THIS IS GONNA BE THE BACK ELEVATION.
UH, AGAIN, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE, BUT BEHIND THE FENCE, UNDERNEATH THE WINDOW, THERE IS A HOLE THAT IS GOING INTO THE, INTO THE ACCESSORY.
NEXT TO THE RIGHT OF THAT DOOR, THERE IS WATERWALL SEPARATION, WHICH IS ALLOWING THE ELEMENTS TO GET IN AS WELL AS SA SLIGHT SAGGING TO THE ROOF SYSTEM.
BUT AGAIN, IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH ALL THE LEAVES AND TREE LIMBS ON THE ROOF.
MOVING INSIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING IN THE SHEATHING TO THE WALL ARE SIGNS OF THE RODENT HARBOR BRIDGE.
AND I AM AWARE THAT ON OUR RECORD IT DOES STATE THAT FROM THE PREVIOUS OFFICER THAT DID THE INITIAL INSPECTION, HAD
[00:15:01]
NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SEVERAL RODENTS THAT WERE IN THE STRUCTURE THAT STARTED FLEEING.I DIDN'T SEE ANY ON THIS RECENT PHOTOS, BUT IN THE, IN OUR RECORD IT DOES SHOW THAT WE DO HAVE, WE HAVE SEEN THAT THERE IS SOME SLIGHT WATER DAMAGE TO THE DECKING MOVING INTO THE MAIN AREA OF THE GARAGE.
AGAIN, THAT SHEATHING IS SHOWING THAT THERE'S, THAT'S ALL FROM THE RODENTS THAT WAS HARBORED INTO THE STRUCTURE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS LIGHT COMING INSIDE.

TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 5 7 5 EAST CONGRESS AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTION 7, 8 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE MAIN AND 7, 8, 11, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE ACCESSORY IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE 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 CONDITION OR DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS TO HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION FOR THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 5 7 5 EAST CONGRESS AVENUE.
DO ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE, UH, CODE OFFICER AT THIS TIME? MADAM CHAIR? I DO.
I NEED TO ADD AN AMENDMENT TO ADD DEFINITION 12 TO THE ACCESSORY.
UM, CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE SIX? CAN SIX YOU BOARDED UP THE HOLE AS OF LAST WEEK? YES SIR.
AND THIS IS, UH, 2 25, WHICH WAS THE LAST ENTRY INTO THE YES ON THE METER.
THE METER'S STILL THERE, WHICH GIVES A PERCEPTION, THERE'S STILL POWER.
I DID CONFIRM WITH C P S THAT, THAT AS OF JUNE 18TH, 2018, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACTIVE POWER CONNECTED TO THE STRUCTURE.
THE METER IS STILL THERE, BUT THERE'S NO POWER GOING TO IT.
AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY SIGNS OF TAMPERING WITH THE METER WHEN I WAS THERE, BUT THEY WERE TAMPERING WATER.
'CAUSE NORMALLY WHEN THE METER'S THERE YES.
LIKE MOST OF THEM THAT YOU BRING IN THE METER HAS BEEN PULLED.
SO THIS WOULD GIVE THE PERCEPTION THAT.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
CAN WE GET THE, UH, FIRST PERSON TO SPEAK PLEASE? JOHN PENA, IF WE CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
I LIVE AT 2 0 1 LANIER RANCH ROAD, DRIFTWOOD, TEXAS 7 8 6 1 9.
PROCEED WITH YOUR TESTIMONY, PLEASE.
UH, SO THE HOUSE BELONGED TO MY FATHER.
MY PAR MY PARENTS, UH, MY MOTHER DIED, MY FATHER'S DIED.
UM, THE HOUSE WAS LESS TO THE FAMILY.
I WAS, UH, PUT IN CHARGE AS THE EXECUTOR.
WE RENTED IT FOR A WHILE, UH, AFTER RENTERS, UH, DID SOME DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE.
WE GOT RID OF THEM, CLEANED THE HOUSE OUT.
UH, AND SOMEONE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING CARE OF THE YARD.
I'VE BEEN PAYING THE TAXES ON IT.
