FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME'S RAMIRO GURA SS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 97 0 2 HEIDELBERG, WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR REPAIR TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND DEMOLITION TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE MAIN STRUCTURE AT 97 0 2 HEIDELBERG IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ON JANUARY, EXCUSE ME, JULY 27TH, 2021, A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED.
THE INSPECTION IS COLLABORATING INSPECTION WITH THE VARRIO CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDED THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
UH, PLEASE NOTE THAT, UM, WE ARE BRINGING THE MAIN, UM, BACK IN SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2018, WE DID BRING THE ACCESSORY GARAGE, UH, TO THE BOARD AT WHICH TIME THE BOARD ORDERED DEMOLITION OF THAT GARAGE AND, UH, THE CITY DID END UP DEMOLISHING THAT GARAGE.
UM, BUT AT THAT TIME, WE DID NOT BRING THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS N C B 1 3 8 5 8 BLOCK TWO, LOT FIVE, LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS TWILA SUTTON WITH THE MILLION ADDRESS OF 9 7 0 2 HEIDELBERG, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 3 3.
THE OWNER IS NOT PRESENT TODAY, BUT THEY DID PROVIDE A LETTER THAT THEY WANTED TO READ INTO RECORD, YOUR HONOR, JUDY AND, AND, AND STAFF.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND, AND LET THE LETTER COME OUT AFTER YOU'VE PRESENTED YOUR CASE.
THE OFFICE HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON, ON AUGUST 9TH, 2021.
THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON JULY 28TH, 2021, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED, SIGNED, NOT ELIGIBLE ON AUGUST 5TH, 2021.
ON NUM, NOVEMBER 1ST, 2021, A PEER BOARD CONFERENCE HEARING WAS HELD WITH WILLIAM SUTTON THAT WAS AT THE PROPERTY.
UH, WILLIAM IS ONE OF THE SONS OF TWILA SUTTON ON OCTOBER 21ST, 2021.
THE NOTICE FOR B S B HEARING WAS POSTED AT 9 7 0 2 HEIDELBERG ON OCTOBER 21ST, 2021.
THE NOTICE FOR THE B S B HEARING WAS MAILED TO TWILA SUTTON, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS REMAINS PENDING RETURN ON JULY 27TH, 2021, AND NOVEMBER 1ST, 2021, AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED, UH, TO OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS AND CONDUCT A, UH, INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE OWNER HAS PROVIDED A LETTER THAT THEY WANT READ INTO THE RECORD, BUT AT THIS TIME, THERE'S NO SCOPE OF WORK, UH, FROM THE OWNER, UM, OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT OR ANY TYPE OF BIDS.
THERE ARE NO CURRENT PERMITS ON RECORD.
WE HAVE ABATED THIS PROPERTY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT OUR PHOTO PRESENTATION.
SO THIS IS THE FIRST INSPECTION THAT WE CONDUCTED ON JULY 27TH, 2021.
UM, THAT IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
YOU CAN SEE THE ROOF IS A LITTLE WORN.
IS IS IT IS SIGNS OF BEING WORN.
UM, UH, I DIDN'T SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT LEAKS GOING INTO THE STRUCTURE, UH, DUE TO THE ROOF.
SO, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE A BIT OF THIS PROPERTY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
THE LAST TIME WE CLEANED THE PROPERTY WAS NOVEMBER 1ST.
UH, ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS THAT, UM, ONE OF THE OWNER'S SONS, UM, CONTINUES TO BRING LARGE AMOUNTS OF ITEMS THAT HAVE, UH, TRANSIENT STAIN ON THE PROPERTY IN THE BACKYARD, UM, WHICH THEY WOULD ALLOW.
UM, PREVIOUS TIMES THAT WE CLEANED
[00:15:01]
THE PROPERTY, THEY HAD LITTLE TENTS IN THE BACK.AND, UH, WE DID, UM, LIKE I SAID, AB BAIT, THE PROPERTY.
THEY HAD A LARGE EXTENSIVE OF TRASH, DEBRIS, DISCARDED ITEMS, TIRES, UH, THINGS OF THOSE SORTS OF APPLIANCES.
UM, AND AS I SAID, WE DID CLEAN THE PROPERTY ON NOVEMBER 1ST.
ALL THAT, ALL THESE, ALL THESE ITEMS YOU SEE HERE HAVE BEEN REMOVED BY THE CITY.
SO THIS BACK ROOM BACK HERE IS A BACK PORCH THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL, UM, UH, STRUCTURE.
UM, YOU SEE THE WALL COVERING THAT'S DETACHING FROM THAT BACK PORCH.
UM, THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF HOARDING THAT'S BEEN PILED UP INSIDE THAT ROOM, WHICH IS PUSHING ON THOSE ON THE WALL.
SO A LOT OF THE DETACHING IS COMING FROM A LOT OF THAT TRASH, UH, DISCARDED ITEMS THAT ARE INSIDE.
SO, ENTERING THE PROPERTY, THIS IS FROM THE FRONT DOOR.
UM, THERE IS, LIKE I SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF HOARDING GOING ON IN THIS PROPERTY.
UH, WHEN WE CONDUCTED THE INSPECTION, UM, WE DID SEE, UH, RATS, UH, A LOT OF INSECT INFESTATION INSIDE.
UM, AND SOME OF THAT, UH, SOME OF THE RATS AND THE LARGE AMOUNT OF RATS AND INSECT CONATION.
UM, YOU'LL SEE DISCOLORATION TO THE WALL INSIDE.
UH, WE BELIEVE THAT A LOT OF THAT HAS TO DO WITH, UH, THE FECES AND THE URINE FROM THOSE, UM, RODENTS AND INSECT INSECT INFESTATION.
UM, A LOT OF EXTENSION CORDS GOING THROUGH THE PROPERTY.
UM, WHEN WE PREVIOUS, PREVIOUSLY HAD ISSUED A NOTICE TO VACATE, UM, WE DID CUT THE POWER TO THE PROPERTY AND THEY WERE USING A GENERATOR.
UM, AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY FOR THAT DISCONNECTION OF SERVICES WAS DUE TO THE EXTENSION CORDS BEING SPLICED GOING TO THE HOUSE TO SUPPLY POWER TO THE TRANSIENTS THAT WERE STAYING IN THE BACKYARD.
THIS IS THE BATHROOM, AND YOU CAN SEE DISREPAIR TO THE SHOWER.
THE FLOOR IN THE, UH, AROUND THE TOILET IS, UH, SOFT AND SPONGY.
UM, THAT IT'S MORE THE DECKING, UH, THAN THE FOUNDATION.
YOU CAN SEE THE MISSING WALL, UH, FLOOR COVERING THERE.
AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, THE FLOOR IN THE BATHROOM IS, UH, SPONGY AND SOFT.
THIS IS WHEN THE BEDROOMS, UM, THE AMOUNT OF HOARDING IS CAUSING AN UNSAFE MEANS OF EGRESS, UM, IN CASE OF PANIC OR FIRE OR, UH, HAZARD OR FIRST RESPONDENTS HAVING TO ENTER THE PROPERTY.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE, UM, THE FILTH, UH, ON THE WALLS THERE.
UM, AGAIN, I DO BELIEVE THAT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE INSECT INFESTATION AND THE RODENT INFESTATION.
THIS IS, UH, THE BACK BEDROOM.
UM, ALL THE BEDROOMS, UM, PRETTY MUCH HAD HOARDING, AND AS I MENTIONED, IT'S CAUSING UNSAFE MEANS OF EGRESS, UM, IN CASE OF PANIC.
THERE IS THIS CRACK IN THE CEILING THERE IN THE SHEET ROCK.
UM, I, I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST DUE TO, UH, THE AGE OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANCE SHIFTING TO THE FOUNDATION THAT I NOTICED.
AND ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE BATHROOM SHOWING SIGNS OF DISREPAIR TO THE BATHROOM.
SO THIS IS BACK ON THE DATE OF THE INSPECTION.
THIS IS LOOKING FROM THE KITCHEN, UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT OF HOARDING AND TRASH INSIDE THE PROPERTY.
UH, IN SECOND INFESTATION THERE IN THE CORNER, THAT'S A ROACH.
AND BACK TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE PORCH.
AND THERE YOU SEE HOW THE WALL THERE IS COME IN DETACHED.
AND WE DO BELIEVE IT'S A LOT OF IT THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRASH, UM, AND HOARDING THAT'S INSIDE THAT PORCH AREA.
YOU SEE THAT THERE'S MISSING, UH, TRANSACT SIDING THERE.
UM, AND THE WOOD BEHIND IT IS DETERIORATED.
UH, THAT PROBABLY SHOULD BE REPLACED.
THIS IS INSIDE THE PORCH AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THE PLYWOOD THERE.
UM, IT'S, IT'S, UH, WATER DAMAGE.
UM, THAT LOOKS LIKE THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF.
AND, UH, THE PLYWOOD THERE IS SEPARATING FROM THE, UH, ROOF SYSTEM.
THIS IS THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
AS I MENTIONED, UM, THEY HAD TRANSIENT LIVING ON THE PROPERTY.
IT IS JUST A MAKESHIFT STRUCTURE MADE OUT OF, UH, FENCING MATERIALS.
UM, HOWEVER, THEY DID ATTACH THE, THE STRUCTURE.
THEY SCREWED THE, THE, THE WOOD MEMBERS INTO THE ADJACENT ADJACENT FENCE ON THE ADJACENT PROPERTY.
YOU SEE THE SAGGING TO THE ROOF.
UM, AGAIN, IT'S JUST OLD WOOD THAT THEY USE OLD FENCING MATERIALS.
THEY, THEY USE TO, UM, TO ERECTUS STRUCTURE.
[00:20:02]
YOU SEE THE LIGHT COMING IN, EXTENSION CORDS.YOU SEE THE BEDS THAT WERE THERE.
UH, THE BLANKETS WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING INSIDE, YOU SEE RADIOS.
UM, ACTUALLY THEY HAD EXTENSION CORDS GOING TO THE GENERATOR.
