AND YOU COULD START SEEING THE DAMAGE EXTERIOR FENCING AS WELL.

YOU COULD SEE THE WINDOW AND A PICKET IS USED TO KIND OF BRACE THE, THE WINDOW UNIT JUST A CLOSE UP.
WE DID PROVIDE, UH, THE OWNER WITH SOME, UM, C P S SERVICES, COMMUNITY REFERRAL, UM, TO OFFER HIM ASSISTANCE.
AND THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY OCCUPIED.
UH, THIS PICTURE JUST SHOWS A METER.
UH, THIS, UH, AGAIN, DOESN'T HAVE ANY WATER SERVICE AND IT'S JUST, UH, IT'S HARD TO SEE, BUT THERE IS NO CONNECTION.
WE DID VERIFY WITH SAWS AS WELL THAT, THAT THERE WAS NO WATER SERVICE AT THIS PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE BACKSIDE, AND AGAIN, YOU COULD SEE THE DAMAGE, UH, EXTERIOR FENCE.
WE DO HAVE SEPARATE CASES FOR THE OUTDOOR PLACEMENT AS WELL.
UM, HE DID, UH, STATE THAT HE IS IN A FINANCIAL BIND TO TRY TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.

[00:15:04]
AND THIS IS ANOTHER REINSPECTION PHOTO SHOWING THE OVERALL THROUGH THE BACKSIDE OF THE ALLEY.THIS IS A REINSPECTION PHOTO WHERE HE'S MADE SOME ATTEMPTS TO BRACE THE WALL OR THE FENCING.
AND AGAIN, JUST REINSPECTION SHOWING THAT THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN VIOLATION SINCE INITIAL INSPECTION ON JANUARY 17TH.
STAFF RECOMMENDS FOR THE EXTERIOR FENCE, EXTERIOR WALLS, ROOF, AND WINDOWS TO BE REPAIRED AND ALSO FOR THE WATER TO BE RESTORED.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 5 0 6 GLAM.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTION.
AND WE'RE, UH, WE'RE ONLY GOING WITH A LOT OF N B 9 6 1 LOT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT OR THERE OTHER LOT? NO, IT'S JUST THIS ONE PROPERTY.
IS THERE ANY OTHER VIOLATIONS? THE GLAZING AND THE GENERAL HUH? THE GLAZING AROUND THE WINDOWS AND THE GENERAL? CORRECT.
SO THAT'LL BE, AND NO, UH, NO SIR.
THE VIOLATIONS ARE FOR THE EXTERIOR FENCE.
UH, EXTERIOR WALLS, UH, UH, ROOF AND DRAINAGE GLAZING, THE WINDOWS AND, UM, THE WATER SYSTEM WITH NO WATER, SINCE THE PROPERTY DOESN'T HAVE ANY ACTIVE WATER.
THOSE ARE THE VIOLATIONS BEING PRESENTED TODAY.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY WATER, CORRECT? NOT ABOUT ELECTRICITY.
ARE THEY GETTING WATER FROM ANOTHER SOURCE? NO.
LIKE A WATER? NOT, NOT, NOT THAT WE KNOW OF.
MR. ANDS? YEAH, THIS IS, UH, FRED ANDS, TWO THINGS.
AND YOU'RE NOT ASKING FOR A, UH, A TEMPORARY, WHAT'S THE WORD? REMOVAL? UM, OH, TEMPORARY VACANCY.
UH, WE HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE OWNER.
HE SAID IT'S JUST HARD FOR HIM TO TRY TO PULL PERMITS, MAKE REPAIRS BY SUPPLIES.
SO, UM, I DIDN'T PUT THAT IN MY RECOMMENDATION.
WELL, THE, I'M ASKING THAT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE WATER.
THAT, THAT COULD ALWAYS BE AMENDED IF THAT'S WHAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE.
UM, AND, AND NORMALLY YOU, IT BROUGHT INTO US AS A REQUEST BECAUSE THERE IS NO WATER OR ELECTRICITY.
I'M JUST ASKING WHY IT WASN'T, AGAIN, BECAUSE WE HAD BEEN MAKING CONTACT.
UM, IT IS OCCUPIED AND, YOU KNOW, WE JUST TRY TO BUILD THAT COMMUNICATION AND TRY TO HELP HIM AND PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR HIM INSTEAD OF JUST, YOU KNOW, TELLING HIM HE HAS TO LEAVE HIS HOME.
SO WE HAVE NO PICTURES OF THE INTERIOR? NO, SIR.
WE DIDN'T GET ANY INTERIOR PHOTOS.
'CAUSE HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE LIVING? I MEAN, THAT'S A PROBLEM.
YEAH, WE, WE DIDN'T HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE PROBABLE CAUSE TO MAKE THE INTERIOR INSPECTION.
UM, AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, TAKING ALL THE VIOLATIONS THAT WE SAW THROUGH THE EXTERIOR AND BRINGING THEM TO THE BOARD.
MS. ANN, SORRY, WHAT WE HAVE, SO IS IT OCCUPIED BY THE OWNER? YES, MA'AM.
YEAH, I WAS GONNA ASK, YOU SAID THAT YOU, UH, SEEN SOME
THERE HAS BEEN SOME, UH, FOOT TRACK TRAFFIC OF, YOU KNOW, SEVERAL PEOPLE IN AND OUT.
UM, WE DID REACH OUT TO SS A P D.
UH, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY, UH, CALLS FOR HISTORY FOR THEM.
UM, SO I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
MAY LEGAL CAN ANSWER THIS ONE.
YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE A PROBABLE CAUSE TO ENTER
[00:20:01]
TO ENTER CORRECT? IF THEY DON'T HAVE WATER.AND THE CONDITION OF THE EXTERIOR IS YES, SIR.
THAT NOT PROBABLE CAUSE TO ENTER FOR THE LIFE SAFETY BOARD? I, YES, IT, IT IS PROBABLE CAUSE.
BUT I, I WOULD URGE US TO AGAIN, FOCUS ON THE VIOLATIONS THAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS BROUGHT TO YOU.
UM, THOSE ARE THE VIOLATIONS THAT THEY BELIEVE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.
UM, I I, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE DON'T PUSH IT FURTHER AND SAY, OH, BECAUSE I SEE THIS OUT FRONT THAN I NEED TO SEE INSIDE.
AGAIN, THERE'S NO VIOLATION IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD, UH, THAT IS, UH, IN RELATION TO THE INTERIOR OF THE PROPERTY.
SO I, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE, UM, WHY I UNDERSTAND, UH, THE, THE, THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE, I, I WOULD, AGAIN, ASK US TO FOCUS ON THE VIOLATIONS, UM, THAT THE OWNER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF, AND THE ONES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD ONLY.
IS THERE ANY HISTORY TO THIS PROPERTY? THERE IS 35 CALLS FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT DATING BACK FROM 2009, AND IT IS LOCATED WITHIN THOUSAND FEET OF HIGHLAND HILLS ELEMENTARY.
SO THE OWNER SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO MAKE REPAIRS.
SO WE'RE THE RECOMMENDATION IS ASKING HIM TO MAKE REPAIRS? YES.
SO IF HE DOESN'T HAVE THE MEANS, THEN WE'RE JUST GONNA COME BACK SEVERAL MONTHS LATER BECAUSE THE REPAIRS HAVEN'T BEEN MADE, COME BACK, UM, OR PROVIDE HIM MORE RESOURCES.
UM, I KNOW SAS DOES OFFER RESOURCES FOR PAYMENT PLANS.
UM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CODE ENFORCEMENT WOULD PROBABLY REACH OUT TO TRY TO HELP 'EM.
BUT ULTIMATELY, YOU KNOW, IT IS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TRY TO BRING THEIR PROPERTY UP.
UH, 'CAUSE OTHERWISE IT'S GONNA BECOME A CIRCULAR CASE.
SO THE OWNER'S GONNA HAVE TO STEP UP AND ACCEPT OR, OR, OR LOOK FOR THOSE SERVICES THAT YOU, UH, PROVIDE AND GUIDE.
AND SINCE IT DOES HAVE A CODE HISTORY, IT BEING OCCUPIED, UM, I ADVISE THE OFFICER TO BRING IT AS A SS A P M C BEFORE WE WOULD EVEN LOOK FOR IT FURTHER IF IT BEING ATTEMPTED DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE TAKING IT AS A PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE VIOLATION.
AND SO THIS IS ALMOST LIKE A LAST CHANCE FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT IF NOTHING GETS DONE, THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK TO US WITH A DIFFERENT RECOMMENDATION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? OKAY.
UH, I'M NOT SURE IF THIS SAYS GARZA OR, OR WHAT, UH, SANTOS.
MR. ORTIZ, YOU WANNA STEP UP PLEASE? TO THE PODIUM? YES.
UM, YOU HAVE BACK TO THE QUESTION.
COULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND MY NAME IS SANTOS ORTIZ.
CAN YOU PRESENT YOUR CASE, PLEASE? WELL, THE THING IS THAT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I'M SEPARATED FROM MY WIFE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS AT THE BEGINNING.
SO I'M RIGHT NOW, STUDENT INCOME, YOU HAVE TO SPEAK UP OF $1,200 UP TO A HUNDRED DOLLARS.
SO OUT OF THAT, I HAVE TO PAY MY HOUSE BILL, MY ELECTRICITY, MY WATER, AND WHATEVER STAYS FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR FOOD.
UM, I CAN START WORKING ON GETTING THE WINDOWS DONE, YOU KNOW, NEW WINDOWS AND THE ROOFING.
I HAD, UM, TWO BACK SURGERIES.
I KNOW IT'S OFF THE RECORD, BUT I HAD TWO BACK SURGERIES.
I JUST BEAT CANCER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR PROSTATE.
SO IT'S BEEN KIND OF, KIND OF GOING DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT, THAT CAN REPAIR MY HOUSE.
YOU KNOW, I ASK MY BUDDIES, YOU KNOW, AND YEAH, WE'LL BE THERE AND SO FORTH, AND NOBODY SHOWS UP.
SO THE PROCESS IS GOING, BUT IT'S SLOW.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD ASK IF I CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO, TO WORK ON THE, ON THE HOUSE.
UM, MR. MR. ORTIZ? YES, MA'AM.
UM, I, I DON'T THINK YOUR HOUSE JUST GOT LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW? NO, IT TOOK A LONG OVER THE YEARS.
AND NOW IT'S EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE TO
[00:25:01]
REPAIR.I SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING THEN.
I SHOULD HAVE WORKED ON IT THEN YEARS BACK.
WELL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, COULDA, SHOULDA WOULD'VE, YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT, RIGHT? YES, MA'AM.
SO I, UH, AND YOU HAD 35 CALLS TO CODE COMPLIANCE FOR THIS HOUSE.
THAT'S, THAT'S NOT A, A GOOD REFLECTION ON ANYTHING.
SO I JUST WANNA KNOW YOU ASKING FOR MORE TIME, BUT YOU'VE HAD, YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF TIME ALREADY TO FIX PROBLEM.
WELL, I DIDN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BUY THE, I KNOW RESOURCES ARE TIGHT EVERYWHERE, YOU KNOW, AND IT JUST MAKES YOU REALLY MAD WHEN YOU GO TO H E B.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT YOU FROM LIVING IN THIS KIND OF ENVIRONMENT.
AND, UM, SO I, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW, HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT YOU NEEDING 30 DAYS ANOTHER MONTH? OH, IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE THAN A MONTH.
BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING IF THERE'S A WAY THAT THEY CAN WORK WITH ME, YOU KNOW, SEE THE PROCESS OF WHAT I'M GONNA START DOING.
YES, PLEASE, IF YOU DON'T MIND, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR MR. MR. ORTIZ.
MR. ORTIZ, I'M RIGHT HERE, SIR.
MR. ORTIZ HAS AT ANY POINT IN TIME DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OR ANY OTHER CITY DEPARTMENT, UH, CONNECTED YOU WITH NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT? THEY HAD LEFT A BROCHURE CALLING AND I DID NOT CALL, I CALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY RESOURCES AT THAT TIME.
AND FOR THE WATER, I THINK IT WAS A CHURCH.
CAN YOU, CAN YOU TELL THIS BOARD THE LAST TIME YOU SPOKE TO SOMEBODY AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT? WHAT, SIR? SORRY.
CAN YOU TELL THE BOARD THE LAST TIME YOU SPOKE TO SOMEBODY AT N H S D? OH, IT WAS, UM, LAST MONTH.
AND LASTLY, AT ANY POINT IN TIME DID YOU TALK TO N H SS D ABOUT, UM, ANY ASSISTANCE IN REPAIRS TO THE HOUSE? UH, IT WAS, UH, OFFICER PO SAID, SHE GAVE ME SOME PAPERWORK SO I CAN CALL AND SEE IF I CAN GET SOME, SOME HELP.
AND, AND HAVE YOU FOLLOWED UP WITH THAT? UM, NO, SIR.
I, MAY I ASK YOU THIS, DID YOUR CODE OFFICER, UH, SUGGEST THAT YOU COULD MOVE INTO OR GIVE YOU SOME RECOMMENDATIONS TO MOVE INTO A DIFFERENT APARTMENT MAYBE? NO, MA'AM.
UH, LET, OKAY, LET ME HAVE THE CODE OFFICER BACK UP HERE, BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT'S, OH, SHE'S OKAY.
I KNOW, I KNOW THAT YOU ALL SUGGEST SOMETIMES, UM, UH, SOME KIND OF HOUSING OR FACILITY THAT EMPLOYEE, I MEAN, THAT THE, I KNOW THE OFFICER DID, UM, EXPLAIN THE B S B PROCESS, UM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NO WATER.
YOU KNOW, THERE IS THAT, UM, ORDER TO VACATE.
UM, BUT I KNOW MS. ORTIS, UH, DID NOT WANNA LEAVE HIS HOME.
UM, AGAIN, WE OFFERED THE RESOURCES FOR D H SS AND N H S D, UH, BUT HE DID NOT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT IN TRYING TO GET THOSE SERVICES AND GET THE APPLICATION AND PROCESS STARTED.
SO WE DID ADVISE HIM IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY.
AGAIN, UH, WE'VE HAD THIS CASE SINCE JANUARY, UH, AND I KNOW OFFICER PONTE HAD MENTIONED, UH, TO HIM ABOUT, YOU KNOW, OTHER RESOURCES AS FAR AS RELOCATION.
MR. ORTIZ, YOU CAN COME BACK UP, PLEASE.
NOW, MR. ORTIZ, THEY DID SUGGEST AND RECOMMEND, UH, SOME DIFFERENT SERVICES FOR YOU, BUT YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW UP AND YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW THROUGH.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU HERE AS BEST WE CAN.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I JUST DON'T, UH, I, I'M SORRY.
I GUESS I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE THEM UP ON IT OR FOLLOW UP THROUGH THE, UM, THE SERVICES? WELL, I DID CALL THEN TO THE DIFFERENT SERVICES, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, AND THEY NEVER CALLED BACK.
I SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH, BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD CALL BACK.
THEY WOULD SAY THEY WOULD GET BACK WITH ME AND I JUST LET IT GO.
WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, I'M BEING HONEST WITH YOU, YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY, I'M BEING HONEST.
BUT YOU KNOW, YOU, BUT ANYWAY, IF, IF YOU CAN GIMME SOME TIME, YOU'LL SEE A DIFFERENCE OF I GOT SOME MONEY COMING IN.
WHAT TIME? SOME TIME TO, TO, TO, UH, TO IMPROVE THE HOUSE? MM.
ARE YOU THE ONLY ONE LIVING IN THE HOUSE, SIR? YES, SIR.
UM, WHAT ABOUT RESOURCES? I MEAN, CAN YOU, ARE YOU GONNA BE ABLE TO GET HELP TO GET RESOURCES FOR YES, SIR.
[00:30:01]
HAVE TO BUDGET THE MONEY, YOU KNOW.UM, WELL I HAD ONE THAT CAME IN AND HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME A THOUSAND DOLLARS A WINDOW.
AND I WAS LIKE, REALLY? RIGHT.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PRIORITIZE.
UH, HE'LL TAKE, WE HAVE, UH, OR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, IT HAS PRESENTED YOU THE SERVICES THAT YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND TRY TO GET SOME ASSISTANCE.
OKAY? UH, YOU, YOU HAVEN'T, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, GONE MAKE THAT EFFORT, YOU KNOW? THAT'S MY THOUGHTS.
UH, AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WATER IN THAT FACILITY? NO, NOT WATER.
UH, I USED TO GO TO MY DAD'S AND BATH THERE AND THEN COME BACK HOME AND, UH, IS THAT A RV AND NEXT TO YOUR HOUSE? THAT'S IN MY PROPERTY.
THAT'S YOURS? NO, IT'S NOT MINE.
AND, UH, YOU HAVE SOME VISITORS, YOU KNOW, MY FRIENDS THAT COME OVER? YES.
UH, AND YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WATER, YOU SEE, BECAUSE THIS SPORT MIGHT, UH, MAKE A DECISION THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT NOBODY IN SAN ANTONIO, YOU KNOW, NOT ENJOYING THE QUALITY OF LIFE.
AND YOU'RE NOT, BECAUSE RIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WATER, ET CETERA, YOU KNOW, THE FOOD OR, YOU KNOW, I DON'T GET INTO THAT, BUT I MEAN, WE MIGHT JUST HAVE TO VACATE THE UNIT AND BOARD IT UP, YOU KNOW? AND THEN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO WILL HELP YOU GET A ROOM SOMEWHERE.
THE, LIKE, THEY WON'T LEAVE YOU OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL HELP YOU OUT TO GO.
BUT I MEAN, THEY, THAT, THAT IS, YOU KNOW, THE MOST, YOU KNOW, DANGEROUS.
THE THING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULDN'T, IT WOULDN'T BE A PLEASURE TO DO, BUT WE MIGHT HAVE TO.
WE, YOU'RE HERE IN DOWNTOWN RIGHT NOW.
YOU CAN WALK FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT JUST LIKE ALL OF US DO WHEN WE GO FOR INFORMATION, RIGHT? SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THE SAD PART ABOUT IT.
SO MR. ORTIZ, MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION? HOW ARE YOU, HOW ARE YOU? IF YOU DON'T HAVE WATER, HOW ARE YOU, YOU KNOW, DOING PERSONAL ITEMS, YOU KNOW, FOR YOURSELF? I USED TO GO TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE AND BATHE.
AND, AND, AND HE LIVES CLOSE TO YOU? YEAH, HE LIVES CLOSE BY.
WELL, UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, THIS IS FRED ANDES.
CAN YOU PUT UP SLIDE 45? THAT'S WHAT IS SHOWN ON MINE.
BECAUSE YOU'LL SEE WHEN THIS SLIDE COMES UP, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THEM PHOTOGRAPH THE INFORMATION.
'CAUSE THEY NORMALLY GIVE OUT A PAMPHLET.
BUT THEY'RE GIVING YOU ALL THE INFORMATION HERE.
AND IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT SHEET WITH THE ORANGE HIGHLIGHT, IF YOU CAN SEE THAT SYMBOL AT THE TOP, THE THIRD SYMBOL OVER IS A CITY WATERBOARD.
DID YOU CONTACT THE CITY WATERBOARD TO TRY TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET A METER FOR, IN MY BILL IS OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS.
THEY SAID THEY NEEDED HALF OF THE, OF THE AMOUNT IN ORDER TO START THE SERVICE AGAIN.
SO I'M, I'M AT, AT THAT POINT I WAS BUDGETING, UM, MY HOUSE PAYMENT.
SO ON THE, ON THE NEXT ONE WHERE IT SAYS AGENCY REFERRALS, RIGHT? ANY ONE OF THOSE, DID YOU START AT THE TOPPING CALL? NO, SIR.
DID YOU GO TO A LOCAL CHURCH? YES, I DID.
AND THEY CAN'T HELP YOU? THEY COULDN'T HELP.
I CALLED MANY CHURCHES, YOU KNOW, ON THE PAMPHLET AND AT THE BEGINNING AND NOTHING.
AND THE REASON WE ARE HERE IS BECAUSE THIS IS HIS LAST RESORT, RIGHT? YOU HAD OPPORTUNITY TO SET UP WITH THE CITY SOME TYPE OF ARRANGEMENTS.
NOW I UNDERSTAND YOUR FATHER'S CLOSE TO WHERE YOU CAN GET TO, RIGHT? BUT IT'S THAT HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU FOR SOME NO, BECAUSE YEAH.
HA NOT HAVING NO WATER AND NO ELECTRICITY AND NO GAS OR SERVICES TO YOUR HOUSE IS AN ISSUE,
[00:35:01]
NOT JUST ON THE CITY'S BEHALF.AND WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THAT AND TO COME IN HERE AT THE LAST MINUTE AND ASK FOR TIME.
YOU HAVE NO PERMITS PULLED, CORRECT? NO, SIR.
SO YOU'VE INSTALLED WINDOWS, DID SOME SIDING AND SOME OTHER WORK WITHOUT PERMITS.
I MEAN THAT, WHO PUT THAT, THAT WHO PUT THE WINDOW IN THOSE WINDOWS? WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE, THAT LEFT WINDOW WAS PUT IN? YEAH, THOSE TWO WINDOWS WHO PUT 'EM IN? I PUT 'EM IN WITHOUT A PERMIT.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU NEEDED A PERMIT FOR THAT, SIR.
AGAIN, AGAIN, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE, ALL OF THIS.
AND NOW WE'RE HERE AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR TIME, BUT YOU'RE SAYING YOU CAN DO THIS ALL IN 30 DAYS AND IT HASN'T BEEN DONE UP TO THIS POINT.
RIGHT? WELL, SO YOU PUT US IN A BIND WHEN WE ARE HERE TO MAKE A DECISION ON SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE OVER TIME.
UM, YOU SAY YOU HAVE THE FINANCES.
THE QUESTION IS, IS DO YOU HAVE THE FINANCES TO CORRECT ALL OF THE ISSUES AT ONCE OR ARE YOU GOING TO CORRECT A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME? I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA CORRECT THE, THE AUTO EXTERIOR, THE WINDOWS NOW, THE ROOFING, THE ROOFING IS STILL GOOD.
I PATCHED IT UP FOR THE FACT THAT WHEN IT RAINED, IT PULLED OUT SOME, SOME, UM, SHINGLES.
THAT'S WHY IT LOOKS LIKE THAT.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT, WHAT WHAT THEY MEANT.
GUTTER WORKS, THE ROOF'S NOT IF YOU GOT, I HAVE TO HAVE GUTTERS TOO.
