ALFONSO MARTINEZ, THE OWNER ON B C A PROVIDED ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE TO CONDUCT AN INSPECTION.

UH, THE LIEN HOLDER HAS PROVIDED A LETTER, UH, TODAY.
UM, BUT THERE IS NO FINANCIAL MEANS OF, UH, CREDIT OR ENGINEERS REPORTS OR BIDS.
THERE ARE NO SCHOOLS WITH A THOUSAND, WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF 10 22, UM, SANTA MONICA.
AND WE DO HAVE SS A P D HERE TO SPEAK ON, UH, SOME OF THE, UH, CRIMINAL ASPECT OF THE PROPERTY.
SO GO LOOK AT OUR PHOTOS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
UH, YOU SEE THAT PIECE OF PLYWOOD ON THE PORCH THAT'S BEEN REMOVED.
UM, AGAIN, THE, THE, SO LET ME JUST CLARIFY.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE ITSELF IS IN PRETTY FAIR CONDITION.
UM, IT'S THE REAR ROOM ADDITION THAT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON.
ROOF COVERS IN, IN, IN FAIR CONDITION.
THIS IS THE REAR PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS, UH, OR THE REAR PORTION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
UH, YOU SEE THAT THERE'S SOME PLYWOOD THERE, UH, NOT PROTECTED WITH WHERE THE PROTECTION, UH, IT'S BEEN BEGINNING TO SHOW, UH, SIGNS OF BEING WORN.
UH, IF YOU LOOK DOWN THERE TO THE BOTTOM, THERE IS, UM, CINDER BLOCK WITH, UH, SHIMS. NEXT SLIDE.
SEE AN EXTENSION CORD COMING OUT OF THE REAR.
THAT BACK ROOM, YOU CAN SEE THE BACK THROUGH THAT WINDOW.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SOME TYPE OF UTILITY ROOM THAT
[00:15:01]
THE OWNER BUILT.UM, IT IS FULL OF, UH, MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. NEXT SLIDE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THERE THE CINDER BLOCK THAT'S, UM, BEEN ADDED THERE, SOME SHIMS TO THE FOUNDATION.
UM, THAT PORTION IS, UM, AGAIN, NO PERMITS WERE OBTAINED.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HERE WHERE THE SHIMS WERE ADDED TO THESE, UH, CONCRETE POSTS.
YOU SEE THE, THE GREEN, UH, WALL COVER THERE.
UM, THIS IS THE AREA THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS THAT REAR ROOM ADDITION.
UM, I KNOW YOU'RE ALSO SEEING A LOT OF ITEMS IN THE PROPERTY.
UH, WE DO HAVE SOME OTHER CASES REGARDING THE CONDITIONS OF THE EXTERIOR PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, UM, AND A ZONING CASE THAT'S BEEN FILED, UH, AGAINST THE OWNER FOR SOME AUTO REPAIR.
YOU CAN SEE A CRACK IN THE, UH, LANDING BEFORE ENTER ENTERING THE STRUCTURE.
THE OWNER HAS, UM, ADDED SOME CONCRETE.
HE REPORTS SOME CONCRETE IN THERE.
AGAIN, NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN PULLED, UM, OR ENGINEERS THAT ARE PROVIDED.
UM, HOWEVER, THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE OF THE LANDING, SEPARATING FROM THE STRUCTURE, NOT, UH, ANY SIGNIFICANT, UM, FOUNDATION ISSUES.
THIS PHOTO'S TAKEN FROM THE INTERIOR, FROM THE KITCHEN AREA.
SO LOOKING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE BEHIND ME IS THAT ROOM ADDITION THAT I WAS SPEAKING OF.
WE ARE RE UM, THERE IS, UH, EXCUSE ME, THERE IS NO WALL, UH, FLOOR COVERING.
UM, THIS IS A ABSORBENT FLOORING, SO IT NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED.
UH, EITHER SOME TILE LIUM NEEDS TO BE, UH, PUT ONTO THE FLOOR TO PROTECT THE FLOOR FROM DETERIORATION.
THERE WERE SOME, UH, MISSING WALL COVERS.
UM, YOU CAN SEE SOME SHEET ROCK HAS BEEN DONE.
UH, SHEET ROCK WORK HAS BEEN DONE.
UM, THERE IS NO GENERAL REPAIR PERMIT THAT HAS BEEN OBTAINED.
SO ON UH, SEPTEMBER 15TH WHEN I RETURNED TO DO AN INSPECTION, YOU CAN TELL HE HAD, UH, DONE SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL SHEETROCK WORK.
UM, THAT BACK DOOR THAT YOU SEE, THAT GLASS, UM, THAT DOOR WAS ADDED RECENTLY.
IT'S A NEW DOOR AGAIN, NO, NO, UH, PERMIT THAT WOULD REQUIRE GENERAL REPAIR PERMIT.
AND THAT IS THE BACK ROOM THAT WE'RE SPEAKING OF.
SO I WANTED TO SHOW THIS SLIDE AGAIN BEFORE WE ENTER, BEFORE WE SHOWED THOSE PHOTOS OF THAT, THAT THE INTERIOR OF THAT BACK ROOM.
IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, UH, IT'S USED BEING USED AS STORAGE.
THERE IS A LOT OF EXTENSION CORDS.
THERE'S SOME YELLOW REAL MIX THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT PERMITS.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE DOOR THERE, YOU CAN SEE THE NATURAL, UH, LIGHT, UM, COMING THROUGH THE, UM, THE DOOR THERE.
UM, IT'S NOT A PROPER HEADER, UH, EITHER, UH, ABOVE THE DOOR.
UM, MS. CHAIR, I'M JUST NOW FINDING OUT THAT, UH, THE OWNERS ARE HERE AND THEY ARE SPANISH SPEAKERS.
WE DO HAVE AN INTERPRETER THAT IS TRYING TO CATCH UP, BUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS ADJUST AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO HEAR AND UNDERSTAND WHAT UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS PRESENTING.
UM, SO THEY HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING ON.
WHAT DO THEY NEED? I MEAN, IS IT SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR THEY NEED? UH, I, I I, I DO BELIEVE THE INTERPRETER WITH THEM.
UM, I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT INTERPRETER IS PREPARING THEM TO, TO HEAR THE TRANSLATION.
UM, I WOULD ASK THAT WE JUST GIVE THEM A FEW MINUTES JUST TO LET THEM, UM, GET SET UP.
UM, AND THEN WE MIGHT NEED TO DO A, JUST A SUMMARY, A GENERAL SUMMARY OF WHAT, WHAT HE HAS ALREADY SAID SO THEY CAN CATCH UP.
WE DO WANT MAKE SURE THAT THEY, UM, UNDERSTAND THEY SHOWED UP A LITTLE LATE AFTER, AFTER WE HAD ALREADY STARTED.
SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE NEEDING TO GO BACK A LITTLE BIT.
CAN THE INTERPRETER LET US KNOW WHEN WE CAN CONTINUE? YEAH, HE WILL.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE IS BACK DOOR.
[00:27:01]
OKAY.[00:27:01]
RAM PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE RECORD.UM, SO AGAIN, LOOKING AT THIS PHOTO, UH, WE SEE NATURAL LIGHT COMING IN THROUGH THE, UM, THE HEAD OF THE DOOR AND ABOVE THE TOP PLATE, UH, RIGHT BEFORE THE DECKING.
AND THEN TO THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A WINDOW.
ALL THAT WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT PERMITS.
YOU CAN SEE SOME ELECTRICAL WIRES OVER THERE.
UM, THE EXTENSION CORDS ARE GOING INTO THE MAIN STRUCTURE, SO THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE CONCERN, UH, FOR ANY TYPE OF FIRE HAZARD.
THAT LIGHT THAT HAS AN EXTENSION CORD GOING INTO THE MAIN, UH, YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF ITEMS THAT ARE IN THIS BACK ROOM.
IT AGAIN, TO USE THE STORAGE, YOU CAN SEE THE, UM, THE ORIGINAL WALL COVER THERE, UH, WITH THE, THE LIGHT FIXTURE THERE THAT'S HANGING IN THE, THE, THE COVER TO THE ROOF.
UM, AGAIN, IT'S ATTACHED TO THE, TO THE ORIGINAL MAIN PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
SO IT'S CLEARLY A ROOM ADDITION.
NOW LOOKING AT THE REAR GARAGE, UM, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, UH, IT'S, IT'S JUST BEEN MADE UP OF DISCARDED MATERIALS.
UM, OLD PLYWOOD, UH, OLD DOORS, WINDOWS, NEXT SLIDE.
AND YOU SEE ALL THE DISCOLORATION IN THE WOOD MEMBERS.
UM, THAT'S DUE TO LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION.
UM, AND TO THE AGE OF THAT LACK WEATHER PROTECTION, UH, DETERIORATED IN THE WOOD MEMBERS.
YOU SEE THE ROTTING HERE IN THE WALL COVER THAT.
SO PLATE JUST RESTED ON GRADE, VERY DETERIORATED.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE NATURAL LIGHT IN THE BACK, POORLY CONSTRUCTED.
THE CEILING JOISTS ARE TWISTING AND SHOWING SIGNS OF ROT.
THERE'S WATER DAMAGE TO THE DECKING.
YOU GOT INSULATION COMING OFF.
AND A CLOSER VIEW OF THE, UH, THE DETERIORATION OF THE WATER DAMAGE, UH, DUE TO, UH, UM, UH, TO THE WA UH, EXCUSE ME, TO THE PARTICLE WOOD.
TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 10 22 SANTA MONICA IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT SASKATCHEWAN 56 SUBSECTIONS TO THE MAIN ARE 2 5 7 8 11, 12 15.
AND TO THE ACCESSORY 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREAFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, OR PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS, UH, REPAIR TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE WITH DEMOLITION TO THE REAR ROOM ADDITION AND DEMOLITION TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 10 22 SANTA MONICA.
[00:30:02]
THAT'S A DARK CASE.SO, UM, I, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, AFTER LOOKING AT THE PICTURES AND, AND REVIEWING THE, UH, MATERIAL, WHY WASN'T THIS JUST A DEMO? THE MAIN STRUCTURE ITSELF, UH, THE FOUNDATION IS FAIR CONDITION.
THE ROOF, UH, COVER IS IN FAIR CONDITION AND THE WALLS ARE IN FAIR CONDITION.
UM, NOWHERE IN THE HOUSE DID IT FEEL AS IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS.
UM, UH, ACCORDING TO OUR DEFINITIONS, UM, IS MAINLY THAT BACK ROOM ADDITION.
UH, THAT WAS A MAIN CONCERN PLUS THE, UH, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
AND SO DID YOU GIVE A NOTICE FOR THEM TO CLEAN IT OUT? THERE ARE SEVERAL NOTICES HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO HIM.
LIKE I SAID, WE HAD FILED A CASE FOR ALSO FOR, UM, AUTO REPAIR IN A RESIDENTIAL.
UM, HE'S BEEN ISSUED, UH, OR HE'S BEEN A CASE, HAD BEEN, BEEN FILED IN MINNESOTA COURT FOR THAT.
UM, HE'S BEEN ISSUED SEVERAL NOTICES TO CLEAN THE PROPERTY.
SO THIS CASE IS GONNA, YOU KNOW, THIS CASE IS GONNA BE, UH, UH, REROUTED TO US EVENTUALLY.
AGAIN, THERE'S ALWAYS THAT POSSIBILITY.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? OKAY, THANK YOU.
COULD ONE OF THE, UH, HOW MANY OFFICERS DO WE HAVE HERE? POLICEMEN? YEAH, WE HAVE, UH, TWO OFFICERS FOR THIS CASE.
IS IT TWO DARK CASES OR JUST ONE OR WHAT? WE HAVE TWO.
WE DO HAVE TWO OTHER TWO DARK CASES TODAY.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND, AND
STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR LOCATION FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
BOARD, UH, BOARD MEMBERS FOR THE RECORD.
I'VE BEEN A PART OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR 10 YEARS AND I'M CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO CENTRAL SAFE.
MY NAME IS KINIO FLORES, SPELLING, E J I N I O, FLORES.
AND I'M HERE 25 YEARS WITH THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND I ALSO WORK THE CENTRAL SAFE UNIT.
WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN, MA'AM? SAID WE'D LIKE ONE OF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO START ON THE, THE HOUSE PART OF THE DEMO, WHOEVER HAS THAT, OR IS IT, YOU ALL HAVE TWO DIFFERENT CASES HERE? YES.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? IS THAT BETTER? OKAY, GREAT.
UM, WE'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON THE CRIMINAL ASPECT OF THE HOUSE.
UH, WE HAVE THE RECORDS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS AND WE'VE RECEIVED WELL OVER A HUNDRED CALLS FOR THIS LOCATION.
AND THAT'S TO INCLUDE, UM, ABANDONED VEHICLES, PARKING VIOLATIONS, ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS.
AND, UM, WE HAVE RECEIVED THAT, UM, INFORMATION THAT HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS WERE STAYING IN THE BACK STRUCTURE AT ONE POINT.
I'M NOT SURE, UM, AS OF, UH, RECENTLY, BUT I DID SPEAK TO THE INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUALS STAYING THERE IN THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE.
AND I'M ON, I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN REFERENCE TO THE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD, THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, WE DO REPRESENT THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD AND, AND THE SAFETY OF THEM, UH, THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD'S IN FEAR OF THIS INDIVIDUAL'S BECAUSE HE HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT.
AND THERE'S, UH, DRUG ACTIVITY.
WE'VE, UH, WITNESSED NEEDLES, SYRINGES, AND, UH, ALSO TRANSACTIONS.
UH, AND THE, I HAVE ASSISTANCE WITH THE NARCOTICS UNIT, ALSO THE AUTO THEFT UNIT.
THEY HAVE RECOVERED SEVERAL STOLEN VEHICLES.
AND I PERSONALLY HAVE, UH, IMPOUNDED SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT HE SCATTERS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE HE WOULD HOUSE, UH, BETWEEN 13, 13 TO 10 TO 13 VEHICLES IN THE BACKYARD.
UH, IT, IT APPEARED TO BE A JUNKYARD.
AND, UH, AND THE CITY ALSO HAS ENFORCED THIS.
AND HE JUST, UH, IGNORES THE COURT DECISIONS.
AND, AND, UH, AND IN THE PAST, UH, APPARENTLY THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD ISSUES WITH HIM FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS.
AND NEXT DOOR, UH, ALSO THE NEIGHBORS IN FRONT AND, AND THE NEXT THEY'VE ALSO COMPLAINED.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE NUMEROUS CALLS.
AND, UH, THE, THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE AREA OR ALSO ELDERLY PEOPLE, AND THEY'RE ALSO IN FEAR JUST TO WALK IN FRONT OF THAT AREA.
'CAUSE HE HAS, UH, SEVERAL PEOPLE, UM, CONGREGATING IN FRONT OF HIS, HIS PLACE.
AND, UH, I'VE IDD SEVERAL AND I'VE ARRESTED SEVERAL TOO.
AND, UH, THERE, THE FEAR IS THAT HE, HE HAS NARCOTIC ACTIVITY AND HE'S ALSO MADE THREATS TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HE BELONGED TO A CARTEL, WHICH IS, UH, WE HAVEN'T FOUND THE INFORMATION.
HE'S BEEN INVOLVED IN IT, BUT HE USES THAT AS A THREAT.
[00:35:01]
QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICERS? I DO.YOU MADE COMMENT TO COURT ACTIONS.
HOW MANY DIFFERENT COURT ACTIONS HAS HE VIOLATED? UH, BELIEVE, UH, BASED ON THE PREVIOUS CODE ENFORCEMENTS, THEY'VE DARTED THIS PLACE SEVERAL TIMES.
AND, UH, THERE'S BEEN DECISIONS FOR HIM TO CLEAN UP THE PLACE AND HE DOESN'T.
AND, UH, HE JUST VIOLATES THAT.
AND, AND THAT'S WHY THIS IS CONTINUING ISSUE FOR US.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD CHAIR? I GOT SOME.