NEXT SLIDE, EXTENSION CORDS THERE.
AGAIN, MORE EQUIPMENT, A REFRIGERATOR.
THIS IS ON NOVEMBER 1ST AFTER WE CLEAN THE PROPERTY.
AND THAT'S WHAT REMAINS WITH THAT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE, OF THE STRUCTURE AGAIN.
ON NOVEMBER 1ST, WE CLEANED THE PROPERTY TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE.
STRUCTURE LOCATED AT, UH, 97 0 2.
HEIDELBERG ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, AND 17.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS, OR ANY OF ALL THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS, DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND HUMAN SAFETY STAFF COMMENDS REPAIRED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND DEMOLITION TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FROM 97 0 2 HEIDELBERG.
I THINK WE'LL HOLD QUESTIONS UNTIL WE HEAR THE LETTER FROM THE, UH, OWNER CHAIR.
DO YOU WANNA DO THE LETTER OR, UM, HAVE SS A P D SPEAK? UH OH.
IF WE HAVE THEM ON THE LINE, LET'S HAVE THEM SPEAK.
OFFICER, UM, COLE, OR GRANT, UM, IF YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR BUSINESS ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UH, IT'S OFFICER KIA WITH THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO, UM, I'M THE SAFE OFFICER THAT WORKS THAT AREA.
I GET CALLS FROM ALL THE NEIGHBORS.
UM, THEY, IT BLOWS AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
IT GOES TO THE NEIGHBOR'S YARDS.
UH, THE SMELL, THE SMELL IS HORRIFIC THERE, THE RODENTS THERE AND THERE MANY TIMES I'VE SEEN HUGE AMOUNTS OF RODENTS, UM, BLEEDS, TICKS, ROACHES, ALL OF THAT DUE TO THE TRASH AND UNCLEANLINESS.
UH, THE OTHER MAIN PROBLEM IS TRANSIENT.
THE HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT ARE STAYING THERE, THAT THEY ALLOWED TO STAY THERE.
UM, THEY PEE AND THEY POOP ALL OVER THE PLACE.
UM, I GOT A REPORT TWO WEEKS AGO FOR, UM, MALES, BOTH MALES AND FEMALES BATHING IN THE FRONT YARD NAKED.
UM, I HAVE PERSONALLY WOKEN UP MANY OF THESE PASSED OUT HOMELESS PEOPLE ON DIFFERENT NEIGHBOR'S PORCHES AND RAN THEM OFF BECAUSE THEY, BECAUSE OF THEIR DRUG SLASH ALCOHOL USE.
AND THEN MOST RECENTLY I GOT A REPORT ABOUT PROSTITUTION COMING OUTTA THAT PARTICULAR HOUSE.
ALSO INVOLVED A HOMELESS PERSON.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER WHILE HE IS ON THE PHONE? I HAVE A QUESTION.
HOW MANY, UH, DO YOU HAVE THE AMOUNT OF CALLS THAT YOU'VE HAD TO THIS PROPERTY, BY ANY CHANCE? I DO NOT HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF ME AS A, AS A SAFE OFFICER.
UM, THAT'S, THAT'S AS A SAFE OFFICER.
THAT'S JUST THE NEIGHBORS CALLING ME.
I'VE BEEN THE SAFE OFFICER FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW.
SO MOST OF THE RESIDENTS HAVE MY PERSONAL NUMBER AND THEY CALL ME DIRECTLY.
I GO STRAIGHT AND DEAL WITH THEM.
UM, AS FOR THE CALLS FOR SERVICE THAT REGULAR POLICEMEN ARE GONE TO, THAT'S GONNA BE WAY MORE THAN THE CALLS I HAVE RECEIVED MYSELF, BUT I DO NOT HAVE THAT NUMBER IN FRONT OF ME.
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN HELPFUL, BUT THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND, AND, UH, READ THE LETTER FROM THE OWNER.
CHAIR, I'LL GO AHEAD AND READ THE LETTER.
THIS LETTER IS TO ADDRESS FUTURE INTENTIONS OF THE ABOVE LISTED RESIDENTS THAT IS CURRENTLY IN VIOLATIONS OF THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO CODE COMPLIANCE.
THE INTENTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS.
NUMBER ONE, IT IS THE INTENT OF TWILA L SUTTON TO RESOLVE CURRENT PROBLEMS WITH THIS DEPARTMENT OF CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
NUMBER TWO, TO PAY FOR ANY LIENS AND OR DEBTS THAT MAY IN INCUR TO DATE ON ABOVE RESIDENCE.
AND OWNER NUMBER THREE, TO SELL SET PROPERTY TO USE TO COVER INCURRED DEBTS AGAINST, AGAINST ABOVE LISTED RESIDENCE.
[00:25:01]
NUMBER FOUR, TO HUMBLY ASK FOR 30 DAYS MORE EXTENSION TO FURTHER CLOSING ON THE SALE, THE SET PROPERTY.I'M CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING THE HOME TO HOME VEST, KYLE CRACKNELL, OWNER AT TWO TEN EIGHT SIX ZERO SEVEN THREE TWO FIVE.
MR. CRACKNELL HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE SITUATION AND IS STILL VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN THE PURCHASE.
MR. CRACKNELL ALSO AGREED TO CORRESPOND WITH YOUR OFFICE, LL RUSSELL IN THIS MATTER.
I HOPE THAT THESE LISTED INTENTIONS SINCE AND SINCERE REQUESTS FOR TIME EXTENSION CAN BE HONORED.
IT IS MY INTENTION TO TOTALLY VACATE THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO AND MOVE TO THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI PERMANENTLY SIGN TLA SUTTON.
AND WE HAVE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER BEFORE WE HEAR FROM, UH, MR. CRACKNELL? NO.
IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD BEFORE.
NAME IS KYLE CRACKNELL, UH, WITH HOME VESTS, UH, ADDRESS, UH, 1534 WEST HILDEBRAND AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, 7 8 2 0 7.
UM, I DO, UM, CURRENTLY HAVE A CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY FROM MS. SUTTON.
UM, I AM WITH, UH, HOME INVESTORS.
WE REMODEL HOUSES AND BRING 'EM UP TO, YOU KNOW, GOOD STANDARD AND GET GOOD FAMILIES IN, UH, TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS WITH THE PROPERTY.
AT THIS TIME, UH, WE'RE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE'VE RAN INTO ONE HICCUP.
THERE IS A ERROR THAT EVIDENTLY NOBODY KNEW ABOUT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN.
UM, WE HAVE TO DO THAT IN ORDER TO, TO, UH, TO GET, UH, CLEAR TITLE TO, TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE CLOSING.
I'M HOPING THAT'S GONNA BE IN A COUPLE WEEKS, BUT THERE'S NO GUARANTEES, UH, WHERE, LIKE I SAID, WE'VE GOT PEOPLE LOOKING AND, EXCUSE ME, COULD YOU PUT YOUR MICROPHONE TO YOUR MOUTH PLEASE? SURE.
IS THAT A LITTLE BETTER? OKAY.
SO ANYWAY, LIKE I SAID, WE'VE GOT THE TITLE COMPANY AND VARIOUS PEOPLE DOING SEARCHES TO TRY TO LOCATE THE, THE MISSING ERROR SO WE CAN GET EVERYTHING CLOSED.
IF THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN, UM, THE NEXT AVENUE WOULD BE TO GO THROUGH, UH, COURT SYSTEM, LEGAL SYSTEM, WHICH MAY TAKE THREE TO FOUR MONTHS TO DO A QUIET TITLE ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, MS. UH, MS. SUTTON'S 86 YEARS OLD.
SHE WAS GONNA USE THIS MONEY FOR HER MOVE TO, WITH ONE OF HER SONS IN MISSISSIPPI.
AND, UH, HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW, HER CARE FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY THE BOARD WILL TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AS FAR AS NOT WANTING TO DEMO THE PROPERTY.
AND LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE, WE HAVE THE FUNDS.
I'VE BEEN, UH, INVESTOR FOR 20 YEARS.
YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THE BILLBOARDS, TV ADS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO ONCE WE GET IT, WE CAN MOVE QUICKLY ON IT, BUT, UM, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING TITLE CLEARED AT THIS POINT.
UM, I THINK SHE'S GOT A SON OR TWO LOCAL THAT, YOU KNOW, WOULD PROBABLY BE WILLING TO MANAGE THE PROPERTY A LITTLE BETTER AS FAR AS THE HOARDING AND STUFF AND TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT.
BUT AT THIS POINT, I'M NOT THE OWNER, SO I CAN'T SIT HERE AND SAY I'M GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, RUNNING PEOPLE OFF ALL THE TIME OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO, UH, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT ONCE WE CLOSE ON THE PROPERTY, IT WILL PROBABLY BE THE NICEST HOUSE ON THE STREET ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH IT.
SO YOU, ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY QUESTIONS? NO.
YES, MR. ZUNIGA? I'LL SAY GO AHEAD.
UH, WHEN I LOOKED HERE AT THE CLOSING DATE MM-HMM.
SO, SO YOU DON'T SIGN THE CONTRACT, YOU PUT THE CONTRACT TO US? UH, NO, NO, NO.
THAT YOU'VE TAKEN IN THIS, THIS IS LEGAL.
I DO WANNA MAKE SURE BOARD YOU UNDERSTAND, UM, I'VE ALREADY LOOKED AT THIS.
IT'S BEEN SIGNED AND EXECUTED.
NOW WHETHER IT'S GONE THROUGH OR NOT IS NOT THE QUESTION.
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THERE IS A, WHEN I, I ALLOW YOU GUYS TO, TO, TO REVIEW DOCUMENTS.
IT'S WHETHER THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED
[00:30:01]
BY BOTH PARTIES.IT HAS NOW IN REGARDS TO CLOSING AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT, THAT'S OUT OF OUR CONTROL.
HOWEVER, UH, WHAT I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE ABLE TO REVIEW IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A SIGNED CONTRACT, I ALLOWED ALSO THE DOCUMENTATION IN REGARDS TO FINANCIAL MEANS OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
SO YES, THE CONTRACT IS, IS GOOD, WHICH IS WHY IT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.