UH, BECAME AWARE OF THIS LAST NIGHT WHEN ONE OF MY SISTERS, UH, FAXED ME OR TEXTED ME A, UH, COPY OF THE LETTER THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED, THE REGISTERED LETTER.
I HAD NOT SEEN THE LETTER UNTIL, UH, SHE SENT ME A TEXT OF IT.
UM, I DO HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PUT THE HOUSE BACK TOGETHER, AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO.
EITHER PUT THE HOUSE BACK TOGETHER OR, UH, SELL IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER.
UM, SO, UH, AND I CAN TAKE THAT UP AS A RESPONSIBILITY.
UH, CAN WE, UH, SEE THE DOCUMENTS? YEAH.
[00:20:01]
A FINANCIAL STATEMENT.THIS IS FROM ONE OF MY INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS.
THIS IS ABOUT $400,000 IN THAT ACCOUNT.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT IT WOULD COST ANYWHERE NEAR THAT TO REPAIR THE HOUSE.
UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE WAS SCANNED IN.
THERE'S THE LETTER OF TESTAMENTARY GIVES ME THE, UH, RESPONSIBILITY AND THE RIGHTS AND THE PRIVILEGES TO, UM, DISPOSE OF THE ESTATE.
COULD YOU SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE PLEASE? SURE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU CAN, YOU CAN ADJUST THAT MIC TO FIT, SO YOU, OKAY, THERE YOU GO.
MR. PENA, I, THIS IS LEGAL TO YOUR RIGHT.
I, I WOULD APPRECIATE IF, IF YOU'RE NOT ASKING QUESTIONS TO THE BOARD, QUESTIONS TO THE BOARD AND ALLOW THEM TO LOOK THROUGH THE INFORMATION AND THEN LET THEM PRODUCE THE QUESTIONS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE.
HAVE YOU PUT A TOGETHER ANY SCOPE OF WORK OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? NO, I HAVE NOT.
I, YEAH, I WOULD NEED TIME TO PIECE SOMETHING TOGETHER, BUT I'M SURE I CAN.
YOU'VE HAD POWER OF ATTORNEY? YES.
FROM 2007 THE RENTERS WERE IN THERE AND EVERYTHING.
UM, AND WE HAD RENTERS IN THERE TEMPORARILY.
AND THEN IN ABOUT 18, 20 18, WE GOT RID OF THE RENTERS 'CAUSE THEY HAD DAMAGED THE HOUSE.
AND I HAD CLEANED EVERYTHING OUT OF THE HOUSE AND AT THAT POINT ASKED AN INDIVIDUAL TO UPKEEP THE HOUSE UNTIL WE COULD, UH, TURN IT OVER TO THE NEXT GENERATION.
OBVIOUSLY THAT HASN'T BEEN, UM, I HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION AND I HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO DO IT AS WELL WITH THAT.
SO IT'S BEEN A, IT WAS EMPTIED OUT AND THEN CLOSED UP.
SO FROM 2000, UH, 2018 TO NOW, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE DECIDED TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
THE CITY'S BEEN OUT THERE SEVERAL TIMES TO ABATE IT.
ABATE MEANS ALSO PUT WINDOW SECURE.
HAVE YOU BEEN OUT THERE SINCE 2018 TO NOW TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THIS PROPERTY? I HAVE NOT.
I HAD ASKED AN INDIVIDUAL, UH, A RELATIVE NEIGHBOR TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE HOUSE AND KEEP UPKEEP.
I HAVE BEEN PAYING THE TAXES ON THE PROPERTY AND WE'RE CURRENT ALL THE WAY UP TO THIS YEAR.
AND YOU NOTIFIED LAST NIGHT FROM YOUR SISTER? YES.
WHY DIDN'T YOU GET NOTIFIED BEFORE IF YOU'RE THE CUSTODIAN? I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING DIRECTLY TO MY MAILING ADDRESS.
AND THAT'S ALL AT THIS TIME, SIR, DID YOU BRING IN UH, HE DOESN'T HAVE IT.
UH, BUT SIR, DO YOU, ARE YOU SURE YOU, YOU KNOW, UM, THIS IS GONNA TAKE A TON OF MONEY TO REPAIR.