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SERVICE.
UM, AND I KNOW WITHOUT GIVING A TIMELINE, DART TAKES A WHILE ON THE INVESTIGATION.
DART HAS AN THAT'S CORRECT, SIR.
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON? PRIOR TO SIX EIGHT 2021? UH, DOCUMENTATION HERE, WE ONLY WENT BACK THE PAST TWO YEARS, BUT BASED ON THE NEIGHBORS AND EVERYTHING, AND CODE HAS BEEN PASSED THREE YEARS.
AND THERE HAS BEEN ALL KINDS OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.
I ONLY GOT, I WAS AWARE OF IT ONLY THIS PAST YEAR AND THIS, WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION.
AND THEN WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF, UH, OFFICER SEHA, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO ENFORCE THIS AND HAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD BACKED IN ORDER.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, MR. ZUNIGA? TWO.
OH, OFFICER, WOULD YOU COME BACK? ONE OF THE OFFICERS, WOULD YOU COME BACK UP PLEASE? WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FROM MR. ZUNIGA.
YOU STATE, YOU STATED THAT, UH, THERE WAS SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE IN THERE.
THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE THAT I BELIEVE THEY'RE REFERRING TO, UM, UH, I DID SPEAK TO AN INDIVIDUAL THAT DID TELL ME THAT HE WAS STAYING THERE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
UM, I CONFIRMED IT WITH THE OWNER AS WELL, OR THE RESIDENT.
AND, AND THAT WAS, UH, HOMELESS OR FROM OTHER COUNTRIES OR LIKE THAT? CORRECT.
THAT WAS A HOMELESS INDIVIDUAL THAT, UM, I ACTUALLY, UM, GAVE, GAVE HIM SERVICES AND TOOK HIM TO HAVEN FOR HOPE THAT DAY.
THE WHAT? I THINK, UH, MR. ANDERS HAS A, A QUESTION FOR CODE.
UH, CAN CODE COMPLAINTS COME BACK UP? YES.
THIS IS GOING ON FOR HOW LONG ON YOUR RECORDS BE BECAUSE IT'S ONLY SHOWING SIX EIGHT 2021 AND UP TO NINE 15 2021.
SO THIS JUST DIDN'T ALL OF A SUDDEN POP UP ON THE RADAR.
LET GETTA FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT.
WE HAVE, UH, IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, UM, NORMALLY IT'S KIND OF WHAT GENERATES A, A DART INSPECTION.
UH, IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE HAVE CLOSE TO 75 CODE VIOLATION CALLS.
SO, SO WHY ISN'T ALL THAT NOTED IN THE NOTES? SO THE, THE PREVIOUS CODE VIOLATIONS, UM, I MEAN, I COULD, I CAN ALWAYS BRING THAT UP.
I CAN, WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE PREVIOUS CODE VIOLATIONS, BUT A LOT OF THOSE VIOLATIONS, UM, ARE GONNA BE UNSANITARY PREMISE JUNK VEHICLES, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
MY PRESENTATION IS CONCENTRATING ON THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
SO, UM, THAT'S ONE REASON I DIDN'T BRING UP THE, THE SEVEN, FIVE, UH, CODE VIOLATIONS IN THE PAST.
BUT WE CAN ALWAYS MAKE THAT RECORD, UH, FOR PREVIOUS OR FUTURE, UM, UH, HEARINGS.
SO THE VIOLATION OF THE BUILDINGS AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF, AGAIN, DIDN'T JUST COME UP WITHIN THE PAST OR WITHIN THREE MONTHS.
SO THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECORD FROM WHEN THE BUILDING ACTUALLY STARTED TO BE AN ISSUE, NOT JUST, I I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
SO THE PREVIOUS CODE CALLS, RIGHT.
I, I, I THINK I, I, I FOLLOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, UH, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CALLS, UH, MAYBE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT BEFORE, UM, AND THOSE, THOSE, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED.
UM, WHEN WE, WHEN WE CONDUCT A DART INSPECTION, UM, A LOT OF TIMES IT'S ACCUMULATION OF THESE VIOLATIONS AND IT TAKES US TIME TO, TO BRING THESE CASES, UH, FORTH.
SO, UM, A LOT OF IT GOES INTO IT, UH, A LOT OF REVIEW AND HENCE WHY WE'RE HERE, UH, DUE TO THAT HISTORY.
UM, SO AT SOMETIMES, UM, IT DEPENDS ON THE PUBLIC WHEN THEY'RE, WHEN THEY'RE CALLING THOSE INSPECTIONS IN, HOW FREQUENT THEY CALL 'EM IN SOMETIMES MAYBE THEY'RE FURTHER SPREAD OUT WITHIN THE TWO YEARS, OR MAYBE THEY'RE MORE FREQUENT.
UM, SO, UM, BUT BASED, BASED UPON OUR, OUR TWO YEAR HISTORY, BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE WITH, UH, SS A P D, AND THEN DUE TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE STRUCTURE IS WHY WE ARE HERE.
[00:40:01]
WERE ALL FOR BASICALLY TRASHY PROPERTY AND OTHER, A LOT OF CALLS, JUNK VEHICLES, UM, AUTO REPAIR.UM, AND I DON'T HAVE THE ENTIRE LIST OF, OF, OF CALLS WITH ME RIGHT NOW, BUT LET ME SEE SOMETHING REAL QUICK.
SO THEN THE HOUSE POPPED IN, OR THE STRUCTURES POPPED IN WHEN, I'M SORRY, WHEN DID THE STRUCTURES START POPPING UP ON THE RADAR? UH, SIX EIGHT 2021.
AND, AND BOARD MEMBERS, JUST TO CLARIFY, UM, DART, WHICH STANDS FOR A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM, HAS TO HAVE A TWO YEAR HISTORY ON A PROPERTY.
ONCE THAT TWO YEAR HISTORY CODE CRIMINAL, OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH IS ESTABLISHED, THE DART UNIT WILL TAKE A, TAKE IT INTO CONSIDERATION.
AND IF THEY DO AN INSPECTION ON THE PROPERTY, ANY DART PROPERTY THAT COMES BEFORE THIS BOARD HAS AT LEAST A TWO YEAR HISTORY OF PROBLEMS ON THAT PROPERTY.
THOSE PROBLEMS WERE NOT ADDRESSED.
UM, WHICH IS WHY THE DART UNIT HITS IT ONCE THE DART UNIT MAKES A DETERMINATION AS TO HOW TO HANDLE THE PROPERTY, MOST LIKELY IS BROUGHT TO THIS BOARD.
UM, AND SO THAT'S WHAT BRINGS THE PROPERTY TO THE BOARD, IS WHAT IS FOUND AT THAT INSPECTION ON THAT DAY.
WHAT BRINGS THE PROPERTY'S ATTENTION TO DART IS THE HISTORY OF THAT PROPERTY AND THE NON-COMPLIANCE.
AND, AND WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS THE HISTORY IN ORDER TO KNOW WHEN CASE ACTUALLY STARTED, NOT, NOT PARTICULARLY WITH DART, BUT WITH CODE AND WHEN, WHEN, UH, EXACTLY DART STEPPED IN BECAUSE THIS CASE, YOU KNOW, WE COULD, WE COULD MAKE A RULING RIGHT NOW TO TEAR IT DOWN, BUT WE ONLY GOT LIKE TWO OR THREE MONTHS OF HISTORY OR, AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE, THE OWNERS OR WHATEVER.
THEY, WE NEED TO SEE THE HISTORY.
AND WE, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE IN THE, IN THE VERY, VERY BEGINNING OF THIS BOARD.
WE TALKED ABOUT HISTORY AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT HISTORY IS AND WHEN DID, WHEN DID CODE PICK UP THIS CASE AND WHAT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, IN BETWEEN, BECAUSE WE NEED TO READ THAT, DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THAT.
I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE, WE ARE CLEAR THOUGH, THE HISTORY ON THAT PROPERTY COULD BE SS A P M C VIOLATIONS WHERE IT'S BROUGHT TO THIS BOARD BECAUSE OF DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE ISSUES.
IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE BOARD SOLELY FOR SS A P M C ISSUES, WHICH MIGHT HAVE HAD THAT HISTORY.
WELL, WHAT WE CAN DO IS, I, WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PROVIDE YOU THAT CODE OR, OR EXCUSE ME, THE HISTORY.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO, TO REVIEW? BUT WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE REVIEWING RELEVANT HISTORY AND IF THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT TO YOU AS A DANGEROUS PREMISE.
BUT A LOT OF THE HISTORY IS SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE THAT DOESN'T RESPOND TO THAT HI TO THAT, UM, THAT STRUCTURAL CONDITION.
UM, WHAT WE DID NOT WANT TO DO IS, IS, IS BE UNFAIR TO ANY, ANY PARTIES INVOLVED THAT ARE LISTENING TO THE, UM, THE INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED.
COUNSEL, LET ME CLARIFY WHY I'M ASKING THE QUESTIONS.
THE BUILDING IN THE BACK STRUCTURE, THE ACCESSORY, ANY ONE OF THOSE INSPECTIONS SHOULD HAVE SHOWN THAT BUILDING AS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE, AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BOUGHT WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING A DARK CASE.
THE BUILDING ITSELF IS A DANGER ON A P M C THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT RIGHT AWAY AND PUT MAYBE FOREFRONT FOR JUST THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT FIRST.
'CAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS POPS UP AS THREE MONTHS WORTH OF WORK WHEN WE KNOW DARK IS TWO YEARS.
AND TO, WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING A DARK CASE, YOU COULD STILL TEAR DOWN THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE A LONG TIME AGO INSTEAD OF LETTING IT SIT THERE AND CONTINUALLY DILAPIDATED.
THAT'S, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION.
I, I, AND THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARITY.
SO A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE DO THE DAR INSPECTIONS, THE HISTORY, UM, IS ANOTHER REASON FOR SAFETY CONCERN.
IT'S WHY WE OBTAINED THE WARRANT TO GO ONTO THE PROPERTY.
ONCE WE ARE THERE, WE IDENTIFY THE PRESENT CODE VIOLATIONS.
AT THAT TIME, THAT'S WHEN WE IDENTIFIED THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
UM, THERE WAS ALSO A PRIVACY FENCE.
SO THAT COULD BE ONE OF THE REASON WHY IN, IN, IN THE PAST, MAYBE THE CODE VI, UH, CODE, UH, OFFICER COULDN'T SEE THAT, THAT, UH, GARAGE IN THE BACK.
UM, BUT ONCE WE GO IN, WE IDENTIFY THOSE CURRENT CONDITIONS, UM, HENCE WHY WE ISSUE THE NOTICE.
AND THEN IF THE OWNER DOESN'T REPAIR, THEN WE COME.
SO IT'S THOSE PRESENT VI THE PRESENT VIOLATIONS AT THE TIME OF OUR INSPECTION.
I, I, I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE, YOU'RE YOU'RE GETTING AT AS FAR AS THE, THE, THE HISTORY.
UM, BUT IT IS WHEN WE GET THAT WARRANT DUE TO THOSE CURRENT CONDITIONS, THE SAFETY CONCERNS, AND THEN ONCE WE GO IN, WE IDENTIFY THOSE OTHER VIOLATIONS.
[00:45:01]
UH, I DON'T, YOU KNOW, I, I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ALL ARE SAYING, BUT IN MY MIND, A DART CASE WARRANTS MORE THAN CLEAN UP YOUR PROPERTY OR, UH, S A S A P M C A DART CASE IS LIKE CONCERNS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO LIVE BY A DART PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY DANGEROUS WITH PROSTITUTION AND DRUGS.SO, IN MY OPINION, AND I'M NOT A CODE OFFICER, BUT I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH Y'ALL FOR A LONG TIME NOW.
THIS IS, THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEMOLITION CASE BECAUSE IT'S A DART PROPERTY.
AND FOR TWO YEARS WORTH OF HISTORY ON A DART CASE, IN MY MIND, THAT TELLS ME IT NEEDS TO GO NOT A CLEANUP, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS.
I MEAN, THE, UH, WE CAN TEAR IT DOWN, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO TEAR DOWN A PARTIAL DEMOLITION, UH, ON THE, THE, THE GREEN PROPERTY OR THE, THE PINK POP PROPERTY? THE REAR RENDITION? YEAH.
YEAH, WITH THE GREEN, THE GREEN ONE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GONNA TAKE A BULLDOZER AND GO AND JUST, YOU KNOW, CUT THAT PART OFF.
IT'S CRAZY TO ME, BUT, UH, I DON'T, I DON'T RUN THE BULLDOZER
I MEAN, I, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
UH, YOU KNOW, I JUST NEED YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PROPERTY AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIOLATIONS.
UH, THREE, WHAT WAS IT, A HUNDRED CALLS? THE LITTLE OFFICER, SHE SAID THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED OVER A HUNDRED CALLS.
YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY HAD A HUNDRED CALLS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY'D BE OUT.
AS IT'S OUT NOW, IT WOULDN'T BE A CLEANUP.
MADAM CHAIR, POINT OF ORDER, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE GO AHEAD AND HEAR THE ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY, AND THEN THE BOARD AT THAT TIME CAN MAKE A DECISION.
UH, BASED ON THE INPUT OF EVERYONE.
SO, UH, I GUESS, DO WE HAVE, UM, THE OWNER, OR WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SPEAK HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO WANTS TO BE FIRST THE OWNER OR THE, THE, UM, WHO DO WE HAVE HERE? THE OWNERS AND THE REALTOR.
SO, SO THE OWNER, WHO'S THE OWNER? MARTINEZ.
I CAN'T READ THIS WRITING HERE.
MOST OF IT IS, UH, SOME OF IT IS, I, I BELIEVE IT'S MR. MARTINEZ.
COULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? LF MARTINEZ, SANTA MONICA.
MY NAME IS ALFONSO MARTINEZ, AND I LIVE AT 10 22 SANTA MONICA, COULD YOU SHARE THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE? OKAY.
AND MY ADDRESS, I LIVE AT 10 22 SANTA MONICA.
IS HE THE OWNER OR THE, THE RENTER? I'M THE OWNER.
BECAUSE YOU LIVE WITH THE RENTERS? MM-HMM.
WHY? I'M THOROUGHLY CONFUSED NOW, BECAUSE THE OWNERS, THE RENTERS ARE, MR. MARTINEZ IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
BUT WE HAVE TENANTS DOWN HERE TOO, AS, AS WITNESSES.
IT SAYS TENANTS, AND THEY LIVE AT THE SAME ADDRESS.
UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE CONFUSED.
BUT MS. MARTINEZ IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
AND WHO IS, UH, NICHOLAS? MM-HMM.
SOMEBODY OR RATHER? I, I, I, I'M ACTUALLY THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MORTGAGE IN THE BEAN HOLDER OF THE PROPERTY.
HE CAN STATE HIS CASE, PLEASE.
PARDON? HE CAN STATE HIS CASE.
[00:50:01]
TO ME, IT STARTED EIGHT YEARS AGO BECAUSE, UH, GOD ABOVE, HE SPOKE TO ME AND I HELP, I'M HELPING ALL THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMELESS.EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME STARTED EIGHT YEARS AGO WHEN GOD ALMIGHTY, UH, SPOKE TO ME.
I'VE BEEN HELPING PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP.
SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN SEE LOOKS REALLY, IT LOOKS REALLY BAD, BUT IF IT WERE SO BAD, THE F B I AND THE HEAD OF NARCOTICS, AND EVERYBODY WOULD BE IN THERE ON, UH, ASSESSING THE SITUATION.
SO THE NEIGHBOR THAT LIVES NEXT TO ME, HE'S INVESTED A LOT OF MONEY INTO HIS HOUSE.
THERE'S THINGS ARE IN DISARRAY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? YOU WANT ME TO SELL NARCOTICS? I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT.
SO THAT HASN'T IMPEDED ME FROM HELPING PEOPLE.
PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP, THEY GO TO MY HOUSE.
THEY GO AT ONE OR TWO IN THE MORNING.
