THIS IS THE FIRST TIME 4 3 4 CLUTTER AVENUE IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD.
PLEASE NOTE ON DECEMBER 14TH, 2021, A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED.
THE INSPECTION IS A COLLABORATED INSPECTION WITH A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDE THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS N C B 1 1 9 1 16 BLOCK 12 LOT NINE, LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT THREE.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS STEVEN GUTIERREZ WITH THE MAILING ADDRESS OF 4 3 4 CLUTTER AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 4.
THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS ARE PRESENT, ALBERT JACINTO, JANE HENRY AND OFFICER SOMERVILLE WITH S A P D.
THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON FEBRUARY 28TH, 2021 THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS.
MY FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING FOUR THROUGH FOUR CLUTTER AVENUE WAS CONDUCTED ON DECEMBER 14TH, 2021.
ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON DECEMBER 20TH, 2021 AND A CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 2022.
ON MARCH 17TH, 2022, A PRE-BOARD CONFERENCE HEARING WAS HELD WITH THE OWNER, BUT THE OWNER DID NOT SHOW FOR THE HEARING OR FOR THE MEETING ON MAY 27TH, 2022.
THE NOTICE FOR THE B S B HEARING WAS POSTED AT FOUR THROUGH FOUR CLUTTER AVENUE ON MAY 26TH, 2022.
THE NOTICE OF THE B S B HEARING WAS MAILED TO STEVEN QUIERES BY CERTIFIED RECEIPT ON MAY 10TH, 2022.
ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED TO OBTAIN PHO PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE STRUCTURE TO BE PRESENTED BEFORE THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD.
NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED AS OF JUNE 8TH, 2022.
THE ELECTRICAL METER, I'M SORRY, FOR C P S, IT DOES HAVE AN ACTIVE GAS ACCOUNT.
THE ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AS OF MAY 26TH, 2022 FOR NON-PAYMENT WATER SERVICE WAS TURNED OFF ON NOVEMBER 9TH, 2021 WITH THE METER REMOVED ON JUNE 8TH, 2022 FOR TAMPERING.
THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE CALLS WITH SS A P D FOR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
AGAIN, THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED TODAY WERE TAKEN ON MAY 10TH, 2022.
SO REVIEWING THE PHOTOS IS TO BE THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE POST WHERE THE LANDING IS AT IS ROTTED AT THE BASE WITH AN ELECTRIC CORD RUNNING FROM THE FRONT.
THAT DOES WRAP AROUND ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, AS WELL AS SLIGHT DETERIORATION AND ROTTING TO THE WINDOW FRAME AS WELL TO THE LEFT OF THIS PHOTO, NEXT SLIDE.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE LEFT ELEVATION.
AGAIN, THE BIGGEST CONCERN HERE BESIDES THE CLUTTER THAT IS, UH, POSING AN EGRESS CONCERN IS ALSO THE ELECTRICAL CONCERN.
AT THIS TIME, THE THE POWER WAS ACTIVE.
IT DOES RUN NEXT TO THE WINDOW UNIT AND THIS IS WHERE IT RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT.
THAT IS CONNECTED TO SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
[00:10:01]
THIS IS GONNA BE THAT SMALL ADDITION THAT WAS ADDED TO THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.THERE IS DETERIORATION TO THE ROOF SYSTEM AS WELL AS, UH, EARLY STAGES OF ROTTING AND DETERIORATING TO THE SIDING AS WELL TO THE PLYWOOD.
THE ELECTRICAL, THE ELECTRICAL METER HERE, THE BOX, I'M SORRY, THE BREAKER BOX HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH THE OCCUPANTS THAT ARE AT THE PROPERTY, WHICH THIS WIRE DOES RUN INSIDE HOOKING UP TO AN OUTLET IN THE RESTROOM.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE REAR OVATION.
THE FACIAL BOARDS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, WHICH IS EXPOSING THE OVERHANG AND WITH EARLY STAGES OF ROTTING DETERIORATION TO THE OVERHANG.
THERE'S ALSO THE EGRESS CONCERN WITH THE BURGER BARS THAT ARE COVERING ALL THE WINDOWS, WHICH IS POS POSING A, A DANGER TO ANYONE IN CASE OF A, AN EMERGENCY OR A PANIC.
THIS IS BE THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
AGAIN, THERE'S JUST ROTTING, DETERIORATING TO THE OVERHANG AND WELL THE, THE FACIAL BOARDS FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE FROM THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
AGAIN, THERE'S MORE ROTTING CHAIR INTO THE DOORFRAME AS WELL AS THE EXTERIOR WALL UNDERNEATH THE CARPORT.
THERE'S SOME WATER DAMAGE AS WELL AS DETERIORATION AND ROTTING TO THE DECKING AS WELL AS THE RAFTERS.
AGAIN, THIS IS ANOTHER AREA FROM THE CARPORT, JUST SHOWING THAT THERE'S MORE DI DAMAGE TO THE DECKING AS WELL.
MOVING INSIDE, THERE IS A LOT OF, UH, CLUTTER INSIDE, WHICH IS POSING A AGAIN, ANOTHER EGRESS CONCERN.
THIS IS THE, UH, FROM THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN FROM THE LIVING ROOM, WHICH IS FACING THE HALLWAY GOING INTO THE BEDROOMS. MOVING TO THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN, UM, TAMPERED WITH.
THEY'VE PUT SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL FIXTURE AND THEY'VE SPLICED THE WIRES TO USE IT FOR LIGHTING IN THE, IN THE KITCHEN CLOSE UP TO THE KITCHEN.
AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE OUTLETS FOR THE FIXTURES, UH, FOR THE ELECTRICAL ARE EXPOSED.
MOVING INTO THE ONE OF THE ROOMS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A LARGE AMOUNT OF CLUTTER.
I WASN'T ABLE TO GO ANY FURTHER DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF ITEMS THAT ARE INSIDE.
THIS ELECTRICAL WIRE IS RUNNING FROM THAT, THAT ROOM GOING INTO THE FOLLOWING ROOM TO THE RIGHT, THIS IS JUST SHOWING THAT THE POWER IS ACTIVE.
MOVING INTO THAT ROOM AS WELL, THERE WAS SOME DRUG PARAPHERNALIA FOUND INSIDE THIS ROOM.
A CLOSEUP OF SOME OF THE DRUG PARA PARAPHERNALIA THAT I DID FIND ON THE PROPERTY OR INSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
THIS WIRE IS THE WIRE THAT IS RUNNING OUTSIDE TO THE LEFT ELEVATION THAT WRAPS ONTO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.
