VE, I WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE, THE YARD A FEW TIMES AND WE HAD TAKEN SOME OF THE INTERIOR DOORS AND KIND OF BOARDED THEM UP AS PEOPLE KIND OF BROKE THE WOOD SIDING TO GET IN.
UM, BUT, UH, AS FAR AS RECEIVING NOTICES, I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY TO MY ADDRESS.
AND THEN AS I FOUND OUT LAST WEEK WHEN I MET WITH ALICE, UM, THEY WERE ALL BEING SENT TO ONE 20 GLASS, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY NOT RECE ABLE TO RECEIVE ANY MAIL.
SORRY, I I DIDN'T, WELL, I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ABATEMENT, UH, COURT.
UH, THIS IS JOSHUA DP OFFICER, UM, S OFFICER.
THE LAST TIME THE PROPERTY WAS CLEAN AND SECURED BY THE CITY, APRIL 5TH, 2021, AND THE TOTAL COST OF THE ABATEMENT WAS $1,995.
AND WAS THAT PAID OR DO YOU KNOW? UH, I DON'T KNOW.
AS OF THIS TIME, I DON'T KNOW, MA'AM.
SIR, DID YOU, DID YOU PAY THE ABATEMENT? NO, I NOT, I NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THAT ABATEMENT.
UH, YOU, YOU HAD TOO MANY I DON'T KNOWS FOR ME, THANK YOU.
I, I, I'VE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ABOUT ANY OF THAT ABATEMENT.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY DIDN'T, THE MAIL AT WHAT? 20 AND SO THAT IS NOT RECEIVING ANY MAIL, SO I'M NOT GETTING NOTIFIED.
UM, YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S YOUR, IF THAT'S YOUR REASON FOR NOT HAVING, NOT SEEING THAT THE PROPERTY HAD BEEN MAINTAINED, THEN THAT'S YOUR REASON.
BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I DON'T THINK THAT'S A, A VALID REASON FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT'S GOING ON AT YOUR PROPERTY.
I, I, LIKE I SAID, WE HAD BEEN MAINTAINING IT, BUT I GUESS IT'S BEEN VANDALIZED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN I REALIZED, UM, FOR MY GUYS TO COME BACK AND, YOU KNOW, TAKE CARE OF THE GRASS LAWN, UM, AND THEN THE CITY CHECKING ON IT.
AND, AND AGAIN, WITHOUT ME RECEIVING ANY NOTICES TO MY ADDRESS WHERE I LIVE, I'M NOT REALIZING THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING ANYTHING.
NOT UNTIL WE TRIED TO, I PATROL PERMITS LAST WEEK TILL ALL OF THIS CAME UP.
SIR, YOU STATED THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ABATEMENT, OKAY.
YOU ALREADY HAVE CLOTHES ON THIS HOUSE, IS THAT CORRECT? YES.
UH, AND AT CLOSING, IT DIDN'T SHOW THAT, UH, ABATEMENT THE, THE LIEN TO THE CITY? IT DID NOT.
AND I CAN PROVIDE ALL THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS IF NEEDED WHEN I PURCHASED HOUSE.
WHO, WHO IS THE TITLE COMPANIES ON THAT, ON THAT CLOSING? SIR, I HAVE TO LOOK.
I DON'T HAVE, I DON'T KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
LEMME CHECK THE TITLE COMPANY WHERE HE, WHEN CLOSED IT.
ACTUALLY, IT SHOULD BE A MOOT QUESTION BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY HOLDS DEED TO THE PROPERTY.
THE DEEDED TO THE PROPERTY IS DATED 9 25 OF 20.
UH, SO HE, HE HOLDS THE DEEDED TO THE PROPERTY.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT, UM, NOTICES THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SENDS OUT IS BASED ON VCAT.
UM, IF THERE WAS A DELAY OR A DISCREPANCY IN REGARDS TO WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY ON VCAT, THEN THAT, THAT DOCUMENTATION, AND I'M LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW, IT'S GOING STRAIGHT TO GLASS AVENUE.