UH, UH, THAT'S WHY IT'S IN FRONT OF YOU BOARD.
AND, AND FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, THE ONLY WAY A CONTRACT'S GOING TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU FOR REVIEW IS IF IT'S BEEN SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES.
SO, AND JUST TO CLARIFY ONE MOMENT, MR. ZIKA, THIS IS THE FINANCIAL ABILITY FROM THE PURCHASER, NOT FROM THE CURRENT OWNER.
THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S THE, THE REASON I, I, I, I INCLUDED IT IS BECAUSE OF THE CONTRACT.
AND, AND IT'S A TRUSTEE THAT IS SELLING IT, RIGHT? CORRECT.
WE TYPICALLY BUY EVERYTHING IN A TRUST OH, OKAY.
WITH OUR COMPANY AS THE BENEFICIARY.
BUT, UM, YEAH, WE, LET ME ASK, UH, LEGAL AGAIN, UH, THE SAME QUESTION.
IT WHATEVER DECISION GOES WITH THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT.
UM, ANY DECISION THAT THIS BOARD MAKES RUNS WITH THE LAND? UM, IT, IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO IS THE, THE OWNER OF THAT PROPERTY.
IT IS, IT, IT RUNS WITH THE LAND.
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, I WOULD REMIND THE BOARD THAT WE'RE BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER REPAIR FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND DEMOLITION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
I, I GUESS I HAVE ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS HERE.
WHO'S GONNA REPAIR THE PROPERTY? BECAUSE IT'S, UM, IT'S STILL MRS. SUTTON'S PROPERTY, IS THAT CORRECT? RIGHT.
AND, AND, AND LEGALLY I CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL I OWN IT.
WHICH WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF, AND YOU KNOW, I WISH WE WOULD'VE BEEN CLOSED ALREADY.
TYPICALLY, MY TITLE COMPANY'S VERY FAST AND WE CLOSE WITHIN TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
BUT, BUT YOU SAY THAT IF YOU DON'T CLOSE IT, LOOKING FOR AN AIR MIGHT TAKE YOU ANOTHER TWO OR THREE MONTHS, IS THAT CORRECT? IT'S POSSIBLE, YES.
SO YOU ARE ASKING US TO WAIT ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS HERE IF, IF, UH, YOU CAN'T FIND THE AIR? WELL, I MEAN, I, I WOULD, I WOULD SAY AT LEAST 30 DAYS TO, TO START OUT.
AND THEN IF WE CAN'T FIND, THEN MAYBE WE COME RE REVISIT AND SEE IF IT'S, IF IT MAKES SENSE FOR Y'ALL TO WAIT OR NOT.
I MEAN, THAT'S ULTIMATELY, THAT'S YOUR, Y'ALL, YOU KNOW, YOUR CALL.
AND I, AND I UNDERSTAND THE, THE CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORS, WHICH I WOULD BE THE SAME IF I WAS A NEIGHBOR TOO.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE STRUCTURE IS SOUND, OBVIOUSLY THE THE PORCH AND THE OTHER BUILDINGS, YEAH.
THEY, THEY'RE GONNA NEED TO BE GONE AND EVERYTHING, AND WHICH, YOU KNOW, WE PLANNED ON DOING.
UM, BUT THE THING IS, IS I, I GUESS ONE OF MY BIG CONCERNS IS, IS, IS MS UH, SUTTON AND HER NEED OF THAT MONEY FOR HER CARE, FOR THE, YOU KNOW, THE REMAINING OF, OF HER LIFE, AND IF WE GET, IF IT GETS DEMOED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OBVIOUSLY THEN NOBODY'S GONNA BUY THAT HOUSE FOR WHAT I'M PAYING FOR.
IT'S GONNA BE A LOT AT THAT POINT.
AND, YOU KNOW, SO I, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, SIR, BUT IT'S NOT, UM, IT'S NOT ON US TO SAY ABOUT HER FINANCES.
SO I'M, I'M LOOKING AT THE PROPERTY.
IT'S, IT'S UP FOR THE PORCH, THE, THE MESS BACK PORCH.
THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HOARDING.
IS THERE ANYBODY LIVING THERE RIGHT NOW? I, I THINK ONE OF THE SONS MAY BE THERE.
MS. SUTTON HAS GONE TO MISSISSIPPI TO ARRANGE EVERYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S COMING BACK ONE MORE TIME FOR CLOSING BEFORE EVERYTHING'S FINALIZED, BUT, UH, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING.
AND I THINK, UH, I THINK ONE OF THE SONS THAT UNFORTUNATELY IS, YOU KNOW, HAS MAYBE SOME ISSUES OR SOMETHING I'M NOT SURE IS, WAS LIVING IN THE HOUSE, SORRY, UH, ONE OF THE SONS IS LIVING IN THE HOUSE.
IT, IT'S, UH, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, UM, OR WAS WHEN I LOOKED AT IT, LIKE I SAID, IT'S BEEN, I DUNNO, I THINK, I THINK MAYBE THE CUTOFF, IT'S BEEN SIX WEEKS OR SO BEFORE I, SINCE I, SINCE I'VE BEEN IN THE HOUSE.
WE'LL LET HIM STEP UP AND ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
HEY, THIS IS OFFICER, UM, ALSO WITH THE, THE NORTH STAR COMMUNITY SERVICE UNIT.
UM, WE WENT ON MONDAY FOR A CLEANUP.
THERE WAS FOUR PEOPLE ASLEEP INSIDE, AND THERE WAS, UH, ANOTHER THREE SLEEPING OUTSIDE IN MAKESHIFT SHEDS, UM, IN, IN THE BACKYARD.
SO, SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHO WAS THERE SLEEPING ON MONDAY WHEN I WENT BY YESTERDAY MORNING, FOUR OF THOSE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS HAD ALREADY SET UP CAMP IN THE BACK, AND THE, AND THE DEBRIS IS ALREADY BUILDING UP AGAIN.
SOMETHING TO ADD? YEAH, AND TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED OF OFFICER KE, THERE'S BEEN OVER, UH, 50 CALLS JUST TO THAT HOUSE SINCE 2020, INCLUDING A RAPE.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY INCLUDE NARCOTICS CALLS, UH, RAPE FIGHTING DISTURBANCES WITH THE KNIFE.
[00:35:01]
THAT'S BEEN SINCE 2020 OVER 50 CALLS, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CALLS THAT THE NEIGHBORS CALL IN BECAUSE THAT HAVE DIFFERENT ADDRESSES.SO THE 50 CALLS HAS JUST BEEN SPECIFICALLY TO THAT HOUSE.
DANGEROUS PRIME, OFFICER RAMIRO GURA.
UM, SO WHEN WE DID CONDUCT THE DART INSPECTION, WE SPOKE TO MS. SUTTON AS, AS, UH, THE GENTLEMAN SAID SHE IS IN HER EIGHTIES.
UM, WILLIAM, I THINK IS HIS NAME IS ONE OF THE SONS THAT'S THERE.
HE'S ONE OF THE ONES HE WAS ACTUALLY LIVING IN THE BACKYARD, UM, WITH HIS, WITH HIS FRIENDS THAT HE BRINGS THAT ARE SQUATTERS TRANSIENTS.
UM, AT THAT TIME, MS. SUN HAD INDICATED SHE WANTED TO REPAIR THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THEN LATER ON WHEN WE, I WENT BACK TO DO CONDUCT A REINSPECTION, UM, IT WAS TOLD THAT SHE TOLD US, OR HER SON TOLD US THAT WAS THERE, THAT SHE HAD MOVED OUTTA STATE WITH HER OTHER SON TO MISSISSIPPI, AND SO THAT THEY HADN'T SIGNED A CONTRACT TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
UH, ONE OF THE CONCERNS, UM, YOU KNOW, REQUESTING THE REPAIR OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY, UM, IF THE STAR TRE GETS DEMOLISHED, THAT PROPERTY REMAINS IN THEIR NAME.
AND THERE IS, UM, THE CONCERN THAT THE SON WILL STAY AT THAT PROPERTY AND IT WILL BECOME AN, AN ENCAMPMENT BECAUSE THE PROPERTY REMAINS IN THEIR NAME.
UM, AND SHE HAD MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING FROM OUR INSPECTION THAT SHE INTENDED TO REPAIR THE PROPERTY, AND THEN SHE DECIDED TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
SO, UM, THAT'S JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.
HE, UH, ONE OF THE SONS IS STILL THERE.
THERE'S ANOTHER SON THAT WE BELIEVE THAT LIVES DOWN THE STREET, BUT HE STAYS AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY.
UM, SO THE SON THAT'S THERE IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEMS WITH BRINGING PEOPLE TO STAY IN THE BACKYARD.
SO IF WE ALLOW, UM, WHAT, WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN, SIR KYLE? I'M SORRY? KYLE.
IF WE ALLOW HIM THE 30 DAYS THAT HE NEEDS FOR CLOSING AND FOR SOME REASON THEY CAN'T FIND WHOEVER IT IS THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, THAT'S GOING TO, UH, CAUSE US TO HAVE ANOTHER THREE OR FOUR MONTHS FOR THEM TO FIND THIS PERSON, OR DOES THE SON HAVE THE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR MRS. SUTTON WHO HAS MOVED AWAY? I MEAN, THIS IS, THIS IS LIKE CHAOS.
SO THE, THE SON THAT'S THERE, I DIDN'T, I DO NOT BELIEVE HAS POWER, POWER OF ATTORNEY.
UH, THE, THE SON THAT SHE WENT TO GO LIVE WITH IS THE ONE THAT WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH.
UM, HE CONTACTED OUR SUPERVISOR AND IS, HE'S THE ONE THAT PROVIDED THE LETTER FOR TODAY.
SO, UM, I THINK THEIR INTENTIONS ARE, ARE VALID AND GOOD, UH, WITH, UH, HOPEFULLY THERE'S A GOOD OUTCOME.