THIS, UM, THIS IS, UM, BAD JUJU,
AND ALL THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU HAVE ARE FROM 2007, THAT WAS WHAT, 10, 15 YEARS AGO? YES, WHATEVER.
AND, UH, BUT THIS FROM PROBATE COURT TO, I GUESS TO SAY THE PROPERTY IS YOURS OR WHOSE EVER.
AND, UH, THE OTHER ONE THAT YOU SHOWED, COULD YOU BRING UP THE OTHER ONE? JUDY.
JUDY, COULD YOU BRING UP THE OTHER DOCUMENT? OH YEAH.
UM, YOU DIDN'T BRING IN A SCOPE OF WORK FROM A CONTRACTOR OR HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE OR HOW MUCH MONEY IT'S GOING TO COST TO REPAIR OR FIX THIS PROPERTY, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A TON OF MONEY.
SO I, I DON'T, I DON'T SEE THIS, I DON'T SEE THIS AS A REPAIR.
UH, I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A CONTRACTOR OUT THERE, GET A SCOPE OF WORK, AND GET AN ESTIMATE ON WHAT IT WOULD COST TO GET PIECE BACK TOGETHER, AND THEN MAKE THAT DECISION FOR THE FAMILY TO EITHER HAVE THE HOUSE DESTROYED OR INVEST MY OWN MONEY TO HAVE THE HOUSE REPAIRED, AND THEN PROBABLY PUT BACK
[00:25:01]
ON THE MARKET AND SELL IT.IF I CAN'T, IF I CAN'T TRUST PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF IT, THEN I JUST AS SOON SELL IT AND DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY.
YOU'VE HAD AMPLE TIME TO DO THAT, SIR.
AND NOW YOU WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO COME IN HERE AND ASK FOR EXTRA TIME.
YOU'VE HAD AMPLE TIME TO DO THIS.
IF I WERE NOTIFIED, MA'AM, I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
I HAD NOT BEEN AWARE THAT THE HOUSE WASN'T BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
AND YOU'VE HAD AMPLE TIME TO PAY UP THE, THE FEES ON THE PROPERTY FOR THE, UM, FOR THE CLEANUP.
AGAIN, THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE EITHER, SO I'LL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
I CAN DO THAT TODAY IF, IF REQUESTED.
UH, I DO HAVE, I HAVE BEEN PAYING THE TAXES EVERY YEAR AND HAVE KEPT THE TAXES CURRENT THAT IS COMING FROM MY ACCOUNT, MY PERSONAL ACCOUNT.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT.
CAN WE GET, UH, I THINK IT'S JANE HENRY.
AND AS A REMINDER, YOU HAVE A LIMITED TIME TO SPEAK AND KEEP, YOU HAVE A LIMITED TIME TO SPEAK AND KEEP THE TOPICS CURRENT TO THE, UH, PROPERTY.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
KEEP YOUR COMMENTS LIMITED TO THE PROPERTY.
CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME? YEAH, JUST TURN IT DOWN.
I LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I AM ON THE BOARD OF THE MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
MA'AM, YOU NEED TO STATE YOUR ADDRESS.
STATE YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
MY ADDRESS IS 5 22 EAST DIXON AVENUE, D I C K S O N.
AND THE HOUSE THAT I'M LIVING IN, I BOUGHT FROM MY FAMILY RIGHT BEFORE MY FATHER PASSED AWAY.
HE WAS THE FIRST OWNER OF THE HOUSE BUILT IN 1954.
OUR FAMILY MOVED AWAY FROM THERE IN 1961.
EVER SINCE THEN, THE HOUSE WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO DETERIORATE.
USUALLY, UM, MOST MOSTLY OCCUPIED VACANCIES WERE SHORT.
MY FIRST, UH, KNOWLEDGE OF THIS HOUSE AT 5 75 CONGRESS WAS, UM, IN 2014 WHEN I WAS LOOKING TO BUY A HOUSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I WENT TO THE HOUSE RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO IT, WHICH WAS VERY NICE.