UM, AND, UH, BASED ON WHAT, UH, MR. SANTA IS SAYING, IF ONE 20 GLASS AVENUE IS UNABLE TO ACCEPT MAIL, THEN UNLESS CODE OR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS ACTUALLY POSTING IT ON THE PROPERTY, UM, HE'S, HE IS NOT GETTING THE, THE, THE DOC, HE'S
[02:10:01]
NOT GETTING THE NOTICE OF IT.IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE'S NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.
HE, AS, AS THE OWNER, HE, WE ALL KNOW THAT HE IS.
BUT, UM, I DO BELIEVE THAT, UH, THERE COULD BE A, A, A REASONABLE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY HE HAS NOT RESPONDED TO THOSE.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE HE'S JUST NOT GETTING THE MAIL YET.
I, I, I DO NOT KNOW, BUT I AM LOOKING HERE THAT, UH, THE MAILING ADDRESS SHOWS IT'S ONE 20 GLASS.
IT, THERE IS NO OTHER ADDRESS AS TO WHERE THOSE, UH, THOSE NOTICES ARE GOING.
AND THAT'S A HUNDRED PERCENT THE SITUATION.
AND, UH, I LOOKED IT UP, IT WAS PRESERVED TITLE COMPANY OFF NORTH NEW BRAUNFELS.
THAT WAS THE CLOSING, UH, THAT WAS THE TITLE COMPANY WHERE IT WAS CLOSED AT.
UM, I'M NOT SURE WHY THE MAILING ADDRESS WHEN I WAS CLOSED IS SENT TO THIS ONE.
'CAUSE EVERY OTHER PROPERTY I'VE EVER CLOSED ALWAYS HAS MY MAILING ADDRESS.
UM, BUT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, MY INTENTIONS IS TRYING TO START THIS REMODEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS IS COUNCIL.
UH, NOW THE ABATEMENT, HE SAYS HE HASN'T PAID FOR IT, HE DIDN'T PAY IT CLOSING FOR IT.
DID THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY PLACE CLOSING? DO YOU KNOW? AND IF, IF NOT, I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHETHER THAT ABATEMENT, UM, HAS BEEN PAID FOR OR NOT.
UM, I DO KNOW THAT AT, AT SOME POINT IN TIME, THE OWNER WILL GET NOTICE OF IT AND IF THAT, UH, ABATEMENT OR THAT WORK IS NOT PAID FOR, THEN SUBSEQUENTLY IT'LL BE A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY.
SO, UM, IT'S NOT GOING, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
BECAUSE THE NEW OWNER MIGHT JUST GET A, A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM THE CITY.
LIKE I SAID, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. BURNS.
MR. ANDES, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? YES, I DID.
UM, TO THE OWNER, UH, YOU STATED THAT YOU HAVE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON? YEAH.
THAT ONE WE HAD FINISHED UP PRIOR, BUT THAT WASN'T THE MOST RECENT.
BUT I DO OWN THAT ONE JUST TO SEE THE QUALITY OF WORK AND THAT I'M ACTUALLY GONNA FOLLOW THROUGH ON, ON MY PLANS.
MY QUESTION IS, IS IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON PROPERTY AND YOU NEED PERMITS BEFORE YOU START DEMOING, WHY WERE YOUR CONSTRUCTION CREWS DEMOING WITHOUT PERMITS? OH, YEAH.
UH, WELL, YEAH, WAS THAT MORNING OF, AND THEY GOT AHEAD OF THEMSELVES.
UM, I WAS EXPECTING THEM TO, UH, TO GET THE PERMITS, NO PROBLEM.
AND THEN I RAN INTO ALL OF THIS.
UM, AND SO THEY STOPPED IMMEDIATELY.
UM, AND THEN WE JUST CLEANED UP WITH THE OVERGROWTH AND EVERYTHING AT, UH, AND THEN WHAT HAD ALL BEEN DEMOED AT THAT POINT, WHICH WAS THE, THE BACK EXTERIOR WALL AND THAT WAS IT.
AND PART OF THAT, YEAH, THAT WAS BACK EXTERIOR WALL.
SO ON ONE OF THE PICTURES WHERE IT SHOWS THE DOUBLE DOORS, ONE DOOR'S THERE, ONE DOOR'S NOT, DID YOU SECURE YOUR PROPERTY? YES.