UH, BUT IF THE, UH, MY OPINION, IF THE STRUCTURE GETS DEMOLISHED, IT'S GONNA BE BECOME A VACANT LOT WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST GONNA BE STANDING THERE AND WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM OF CLEANING THAT PROPERTY.
I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW WHERE THE, THE ROAD TO GOOD INTENTIONS GOES.
SO, UH, YOU KNOW, I'M, I HAVE TO LOOK AT FACTS HERE.
AND, UM, AND I, AND YOU KNOW, THE, I DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST, UM, WHY DID Y'ALL WAIT UNTIL THE 11TH OF OCTOBER TO EXECUTE THE CONTRACT? WAS IT THAT, WAS IT THEN THAT MRS. SUTTON CONTACTED YOU? OR, UH, YOU CAN COME BACK UP TO THE PODIUM? WAS IT THEN THAT SHE CONTACTED YOU OR WAS IT BEFORE THAT OR AFTER THAT, OR WHAT? I'M SORRY, I MISSED THE FIRST PART.
DID YOU ASK HIM WHEN THE EXECUTION, WHEN EXECUTED THE CONTRACT? YEAH.
WHY WASN'T IT EXECUTED BEFORE? DID SHE JUST CONTACT YOU? YEAH, WE, I JUST GOT A CALL.
UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT WE DO.
WE ADVERTISE AND SO YOU GOT THE CALL BEFORE THAT? YEAH.
SO SHORTLY BEFORE, I DON'T KNOW, I PROBABLY LOOKED AT THE PROPERTY.
I, I WOULD SAY A FEW DAYS BEFORE WE EXECUTED A CONTRACT, WHICH WAS ON WHATEVER DATE IT WAS, UH, EXECUTED ON OCTOBER 11TH.
SO IT'S ONLY BEEN NOT EVEN A MONTH.
AND I'M, I'M, MY QUESTION IS, DID SHE CONTACT YOU ALL BEFORE THAT AND, YOU KNOW, NO.
AFTER YOU LOOKED OVER THE PROPERTY AND DECIDED TO BUY IT, THEN YOU EXECUTED IT ON THE 11TH? NO, WE, WE WENT OUT, LOOKED AT THE CONTRACT, I MADE AN OFFER.
IT WAS RELAYED TO MS. SUTTON 'CAUSE SHE WASN'T THERE.
FAMILY MEMBERS TALKED, TOOK A FEW DAYS, THEY AGREED, AND THEN WE EXECUTED A CONTRACT.
AND LIKE I SAID, TYPICALLY WE'D, WE'D HAVE BEEN CLOSED BY NOW.
BUT, UM, THERE WAS A, AN ERROR THAT WE'RE TRYING TO LOCATE BECAUSE THE HUSBAND DIED, WILL WAS NOT PROBATED.
SO, UH, BY TEXAS LAW, YOU KNOW, INTERESTS GO TO THE WIFE AND TO THE KIDS WHILE THERE'S A KID THAT NOBODY KNEW ABOUT.
I GUESS THAT, AND THAT'S WHO THEY'RE TRYING TO TRACK DOWN.
SO THE ISSUE IS MS. SUTTON ALONE DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO SELL THE PROPERTY.
SHE NEEDS SIGNATURES TO CLEAR TITLE BY PARTIES THAT ARE SHE NEEDS AWARE ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
SHE NEEDS ONE, ONE SIGNATURE TO, TO CLEAR.
AND YOU ALL DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA
[00:40:01]
WHERE THIS AIR IS? UH, THEY HAVE AN IDEA THAT TENNESSEE, WE'VE GOT SOME MORE INFORMATION IN THE LAST COUPLE DAYS THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TRYING TO HAVE INVESTIGATIVE PEOPLE TRACK DOWN, SO, OH, GOOD LORD.YEAH, I MEAN, IT'S VERY COMMON.
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN MY BUSINESS AND THESE OLDER HOUSES, IT'S OH, I UNDERSTAND.
WE, WE, WE EASILY GET IT DONE, BUT YEAH.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO GUARANTEES.
BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, UM, SHE'S IN MISSISSIPPI ONE, THE KID THAT'S IN THE HOUSE IS A HOARDER.
THE THE PROPERTY IS, IS CONTINUINGLY, UH, CONTINUOUSLY BEING ABATED BY THE CITY SURE.
AND ALSO IT'S GONNA TAKE YOU MAYBE ANOTHER 30 DAYS OR 60 DAYS OR 90 DAYS TO GET THIS GUY TO SIGN IN TENNESSEE.
AND, YOU KNOW, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
BUT LIKE IT, YOU KNOW, LIKE MR. RA SAID, WELL KNOCK IT DOWN.
NECESSARILY KEEP THE, I DON'T WANNA KNOCK DOWN ANYTHING THAT'S STRUCTURALLY SOUND, THAT'S NOT MY INTENT OR OUR INTENT.
BUT I'M JUST LOOKING AT ALL THE RAMIFICATIONS OF IT, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
THIS CASE IS, COULD PROBABLY COME BACK TO US.
I MEAN, IF I OWNED IT, I'D, I'D CLEAN IT, SECURE IT, AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE OUT.
BUT THAT'S JUST NOT, NOT THIS TIME.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR ANY OF THE, UH, WITNESSES? I HAVE A QUESTION TO LEGAL PRIMARILY, DOES THE CITY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ABATE THE INTERIOR OF A STRUCTURE CHAIR? I, I, I WOULD SAY NO.
UM, THEY DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO ABATE THE INTERIOR OF A STRUCTURE.
UM, THEY DO, AS YOU CAN SEE, DO, HAVE THE ABILITY TO, UM, TAKE CARE OF THE OUTSIDE AND, AND ALL THAT STUFF.
UH, I WOULD SAY VERY RARE CIRCUMSTANCES, IF ANY.
AND I'D HAVE TO RESEARCH THOSE TO, TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ORDER A VACATE AND SECURE OF THE PREMISES, WHICH IS KIND OF A SECOND BEST.
SO IS ABATEMENT OF THE, I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA HAVE TO STOP YOU THERE, MR. COCKRELL.
I, AND I MEAN, NO DISRESPECT, BUT IT'S NOT PROPER FOR YOU.
ASK A QUESTION TO THE BOARD, BUT WE CAN, UH, MAKE SURE THAT ANY QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE CAN BE ANSWERED BY STAFF OR, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
CAN I MAKE A STATEMENT INSTEAD OF A QUESTION? SURE CAN.
UM, I THINK THE FAMILY WOULD BE AT THIS POINT, UM, 'CAUSE THEY'RE VERY INTERESTED IN SELLING AND GETTING RID OF THIS C S U AND I'M SURE THE NEIGHBORS ARE TOO, OF ABATING THE INSIDE IF THAT WOULD BE OF BENEFIT OR CONSIDERATION TO THE BOARD.
ARE THERE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
HEARING NONE, I WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
WHOEVER WANTS TO TACKLE THAT
IN OTHER WORDS, I CAN THINK OUT LOUD,
THE, THERE, THERE IS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE ITSELF IS A SOUND STRUCTURE AND IT'S SITTING ON MY TAX ROLL BASICALLY AT $57,000 WITH AN INVESTMENT OF WELL OVER $75,000 NOW GOING ON THE TAX ROLLS APPROACHING 120 TO $150,000.
UH, THE, THE BIGGEST ISSUE OR CONCERN THAT I'VE GOT IS THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE.
UH, IF THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE WERE ABATED, UH, THAT WOULD ELIMINATE SOME OF THE ROAD AND, UH, INSECT INFESTATION, UH, OR AT LEAST IT SHOULD.
AND I GUESS WE COULD PROBABLY ADD INTO THAT.
UH, IT NEEDS TO BE IN, UH, TREATED, COMMERCIALLY TREATED FOR INFESTATION, UH, AND COUNSEL, I'M, I'M ASSUMING THAT WE CAN ADD THAT AS PART OF OUR ORDER THAT IT WOULD BE INFEST, UH, REQUIRE PROFESSIONAL.
UH, IF, IF, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, THIS BOARD GAVE, UH, A RE A A REPAIR ORDER, UM, YES, ANYTHING THAT THE BOARD BELIEVED BASED ON THE, THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS PRESENTED IS AN ISSUE.
THE BOARD CAN ADDRESS THAT IN THE ORDER.
UH, WITH THAT MR. CHAIR, I DO HAVE A MOTION.
UM, I MOVE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 97 0 2.
HEIDELBERG IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, UH, AND THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS FEASIBLY BEING REPAIRED, BUT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, UH, IS NOT AND SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED.
UM, I WOULD ALSO ORDER THAT THE PROPERTY BE VACATED.
IT STAYED VACATED THAT THE, UH, GENERATOR ITSELF BE REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY, UH, AND THE ORDER THAT, UH, THE INTERIOR BE, UH, CLEANED
[00:45:01]
AND ALL TRASH REMOVED, AND THAT A PROFESSIONAL, UH, EXTERMINATOR BE BROUGHT INTO THE BUILDING FOR EXTERMINATION, UH, AND THAT THE, UH, REPAIRS ON THAT BE DONE IN 45 DAYS AND THE DEMOLITION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BE COMPLETED IN 30 DAYS.AND THE CODE VIOLATIONS FOR THE MAIN ARE SUBSECTIONS, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, AND 15.
AND SUBSECTIONS FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
I THINK WE MISSED 17 ON THE, UH, CODE SECTION FOR THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE CORRECTION IS ACKNOWLEDGED.
UH, IN ADDITION, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THE PROPERTY DOES NEED TO BE SECURED, UH, FROM ENTRANCE.
SO WE HAVE A, A MOTION FOR 45 DAY REPAIR ORDER FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE UNDER SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, AND 17.
THAT THE PROPERTY BE VACATED, UH, SECURED THAT THE INTERIOR BE CLEANED OUT, THAT A PROFESSIONAL EXTERMINATION TAKE PLACE ON THE PROPERTY DURING THAT TIMEFRAME.