AGAIN, THEY HAVE THE EXTENSION CORDS AS WELL AS, UM, SEVERAL ITEMS THAT ARE HOOKED UP NEXT TO THE BED AS WELL.
I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE CONNECTED IN ANY WAY, BUT THEY ARE.
THERE'S SEVERAL WIRES THAT ARE RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE ENTIRE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, A CRACKED PIPE THAT WAS FOUND, FOUND ON THE BED, MOVING INTO ANOTHER ROOM.
AGAIN, JUST THE AMOUNT OF CLUTTER, WHICH IS POSING A, A BIG EGRESS CONCERN.
THE CEILING FAN WAS CURRENTLY DROPPING, EXPOSING ALL THE WIRING IN THIS PHOTO HERE.
THIS, THIS IS THE RESTROOM WITH THAT WIRE THAT IS HOOKED UP TO THE BREAKER BOX OUTSIDE, WHICH IS RUNNING INTO THAT FIX, THAT OUTLET, WHICH IS ALSO EXPOSING ALL THE WIRES.
SAME RESTROOM, JUST SHOWING THAT THE PLUMBING IS CURRENTLY NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED.
AGAIN, JUST SHOWING THAT THERE'S SOME FIXTURE ISSUES WHERE THEY'RE HAVING TO USE A SCREWDRIVER TO TURN ON AND OFF THE WATER IF THEY WERE TO HAVE ACTIVE WATER.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE SELF-MADE, UH, SMALL PORTION OF THE, OF THE, OF THE ADDITION THAT WAS ADDED TO THE REAR OF THE, THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS WOOD, WOODEN, NEW WOOD MEMBERS THAT TO SHOWING THAT THEY HAVE ENCLOSED THIS AREA WITH THE ELEMENTS ALSO GOING INSIDE OF THAT ADDITION.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 4 3 4 CLUTTER AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
[00:15:01]
FOR THE MAIN ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15 IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE HAS, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS.HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE A BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION SUB NESS OR FITNESS TO HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT TO POTENTIAL OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIR TO THE MAIN AND DEMOLITION TO THE ATTACHED ROOM.
ADDITION LOCATED IN THE REAR WITH THE PROPERTY BE VACATED, SECURED, AND UTILITIES DISCONNECTED.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 4 3 4 CLUTTER AVENUE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT OFFICER? YES, MADAM CHAIR.
UM, YOUR FIRST THREE PARTS THAT YOU PUT IN HERE ON 1214, UH, SLAB ISSUES, REBAR, MISSING FLOOR PARTS, BURGLAR BARS ON WINDOWS.
THAT'S A FIRE CODE, CORRECT? YES.
UM, ELECTRICAL ISSUES BY WATER CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX, NO WATER RUNNING PERIOD.
AND THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOU MENTION VACATE WAS UP HERE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE NOTES ABOUT A VACATE.
WE WERE PROCEEDING WITH THE VACATE ORDERS, BUT C P S DID CONNECT THE DISCONNECT.
THE, THE, THE, UH, ELECTRICAL.
AGAIN, THAT WAS DISCONNECTED ON MAY 26TH, 2022.
BUT WE WERE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE NOTICE OF VACATE.
AND THERE WAS NOTHING ON FILE ON THE, THE REPAIR OF THAT ADDITION.
WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR A REPAIR WHEN IT, I'M ASKING FOR REPAIR TO THE MAIN BUT A PARTIAL DEMOLITION TO THE ATTACHED ROOM THAT, THAT WAS ADDED TOWARDS THE REAR ON YOUR NOTES.
WOULDN'T, UH, BECAUSE WE ONLY GOT THIS SO IT'S NOT ON THE THING.
UM, WOULDN'T IT ALSO BE APPLIED? SOME OF THESE OTHER ONES LIKE NUMBER 12 FOR THE DEMO PART? GIMME ONE SECOND BOARD.
'CAUSE YOU'RE ASKING FOR A PARTIAL DEMO.
SO 12 WOULD PROBABLY DO THAT ONE, PROBABLY MORE JUSTICE.
I DO HAVE NUMBER 12 MARKED OFF.
YEAH, THESE OTHERS ARE HIGHLIGHTED.
THE HIGHLIGHTED ONES ARE FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THE, THAT ATTACHED, THAT ATTACHED.
UM, THE ATTACHED ROOM IS ATTACHED IS 11, 12 AND 15, CORRECT? YES.
AS OF TODAY, ARE THE UTILITIES STILL DISCONNECTED AND METERS PULLED? DID VERIFY WITH SAWS AND C P S LAST WEEK.
AS OF THOSE DATES ON, LET ME GET THAT EXACT DATE FOR YOU.
AS OF THE BEGINNING OF THIS, OF THIS MONTH, IN JUNE, THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE UTILITIES FOR THE ELECTRICAL HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED, BUT THE GAS IS STILL ACTIVE.
AND SAWS ALSO HAD JUST WENT OUT JUNE 8TH TO REMOVE THE METER DUE TO TAMPERING.
BUT THEIR SERVICES WERE DISCONNECTED NOVEMBER 9TH, 2021.
SO THE OWNERS THAT ARE LISTED HERE ARE MR. GUTIERREZ.
THE ON, UH, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE O OCCUPYING THE PROPERTY, WHO'S ACTUALLY THERE.
THOSE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT MR. GUTIERREZ HAS INVITED INTO THE STRUCTURE.
HE IS STAYING ON THE PROPERTY.
WE HAVE OFFERED SERVICES FOR RELOCATION AND HE HAS DENIED THE SERVICES.
AT LAST TIME, I DID SPEAK WITH HIM DURING MY WARRANT EXECUTION.
HE DID STATE THAT THE PROPERTY WAS CURRENTLY BEING SOLD, BUT HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THAT IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT.
I'M SORRY, DID YOU SAY THAT THE OWNER DOES NOT LIVE THERE? HE DOES LIVE THERE.
WHO ARE THE OTHER PEOPLE? JUST INDIVIDUALS THAT HE'S
[00:20:01]
INVITED INTO THE PROPERTY, WHICH I CAN ALSO HAVE SS A P D SPEAK ON THAT CONCERN AS WELL DUE TO THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.YOU KNOW, AFTER LOOKING AT THE PICTURES, WHY ARE YOU ASKING FOR REPAIR? HE HASN'T REPAIRED THIS PROPERTY SINCE HE'S BEEN IN IT.
AND YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS CASE PROBABLY SINCE BEFORE 2021.
AND THE WALLS ARE, UH, FALLING APART AT BOARD MEMBERS.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE DO, UM, PROVIDE INPUT.