AFTER THAT WE JUST SECURED EVERYTHING.
DO ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE, UH, OWNER? ALL RIGHT.
HEARING NONE, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
JUST A REAL QUICK COMMENT IF I MAY.
THE, THE PROPERTY THAT'S ACROSS THE STREET AT 1 25 GLASS, UH, HAS BEEN RENOVATED AND PRESENTLY HAS A ZILLOW VALUE OF $205,000.
THE REPAIR IS SUBSTANTIAL AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE BUILDING IS SUBSTANTIAL.
UH, SO WITH THAT, I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT COMMENT TO THE, UH, TESTIMONY.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MRS. DUANE NELSON? YES.
DWAYNE, I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT ONE 20 GLASS AVENUE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, UH, AS, AS DESCRIBED BY CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, UH, AND SUBSECTIONS 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 15.
AND ALTHOUGH THE REPAIR REQUIREMENTS ARE SUBSTANTIAL, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE BUILDING CAN BE REPAIRED, UH, AND ORDER THAT THE BUILDING BE REPAIRED IN 150 DAYS, THAT ALL PERMITS BE DRAWN PRIOR TO ANY WORK COMMENCING AND THAT THE PROP PROPERTY REMAIN.
DO WE HAVE A AND HOW MANY DAYS DAYS WAS THAT, MR. HUDSON? 1, 5 0 1.
SO WE HAVE A, A REPAIR ORDER, 150 DAY REPAIR ORDER WITH THE PROPERTY
[02:15:01]
TO REMAIN SECURED AND ALL PERMITS TO BE PULLED.DO WE HAVE A SECOND? IT'S ROBERT TAPIA.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND FOR MR. TAPIA? DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? YEAH, I HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
TO, TO ALSO ALLOW CODE OR, OR HAVE CODE COMPLIANCE CHECK EVERY 30 DAYS FOR STATUS AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.
SO WE HAVE 30 DAY PROGRESS REPORTS DUE TO CODE COMPLIANCE IN ADDITION TO THE PROPERTY BEING SECURED AND PERMITS BEING PULLED.
UM, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? OKAY, HEARING NONE.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF FIVE TO ONE.
[8. 21-4729 (CD-10) 5338 Stormy Skies]
SANSO, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT CASE.MY NAME IS UNCONSCIOUS OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO

FOLLOWING IS THE TIMELINE REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS.
FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 53 38 STORMY SKIES WAS CONDUCTED ON JUNE 8TH, 2021 ON JUNE 9TH, 2021.
THE STRUCTURE WAS NOT DEEMED TO BE AN EMERGENCY DEMO BY THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR, BUT THE STRUCTURE WAS FAST TRACKED TO THE D S B BECAUSE OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE STRUCTURE AND IT BEING 1000 FEET OF A DAYCARE.

[02:20:01]
THE TOTAL COST OF ABATEMENT WAS 1,560 FOR THE CLEANING AND SECURITY.THE STRUCTURE IS WITHIN 1000 FEET OF ST.
AND CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO UTILITIES BEING PROVIDED TO THE STRUCTURE.
PHOTOS FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE TAKEN ON JUNE 8TH, 2021 AND JULY 8TH, 2020.
THE STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF A SLAB ON GRAY FOUNDATION, WOOD FRAME WALLS WITH SIDING AND BRICK EXTERIOR COVERAGE.
ROOF IS A HIP AND GABLE ROOF SYSTEM WITH A SHINGLE COVERAGE.
INTERIOR WALLS ARE SHING LINE.
THIS PHOTO HERE, YOU SEE THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY THROUGH THE WINDOWS, YOU START SEEING THE LACK OF ROOF COVERAGE OVER THE GARAGE AREA AND OVER THE DOOR AREA.
YOU START SEEING WHERE THE, UH, DECKING WAS REMOVED HERE IN THE PORTION YOU START SEEING THE FLASHING ATTACHED.
THIS HERE IS GONNA BE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
YOU START SEEING THE DAMAGE, HARDY PLANK EXPOSED WIRING AND EXPOSED WOOD MEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE ENTIRE OVERHANG SYSTEM, UH, PATIENT BOARD BEING REMOVED.