IF YOU, IF IT'S CITED IN HERE AS AN ISSUE, IT'S NOT GOOD.
WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY LEAKS OR ANYTHING.
I MEAN, BUT WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS THAT, UM, UM, THE CITY REQUIRES TO HAVE GUTTERS OR WHAT THE CITY REQUIRES GUTTERS.
BUT THE BUT THE ROOF IS, IS ON THE LIST FOR ISSUES.
SO, BUT, BUT THE, THE ROOF ISNT GOOD.
SO THE, IF IT'S NOT, IF IT'S ON THIS LIST, THE REASON WHY IT'S NOT GOOD IS BECAUSE I JUST PATCHED IT UP FOR THE FACT THAT WHEN THE WIND CAME IN, IT BLEW OUT SHINGLES.
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S WHEN DID YOU, WHEN DID YOU DO THE PATCH? THIS, IT'S NOT TOO LONG AGO.
WE, WHEN WE HAD THAT BAD, UM, THAT WIND CAME IN THE STORM.
HOLD ON JUST A SECOND BECAUSE LAST LINE, THE LAST LINE IN THESE NOTES ARE NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE.
WELL, I, OH, THE ONLY REPAIR WAS YOU'RE JUST CHANGING THE SHINGLE.
I I MEAN, I I DIDN'T TEAR UP ANYTHING.
PULL THE MICROPHONE CLOSE TO YOU, PLEASE.
IF IF IT'S ON THE LIST AND IT HASN'T BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED, OKAY, THEN IT'S STILL ON THAT LIST.
SO IN REALITY, YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.
I JUST WENT UP THERE AND JUST PATCHED UP.
LIKE I SAID, I JUST PATCHED UP THE SHINGO SO IT WOULDN'T LEAK INSIDE THE HOUSE.
BUT IT OVERALL YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY THAT I DID THE WHOLE ROOF? NO, I HAVE NOT.
I JUST REPAIRED WHATEVER WAS WAS DAMAGED WITHOUT A PERMIT.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT TO PUT A ROOF ON.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PERMIT TO PRETTY MUCH TOUCH YOUR HOME.
EVEN A GENERAL PERMIT TO DO ISSUES AND ALL OF THIS HERE IS NOW WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
DID HE EVER RECOVER THE MONEY THAT THEY STOLE FROM YOU? WHAT MONEY IN MARCH AND MAR OH, MY SOCIAL SECURITY? YES.
WELL, LET ME, UH, THINK WE'RE READY TO MOTION HERE.
LET ME, UH, PUT MY NECK IN A HOOP HERE.
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY THIS, BUT YOU KNOW, I'M COMPASSIONATE ENOUGH.
YOU CAN TAKE THE BUS, THE 90 MM-HMM.
ALL YOU DO IS ALL YOU GOTTA HAVE MR. CHAIR.
I'M SORRY, MR. CHAIR, THIS IS LEGAL.
I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND I, I REALLY, UH, WOULD HOPE THAT WE CAN GET OURSELVES FOCUSED BACK ON, UH, THE SS A P M C VIOLATIONS, UM, THAT ARE BEING ALLEGED.
[00:40:01]
I WOULD, I WOULD URGE US TO STAY FOCUSED ON WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THE BOARD TODAY.WELL, LIKE I SAY, I KNEW I WAS GONNA GET, BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO BE NICE.
UH, UH, MR. ORTIZ, I, YOU KNOW, I, I HAVE EMPATHY FOR YOU, BUT YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE AT THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO LIVE IN, IN THIS KIND OF ENVIRONMENT.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BOARD IS MY LIFE COMING DOWN.

AND WE, THERE WAS NO PERMITS PULLED SINCE THEN.
AND WHEN I, WHEN I, WHEN I STARTED THE CASE, THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO PERMIT FOR THE FOUNDATION.
'CAUSE YOU COULD CLEARLY TELL THAT THERE WAS FOUNDATION WORK ON THE PROPERTY.
'CAUSE THE, THE CEMENT POSTS WERE, UM, WERE THERE AND THEY WERE, LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE PUT RECENTLY.
AND WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS THE DISTANCE? HOW FAR DID IT MOVE? I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION, SIR.
UM, THE OWNER'S BROTHER IS HERE AND HE WAS EXPLAINING IT TO ME.
AND, UM, I'M PRETTY SURE HE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN IT WAS MOVED, BECAUSE IN THAT MOVE, OBVIOUSLY THE STRUCTURE IS COMPROMISED.
DID THEY GET A POLICE ESCORT? WE DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, NO, SIR.
I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION AT THE TIME.

BUT, UM, I COULDN'T, I WASN'T ABLE TO REALLY LOOK AT 'EM THAT WAY.

I HAVE A, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CODE OFFICER.
UM, IN YOUR PRESENTATION YOU KEPT REFERENCING OWNER.
UM, CAN YOU STATE FOR THE BOARD FOR CLARIFICATION, IS THE CURRENT OWNER DECEASED OR IS THE CURRENT OWNER HERE? UH, THE CURRENT OWNER IS P FLORES AND HE IS DECEASED.
SO THE PER, WHEN YOU REFERENCED, AND YOU WERE SAYING OWNER, YOU WERE, IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT YOU WERE SPEAKING OF THE OWNER'S BROTHER WHO DOES NOT CURRENTLY OWN THE PROPERTY? MR. FLORES? YES.
OH, PETE, PETE FLORES WAS THE ONE THAT OWNED THE PROPERTY, BUT WHO IS FRED FLORES? IS THAT THE BROTHER? UH, FRED FLORES IS THE, UH, BROTHER TO THE P FLORES.
WHO IS GONZALEZ? UH, I PROBABLY THE NAME OF THE FINANCIAL HOLDING COMPANY.
I HAVE NOT MET THAT PERSON SINCE I STARTED THE CASE.
MR. FLORES, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS FRED FLORES, THE BROTHER OF PETE FLORES, THE OWNER OF THAT HOUSE, PREVIOUS OWNER OF THAT HOUSE.
YOUR ADDRESS WHERE YOU LIVE, THE ADDRESS IS 54 22.
YOUR ADDRESS, SIR? MY ADDRESS IS 69 0 5 WT MONTGOMERY ROAD, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 5 2.
YOU, MR. MISS, UH, YOU WANT PRESENT YOUR CASE? JUST A MOMENT.
MR. ZIA, UH, CAN I ASK A QUESTION HERE? OH, UH, WHO, WHO WAS, UH, GONZALEZ HOLDING COMPANY? THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MOVED THE HOUSE.
WE MOVED THE HOUSE AND HE'S GOT A LEASE IN 2002, WHERE MY BROTHER, WE HAD TO SELL THE PROPERTY WHERE WE LIVED, WHICH IS DOWN THE STREET.
[01:00:01]
OKAY.YEAH, THAT'S WHEN THEY MOVED IT IN 2002.
THOSE, THOSE FINANCES, THEY, THEY, THEY PUT THE POSTS THERE AND MOVED THE HOUSE TO THE BACK OF NEAR HIGHWAY 90.
AND THEN THEY HAVE PICTURES OF ALL THAT.
THEY, THEY ARE THE ONES THAT PUT THOSE CITY POSTS THERE.
I MEAN, THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUSE POSTS.
YOU WANNA PRESENT YOUR A LEASE, YOU WANNA PRESENT YOUR COURSE.
IS THERE STILL A LEASE? WELL, A LIEN.
I'M GONNA TRY AND PUT A LIEN ON IT.
HE HASN'T PRESENTED HIS CASE YET, SO LET'S WAIT UNTIL HE PRESENTS HIS CASE AND THEN WE CAN FOLLOW UP.
YOU WANNA PRESENT YOUR CASE, SIR? OKAY.
I WANTED TO START BY SAYING THAT, UM, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS TURNING TO ME BY THE, BY MY BROTHER'S INSURANCE POLICY.
I THOUGHT IT WAS GIVEN TO MY SISTER IRENE, AND MY SISTER ISABEL.
HE WAS, SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF PETE BECAUSE HE WAS KIND OF MENTALLY ILL.
AND SO WHEN IT, IT, WHEN MY BROTHER PASSED AWAY, THEY FOUND HIM BACK OF THE GAS STATION.
SO ANYWAY, AT THAT POINT I THOUGHT THAT MY SISTER WAS GONNA TURN, UH, CHANGE THE TITLE TO HER NAME ON THAT PROPERTY.
SO SHE, I LET, I LET HER DO WHAT SHE HAD TO DO.
IT TURNED OUT THAT SHE COULDN'T DO THAT.
SO MY SISTER IRENE GOT INTO THE PROBLEM.
WE, WE, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE INSURANCE POLICY WAS LEFT TO HER AND ME.
AND SO WE EACH GOT A $4,000 CHECK.
AND THEN SHE KEPT ON FIGHTING FOR THE PROPERTY.
AND THEN IT TURNED OUT THAT IT STAYED UNDER MY NAME UNDER THESE, THESE PAPERWORK THAT THE INSURANCE POLICY WAS LEFT TO ME.
AND THEN, SO BASICALLY I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GO.
I LET MY SISTERS HANDLE WHAT SHE, THEY WERE GONNA DO.
AND NOW IT CAME ALL UP TO ME SAYING THAT I HAVE TO FIX THE PROPERTY AND I HAD TO FIX THE HOUSE.
AND SO I EVEN GOT BEAT UP ON THE HOUSE BY MY OTHER NEPHEW.
HE AND THE COPS WERE THERE WHEN I WENT AND BOARDED OUT.
SIR, SIR, LET'S STICK TO THE, SIR, LET'S STICK TO THE ISSUES AND HERE, OKAY? AND THE ISSUES.
I, I CLEANED MOST OF THOSE PICTURES.
THEY'RE, I, I CLEANED ALL THAT STUFF OUT.
I, I GOT A RECEIPT HERE FROM THE LANDFILL THAT I DID, CLEANED IT, AND I TOOK IT.
I ALREADY TOOK THREE TRAILERS OUTTA THAT PROPERTY.
AND I'M, I JUST CLEANED THE WHOLE FENCE ON THE EDGE, ON THE EDGE OF THE, OF THE, UH, ALL THE BUSHES AND ALL THAT STRUCTURE THAT YOU SEEN RIGHT THERE.
I CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE A LITTLE BIT, AND THE, THE BASICALLY AROUND THE HOUSE, THE, THE, THE FOUR BY FOURS ARE KIND OF ROTTEN, BUT THEY'RE STILL LAYING ON TOP OF THE CEDAR OF THE CONCRETE POST.
AND SO THE, BASICALLY, I WAS GONNA TRY AND, AND, AND FIX THE OUTER PART OF THE HOUSE FIRST.
BUT THEN THIS CAME INTO BE, I, I'M PAYING THE TAXES ON IT.
I GOTTA PAPERWORK HERE THAT I PAID THE TAXES ON THE, I THINK IT'S THE DATE HERE, UM, ON THE 24 FOURTH.
24 23, I PAID $400 ON THE PROPERTY TAXES OF PETE FLORES, MY BROTHER.
AND THEN I PAID $400 ON MY BROTHER'S.
MY BROTHER'S, SIR, MR. FLORES, WE DON'T, WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW THAT.
WE JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO WITH THE HOUSE.
AND I WANNA PUT THE, MY BROTHER, THE LEC, THE ELECTRICITY, ELECTRICITY, WATER AND ALL THAT.