RECENTLY, UH, RENOVATED ADDITIONS TO THE HOUSE, VERY, VERY NICE HOUSE AND YARD.
AND, UH, BUT THEN I LOOKED AT THE HOUSE NEXT TO IT, 5 75, AND IT WAS OVERGROWN.
THIS WAS IN 2014, OVERGROWN THE GARAGE STRUCTURE.
SINCE I WAS IN THE HOUSE NEXT TO IT, THE ONLY, UH, STRUCTURE I COULD SEE REALLY WAS THE GARAGE THAT CONVERTED GARAGE, UM, NEXT TO IT.
AND IT WAS TOTALLY DILAPIDATED.
AND I THOUGHT, NO, I, I COULDN'T LIVE NEXT DOOR TO THAT.
UH, THEN I MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN 2018.
UH, I WOULD GO FOR WALKS THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND I WOULD NOTICE THIS HOUSE STILL OVERGROWN, STILL VACANT IT.
UM, GOT TO KNOW SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS.
THEY TOLD ME IT'S BEEN, UH, AT THAT TIME, THAT WAS 2018.
THEY SAID IT HAD BEEN ABANDONED FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS.
SO THIS IS THIS MAN TELLING US THAT IT HAS BEEN RENTED UNTIL 2018.
I JUST FIND THAT INCOMPREHENSIBLE.
I WOULD LIKE HIM TO BE ABLE TO, UH, SHOW A LEASE GOING UNTIL THEN.
AND HIS INCOME STATEMENTS UP TO 2018.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT FOR A SECOND.
THAT, AND I AM, I'M SHOCKED BY THE THINGS I'VE SEEN HERE TODAY.
I CAN'T, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT EVER WANT TO SEE A DEMOLITION THAT ONLY INVITES DEVELOPERS AND WILL RAISE OUR TAXES.
BUT IF THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO ALLOW THE DILAPIDATED BUILDING, UH, AND THE, AND THE GROUNDS TO JUST GO, UH, UH, NEGLECTED YEAR AFTER YEAR, AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR BY AN OWNER AND, UH, THE CITY HAS TO COME OUT AND CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY, CUT DOWN THE GRASS, WHICH IS THIS HIGH.
AND, UH, THEY DON'T EVEN TRY TO PROP UP THE FENCES, WHICH ARE FALLING AND BOARDS ARE MISSING AROUND THE PROPERTY.
UH, AND SOMETIMES THEY DO IT BETTER THAN OTHERS.
THE PLACES, THE OPENINGS, THE DOORS, THE WINDOWS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN IN.
AND, UM, THE CITY JUST IS SPENDING ALL THIS MONEY FOR THIS TOTALLY NEGLIGENT OWNER.
AND THE PICTURES THAT I'VE SEEN TODAY, I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT.
AND TO SEE OUR NEIGHBORS WHO LIVE CLOSE TO THERE, THEY ARE AFRAID.
[00:30:02]
AND ACTUALLY, SO AM I.THE ILLICIT ACTIVITY THAT THAT HOUSE INVITES, INVITES IS ONLY PROMOTED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE OWNER WHO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE HOUSE OR THE NEIGHBORS.
AND IF YOU'RE HIS, THAT'S YOUR TURN.
IS THIS THE, WE ALSO HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT TO READ AND INTO THE RECORD.
THIS IS FROM THE MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, RECEIVED ON MARCH 6TH TO THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD MISSION.
SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS A DEMOLITION OF 5 75 CONGRESS AVENUE.
THIS PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN CARED FOR BY THE OWNER FOR YEARS.
IT HAS BEEN VACANT FOR MANY YEARS, AND DURING THIS TIME, IT ILLEGALLY HOUSED SQUATTERS DRUG DEALERS, PROSTITUTES, AND THIEVES.
THE HOUSE IS FALLING APART AND IS SEVERELY DAMAGED INSIDE.
AND FOR THE PAST YEAR, CODE COMPLIANCE HAD THE OVERGROWN YARD CUT AND CLEAN BECAUSE THE OWNER DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY, THUS CREATING A VERY POOR QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE NEXT TO 5 75 CONGRESS AVENUE.
OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS OF RESIDENTS AND MS. J AND A CONSISTENTLY CALLED 3 1 1 AND 9 1 1 ON THE ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, OUR CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICERS AND OUR SAFE OFFICER HAS, HAS ASSISTED US DURING THOSE YEARS TO DOCUMENT THE INCIDENTS.
SINCE THE OWNER REFUSES TO FIX THE HOUSE OR TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY FOR SO MANY YEARS, WE SUPPORT THE DEMOLITION OF 5 75 CONGRESS AVENUE.
THIS WILL BETTER THE QUAL, THE LIFE, THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE NEIGHBORS ON CONGRESS STREET, AND GIVE THEM FAITH IN THE PROCESS TO SOLVE THIS LONG-TERM PROBLEM FOR THIS UNCARED PROPERTY.
SINCERELY, MS. THERESA BANEZ, PRESIDENT OF THIS MISSION, SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
MS. BROWN HAD A COMMENT OR YOU HAD A QUESTION? I HAVE A MOTION.
OH, YOU HAVE A MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION.
I FOUND THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 75 CONGRESS, UM, I'M SORRY, 5 75 CONGRESS AS A, UM, PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS, UH, NOT FEASIBLE FOR REPAIR AND, UM, BECAUSE OF, WELL, BECAUSE OF SEVERAL ISSUES AND IT'S TIME.
IT'S IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT SECTIONS FOR THE MAIN HOUSE.
IT'S SECTIONS 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND I FIND THAT THE PROPERTY, UM, CAN BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN A 30 DAY PERIOD.
SO WE HAVE A, WE CURRENTLY HAVE A 30 DAY DEMOLITION FOR 5 7 5 CONGRESS AVENUE FOR THE MAIN 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND MADAM CHAIR? SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? NO DISCUSSION.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF 5 2 0.

PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR
[00:50:01]
POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIR.THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 2 2 5 ANGELA STREET.
DOES THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I DO, GO AHEAD.
YEAH, AND THIS IS MORE TO JENNY'S WAY, UM, IN THE CRITERIA.
IS IT THE PANEL WHOEVER DETERMINES REPAIR DEMO IN THAT CRITERIA? IN THIS CASE, DOES ANYBODY TAKE INTO THE ACCOUNT THE REQUIREMENTS IT TAKES TO GET RID OF THE SMOKE FOR ONE, THE, THE ODORS AND EVERYTHING THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH STEP BY STEP TO BRING IT UP TO REPAIR STATUS? IS THAT LOOKED AT OR IS IT JUST LOOKED AT BECAUSE THE STRUCTURE'S 95% INTACT? WHAT I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE DO REVIEW AND THAT WE DO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IS WHAT MAKES IT A DANGEROUS PREMISE.
WHAT YOU'RE MENTIONING ON THE SMOKE, IT WOULD NOT BE LIVABLE, IT WOULD NOT BE OCCUPIABLE UNTIL THAT IS ALL CORRECTED.
BUT THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MAKE IT A DANGEROUS PREMISE.
SO THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT WE, WE WALK A VERY FINE LINE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REVIEW THAT AND THAT WE WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT.
SO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, IT WOULD NOT BE OCCUPIABLE UNTIL ALL OF THAT WAS REMEDIATED AND MITIGATED AND CORRECTED.
BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY WHAT WE SEE AS, AS CAUSING IT TO BE A DANGEROUS, A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE AT THIS TIME.
SIR, FOR THIS INSTANCE, I'M A I'M GONNA STEP OUT AND ASSUME WHOEVER DETERMINED OR WHAT THE DETERMINED FACTORS WERE IS BASED OFF OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE TO STRUCTURE.
SO BASED OFF THE STRUCTURE FACTOR, SO NOTHING ELSE ADDS, BUT TO GET IT TO NON-DANGEROUS STATUS, ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS AREN'T LOOKED AT.
IT'S JUST TO BRING IT TO CODE, IT'S TO MAKE SURE IT IS NO LONGER A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
SO THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TIERS.