THIS HERE IS GONNA BE THE LEFT REAR CORNER.
YOU'RE GONNA START SEEING WHERE MOST OF THE DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE OCCURRED.
YOU START SEEING, AGAIN, EXPOSED WOOD MEMBERS, DAMAGED SIDING, BROKEN WINDOWS.
THE NEXT PHOTO IS GONNA BE THE REAR RESERVATION.
SEE A LARGE HOLE THAT'S MISSING IN THE REAR WALL, THAT IS ROUGHLY ABOUT 18 FEET, 18 LINEAR FEET THAT'S MISSING.
YOU START SEEING THE WHAT'S LEFT OF THE ACTUAL TRUS SYSTEM WITH, UH, CROSS BASES THAT HAVE BEEN CUT AND NO LONGER SUPPORTING PROPERTY.
THIS HERE IS GONNA BE THE, UH, RIGHT REAR.
YOU START SEEING AGAIN, MORE OF THE DAMAGE.
YOU SEE THE, YOU STILL SEE THE, UH, HOLE UP THERE.
THE PROPERTY WAS SECURED BY THE CITY.
UM, YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE TWO POLES RIGHT THERE THAT ARE LEANING ON THE BOTTOM PORTION.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE, AGAIN, RIGHT REAR AFTER IT WAS, UH, SECURED BY THE CITY.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE BROKEN SHEET ROCK EXPOSED WIRING, BROKEN FIXTURES, DAMAGED FLOOR COVERING.
THE, UH, STRUCTURE IS OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS.
SO WATER HAS SEEPED THROUGH THE, UH, SUBFLOOR, UM, CAUSING THE, UH, SHEET ROCK ON THE FIRST FLOOR TO COLLAPSE.
AND HERE THIS IS THE, UH, FIREPLACE IN THE LIVING AREA.
ON THE FIRST ONE, YOU START SEEING MORE OF THE SHEET ROCK COMING ATTACHED, GOING UPSTAIRS, SAME, SAME THING.
DAMAGE SHEET, ROCKS FLOOR COVERING THIS HERE IS ON THE SECOND FLOOR.
YOU START SEEING THE EVIDENCE OF ALL THE, UH, SHEET ROCK HAS COLLAPSED DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF THE ROOF SYSTEM.
AGAIN, THIS IS GONNA BE THE OVER THE, UH, GARAGE AREA.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, TRUST SYSTEM THAT, AND THIS IS GOING INTO THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.
START SEEING THE LARGE HOLE THAT WAS MADE THERE.
THIS IS A STRUCTURE AFTER IT WAS SECURED.
THIS IS A TWO STORE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE WITH MAJOR DAMAGE TO TWO OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE EXTERIOR WALLS HAVE DAMAGE AND MISSING SIDING.
THE EXTERIOR WALL, STU, ARE DAMAGED AND MISSING, LEAVING THE STRUCTURE WITHOUT PROPER SUPPORT.
A SECTION OF THE REAR WALL ON THE SECOND FLOOR HAS BEEN REMOVED, LEAVING A LARGE HOLE IN THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.
ABOUT 90% OF THE ROOF SYSTEM HAS BEEN REMOVED, AND THE PORTIONS THAT REMAIN HAVE DAMAGED CROSS PRAC ON THE TRUS SYSTEM.
THE ENTIRE SECOND FLOOR SHEET ROCK HAS COLLAPSED DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF THE TRUS SYSTEM.
THE STRUCTURE IS OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS FURTHER HARMING THE WOOD MA ON THE FIRST FLOOR HAS DAMAGED SHEET ROCK EXPOSED WIRING AND BROKEN PICTURES.
TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 5 3 3 8 STORM SKIES IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56, SUBSECTION 2, 4, 5, 8, 12,
[02:25:04]
AND 15, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY FOR ALL DEFECTS HERE AND DESCRIBES SHALL BE DEEMED A DANGEROUS BUILDING, A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE.PROVIDED THAT SUCH, PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECT AND HABITATION, SUBSTANDARD FOR UNFITNESS, FOR HUMAN HABITATION HOLD THE THREAT, POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THIS CONFUSED MY PRESENTATION ON 5 3 3 8.