IF THEY NEED FOOD, I GIVE THEM FOOD.
IT'S ALL STOPPED NOW BECAUSE THE, UH, LADY OFFICER, SHE HELPED ME.
IT'S, IT'S NOT IN MY HEART TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY, BUT IT'S BEEN STOPPED.
I SET UP A, UM, IRON FENCE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN'T COME IN AND KNOCK ON MY DOOR,
SO IF, IF SOMEBODY COMES AND FACES ME, COMES TO ME, I HAVE TO HELP 'EM.
BUT NOBODY'S LIVED IN THE BACK.
CAN WE, UM, ASK, UM, THE OWNER TO, LET'S START FOCUSING ON, ON THE PROPERTY, ANY YES.
ANY, ANY, ANY, UM, UM, ACTION HE HAS FOR THE ACTUAL PROPERTY AND THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
TELL HIM HE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON THE PROPERTY.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE HEAR ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE AND, AND HOW GOD TALKED TO HIM.
WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE ACTUAL PROPERTY.
AND WHY IS PROPERTY LIKE IT IS? I'M, I'M WORKING ON IT.
I, SO I'VE DONE WORK AND EARNED, UH, INCOME, BUT I'M DOING IT LITTLE BY LITTLE.
THAT ROOF THAT YOU SAW THAT FELL IN? I'VE, I'VE STARTED FIXING THAT.
SO I'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK COMPARED TO WHAT IT USED TO BE.
SO, THE GARAGE THAT'S OPEN, I WAS GONNA REMODEL IT, BUT MY REAL ESTATE AGENT TOLD ME, DON'T REMODEL IT.
IS THAT ALL HE HAS FOR HIS CASE?
[00:55:01]
OH, DID HE BRING ANY PICTURES IN SO WE COULD SEE, OKAY, ALL I NEED IS TWO MORE MONTHS AND I'LL BE, I'LL MAKE A NICE GARAGE.DID HE BRING ANY, UH, RECENT PHOTOS HE'S DONE? NO.
SO WHAT YOU, WHAT YOU, WHAT WAS SPOKEN ABOUT ALL THE ACTIVITY AT NIGHT? THAT'S, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN I'M DOING THE REPAIRS AND I'M DOING THE CLEANING ON MY PROPERTY.
DID HE BRING ANY PICTURES IN? NO, I, I DIDN'T BRING PICTURES 'CAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF WORK.
BUT I, I CAN BRING YOU PICTURES.
IT, IT, THE DAY WAS THE DAY HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING ALL THAT STUFF.
AND THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN ON 6 8 21.
SO HAS THERE BEEN ANY, ANY TYPE OF IMPROVEMENT TO THIS BUILDING HERE IN THE BACK? SO THE REAL ESTATE AGENT HAS TAKEN PICTURES OF THE KITCHEN THAT'S BEEN, UH, FIXED.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WEREN'T PROJECTED TODAY.
WELL, YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE TO GIVE THOSE PICTURES TO THE LADIES UP HERE.
SO WHEN YOU GO INTO MY HOME, WHEN YOU ENTER MY HOME, THE ENTRANCE THAT I RETELL THE FLOOR, IT'S NEW FLOOR.
IS THAT ALL HE HAS FOR HIS CASE? SO THE LADY OFFICER, SHE HAD SEEN MY HOUSE BEFORE AND SHE'S SEEN IT NOW AND SHE COULDN'T GIVE HER TESTIMONY ON THAT.
UH, SHE DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
ASK HIM THIS, THAT SHE'S PRESENT.
SHE SAW IT WITH BEFORE AND SHE SAW IT.
DOES HE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO? THAT'S ALL.
OH, WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS HERE.
UH, DID HE EVER, UH, PULL ANY PERMITS FOR ALL THIS WORK? THE TILE, UH, FOUNDATIONS THAT HE PUT ON THERE IN THE BACK ROOMS NEED PLASTIC? NO, BECAUSE I DIDN'T PUT TILE.
I PUT LIKE A PLASTIC, A VINYL IT WELL IN REGARDLESS.
WAS THE WORK THAT HE DONE THERE, THE REPAIRS, THE ADDITIONS, ET CETERA, DID HE PULL ANY PERMITS FROM THE CITY? NO.
OH, WAS HE IN? OH, WAS HE IN VIOLATION BY NOT DOING SO? NO.
THE OFFICER TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO TAKE OUT PERMITS FOR EVERYTHING THAT I WAS GONNA REPAIR.
BUT WHAT, WHAT HE, WHAT I'M ASKING, MA'AM, IS UP TO NOW WHAT HE HAS, UH, SORT OF, UH, BUILT AND PROVEN IN HIS HOUSE.
DID HE OR NOT TAKE OUT PERMITS?
[01:00:02]
I DID TAKE PERMITS OUT FOR THE WINDOW AND FOR THE KITCHEN.WE'LL TALK TO THE COURT OFFICER, SEE IF HE RESEARCHED IT.
S I'M PUTTING AN IRON FENCE AROUND MY HOME AND IT'S HIGH SO THAT PEOPLE CAN'T TRESPASS.
NO, BUT I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE PERMITS THAT HE TOOK OUT.
WHICH WERE THEY TO PUT A FENCE UP IN THE BACK WITH WOOD? I TOOK A PERMISSION, A PERMIT.
I, I, I GUESS WE'RE NOT UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER.
WHAT I ASKED, WAS THERE ANY PERMISSIONS FOR THE BUILDING OR CAN I, UH, MADAM CHAIR, CAN I SPEAK TO STAFF? UH, YES.
TO THE COURT OFFICER? YES, HE'S RIGHT THERE.
DANGEROUS PERMIT OFFICER RO GURA FOR THE RECORD.
THERE IS NO PERMITS BEEN PULLED.
WHEN I MET WITH HIM, I EXPLAINED TO HIM HE NEEDED TO OBTAIN PERMITS AND HE HAS NOT DONE SO, SO HE, SO HE HAS NOT PULLED ANY PERMITS.
WHAT? OH, YOU HAVE, OH, HE HAS SOMETHING.
CAN WE SEE SLIDE 10? OH, MINUS SLIDE 10.
SO THAT ONE, IT'S, IT'S, UH, GONNA BE THE FIRST SECTION OF THE GREEN BOARD.
I'M NOT SURE WHY IT IS SHOWING 101 ON THOSE.
DID YOU EVER PULL A PERMIT FOR FOUNDATION STRUCTURE, FRAMING, ROOFING, PLUMBING, AND ELECTRICAL? WHEN I BOUGHT THE HOUSE, IT ALREADY HAD A FOUNDATION IN IT.
FOUNDATION? I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT WAS A QUESTION.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE, THE, UH, THE ADDITION.
SO WHAT HE'S SAYING IS THAT THAT ROOM WAS ALREADY THERE.
I, THAT WAS THERE AND I WAS GONNA TEAR IT DOWN.
I TOOK SOME, UH, UHHUH, LIKE THE, THE STEEL THAT YOU SEE THERE.
THE OFFICER TOLD ME I HAD TO TEAR DOWN ALL THE GREEN PART ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK.
RIGHT? YOU DIDN'T BUILD THE WASHROOM? MM-HMM.
COMPLIANCE GAVE TESTIMONY THAT YOU BUILT THE WASHROOM WITHOUT A PERMIT.
THE HOUSE HAD, UM, A WASHROOM IN IT.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN LIVING THERE?
[01:05:01]
FIVE OR SIX YEARS.UM, THAT'S NOT FIVE OR SIX YEARS WORTH OF WEAR AND TEAR ON THAT BUILDING.
AN OFFICER OF THE CITY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO, TO BUILD A STORAGE.
NO, THAT I COULD BUILD THE STORAGE 10 BY 12 WITHOUT A PERMIT BECAUSE IT WAS STORAGE.
I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE INTERPRETER, NOT
DURING, THERE'S PERMIT OFFICER RA.
I DIDN'T ADD IT 'CAUSE WE WEREN'T BRINGING IT TO THE BOARD.
UH, FOR LESS CONFUSION, THERE'S A LITTLE SMALL SHED.
IF HE BUILT, IF HE BUILT SOMETHING THERE, 10 BY 12, IT'S NOT REQUIRED TO BUY A PERMIT.
ANYTHING OVER 300 SQUARE FEET IS REQUIRED TO HAVE A PERMIT.
I THINK THIS LITTLE SHED, WHATEVER THAT IS, IT'S, IT'S IRRELEVANT TO THE CASE.
MY CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM IN THAT BACK ROOM EDITION, HE SAID HE BUILT THAT FOR STORAGE AS AN APPLIANCE ROOM.
AGAIN, THAT YELLOW RIX IS NOT CONNECTED.
HOWEVER, THAT YELLOW MIX DID NOT EXIST WHEN THIS HOUSE WAS CONSTRUCTED.
SO WE KNOW THAT THAT IS, UM, A NEWER MATERIAL THAT IS USED FOR ELECTRICAL.
UM, IT SHOWS HIM AS THE OWNER SINCE 2017.
JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, SINCE WE'VE GOT THIS UP HERE.
NOW, WILL YOU SHOW ON THE MAP, BECAUSE IT IS BEING TAPED, WHERE THAT SHED YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS, IS THAT THE PINK ONE? NO, THIS IS THE ONE.
HE BUILT A 10 BY 10 OR 10 BY 12.
IT'S IRRELEVANT TO THE CASE, BUT BECAUSE IT'S BEING INTRODUCED.
PULL THE BOTTOM AND HE HIT THE BUTTON.
THERE'S A LITTLE SHED RIGHT HERE.
IT IS FULL OF STUFF, BUT I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T PUT IT ON HERE JUST TO, SO THERE'D BE LESS CONFUSION.
WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE, ON THE, ON THE ROOM ADDITION AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND THEN THE MINOR REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE TO THE BATHROOM FLOOR, TO THE ELECTRICAL PLATES.
HOWEVER, THERE'S NO PERMITS THAT HAVE BEEN OBTAINED.
THE LANDING WAS SEPARATING FROM THE MAIN, UM, AGAIN, LIKE I MENTIONED IN MY REPORT, THAT THAT LANDING IS MORE SEPARATION BY THE LANDING, NOT SO MUCH THE FOUNDATION.
THE FOUNDATION WAS NOT ON LEVEL.
IT WAS FAIR AND FAIR CONDITION.
UM, NOW AS I MENTIONED, THERE HAVE BEEN NO PERMITS.
THERE WAS A WROUGHT IRON FENCE THAT HE HAS.
UM, IF HE'S CONTINUING CONTINUING THAT WITH THAT, UM, WR IRON FENCE, HE WOULD HAVE TO OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR THAT AS WELL.
UM, AND AGAIN, NO REPAIRS, NO PERMIT FOR NO GENERAL REPAIR.
IF WE GO TO ANOTHER SLIDE WHERE IN THE KITCHEN THERE IS A NEW, UM, FRENCH DOOR THAT WAS INSTALLED AFTER OUR DART INSPECTION.
HE DID NOT OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR THAT.
AFTER WE, AFTER AT THE DART INSPECTION, I NOTIFIED HIM ANY WORK THAT'S DONE NEEDS TO BE, HE NEEDS TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT FOR THAT GENERAL REPAIR WOULD COVER THAT DOOR.
THAT WOULD COVER WINDOWS, THAT WOULD COVER SHEET ROCK AND THOSE KIND OF ITEMS. YOU DON'T NEED A PERMIT FOR TILE WORK OR CABINET CABINETRY, BUT YOU DO NEED TO WORK FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS.
HE SAID HE WANTED TO SAVE THE ROOM.
UM, AND I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS PORTED CONSTRUCTED.
IT'S IN, IT'S, IT'S NOT IN GOOD CONDITION.
UM, SO AGAIN, HE DIDN'T GET THE PERMITS FOR IT.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
[01:10:01]
YES.WE HAVE HEARD REALLY FOR BOTH PARTIES THAT WE'RE GONNA GO BACK AND POST.
ASK HIM THE PROPERTY OWNER, WHAT DOES HE WANTS TO DO WITH THE ORDER TO REPAIR AND THE ORDER TO DEMOLISH.
BUT I MEAN, DOES HE WANT TO REPAIR, AS WE HAVE STATED HERE AS AND THE PAPERWORK HERE AND THE DEMOLITION OF THE ROOMS, ACCESS ACCESSORIES AND ALL THAT.
DOES HE WANT TO REPAIR OR WHAT IS WE WANT HIM TO REPAIR? WELL, THE CITY WANTED TO REPAIR AND DEMOLISH.
THEY'D ALREADY INFORMED ME NOT TO REPAIR, TO DEMOLISH.
AND I'LL DO IT NOT TO, NOT TO REPAIR, NOT TO DEMOLISH.
YOU SEE, I'M SORRY WE'RE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
BUT HE DIDN'T BRING A SCOPE OF WORK AS THE INVITATION, AS R THE ESTIMATE.
I HAD ALREADY TOLD THE OFFICER THAT I WAS GONNA CLEAN AND THEN I WAS GONNA TAKE A PERMISSION OUT AND THEN I WAS GONNA DEMOLISH THE GARAGE AND THE PART AND BACK.
WHAT PART IN THE BACK? THE GARAGE.
THAT THE HOUSE, THE HOUSE HAS THE GARAGE.
THAT ACCESSORY BUILDING ACCESS.
IS THAT YOUR GARAGE? GARAGE? UHHUH.
THAT HAS TO BE DEMOED ALONG WITH THE WASHROOM.
UH, I STARTED CLEANING AND ONCE EVERYTHING'S CLEANED, THE YARD IS CLEANED.
THEN THEY'RE GONNA TAKE PICTURES AND THEN I WILL DEMOLISH, I'LL START THE DEMOLITION.
DOES HE UNDERSTAND THE BACK PART OF THE HOUSE HAS TO COME OFF? YES.
I, I BELIEVE THE CITY WILL DO THAT.
WE, I DON'T THINK, UH, I DON'T THINK WE WANT HIM TO DO IT, BUT THE CITY WILL DO THAT.
HE HAS THAT OPTION, HOWEVER, TO DO THAT IF HE WANTS TO.
BUT, UH, I, I DON'T THINK THAT'S, UM, APPROPRIATE FOR HIM TO BE DOING.
BUT HE ALSO HAS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT TO DEMO TO DEMO.
MS. CHAIR, I, I, I WANNA MAKE SURE WE ARE CLEAR.
THERE HAS BEEN NO ORDER, NO MOTION.
SO I, I I, I WOULD, I'D ASK THAT WE REFRAIN FROM ALREADY TALKING THAT HE HAS TO DO SOMETHING WHEN THIS BOARD HAS NOT MADE, UH, AN, A MOTION TO, TO DO ANYTHING YET.
THIS SHOULD BE THE TIME WHERE YOU ARE ASKING QUESTIONS AND GAINING INFORMATION SO YOU CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION WHAT TO DO.
BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE'S ONLY BEEN A RECOMMENDATION BY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
WHO'S THE NEXT PERSON TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE? UM,
[01:15:01]
SAN JUANA MARTINEZ.IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
SHE DOESN'T WANNA SPEAK CHAIR FOR THE RECORD.
SHE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING TODAY.
AUGUSTINE ESTRADA, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UH, GOOD MORNING, UH, CHAIRMAN AND UH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
I'M GONNA BE A SPOKESPERSON AND AGENT FOR MR. ESTRADA.
UH, HE'S ACTUALLY MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, BUT I HAVE 40 YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE AND I ALSO HAVE, UH, 18 YEARS WORKING WITH THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
UM, BASICALLY HE IS THE LIEN HOLDER IN THE MORTGAGE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS.
UH, WE RECEIVED, UH, HE RECEIVED A LETTER DATED, I BELIEVE, SEPTEMBER, UH, THE 17TH.
AND FORGIVE ME, I FORGOT MY CHEATERS, BUT, UH, BASICALLY, UH, HE WAS NOTIFIED TOO AS BEING THE LIEN HOLDER AND MORTGAGEE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.
HE WAS NOT THE PROPERTY OWNER.