AND A DEMOLITION ORDER, A 30 DAY DEMOLITION FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE UNDER SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
MR. CHAIR, I BELIEVE MR. SENECA HAS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, JESSE? NO.
AND WE HAVE A END REMOVAL OF THE, UH, GENERATOR AND REMOVAL OF THE GENERATOR.
UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.
MR. ZUKA, ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? HEARING NONE.
AND WE'LL READY FOR OUR NEXT CASE AT OUR NEXT CASE

UM, 2 5 9 TAF IS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF CARLIN'S GARDEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
GO LOOK AT, AT THE FOOTER PRESENTATION.
SO LOOKING AT THIS, UM, UH, SKETCH HERE, YOU SEE THE ACCESSORIES TOWARDS THE BACK.
THE ACCESSORY, UH, DOES, UM, IS A GARAGE WITH TWO APARTMENTS INSIDE.
UM, AND THEN THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
YOU DO SEE IT'S A HIP ROOF, UH, CROSS HIP, CROSS HIP ROOF, UH, ROOF IS IN POOR CONDITION.
YOU SEE THE DETERIORATION TO THE ROOF SHINGLES THERE.
THIS WAS, UH, LOOKS LIKE MAYBE A ROOM ADDITION THAT WAS ADDED TO THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE AT ONE TIME.
UM, THIS BACKROOM IS IN VERY POOR CONDITION.
AND THIS WAS ON, UH, OCTOBER 26TH.
WE, WE DID SECURE THE STRUCTURE.
UM, AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTION, UH, THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE LIVING IN THE MAIN, UM, TRANSIENTS THAT WERE LIVING INSIDE AND IN THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, UM, THAT WE DID ISSUE NOTICE TO VACATE AND ALL TRANSIENTS AND THE PEOPLE THAT WERE OCCUPYING THE STRUCTURE HAVE VACATED AND LEFT THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE REAR PORTION AGAIN.
THIS IS, UH, LOOKING FROM THE CROSSING STREET THERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THAT WINDOW, YOU SEE NATURAL LIGHT COMING IN FROM THE ROOF.
THAT PORTION OF THE ROOF HAS COLLAPSED.
YOU CAN SEE THE STRESS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THAT BACK ROOM LEANING INWARD TOWARDS THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
UM, I DO BELIEVE THAT'S DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THAT COLLAPSED ROOF.
YOU SEE THE DETERIORATION TO THE ROOF SHINGLES.
AND THIS IS TOWARD THE REAR PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE THAT YOU SEE THAT JOIST, UM, HOW MUCH IT'S TWISTING THERE.
UM, THE POSTS ARE LEANING AND THESE, UH, THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE NO LONGER BEARING, UH, LOAD, UH, ARE THEIR ENTIRETY OF THE LOAD ON THE POST.
NEXT SLIDE AGAIN, THIS IS BACK TO THE REAR PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE FROM THE NORTH SIDE.

YOU SEE THE DETERIORATION ON THAT LEFT SIDE, THAT LEFT EVOLUTION.
YOU SEE THE DETERIORATION TO THE WOOD MEMBERS, UH, THE, THE FRAMES TO THE, TO THE WINDOWS AND THE HEADERS, UM, ARE DETERIORATED, ROTTED, AND NO LONGER PROVIDING SUFFICIENT SUPPORT, UH, TO THE, TO THE ROOF SYSTEM.
AGAIN, THERE YOU SEE THOSE, UH, WINDOWS AND THOSE HEADERS THERE TO THOSE WINDOWS NOT PROVIDING SUFFICIENT SUPPORT.
YOU CAN SEE NATURAL LIGHT INSIDE THOSE WINDOWS DUE TO THE COLLAPSED ROOF.
AND THAT'S LOOKING FROM ONE OF THE SIDE WINDOWS.
YOU SEE THAT ROOF IS JUST COLLAPSED INWARD, AND YOU SEE THAT BACK DOOR IS BOARDED FROM THERE.
UM, SO THERE'S NO WAY TO GET FROM THE KITCHEN TO THAT BACK ROOM.
YOU SEE THE DETERIORATION TO THE CEILING JOIST.
THIS IS THE FRONT PORCH BEFORE ENTERING THE FRONT DOOR.
UM, THE PORCH IS SOFT AND SPONGY.
AND THIS IS GOING INTO THE STRUCTURE.
YOU DO SEE THE HOLES IN THE FLOOR.
UM, AGAIN, THROUGHOUT THE, THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE, THE SUBFLOOR IS VERY SOFT AND SPONGY.
UM, SO YOU ALSO, THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF TRASH.
THERE WAS NEEDLES IN THE PROPERTY.
THERE WAS NEEDLES INSIDE UNDER THE FOUNDATION, UM, THE, FROM THE TRANSIENTS THAT WERE STAYING IN THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS, UH, THE ONE OF THE LIVING ROOM.
THE LIVING ROOM BEFORE THE KITCHEN AREA.
YOU SEE THE AMOUNT OF TRASH, THE TRANSIENTS LEFT, THE DAMAGE TO THE WALLS, UM, DAMAGE TO AROUND THE WINDOWS.

POUR PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS.YOU SEE THE SHEET ROCK THAT'S COLLAPSING.
AND THERE YOU SEE THE SHEET ROCK.
THERE HAS A HOLE IN THE, UH, DETACHING FROM THE REST OF THE, UH, ROOF SYSTEM.
AS I POINTED OUT EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, THE, UH, ROOF SYSTEM AND THE ROOF COVER IN VERY POOR CONDITION.
UM, AND YOU SEE THE EVIDENCE OF THAT WITHIN THE CEILING.
THIS IS JUST THE, UM, SAME ROOM.

THAT'S TO ONE OF THE APARTMENTS.
AND BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
YOU SEE THAT, THAT WALL THERE, I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, THE DOOR THERE, UH, WITH THE LITTLE RAMP, AND THEN ANOTHER DOOR TO THE FAR RIGHT, THAT'S ANOTHER APARTMENT.
AND THE FLOOR IS VERY UNLEVEL SOFT AND SPONGY.
YOU SEE WHERE THEY ADDED PLYWOOD, UM, TO COVER UP HOLES.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, LEVEL THERE IS NOT LEVEL.
AGAIN, AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTION, THE PROPERTY WAS, UM, OCCUPIED.
THIS GENTLEMAN HAS VACATED THE PROPERTY AND ALL THOSE, ALL THE, ALL THE ITEMS THAT HE HAD IN THERE, HE REMOVED FROM THE, FROM THE STRUCTURE.
BUT YOU DO SEE THE SHEET ROCK WHERE IT IS DETACHED FROM THE ROOF SYSTEM.
YOU SEE THE WATER DAMAGE TO, AND THE WATER STAINS TO THE SHEET ROCK, UM, CAUSING COLLAPSE.
YOU CAN SEE, UH, KIND OF RIGHT ABOVE WHERE THE MAN IS STANDING.
UM, THE, THE WOOD DECKING THERE IS VERY WET AND, UH, UH, ROTTED.
AND YOU SEE THAT ROT TO THE, TO THE ROOF THERE TO THE CEILING.
THIS IS AFTER WE, UH, BOARDED THE PROPERTY.
SINCE WE BOARDED IT, UM, IT BECAME, UM, UNSECURED ONCE AND WE RESECURED THAT PROPERTY OR THE, THE ACCESSORY.
UM, SO IT'S CURRENTLY, UH, SECURE.
TO RECAP THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT 2 59.

SO I PUT A MOTION DETECTOR UP ON TOP AND I SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
AND DENISE MARTINEZ TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD SUBMITTED IT TO DALE RUSSELL ALREADY SINCE OCTOBER THE 28TH.
WHETHER HE HAD SEEN IT OR NOT, I DON'T KNOW.
AND, AND SIR, WHAT IS THAT APPLICATION FOR, UH, IMPROVEMENT AND REPAIRS OF THE HOUSE? UM, IT'S AN APPLICATION, UM, WITH THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO NEIGHBORHOOD AND HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
UM, IT'S, UM, F Y 2022 HOME REHAB APPLICATION.
WELL, THAT'S ABOUT IT BECAUSE, UH, I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE RE REPLY FOR THEM TO CALL ME TO SEND IN THE, WHATEVER THEY NEED FROM ME AND, UH, TO SEE IF I, UH, I'M APPROVED OR NOT.
AS FAR AS THE FUNDS ARE CONCERNED, I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY DID HAVE THE FUNDS AT THE TIME AND I APPLIED ON OCTOBER THE 13TH.
AND I'M JUST WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL ME BACK.
IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE TO WAIT.
AND IF SOMEBODY WENT BY THE HOUSE, THEY CAN SEE.
OF COURSE, NOBODY HAS, BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THAT.
UH, THE HOUSE HAS BEEN POWER WASHED, WHICH THEY DIDN'T SEE AT ALL.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEELING PAINT PEELINGS ON THE GROUND 'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T SEE EITHER.
SO THERE HAS BEEN SOMETHING STARTED THAT I STARTED DOING, BUT I CANNOT COMPLETE IT ALL TOGETHER.
NOT IN 10 DAYS LIKE THEY SAYS IN THAT LITTLE PAPER HERE.
AND ALSO IT SAYS THAT, UH, ADDITIONAL TIME TO COMPLY DUE TO FINANCIAL INABILITY.
I DON'T KNOW WHO WROTE THAT UP, BECAUSE IF IT ISN'T MONEY WISE, THEN WHO THE HECK IS GONNA PAY FOR THAT? THAT'S THE REASON I'M APPLYING FOR THAT RIGHT THERE, THAT APPLICATION.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR BECAUSE OF LACK OF MONEY.
THE APPLICATION DOES HAVE A, A RECEIVE DATE AS OF OCTOBER 13TH, 2021.
[01:15:01]
HAVE INITIALS BY MA.THE, THE CODE OFFICER TESTIFIED YOU WERE FIRST MADE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES ON JULY 1ST, 2021.
SO THE CODE OFFICER TESTIFIED YOU WERE FIRST MADE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES ON JULY 1ST, 2021.
IS THAT CORRECT? I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND YOU.