THAT HOUSE NEVER HAD A WATER, A CITY WATER METER, NEVER HAD A DRAINAGE OR NEVER HAD ELECTRICITY RUNNING TO THE HOUSE BECAUSE MY BROTHER WAS SICK.
AND I KEPT TELLING HIM TO EITHER FIX IT OR NOT, AND HE WOULDN'T DO.
SO HE STOPPED DRIVING BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANNA GIVE RIDES TO NOBODY IN INSURANCE IN HIS AND ALL THIS.
SO BASICALLY HE NEVER PUT WATER OR AN ELECTRICITY IN THAT HOUSE.
AND THEN, SO MY, MY NEPHEW BURNED IT DOWN.
THAT'S WHY IT'S BURNED DOWN LIKE THAT.
AND SO I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN FIX IT OR GIVE ME A CHANCE TO TEAR IT DOWN AT LEAST 90 DAYS.
I'LL TEAR IT DOWN BECAUSE I DON'T, I DON'T WANNA PAY.
I'M, I'M THE, I'M PROBABLY, I'M PAYING THE TAXES AND ALL THIS AND ALL THAT ON, ON, UH, ISSUES THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M STILL FIGHTING FOR THE, SIR, DID YOU? INSURANCE POLICY.
OKAY, SIR, DID YOU WRITE THIS HANDWRITTEN, WHATEVER IT IS RIGHT HERE? UH, THAT'S UP ON THE SCREEN? YES.
UH, THAT'S, UH, A PAPER THAT I GOT ON THE 30TH OF THIS, UH, MANUAL FLORES.
HE'S GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT THE ELECTRICITY'S GONNA TAKE SO I CAN PUT THE ELECTRICITY ON
[01:05:01]
THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE IF I GET A CHANCE TO PUT THE MEAT, YOU KNOW, THE ELECTRICAL BOX ON FROM THE HOUSE, FROM THE CITY POST TO THE HOUSE.AND THEN I WANTED TO SEE IF I CAN GET THE WATER METER.
BUT I'M TRYING TO GET THESE ESTIMATES FROM THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE I'M A BRICK LAYER.
I, I DO ALL THAT TOO, EXCEPT PLUMBING AND ELECTRICITY.
BUT YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN FIX IT AND IF THE CITY CODE, IT'S A VIOLATION OF THIS AND ALL THAT, I'LL JUST PROBABLY KNOCK IT DOWN.
SIR, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, SIR.
YOUR ESTIMATE SHEET HERE GIVES A TOTAL RIGHT OF THE ELECTRICITY ON THE INSIDE.
NOW IN THIS, YOU ARE ASKING FOR TIME TO WORK ON IT.
WELL, YES, BECAUSE MY SISTER SAID SHE WAS GONNA FIX IT AND I DON'T NEED ALL THAT.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR SISTER, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU AND THE PROPERTY.
WITH THIS HERE IS AN ESTIMATE.
90 DAYS TO DO EITHER REPAIR OR DEMO, KNOCK IT DOWN.
THAT'S TWO THINGS THAT WOULD REQUIRE.
THE THIRD ONE IS A FINANCIAL STATEMENT THAT SAYS YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT? NO.
YOU NO, I DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW.
SO DID YOU HAVE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO TACKLE THIS IN 90 DAYS? WELL, I'M MAKING $1,200 A WEEK.
I'M TRYING TO, WHAT? I'M ASKING YOU, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO, BECAUSE THE PLUMBING'S GONNA RUN ME AT $8,000 AND THEN THE, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA COST ME TO GET THE METER AND THE ELECTRICITY TO THE HOUSE THAT WAY I DON'T HAVE THE FINANCES RIGHT NOW.
SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE JUST STATED THAT YOU COULD REPAIR IT OR DEMO IT YOURSELF IN 90 DAYS? I COULD DEMO IT, DEMOLITION IT MYSELF IN 90 DAYS.
THE NEXT BIG FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION, ARE YOU LEGALLY OWNED THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW? NO.
SO YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT? WELL, NO, I'M TRYING TO, THE, THE, THE INSURANCE POLICY STATES THAT NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
IF YOU DON'T OWN THAT PROPERTY, NO.
THEN YOU CAN'T EVEN REPAIR IT.
SO THEN WHY IS THIS PAPER ON UNDER MY NAME FROM THE CITY, FROM THAT CITY? BECAUSE YOU STATED IN THE THING THAT YOU WERE CHANGING THE TITLE.
THAT'S WHY I WAS TRYING TO YES, SIR.
BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANY OF THAT, I CAN'T DO NOTHING, THEN THIS IS ALL MOOT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TOUCH THE PROPERTY.
BECAUSE YOU DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY.
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GIVEN TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE IT.
I'M TRYING TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW.
SO YOU WANT 90 DAYS TO FIX IT OR DEMO IT.
THAT'S WHAT YOU STATED OR, ALL RIGHT.
AND UNDER AND, AND STILL TRY AND CHANGE IT UNDER MY NAME BECAUSE I MEAN, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT ON US TO DETERMINE THAT.
WE ONLY HAVE TO DETERMINE THE FACTS ARE YOU DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY AND WE HAVE TO GO WITH WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE LAW OF THE LAND.
AND SO YOU DID STATE THAT YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT BEING TORN DOWN.
ALTHOUGH, HOW ABOUT YOUR SISTER? IT'S IN HER NAME.
IT'S, IT'S ON, IT WAS, IT WAS MY BROTHER'S WHO'S DECEASED HOUSE.
SO BASICALLY THE INSURANCE POLICY BENEFITS WENT TO ME.
I THINK, I THINK, ANN, GO AHEAD.
YOU HAVE A QUESTION, MR. ZUNIGA? NO, GO AHEAD.
UH, HERE YOU HAVE OWNER FLORIS SPEED H PERCENTAGE POINTS, I DON'T KNOW GONZALES FINANCIAL HOLS, UH, AS THE OWNER SUPPOSED TO, BUT WECA HERE, WE CAN FILE AGAINST THE PROPERTY.
GONZALEZ FINANCING MIGHT OWN IT.
YOU HAVE A LIEN ON IT, MIGHT SO, BUT WE'LL GO WITH THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? YEAH.
IT, IT, IT LOOKS LIKE, AND I AM, IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME, I'M, I'M CONFIRMING THAT.
[01:10:03]
GIMME ONE SECOND.SO ALL, ALL, UM, INTERESTED PARTIES WERE NOTIFIED OF THIS HEARING, INCLUDING, UM, THE GONZALEZ FINANCIAL HOLDING.
SO EVERYBODY'S BEEN NOTIFIED, UM, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES, WHETHER THEY'RE AN OWNER OR HAVE SOME TYPE OF INTEREST OR A LIEN HOLDER OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
THEY'VE ALL BEEN NOTIFIED OF IT.
ACCORDING TO, UH, WHAT MR. FE IS STATING, HE DOES NOT OWN THE PROPERTY.
SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN? WE WE'RE GONNA MAKE A MOTION NOW AND THEN CAN I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE? OFFICER? CAN I HAVE SOME SOMETHING ELSE? NO, SIR.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION HERE? YES.
I MOVED AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 4 2 2 ZAN STREET, SAN ANTONIO.
7 8 2 2 7 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.
AND IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT SECTION, SECTION 1 5 6, AND CODES, UH, 2 5 7, 8 11, 12 15.
AND I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THIS ISSUANCE OF THIS ORDER, AND FREE OF ANY TRASH AND DEBRIS.
WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A MOTION AND THE MOTION STATES A 30 DAY DEMO FOR, UM, SUBSECTIONS TWO.
AND ORDER 30 DAY DEMO ALLAM ALL TRASH MADAM.
AND ALL TRASH AND DEBRIS REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY.
MADAM CHAIR, WHO WILL THIS BE? UH, THE LETTER BE GOING TO, UH, MR. FLORES.
I'M SORRY, WHAT? WE WE'RE MAKING A MOTION.
BUT WHO, WHO ALREADY GOT A MOTION FOR THE PROPERTY? WHAT I'M SAYING IS GOING TO THE PROPERTY ONLY, BUT I MEAN, WHO ELSE IS GOING TO THAT? THAT'S IRRELEVANT.
IT GOES TO THE LAND, THE LAW OF THE LAND, WHICH IS TO WHO? WHOEVER IT GOES TO ALREADY SAID THAT.
WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT, UH, TO ADDRESS IT, IT'S GOING TO FALL ON DEAF EARS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T BELONG TO HIM.
MS. CHAIR, I JUST SO YOU KNOW, DOESN'T MATTER.
THE B S B ORDERS GO TO ALL, OR IT'S MAILED OUT TO ALL PARTIES, UM, THAT WE FOUND ON THE TITLE SEARCH.
WE, WE WE'RE, WE HAVE ALL, WE HAVE A MOTION TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY.
SO, UM, ANYWAY, I, I JUST STATED THAT AND WE HAVE A SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? SECOND? NO.
COULD WE GET A ROLL CALL, PLEASE? JESSE ZUNIGA? YES.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF SIX TO ZERO.
OKAY, SIR, YOU CAN GET WITH YOUR CODE OFFICER AND HE'LL EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS TO YOU.

A CLOSEUP, AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS ON THE PORCH, UH, HAVE DETERIORATION.
THIS IS A BACK PORTION AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ADDITION THAT THEY HAVE, UM, HAS DETERIORATION AND DAMAGE, UH, EXTERIOR WALLS.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP, YOU COULD SEE SOME OF THE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS LEANING.
THIS IS THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION THAT WAS POSTED.
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A SIDE VIEW.
AND THIS IS A RE-INSPECTION PHOTO WHERE WE DID POST, UM, FOR, WERE THE OVERHANG EXTENSION AND EXTERIOR WALLS.
SO WE ADDED, UM, MORE VIOLATIONS WHEN I WAS REVIEWING THE OVERALL PROPERTY.
SO I HAD THE OFFICER, UH, ISSUE NOTICE FOR THOSE TWO, UH, S A P M C VIOLATIONS ON FEBRUARY 3RD.
AND WE DID PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY REFERRAL GUIDE AS WELL.
AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER, UH, VIEW ON THE SIDE.
YOU COULD SEE THAT BETWEEN THE SIDING AND THE SKIRTING, UH, THERE IS SOME DETERIORATION AND LEANING.
SO WE DID ADD THE FOUNDATION, UM, FOUNDATION WALLS 3 0 4 0.5 TO THAT, JUST TO MAKE SURE.
AGAIN, WE COVER ALL EXTERIOR VIOLATIONS AND YOU CAN SEE A CLOSEUP OF THAT.
AND OF COURSE, THE DAMAGED WINDOW AND THE TRIMMING.
AND ANOTHER VIEW OF A REINSPECTION PHOTO OF THE BACK PORTION OF THE ASSESSOR OF THE ATTACHED ACCESSORY.
AND A DOOR HANGER WAS PLACED IN, IN TRYING TO MAKE CONTACT.
UH, THE OFFICER DID MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER AND THE OWNER'S, UH, GRANDSON 'CAUSE THERE WAS A LANGUAGE BARRIER 'CAUSE THE OWNER DOES SEE, UH, SPEAK SPANISH.
AND THIS IS JUST THE COMMUNITY REFERRAL GUIDE PICTURES, THE CLOSEUPS AND THE POST-IT NOTICE WITH THE ADDITIONAL VIOLATIONS THAT WE ADDED.