THIS IS JUST STAFF RECOMMENDATION.
UM, WE DO BELIEVE THE STRUCTURE BE REPAIRABLE AT THIS TO BE REPAIRABLE AT THIS POINT OR AT LEAST PARTS OF IT.
BUT THAT FINAL DETERMINATIONS IS UP TO YOU.
THE, UM, THE WALL IS FALLING APART AT THE SEAM AND THE ELECTRICAL DOESN'T HAVE ANY COVERS ON IT.
AND THERE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF WIRES ARE IN THERE.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT A BIG OLD HOLE OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
IS THAT GONNA BE THE EXTERIOR WALL? HUH? IS THAT THE EXTERIOR WALL? THAT'S THE, IT LOOKS LIKE'S THE KITCHEN.
IT'S THE COUNTER INTERIOR WALL AT THE SEAM RIGHT THERE AT THE CORNER OF THAT STR OF THAT PICTURE.
THERE WAS SOME KIND OF, UM, GUNK THERE.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT THERE WAS A, A SEPARATION IN THE WALL ITSELF, BUT THE BIGGEST CONCERN THAT I HAD WAS THE ELECTRICAL THAT WAS EXPOSED.
SO YOU, YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED WITH THE CRACK IN THE WALL, THE, IN THAT CORNER THERE.
THAT'S JUST SOME KIND OF, I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT, THAT IS OR THE SUBSTANCE IS, BUT IT WASN'T SHOWING A, THE WALL.
A THERE IS A BIG CRACK THE WALL, AND IT COMES DOWN TO THE, TO THE, I DON'T MS. BROWN MAN.
BASEBOARD MR. AS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S EITHER BROWN CAULKING OR SOME TYPE OF ADHESIVE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM BY THE COUNTERTOP, YOU'LL SEE WHERE IT FORMED.
I'M THINKING MORE OF A BROWN CAULK IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME.
UH, IT LOOKS LIKE A CRACK TO ME.
RIGHT HERE YOU SEE IT'S COCAINE.
THERE'S THE HOLE OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.
THOSE ARE THE ELECTRICAL FIXTURES ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE.
UM, AT THE EDGE OF THIS PHOTO, THAT'S JUST, IT.
IT, IT APPEARS THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE SOME KIND OF REPAIRS TO THE SHEET ROCK.
UH, I'M NOT SURE IF THEY USED SOME KIND OF CAULKING TO COVER THAT HOLE UP.
UM, CAN WE GET THE OFFICER TO SPEAK PLEASE? THANK YOU.
UH, WE'RE GONNA GET THE OFFICER TO SPEAK, PLEASE.
WE CAN HEAR THESE PEOPLE UP FRONT.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING QUESTIONS COME FROM THE AUDIENCE OR, UM, PERSONS THAT WANT TO SPEAK.
WE WILL TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S USING THEIR MICROPHONES.
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S HEARING, BUT WHAT WE CANNOT HAVE IS JUST, UM, VOICES COMING FROM EVERYWHERE.
WE ARE TRYING TO RECORD, WE ARE TRYING TO TRANSCRIBE.
SO LET'S PLEASE IF THERE IS ANY CONCERNS WITH VOLUME, UH, LET ME ASK THE BOARD AND ANYBODY THAT'S COMING TO SPEAK, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING YOUR MICROPHONES AND YOU'RE SPEAKING CLEARLY.
I'M OFFICER RICHARD SOMERVILLE.
I'M WITH THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT SOUTH SAFE UNIT.
UH, I'M THE SAFE OFFICER ASSIGNED TO THIS AREA.
I AT LEAST I WAS, I'M NOW ASSIGNED TO A DIFFERENT AREA, BUT I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT.
AND I'VE WORKED WITH THE RESIDENTS AS WELL AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, UH, FOR 4 3 4 CLUTTER AVENUE.
UM, THE TIME THAT I'VE WORKED IT, UM, I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM THE RESIDENTS FOR FOOT TRAFFIC, SUSPICIOUS VEHICLES, SUSPICIOUS PERSONS NARCOTIC USE.
UH, IN THE PAST TWO YEARS WE'VE HAD, WE'VE RECEIVED 85 CALLS
[00:25:01]
FOR SERVICE THAT INCLUDED, UM, ASSAULT, FAMILY VIOLENCE, CALLS, DISTURBANCES, SUSPICIOUS PERSONS, VEHICLES, SHOTS FIRED, UH, BURGLARIES AND PROGRESS, UH, NARCOTICS AND WANTED PERSONS CALLS, WANTED PERSON'S CALLS, UH, CALLS THAT WE RECEIVED, THAT WE ARRIVED AND THE PEOPLE THERE HAD FELONY WARRANTS, MISDEMEANOR WARRANTS.UM, I'M ALSO FAMILIAR WITH STEVE GUTES.
I'VE CONTACTED HIM SEVERAL TIMES AT, UM, I RECEIVED CALLS AND, UH, WENT TO THE LOCATION.
STEVE'S ALWAYS HAVE DIFFERENT, HE ALWAYS HAS DIFFERENT, UM, OCCUPANTS IN THE HOUSE.
THEY'RE PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW FROM THE AREA THAT ARE KNOWN DRUG USERS.
UH, STEVE'S RESPONSES WHEN WE ASK HIM WHY THEY'RE THERE IS THAT HE JUST LETS THEM STAY BECAUSE HE DOESN'T, HE FEELS BAD FOR THEM.
UM, I WAS ALSO THERE WHEN WE INITIATED THE DARK WARRANT.
UM, WHEN WE, WHEN WE DID THE DARK WARRANT, WE LOCATED A CHILD IN THE BACK ROOM OF THE HOUSE WHO WAS, I BELIEVE UNDER FIVE YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, ASLEEP BY HIMSELF.
THE MOM WAS WANDERING THE STREETS.
UM, WHILE WE WERE THERE CONDUCTING THE WARRANT, MOM LATER CAME TO THE SCENE, UM, AND SHE SAID THAT SHE WENT TO GO VISIT SOMEBODY AND JUST LEFT HER CHILD THERE WITH NOBODY SHE KNEW AT THE HOUSE.
SHE ENDED UP HAVING A FELONY WARRANT.
UH, WE ARRESTED HER THAT DAY ON THE DART WARRANT.
WE ARRESTED SEVERAL PEOPLE AND WE HAD CONTACTED C P S BECAUSE THE CHILD WAS LEFT IN A DANGEROUS AREA.
UM, THE CHILD WAS, UM, RELEASED TO GRANDMA THAT DAY.