UM, WHEN HE RECEIVED HIS NOTICE, UH, WE CONTACTED THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICE TO SEE, UH, WHAT OUR RIGHTS ARE INTO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT SINCE HE IS NOT THE PROPERTY OWNER.
BUT, UH, AFTER DISCUSSION WITH THEM AND CHECKING THE OLD HANSON RECORDS, CHECKING THE NEW SYSTEM THAT'S IN PLACE NOW WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO PERMITS EVER OBTAINED FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS DONE TO THIS HOUSE.
UH, PREVIOUSLY SINCE HE SOLD IT TO THESE INDIVIDUALS.
I MYSELF TRIED TO MAKE A ONSITE INSPECTION TWO WEEKS AFTER HE RECEIVED THE NOTICE, BUT WAS DENIED PERMISSION TO GET TO THE BACKYARD TO CHECK OR TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE OR THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
AND OF COURSE, BASED ON MY CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE, I KNEW A DEMOLITION PERMIT NEEDED TO BE ATTAINED.
I LOOKED AT SOME OF THE EXTERIOR SIDING, THE EVE OF THE PROPERTY.
I TOLD, UH, THE LIEN HOLDER THAT UH, WE JUST GOTTA FIGURE A WAY OF TALKING TO THE INDIVIDUALS AND TELL 'EM THAT HE'S LOSING HIS INTEREST INTO THIS PROPERTY AND THAT'S WHY HE'S HERE TODAY.
UH, WE NEVER GOT ANY RESPONSE, OF COURSE.
AND, UH, WE SPOKE TO OUR ATTORNEYS AND THEY SAID, UH, BASICALLY YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS.
ONE, COME TO THE BOARD AND MAKE YOUR PRESENTATION STATING THE FACT THAT IN ORDER FOR US TO RETAIN THAT INTEREST BACK INTO THE PROPERTY AND DO THE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY MUCH DO A FORECLOSURE, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET BACK ONTO THE PROPERTY ITSELF.
BUT OF COURSE, MR. ESTRADA WAS STILL TRYING TO WORK WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS UP TO TODAY AND WE FELT THAT WE NEED TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD TO TELL 'EM OUR INTENTION WAS IF THEY WEREN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REGULATIONS AND THE ABATEMENT OF ALL THE VIOLATIONS THAT EXISTED, THEN YES, ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE CALL THE EVICTION.
UH, BUT OUR ATTORNEY SAID THAT WOULD TAKE A PROCESS ABOUT OVER SIX MONTHS, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST.
BUT WE WANNA GIVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO THESE OWNERS AND WE'RE KIND OF BE ACTUALLY GRATEFUL THAT THEY SHOWED UP TODAY.
'CAUSE WE WERE UNDER ASSUMPTIONS.
WE NEVER GOT A RESPONSE OR ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THEY WERE GONNA APPEAR BEFORE THIS BOARD TO OUTLINE WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY, UH, BUILDING REGULATIONS THAT OURSELVES WOULD BE THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
'CAUSE WE WILL RETAIN THE PROPERTY BACK.
BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE A LENGTHY PROCESS TO DO THAT.
AND THEN, UM, REINVESTED TO THE PROPERTY, DO ALL THE NECESSARY DEMOLITIONS.
MYSELF, I'M A REGISTERED GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND I'M A STATE LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, UM, WAS GONNA HELP HIM THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DOING ALL THAT PERMITS, PLAN REVIEWS, INSPECTIONS, WORK WITH CO COMPLIANCE, JUST TO ENSURE THAT THIS PROPERTY'S BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE SO THAT HE CAN RETAIN BACK THE INTEREST THAT HE HAD INTO THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
BUT AGAIN, UM, WE WERE UNDER ASSUMPTION THAT NOBODY WAS GONNA SHOW UP TODAY, BUT OF COURSE THEY DID.
UM, IN MY OPINION, BASED ON THAT FACT, THEY NEED TO GIVE YOU GUYS, UH, A SCOPE OF WORK.
UH, HIS ATTENTION, HIS TIMEFRAMES LICENSE CONTRACTORS PERMITS TO, UH, BRING EVERYTHING TO CODE.
OTHER THAN THAT, IF SOMETHING CANNOT BE RESTITUTED OR RESTITUTION MADE, THEN WE HAVE NO OPTION AS BEING THE LIEN HOLDERS TO, UH, BASICALLY HAVE THEM EVICTED SO THAT WAY WE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY OURSELVES.
[01:20:01]
NUTSHELL THAT'S, THAT IT'S PRETTY DETAILED MORE IN THIS SCOPE, BUT IT IS, LIKE I SAID, I'VE GOT MY CHEATERS AND UH, I JUST, YOU KNOW, COULDN'T READ IT VERBATIM.BUT, UH, I ALREADY TALKED TO CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND I TOLD 'EM WHAT OUR INTENTIONS WERE.
WE THOUGHT THAT, UH, THEY WERE NOT GONNA SHOW UP.
AND AGAIN, BEING THE LIEN HOLDERS, WE ONLY GOT NOTIFICATION DATED SEPTEMBER THE 17TH.
AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUES WERE.
AND THEN WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CASE FOR OVER TWO YEARS.
BUT OF COURSE, BEING THE LIEN HOLDER, UH, WE DIDN'T GET NOTIFICATION TILL THIS WAS GONNA APPEAR BEFORE THIS BOARD TODAY, BUT WE WOULDN'T HAVE INSURANCES THAT US AS BEING THE LIEN HOLDERS AND THE MORTGAGE HOLDERS THAT, UH, WE WILL BE THERE.
BUT HOPEFULLY, UH, AFTER HEARING HIS TESTIMONY THAT HE CAN GIVE YOU SOME KIND OF A GAME PLAN, ACTION OR RESPONSE TO QUICKLY RECTIFY AND DO WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO DO TO BRING THIS PROPERTY TO QUESTION TO, TO CODE.
WHO DENIED YOUR ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY? APPARENTLY IT WAS A GUY DOING THE FENCE IN THE FRONT YARD AND HE SAID HE WAS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
AND I TOLD HIM, BASICALLY, AND THIS IS VERBATIM, I SAID, I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE MORTGAGE COMPANY, THE LIEN HOLDER, MR. AUGUSTINE ESTRADA.
HE ASKED ME TO GO CHECK OUT THIS VIOLATION, NOTICE THAT HE RECEIVED IN MAIL FROM, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO SEE WHAT OUR RECOURSE IS TO, UH, DO ON THIS PROPERTY.
SO WHAT I WENT UNDER THE PROPERTY, I IDENTIFY MYSELF AS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND, UH, REPRESENTATIVE MR. ESTRADA AND I NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY TO, TO ASSESS THE DAMAGES THAT NEED TO BE DONE.
AND THEN OF COURSE, WITH MY CONSTRUCTION KNOWLEDGE, DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF PERMITS ARE GONNA BE NEEDED.
AND NUMBER ONE, I KNEW ALREADY THAT I NEEDED A DEMOLITION PERMIT.
AND THEN I SAID, UH, SO I TALKED TO THE GUY, HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR HE WAS DOING.
AND UH, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, MY OPINION, THAT SHOULD HAVE REQUIRED A PERMANENT TOO.
DOES MR. ESTRADA HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT HE IS INDEED THE LANE HOLDER? DOES HE HAVE A NOTE OR MORTGAGE? NO, I DON'T.
YOU DO NOT HAVE PROOF OR YOU DO NOT HAVE PROOF WITH YOU? HOLD ON, LET HIM GET UP.
ANSWER, UH, AND HIS NAME IN THE RECORD.
AND, UH, TO YOUR QUESTION, SIR, NO, I DO HAVE PROOF.
YOU ALSO NEED TO GIVE US YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS 5 45 MORRISON BOULEVARD, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
SO, SO WHO IS MR. MARTINEZ? IS HE BUYING THE PROPERTY FROM YOU OR YOU OR WHO? FROM HIM? YES, SIR.
AND YOU ARE THE LIEN HOLDER FOR, FOR MR. ESTRADA? I'M A WORK, I'M AN AGENT WORKING FOR MR. ESTRADA.
OH, YOU ARE? LIKE A REALTOR OR SOMETHING? REALTOR OR SOMETHING? I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
SO YOU ARE HIS AGENT? YES, MA'AM.
AND MR. MARTINEZ IS BUYING THE PROPERTY FROM YOU? THAT IS CORRECT.
BUT WE GOT, WE ONLY GOT INVOLVED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, AND THAT'S WHY WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE HIS VESTED MADAM CHAIR FOR THE, FOR THE PROPERTY.
WE HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION DOWN HERE, MR. SURE.
UH, COULD WE ASK A QUESTION OF STAFF, OF OUR ATTORNEY? UH, DOES THE ORDER GO WITH THE PROPERTY, WITH THE LAND? SO, SORRY.
THE, THE, THIS ORDER RUNS WITH THE LAND.
IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE? NO.
MADAM CHAIR, I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE POLICE OFFICER, PLEASE.
UH, WHILE HE'S COMING UP HERE, WHO IS ERICA SEHA? THOSE ARE THE OFFICER'S NAMES.
QUESTION FOR YOU WAS, I, I HEARD THE, THE WORD WEAPON.
UH, CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE WEAPON DISPLAY? WAS THAT THE OWNER OR WAS IT SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE OWNER? WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN? I HEARD THE STATEMENT.
WHO DISPLAYED THAT WEAPON? DON'T RECALL.
UH, WE TESTIFIED TO ANY WEAPON BEING DISPLAYED, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN, UH, CALLS FOR SHOTS FIRED AND, UH, ASSAULTS AT THAT LOCATION AND ALSO ROBBERIES.
THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.
COULD COME AND TAKE THE PODIUM.
[01:25:01]
YOU.SO NOW THIS IS YOUR PROPERTY, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, YES, MA'AM.
SO THE, THE, UM, BRING UP, I THINK IT WAS, UM, HOLD ON.
NUMBER, WOULD YOU BRING UP 10 SO EVERYBODY CAN SEE IT? OKAY.
THIS GREEN PART HERE? YES, MA'AM.
WAS THAT ON IT? WHEN YOU, UH, WHEN YOU OWNED, WELL, SINCE YOU OWNED THE PROPERTY, WAS THIS PART ON HERE WHEN YOU RENTED IT TO MR. MARTINEZ? HONESTLY, MS. BROWN, I DON'T RECALL.
IT WAS IN 17 WHEN I SOLD HIM THE PROPERTY.
THE, I'M SORRY, IT WAS IN 2017, 2017 WHEN I SOLD THEM THE PROPERTY.
WELL, I GO THROUGH A LOT OF PROPERTIES.
WELL, YOU KNOW, HOW DID, DO YOU EVEN EVER GO AND CHECK YOUR PROPERTIES TO SEE WHAT KIND OF CONDITION THEY'RE IN? UH, NO MA'AM.
ONCE I SELL 'EM AND OWNER FINANCE 'EM, IT'S UP TO THE PROPERTY OWNER TO MAINTAIN HIS HOUSE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS HERE? THANK YOU.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION? OH, I'M SORRY.
UM, WE JUST CONFIRMED THAT THROUGH, UH, RESEARCH GOOGLE EARTH WENT BACK AS FAR AS 2016.
THAT A RE EDITION'S NOT THERE.
SO HE DID PUT IT UP THERE? YES.
SO DO WE HAVE A MOTION HERE, DWAYNE? LOOKS LIKE HE'S GETTING READY TO DO A MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10 22 SANTA MONICA IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
UH, AND PORTIONS OF IT IS FEASIBLE OF BEING REPAIRED.
THE MAIN ITSELF SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH ALL PERMITS, UH, REQUIRED.
THE ADDITION OF THE UTILITY ROOM IN THE BACK SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED, AND THE, UH, ACCESSORY BUILDING SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED.
UH, AND THESE ARE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS A RESULT OF SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN 2 5 7 8 11 12 15.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15 AND 17.
AND THE, UH, DEMOLITION SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN 30 DAYS AND THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN TWO MONTHS.
HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE, MS. CHAIR.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO REMIND THE BOARD THAT, UM, NO MORE THAN 30 DAYS CAN BE PROVIDED IF THERE IS NO SCOPE OF WORK OR, UM, UH, SHOW OF FINANCIAL MEANS.
IF THIS, IF THIS BOARD BELIEVES THAT THE TESTIMONY BASED ON THE TESTIMONY YOU PROVIDED, UH, SATISFIES THAT, UM, SCOPE OF WORK, UH, REQUIREMENT, THEN YES, GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH, UH, THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT YOU ARE ALLOWING.
BUT ABSENT THAT, IT CANNOT BE MORE THAN 30 DAYS FOR REPAIR.
MADAM CHAIR, AMEND THE MOTION ON REPAIR AND DEMOLITION TO BE COMPLETED IN 30 DAYS.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY.
THE, THE, UH, MOTION READS, UH, THE MAIN SHOULD BE PREPARED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
THE UTILITY ROOM AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SHOULD BE DEMOED IN 30 DAYS AND REPAIRS MADE WITHIN 30 DAYS.
AND, UH, COULD WE HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO GIVE THE CODE OFFICER? THE CODE OFFICER WILL, UH, RECEIVE EVERY 30 DAYS SOME KIND OF NOTICE TO YOU ALL TO MAKE SURE THAT HE IS COMPLIANT.
THE AMENDMENT SHOULD BE LESS THAN 30 DAYS THEN, BECAUSE WE GIVE 'EM 30 DAYS TO ACTUALLY RE REDO THE REPAIR AND DEMOLITION.
SO IT NEEDS TO BE EVERY TWO WEEKS.
YOU WANT IT, IF YOU'RE GONNA ADD THAT, AND I DID NOT INCLUDE THAT AS MY MOTION, BUT IF IT WAS A FRIENDLY, THAT'S A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE 15 DAYS, NOT 30 DAYS.
SO WE HAVE A 30 DAY REPAIR WITH, UH, UM, INSPECTIONS EVERY TWO WEEKS.
WHAT, UM, DID YOU ALSO SAY WITH, UH, PERMITS, CORRECT? I DID.
[01:30:02]
SO COULD WE DO GET A ROLL CALL PLEASE? MS. BROWN? AYE.A MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF 5 2 0.
THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING IN.

UH, I LIVE AT 7 7 1 9 CARTWHEEL LANE.
[01:45:01]
UM, MY HEALTH IS DETERIORATING AND I, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE, THE POOR PEOPLE, THEY JUDGED, THEY WERE THERE HELPING ME CLEAN UP THE LOT.I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR TWO MONTHS, STABBED VIOLENTLY BY SOMEBODY THAT I DID NOT KNOW WHEN I CAME OUT.
THERE WAS HOMELESS PEOPLE LIVING IN MY HOME.
UH, AND IT'S HARD FOR MYSELF TO DO ANYTHING.
SO MY FRIENDS OR WHATNOT HAVE BEEN COMING TO HELP ME.
AND, UM, WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES FOR ME IS HOW CAN ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE WIRING WITHOUT ELECTRICITY? AND HOW CAN A PAINTER PAINT A WALL WITHOUT A WAY TO CLEAN HIS PAINTBRUSH? UM, I LEAVE EVERY NIGHT FOR THREE TO FOUR HOURS TO SEPARATE THAT, TO TRY TO COMPLY TO WHAT Y'ALL ARE ASKING OF ME.
I DO TO A FRIEND OF MINE'S HOUSE THAT LIVES ON THE FOLLOW THE NEXT BLOCK.
UM, WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES WITH, UM, SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT THEY BROUGHT UP.
THEY'RE, THEY WERE BROUGHT UP IN A WAY WHERE I NEED TO OBTAIN PERMITS.
THESE PERMITS I DON'T FEEL ARE, BECAUSE THESE ARE EXISTING PLUGS, OUTLETS THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN THEY CAME IN AND DID THE INSPECTION, I WAS EN ROUTE AND DOING AND, AND WORKING ON THESE, UH, AREAS.
THEY SAW A, A PLUG WITHOUT A COVER WHEN I WAS PAINTING THE WALL.