IT, IT DOES NOT NEED PLUMBING TO, TO NO LONGER BE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
SO THAT'S KIND OF ALONG THE SAME EXAMPLE I WOULD USE FOR THE SMOKE DAMAGE AND FOR THE WATER DAMAGE THAT DID OCCUR INTO THE STRUCTURE.
THOSE THINGS WOULD ALL HAVE TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CODE TO MAKE IT OCCUPIABLE.
BUT THAT IS NOT ONE IN THE SAME AS FAR AS STILL BEING A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
WE JUST NEED THE REPAIRS MADE TO NO LONGER CONSIDERED A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
MEANING IT'S NOT OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS, IT'S NOT GONNA FURTHER DETERIORATE, IT'S NOT ACCESSIBLE TO VAGRANTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
OR CREATING, UM, AN IMMEDIATE HAZARD TO CHILDREN WHERE THEY CAN SEE IT AS COMPLETELY VACANT AND UNOCCUPIED.
AGAIN, IT'S ANOTHER STANDARD, ANOTHER LEVEL ALTOGETHER TO HAVE SOMEBODY ALLOWED TO LIVE IN THERE.
THAT WOULD BE SSS A P M C CODES AND OUR OTHER BUILDING CODES THAT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE STRICTLY LOOKING AT IT AS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE, SIR, BASED OFF THE STRUCTURE FACTOR OF THE, OF THE DAMAGE OF THE FIRE.
WELL, I WANNA KNOW WHO'S GONNA REPAIR IT.
YOU CAN'T FIND ANYBODY WHO'S GONNA REPAIR IT.
THAT WOULD BE FOR THE BOARD'S DETERMINATION.
OUR, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS DEFINITELY THAT WE DO BELIEVE IT IS REPAIRABLE, UNFOR.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT NOBODY HAS STEPPED FORWARD TO BE ABLE TO CLAIM THAT OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY ON THAT.
BUT THAT LITTLE PIECE NECESSARILY DOES NOT PLAY THE OVERALL ARCHING FORCE BECAUSE WE'RE STILL, WHEN, WHEN THESE CASES COME UP TO THE BOARD, WE ARE SENDING NOTICE TO ANYBODY THAT'S EVER HAD ANY CONTROL OR CONTACT OR OWNERSHIP OR PIECE OF OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY.
AND WE'RE STILL HOPEFUL THAT SOMEBODY WILL COME FORWARD EVEN ON THE DAY OF THE HEARING.
UM, SOMETIMES IT DOES TAKE THAT TO RECEIVE THOSE LETTERS BY CERTIFIED MAIL TO SET FORWARD AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
UNFORTUNATE IN THIS CASE THAT, UH, THAT NOBODY HAS DONE THAT AT THIS TIME.
I'M, I'M LOOKING AT THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE TO ME.
THE OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS, YOU KNOW, PRETTY NICE.
IT COULD BE REPAIRED, BUT THE INSIDE WHERE THE FIRE WAS, THAT DOES NOT LOOK, I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE TO ME.
I I JUST WOULDN'T, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD SAY REPAIR ON, ON THIS BECAUSE IT DOES LOOK LIKE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE BOARD.
THERE'S TWO, TWO THINGS I WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR OF.
THE PROPERTIES BROUGHT TO YOU, UM, NEED TO BE DETERMINED IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE, AND IF YOU DO BELIEVE THEY'RE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE, HOW SHOULD THAT DANGEROUS STRUCTURE BE ADDRESSED? ABATED?
[00:55:01]
SECOND, UH, THE QUESTION IS TO, UH, CODE AND, UH, JUST TO CONFIRM THE AVANCE UM, UM, LEARNING CENTER, I GUESS THAT'S WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET.IS THAT THE SAME AVANCE FAMILY CENTER THAT WAS NEAR ELVIRA? NO.
NO, IT TWO SEPARATE PROPERTIES.
YEAH, THEY'RE TWO SEPARATE ONES.
I WAS, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE, THE, THE LANGUAGE IS CORRECT IN THE ORDER.
THE ONE FOR 1 3 2 6 OH VIRUS STREET IS THE ADVANCED LEARNING CENTER ON SOUTHWEST 19TH STREET.