DO YOU HAVE ANYONE SIGN UP TO SPEAK? I DON'T THINK SO.
I HAVE THE SIGN UP TO SPEAK AND WE ALSO HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT TO BE READ INTO THE RECORD.
YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS BON IBACA AND MY ADDRESS IS 5 3 3 8 THOMAS SKIES, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
UM, AT THIS POINT, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO ADD.
I AGREE WITH THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION.
THE HOUSE IS IN A BAD SHAPE AND NEEDS TO BE DEMOTED.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? UM, NOT REALLY.
LIKE I SAID, THE HOUSE IN BAD SHAPE IS IN BAD SHAPE, AND I, I, I DON'T WANNA THROW IN MONEY IN THERE BECAUSE THE HOUSE IS IN MIDDLE OF A FAMILY DISPUTE.
EVEN THOUGH IT IS REGISTERED TO MY NAME, ME AND MY WIFE, WE ARE A HUNDRED PERCENT OWNERS OF THE HOUSE.
BUT IF I PUT IN MORE MONEY OF MY MONEY AND END UP GIVING THE HOUSE AWAY, THEN I'LL LOSE MONEY.
IF THE CITY DECIDE TO DEMOLISH, I ALREADY SUPPORT THE HOUSES IN THE BEST SHAPE, IT SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED AND THEY COULD PUT THE BILL ON THE PROPERTY.
SO IF I DECIDE TO REPAIR THE HOUSE, I WILL PAY THE FEES.
IF SOME OTHER PERSON LEGALLY GET THE HOUSE, THEY PAY THE FEES.
IF SOMEBODY BUYS THE HOUSE, THEY WILL PAY THE FEES.
UM, JUDY SAID THERE'S A PUBLIC COMMENT TO READ.
WE HAVE ONE EMAIL FROM DALE PARK SENT ON MONDAY, JULY 12TH.
PROPERTY NAME, MY WIFE AND I DAY REMAINS.
MY WIFE AND I COURT BY INVOICE.
IF THEY DON'T RESPOND, PLACE A LIE ON THE PROPERTY.
SOME PHOTOS, EXHIBIT A, AND THAT IS THE END COMMENTS.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? UH, YEAH, I DO.
MS. FRED, AND, AND THIS IS TO THE, THE STAFF.
UM, NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WASN'T A FIRE EMERGENCY AND IT WAS DEEMED NOT TO BE AN EMERGENCY, BUT YOU FAST TRACKED THIS TO TEAR IT DOWN.
WHY DIDN'T THE CITY, UM, OR I'M SORRY, YOUR, YOUR INSPECTORS WHO GO OUT AND DO THIS, THE ENGINEERS GO OUT AND ORDER A DEMOLITION.
ARE THEY ALLOWED TO DO THAT WITH THAT, SIR? UH, I CAN BASICALLY, NO, SIR, I'M TALKING TO THE STAFF.
I'M, I'M TALKING TO THE STAFF.
BUT, UH, I THINK, I THINK IT, IT IS GONNA HAVE TO BE HIGHER THAN THE CODE COMPLIANCE TO ANSWER THAT ONE.
MR. ANDES, CAN WE HOLD THAT TO ADMINISTRATIVE TIME? WELL, I, I CAN, I CAN SPEAK TO THIS SPECIFIC CASE, MR. ANDES.
THIS IS JENNY RAMIREZ, CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER.
WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I WANT BECAUSE YEAH, NO, I CAN, CAN, I CAN ASK.
WE HAD IT EVALUATED BY A BUILDING INSPECTOR AND IT WAS NOT DEEMED AN EMERGENCY, BUT WE STILL BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE THAT WE WANTED TO FAST TRACK THAT.
SO THAT IS WHERE WE'RE RIGHT NOW, BUT 90% OF IT'S GONE.
HOW IS THAT NOT AN EMERGENCY? WE, WE, WE CAN TABLE THAT.
[02:30:02]
TO FAST TRACK IT AS ANEM AS A DEMO.IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEMOED AS SOON AS THE ENGINEER SAW THAT.