THEY SAW, UM, A LIGHT FIXTURE.
THE LIGHT KITS WERE, UH, TAKEN OFF FROM THE, UH, THE CEILING FANS BECAUSE I WAS WANTING TO PUT NEW LIGHTING IN IN THERE.
UM, THE, WHAT INITIALLY STARTED, THIS WAS MY OUTSIDE LIGHT.
THE WIRING WAS, UH, HANGING DOWN BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO HOME DEPOT.
I JUST BOUGHT THIS, UH, LIGHT FIXTURE TO INSTALL, AND I EVEN SHOWED IT TO 'EM.
HERE'S THE LIGHT FIXTURE THAT GOES THERE.
AND I WAS WROTE UP AND ASKED TO MAINTAIN A PERMIT FOR THAT.
UM, TO ME, IF THIS IS A ELECTRICAL OUTLET, AND I HAD NOT HAD ANY ISSUES OF BEING, UH, OUT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE HOW, HOW CAN I, I DO THIS WORK OR HAVE IT DONE WITHOUT THE ELECTRICITY, AND IT'S LIKE EVERY TIME I TURN AND I'M, I'M ABOUT READY TO MAKE PROGRESS.
UM, I'M, I'M SLAPPED WITH SOMETHING TO STOP.
AND THEY ASKED ME TO VACATE MY HOME.
AND IT'S BEEN MY CHILDHOOD HOME.
I INHERITED, I INHERITED THIS FROM MY PARENTS AND I'M TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF, UH, EVERYONE'S PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME.
AND MY, MY, HE, MY HEALTH IS, UH, GETTING WORSE.
UM, BUT I'M STILL, WE WANT TO COMPLY, MA'AM.
AND THE BOARD, WE'RE ASKING Y'ALL TO WORK WITH ME.
UM, I'M A, A LICENSED CONTRACTOR MYSELF, A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
I, I, UH, THROUGH ASSOCIATED BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS WHERE I MAINTAIN, UH, A LICENSE, UM, I DON'T SEE WHY MY 40 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE CAN'T COME INTO PLAY AND WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE.
UM, AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GONNA JUST PUT OUR HANDS UP AND PRAY TO GOD THAT Y'ALL SEE A GOOD MAN STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU AND A MAN WORTH WORKING WITH.
EXCUSE MY WIFE DID THE BEST SHE COULD TO CONVEY SIR, OUR PROBLEMS AND WHATNOT.
SIR, MA'AM, WHEN, WHEN YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR ELECTRICITY TURNED ON AND GET RID OF THE GENERATOR AND YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR WATER ON.
IS IS, UH, JUST TO PUT LIGHTING IN THE HOUSE? WELL, I MEAN, SOME LIGHT.
YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR ELECTRICITY TURNED BACK ON.
AND THERE'S NOT AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD AT THE MAIN AT THE TIME OR RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A WIRE NUTS ON THE, THE WIRES.
UH, I, I JUST, I HAD TO STOP UNTIL I OBTAINED THESE PERMITS.
Y'ALL ARE REQUIRING THAT WE'RE, THESE ARE EXISTING AREAS AND THERE WAS A, Y'ALL ARE ASKING ME TO ALMOST MAINTAIN A C OF O AGAIN FOR MY HOME, WHICH THIS ORIGINALLY, AND I'VE HAD, UH, CENTRAL AIR PUT IN THAT HOUSE.
I STILL HAVE THOSE PERMIT GREEN CARS, THE PLUMBING.
THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A PERMIT TO REPLACE MY SHOWER HEAD.
EVERY ONE OF Y'ALL HAVE REPLACED A SHOWER HEAD BEFORE, I'M SURE.
AND TO ME, UH, THE HOLE THAT YOU SEE IN THE
[01:50:01]
BATHTUB, IT, IT, IT WAS FROM, IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF A LEAK.BUT THE SHOWER HEAD IS WHAT INITIALLY WAS ROLLED UP FOR THE SHOWER HEAD.
AND YOU SCREW IT, YOU SCREW IT ON AND THAT'S IT.
CAN I SAY SOMETHING AND JUST, UH, BECAUSE HE JUST RECENTLY HAD, UH, HAD AN INCOME, RECEIVED AN INCOME JUST WITHIN THIS YEAR.
SO THAT WAS A LOT OF THE DELAY.
WERE YOU ABLE TO HEAR, UH, MUCH OF THE DELAY WAS BECAUSE OF, OF TO AFFORD THE WORK? WAS BECAUSE HE ONLY RECENTLY THIS YEAR, UH, HAD AN WE, WE JUST WANNA KNOW WHEN ARE YOU GONNA REPAIR, MAKE THE REPAIRS? THAT'S ALL WE WANT TO KNOW.
OKAY, MA'AM, WHAT ARE YOU GOING, Y'ALL ALLOW ME TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.
UH, I, I, I COULD DO IT A LOT QUICKER, BUT SEE Y'ALL HAVE A A, A STOCK WORK ORDER ON ME AND, AND YOU'VE KICKED ME OUTTA MY HOUSE BASICALLY FOR, FOR ISSUES THAT, THAT AREN'T, AREN'T AS BAD AS THEY THEY'VE WRITTEN DOWN.
UM, NOW THE, THE HOMELESS PEOPLE OR WHOEVER BROKE INTO MY HOME AND TRASHED IT OUT.
THAT'S BEEN MY BIGGEST PROBLEM.
'CAUSE I AIN'T HAD, UH, THE MONEY TO OBTAIN A, A, A DUMPSTER.
WHEN THESE, UH, TRASH TRUCKS COME AROUND, I FILL IT UP AND I, I, I'VE NEVER LIVED LIKE THIS BEFORE, BUT I CAME HOME AFTER BEING VIOLENTLY STABBED TO A TRASHED HOME THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ANY ONE OF US.
AND I'M, I'M A AND IT'S TERRIBLE.
ANY QUESTION? I'LL GET THIS DONE.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE, UM, COLORS? OKAY.
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING IN MS. BROWN.
NOT FOR THEM, JUST MR. RUSSELL.
AND ALSO MAYBE LEGAL CAN WEIGH IN, BUT CONSIDERING HIS SITUATION THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE INCOME AS OF RECENTLY, DO WE OFFER HARDSHIP FOR THE S A S A P M C UM, VIOLATIONS? YES, THERE ARE.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY, UH, WE GET 'EM WITH, UH, OUR, UH, HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THEY DO LOOK FOR ASSISTANCE FOR OWNERS THAT DON'T HAVE, UM, UM, SU UH, THE MONEY TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.
SO THEY JUST HAVE TO WORK WITH OUR, UH, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING, THE, THE HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
AND WE, WE DO ALWAYS TAKE, UH, A REPRESENTATIVE WITH US AND A REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE GOING BACK OUT THERE, UH, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE BOARD HEARING.
SO WE WILL BE REACHING OUT A CLARIFICATION ON THE ELECTORAL ISSUES.
THE ELECTORAL ISSUE, THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM WAS A HAZARD IN THE, WITH MULTIPLE EXPOSED WIRING POINTS WITH, UH, EXPOSED WIRING CONNECTIONS.
SO THAT'S WHY THE ELECTRICITY WAS DISCONNECTED, WAS DISCONNECTED FOR THAT HAZARD.
AND HE CONTINUES TO LIVE IN THERE FOR SAFETY.
SO PURPOSES, IT WAS DISCONNECTED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, LEMME ASK YOU THIS.
I SEE SOME PHOTOS WITH AN OFFICER IN THERE.
IS THIS A DARK CASE? YES, IT IS.
OH, THIS WASN'T NOTED AS A DARK CASE.
YES, IT WAS IN, IN VERY BEGINNING OF MY, UH, PRESENTATION.
I DID SAY IT WAS PART OF A, A DART ACTION.
SO WE ASKED, BUT YOUR WRITTEN NOTES, THE WRITTEN NOTES, THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE ABOUT A DART.
YOUR FIRST NOTE, YOUR FIRST NOTE IS SEVEN 13 2021.
AND, UH, AGAIN, UH, I PUT IT IN, UH, MY, IN MY PRESENTATION.
SO WE HAVE AN OFFICER OUT THERE.
YEAH, WE HAVE A POLICE OFFICER PRESENT INFORMATION.
I, I DIDN'T KNOW THE POLICE OFFICER WAS HERE BECAUSE I WOULD'VE, I WOULD'VE ASKED HIM TO SPEAK FIRST.
COULD, NO, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR, I BELIEVE THAT OFFICER FOR THIS ONE HYEN, IT MIGHT BE ON, ON STANDBY IN REGARDS TO A PHONE CALL.
THAT, THAT WOULD'VE ALERTED US RIGHT OFF THAT IT NORMALLY IN THE NOTES THEY HAVE DART.
BUT HE DID MAKE THAT AS A STATEMENT IN HIS TESTIMONY.
SO, WELL, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE, 'CAUSE I THOUGHT I DID HEAR YOU SAY THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT.
CHAIR, JUST FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES, UM, UH, THE DART UNIT DOES, UM, INCLUDE THE DEPARTMENT OF, UM, HEALTH SERVICES AND NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
BOTH OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS ASSIST IN NOT ONLY RELOCATING IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF HAZARD OR CONCERN, BUT ALSO, UM, LET THE HOMEOWNERS OR ANY INTERESTED PARTY KNOW OF, UM, SERVICES THAT THE
[01:55:01]
CITY CAN PROVIDE OR CONNECT THEM TO, TO ASSIST IN ANY TYPE OF, UH, ABATEMENT PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON THAT PROPERTY WHILE YOU'RE HERE.AND UNTIL WE FIND THE OFFICER, WAS THERE A HARDSHIP HEARING? UH, THERE WAS NOT A HARDSHIP HEARING.
UH, WHEN WE, WHEN WE DO OUR INSPECTIONS, WE DID HAVE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING WITH US.
SO THEY DID TALK TO 'EM AND THEY DID GET INFORMATION.
SO I, I UNDERSTOOD MR. KELLER TO SAY THAT HE WAS NOT LIVING AT THE PROPERTY.
UH, HE SAYS HE'S NOT LIVING AT THE PROPERTY.
WHEN WE DID AN INSPECTION, FIRST THING THING IN THE MORNING, THE LAST INSPECTION WE DID, HE DID SHOW UP TO THE FRONT DOOR IN, IN HIS ROBE.
AND, UH, WE HAVE EVERY INDICATION THAT HE IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS, UH, CALLED US AND LET THEM LET US KNOW THAT HE IS STILL LIVING AT THE PROPERTY.
SO WE HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE HE HAS LEFT.
AND THERE'S A, THERE'S A NEW MATTRESS AT THE PROPERTY IN ONE OF THE BACK BEDROOMS. THANK YOU CHAIR.
STAFF WILL BE ATTEMPTING TO CALL OFFICER HYEN TO TRANSFER HIM TO THE MEETING.
UH, WHILE WE WAIT, UM, IT'D BE OKAY IF WE TAKE A ANNOUNCE, TAKE A RECESS OR A FIVE MINUTE BREAK? YES.
UH, IT, THE TIME NOW IS, UM, 11:02 AM AND, UH, WE'LL TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK.
AND THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, UM, IS BACK IN ACTION.
ONE ADDITIONAL, WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF THE OFFICER NOW.
UH, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.
UM, WE'RE, WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR AN ORDER.
WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR THE ORDER TO, UH, REPAIR.
SO, UH, ONCE THEY GET PERMITS AND THEY MAKE THOSE REPAIRS, THEY CAN OCCUPY THE PROPERTY WHEN IT'S SAFE.
SO, UM, JUST WANNA MAKE THAT CLARIFICATION.
SO, UM, THE, AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE OFFICER ON RIGHT NOW.
OFFICER HYEN, ARE YOU ON THE LINE? OFFICER HYEN.
OFFICER HYEN, THIS IS JUDY KRUM.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? CHAIR THE CALL.
WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES GETTING THE OFFICER ON THE PHONE, SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GONNA MAKE THAT CONNECTION TODAY.
[02:00:09]
LEGAL, LEGAL QUESTION.I HAVE A QUESTION IF, CAN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CASE WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR THE OFFICER TO CALL IN? WELL, YOU HAVE TO RE DIFFERENT NO, IT WOULD BE UNUSUAL, BUT YOU CAN, UM, ARE, ARE, ARE WE SURE THAT THE OFFICER IS GOING TO CALL IN? 'CAUSE I DO BELIEVE WE GAVE HIM A, A FEW CHANCES.
DO WE, JUDY, DO WE KNOW THAT HE IS GONNA CALL IN? YES, WE DID HAVE HIM ON THE LINE.
IS THE DART OFFICER GONNA BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION ON THE CASE THAT'S BEYOND WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY TESTIFIED TO? HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY.
HE'LL JUST GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND ON TO WHY THE ACTION WAS A DART ACTION AND, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERN OVER THE PROPERTY.
DOES THE BOARD NEED THAT INFORMATION TO MAKE A DECISION? NO.
WHY DON'T WE JUST, WHY, WHY DON'T WE JUST, UH, SOMEBODY OFFER UP A, UM, A MOTION AND THEN WE CAN MOVE ON.
LENCIA, SHE GOT SOMETHING? WHO'S GOT SO NO, NO, GO AHEAD,
SO IF WE DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT TESTIMONY FROM BOARD'S TOTAL POINT OF OUR VIEW, I THINK THAT, I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE'S REFERRING TO, IS THAT, SO WE DON'T HAVE A FULL PICTURE.
SO WHAT THE BOARD, I DON'T THINK, UH, I I APOLOGIZE.
I I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT WHAT THIS BOARD CAN DO.
YOU CAN RESET THIS PROP, UH, THIS HEARING IF YOU'D LIKE.
UM, IF THIS BOARD DOESN'T FEEL THAT IT HAS FULL TESTIMONY, IF, IF YOU WOULD LIKE, WE CAN SET ASIDE THIS CASE, MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AND COME BACK.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THAT OFFICER IS THE ONE THAT THE OFFICER WHO'S MISSING IS THE ONE WHO'S, UH, CAN PROVIDE THAT TESTIMONY THAT YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE PICTURE OF THE SITUATION.
IS THERE ANY QUESTION THAT THE PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE, HAVE REPAIR WORK DONE? OH, NO, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
I THINK WE SHOULD JUST SET A, I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A MOTION AND JUST MOVE ON.
YEAH, I THINK AT THIS POINT WE SHOULD FOLLOW THROUGH BECAUSE AT THE, THE INFORMATION THAT THE OFFICER CAN PROVIDE IS JUST FOR THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY POSSIBLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I FEEL THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A GOOD IDEA BASED OFF OF MR. RUSSELL'S TESTIMONY AND THEN MR. KELLER AS WELL THAT WE CAN PROCEED.
SO, UH, SIDE SUGGESTED THAT WE HAVE A MOTION AND JUST MOVE ON.
IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SUGGESTING TOO? YES.
SO WE HAVE, LET ME BEFORE WE GO MOTION, THAT'S LEGAL.
IF WE GIVE THE REPAIR ORDER, CLEANUP ORDER, THEY ARE STILL UNDER MY UNDERSTANDING A STOP WORK ORDER.
IS THAT LIFTED SO THEY CAN DO THE REPAIRS? YES.
IF THIS, IF THIS BOARD ORDERS REPAIRS, ANY, UM, ANY PREVIOUS STOP WORK, UH, DIRECTIVE OR WHAT HAVE YOU WOULD BE, UM, UH, UH, WOULD BE NULL AND VOID.
'CAUSE THIS BOARD MADE A, A DETERMINATION AS TO WHAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN ON THAT PROPERTY.
BUT, UH, SO LET'S HAVE A, LET'S HAVE A MOTION.
WELL, WE HAVE A QUESTION FIRST.
WELL, THE, HE WOULD HAVE TO VACATE IN THE CONDITIONS THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOW ELECTRICALLY, FOR INSTANCE, THE MAJOR.
THAT, THAT WOULD BE IN THE ORDER, RIGHT? THAT'S ALREADY IN IT.