WERE YOU FIRST MADE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES ON JULY 1ST OF THIS YEAR? NORMALLY IT WAS, UH, 10 11 21 THE DATE IT GOT HERE.
CAN YOU, I'M GONNA ASK THE OFFICER TO CLARIFY PLEASE.
TO CLARIFY, THE, UH, JULY 1ST WAS FOR PROTECTIVE TREATMENT.
THE OTHER NOTICES WERE ISSUED ON OCTOBER 1ST.
SO ONE WAS MADE, YOU WERE MADE AWARE ON JULY 1ST OF ONE OF THESE ISSUES AND THE REMAINDER OF THEM ON OCTOBER 1ST? YES, I BELIEVE SO.
AND HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING, UH, YOU POWER WASHED THE BUILDING? HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING? I POWER WASHED THE HOUSE ALREADY.
AND APPLIED FOR THIS CITY? YES.
AND YOU'RE, AND YOU'RE TELLING US YOU DON'T HAVE THE
AND YOU DO NOT PERSONALLY HAVE THE ABILITY, FINANCIAL ABILITY TO MAKE THESE REPAIR? NO, I DON'T.
I DID CALL SOME, UH, CONTRACTORS, BUT THEY'RE WAY TO DARN HIGH SOMETHING THAT'S OUTTA MY LEAGUE, $15,000 JUST TO FIX THE HOUSE, SOLD THE CLAIM AND ADDITIONAL $15,000 TO PAINT IT.
AND WHEN I ASKED FOR AN ESTIMATE OR A PROPOSAL WRITTEN DOWN, THEY JUST GIVE IT TO ME VERBALLY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING WAY TOO HIGH.
AND I SAID, I WANNA SHOW IT TO CODE COMPLIANCE, HOW MUCH THEY'RE CHARGING.
THEY DON'T GIMME AN ESTIMATE 'CAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING WAY TOO HIGH.
SO IF, IF THE OUTCOME OF THIS GRANT PROGRAM IS THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO HELP, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO GET THIS WORK DONE? WELL, BY THAT TIME THEN I SHOULD BE, I NOT SHOULD BE, HOPEFULLY I GET SOMETHING ELSE DONE, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, I'M WAITING ON THAT, LIKE I SAID, ALREADY, HAVE A POWER WASH THE HOUSE.
SO I'M DOING SOMETHING, BUT I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING.
DO OTHER BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? EXCUSE ME, MR. IS IT GARRA? YES.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE DIDN'T GET LIKE THIS OVERNIGHT.
IT'S BEEN DECLINING FOR YEARS AND YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO IMPROVE THE, UM, THE PROPERTY IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? I MEAN, YOU, BECAUSE YOU POWER WASHED IT.
WELL, IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT I'VE DONE SOMETHING EVEN, AND BY, BY THE TIME WHENEVER THEY TELL ME THAT I DIDN'T QUALIFY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SOMETHING MIGHT COME UP.
YOU NEVER CAN TELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT A SOUS SAYER.
YOU'RE NOT WHAT? I CANNOT TELL THE FUTURE.
I'M JUST SAYING HOPEFULLY I CAN, I'M, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE, SIR.
YOU KNOW, DON'T INSULT ME BY SAYING THAT.
WHAT, WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY? THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL WE WANNA KNOW.
WHEN, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS? WHATEVER SAYS THAT I HAVE THAT THE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE HERE.
WELL, IF YOU DON'T GET THE, IF YOU DON'T GET THE LOAN THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IMPROVING YOUR PROPERTY? WHAT I'M GONNA TRACK WHATEVER I CAN, I CAN GIVE YOU ANOTHER ANSWER.
WHAT, WHAT DOES THAT CONSIST OF? I MEAN, DID YOU BRING IN ANY KIND OF A PAPER THAT WE COULD SEE WHERE YOU HAVE A, A PROPOSAL OF WORK OR FINANCIAL ABILITY? YOU DIDN'T BRING IN ANYTHING? NO, I DIDN'T.
'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY IF FINANCIAL AVAIL.
SO WHAT'S, WHAT'S YOUR PLAN? I ASKED THE CITY FOR HELP.
LIKE THAT, LIKE THAT STATEMENT THERE SAYS, OKAY, DON'T GET UP.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN, SIR? SINCE IT'S YOUR PROPERTY, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO TRY TO FIX IT? AND WHAT DOES THAT CONSIST OF? WE'RE GOING RUN IN CIRCLES.
WHAT, WHAT IT SAYS THAT VIOLATIONS HERE,
IF YOU DON'T GET THAT, WHAT IS YOUR PLAN TO FIX THE HOUSE? THAT'S A CASE.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO? I'M GONNA TRY TO FIX IT.
BUT, AND AGAIN, WHAT DOES THAT CONSIST OF? I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION.
I, I BELIEVE SHE'S ASKING, WE KNOW THE SCOPE OF WORK LAID, LAID OUT BY THE CITY, BUT WHAT'S YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS?
[01:20:02]
WELL, IF I CAN FIND SOMEBODY WHO CAN FINANCE THE REPAIRS, THEN I'LL GO THAT WAY.I DON'T HAVE TO, BUT I HAVE, UH, TO FIND SOMEBODY WHO WILL FINANCE IT.
IN THE MEANTIME, I'M WAITING ON THIS.
AND IF NOT, THEN THAT'S WHERE I'M GONNA GO.
SEE IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO FINANCE IT.
AND BOARD, I, I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, MY NAME IS JENNY RAMIREZ, CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER, BECAUSE THIS IS AN APPEAL, THIS IS THE OWNER'S RIGHT TO APPEAL THE NOTICES.
WE'RE COMING FORWARD JUST REQUESTING THAT THE NOTICES BE UPHELD AND AFFIRMED.
UM, WE ARE STILL WILLING TO WORK WITH THE OWNER.
WE KNOW HE'S APPLIED FOR ONE, UM, GRANT AND SOME ASSISTANCE.
IF FOR SOME REASON HE IS DENIED, WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH HIM TO FIND HIM SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, YOU KNOW, APPLICATIONS TO, TO TRY TO GET SOME ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE.
SO WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR CLOSE TO THE ENFORCEMENT PHASE FOR OUR ESCALATION.
WE ARE JUST HERE WANTING TO UPHOLD AND AFFIRM THE NOTICES AND THE VIOLATIONS AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
SO JUST TO RECONFIRM, UM, OUR, OUR STANCE AS THE CITY AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
WE ARE WILLING TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE OUTCOME IS OF HIS FIRST APPLICATION.
AND WE ARE WORKING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHERS THAT HE MAY, UM, QUALIFY FOR AS WELL.
SO TO, TO CLARIFY, HIS POSITION AT THIS POINT IS HE'S APPEALING THAT THESE ARE NOT ISSUES AT ALL.
AND ARE YOU'RE ASKING US TO CONFIRM THEY ARE ISSUES AND THEN YOU WILL MOVE FORWARD ACCORDINGLY? YES, SIR.
SO, SO THERE IS EITHER UP AND DOWN.
OKAY, IT, HE'S APPEALING IT OR TO REALLY THE DIRECTORS, THEN WE FEEL THAT THIS WAS RIGHT AND JUST THAT CODE COMPLIANCE DONE, THEN WE VOTE THAT IT WAS, AND IF NOT, WE WILL PUT IT.
SO THIS IS ALL, AND THEN FROM THERE ON, FROM THIS DAY ON, WHATEVER WE DECIDE IT GOES FORWARD.
JUST, JUST TO CONFIRM AND MAKE SURE THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS, UM, THIS IS NOT A SUMMARY ABATEMENT WHERE HE IS SOME, AND YOU ARE UPHOLDING IT OR NOT.
WHAT THIS IS, IS THIS IS A CODE HAS GONE ON TO THE PROPERTY AND SAID, HEY, WE BELIEVE THAT THESE MIGHT BE ISSUES.
THESE ARE, UH, WE, WE BELIEVE THESE ARE, ARE, ARE, ARE VIOLATIONS.
SO WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU A NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
UM, THE OWNER HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY, HEY, I DON'T BELIEVE THESE ARE ISSUES AT ALL.
AND PRESENT INFORMATION AS TO WHY HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ISSUES.
THE BOARD IS THEN GONNA COME BACK AND IF THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE ISSUES AND THEY ARE VIOLATIONS OF THE SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, THEN THIS BOARD SAYS, HEY, WE ASK THAT YOU TAKE THIS ACTION WITHIN THIS SO MANY DAYS, THIS DOES NOT ABSOLVE OR, OR, OR, OR, OR TELL OR, OR TEL CODE OR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
JUST, JUST, UM, MAKE SURE THAT HE HANDLES IT.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DOES CONTINUE TO WORK WITH HIM, UM, SUCH AS THE, THE APPLICATION HE'S PUTTING IN.
BUT RIGHT NOW WHAT HE IS SAYING, THAT OWNER HAS COME TO THIS BOARD AND SAID, HEY, I DON'T BELIEVE THESE ARE VIOLATIONS.
AND, AND THIS BOARD NEEDS TO DETERMINE IF THEY WERE OR NOT.
A MOTION THAT WE HAVE HELD, UH, DIRECTORS INSTRUCTIONS AND GO FORWARD WITH THIS CASE AS A CODE COMPLIANCE VIOLATION.
OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION TO UPHOLD THE SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE VIOLATIONS.
DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? NELSON? SECOND.
HAVE A SECOND FROM MR. NELSON.
THOSE, UH, THE CODE OF VIOLATIONS ARE 3 0 8 0.630 4.230 4.9 3 0, 4 0.1, 3.130 2.1 AND 6 0 5 0.1.
MR. CHAIR, I'M THIS, WE'LL TAKE TWO MOTIONS BECAUSE THE FIRST, UH, REPORT IS 3 0 4 0.2 ON JULY 1ST.
OKAY? ALL OTHERS ARE ON OCTOBER THE FIRST.
YES, MR. CHAIR, I THINK MR. NELSON IS TAKING MY JOB FROM YOU,
HE'S JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU THE WORK.