UM, BUT A LOT OF THE CALLS, THE 85 CALLS THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE CALLS THAT I RECEIVED AS A SAFE OFFICER FROM THE RESIDENTS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
THEY WOULD CALL ME ON MY CITY CELL PHONE, EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW ABOUT, UM, THE HEAVY FOOT TRAFFIC AND THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE SEEING.
SO, IN MY OPINION, THIS HOUSE IS, UH, IS A DANGER TO THE RESIDENCE.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? YES.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND BE SAFE OUT THERE.
CAN WE GET, UH, ALBERTO JACINTO PLEASE? HOW YOU DOING? HOW YOU DOING? UH, I LIVE AT THE CORNER OF 1 2 6 ADELPHIA AND CONGRESS AND WHAT I SEE COMING FROM 4 34 CLUTTER, A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC, BICYCLE TRAFFIC.
AND IT'S A BIG, IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR YEARS.
I'VE LIVED THERE FOR 30 YEARS.
SO AS, UH, AND THAT ALL THAT TRAFFIC EITHER ON FOOT OR ON BICYCLE, THEY STOP AT, AT MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.
SO NOW THEY HANG UP AROUND OVER HERE AND THEY START CUTTING THROUGH THE YARD, THROUGH MY FRONT YARD.
I LIVE RIGHT AT THE CORNER, BUT IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR 10 PLUS YEARS.
AND THERE'S BEEN SHOOTINGS, LIKE, LIKE THE OFFICER SAID, WE WITNESSED THIS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE KNOW ABOUT IT.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY'VE RECEIVED CALLS FROM ME AND OTHER NEIGHBORS, YET NOTHING'S BEEN DONE IN THE PAST 10 PLUS YEARS.
AND THAT'S THE BIG PROBLEM THERE, COMING FROM 4 34 NOW TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.
AND THEY GOT THE SAME SETUP UP THERE.
THEY GOT TARPS, AND THEY DO THEIR BUSINESS THERE.
SO AS SOON AS YOU, YOU, YOU, UH, YOU, YOU SEE PEOPLE TURNING ON THEIR BICYCLES OR WALKING, THEY GO EITHER STRAIGHT TO, TO MY NEIGHBORS OR THEY GO STRAIGHT TO CLUTTER OR THEY COME FROM CLUTTER AND THEY GO TO MY NEIGHBORS.
AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS.
AND IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE THESE, A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE, LIKE HE SAID, HE NOTICED THEY DON'T BELONG THERE.
THEY'RE NOT FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU SEE, BUT WHENEVER IT HAPPENS, UH, THEY JUST PLAY A, A CAT AND MOUSE GAME.
HUH? THEY GOT ONE OFFICER RIGHT NOW.
IT MIGHT BE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE RIGHT HERE.
HE STOPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF, OF THEIR HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET.
HE STAYS THERE MAYBE AN HOUR OR HALF AN HOUR THE MOST HE LEAVES AND THEN THEY COME BACK AGAIN.
AND, UH, MY NEIGHBOR KEEPS AN EYE ON EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON.
THAT'S WHERE THEY STOP LIVES RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO ME.
SO SHE'S THE WATCHGUARD, THE, UH, GUARD DOG WATCHING THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THIS DRUG TRAFFICKING GOING ON.
AND TO ME, THAT'S ORGANIZED CRIME BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
AND I'VE SEEN IT SO MANY YEARS, YEARS ALREADY, AND I'VE HAD ENOUGH.
AND, UH, YOU BARELY SEE PEOPLE, UH, UH, WALKING THEIR DOGS BECAUSE THEY SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, I SEE 'EM PASSING THEIR VEHICLES.
THEY LOOK AT THAT HOUSE, HUH? IT'S, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO MY HOUSE.
BUT THAT COMES FROM 4 34 CLUTTER.
[00:30:01]
'CAUSE I'VE SEEN THAT GUY STEVE OVER HERE WITH THIS LADY, AND SHE'S ALWAYS OUT AT THE WINDOW LOOKING OUT, SEE WHO'S COMING, SEE WHO'S GOING.AND THAT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM THERE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A BIG PROBLEM.
AND THEN YOU STILL GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING FROM THE HOTEL, THAT MOTEL, THEY COME FROM THERE AND THEY COME AROUND THE CORNER OR THEY COME THROUGH ROOSEVELT AND IT'S A HISTORIC DISTRICT AND WE'RE RESTRICTED TO, LET'S SAY YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR GRASS HIGH.
BUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS HAVE EXISTED ALL THIS TIME AND NOTHING'S BEEN DONE ABOUT IT.
CAN WE PLEASE GET MS. JANE HENRY NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? FOR MY ADDRESS? YEAH.
NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? YES.
AND THAT'S IN THE RAVEN HILL NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'M, UM, I'M A BOARD MEMBER OF THE MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
AND I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE 2018, AND I OWN MY HOUSE THERE.
UM, I, AND WHEN I FIRST MOVED IN, I WOULD GO FOR WALKS ALL OVER THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
I COULD GET A MILE AND A HALF, YOU KNOW, IN THE MORNINGS.
AND, UM, AT ONE POINT I WOULD GO DOWN CLUTTER AND, UH, THERE WAS ONE HOUSE, UM, WHERE, UH, A DOG WOULD, A DOG CAME OUT ABOUT SO BIG AND, UM, STARTED, UH, ATTACKING ME, VERY AGGRESSIVE.
UH, AND THERE WAS SOMEONE UNDER THE CARPORT.
AND I SAID, HEY, GET YOUR DOG.
AND, UM, THEY SAID, IT'S NOT MY DOG.
AND THEY SOMEHOW CAME AND GOT IT.
AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TOLD THE OWNER THAT, THAT HE NEEDS TO KEEP HIM ON A LEISURE OR IN THE BACKYARD, BUT HE WON'T LISTEN.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE MEANT, MEANT THE OWNER OF THE DOG OR THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE, BUT I NOTICED THE GATE WAS ALWAYS OPEN IN THAT VERY FIRST PICTURE WE SAW TODAY.
THE GATE TO THE BACKYARD IS OPEN.
AND, UM, SO THE NEXT TIME I WENT BY, UH, THE DOG CAME AND, UM, ATTACKED ME AGAIN.
AND THIS TIME, APPARENTLY THE OWNER OF THE DOG OR THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE WAS THERE.
AND I WAS TELLING HIM, GET YOUR DOG.
AND I WAS WONDERING, WHAT CAR CAN I JUMP ON TOP OF TO SAVE MYSELF? AND THE OWNER SAID, OH, HE'S NOT GONNA HURT YOU.
HE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY OR I WAS BEING, YOU KNOW, UH, A PAIN.