I THINK JUDY HAS SOME INFORMATION FOR US.
I BELIEVE WE MAY HAVE HIM ON THE LINE NOW.
OFFICER HYEN, CAN YOU HEAR US? PLEASE MAKE SURE HE KNOWS HOW TO MUTE.
OFFICER HYEN, YOU MAY NEED TO PRESS STAR SIX ON YOUR LINE TO UNMUTE.
OFFICER HYEN CHAIR, THE CALL DISCONNECTED.

UM, AGAIN, THE GLAZING HAS, UH, UH, BEEN BROKEN AND IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.
UH, THE, THE, THE WALLS, THE EXTERIOR WALLS ARE STUCCO.
AND THE ROOF IS SHOWING SIGNS OF, UM, BEING WORN.
UH, THERE WERE SOME WATER SPOTS ON THE INTERIOR.
YOU'LL SEE, UM, UH, ON THE INTERIOR CEILING, AS YOU'LL SEE IN, IN THE, UH, PHOTO PRESENTATION.
NEXT SLIDE AGAIN, YOU SEE HOW WORN THIS ROOF IS? THE ROOF COVER.
SO THIS IS LOOKING FROM THE INSIDE, UM, OF THE LIVING ROOM RIGHT BEFORE THE KITCHEN LOOKING OUT.
UM, THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT SAGGING TO THE ROOF.
UM, NOTHING THAT'S COLLAPSING.
UH, THE FOUNDATION'S IN FAIR CONDITION.
AND THIS WAS ON SEPTEMBER 15TH.
SO THERE ARE SOME WATER SPOTS IN THE SHEET ROCK.
I DO BELIEVE IT'S DUE TO THE POOR.
UM, CUT ROOF COVER NEXT SLIDE.
AND YOU CAN SEE SOME BUBBLING IN THE PAINT.
UM, SOME OF THE PEELING OF THE SHEET ROCK.
UM, AGAIN, I DO BELIEVE THAT'S DUE TO THE POOR ROOF CONDITION.
THERE ARE A COUPLE HOLES IN THE WALL IN THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
UH, AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTION ON THE 15TH AND OUR FIRST INSPECTION, THE, THE, THE SHOWER, THE F UH, FAUCET WAS NOT WORKING.
AND THIS IS LOOKING, UM, COMING FROM THE LIVING ROOM TOWARDS THE KITCHEN AREA, THE KITCHEN'S TO YOUR RIGHT, UM, THERE WERE SOME, UH, WALLS THAT WERE PATCHED UP, UH, THAT THEY PATCHED UP OR SOME, EXCUSE ME, SOME OF THE HOLES IN THE WALL THAT WERE PATCHED UP.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE GLASS SLIDING DOOR TOWARDS THE REAR, THAT'S HEADING OUT TO THE BACK WHERE THERE, WHERE THERE WAS A CARPORT CONNECTED TO THE GARAGE.
THIS IS LOOKING OUT THE, OUT OF THAT GLASS.
THIS WAS THE DAY OF OUR FIRST INSPECTION.
UM, YOU SEE THAT CARPORT, LOT OF WATER DAMAGE TO THE DECKING.
UM, IT'S STARTING TO, UH, DETACH FROM THE ROOF SYSTEM.
IT HAD, AFTER SOME RAIN, THE OCCUPANT SAID PART OF THAT, UH, DECKING DID COLLAPSE.
NOW THIS PORCH COVER WAS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE LEADS TO THE GARAGE AND A SHED.
THEY CONNECTED THE CARPORT, THE GARAGE, AND THE SHED.
THIS IS LOOKING FROM THE ALLEY.
IT IS A DRIVABLE ALLEY SINCE IT'S A, UM, DUPLEX.
UM, THERE GARBAGE COLLECTION IS FROM THE ALLEY WAY.
SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE'S MULTIPLE GARAGES.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT FRONT DOOR, UH, EXCUSE ME, THAT LITTLE DOOR THERE.
WHAT'S NEXT TO IT IS A DIFFERENT PROPERTY.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT THAT ONE.
OKAY? UM, BUT HOWEVER YOU CAN SEE IN THAT GARAGE, THE TAN GARAGE THERE, THERE'S SOME SAGGING TO THE ROOF.
YOU SEE THE SAGGING IN THE GABLE ROOF SYSTEM THERE.
UM, THAT IS DUE TO SOME OF THE BEAMS INSIDE, UM, CEILING JOISTS INSIDE THAT ARE BEGINNING TOLA, UH, TO, TO SAG.
AND I DO BELIEVE THEY, THEY, THEY APPEAR TO BE, UM, OVER EXPANDING.
YOU SEE THE DETERIORATION TO THE WOOD, UM, TO THE BEAM THERE.
THAT BEAM'S VERY DETERIORATED.
AND YOU SEE THAT SAGGING IN THAT ROOF, UH, THAT ROOF.
UH, THERE, UM, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THEY ARE DOING AUTO REPAIR OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE.
UM, I THINK ONE OF THE, THE OCCUPANT'S BROTHER TENDS TO DO AUTO REPAIR HERE.
UH, THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES THAT ARE PARKED IN THE STREET, UM, ON JACK'S, UM, S A P D HAS ADDRESSED THOSE, UH, VEHICLES, UM, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
UM, SO THEY'RE USING THIS GARAGE AS A REPAIR SHOP.
AND YOU CAN SEE THERE, UM, ANOTHER, UH, SLIDE THERE ON SEPTEMBER 15TH DUE, UH, WITH THE SAGGING TO THE ROOF AND DETERIORATION TO, AND DISCOLORATION TO THE WOOD MEMBERS ON THE EXTERIOR.
SO THIS IS LOOKING OUT THE, THE SLIDING DOOR TO THE LEFT.
THE GARAGE IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN, THAT CAR PART WAS, UH, THE PORCH COVER, BUT THIS IS TO THE LEFT.
YOU SEE THE HOLE IN THE WALL THERE, THE DETERIORATION TO THE, UH, WALL COVERING.
NEXT SLIDE AGAIN, A CLOSER REVIEW OF THE, THE, THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE.
AND YOU SEE THE NATURAL LIGHT COMING IN FROM THE GARAGE.
NOW YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY'VE TRIED TO, UH, ACCOMMODATE THE SAGGING WITH, UH, SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, UH, BEAMS OR, OR JOIST THERE.
UM, HOWEVER, IT'S BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.
THERE'S STILL A LOT OF SAGGING AND IT'S PRESSING DOWN ON THAT GARAGE DOOR.
UM, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE THOSE, UM, CEILING JOISTS ARE STARTING TO TWIST
[02:15:01]
AND SOME, UM, WATER DAMAGE TO THE DECKING UP THERE TOWARDS THE TOP.THEN ON THE 15TH, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ADDED A, UM, TWO BY FOUR TO TRY TO PREVENT SOME OR MORE OF THE SAGGING.
AND THIS IS THE, UH, JOIST OR THE BEAM THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S OVER EXPANDING AND THEY TRIED TO MAYBE SHIM UP ANOTHER, UM, UH, BEAM UP AGAINST THE ORIGINAL NEXT SLIDE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE NATURAL LIGHT COMING IN FROM THE WALL.
UM, ALL THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DONE OVER TIME.
IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT, YOU SEE THE, SOME ADDITIONAL FRAMING.
UM, THERE'S A TWO BY FOUR AND A TOP PLATE.
THE TOP PLATE IS NOT SUPPORTING ANYTHING NEAR.
IT'S JUST THERE TO, FOR A MAKESHIFT WALL.
THE, UM, ALLEY, THAT PORTION, IF YOU TURN TO THE RIGHT, IT WOULD LEAD YOU BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHERE A CARPORT, UM, ROOF COLLAPSED.
AGAIN, ANOTHER THAT'S ON SEPTEMBER 15TH.
TO RECAP, LOOK, THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 65 0 1 SPRING LARK IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN ARE 2, 5, 11, 12, AND 15.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY GARAGE 2 5 7 8 11 12 15, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS HEREAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH.
SAFETY, WELFARE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS, DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIRS TO THE MAIN AND DEMOLITION TO THE ACCESSORY GARAGE.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION TO OF 65 0 1 SPRING LARK.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? I DO.
OKAY, MR. UM, OFFICER GUERRA, I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, SINCE MAY HAVE YOU ALL BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM IF THE, WITH C P SS, IF THE UTILITIES ARE STILL ON AND IF THEY'RE LEGAL, THE, THE, THE UTILITIES ARE ON, UM, SOME OF THOSE EXTENSION CORDS YOU SAW, UM, WEREN'T REALLY POSING THAT MUCH OF A THREAT.
UM, THERE'S SOME YELLOW REALMS IN THE GARAGE, BUT WHEN I TESTED IT, IT WASN'T, THEY WEREN'T LIVE.
UM, SO THEREFORE THERE WAS NO NOTICE TO VACATE ISSUED.
I GOT MORE OF A CLERICAL QUESTION THERE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS BUILDING, YOU SAID IT'S A DUPLEX? YES SIR.
IT'S THE SAME ADDRESS? NO, IT'S A DIFFERENT ADDRESS.
THEN ON THE NOTES IT READS AS THE WHOLE BUILDING.
SO IT, IT, IT WAS HARD TO GET A GOOD EXTERIOR PHOTO OF JUST THAT PORTION THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
UM, WHERE THAT TREE ON THE LEFT, THAT SMALLER TREE, THAT'S WHERE THE OTHER STRUCTURE STARTS.
SO DOES THAT HAVE ADDITIONAL NUMBER LIKE 65 0 1 ALPHA OR BRAVO OR ONE OR TWO? IT WOULD BE 65 0 3 OR 65 0 5.
SO IT'S, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ATTACHED.
UM, BUT THEY'RE, THEY'RE DIFFERENT OWNERS.
'CAUSE WHEN I LOOKED AT THE CHART THAT YOU SHOWED THE MAP, IT SAYS THE SAME THING.
IT'S ALL ONE BUILDING, UH, ON THE MAP.
YEAH, YOU CAN JUST KIND OF SEE THAT.
BUT IF YOU WERE TO GO TO BCA, IT WOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT LEGAL DESCRIPTION.
IT WOULD BE, YEAH, A SEPARATE LOT SEPARATE OWNER AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE DISCOLORATION FROM THE ADJACENT ROOF, UH, COMPARED TO 65 0 1.
SO THAT'S THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT YOU KNOW WHERE PRETTY MUCH, AND THEN IF YOU GET CLOSER, YOU WOULD SEE THE, THE, THE SEPARATE SEPARATION ON WALLS.
THAT'S WHAT, WHEN I SEE THAT IT'S KIND OF GONNA THROW.
AND ON THE INTERIOR, YOU SAID THERE WAS SOME WORK BEING DONE.
THERE WAS SOME HOLES, THERE WAS SOME HOLES IN THE WALL, UM, SOME, SOME BROKEN SHEET ROCK, THAT KIND OF THING, WHICH THEY STARTED TAKING CARE OF.
UM, AND THEN THE SHOWER, UH, WASN'T WORKING.
UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS OCCUPANT, UM, THEY PAY THEIR RENT VIA THROUGH THEIR CHECKING ACCOUNT, HAVING NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE OWNER.
WE'VE TRIED REACH OUT TO THE OWNER, SHE'S IN FLORIDA, WE'VE UM, DONE AN EXTENSIVE UH, PHONE SEARCH AND ALL THOSE NUMBERS COME BACK DISCONNECTED.
UM, SO THERE HAS BEEN NO CONTACT WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER.
THE OCCUPANT SAYS SHE DOESN'T REALLY SPEAK TO THE OWNER.
UM, THEY JUST PAY THEIR RENT VIA ONLINE AND, AND GO ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS.
SOMEBODY GONNA BE PAYING SOMETHING.
YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? OKAY, THIS IS ANOTHER DARK CASE.
COME ON UP AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR WHAT, YOUR
[02:20:01]
WORK LOCATION.I WORK FOR THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT OUT OF THE PERU ROW SUBSTATION.
UM, DART WAS, UH, REQUESTED ME TO, UH, BE PRESENT AT THE LOCATION WHEN WE DID THE DART, UH, 65 0 1 SPRING LARK.
UM, WE DO NOT PERSONALLY HAVE A LOT OF CRIMINAL HISTORY FOR THIS LOCATION, BUT I COULD ELABORATE UPON THAT.
UM, UPON ARRIVAL TO THE LOCATION, WE DID TALK TO, UM, SOME OF THE OWNERS OR THE RESIDENTS LIVING IN THE, UM, LOCATION.
UH, UPON ENTRY, UH, WE DID PULL EVERYBODY OUT FOR SAFETY REASONS.
AND THEN WE DID A THOROUGH, UM, HISTORY ON WHO WAS IN THE LOCATIONS.
ONE OF THE PERSONS THAT WAS LIVING AT THE LOCATION IS CALLED OR IS A S T L GANG MEMBER.
THEY CALLED THEMSELVES A SPRINGTIME LOCOS.
UM, IN PROBABLY WINTER OF 2018, ONE OF HIS, UH, COHORTS DID SHOOT A SAN ANTONIO POLICE OFFICER.
SO I'M IMAGINING, UM, THROUGH MY EXPERIENCE IN TRAINING THAT DUE TO THE NATURE AND THE VIOLENT OF THIS, UM, GANG, THAT A LOT OF THE RESIDENTS HAVE NOT CALLED THE POLICE FOR THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY GOING ON.
UH, THIS IS A LOW INCOME, HARDWORKING RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THEY TEND TO MINE THEIR OWN BUSINESS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO GET THE POLICE INVOLVED.
UM, ONCE WE DID ENTER, UH, THAT LOCATION, UH, WE DID FIND NUMEROUS, UH, DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITHIN THE, UM, THE LOCATION AND THE PERSON THAT WAS THE, UM, GANG MEMBER ALSO.
UM, WE DID HAVE LIMITED SEARCH ABILITIES FOR, UH, THE, UM, LOCATION.
SO WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GO INTO ANY LOCK BOXES OR ANYTHING CLOSED.
UM, EVERYTHING WAS VISUAL IN NATURE.
UM, THROUGH THE INVESTIGATION, UH, THAT PERSON WAS EXTREMELY IRRITATED AND, UM, BECAME HIGHLY DISORDERLY AND HE WAS ARRESTED ON SCENE THAT DAY BY ME.
UM, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT FOR, UH, I DID RUN BY THIS MORNING AND UM, LIKE OFFICER GUERRERO SAID THAT WE WERE OUT THERE.
UM, THERE WERE A VEHICLE THAT WAS ON A JACKS STAND IN THE FRONT YARD WITH ONE OF THOSE ONE.
IT LOOKED LIKE ALMOST ONE OF THOSE MCDONALD PLAY TUBES ATTACHED TO THE ROOF.
AND IN BEHIND THE ACTUAL GARAGE, UM, THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS ALSO ON JACK STANDS BEING WORKED ON.
DO YOU KNOW IF THOSE BELONGED TO THE RENTER OR WHO WAS THE OWNER? UM, I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO ACTUALLY RUN THE LICENSE PLATE TO FIND OUT WHO THE CORRECT OWNER WAS ON THOSE.
IF THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTIONS NO, THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE IT FOR THE THANK YOU.
CAN WE GET A MOTION? I CHAIR, THIS IS DWAYNE NELSON.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6 0 5 SPRING LARK STREET, CORRECTION, NO CORRECTION, THAT IS THE CORRECT ADDRESS.
UH, IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE, UH, EIGHT OR CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6 SUBSECTIONS TO THIS PROPERTY, UH, FOR THE MAIN 2, 5, 11, 12, AND 15 FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
UH, AND THAT THE, UH, MAIN BE REPAIRED IN 30 DAYS WITH ALL PERMITS AS REQUIRED AND THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BE DEMOLISHED IN 30 DAYS.