DO YOU HAVE ANY, UH, 3 1 1 CALLS ON THIS PROPERTY? WE HAVE A CODE HISTORY OF 26 CALLS DATING BACK FROM 2019.
[01:20:01]
THANK YOU.DID YOU, DID YOU FINISH YOUR PRESENTATION? NO, I WAS WAITING FOR THE TRANSLATOR.
UH, AGAIN, THIS IS A REINSPECTION IN MARCH.
UM, THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN THE SAME CONDITION, NO REPAIRS TO THE, UH, STRUCTURAL MEMBERS OR THE EXTERIOR, UH, SIDING WINDOWS.
AND THIS IS JUST A CLOSEUP OF THE, UM, BACK PORTION.
IT, IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE AN ATTACHED ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT'S, UH, REALLY DETERIORATED AND THE AWNINGS ARE DAMAGED AS WELL.
AN A CLOSEUP OF THE SIDING AND SKIRTING.
AND AGAIN, JUST AN OVERALL CONTEXTUAL OF THE REAR PORTION, SHOWING THE DETERIORATION TO THAT BACK, UM, ATTACHED ACCESSORY, ANOTHER REINSPECTION IN APRIL.
AND AGAIN, JUST SHOWING THAT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE.
NOW, UH, THEY DID ATTEMPT TO PUT SOME PLYWOOD ON THE EXTERIOR TO TRY TO MAKE MINIMAL EFFORTS IN TRYING TO REPAIR IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY JUST KIND OF PLACED IT LEANING OVER THE DETERIORATION OR THE DETERIORATED, UH, STRUCTURAL MEMBERS.
SO THEY DID BUY SOME, UM, PLYWOOD.
UM, I DID MEET WITH THE OWNER.
UH, SHE DID ADVISE THAT THEY HAD SOME, UH, MEDICAL ISSUES, HER AND HER HUSBAND IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS THAT THEY COULDN'T MAKE THE REPAIRS.
BUT, UM, THEY ARE WILLING TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS THAT THEY NEED.
AND AGAIN, THIS, I MEAN, THEY, THEY MADE SOME ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN UP THEIR PROPERTY.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF STORAGE UNDERNEATH.
AND, AND IN SPEAKING TO THE OWNER, THEY WANNA KEEP THAT LITTLE ADDITION.
BUT OF COURSE IT JUST NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AND SOUND.
AND THAT WAS A POSTING OF THE B S B ORDERS ON, UH, MAY 19TH.
SO STAFF RECOMMENDS FOR THE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS FOUNDATION WALLS, EXTERIOR WALLS, OVERHANG, EXTENSION, AND DAMAGE WINDOWS TO BE REPAIRED.
UM, THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 5 66 WEST HARLAND.
I, I GUESS I HAVE A QUESTION THAT, UM, IS IT ATTACHED OR DETACHED? I THINK IT'S ATTACHED TO THE MAIN.
AND YOU WANT THEM TO REPAIR THAT TO, THEY WANT TO KEEP THAT ATTACHMENT BECAUSE THEY USE IT FOR STORAGE.
WHAT? STORAGE OF WHAT? WHATEVER ITEMS HAVE UNDER IN, IN UNDERNEATH IT.
WELL, UM, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THIS IS FERNANDEZ.
ONE, WE ARE DEALING WITH THREE CASES.
AND THE DATES WILL BE 12 0 6 22.
UM, AND WHICH CODES? AND IT'LL BE, WE'RE DEALING WITH FIVE.
UM, WELL, YOUR FIRST CASE IS 12 0 6 23, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND IT IS, UH, SECTION 3 0 4 0.4? CORRECT.
THE NEXT ONE IS, UH, FEBRUARY 3RD, 23.
AND IT HAS TWO AND IT'LL BE 3 0 4 0.6.
AND THEN THE NEXT DATE WILL BE FEBRUARY 23RD, 23.
AND IT'LL BE CODE 3 0 4 0.5 AND 3 0 4 0.9, CORRECT? CORRECT.
NOW, ON THE PLYWOOD, I NOTICED THAT THEY PUT THE PLYWOOD UP.
WERE THEY INFORMED THAT THAT HAS TO BE TREATED? WE DID INFORM THEM.
UM, HOWEVER, UH, THE OFFICER IS A NEW OFFICER IN, IN THE AREA AND TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
SO, UM, AGAIN, THERE, THAT'S WHY THERE'S DIFFERENT DATES.
'CAUSE I KEPT ON TELLING THE OFFICER, WHAT ABOUT THIS? WHAT ABOUT THAT? MAKE SURE WE ADDRESS EVERYTHING.
OF COURSE, UH, THERE WAS THAT LANGUAGE BARRIER, SO WE HAD TO BRING IN ANOTHER OFFICER TO KIND OF INTERPRET THAT, THAT, UM, BUT YES, WE DID LET THEM KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DID RECOMMEND, YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANTED TO JUST REMOVE IT, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE IT'S SEVERELY DETERIORATED.
THEY SAID THEY WANTED TO KEEP IT, THEY'LL MAKE THE REPAIRS.
AND THAT'S THE PLYWOOD THAT THEY BOUGHT.
BUT DID YOU GUYS INFORM THEM MM-HMM.
BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER CITATION COMING
[01:25:01]
UP, CORRECT? MM-HMM.SO THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT SOME TYPE OF WEATHER PROTECTION ON THAT BARE PLYWOOD.
WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES.
MR. ZUNIGA, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT, UH, THE CLUTTER OR THE, FOR LACK OF BETTER WORDS, WE ADDRESSED, UM, OTHER VIOLATIONS.
UM, YES, OUTSIDE FROM, UH, BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD FOR THE OUTDOOR PLACEMENT, THEY DID MAKE, UM, THEY WEREN'T IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT.
AND THEY DO HAVE THEIR ITEMS STORED UNDERNEATH THE, THE REAR PORTION AND THE INSIDE.
CAN YOU GET AROUND ON THE INSIDE? WE DIDN'T GO INTO THE INTERIOR, SIR.
WE ADDRESS THE VIOLATIONS THROUGH THE EXTERIOR.
IF THERE'S A FIRE OR THE LIKES, IT'S GONNA BE CATASTROPHE THEN.
IF, YOU KNOW, IT IS HOARDING THAT THEY HAVE INSIDE AND EVEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, THE FRONT YARD, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, LOOKS BAD.
HAVE A FOLLOW UP ON THE EXTERIOR PHOTO THAT YOU SHOWED IN THAT BROWN SPOT.
WHAT WAS THAT THAT THEY REMOVED? MM, YOU SAID THEY DID SOME EXTERIOR ON THE BACKYARD? YEAH, THE, I, I THINK IT WAS A PILE OF LIKE TREE LIMBS OR BRUSH THAT THEY HAD THAT WE HAD THEM ADDRESS.
SO THEY DID, YOU KNOW, ADDRESS THE, THE OUTSIDE PLACEMENT.
SO THEY'RE DOING IT, BUT IT'S JUST NOT CORRECT.
DID YOU GIVE THEM THE 10 DAY NOTICE FOR THE OUTSIDE PLACEMENT OR ANY OF THE, WERE THEY ALL 10 DAY NOTICES? I BELIEVE SO.
COULD YOU EXTEND IT TO A 20 DAY OR SO BASED OFF OF THE, IT IT, OUR SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY GENERATES A REINSPECTION DATE.
IF IT REMAINS IN VIOLATION, IT GETS FILLED AGAIN AND IT GETS ANOTHER LIKE 10, 14 DAYS.
SO IT'S SET ON 10 DAYS AUTOMATICALLY.
WE HAVE ANYBODY HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE? YEAH.
YEAH, MS. GARCIA, THAT ONE'S GONNA NEED TO TRANSLATE.
MS. GARCIA, SHE'S, I THINK WE NEED A SPANISH TRANSLATION, PLEASE.
CAN SHE STATE HER NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? YEAH, MA'AM.
YOU CAN ADJUST THE MIC TO YOU BY BENDING IT BACK AND FORTH.
UM, MY NAME IS MARIA GARCIA, FIVE SIX WEST HARLAN.
YOU'LL STATE YOUR CASE AND SHE'LL TRANSLATE FOR YOU.
SINCE 2018, WE'VE HAD MEDICAL ISSUES.
SINCE 2018, WE'VE HAD MEDICAL ISSUES.
MY HUSBAND HAD A PARALYSIS ON, PART OF HIS FACE IS UNIVERSITY.
SO THEN AFTER THAT WE HAD CO UH, COVID HIT.
HE WAS ABOUT ONE MONTH IN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL.
HE, SO THEN HE WAS ON OXYGEN IN THE HOME UNTIL LIKE DECEMBER OR JANUARY.
SO WE'VE HAD ALL THESE MEDICAL ISSUES.
[01:30:06]
SO THEN HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH HIS EYESIGHT, HIS VEINS RUPTURED.THEY HAD TO OPERATE ON HIS EYES.
I'M, UH, MA'AM, COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN TO HER? WE JUST, OKAY.
WE JUST NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROPERTY.
WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO ABOUT THE PROPERTY? OH, SO WE'RE WORKING WITH A YOUNG MAN RIGHT NOW.
HE'S GOING TO FIX THE WINDOWS.
HE'S ALSO GOING TO TAKE THE ROOF DOWN SO THAT EVERYTHING IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY.
COULD YOU ASK HER IF SHE BROUGHT INTO ANY INFORMATION SO THAT WE CAN SEE THAT? SO SOME YOUNG LADY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GONNA HELP ME FILL OUT THIS, UH, APP, THIS, UH, APPLICATION FROM THE CITY.
CAN YOU TALK INTO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE? HMM.
A YOUNG LADY GAVE ME THESE DOCUMENTS AND THEY SAID THAT SHE, Y'ALL WOULD HELP ME FILL THEM OUT THERE.
UM, IT'S FROM NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
PARDON? OH, LEGAL WILL LOOK AT 'EM REAL QUICK.
SO WHEN THE, THE LADY WENT TO VISIT US ABOUT THIS, THESE DOCUMENTS HERE IS WHEN THEY HAD, UH, OPERATED ON OUR EYES, INCLUDING THEY'D DONE LASER TO MY EYESIGHT.
THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T ACCOMPLISH ANY OF THIS.
TELL HER THAT THIS PROPERTY DIDN'T GET LIKE THIS YESTERDAY.
IT'S, IT'S BEEN, YOU KNOW, ON THE DECLINE FOR YEARS.
SO, AND SHE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING.
AND THEN WHEN SHE GETS HERE, YOU KNOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN NOW SHE HAS AN APPLICATION FOR THE, FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OR SOMETHING? NO, BECAUSE WE USUALLY DON'T HAVE MONEY TO DO ANY OF THE REPAIRS.
IF SHE DOESN'T HAVE MONEY FOR REPAIRS, HOW IS SHE GONNA REPAIR IT? IF, IF THIS BOARD ORDERS A REPAIR, HOW IS THAT GONNA HAPPEN? IF I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THESE SERVICES, I'M GONNA REQUEST A LOAN TO BE ABLE TO REPAIR.
I THINK WE HAVE A, I THINK, UM, THIS IS, FERNANDEZ HAS A QUESTION.
CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE 82? IS WHAT? IT'S ON THE, UH, ON OURS.
I THINK IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT ON YOURS.