UM, SO THE DOG WAS SO CLOSE TO ME, AND FINALLY HE CAME AND GOT HIM.
UM, AND I JUST, THAT'S THE ONLY, UH, THING THAT I CAN REALLY TESTIFY TO.
WELL, IT'S NOT THE ONLY THING, BUT, UM, I, I CAN'T REMEMBER IF I CALLED ANIMAL CARE SERVICES OR THE POLICE, BUT I JUST NEVER WALKED DOWN THAT STREET AGAIN.
AND, BUT AT THE CORNER OF, UH, ADELPHIA AND CONGRESS CLOSE TO WHERE ALBERT LIVES, UM, THERE'S ALSO A COUPLE OF PROBLEM HOUSES AND, UM, AND THEN ALBERT'S HOUSE, AND THERE'S AN ALLEY BETWEEN CONGRESS AND CLUTTER.
AND YOU CAN, IT IS TRUE, YOU ALWAYS SEE PEOPLE COMING DOWN FROM ADELPHIA, PROBABLY FROM THE CAMINO REAL HOTEL ON BONNER AND, UM, UH, MOTEL.
AND THEN THEY COME DOWN, UH, ADELPHIA AND THEY CUT THROUGH THE ALLEY GOING DOWN TO A HOUSE ON THAT STREET.
I NEVER KNEW THAT THAT WAS THE SAME.
I WAS NEVER SURE THAT WAS THE SAME HOUSE WITH THE DOG THAT ATTACKED ME.
I FOUND OUT SINCE GETTING THIS THING, I HAD NO IDEA, UM, THAT THERE WERE ALL THESE, UH, OTHER VIOLATIONS.
I COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT I DID KNOW THAT THERE ARE VERY SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE, UM, GOING BACK AND FORTH DOWN THE LA TOWARDS SOME HOUSE ON CLUTTER.
AND THOSE ARE THE ONLY THINGS I HAVE TO SAY.
BOARD MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER OR THE MEMBERS THAT HAVE SPOKEN? UH, THIS IS JESSE.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CODE OFFICER.
WHAT, UH, IS THE HOT WATER HEATER AND THE HEATING AND AC BEING POWERED BY THE GAS LINE THAT'S RUNNING? I DIDN'T SEE ANY SIGNS OF OF IT BEING POWERED.
IT WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME OF MY INSPECTION WHEN I EXECUTED THE WARRANT.
[00:35:01]
I'M SORRY.UM, I'M GONNA RUN THIS BY AND SEE IF IT CAN FLY THIS WAY.
UH, I MOVED AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4 3 4 CLUTTER AVENUE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE.
WELL, IT'S NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF, FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
SO, UH, ARTICLE SIX, I MEAN, I'M SORRY, CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6, SUBSECTION 1, 2 5, 7, 8.
UM, I DON'T BELIEVE IT TO BE FEASIBLY ABLE TO BE REPAIRED, BUT WE CANNOT ORDER A DEMO BECAUSE IT IS LISTED AS REPAIR.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO MOTION THAT TO BE SENT BACK TO CODE FOR A REEVALUATION, BUT AT THE SAME TIME UPHOLD THE VACATE AND, AND SECURE THE PROPERTY ON THE, UH, ADDITION.
I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DANGER AS WELL.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT DEMOED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
ITS, UM, SUBSECTIONS OR 11, 12 AND 15.
AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THAT ONE IS A THREAT OR POSES A THREAT TO POTEN, UH, TO LIFE HEALTH OR SAFETY OR PROPERTY, THAT I BELIEVE THAT ONE SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
BOARD MEMBERS DANGEROUS PREMISES.
JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THE, THE ATTACHED ROOM IS CONNECTED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE, RIGHT? THAT WILL BE THE PARTIAL DEMO THAT YOU'VE ASKED FOR IN THE YES.
SO, AND THE DEFINITIONS DO GO FOR THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
THEY'RE NOT SEPARATED FOR EACH ONE.
I'D LIKE TO CALL FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, PLEASE.
THE TIME IS NOW 9 49 ON JUNE 9TH, 2022.
THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD WILL ASSESS FROM THE OPEN MEETING AND CONVENE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND DISCUSS ATTORNEY CLIENT MATTERS PURSUANT TO SECTION 1 5 5 1 0.071, THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
SO GO FOR DISCUSSION AND VOTE IT DOWN.
OH, HOW DO I DO THIS ONE? THE TIME IS NOW 9 57 ON JUNE 9TH, 2022.
THE BUILDING STANDARDS WILL NOW RECONVENE AN OPEN SESSION.
NO OFFICIAL ACTION WAS TAKEN IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
ALL RIGHT, LET ME GO BACK, UM, THAT I'M GONNA RESEND THE PREVIOUS MOTION AND OPEN DISCUSSION AND THEN WE'LL MAKE A NEW MOTION.
I, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT MOTION OR THERE WAS A SECOND ON IT, SO WE DO NOT HAVE TO DISCUSS IT.
UM, SO YEAH, IF THERE WAS NO SECOND ON IT, THE MOTION WAS GONNA FAIL ANYWAY, BUT YES.
SO MR. ANDES HAS RESCINDED HIS MOTION.
THIS IS MS. BROWN, I'LL MAKE A NEW MOTION.
UH, I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS PROPERTY CAN BE REHABBED OR REPAIRED DUE TO DRUG PAL,
[00:40:01]
DUE TO DRUG PARAPHERNALIA FOUND IN THE PROPERTY DUE TO PROSTITUTION AND A A FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD LEFT BY HIM OR HERSELF.I DON'T THINK ANYBODY CAN, CAN SAY THAT THAT IS, AND BECAUSE OF THE OFFICER'S TESTIMONY, THE, UH, I I, I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS PROPERTY CAN, CAN BE REPAIRED.
IF IT WAS GONNA BE REPAIRED, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED YEARS AGO.
SO I MO I MOTION THAT, UH, THIS PROPERTY SHOULD BE DEMOED IN 30 DAYS UNDER HOLD ON, UH, FOR 4 24 CLUTTER, UH, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT OFFICER? NONE.
CAN WE GET, UH, MR. JAMES DELAROSA PLEASE TO SPEAK? PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
HI, LAROSA ONE 50 PENNY STONE.
THE, UH, THE ROOF HAS BEEN REDONE AND THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN LEVELED AND REPLACED.
I MEAN THE, THE BOARDS ALL AROUND HAVE BEEN REDONE AND, UH, AND
SO I HAD IT DONE, BUT THEY'RE REALLY COMPLETE.