SO, HAVE YOU GOTTEN ANY CONTACT AT ALL FROM ANY OWNER AT ALL? THE ONE THAT WAS LIST, YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT WERE LISTED, NO ONE'S REACHED OUT TO YOU AT ALL, EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER SHOWED UP? NO, UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY CONTACT.
UM, THIS CASE WAS BROUGHT TO ME ACTUALLY BY, UM, S A P D.
UM, SO WE BROUGHT IT FOR REPAIR.
UM, SO HOPEFULLY MAYBE SOMEBODY WOULD COME FORWARD 'CAUSE DEMOLITION IS ALWAYS THE LAST STEP.
UM, SO WE WERE HOPING SOMEBODY MAY HAVE GOTTEN A NOTICE OR SEEN SOMETHING POSTED AND, AND CAME FORWARD TO TAKE AN ACTION ON THIS PROPERTY.
THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION MOTION.
WE HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE YOU HAVE A MOTION.
ANY IDEA WHEN THE FIRE OCCURRED TO THIS HOUSE? UH, IT'S, IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN THE FIRE DID OCCUR.
UM, WE DID NOT RECEIVE A FIRE REPORT ON THE DATE THAT IT HAPPENED.
UM, I WAS JUST NOTIFIED FROM THE AREA, UM, SAFE OFFICER, UM, REQUESTED TO MEET FOR ME TO GO ASSESS THE STRUCTURE AND CREATE A CASE.
AND I AND IN THE PHOTOS YOU DID SHOW ROOF SHEETING FROM THE INTERIOR VIEW.
DID YOU ACTUALLY LOOK INTO THE, THE ROOF WENT, UM, AS FAR AS GOING UP FARTHER INTO THE ATTIC? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING? NO, I DID NOT PUT GO UP INTO THE ATTIC.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS BEFORE WE PROCEED WITH NO.
BASED ON THE, UH, PRESENTATION FROM THE POLICE, UH, FROM THE CODE OFFICER, UM, AND THERE NO ONE SHOWED UP FOR THE HEARING.
MS. BROWN, CAN YOU PROCEED WITH THE MOTION? HUH? THE MOTION? OH, YEAH, I WILL AFTER THIS, BUT JUST THE MOTION I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, UH, 2 25 ANGELA STREET IS, UM, A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS NOT REPAIRABLE, UH, NOT FEASIBLE FOR REPAIRS AND, UM, ORDER 30 DAY DEMO.
THE SUBSECTIONS, I'M SORRY, THE SUBSECTIONS, UH, I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.
UH, BASED ON THE SUBSECTIONS, UM, FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE, 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
SO WE HAVE A 30 DAY DEMO FOR 1 2 2 5 ANGELA STREET, UH, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.
WE HAVE A SECOND BY MR. ANDIS.
UH, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION? NO, I, I, I AGREE AS WELL THAT IT SEEMED LIKE IT'D BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TRY AND GO IN AND DO A REPAIR TO THIS HOUSE.
IT'S, IT'S THE, THE FIRE DAMAGE IS SO EXTENSIVE AND THE SMOKE DAMAGE IS SO EXTENSIVE AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THE DAMAGE EXTENDS INTO THE ROOF.
I, I WOULD FEAR FOR THE WORST THERE ON THE ROOF AS WELL.
SO I, I SHARE THAT FEELING FOR THIS ONE.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I KIND OF DISAGREE A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT.
UM, MY OWN PERSONAL APARTMENT, UH, CAUGHT FIRE LAST YEAR AND THAT THE DAMAGE WAS WORSE THAN THAT AND THEY HAD IT FIXED WITHIN A WEEK.
BUT THERE IS AN OWNER, THERE WAS A PROPERTY MANAGER THERE TO FIX IT, SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF FIVE TO ZERO.
DO WE HAVE ANY, UM, I THINK ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS,
[01:00:03]
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.HAVE WE HAVE A FINAL DATE FOR THESE, UH, MEETINGS? FOR THE CODES? UH, FOR THE CODE REVIEW FOR THE I P M C UPDATES? YEAH.