OKAY, SO TWO SEPARATE MOTIONS.
ONE FOR 3, 0, 2 0.1, AND ONE FOR THE OTHERS.
IS THAT CORRECT? 3 0 4 0.2 IS A VIOLATION ON JULY THE FIRST.
ALL OTHER VIOLATIONS WERE EXERCISED ON TEN ONE OF 2021.
AND I WOULD MAKE THE SECOND MOTION ON THE 10, UH, ONE ISSUES.
SO MR. ZIKA'S MOTION IS TO UPHOLD SEVEN ONE, WHICH IS PROTECTIVE OF TREATMENT.
[01:25:01]
MOTION WOULD BE TO UPHOLD ALL THE OTHER, OKAY, SO WE'LL FIRST VOTE ON, UH, MR. ZUNIGAS MOTION.DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? NO.

UM, THERE ARE NO BOARDS COVERING THE OUTSIDE TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE.
OKAY, THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
AS I SAID, THERE'S DIFFERENT, UH, TYPES OF SIDING.
THIS IS, UM, PROBABLE ALUMINUM SIDING AND MISSING SIDING.
UM, THE CITY DID, UH, SECURE THAT WINDOW, UM, BECAUSE I WENT THROUGH THE WINDOW, IT WAS EASIEST WAY TO MAKE ACCESS WHEN I DID MY WARRANT.
NEXT, THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION.
IT DOES NOT COVER UP AT THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE THE EAVES ARE ROTTING.
NEXT, THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION.
AGAIN, I WAS TRYING TO, UH, TAKE A PICTURE OF THE FOUNDATION.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SEAL PLATE IS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE GROUND AND IT IS ROTTING.
THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION FROM THE FRONT.
UM, IT'S HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE VEGETATION, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE, UM, SOME ROTTING TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE STRUCTURE.

UM, ALL THE SHEET ROCK HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE CEILINGS AND INTERIOR WALLS.
UM, THERE IS NO FLOOR COVERING.
THERE ARE A FEW SPOTS THAT HAVE HOLES IN THE FLOOR AND IN FOR THE EXTERIOR WALLS.
YOU CAN SEE FROM THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE, WHICH IS ALLOWING THE ELEMENTS INSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
I DID ASK FOR A FIRE REPORT, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE FIRE REPORT.
BUT IT'S, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THERE HAS BEEN, AGAIN, UH, THE COVERING THE, EXCUSE ME, THE EXTERIOR SIDING DOES NOT COVER THE OUTSIDE.
SO THE ELEMENTS ARE COMING IN.
YOU CAN SEE THIS ON THIS PICTURE ON BOTH.
AGAIN, THE SAME TYPE OF SITUATION.
AND THIS IS ROTTING BOARDS ON THE OUTSIDE.

YOU CAN, THE ELEMENTS ARE COMING INSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, WE HAVE SOME NEW CEILING JOISTS.

UM, EVERYTHING WILL BE PERMITTED, OF COURSE.
UM, I SPOKE TO CONNIE, UM, BEFORE BUYING THE PROPERTY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD MAYBE GET IT UP TO DATE AND, AND READY TO GO.
OF COURSE, UH, LIKE YOU HEARD EARLIER, IT TAKES ABOUT 30 DAYS TO OBTAIN, UM, TO GET THE TITLE COMPANY TO DO ALL THEIR WORK.
UM, WE GOT IT DONE IN 15 DAYS.
WE GOT IT CLOSED ON THE 29TH, AND ON MONDAY WE WENT FOR PERMITS.
I HAD, I BROUGHT MY CONTRACTOR WITH ME.
HE CALLED TO GET PERMITS, UNABLE TO GET PERMITS TO, UM, DO WORK ON THE HOUSE.
UM, I'VE GOT A SCOPE OF, UH, WORK THAT THAT WILL BE DONE, WHICH WILL BE, UM, STARTING OFF WITH FOUNDATION AND THEN THE ROOFING, AND THEN THE, TO SECURE THE EXTERIOR, THEN STARTING THE PLUMBING AND THE ELECTRICAL.
UM, I'M ASKING FOR ABOUT A 60 DAY, I MEAN, YEAH, 60 DAY, UM, UH, COMPLETION ON THE, ON THE STRUCTURE, EVERYTHING WHICH WILL BE PERMITTED IF POSSIBLE.

I KNOW WE HAD YOUR CONTRACTOR SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
MR. GONZALEZ, YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UH, 4 0 3 CHANNING, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 0.
ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD? YES.
I'VE DEALT WITH, UH, THE STRIKE TEAM MANY TIMES BEFORE, SO I'M PRETTY FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS.
I HAD MR. CALICE GET ME IN HERE JUST TO REASSURE THAT I, I KNOW THE PROCESS, UH, AS FAR AS HOW THE PERMITTING SYSTEM WORKS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WORK WITH PEOPLE THAT DON'T PULL PERMITS.
I COME IN AS A, WITH THE STRIKE TEAM, WITH THE ORANGE
[01:40:01]
TAG HOUSE.I, I WORK WITH THE STRIKE TEAM QUITE A BIT.
YOU KNOW, ALL THE DIFFERENT INSPECTORS.
SO I HAVE TO DO THINGS A CERTAIN WAY.
AND I KNOW WHAT THAT WAY IS SO THAT THE REGULAR INSPECTOR, IT'S NOT A STRIKE TEAM HOUSE, BUT WHEN THE REGULAR INSPECTORS COME OUT THERE, THEY LEAVE US ALONE BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THINGS THE WAY.
THERE'S NO, PLEASE LET ME SLIDE BY.
I'VE ALREADY DEALT WITH THE STRIKE TEAM.
I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN IF WE DON'T HAVE TO.
I MEAN, THEY'RE GOOD, GOOD FOLKS.
WE, THEY TAUGHT ME A LOT, BUT, UH, WE'VE LEARNED TO DO IT THE RIGHT WAY.
SO WE, WE JUST WERE LEFT ALONE.
WE WOULD GO PAST OUR ROUGH INS, GO ON TO THE NEXT PHASE AND CLOSE IT UP.
SO I KNOW THAT, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
JUST TO REASSURE THAT HE'S NOT GETTING INTO SOMETHING OVER HIS HEAD.
WE GO IN THERE, WE GUT THE HOUSES ANYWAY, SO WHEN I GET IN THERE, I MAKE HIM LOOK JUST LIKE THAT ANYWAY.
SO I, IT'S JUST LESS WORK FOR ME TO DO TO GET IN THERE.
I JUST START WORKING, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S, IT'S A WE'RE A STEP AHEAD ALREADY.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. GONZALEZ? HOW'S THE 60 DAY, UH, TIMEFRAME WORK? IT'S, IT'S TIGHT, BUT IT'S REALISTIC TO GET THE MAJORITY AS FAR AS ALL THE ROUGH INS PASSED, UH, AND GET INTO TOWARDS THE FINALS.
THAT'S REALISTIC TO GET ALL MY ROUGH INS PASSED.
UH, ROOFING FOUNDATION, FOUNDATION WILL BE DONE, ROOF WILL BE DONE, SIDING WILL BE CLOSED, DONE.
UM, ELECTRICAL CAN BE WIRED IN FOR ROUGH IN.
WE CAN'T REALLY CLOSE THINGS UP UNTIL OUR INSPECTIONS ARE ALL FOR PLUMBING, THINGS LIKE THAT.
I MEAN, IT'LL, ALL ROUGH INS WILL BE DONE BY THEN INTO THE FINAL PHASE.
BUT REALISTICALLY, YOU'LL BE HAPPY WITH ALL THE PASSES THAT ARE AT THAT POINT.
HOW'S YOUR, UH, SUPPLY CHAIN FOR, UH, WE HAVE, WE, NOTHING SPECIAL ORDER LONG.
I DON'T DO NOTHING SPECIAL ORDER.
IT'S JUST REGULAR SHEET ROCK, WOOD WIRE.
NOTHING OUTTA THE ORDINARY, REGULAR TILES.
I MEAN, IT'S, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT ARE PRETTY NORMAL.
WE DON'T GO OUT, I PURPOSELY DON'T BUY SPECIAL ORDER THINGS.
WE, WE BUILD OUR OWN CABINETS.
WE HAVE A CABINET MAKING COMPANY THAT WORKS WITH US.
SO CABINETS ARE AN ISSUE IF WE NEED CABINETS.
UM, WE, WE, I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES ON SUPPLY CHAIN REALLY, EVER.
THE ONLY THING I HAD AN ISSUE WAS WITH ROOF DECKING THAT WENT FROM EIGHT BUCKS TO 40 BUCKS.
YOU KNOW, WE JUST DID, UH, THREE HOUSES LAST YEAR AND WE HAD ADDIT THREE ADDITIONS THAT WE DID, AND WE HAD TO PAY THREE TIMES THE PRICE FOR ROOF TO O S B.
AND OTHER THAN THAT, WE NEVER STOPPED.
I MEAN, JUST, WE NEVER STOPPED.
YOU JUST GOTTA KNOW WHERE TO LOOK, KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SO, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. GONZALEZ? I JUST WANNA TELL WHOEVER WROTE THIS LETTER, THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING YOUR SCOPE OF WORK AND YOUR FINANCIALS AND ALL THAT, THE THINGS THAT WE ASKED FOR, YOU KNOW, DOING A SITUATION LIKE THIS.
THERE'S, UH, I THINK NOBODY ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, SO THE BOARD WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 93 VISTA IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
UH, IT IS FEASIBLE, BUT BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.
AND IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX.
ARTICLE EIGHT SECTIONS 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1 12 5, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND THAT THE STRUCTURE BE REPAIRED WITH ALL PERMITS AND SECURED UNTIL THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK IS DONE.

IT'S A REPAIR MOTION WITH A 60 DAY REPAIR ORDER.
AND DID YOU SAY REMAIN VACANT? WELL SECURED WITH ALL PERMITS.
DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION? HEARING NONE.