UM, THE COMMUNITY, UH, THIS PAMPHLET, DID SHE NOTIFY ANYBODY IN THIS PAMPHLET FOR HELP? WHEN, WHEN IT WAS DELIVERED? THAT'S WHAT THEY, THIS WAS PUT ON HER DOOR WITH THE NOTICES.
SO THIS IS TO HELP OUT TO SEE IF SHE'S QUALIFIED FOR THESE SERVICES.
DID SHE GO TO ANY ONE OF THEM ON THE PAMPHLET? 'CAUSE IS COMMUNITY SERVICES?
[01:35:06]
NO.HAS SHE REACHED OUT TO ANY ORGANIZATIONS TO SEE IF THEY COULD ASSIST HER? NO.
A LONG TIME AGO, SOME PEOPLE FROM ROSA VERDE WENT AND SAID THEY WERE GONNA PUT SOME PANELS ABOVE, BUT IT WASN'T THEM.
MS. MS. CHAIR AND, AND THE REST OF THE NO BOARD.
I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, UM, THAT WE RIGHT NOW HAVE A FLUENT SPANISH SPEAKER.
THE DOCUMENTATION THAT SHE'S RECEIVING FROM N H S D, THE FORMS I JUST LOOKED AT, AND THE ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE IN ENGLISH.
SO, WHILE, WHILE I, I BELIEVE, AND I, I DON'T, I DON'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT.
I BELIEVE THAT THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU'RE ASKING ARE, ARE VALID.
BUT ONE, ONE, UM, CONCERN THAT WE DO HAVE IS THE DOCUMENTS THAT I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THAT SHE HAD.
THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU WERE ASKING RIGHT NOW, IF SHE'S READ THEM OR FOLLOWED UP, THEY'RE IN ENGLISH.
SO I, I, UM, I THINK WE MIGHT WANT TO MAKE SURE THE DOCUMENTATION THAT SHE IS GETTING, THAT THIS BOARD IS WANTING HER TO, TO, TO, TO USE IT'S IS IN, IS IN SPANISH.
UH, YOU, YOU GOOD THERE? YES, SIR.
IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT SHE HAS, DOES SHE, CAN'T SHE READ ENGLISH AND UNDERSTAND IT? NO.
DID SHE ASK THE CODE OFFICER TO EXPLAIN THE DOCUMENTS? NO.
IS THERE A WAY, THE, THE, THE GUY WHO'S WORKING ON THE HOUSE NOW, DID HE GIVE A TIMELINE WHEN HE COULD FINISH THE WINDOWS AND REPAIRS? MM-HMM.
JUST THE WINDOWS, ALL THE REPAIRS THAT ARE ON THE, THE, THE LIST, BECAUSE THERE'S LIKE 1, 2, 3, 4, THERE'S LIKE FIVE OR SIX OF THEM.
I'M, I'M GOING TO TEAR THE ROOF DOWN AND SEE IF THEY CAN JUST BUILD IT LIKE THIS.
I'M GONNA TAKE ALL THE ROOF OFF.
DO YOU HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO THESE REPAIRS? AND HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU NEED FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE MADE? I'M GONNA SEE IF THE, I COULD TAKE A LOAN OUT QUESTION.
UM, HOW MANY DAYS DID THE GUY SAID ABOUT THREE WEEKS TO REPAIR? AND HE JUST SAID THE WINDOWS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
CAN YOU PUT SLIDE 90 UP, UH, THIS ROOF HERE, IS THAT THE ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? THE METAL ROOF? YES.
AND THEN LITTLE BY LITTLE, I'M GONNA TAKE CARE OF THE REST.
NOW, UH, FRED, MR. ZUNIGA AND YOUR MOTION, REMEMBER ALL, ALL THIS, UH, ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF VIOLATIONS WERE GIVEN ON DIFFERENT DATES.
I, I KNOW THAT IT, IT'S, IT'S, WE'RE GONNA HAVE THREE DIFFERENT MOTIONS.
IT'S THREE DIFFERENT MOTIONS, BUT THAT'S
[01:40:01]
WHAT I DECLARED EARLIER.BUT IT'S IRRELEVANT BECAUSE ALL THE REPAIRS HAVE TO BE MADE PER THE MOTION, BUT IT'D BE THREE.
BUT IN REALITY, UH, COUNSEL, I, I'M GONNA ASK A QUESTION TO YOU.
SINCE THEY WERE NOT GIVEN IN SPANISH AND ENGLISH DOCUMENTS, IS THAT NOT A REQUIREMENT FROM US TO DO THAT? IT IS A REQUIREMENT, CORRECT? YES, IT IS.
BOARD MEMBERS, UM, JUST, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, UH, THAT WAS ADVISED IN SPANISH.
UH, WHEN I KNEW THAT THERE WAS A LANGUAGE BARRIER, I DID HAVE A SPANISH SPEAKING OFFICER MAKE LOCATION WITH THE OFFICER HANDLING THE CASE AND EXPLAIN THE PROCESS IN SPANISH.
AND THE COMMUNITY FOR REFERRAL GUIDE, THE BACKSIDE IS IN SPANISH.
UH, I ALSO REACHED OUT TO OUR, UH, LIAISON, UH, OUR MANAGEMENT LIAISON WITH CODE, UH, TO OFFER ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING SERVICES DEPARTMENT AS WELL TO SEE IF SHE'LL BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR ANY REHAB PROGRAMS WITH THEM AS WELL.
AND THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS STATED BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT STAFF WAS GONNA MAKE WITHIN THEIR DOCUMENTS.
UH, SO THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION.
IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH, CORRECT? CORRECT.
WE DID MAKE, UM, CONTACT WITH MS. GARCIA AND WITH HER SON AT, UH, A RE-INSPECTION, AND HE WAS TRANSLATING TO HIS MOM EVERYTHING THAT WAS BEING SAID AUDIBLY.
BUT WHAT ABOUT IN WRITING THE PAMPHLET? YES, THE PAMPHLET'S IN SPANISH AS WELL.
I, I DON'T KNOW IF ALL OF YOU ALL WERE HERE WHEN WE WERE DOING THE, UM, THE SS A P M C AND THAT QUESTION WAS ASKED BY ONE OF THE, UM, ONE OF OUR, UH, PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
AND I REMEMBER SAVITA SAYING THAT THESE, ALL THESE DOCUMENTS DON'T HAVE TO BE IN SPANISH, JUST ENGLISH.
SO BOARD I, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND, AND BY NO MEANS IS, IS SOMEBODY STATING THAT WE, THESE FORMS HAVE TO BE IN SPANISH.
WE, I DO BELIEVE THAT, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS TAKEN STEPS TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING ON.
MY CONCERN IS JUST THE DOCUMENTATION THAT SHE PRESENTED TODAY WAS IN ENGLISH.
AND, UM, I IDEALLY, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS, IS, IS SPEAK TO THE OWNERS TO DETERMINE, UM, IF THEY'RE AWARE OF THE VIOLATIONS AND HOW MIGHT THEY GO BEST IN, IN ADDRESSING THEM.
AND I, I, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THAT, THE DOCUMENTATION, THE, THE, THE TRANSLATION AND, AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
UM, THIS BOARD SHOULD BE AWARE OF IT, BUT I, I, I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT, UM, STEPS HAVE TAKEN TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE, UM, AT LEAST UNDERSTANDS AND COMPREHENDS WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO, LEGAL, I HAVE A QUESTION ALSO ON, ON THAT, ATTACHED, WHATEVER IT IS, CARPORT OR, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
IT'S JUST, UH, CAN WE MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, TO DEMO THAT? BECAUSE IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT FEASIBLE FOR REPAIR.
NO, MA, THERE, THERE IS NO PROPERTY IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD, UM, THAT IS, UH, CONSIDERED A DANGEROUS PREMISE.
UM, THESE ARE S A P M C VIOLATIONS.
UM, AND I WOULD, UH, UNLESS THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE THAT'S PRESENTED TO THIS BOARD, I WOULD URGE US TO, UH, UH, RELY ON WHAT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES HAS BROUGHT BEFORE YOU AND, AND, AND, AND FOCUS ON THAT.
WELL, CAN WE SEND IT, CAN WE SEND THIS CASE BACK FOR THAT, THAT STRUCTURE TOKO.
AND WE SEND, IF, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE'S EVIDENCE THAT THIS, THIS STRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE, UM, REVIEWED, I, IT LOOKS LIKE FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, IT IS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
SO IF, IF THIS, IF THIS BOARD FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED FOR ONE, YES, BUT I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN, IT'S NOT A SEPARATE STRUCTURE.
SO IN ESSENCE, WHAT YOU ARE STATING, UM, YOU'RE ASKING THEM TO REVIEW THE ENTIRE PROPERTY AS A DANGEROUS PREMISE? NO, JUST THAT, UM, WHATEVER IT IS.
RIGHT? BUT IT'S ATTACHED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
IT'S A, IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT AN ADDITION.
HUH? IF YOU DO, IF YOU DO A, A REASSESSMENT, BECAUSE IT'S AN ATTACHED STRUCTURE.
IT HAS, ALL OF IT HAS TO BE ASSESSED AS A DANGEROUS PREMISE.
HOW DO, DO YOU WANT THREE DIFFERENT MOTIONS? OKAY.
[01:45:01]
IT HAS TO BE, YES.THERE, THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT NOTICES.
SO IT WOULD BE THREE DIFFERENT MOTIONS WITH DAYS? YES.
UH, MR. ZUNIGA, I DON'T KNOW, UH, HOW WE COULD DO THIS, BUT, UH, I THINK THE COURT OFFICER IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE ON TOP OF IT.
THAT THEY MIGHT PUT ALL THE P WOOD THAT'S IN, EVEN IN THAT, UH, GARAGE OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT.
AND IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE STRUCTURE RIGHT, THEY'LL BE LEANING AND ALL THAT.
THEY'LL BE TO NO, NO USE, BECAUSE THEN THEY'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND REDO THE WHOLE DANG THING BACK THERE.
SO I, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.
WELL, I WOULD AGREE, BUT LEGAL SAYS, LOOK AT THE, WHAT THEY ALREADY DONE.
RIGHT NOW IT'S CLEAN BOARD IT BOARD I, AGAIN, I WANT MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON NOTICE AND WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD.
IF THIS BOARD BELIEVES THAT THIS STRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE REASSESSED AS A DANGEROUS PREMISE, FINE.
WHAT I AM, I AM STATING IS RIGHT NOW THAT PART OF THE HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD FOR THIS BOARD TO RULE THAT SOMETHING, SOME ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN ON THAT PART.
BUT, UH, WHAT I'M SAYING IS HERE, EVEN WITH THIS NEW BOARD THAT THEY PUT IN THERE, WHAT HAPPENED? IT'S, IT'S ALREADY LEANING.
OKAY, LET 'EM AGAIN, BOARD IF YEAH.
WE LET 'EM DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS PART, THIS, THIS DESTRUCTION REPAIRABLE, IT'S REPAIRABLE.
BUT I'M JU I'M, I'M, MAY I SAY SOMETHING? SO THE, THE LADY THAT CAME OUT FROM THE CITY TOLD ME TO TAKE OFF ONE THAT WAS CROOKED AND FOR US TO PUT THIS ONE HERE AND IT'S LEANING OVER.
SO SHE TOLD ME, AND WHAT WE DID WAS WE PUT TWO, FOUR BY FOURS AND THEN A PIECE OF WOOD ON THE TOP.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO.