UH, AND COUNSEL, LISTEN TO THIS PORTION OF IT TO MAKE SURE IT'S A CORRECT MOTION AND THAT IF THE REPAIRS ARE NOT COMPLETED IN THE 30 DAYS THAT THE PROPERTY BE VACATED.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
THE MOTION READS, UM, THE MAIN STRUCTURE, UH, TO BE REPAIRED IN 30 DAYS.
UH, AND THE VIOLATIONS ARE 2 5 11, 12 15 FOR REPAIR.
AND THE ACCESSORY IS A DEMO, A 30 DAY DEMO ON THE PORCH AND THE GARAGE PORTION OF THE, I THINK THE BACK SECTION AND THE, UM, VIOLATIONS WERE 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 13 AND 15.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION, ADDITION OF INFORMATION WAS THAT THE PROPERTY BE VACATED IF REPAIRS NOT VACATED, NOT COMPLETED IN 30 DAYS.
THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE VACATED WITHIN 30 DAYS IF REPAIRS ARE NOT MADE, IF REPAIRS ARE NOT MADE, IF REPAIRS ARE NOT MADE.
COULD WE GO TO ROLL CALL MS. BROWN? AYE.
[02:25:01]
AYE.A MOTION PASSES WITH A VOTE OF FIVE TO ZERO.
ALL THESE, THESE THREE CASES WILL COME RIGHT BACK TO US.
ESPECIALLY YOU CAN'T FIND, I KNOW.

THIS IS THE FRONT, THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
IT IS A CROSS CABLE, UH, GABLE ROOF SYSTEM, UM, WITH A, IT IS A TWO STORY WOOD FRAME STRUCTURE.
UM, IT IS AN ASPHALT SHINGLE COVERING THAT HAS DETERIORATED.
AND AS WE LOOK INSIDE THE STRUCTURE, YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS WATER DAMAGE TO THE, THE CEILING OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THERE ARE CRACKS TO THE MASONRY EXTERIOR WALLS OF THE PROPERTY, UM, UH, CAUSING, UH, THE, THE, UH, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE TO SHIFT.
THIS IS JUST A PICTURE OF THE TRASH AND DEBRIS.
UM, SHE DID HAVE A LOT OF, UH, MISCELLANEOUS, MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
THIS TIME, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE, UH, AROUND MORE, MORE INTO THE STRUCTURE AS SHE POSSIBLY REMOVED ABOUT 90% OF THE STRUCTURE FROM INSIDE OF IT.
BUT, UM, MOST OF THE PROBLEMS, AS YOU CAN SEE, SHE LEFT IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, AND SHE'S SLOWLY, UH, REMOVING THE, THE, THE TRASH AND DEBRIS.
THIS IS, UH, MORE TO THE RIGHT, UH, LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, JUST SHOWING THE VEGETATION COVERING THE EXTERIOR WALLS.
UH, SOME OF THE MASONRY EXTERIOR WALLS ARE CRACKED.
UH, RIGHT HERE IS THE, THE MORE OF THE VEGETATION COVERING THE EXTERIOR WALLS.
THIS SIDE, THERE IS A SLIGHT, UH, LEAN IN THE FOUNDATION, UM, THAT DUE TO POSSIBLE FOUNDATION ISSUES RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE IN THE, ONE OF THE FACIAL, ONE OF THE, THE ROOF SYSTEM.
YOU CAN SEE A HOLE RIGHT THERE, UM, DUE TO THE DETERIORATED ROOF SYSTEM.
THIS IS JUST, UH, THE, THE, UH, FRONT ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A CRACK ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.
IT'S A SUTA, UH, SUBSTANTIAL CRACK DUE TO THE FOUNDATION.
THIS IS THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE SHE HAS REMOVED.
UM, RIGHT THERE, YOU SEE WHERE THERE'S A LITTLE, UM, A LITTLE, UH, PATIO RIGHT THERE.
WAS SHE, UH, UM, PLYWOOD THERE COVERING IT, BLOCKING ANYBODY FROM ENTERING THE STRUCTURE.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE TRASH AND DEBRIS ON THE FLOOR.
YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE EXTENSION CORD COMING OUT THERE.
UH, YOU CAN SEE MORE WHERE SHE REMOVED THE, THE PLYWOOD.
AND, UH, UM, SHE, I GUESS SHE'S JUST TRYING TO REPAIR THAT.
[02:40:01]
THIS IS UNDERNEATH THE FOUNDATION.YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE, SOME OF THE FLOOR JOINTS ARE ACTUALLY, UH, IN THE BACK.
IT DOES HAVE A SLIGHT BOW ON IT DUE TO THE PO THE POSSIBLE, UH, FOUNDATION ISSUES.
THIS IS THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE, THE TRASH AND DEBRIS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE HAS, UM, THERE IS SOME, SOME STILL SOME TRASH AND DEBRIS ON THERE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE RUG IS DETERIORATED.
YOU CAN SEE THE HOLES IN THE, IN THE FRONT PORCH, THE EX INTERIOR LIGHT, THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS, LIGHT IS COMING IN.
NOW, AS WE WERE WALKING, ME AND S A P D WERE WALKING THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, WE NOTICED THAT THE FLOOR IS VERY SOFT.
UM, AS WE WERE WALKING, UH, YOU COULD TELL THAT THE SUBFLOOR WAS ACTUALLY SINKING IN A LITTLE BIT, JUST FROM STEPPING FROM THE WEIGHT OF BOTH OF US.
UM, SO THE FLOOR JOISTS AREN'T, POSSIBLY, AREN'T BEARING ANY WEIGHT FROM, FROM US DUE POSSIBLY DUE TO THE, THE FOUNDATION ISSUES.
NEXT PHOTO, UM, MS. DOYLE HAS REMOVED, UH, I COULDN'T EVEN GET INTO THIS ROOM THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE.
UH, SHE HAS REMOVED A LOT OF THE, THE, THE DEBRIS, UM, THAT WAS, THAT WAS BLOCKING, EGRESS AND EGRESS, UM, TO THE PROPERTY.
BUT THE, SO, LIKE, LIKE I SAID, THE FLOOR IS SOFT AND MOST OF, UH, PROBABLY ABOUT THE HOSE STRUCTURE, MORE OF THE, JUST, JUST THE ITEMS LEFT BEHIND FROM MRS. DOYLE, REMOVING THE DEBRIS.
SO FLOOR, YOU CAN SEE THE, THE, THE DECKING RIGHT THERE, UM, DETERIORATED.

THIS IS THE, THE STAIRWAY GOING UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
YOU CAN SEE THE DETERIORATED STAIRWAY.

NOW, UH, MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE WIRING SYSTEM.
UH, IT IS A ELECTRICAL HAZARD RIGHT THERE.
'CAUSE SHE DOES HAVE LIVE, LIVE WIRE ON THE, THE, THE MAIN STRUCTURE, UM, AS OF, I THINK IT WAS MONDAY OF THIS WEEK, UM, HER ACCESSORY STRUCTURE CAUGHT ON FIRE.
SO THAT IS A CONCERN FOR THE MAIN, AND THAT WAS A LOT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S CONCERN WAS THAT THERE'S A LOT, THERE'S, THERE'S SOME EXP EXPOSED WIRING THROUGHOUT THE MAIN.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE, THE SHEET ROCK HAS BEEN PULLED, UM, BROKEN OFF DUE TO THE WATER DAMAGE PRO POSSIBLY.
UH, JUST MORE ITEMS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE.
THERE STILL IS TRASH AND DEBRIS, BUT, UM, THROUGH THIS, THROUGH HERE, UM, YOU COULDN'T EVEN MOVE THROUGH HERE.
IT WAS A SL, MAYBE A, A FOOT JUST GETTING, JUST GETTING AROUND THE, TO, TO, TO CROSS THROUGH HERE.
UM, THIS IS THE CRACKS AND EVERYTHING, UH, CRACKS THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY.
UM, NOW MOST OF THESE, THESE, UH, THESE CRACKS IN THE WALLS ARE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FOUNDA, UH, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
SO THE, THE FOUNDATION, IT HAS FOUNDATIONS ON THE ISSUES THAT, THAT'S MAKING IT GO TO THE LEAN TO THE RIGHT.
SHE STILL HASN'T GOTTEN TO THIS POINT.
UM, REMOVING THE TRASH AND DEBRIS.
SHE STILL HAS A LOT, UM, IN THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE THAT'S STILL ACCUMULATING.
WE ARE GETTING WORD OF RODENTS GOING IN AND OUTTA THE STRUCTURE.
AS I WAS MOVING THROUGH THERE.
THE OFFICER DID NOTE THAT HE PROBABLY SAW LIKE THREE OF 'EM JUST WALKING BY THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE.
THE STRUCTURE IS A TWO STORY WOOD FRAME MAIN STRUCTURE WITH DETERIORATED ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOF SYSTEM, WHICH IS ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER AND DAMAGE THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE EXTERIOR WALLS ARE MASONRY AND ARE CRACKED DUE TO THE FOUNDATION ISSUES.
THE WINDOWS THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE ARE BOARDED UP AND NOT USABLE.
INTERIOR CEILING AND WALLS ARE WATER DAMAGED AND CRACKED.
THE SECOND FLOOR CEILING HAS SHEET ROCK THAT HAS FALLEN DUE TO WATER DAMAGE.
INTERIOR FLOORS ARE SPONGY AND UNEVEN DUE TO THE FOUNDATION ISSUES.
OWNER IS REMOVING THE TRASH AND DEBRIS FROM INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE AND PLACING ITEMS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE AND NOT REMOVING THE TRASH AND DEBRIS FROM PROPERTY.
THERE IS A RODENT INFESTATION WHERE RODENTS CAN BE SEEN MOVING AROUND THE TRASH AND DEBRIS.
RECENT FIRE RE OCCURRED AT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THAT WAS BOARD ORDER DEMO, UH, UH, DEMOLITION ON 8 12 20 21 DUE TO OWNER, UH, OWNER, UH, HIRING SOMEBODY BURNING TRASH, TRASH AND DEBRIS IN THE BACK OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT THREE 11 WEST AUGUST ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1 2 5 7 8 11 12 15, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS AND DEFECTS HEREAFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL
[02:45:01]
THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIR WITH A VACATE ORDER.THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF THREE 11 WEST AUGUSTON STREET.
MADAM CHAIR, I HAVE A QUESTION.
UM, MR. ANTE, I WAS, I HAVE A QUESTION.
SO WE, THIS CASE HAS BEEN RESET AND PREVIOUSLY SHE HAD SOMEONE HELPING HER TO CLEAN UP AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF, BUT, UM, IS SHE STILL STAYING ON THE PROPERTY IN THAT LITTLE, THE, THE RV OR, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, WHEN I SPOKE TO HER, UM, THE LAST TIME SHE WAS, SHE WAS NOT LIVING AT THE PROPERTY.
UM, ALL THE TIMES THAT I'VE BEEN OUT THERE AND S A P D HAS BEEN OUT THERE, UM, WE HAVE NOT SEEN HER ON THE PROPERTY OR SEEN ANY SIGN OF HER.
UM, SHE DID HIRE PEOPLE TO REMOVE THE TRASH AND DEBRIS.
UM, WHEN I SPOKE TO HER ABOUT THE TRASH AND DEBRIS, UM, THAT, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY AGAIN.
UM, SHE SAID SHE RAN OUTTA MONEY AND SHE'S TRYING TO ACCUMULATE MORE MONEY TO GET THE DUMPSTERS OUT THERE.
UM, THE INSIDE IS, SHE CLEANED IT PRETTY NICELY.
GOT RID OF MOST OF ALL THE TRASH, BUT JUST THE TRASH AND DEBRIS, LIKE THE RATCHES FOLLOWED THE TRASH OUTSIDE AND THEY'RE HANGING OUT IN THERE.
SO, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PODS TOO.
SHE'S MOVING SOME OF THE ITEMS INTO THE PODS.
AT ONE TIME, THERE WAS FOUR PODS ON THE PROPERTY, AND SO SEVERAL CODE OFFICERS ACTUALLY MADE LOCATION 'CAUSE WE WERE GETTING COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE, THE PODS.
UM, BUT SHE WAS ACTUALLY MOVING STUFF ONTO THERE AND REMOVING THEM AND PUTTING ANOTHER ONE.
SO SHE ACTUALLY IS TRYING TO, UH, CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY.
AND ADDITIONALLY, YOU'VE REQUESTED THAT WE ENFORCE THE VACATE ORDER, BUT SHE'S NOT IN THERE? UH, YES, BECAUSE WE'VE HAVE, UH, S A P D AND I HAVE CAUGHT, UM, IN THE MOBILE HOME, WE HAVE CAUGHT, UM, SOME OF THE WORKERS STAYING IN THERE.
AND, UH, ALSO TOO, DUE TO THE FIRE TOO, SS A P D REQUESTS THAT, UH, UH, NO ONE BE ON THE PROPERTY UNTIL SHE, SHE COMES UP WITH A PLAN TO DO IT BECAUSE, UM, OF THE FIRE THAT HAPPENED OCCURRED.
I WANTED TO CONFIRM MY DEFINITIONS.
UM, FOR THE MAIN, I, UH, 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, AND 15, I MIGHT'VE INCLUDED ONE AND 11.
UH, THOSE WERE CORRECTIONS ON ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE, THE CASE.
I ALSO WANNA MAKE NOTE TOO, THAT I DID TALK WITH MR. KAIN, SEAN KAIN, UM, AND LIKE I SAID, HE DID TURN IN A, A SCOPE OF WORK LIST OF WORK ITEMS THAT HE HAS FOR THE PROPERTY.
UM, HE'S JUST WAITING FOR THE TITLE TO CLEAR.
UM, MS. DOYLE DID, UH, UH, SIGN THE CONTRACT AND EVERYTHING, AND THEY'RE JUST WAITING FOR IT.
AND HE HAS CONFIRMED THAT HE'S GONNA TAKE CARE OF ALL THE ISSUES ONCE THE TITLE'S CLEAR.
AND, AND HE, HE'S THE TRUE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
HAVE ANY AND ANY OF THE ABATEMENTS BEEN PAID FOR THE $6,000? AS OF RIGHT NOW, NO.
BUT FROM WHEN I WAS TALKING TO, UM, UM, MR. KANE AND, UM, UH, MS. DOYLE A FEW DAYS AGO, UH, MR. KANE SAID THAT WHATEVER LIENS WERE, WERE INCLUDED WAS GONNA BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
THAT'S, THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL HE'S TOLD ME.

[02:50:01]
HEARING THIS CASE TODAY.UM, AS YOU'RE AWARE, THERE WAS PREVIOUSLY, UH, A HEARING IN AUGUST, UH, 2021 REGARDING MY PROPERTY AND THE VI VIOLATIONS INCURRED THEREON.
UM, I, UH, WHEN I CAME TO THAT HEARING WITH A SIGNED CONTRACT IN HAND TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO INVESTORS, TONY AND LIZ PEREZ, UH, THE INVESTORS THAT HAD THE CONTRACT FOR SALE TESTIFIED THAT THEY WERE GOING TO RENOVATE, UH, TOTALLY REHAB THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND DEMOLISH THE SECONDARY STRUCTURE.
THEY DIDN'T DO ANY OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD PROMISED TO DO.
THEY DIDN'T PUT UP THE EARNEST MONEY, UH, THEY DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, SUBMIT IT TO THE TITLE COMPANY.
THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE SALE, WHICH LEFT ME IN A VERY VULNERABLE, PO VULNERABLE POSITION.
UH, I WAS REALLY FINANCIALLY RUINED BY THEN, UH, BECAUSE I HAD PAID EVERYBODY.
UH, YOU KNOW, I HAD A, HAD HIRED A CREW TO CLEAR THE PROPERTY AND PUT THINGS INTO PODS AND THROW THE TRASH AWAY.
I HAD A BURN BAND, BURN BIN A BARREL, EXCUSE ME, A BARREL TO BURN THE TRASH SO THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE TO HAUL AS MUCH STUFF OFF.
UM, MY PLAN WAS TO HAVE A DUMPSTER.
I RAN OUT OF MONEY BECAUSE THE SALE DID NOT GO THROUGH ON SEPTEMBER 13TH.