BUT WE'LL TABLE THAT AND WE'LL TALK TO IT ONLINE OR, UM, IN THE, UM, UM, ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS, UH, OR QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNER? OKAY.
HEARING NONE, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY AT 5 3 3 8 STORMY SKIES SAN ANTONIO 7 8 2 4 7 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 5 6 WITH SUBSECTIONS 2, 4, 5, 12, AND 15.
AND THAT THE PROPERTY'S NOT FEASIBLE OF BEING REPAIRED AND ORDERED THAT THE PROPERTY BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
SO WE HAVE A 30 DAY DEMOLITION ORDER UNDER SUBSECTIONS 2, 2, 4, 5, 12, AND 15.
HAVE A SECOND FROM, I THINK IT WAS MR. ZUNI.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION, HEARING NO DISCUSSION OR CALL FOR A VOTE? MR. NELSON? AYE.
UM, THAT I THINK IS THE LAST OF OUR CASES, AND SO WE CAN
[Item BSB Guidelines, Policies, and Procedures]
GO TO IF THERE'S ANY, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS CONTINUE WITH FRED'S QUESTION AND, AND IT'S A VIABLE QUESTION, BUT, UH, MY, I GUESS IT'S MY BELIEF THAT WE HAVE OUGHT TO NOT, UH, FIGHT WITHIN INSIDE OURSELVES, UH, AND ESPECIALLY WITH, UH, UH, CO-DEVELOPMENT.BUT, UH, IT, IT IS ACTUALLY A, A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE ACTION TAKEN, UH, DESERVES, UH, A PO VERY POSITIVE COMMENT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE INSPECTOR DIDN'T DO WHAT FRED NOR I WOULD'VE DONE.
UH, AS A RESULT OF THAT, THE STAFF DID WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE, AND THAT IS BRING IT TO US TO EXPEDITE IT.
AND OF COURSE, FRED, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO IT ON THAT, BUT I, I TELL THE STAFF FOR BRINGING, WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IF IT, WHAT IS THE ACTUAL PERCENTAGE BEFORE IT BECOMES AN EMERGENCY? DEMOLITION, 90% SEEMS LIKE THAT SHOULD BE AN AUTOMATIC, ESPECIALLY BY A SCHOOL.
WE GO BACK TO THIS EVERY YEAR.
THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T DO SOMETHING AND THE ENGINEER DOESN'T DO NOTHING.
AND WE'RE
THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR IS NOT A, IS NOT AN ENGINEER.
HE'S A CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR.
SO IT IS, IT IS OUR CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR THAT WE RELY ON, UH, FOR I GUESS YOU COULD SAY FOR COORDINATION, UM, TO AGREE OR TO RECOMMEND.
AND THEN THE, THE BUILDING OFFICIAL EITHER AGREES OR RECOMMENDS AS WELL OR MAKES THE FINAL DETERMINATION.
SO IF WE'RE NOT ALL IN AGREEMENT, THERE, THERE, THERE IS ALWAYS GONNA BE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
EACH AND EVERY CASE, THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR A YES OR A NO.
UM, WE STILL SAW AN ISSUE, SO WE STILL PUSH THIS TO GET THIS TO, TO THE BOARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
SO THAT IS THE OTHER REMEDY WE HAVE AVAILABLE IN WHICH WE UTILIZE.
UM, I, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE BUILDING, UM, THE CHIEF BUILDING, UM, INSPECTOR ON THIS, BUT THIS IS WHERE WE LANDED AND THIS IS HOW WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS CASE.
WELL, IT, OH, YOU KNOW, JENNY, THIS IS NOT THE, I I, I GUESS AT OUR NEXT, UH, BOARD MEETING, THE, THE, UH, FULL BOARD MEETING, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY EXPLAIN WHAT IS THE NOMINATION THAT YOU'RE USING.
IS IT NOT USING IF 90% WERE TEARING 'EM DOWN OR IS IT 2%? THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THERE THAT HE HAS TO GO BY.
WHAT I'M GONNA THIS TO THE BOARD, THIS IS LEGAL.