I, I, UH, MS. BROWN, I WITHDRAW MY COMMENT AND LEGAL, I RETURNED ON MY COMMENT.
THEY, THE COURT OFFICER TOLD YOU TO PUT IT LEANING.
IT'S, IT'S UNDER THE RECORD THERE.
UH, DO, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE, UM, OKAY.
COULD WE GET A MO? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
COULD WE GET A MOTION PLEASE? YEAH.
MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS FRED S I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE FIRST MOTION.

GOOD MORNING BOARD FOR THE RECORD.
MY NAME IS DALE RUSSELL, CODE ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR WITH THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO APARTMENT INSPECTIONS TEAM.
THE PROPERTY I'M PRESENTING, THE PROPERTY I'M PRESENTING FOR UPDATE TODAY IS LOCATED AT ONE 10.
MARY LOUISE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 0 1.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION BEING N C B 6 7 0 0 BLOCK NINE LOT 10 11 AND WEST 35 FEET OF 12 LOCATED IN COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN.
THE OWNER OF RECORD IS HAVENS IN L L C.
UH, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT OF MONTICELLO PARK AND IS CURRENTLY TENANT OCCUPIED.
THE SECTIONS THAT WERE IN VIOLATION WERE 3 0 2, UH, 3 0 4 0.2.
PROTECTIVE TREAT TREATMENT 3 0 4 0.4 STRUCTURAL MEMBERS, 3 0 4 0.6, EXTERIOR WALLS, 3 0 5 0.3, INTERIOR SURFACES 3 0 5 0.4 STAIRWAYS AND WALKING SURFACES 3 0 5 0.5 HANDRAILS AND GUARDS THROUGH OH 9.1 INFESTATION AND 6 0 4 0.3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAZARDS.
ON AUGUST 18TH, 2022, THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD MET WITH IN A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT ONE 10 MARYLU.
THE B S P ORDERED THAT ALL RESTORATIONS AND ABATEMENTS OF VIOLATIONS BE MADE WITHIN 90 DAYS AND FURTHER ORDERED THAT CIVIL FINES AND CONTINUING CIVIL PENALTIES BE ASSESSED FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY SEPTEMBER 8TH.
ORDERS WERE SIGNED AND DELIVERED AND RE-INSPECTIONS WERE MADE WEEKLY TO TRACK PROGRESS.
OCTOBER WE RECEIVED THE FIRST ENGINEER'S LETTER AND REPAIRS STARTED DECEMBER, UH, B S B ORDERS RE UH, TIMELINE REPAIR, TIMELINE EXPIRED AND THE
[01:55:01]
PROPERTY STARTED ACCRUING AT THE ADDITIONAL FINES.WEEKLY INSPECTIONS FOUND, UH, REPAIRS NOT COMPLETE.
INVOICES AND FINES WERE ISSUED FOR DECEMBER, JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.
A SECOND ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR THE PROPERTY WAS, UH, REPORTED THAT ALL PROPERTIES HAD BEEN MADE.
IT WAS VERIFIED BY CODE OFFICERS.
UM, THE INITIAL FINES HAVE BEEN PAID AND THE, UH, OTHERS ARE IN OUTSTANDING AT THIS TIME.
ALL THE STRUCTURAL ISSUES HAVE BEEN COMPLIED WITH AND THE PROPERTY IS IN COMPLIANCE.
UH, THIS, CAN YOU, CAN YOU GO OVER THOSE, UH, CODES AGAIN? 'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE AN ATTACHMENT TO OUR PICTURES HERE.
THE, UH, CODES THAT WERE IN VIOLATION WERE 3 0 4 0.2.
INTERIOR SURFACES 3 0 5 0.4 STAIRWELL STAIRWELLS AND WALKING SURFACES.
3 0 9 0.1 INFESTATION AND 6 0 4 0.3.
AND AS OF TODAY, IT IS IN COMPLIANCE OF ALL THOSE SECTIONS.
LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THIS PICTURE HERE.
WHICH UH, NUMBER IS THIS HERE? UM, IS THAT ONE 40? YES, SIR.
LET ME ASK YOU, COULD YOU BRING UP ONE 40 PLEASE? YEAH.
IS THAT CONNECTED THERE WITH THAT? UH, THAT LOOKS LIKE A TWO BY FOUR OR SOMETHING IS RUNNING ALONG THAT SIDE.
IS THAT, UM, RAIL CONNECTED? YES.
THAT THE STAIRWELL WAS FREESTANDING.
THE ENGINEER REQUIRED THAT THEY MAKE THIS CONNECTION TO THE STRUCTURE TO STABILIZE THE STAIRWELL.
BUT IS IT CON IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S CONNECTED RIGHT HERE AT THE IT YEAH.
IT'S BOLTED TO THE WALL THEN THE STAIRS OR BOLTED TO IT.
UM, I HAVE OTHER ISSUES TO THAT.
BUT THAT'S THE WAY YOU SAID ALL UH, ITEMS WERE MET.
ALL, ALL OF UM, VIOLATIONS ARE NOW IN COMPLIANCE AND ONE OF 'EM WAS, UM, TREATMENT.
DO YOU SEE A PROBLEM WITH THIS? LOOK AT THE RAIL, THE, UH, POLES, THEY'RE NOT TREATED.
AND THEN IF YOU LOOK AT THAT FIRST STEP, THAT PIECE IS NOT TREATED.
THAT'S, UH, RUSTED OUT WHERE THEY REPLACED THIS AT THE BOTTOM STEP.
SO PROTECTIVE TREATMENT, IF YOU READ THE THING, IT DOES STATE ALL EXTERIOR WILL BE TREATED CORRECT.
ARE YOU, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE THE METAL SUPPORTS? THE METAL SUPPORTS.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE THAT STEP IS RIGHT THERE AT THAT BOTTOM RUN RIGHT THERE WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE REPLACED THAT STEP, THERE IS NOT TREATMENT THERE.
THEY UH, THEY GROUND OUT THE, THE RUST DOWN TO THE BASE METAL AND THEY HAVE PAINTED IT AS A WIND.
'CAUSE THIS IS NOT PAINTED RIGHT.
AND THAT IS NOW, AS OF TODAY PAINTED.
DO WE HAVE A FOLLOW UP PICTURE THAT YOU NO SIR.
WE, WE TOOK THESE PHOTOS, UH, THIS ONE BECAUSE THEY REMOVED THE RUST AND THEY STABILIZED THE, THE STRUCTURE.
WE TOOK THESE YEAH, THEY SHOULD HAVE OXIDIZED IT AND THEN PAINTED IT.
YES, BUT I'M JUST SAYING SINCE THERE'S NO DATE ON THIS ONE, WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN.
THIS WAS TAKEN ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.
SO THIS IS DONE AND THEY'RE CAUGHT UP ON EVERYTHING, CORRECT? AS OF TO YESTERDAY? AS OF YESTERDAY, CORRECT.
UH, ACCORDING TO THE ENGINEER REPORTS, EVERYTHING IS STABLE AND THEN MY TEAM FOLLOWS UP WITH THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.
I I MIGHT QUESTION THE DESIGN.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING ELSE ON THAT DOOR RIGHT THERE.
THE LEFT SIDE, IS THAT A TRIPPING HAZARD? THE, THE RISE FROM THE, FROM THE GROUND LEVEL? YES.
[02:00:01]
AND IF, IF IT WAS CONSTRUCTED TODAY, BUT THIS WAS UNDER THE, THE, UM, REGULATIONS OF THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION.AND IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, WASN'T THIS THE ONE THAT HAD A FULL-TIME MAINTENANCE? YES, IT WASN'T PROBLEM.
THEY DID HAVE FULL-TIME MAINTENANCE, BUT THEY OUTSOURCED THE REPAIRS.
AND THEY DID IT WITH A COMMERCIAL CONTRACTOR.
ARE YOU STILL MAKING ROUTINE OR JUST WAITING TILL COST TO COME IN? NO, WE'RE STILL INVOLVED IN THIS PROPERTY.
SO WE'RE GOOD ON EVERYTHING ON THIS ONE.
SO WE CAN CLOSE THE BOOK RIGHT NOW.
STRUCTURALLY WE CAN CLOSE THE BOOKS NOW STEPH, THIS ONE FOR YOU? DOES THIS ONE GO ON THAT LIST? WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
WHAT WAS IT, THE ONE YEAR LIST OR SIX MONTH LIST? IS THIS ONE OF THOSE ONES THAT'S ON THAT LIST? OKAY.
NO, THIS ONE WOULD NOT THAT WELL THIS ONE DOESN'T MEET THEIR QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE PROACTIVE APARTMENT INSPECTION PROGRAM.
'CAUSE THIS WAS PRE-PROGRAM, THIS WAS A PRE-PROGRAM PROPERTY BEFORE.
IF THEY, IF THEY GET ADDITIONAL VIOLATIONS, THEN THEY WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THE PROGRAM.
SO THIS IS PRIOR TO THE, SO ALL THE ONES THAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR THAT ARE COMING TO US TO REVIEW ARE ALL PRIOR TO THE, UH, THING YOU JUST PASSED, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
THAT, UH, APRIL, AS OF APRIL 2ND IS WHEN.
ANYTHING ELSE? I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
YOU ONLY SHOWED US ABOUT WHAT? ABOUT FIVE PICTURES HERE? YES MA'AM.
AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, UH, WHEN THIS PROPERTY WAS UP FOR REVIEW, IT WAS A THOUSAND PICTURES.
YOU KNOW, IT WAS A LOT OF THEM.
AND, UH, SO I, I MEAN, I HAVE TO TAKE YOUR WORD THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED, BUT IT WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT TO HAVE MORE PICTURES AND WE, WE TRIED TO CAPTURE WHEN WE'RE TAKING PICTURES OF THE VIOLATIONS, WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE OF OVERALL AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A PICTURE OF CLOSER UP SO YOU CAN SEE IT BETTER.
UH, WE DID JUST TAKE CONTEXTUAL PICTURES.
THIS TIME WE'RE BACKING UP, TRYING TO CAPTURE AS MANY IMAGES AS POSSIBLE IN THAT ONE, IN THAT ONE, UH, PHOTO TO SHOW YOU THAT THERE IS PROGRESS MADE.
SO THERE'S NOTHING REALLY FOR US TO FOCUS IN ON BECAUSE THEY DID DO WELL.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? QUESTION.
UH, I KNOW THAT WHEN THIS CASE FIRST CAME TO US RE AND HAD CONCERNS, HAVE WE TOUCHED BASE WITH THE RESIDENTS? ARE THEY OKAY? IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD FINE WITH THE, UH, REPAIRS? WELL, THE CASE, UH, THE CASE PRESENTING I'M, I'M ADDRESSING TODAY IS VERY FOCUSED ON THE STRUCTURE.
WE ARE STILL INVOLVED WITH THE, WITH THE PROPERTY ITSELF.
SO WE'RE STILL DOING INSPECTIONS THERE TO MAKE SURE IT, IT STAYS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT'S IN, UH, AS, AS RELATED BY THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE.
SO AS OF RIGHT NOW, THAT PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE CONDITIONS HAVE ALL BEEN MET.
MS. CHAIR, I DO BELIEVE WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WANT TO SPEAK.
I JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN THAT FAR.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BAD TO SAY TO YOU ABOUT
TODAY WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE HERE.