I HAD ALREADY PROMISED THESE PEOPLE THEY WOULD BE PAID ON THE 13TH.
THE ONLY ONE HELPING ME NOW IS MY NEIGHBOR.
I'M, I'M SORRY, HE'S NOT MY NEIGHBOR.
AND, UH, HE IS THE ONE, PROBABLY THAT OFFICER ANTE ENCOUNTERED AT THE PROPERTY, UH, BECAUSE HE WILL STAY, TAKE BREAKS INSIDE THAT RV BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SO HOT, UH, NOT IN RECENT DAYS, BUT THERE IS A NOTICE TO VACATE.
SO I SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM HE COULD NOT BE ON THE PROPERTY, ALTHOUGH I DID CALL OFFICER BARTE TO CLARIFY AND MAKE SURE THAT HE WAS ABLE TO, UM, THAT, THAT WE WERE ABLE TO HIRE A CREW.
UM, AND, AND I HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF HIRING IDA AND EDDIE PONSA PONS, UH, WHO ARE CONTRACTORS WITH THE CITY.
UH, THEY ALSO WORK PRIVATELY, AND I INTEND FOR THEM TO DO THE, UM, TO REMOVE THE DEBRIS FROM THE FIRE THAT IS NOT ABLE TO BE DONE BY HAND.
UM, I GET MY TRUCK BACK NEXT WEEK IN ORDER TO, UH, TRY TO GET WHAT WE CAN OUT FIRST BEFORE THEY COME.
UM, OFFICER ES SAID HE WOULD GIVE ME THROUGH MONDAY, I'M REQUESTING A 10, 10 DAY PERIOD TO CLEAR THAT DEBRIS FROM THE FIRE.
UH, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE OTHER DEBRIS FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
BUT THE CREW JUST, THEY, WHEN THEY DID NOT GET PAID, THEY LEFT.
AND THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY QUIT BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GETTING PAID.
I ASSURED THEM THEY WOULD BE PAID ON THE SALE OF THE HOUSE, BECAUSE THEN I WOULD HAVE FUNDS TO DO IT.
MS. CHAIR, MS. CHAIR, THIS IS LEGAL.
I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT.
I DO BELIEVE THERE'S A DIFFERENT SITUATION THAT MS. DOYLE IS DEALING WITH IN REGARDS TO THE, UH, THE, THE, THE TRASH AND THE BURN.
UM, I, I, I'D ASK THAT WE FOCUS ON THE STRUCTURE AND, UM, UM, YES.
WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN REGARDS TO THE ACTUAL MAIN STRUCTURE THAT IS IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD TODAY? YES, SIR.
I, I WAS JUST ADDRESSING THE, UH, THE DEBRIS OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, BUT I UNDERSTAND IT'S ABOUT THE MAIN HOUSE, THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
UM, DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACT ON THE HOUSE, MA'AM? YES, I DO.
I HAVE A CONTRACT ON THE HOUSE WITH SEAN KANE.
HE'S NOT, UH, UNSCRUPULOUS LIKE THESE PREVIOUS INVESTORS HAS OUR, HAS OUR ATTORNEY REVIEWED IT? I THOUGHT ON, ON OUR, UH, SCREEN, BUT HAS OUR ATTORNEY, MR. CHAIR, I, I HAVE THE PAPERWORK.
UM, I BELIEVE THERE IS PAPERWORK IN FRONT OF YOU.
I'VE REVIEWED ALL DOCUMENTS THAT WILL, THAT ARE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW, I BELIEVE ONE IS A CONTRACT.
I WANNA SAY ANOTHER ONE IS PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS FOR MR. UH, MR. CRANE, I BELIEVE I'M SAYING HIS NAME CORRECTLY.
AND THEN ALSO I APOLOGIZE, MR. KAIN.
AND THEN ALSO THERE IS A, UM, A SCOPE OF WORK, I BELIEVE PROVIDED BY HIM ALSO.
SO IT IS YOUR INTENT TO SELL THE SELL THE PROPERTY.
AND WE HAVE A CLOSING DATE SET FOR NOVEMBER 12TH.
AND HE IS JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRACT'S ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE TITLE COMPANY IN THE HOPES OF, UH, GETTING CLEAR TITLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
SO WE MAY MOVE THAT UP IF POSSIBLE, BUT IF NOT, WHENEVER THE TITLE CLEARS IS WHEN WE'LL DO THE CLOSING.
BUT IT'S CURRENTLY SET FOR NOVEMBER 12TH.
[02:55:02]
OKAY.IS THE, UH, UH, NEW OWNER, UH, PROSPECTIVE OWNER ON THE PHONE.
LET'S, LET'S HEAR FROM HIM FOR A MINUTE, MR. KANE.

SS H A U N, LAST NAME KANE, C A N E.
UH, OUR ADDRESS IS 7 2 2 7 BROADWAY STREET, UH, 7 8 2 0 9.
OKAY, SIR, YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR CASE? SO, UH, I MET WITH MS. UH, DOYLE HERE ON OCTOBER THE SIXTH.
IT WAS MY FIRST MEETING WITH HER AS A, UH, UH, A MUTUAL PERSON THAT SHE HAD KNOWN HAD REACHED OUT TO ME.
AND INITIALLY SHE WAS LOOKING FOR SOME FUNDS TO, UH, UH, CLEAR THE DEBTS, UH, FROM THE PROPERTY, UH, THE EXPENSES AND THE LIENS THAT THE CITY HAD, UH, HAD PLACED ON THE PROPERTY FROM THEIR WORK.
PLUS, UH, ALL THE EXPENSES YOU'VE INCURRED ON CLEARING THE PROPERTY.
UH, UH, I'M ALSO, UH, LICENSED WITH THE CITY, OR OUR COMPANY AND MYSELF ARE LICENSED WITH THE CITY AS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
AND I'VE DONE SEVERAL PROJECTS, UH, IN LARGE SCOPE, UH, AKIN TO THIS, AND EVEN MORE SIZABLE, UH, GETTING SOME OF THOSE STARTED HERE IN THE CITY.
SO AS I WAS WALKING, UH, OUT THERE WITH HER AND ASSESSING THE ISSUE AT THE TIME, THE, UH, DETACHED GARAGE WAS, WAS THERE, UH, AND THEY, SHE DID TELL ME FROM HER KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS, I GUESS SHE PRESUME, HAD PRESUMED THAT THE HEARING TODAY WAS ABOUT THE DETACHED GARAGE STRUCTURE.
SO WE GOT THAT CLARIFIED, UH, BECAUSE I SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH, UH, DAVID, GET SPEAK WITH MS. CRUM AND, UH, UH, OFFICER ANTE, UH, FORGIVE ME IF I DIDN'T SAY THAT RIGHT, UH, ON THE, UH, THE 12TH OF OCTOBER.
AND THAT'S WHEN WE GOT THE CLARIFICATION THAT THIS HEARING WAS ACTUALLY FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
SO, UH, OCTOBER THE 12TH, UH, 2021 IS ACTUALLY ALSO THE DAY THAT WE GOT, UH, IN THE CONTRACT WITH HER, UH, AS I OFFERED TO JUST PURCHASE THE PROPERTY AND TAKE CARE OF ALL THE, THE ISSUES AND THE PROBLEM.
OUR ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO DEM DEMOLISH THE, UH, DETACHED GARAGE, UH, FROM, FROM OUR CALL ON OCTOBER THE SIXTH, OR EXCUSE ME, FROM OUR MEETING ON OCTOBER THE SIXTH OF THIS YEAR.
AND THEN, UH, WHEN I, UH, CALLED THEM, UH, CALLED, THEY REACHED OUT TO ME ON FRIDAY, I WASN'T AVAILABLE.
UH, THEN ON MONDAY WE SPOKE AGAIN, AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE STRUCTURE, UH, UNFORTUNATELY HAD HAD, UH, HAD BEEN BURNED.
UM, SO THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T SEE ANY STRUCTURE IN MY, IN MY ORIGINAL, IN MY SCOPE OF WORK AND ESTIMATE THAT IT'S NOW, UH, IT'S, IT'S NOW OF NO, UH, NO EFFECT IN TERMS OF DEMOLITION.
IT DOES, ITEMS DO STILL NEED TO BE REMOVED, I UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
UM, IN TERMS OF THE CONTRACT, UH, WITH, WITH OUR COMPANY GREATEST NAME SOLUTIONS, UH, WE FULLY INTEND TO MOVE FORWARD TO, UH, PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY.
WE'VE, UH, DONE EVERYTHING WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO WITH THE OPENING TITLE, UH, WITH CHESTER LAW GROUP, WHEN WE'VE USED NUMEROUS TIMES, UH, TO PURCHASE AND ACQUIRE PROPERTY HERE IN THE GREATER CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
AND, UH, AS YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S OPENING TITLE THAT COULD TAKE AT LEAST TWO WEEKS.
UH, AND WE'LL FIND OUT FROM THERE WHAT LIENS NEED TO BE CLEARED ON THAT.
UH, ONCE ALL OF THAT'S DONE THROUGH THE TITLE COMPANY, THIRD PARTY, OUR FUNDS ARE EXCHANGED, UH, IN EXCHANGE FOR TAKING DEEDED TRANSFER TO THE PROPERTY, THEN, UH, YOU ALL ABSOLUTELY BE, UH, YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT PROCESS.
YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE PAID, UH, AND SATISFIED THROUGH THE TITLE COMPANY, THE, UH, DISTANCE TO THIRD PARTY, AND THEN THOSE LIENS WILL BE RELEASED.
UH, AND THEN IT'LL START, UH, OUR, OUR OWNERSHIP, UH, OUR COMPANY'S OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY AND OUR PLANS TO ENGAGE AND START THE, UH, THE, UH, THE RENOVATION PART OF THE PROPERTY, UH, SOON AFTER THE, UH, CLOSING OF THE, UH, THE SALE.
SO IT'S, I, MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UH, RECOMMENDED BY THE STAFF TO REPAIR THE HOME.
AS YOU CAN SEE BEFORE YOU, YOU HAVE THE, UH, FULL SCOPE OF WORK, UH, GENERALLY AND, AND, AND PUT, IT'S, UH, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE DETAILS THEREIN.
THIS IS A, A, WHAT WE CALL A FULL REHAB, FULL RENOVATION.
UH, PRETTY MUCH EVERY, UH, THE TOP FIVE, THE BIG FIVE WE CALL IT, THAT'S THE, UH, FOUNDATION WILL BE REPAIRED BY COBALT FOUNDATION.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE USED OVER THE YEARS.
UH, THEY'RE LICENSED WITH THE CITY, UH, AS WELL, UH, WILL HAVE ALL NEW ELECTRIC, ALL NEW PLUMBING, UM, NEW ROOF, AND, UH, WE'LL INSTALL
[03:00:01]
HVAC SYSTEM IN THERE, IN, IN, IN CONCERT WITH ANY CARPENT REFRAMING, UH, WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.OUR, OUR GOAL IS TO GET PERMISSION TO ENCLOSE THE REAR STRUCTURE, UH, THE AT REAR ATTACHMENT THAT LOOKS LIKE A TERRACE THAT'S BEEN ENCLOSED.
MAKE THAT PART OF THE LIVABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE, UH, WITHIN OUR PLAN AS WE'LL.
SUBMIT TO THE CITY, UH, AND THEN DO SOME WORK TO THE FRONT PORCH.
UH, WE'LL PROPOSE TO ELIMINATE THE, THAT AWNING, UH, WHATEVER'S GOING ON IN THE FRONT TO CLEAR THAT UP, TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A, A PORCH, UH, PORCH THERE.
UH, ENCLOSED THE PERIMETER, UH, IN THE BACK WITH, UH, WITH THE, WITH THE WOOD FENCE AND, UH, AND, AND THEN TAKE EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE INSIDE FROM THERE.
BUT ALL, UH, FULLY PERMITTED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS AS I'VE DONE BEFORE.
SO ONCE THE TITLE HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO YOU ALL, OR YOUR TITLE SEARCH, UH, WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO BEGIN WORK? SO WITHIN, TYPICALLY WITHIN ONE TO TWO WEEKS.
'CAUSE ONCE WE CLOSE, THEN I HAVE A JUSTIFIABLE RIGHT, UH, TO, UH, UH, PUT MY DEPOSITS, UH, IN PLACE FOR, FOR THE FIRST PART IS THE FOUNDATION.
UM, THAT, AND THEY TYPICALLY, AND I, I MANAGE TO, UH, CONTACT, MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH THEM FOR THEIR SCHEDULING.
AND TYPICALLY ON AVERAGE, ONCE I DO THAT, ONCE WE'RE CLOSED, I'M ABOUT WITHIN ONE TO TWO WEEKS OF THEM GETTING ON SITE TO START THE FOUNDATION REPAIR WORK.
UH, THERE, THERE IS A STEP AHEAD OF THIS WITH THIS ONE, WHICH WE COULD PROBABLY DO IN CONCERT AND COORDINATING WITH THEM, IF, IF THAT'S TRASH OR WHATEVER'S LEFT AT THE TIME OF CLOTHING HAS NOT BEEN, UH, REMOVED, THEN I'M GONNA HAVE TO HAVE THE DEMO EXTERIOR STUFF MOVED OUT OF THE WAY THE INSIDE CLEARED OUT, UH, THAT'S SAFE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BE, TO GET IN AND, AND BE OUT OF THE WAY FOR THEM TO HANDLE THEIR, UH, THEIR, UH, FOUNDATION REPAIR.
AND THIS, THIS HOME IS A APPEARING BEAM FOUNDATION, SO THEY'LL BE UNDER THE HOUSE, UH, IT'S REALLY TIGHT INSIDE, SO THEY MAY HAVE TO EXPOSE SOME OF THE INSIDE FLOORING TO GET TO THE, UH, THE, THE, THE JOISTS AND THE BEAMS THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED WITH THE NEW CONCRETE POST, UH, PER CODE AND PER, UH, ENGINEER'S, UH, INSTRUCTION.
AND YOU WILL PULL PERMITS, IS THAT CORRECT? ABSOLUTELY.
I'M A, I'M A LICENSED GENERAL CONTRACTOR, SO I PULL THE GENERAL PERMIT AND THEN, UH, MY SUBCONTRACTORS, WHICH ARE MY, WHICH ARE THE FOUNDATION REPAIR, ELECTRICAL, THE ROOFER, THE HVAC AND PLUMBING, ALL POOL THERE RESPECTIVE PERMITS AS WELL.
WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A PLAN.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER? YES, SIR.
UM, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR START TO FINISH ON COMPLETION? UH, WE BELIEVE FROM START TO FINISH UP TO FOUR MONTHS.
AND THE REASON THAT IS EVERY YEAR A HALF TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HOLIDAY SEASON, WHICH IS WHERE THIS PROJECT WILL BE STARTING.
AND FROM MY FEW YEARS OF EXPERIENCE HERE, THAT'S, UH, NOT ALWAYS THE GREATEST TIME TO KEEP GUYS FOCUSED SAFELY AND GAINFULLY EMPLOYED.
SO THERE ARE TIMES WITHIN THAT THAT WE'LL HAVE A WEEK OR TWO OFF, UH, TO GET EVERYBODY BACK AND FOCUSED IN A NEW YEAR.
BUT I, RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING FROM THE TIME WE START, WHICH IS MID, IDEALLY, UH, ALL THINGS BEING CONSIDERED IN TERMS OF, UH, THE TITLE BEING CLEAR AND CLOSING MID, MID TO LATE NOVEMBER, AND BEING, UH, READY TO HAVE THAT AT HOME.
UH, 100% COMPLETED, UH, IN, UH, MARCH, UH, END OF MARCH OF 2022.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER? OKAY.
WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING IN.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION IF I MAY, UH, UH, MADAM CHAIR, THAT WOULD BE IMPROPER.
THIS IS LEGAL THAT IT'S IMPROPER, BUT YOU CAN DEFINITELY POSE THAT QUESTION TO, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OR, OR CODE ENFORCEMENT.