THE, THE BEAM THAT THEY SHOWED UNDERNEATH THAT, THAT'S BEEN REPLACED, THAT'S THE ONE THAT SHE'S HAVING TO STEP OVER.
'CAUSE OF THE FLOOR, THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR, THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR WAS CAUSED BECAUSE A TREE HAD FALLEN OVER.
THAT'S WHAT DAMAGED THAT LITTLE SHED IN THE BACK.
IN ONE OF THOSE PHOTOS, YOU CAN SEE PART OF THE TRUNK STILL ON IT, BUT THAT'S KIND OF HANGING OVER THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD.
BUT THAT TREE, WHEN IT FELL, IT POKED A HOLE IN THE, IN THE ROOF CAUSING WATER DAMAGE TO COME IN TO ROT THAT FLOOR RIGHT BY THE DOOR.
BUT, UH, IT'S BEEN BOARDED UP.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING INSIDE.
I I HAD THE ROOF DONE, THE FOUNDATION BECAUSE THERE WAS THE, THE TWO MAJOR REPAIRS I SHOWED PROOF OF, UH, TO WHERE I COULD COVER THE, THE COST FOR THE, THE REMAINING REPAIRS.
THE, UM, THE, THE SHEET ROCK WHERE IT'S COMING DOWN, THAT'S NOT SO MUCH WATER DAMAGE.
THE BEDROOMS WERE STARTING TO BE GUTTED.
BUT I'D GO OVER THERE AND SOMEBODY BREAK IN AND THEY STOLE A LOT OF TOOLS SO WE COULD HELD OFF ON THAT AND THE, THE SHED WAS ACTUALLY GONNA GET TAKEN OFF WHEN, WHEN THE GUY COME BACK TO CLEAN UP ALL THE STUFF FROM THE, FROM THE LEVEL IN THE HOUSE AND THE ROOF, HE WAS GONNA HAUL THAT OFF TOO.
BUT THERE WAS SOME SIGNS ON THE DOOR THAT ALL WORK HAD TO BE STOPPED.
SO THAT'S WHY THAT HAD BEEN DONE.
BUT, UH, I, I KIND OF DISAGREE WITH THE DEMO.
I HAVE A ENGINEER'S REPORT THERE STATING THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS SALVAGEABLE TOO.
SO THERE'S RECEIPTS THERE FOR, FOR THE WORK DONE ON THE ROOF OF THE, AND THE LEVELING.
I'VE HAD SOME OFFERS FOR THE HOUSE AS IS, BUT SINCE THERE'S A, I WAS TOLD THERE'S LIKE A LOCK ON IT OR SOMETHING, SO I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SELL IT, BUT IF NOT, THEN I'M GONNA, WELL, GIVEN YOU'RE OKAY, I'M GONNA KEEP REPAIRING IT.
[00:55:04]
I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS.DID YOU HIRE A COMPANY OR A CONTRACTOR TO DO THE ROOF OR THE LEVELING? TWO SEPARATE CONTRACTORS.
ONE TO DO THE ROOF, ONE TO DO THE LEVELING.
SO WHY DIDN'T THEY PULL THE PERMITS? I, I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN THEY, UM, I GUESS THEY'RE USED TO DOING IT WITHOUT PERMITS.
I MEAN, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD TO HAVE ONE TO DO A ROOF.
NO, SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN TOLD YOU GOTTA HAVE ONE TO PUT IN A CEILING FAN OR A FRONT DOOR THERE.
THERE'S NO LEGITIMATE CONTRACTOR THAT'S NOT GONNA PULL PERMIT IT.
WELL, I MEAN, I CAN SEE ON THE PICTURES, UH, ON THAT WAS A GOOD JOB.
YEAH, NO, I'M LOOKING AT, AT UH, AND FOR THE FOUNDATION, I MEAN, THREE POSTS WERE TWO, TWO TO THREE POSTS WERE REDONE.
I MEAN, THEY ADDED, AND LIKE I SAID, THE BEAM WORK WAS, WAS REPAIRED.
I, I'M LOOKING AT PICTURE SIX.
THE, THE PLUMBING, YOU KNOW, THE SEPARATION OF THE PLUMBING.
WELL THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE HOUSE,
WHAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE DO IS ALLOW THE BOARD MEMBERS TO FINISH THEIR THOUGHT AND QUESTION.
I'M SORRY BECAUSE THIS IS BEING TRANSCRIBED.
BEFORE SOMEBODY DOES RESPOND, LET'S LET EVERYBODY FINISH WHAT THEY NEED TO SAY SO EVERYTHING CAN GET ON RECORD.
I CAN SEE THE DECKING HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST ON THE EDGE.
THAT'S NEW, NEW DRIP EDGE, NEW SHINGLES, NEW ROOF JACKS.
UH, THE FACIAL BOARDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, UH, BUT NOT ON THE SIDE SIDE BUILDING.
UM, SO I COULD SEE THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING, BUT AGAIN, THERE WAS NO PERMIT.
SO HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT THE ROOF ISN'T GONNA KEEP IN THE ENTIRE HOUSE? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THE SUPPORT BEAMS UNDERNEATH THAT ROOF ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO HOLD IT UP? ONE OF THE TRUSSES WAS REPAIRED.
I MEAN THE, THE, THE ONE THAT THEY THOUGHT WAS BAD.
AND I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT THEY DO.
I DON'T, I DON'T THINK HE WOULD'VE DID IT WHERE IT'S GONNA CAVE IN.
AND, AND ON YOUR QUESTION, YOU WERE SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THE, THE SIDING OR WELL, YEAH, THE SIDING'S MESSED, MESSED UP.
BUT WHAT PART OR THE SHOW? I'M LOOKING AT PICTURE SIX.
CAN YOU PULL UP PICTURE SIX PLEASE? YEAH.
SEE, 'CAUSE IN ALL HONESTY, THAT WAS, THAT WAS THE NEXT PHASE.
WE WERE GONNA REDO THE HOLE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, GET RID OF THE SHINGLES AND 'CAUSE IT SHINGLES IN HALF WOOD.
SO YOU SEE THAT THE, THE PARTIAL ROOF RIGHT HERE ON THE ENDS, THAT WAS NOT DONE.
THE PARTIAL ROOF WASN'T DONE BECAUSE WE WERE GONNA LEVEL THE HOUSE AND THEN TEAR THAT APART BECAUSE THAT, THAT HAS A HOT WATER HEATER IN IT.
BUT THAT ACTUALLY HIDES THE BACK DOOR.
AND I LITERALLY HAD TO BOARD UP THAT BACK DOOR FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE GETTING IN, TAKING TOOLS.