WHAT I'M GONNA SUGGEST, UH, MR. MR. CHAIR AND, AND MR. AND THIS IS YOU HOLD ONTO THIS PROPERTY AND, AND RECALL IT, PUT A LITTLE PIN IN IT, AND OUR NEXT MEETING, WHAT YOU CAN DO IS IF YOU'D LIKE, WE CAN HAVE, UM, A BUILDING INSPECTOR COME IN AND, AND LET HIM TELL YOU WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT AND WHAT HE, HE USES IN REGARDS TO MAKING THAT DETERMINATION.
THE, THE, THE PROBLEM THOUGH IS THAT, UM, WHAT WE'RE ASKING STAFF TO DO IS GET INTO THE MIND OF THIS BUILDING INSPECTOR AND TELL US
[02:35:01]
NOT THE BUILDING INSPECTOR, WAS IT BUILDING INSPECTOR? JENNY? I'M SORRY, I DON'T MEAN YEAH, INSPECTOR.IT'S THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR.
AND, AND DID MAKE THE DETERMINATION AS TO HOW HE CAME ABOUT OR SHE CAME ABOUT THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS.
AND I, I JUST DON'T KNOW IF, IF JEAN, I'M, I'M NOT ASKING.
I, I THINK, I THINK THE QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE IS A VALID QUESTION.
UM, AND I THINK THERE'S OTHER PERSONS ON THE BOARD THAT THINK IT'S A VALID QUESTION.
UM, BUT I I, I, I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO DO SPECIFICALLY THIS PROPERTY, BECAUSE WHEN I SAW THAT IT LOOKED PRETTY BAD TOO, LET'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, A BIG BOARD MEETING LET'S, YOU GUYS CAN REQUEST THAT WE HAVE THAT CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR ON AND WE CAN, WE CAN ASK HIM.
AND BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE FIRE MARSHAL'S GOING BY A DIFFERENT CODE THAN WHAT WE ARE SEEING ON OUR, OUR OWN CODE.
LET'S, LET'S PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA AND BRING HIM IN AND HAVE HIM EXPLAIN SO WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT.
AND, AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FULL BOARD AGENDA, NOT, NOT NEXT BS I'M BOARD AGENDA.
THE NEXT FULL BOARD MEETING, UM, AND, AND, AND MR. HARPER AND, AND, AND, AND MS. BROWN.
I THINK THOSE, THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A, A GOOD THING.
'CAUSE I, I DO KNOW THAT, UM, MR. NELSON HAS HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.
I DO KNOW THAT, UM, MR. ANDES HAS HAD QUESTIONS AND I'M SURE SOME OF THE OTHERS, I THINK MR. TAP HAD A QUESTION ABOUT IT AT ONE POINT IN TIME OR ANOTHER.
SO I, I THINK THEY'RE VALID QUESTIONS, BUT, SO WE CAN, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND OUT THE ANSWER AS TO THAT.
WE MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH IT, BUT YOU CAN AT LEAST UNDERSTAND THEIR, THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS IN, IN COMING TO THE CONCLUSIONS THAT THEY HAVE.
'CAUSE UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED.
YOU KNOW, AND, AND EVERY TIME IT SEEMS TO BE A DIFFERENT OUTCOME.
I, I WOULD, I I WOULD, I I THINK IT'D BE FAIR TO SAY THAT EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT, BUT AGAIN MM-HMM.
I I THINK IT'S A, I THINK IT'S A FAIR QUESTION.
UM, BUT I THINK, UH, THE BEST WAY FOR US TO, TO, TO GET AN ANSWER WHETHER WE AGREE WITH THE ANSWER OR NOT, BUT TO GET AN ANSWER, AN INFORMED ONE IS, IS BY ASKING THAT BUILDING INSPECTOR OR ONE, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
WELL, AND THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO ASK SOMEBODY TO COME ON.
WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE THE RIGHT ANSWERS BECAUSE WE, WE'RE NOT THE ONES THAT COME UP WITH THAT, THAT, THAT DETERMINATION.
AND ONE OF THE BEST TIMES IS DID THEM FOR ALL OF US ARE THERE.
AND WITH THAT I, I'LL TABLE THAT SUBJECT UNTIL THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, THE FULL BOARD MEETING.