ALL OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING IT'S PARTICLE BOARD COVERING A CAMPER SHELL.
I DID NOT GO INSIDE THE STRUCTURE AND YOU'LL SEE WHY, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
UM, THIS IS THROUGH THE RIGHT ELEVATION WINDOW.
UM, MOST OF THE GLAZING IS MISSING FROM THE INTERIOR.
WE HAVE, UH, THE CEILING THAT IS COLLAPSING.
UH, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE COLLAPSED ITEMS ON THE FLOOR NEXT.
AND THERE ARE, THERE'S THE CEILING.
WE HAVE, UH, THE FLOOR SYSTEM HAS COLLAPSED.
UM, SO THAT IS WHY I DID NOT GO INSIDE THE STRUCTURE NEXT.
AND THE PORTION OF THE CEILING THAT IS STILL UP ON THE CEILING IS HAS ROTTED WOOD ME MEMBERS DUE TO A FAULTY ROOF SYSTEM.
AND WE SEE SOME ELECTRICAL WIRES HANGING OUT, WHICH IS A, A HAZARD.
NEXT AGAIN, THE THE ROOF SYSTEM IS LEAKING, AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE WOOD ON THE INSIDE THAT'S DETERIORATED.
NEXT, THIS IS THE FLOOR SYSTEM AGAIN.
JUST TOOK ALL PICTURES FROM THAT ONE WINDOW.
THE GLAZING IS PRETTY MUCH MISSING OUT OF EVERY SECTION.
UM, THE DEBRIS IS FROM THE FALLING CEILINGS AND, UM, THERE IS SOME TRASH AND DEBRIS IN THERE FROM A VAGRANT THAT GO IN AND OUT.

THE FRONT PORCH SYSTEM AND HANDICAP RAMP HAVE ROTTED WOOD AND IT'S MISSING HANDRAILS AND GUARDRAILS ON THE INTERIOR.
THEIR CEILING SYSTEM HAS COLLAPSED.
THE FLOOR SYSTEMS ARE ROTTED POST AND BEAM FOUNDATION THAT HAS SUNKEN AND IS TOO LOW TO OBTAIN PHOTOS.

UM, I'LL SEE IF THERE'S ANY UPDATES THAT, UM, SAVITA AND OR SAM CAN PROVIDE AT OUR FULL BOARD MEETING ON THE 18TH, BUT I DID FIND THAT OUT.
IT IS, IT IS UNDER LITIGATION.
YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING TO ME HOW PEOPLE CAN FILE AN APPEAL AND FIND MONEY FOR AN ATTORNEY, BUT THEY CAN'T FIX THEIR DAMN PROPERTY.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS? YEAH.
UM, MR. RAMIREZ, JENNY, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS BOARD? WE HAVE HAD SOME APPLICATIONS COME IN, BUT WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY FINALIZED.
JUDY, IF YOU CAN CONFIRM THAT, I DON'T BELIEVE WE'VE HAD ANY FINALIZED THOUGH.
JUDY KRUM, D S D? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
WE'VE HAD SOME APPLICA APPLICATIONS COME THROUGH AND WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR IT TO BE FINALIZED AND PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL.
UH, I HAVE HOW MANY OPENINGS ON, UH, THAT LARGE DO WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, FOR HISTORICAL REPAIRS, ET CETERA? WE GOT THREE.
I I I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY WE HAVE FOR AT LARGE.
I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S ONE PERSON THAT IS GOING TO BE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED FOR THE AT LARGE POSITION, UM, AGGRESSIVELY.
SO OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I I, I COULDN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY WHO THAT INFORMATION.
WE GET TO FIND OUT ONCE IT'S, IT'S SENT TO US AND THEN JUDY ASKS US TO DO, UM, SOME OF THE LEGAL STUFF.
UH, YEAH, WELL, I WAS JUST THINKING OUT LOUD, REALLY.
UH, WE HAVE MR. HARPER, WE HAVE MICHAEL THAT IS NOT GONNA BE APPROVED.
YOU SEE, AND HE'S, AND, AND, AND TWO WAYS THERE, JUST SO YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MR. HARPER, UM, THAT'S WHO I'M SPEAKING OF.
AND I I I, I DON'T THINK I NEED TO, TO, OH, NO, I, I DIDN'T, BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN NO, WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU IS, I, I, I, I'M LETTING YOU KNOW THERE IS AN AT-LARGE POSITION.
UM, I I I DO BELIEVE THAT, UH, MR. HARPER'S DISTRICT WENT A DIFFERENT WAY.
BUT, UM, AS SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN YOUR, YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL FOR A WHILE, I THINK HE'S, HE'S VITAL AND, AND IMPORTANT TO US.
SO, UM, WE'RE OPENLY ADVOCATING FOR HIM TO STAY ON AND PLEASE RECONSIDER, UM, POSSIBLY BEING OPEN FOR AN AT LARGE POSITION.
UM, I, I THINK A LOT OF THE NEW PERSONS THAT WE'VE BROUGHT IN, UM, UH, HAVE, HAVE HELPED OUT A LOT.
UM, DEV RENEE HAS, ROBERT, YOU HAVE, I MEAN, IT, IT'S BEEN AMAZING.
MR. HARPER HAS, SO I I I WOULD NOT WANT TO LOSE, UH, THE MAKEUP THAT WE HAVE.
I I THINK IT IS, UM, REPRESENTATIVE OF SAN ANTONIO, UNLIKE IT HAS BEEN IN, IN A REALLY LONG TIME.
THAT'S, THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION.
THAT'S NOT THE CITY'S OPINION.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M, I TALKED TO HIM
HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO TALK PROUDLY, BUT IT'S IN ME TO KEEP THE COMPOSITION AND THE LEADERSHIP THAT I BELIEVE IS THE SOLUTION.
WE'LL SEE, AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED HIM.
I APOLOGIZE, MR. I APOLOGIZE, MICHAEL, BUT I MEAN, I APPRECIATE IT.
AND WE WORKED TOGETHER AND I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, WHAT NEEDED TO BE KEPT QUIET OR NOT, BUT LET'S, LET'S BE, LET'S BE REAL.
YOU GUYS ARE VITAL TO WHAT WE DO.
AND WE, AND WE NEED YOU AND WE NEED YOU, MR. HARPER.
SO, UM, WE APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE THAT YOU GIVE, YOU KNOW, AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT, UM, COUNCIL PERSONS THAT COME IN AND WANT TO DO THEIR THING, AND THAT'S FINE.
BUT IF WE HAVE AN OPEN POSITION, UM, AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO, TO, TO, TO, TO FIND OUT IF THAT PERSON WANTS TO KEEP THAT SPOT OR, OR TAKE THAT SPOT, THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
I, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT, THAT, UH, A LETTER COULD BE WRITTEN WITH MY SIGNATURE ON IT AS THE BOARD CHAIR AND, UH, YOU KNOW, TO KEEP HIM, HE'S, HE'S VITAL TO THIS ORGANIZATION BECAUSE HE HAS EXPERIENCE THAT SOME OF US DON'T HAVE WITH, I CAN TELL YOU THAT DECISION IS ON MR. HARPER.
IF, IF HE WANTS TO GO FOR THAT AT LARGE POSITION, IT, BUT IT, IT HAS, IT HAS TO BE HIS, HIS DECISION.
IT'S, IT'S NOT WHETHER, UM, WE WANT HIM OR NOT, OR WHETHER HE CAN, HE CAN STAY.
IT'S WHETHER HE HAS THE ABILITY, OPPORTUNITY, AND THE WANT TO.
[02:00:01]
IS A POSITION OPEN FOR HIM.WHAT, WHAT'S INVOLVED IN THE APPOINTMENT FOR THAT POSITION APPLICATION? I, I DON'T KNOW.
I'M GONNA, THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FEW TIMES THAT LEGAL'S GONNA SEND IT OVER TO STAFF AND JUDY.
UM, BUT I, I DO KNOW THAT IN SPEAKING WITH MS. RAI, UM, WE, ONCE WE FOUND OUT, UM, THAT, UH, YOUR DISTRICT WAS GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE, WE WANTED TO SEE IF YOU WERE, UM, QUALIFIED FOR THE AT LARGE.
WE WERE TOLD, AND JUDY CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, YES.
BUT AT THE TIME, WE WEREN'T SURE IF YOU, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.
SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WANT YOU NOW AGAIN, THE DECISION'S YOURS AND WE'LL RESPECT ANY DECISION THAT YOU MAKE.
BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, UH, LEGAL, UH, VALUES YOUR, YOUR, YOUR OPINION AND YOUR EXPERIENCE.
I, I, I'M GOING TO SAY THAT THE BOARD DOES.
SO, UH, WE WANT YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.
I'LL GET WITH JUDY AND ANSWER TO MS. BROWN'S QUESTION SPECIFICALLY AS SHE HAS THE AUTHORITY AND THE RIGHT TO SEND ANY LETTER SHE WANTS TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT SHE DOES.
AND I'M NOT TELLING YOU NOT TO
WELL, DO I NEED TO COMPOSE IT OR DOES JUDY NEED TO COMPOSE IT? AND IF A LETTER'S COMING FROM YOU, UH, THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD, THEN THE LETTER NEEDS TO COME FROM YOU.
AND WHEN DO I NEED TO HAVE THAT IN? UM, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
THAT'S THE BEST ANSWER I CAN GIVE YOU BEFORE THURSDAY.
AND YOU DO WANNA STAY, MICAH? IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING? I, I WILL, I I WASN'T GOING TO, BUT I I WILL.
WELL, I, I HOPE WE CHANGED YOUR MIND.
YOU DID CHANGE MY MIND AND I APPRECIATE IT.
HEY, THE LAST ONE YOU USE JUST YAY,
I'LL GET, I'LL GET WITH JUDY ABOUT IT.
AND, AND JUST A REMINDER, WE HAVE A FULL BOARD NEXT WEEK, CORRECT? YES.
ON THE 18TH OR AT THE 18TH? OH, YEAH.
ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS? 18TH.
HEARING NONE WITHOUT OBJECTION.