BUT SINCE THE FOUNDATION WAS DONE THEN THAT WAS COMING DOWN.
THAT'S WHY THAT LITTLE SECTION HADN'T BEEN RE-ROOFED.
THAT'S COULDN'T DONE AWAY WITH, PUT A HOT WATER HEATER IN THE ATTIC.
SIR, DID YOU BRING ANY INFORMATION IN THAT WE COULD SEE WHERE YOU, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, A PLAN? NO, MA'AM.
IN, UH, NOT SO MUCH IN MY DEFENSE, BUT, UM, MY SON PASSED ON APRIL 6TH AND DEALING WITH THAT, IT'S, IT'S REALLY TAKEN UP A LOT OF TIME.
IT'S NOT TO GO INTO BIG DETAIL, BUT WE'RE INVESTIGATING HIS DEATH.
I'M, I'M SORRY FOR YOUR, YOUR SELF THANK YOU.
BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE HOUSE? IT'S REALLY TAKEN A LOT OF MY TIME IN THE, FOR THAT AND IT'S TAKEN AWAY TIME FROM THE HOUSE.
THAT'S WHY I HAD THE ROOF OF THE FOUNDATION DONE TO SHOW THAT, YOU KNOW, I DO WANNA SAVE THE HOUSE, BUT MOST OF MY TIME.
BUT YOU DIDN'T, BUT YOUR, YOUR CONTRACTOR OR WHOEVER DID IT, DIDN'T PULL A PERMIT? YES MA'AM.
SO YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ON THERE CORRECTLY OR NOT? OH, I'M, I'M SURE IT'S ON THERE CORRECTLY.
WELL, THE ENGINEER SEEMS THAT THAT'S, THAT'S YOUR WORDING SIR.
WE NEED TO HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, LIKE A CONTRACTOR, LIKE AN INSPECTOR COME THROUGH.
WELL, BECAUSE THE INSPECTORS ARE SITTING OVER HERE MM-HMM.
SO IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE, YOU DIDN'T PULL A PERMIT, YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T HAVE A LICENSED CONTRACTOR WHO DIDN'T PULL A PERMIT AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE A, AN, UH, AN INSPECTOR COME OUT AND, AND INSPECT IT.
MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS FRED ANDES.
UH, SIR, CAN YOU STEP BACK A MINUTE? I NEED A CODE OFFICER UP HERE.
CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE NINE? YOU ARE THE ONE THAT TOOK PICTURES, CORRECT? YES SIR.
ARE YOU ON LEVEL GROUND WHEN YOU TOOK THIS PICTURE?
[01:00:01]
YES SIR.NOW IS IT THE WAY THE CAMERA IS DONE OR IS IT MY EYES THAT TELL ME THE BOTTOM IS BOWED OUT.
I BELIEVE THE POSTS ARE LEANING.
THE, THE BOTTOM IS BOWING OUT.
NOW IS IT MY EYES OR THERE IS NO STRAPPING TO THE CONCRETE SUPPORTS? NO SIR.
CAN YOU COME BACK UP AND YOU SAID YOU BELIEVE THE CONTRACTORS KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING? YES SIR.
AND I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, THERE'S NO WAY THAT CORNER IS GONNA STAY WHERE IT'S AT.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ONE TO THE I'M TALKING ABOUT PILLAR THAT THE PICTURE, THE, YEAH, THE POST.
THE SECOND ONE HAS A SHIM IN IT, WHICH IS NOT LEGAL.
THAT'S WHY THEY DIDN'T PULL PERMITS.
SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT, I MEAN, SO THE, THE BEAM, THE MAIN BEAM SHOULD BE STRAPPED TO THE CONCRETE PIER AND THE, AND THE PIER SHOULD BE ALL CONCRETE.
YOU CAN'T USE ANY KINDA SHIMS. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHIM.
AND THAT AGAIN, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY.
YOU SAID YOU HAD DOCUMENTATION FROM AN ENGINEER? YES, SIR.
I DIDN'T GET TO LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTATION IN FULL, BUT I DIDN'T SEE A PART IN THERE WHERE HE GAVE YOU A BLESSING OR NOT.
DID YOU BRING IN FINANCIAL STATEMENT ABOUT BEING ABLE TO COVER THE COST, RIGHT? YES SIR.
YOU BROUGHT IN AN ENGINEER'S REPORT? YES, SIR.
BUT THERE WAS A THIRD DOCUMENT THAT'S NOT HERE.
AND THAT WOULD BE A ITEM BY ITEM COST.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE THAT? NO, SIR.
I HAVE, I MEAN, I CAN GET THAT, BUT I'VE BEEN TIED UP WITH, WITH, WITH, WITH YOUR INTENT TO REPAIR THE HOUSE, YOU WANNA SHOW REPAIR? YES SIR.
WHAT TIMELINE ARE YOU LOOKING AT? THAT WOULD BE MORE OF A CONTRACTOR'S TELLING ME WHAT, HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE THEM.
I MEAN, I, I CAN GIVE YOU ONE, BUT WELL, YOU'RE HERE TODAY.
YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO EITHER SHOW FAITH THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO, BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO CONTRACTOR TO SPEAK.
SO WHAT TIMELINE WOULD YOU BE LOOKING AT TO COMPLETE OR BRING TO CODE? LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY.
AND THAT IS WITH DEBRIS CLEANED UP AND EVERYTHING ELSE? YES, SIR.
AND THE, THE SHED, YOU SAID THE, THE, THE GUY WHO WAS CLEANING WOULD TEAR THE SHED DOWN TOO? YEAH.
THE DEBRIS THAT'S LAYING RIGHT THERE IN THAT PICTURE.
HE WAS GONNA GET THAT AND THE SHED.
WHICH IS IN THAT CORNER RIGHT THERE BY HERE.
SO ALL OF THAT WOULD BE DONE WITHIN FOUR MONTHS? YES SIR.
OR SOONER OR LATER?
IF YOU'RE SAYING FOUR MONTHS, YOUR CONTRACTOR MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IT IN LESS SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW MM-HMM.
BUT YOU'RE GIVING US A TIMELINE OF FOUR MONTHS TO HAVE IT RE BROUGHT TO CODE AND THE MESS CLEANED UP.
I I JUST WANNA CLARIFY, THAT INCLUDES ALL THIS STUFF ON THE INSIDE THAT'S ATTRACTING PES AND YES MA'AM.
BUT I'M, I MEAN, GIVEN THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH PERMITS AND STUFF, I MEAN, 'CAUSE THEY'RE TELLING ME I NEED A PERMIT TO DO THE SHEET ROCKING.