AND S A P M C UPDATES? WE HAVE NOT.
THOSE SHOULD BE COMING UP THOUGH.
UM, YOU SHOULD BE HEARING SOMETHING, UH, BY THE END OF MARCH.
AND SO IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS I THINK WE'RE LOOKING TO DO FIVE, FIVE MEETINGS.
UM, THAT'S WHAT WE HAD DONE THE YEARS IN THE YEARS PRIOR.
SO, UM, WE WILL BE REACHING OUT TO THE, UH, TO THE BOARD TO SEE WHO'S AVAILABLE.
I DON'T BELIEVE WE'LL BE GRABBING EVERYBODY OFF THE BOARD, BUT AT LEAST, UM, AT LEAST HALF IS, IS I THINK, OR I THINK IN THE PAST WE'VE USED, WE'VE UTILIZED FOUR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD JUST TO, BECAUSE ULTIMATELY ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL COME BACK TO THE BOARD.
SO WE DO KIND OF HAVE TO LOOK TO MAKE SURE IT IS A BALANCED REVIEW OF, OF EVERYTHING, BUT IT WILL KIND OF MAKE A FULL CIRCLE BACK TO THE B S B BOARD FOR REVIEW.
ALRIGHT, WELL I'M SAID IT BEFORE, I'D LIKE TO BE ON THAT, SO AS YEARS BEFORE, SIR, SO WE CAN WEEDED SOME STUFF THAT, AND FINE TUNE SOME OF THIS STILL.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU SAY WHAT, WHAT WAS THIS ABOUT THE, THE U P C CODE, THE, THE REVIEWS THAT WE NORMALLY DO SINCE THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE 'EM SINCE 2020.
ACTUALLY WE DIDN'T EVEN DO 'EM THEN.
THE BOARDS ARE GETTING READY TO BE SET.
SO I'M PUTTING UP THERE THAT I WANNA BE ON THAT COMMITTEE THAT REPRESENTS THIS BOARD.
SO I, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SEAT ALSO.
YES, MS. BROWN, WE'LL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE TO REACH OUT TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A GOOD REPRESENTATION FROM THE BOARD.
WHAT ALL THESE LITTLE THINGS IN RED HERE UNDER THE PANEL A AND PANEL B IT SAYS TO BE APPOINTED.
HUH? I'LL BE PRESENTING AN UPDATE.
JUST WANTED TO UPDATE THE BOARD THAT CORY TY WAS APPOINTED TO THE B S B ON FEBRUARY 17TH TO REPRESENT COUNCIL DISTRICT FOUR.
ALSO, THE PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL COMMITTEE MET ON FEBRUARY 24TH TO CONSIDER THREE AT LARGE APPLICANTS AND ONE REAPPOINTMENT TO THE B S B.
A MOTION WAS PASSED TO MOVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS FORWARD FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL AND TO ROBERT TAPIA AS AN AT LARGE REAPPOINTMENT TO THE B S B AND WEINER AT LARGE APPOINTMENT AND CHERISE GUPTE ALSO AN AT LARGE APPOINTMENT.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE MOTION TO APPROVE MICHAEL HARPER FOR AN AT LARGE POSITION FAILED WITH THE VOTE OF 1 3 1 AND MR. HARPER WAS NOT APPOINTED TO THE B S B.
APPLICANTS THAT WERE APPROVED FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL ARE TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR THE MARCH 17TH COUNCIL AGENDA.
ADDITIONALLY, MR. NELSON'S REAPPOINTMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR THE MARCH 17TH COUNCIL AGENDA AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL APPLICANT, DAVID GARZA, TO REPRESENT COUNCIL DISTRICT ONE.
AFTER COUNCIL HAS APPROVED THE APPLICANTS, THE B SS B WILL HAVE TWO VACANCIES, ONE IN COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN AND ONE AT LARGE POSITION.
JUDY, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS? ALRIGHT.
AT THIS POINT WE ARE, DO WE HAVE A VOTE TO ADJOURN? SO MOVE.
BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, CAN WE ADJOURN? ALL RIGHT.