BUT ON THE OTHER PART THAT WAS ADDRESSED EARLIER, THE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SENT OUT, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DONE BY THE 31ST.
I DO BELIEVE OF MAY, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.
AND IF YOU LOOK IN THE BUILDING STANDARDS AREA WHERE IT SAYS APPLICATION, IT ACTUALLY TELLS YOU BUILDING STANDARD BOARD, AND IT EVEN BLOWS YOUR APPLICATION UP BY DISTRICT.
IF YOU GO BACK IN THERE AND RESUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION ON THE LAST TWO PARTS, IT HAS, WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE? UH, PLEASE PROVIDE A NARRATIVE.
WHAT I DID, I AM REAPPLYING BECAUSE I HAVE A NEW CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR X MANY YEARS.
SO THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD PUT ON YOUR APPLICATION WHEN YOU FILL IT OUT.
AND THAT, THAT'S TO MR. HARPER, BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T HAVE ONE FILLED OUT RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? RIGHT.
JENNY IS GOING TO, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT JENNY IS GONNA MAIL US ALL THE APPLICATION.
'CAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, I THINK BEFORE YOU CAME ON, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
AND UM, JENNY SAID SHE WAS GONNA MAIL, EMAIL EVERYBODY AN APPLICATION SO THAT THEY CAN, IF THEY HAVE A, A NEW COUNCIL PERSON.
SO I'VE ALREADY DONE MINE AND SENT IT IN.
I'VE ALREADY DONE MINE AS OF THE 30TH.
I'VE DONE MINE MAY 30TH, AND MY COUNCIL WOMAN'S ALREADY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THAT SHE'S GONNA APPROVE IT.
THAT'S ALREADY IN THE PIKES FOR ME.
AND WHO'S YOUR COUNCIL? WHO'S YOUR COUNCIL PERSON? UH, IT'S SISTER.
I, THAT SISTER, THAT'S A GRAVY SISTER.
THE MEETING THE OTHER NIGHT, THEY DIDN'T INVITE YOU, THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONS? OH YEAH, WE HAD A MEETING.
YOU WEREN'T THERE? NO, NOT YET
[02:40:01]
BECAUSE SHE'S TAKEN OFFICE AND I JUST GOT THE CALL THE OTHER DAY LETTING ME KNOW THAT SHE'S OFFICIALLY IN OFFICE.DO WE, UH, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS DO WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ON THIS MEETING? YEAH, I HAD A ONE BRIEF, ONE MORE.
I DON'T KNOW IF, UH, PHIL WAS ABLE TO, UH, MAKE CONTACT WITH ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS.
I KNOW WE HAD THAT BIG LONG BREAK, UM, LAST MONTH, BUT, UM, MY, MY BOSS FELLINI IS NO LONGER WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
UM, HE ENDED UP TAKING ANOTHER JOB WITH ANOTHER CITY AND SO HIS, IT, I, I DON'T KNOW.
GOOD TIMING, BAD TIMING OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN.
UH, IT COINCIDED WITH THIS LONG BREAK THAT WE HAD OVER, OVER, UH, THIS PAST MONTH.
SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE EVERYBODY A HEADS UP ON THAT.
SO I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW IN CASE, UH, ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY INQUIRIES COME UP ON THAT.
SO WERE YOU, WHEN THAT, UH, AD WAS PLAYING EARLIER, WAS THAT KIND OF LIKE LETTING US KNOW THAT YOU WANT ONE OF US TO TAKE THAT JOB OR
WHERE IS AMANDA TODAY? WHERE IS AMEN TODAY? I'M SORRY? WHERE IS AMANDA TODAY? AMANDA.
MR. TOMAS IS, UM, I BELIEVE HE HAD A BUDGET, A BUDGET MEETING.
UH, WE'RE RIGHT NOW KICKING OFF ALL OF OUR BUDGET, UH, BUDGET ITEMS. YEAH.
SO YES, IT WOULD BE A VERY BIG MEETING FOR HIM TO BE PULLED AWAY FROM THIS.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BIG MEETINGS, SO YES, MA'AM.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS? NO, SIR.
WITHOUT OBJECTION THEN WE ARE ADJOURN ADJOURNED.