SO THEN I'M LOOKING AT A PERMIT FOR THE INSULATION PERMIT FOR THE SHEET ROCKING.
AND IT IS THAT, IS THAT JUST SHEET ROCKED OR ARE WE TALKING TAPED AND FLOW DETECTOR PAINTING? I, THIS IS LEGAL.
I'M IT, THIS, IT'S IMPROPER, SIR, FOR YOU TO BE ASKING QUESTIONS AND POSING QUESTIONS TO THIS BOARD.
THOSE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE POSED, UH, TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OFFICIALS AND, AND, AND THE CODE OFFICER THAT'S HANDLING YOUR CASE.
I'M SORRY, BUT YES, YOU WILL NEED PERMITS.
UM, SO I, I NOTICED IF THE CODE OFFICERS CORRECT, SOME OF THE UTILITIES AND THINGS HAVE BEEN OFF SINCE 2018.
SO, I, I DON'T MEAN TO ASK A BROAD QUESTION, BUT WHAT HAS BEEN THE REASON FROM 2018? I, I SUPPOSE REPAIRS HAVEN'T BEEN COMPLETED TO NOW FROM, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT HUGE GAP, THE HOUSE HAS BEEN VACANT SINCE THEN, BUT I MEAN, WE WOULD GO PERIODICALLY AND CUT THE GRASS AND STUFF OR TRIM TREES, BUT THE INSIDE DIDN'T USED TO LOOK LIKE THAT.
ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE CODE OF COMPLIANCE OFFICERS HAD HAD TOLD ME THAT AT ONE POINT THAT THEY HAD FOUND SOMETHING, THEY GOT A CALL THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN THEY GOT THERE, SOMEBODY WAS LIVING INSIDE THE HOUSE.
'CAUSE THAT DEBRIS EVERYWHERE WASN'T LIKE THAT.
SINCE, SINCE RIGHT BEFORE Y'ALL BOARDED UP THE, THE, THE PROPERTY, IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEBODY HAD TRIED PULLING THE CABINETS OFF THE WALL AND THERE WAS PLATES AND STUFF IN THERE.
[01:05:01]
IS A MESS, BUT IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.I GUESS, UH, TO ASK IT A DIFFERENT WAY, I WANNA UNDERSTAND HOW, YOU KNOW, FOUR AND A HALF YEARS HAVE PASSED AND NOTHING'S BEEN DONE.
UM, AND JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW, DO YOU HAVE A CONTRACTOR, LIKE A PERSON THAT YOU TRUST THAT WOULD DO THE WORK? YES SIR.
ESTHER, CAN YOU BRING UP THAT PAPERWORK AGAIN? I HAVE A MOTION.
CAN YOU SCROLL DOWN SOME MORE? OKAY.
AND CAN YOU GO TO THE PROOF OF MEANS? ALL RIGHT.
MR. DE LA ROSA, IS THIS THE CHECK THAT YOU PULLED OUT OR? YES MA'AM.
THE PAY FOR THE, THE WORK, THE HOUSE LEVEL AND THEN THE ROOF.
CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? DID YOU SAY THAT THAT THAT'S WHAT THE LEVEL, THERE SHOULD BE FOUR CHECK STUBS THERE AND THOSE WERE FOR THE REPAIRS, THE, I THINK THERE WAS TWO OF 'EM FOR 2,800 SOMETHING AND THERE'S, THERE SHOULD BE TWO ALIKE.
AND THEN THE, THE OTHER ONES WERE, I THINK TWO FOR 3000 EACH FOR THE LEVELING.
MS, MS, MS CHAIR AND, AND, AND THE REST OF THE BOARD, UH, LEGAL LOOKED AT THE DOCUMENTS THAT HE HAD.
UH, WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS JUST MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS A DOCUMENT THAT PROVIDED THE MOST UPTODATE, I GUESS, BALANCE.
UM, I WASN'T LOOKING TO PROVIDE A TON OF INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO HOW MUCH MONEY HE'S PULLING OUT OF HIS ACCOUNT.
AND THAT'S SUFFICIENT FOR NOW.
SO THIS IS THE MONEY YOU'RE GONNA USE? YES SIR.
TO DO ALL REPAIRS TO BRING UP TO CODE AND THEN FINISH OUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO? YES SIR.
UH, I SHOWED A CHECKING AND A SAVINGS.
HAS THERE BEEN ANY, UH, POLICE REPORTS OR ACTIVITY AT THE PROPERTY? NO, MA'AM.
MS. CHAIR, REAL QUICK, THIS IS LEGAL AGAIN.
UH, COULD WE MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE, UH, MR. DE ROSA'S ADDRESS? I BELIEVE AND I, I MIGHT BE MISTAKEN, BUT I BELIEVE HE HAD STATED, UH, THE ONE 50 PENNY STONE AVENUE.
UH, BUT WHAT WE NEED IS HIS MAILING ADDRESS, PLEASE.
YEAH, THAT WOULD HELP A LOT BECAUSE I, I DON'T GET A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT Y'ALL SEND TO ME.
'CAUSE ELAINE HAS PASSED IN 13.
SHE'S NO LONGER, YOU KNOW, AND, AND I GUESS Y'ALL ARE GOING BY THAT ADDRESS SEND TO THERE.
BUT UNLESS I GO BY TO CUT THE GRASS OR SOMETHING, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
CAN YOU STATE YOUR ACTUAL ADDRESS FOR THE, IT'S NINE 12 WEST MYRTLE.
DO WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR EITHER MR. DELAROSA OR THE CODE OFFICER? NOPE.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION WE DO, I AGAIN, MS. BROWN? YES.
UM, THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, UM, ONE 50 PENNY STONE.
I, I, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN, SIR, BUT I, IT'S HARD FOR
[01:10:01]
ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GONNA FIX THIS HOUSE WITH $42,000.AND WITH YOU HAVING NO CONTRACT, NO, UM, NO.
I'M, I'M JUST, I, I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN'T GO WITH THAT.
SO, UM, FOR TWO, I'M SORRY, FOR 1, 1 50 PENNY STONE.
I FIND THE PROPERTY TO BE, UM, A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY, UH, SECTION, UH, WAS IT SECTION SIX? UH, ARTICLE SEVEN, I'M SORRY, EIGHT SECTION FOR THE MAIN.
1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY, 2, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND I FIND THAT THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
WE HAVE A MOTION FOR ONE 50 PENNY STONE AVENUE FOR THE MAIN, A 30 DAY DEMOLITION FOR ONE 50 PENNY STONE AVENUE, UM, FOR THE MAIN 1, 5, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY 2, 7, 17, AND 18.