UM, IS IT SOMEBODY GAR? MRS. GARZA.
WOULD YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? BIANCA MALDONADO PO BOX 1 0 0 3 1 5 7 8 2 0 1.
I'M HERE OFFERING COMMENTS ON BEHALF OF DREA GARZA, PRESIDENT OF THE MONTICELLO PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
SHE'S PRESENT HERE ALONG WITH MR. SIMMONS.
THEY'RE BOTH YIELDING THEIR TIME TO ME.
I I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE, WE, WE CLARIFY SOMETHING? YES, SIR.
DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET NINE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
YOU GET THREE MINUTES BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A PROPERTY OWNER.
UM, SO I, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ALSO, BUT IT'S NOT, LET'S GIVE YOU NINE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON THAT.
I DON'T THINK I'LL TAKE NINE MINUTES, BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT CLARIFICATION COULD BE MADE IN THE FUTURE ON YOUR AGENDA.
WELL, BEFORE YOU SPEAK, THE CLARIFICATION IS YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION, SIR.
I THINK WE COULD ALSO ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY FOR A CLARIFICATION OF WHY THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY WASN'T REVOKED WHEN WORK WAS BROUGHT FORWARD TO YOU DURING THE LAST HEARING.
UNDER TESTIMONY THAT THE OWNER PERFORMED WORK WITHOUT PROPER PERMITS FROM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
MS. CHAIR, I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE WE ARE, WE'RE CRYSTAL CLEAR ON, UM, WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING AND WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD.
AT NO POINT IN TIME DOES THIS BOARD HAVE ANY, UM, UH, DECISION MAKING AUTHORITY IN REGARDS TO ANYONE'S CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD WAS THERE WERE
[02:05:01]
SS A P M C VIOLATIONS.THAT THIS BOARD ASKED THAT THEY BE ADDRESSED AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TO ADDRESS.
WE'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER AND THE REPORT HE PROVIDED YOU TODAY WAS NOT THE SAME INFORMATION HE PROVIDED US.
IN OUR LAST UPDATE, HE SAID THAT THEY HAD ONLY COMPLETED 90% OF THE VIOLATIONS.
UM, AND IN WITH RESPECT TO CODE VIOLATIONS, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO SPEAK TO TODAY.
THERE WAS ALSO THE STATE OF TEXAS FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE PROPERTY OWNER FOR CODE VIOLATIONS.
I'M GONNA STOP US RIGHT THERE.
THAT IS IRRELEVANT TO WHAT THIS BOARD AND IS WHAT, WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD IN REGARDS TO SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS FOR CODE COMPLIANT, FOR CODE VIOLATIONS, FOR CODE COMPLIANCE, THE STATE REGULATORS AND OR STATE LICENSES.
THIS BOARD DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH, I WANT MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO INTERRUPT YOU, BUT I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FOCUSED ON WHAT THIS BOARD, UM, HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DISCUSS AND WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THEM.
WE FIND IT UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS CASE DID NOT COME BEFORE YOU EARLIER BECAUSE THESE VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN OUTSTANDING SINCE DECEMBER, SINCE YOUR LAST ORDERS.
UM, WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THEY'RE FINALLY IN COMPLIANCE NOW THAT WE ARE JUNE 1ST.
UM, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY LONG SITUATION OF, UH, WHERE IT WAS CAUSING LIFE SAFETY ISSUES.
WHEN YOU HAVE OCCUPANTS OF A PROPERTY THAT CANNOT, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT LIKE YOU AND I, YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ASSISTED LIVING, AND SO THEREFORE THEY'RE A VULNERABLE POPULATION.
JUST LIKE WE LOOK AT SENIORS FOR A VULNERABLE POPULATION, THEY'RE NOT GONNA CALL 3 1 1 ON CODE COMPLIANCE VIOLATIONS.
AND SO THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WHEN YOU TAKE ON CASES OF THIS MATTER, THAT THEY'RE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IN A TIMELY FASHION.
LIKE I SAID, THE ORDERS EXPIRED BACK IN DECEMBER, UM, AND IT'S JUST BEEN ADMINISTRATIVELY HANDLED UP UNTIL NOW.
AND SO I REALLY HOPE THAT ALL THE FINES THAT YOU'VE ISSUED AND ORDERED BACK IN AUGUST HAVE BEEN PAID, UM, FOR THIS PROPERTY.
IT, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE GOAL IS FOR THIS TO BE A CONTRIBUTING PROPERTY AND NOT A DETRIMENT OR A BLIGHT TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO ENSURE THAT IT DOES NOT JEOPARDIZE THE LIFE SAFETY OF ITS INHABITANTS.
SO I THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERATION OF OUR COMMENTS AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND THANK YOU.
WE FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE A CONTRIBUTOR AND NOT A DETRIMENT.
ANY OTHER, ANY, ANYBODY, ANYBODY ELSE HERE TO SPEAK OR WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? THERE'S A LADY IN THE BACK YEAH.
UM, IS IT, IS IT SIMMONS? WHO? TOM THOMPSON.
YOU WANNA SPEAK MALDONADO? I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT YOU WERE, UH, HOME ASSOCIATION.
SHE JUST, SHE THE TWO PEOPLE WERE GONNA GIVE, UH, THE OTHER, SHE'S GONNA GIVE HER HER TIME AND I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND ALLOW THAT.
SHE ONLY, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND ALLOW THAT IF YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE A SIX MORE ADDITIONAL MINUTES OR ANY MORE TIME TO SPEAK.
MALDONADO PO BOX 1 0 0 3 1 5 7 8 2 0 1 WITH THE MONTICELLO PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION OFFERING COMMENTS ON BEHALF OF DREA GARZA, PRESIDENT AND ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THANK DREA AND ALSO TOM WHO SAT THROUGH TODAY'S HEARING.
THIS APARTMENT IS ON THE ENTRANCE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
IT'S NEXT TO THE PRIMO, IT'S NEXT TO THE PRIMO BUS ROUTE ALSO.
AND SO IT IS A REAL IMPORTANT ISSUE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO TRANSPORTATION AND MOBILITY AND WHERE THIS APARTMENT LIES.
I MEAN, IT SITS WITHIN A HISTORIC DISTRICT AND WE REALLY HATE TO SEE PEOPLE HAVE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT CAUSES A NEGLECTFUL SITUATION THAT IS HARMFUL TO THE INTEGRITY OF A BUILDING.
YOU TALK ABOUT MAINTENANCE AND I THINK THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE TODAY.
WE TALK ABOUT TIMELINE AND PROCEDURE.
I'M THANKFUL THAT IT'S FINALLY COME BACK AND THAT THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL THE ORDERED REPAIRS.
AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY WHERE THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS COMING FROM.
THIS HAS DRAWN A LOT MORE ATTENTION FOR SEVERAL OTHER THINGS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF YOUR PURVIEW.
HOWEVER, WE'RE THANKFUL THAT AT LEAST THE FOUNDATION IS SET THAT THOSE STAIRS, YOU CAN GO DOWN THOSE STAIRS.
THAT WAS A BIG THING WHEN YOU HAVE A SECOND STORY APARTMENT, THE AGE OF THE STRUCTURE, INDIVIDUALS WHO IN AN EVENT THEY NEEDED TO EVACUATE OR EVEN SAFELY GET IN AND OUT, THAT'S AN ISSUE FOR THIS APARTMENT.
AND SO I JUST WOULD THANK Y'ALL FOR BRINGING IT BACK FOR A STAFF UPDATE BECAUSE HAD YOU NOT, WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER WE WOULD'VE LINGERED OUT THERE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
YOU KNOW, I MEAN I REALLY THINK THAT THAT REALLY KIND OF FORCED THIS LAST PIECE OVER THE, THE FINISH LINE.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT EFFORT IS TO CELEBRATE THAT IT IS ADHERING TO CODE AND THAT ALL THE OTHER ISSUES WILL HOPEFULLY BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS PROPERTY.
AND WE'RE JUST, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY AND UNLESS
[02:10:01]
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.WE APPRECIATE YOUR, CAN YOU, UH, BRING HER SO WE CAN, UH, KNOW YOU NOT ONLY BY, UH, THE STATE, IT'S THE WAY WE KNOW.
WHEN YOU WRITE A LETTER WHO, WHO IT IS YOU STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
I'M A, UH, OWNER OF 5 0 1 CLUB DRIVE IN MONTICELLO PARK.
AND I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE MONTICELLO PARK ASSOCIATION AND IT IS P O BOX 3 0 0 1 5 7 8 2 0 1.
NOW I'LL ASSOCIATE WITH THE LETTERS THAT COME IN.
ALRIGHT, MA'AM, YOU SAID SOMETHING I'D BE HAPPY TO SEE YOU JUST COME ON IN.
YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ANSWERING QUESTIONS IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS.
UM, MORE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.
UM, THE PROGRAMS THAT WE DO THAT THE CITY HAS MANY STEPS TO IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.
SO WHEN CODE GIVES A, A BRIEFING TO YOU AS 90%, THAT WASN'T DONE BACK IN THE DAY.
AND THEN WHEN IT GETS HERE, IT'S A FOLLOW UP.
THIS IS A RESULT WE TRY TO DO, BUT WHEN IT COMES HERE, WE TRY TO GET THINGS DONE FOR EVERYBODY.
UM, SOME COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS OR PERSONNEL IN THE COMMUNITIES THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE DONE LIKE THAT, BUT THERE'S A LONG PROCESS AND IT HAS TO BE DONE BY THAT PROCESS.
SO IF YOU DON'T THINK THEY'RE DOING THEIR WORK, I GUARANTEE YOU'RE DOING, THEY SEND OUT, COME MEET US AND ALL THIS, BUT IF THE PERSON'S NOT GONNA COME MEET THEM, THEN THE CITY HAS TO GO TO THE NEXT STEP.
SO IF IT SEEMS TO YOU THAT IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG OR IT TOOK TOO LONG, IT ACTUALLY DOESN'T BECAUSE IF YOU WERE IN THOSE SHOES, YOU WOULD WANT ALL OF THAT STEPS TO BE PUT IN PLACE.
THAT WAY EVERYBODY GETS DUE PROCESS.
SO WE HOPE THAT YOU DON'T GET ANGRY AT ANYBODY FOR THE PROCESS THAT'S BEING TAKEN.
ONCE CODE GETS IT, IT'S GOTTA GO THROUGH THE STEPS.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO WHEN IT COMES HERE, IT'S NOT A I WANNA DO THIS TOMORROW THING, IT'S, YOU'RE GONNA DO IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND WE IMPOSE FINES ON 'EM TO GET THEM TO INCENTIVIZE, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
WE JUST HOPE THE CITY WOULD'VE BEEN HONEST WITH US IN THEIR UPDATE THAT WE JUST RECEIVED A, A WEEK AGO.
AND SO JUST HEAR THAT THEY'VE BEEN IN COMPLIANCE SINCE APRIL.
THAT'S NOT THE REPORT I RECEIVED A WEEK AGO.
WELL, WHEN I SPOKE TO MR. RUSSELL, AND THAT'S, YOU KNOW, TO YOUR WHOLE POINT, WE'RE FOLLOWING THIS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SET A DEADLINE, YOU WANNA SEE SOMEBODY HIT THAT DEADLINE.
AND IF YOU DON'T, THEN YOU WANNA SEE THE NEXT STEP.
THAT'S, THAT'S WHY WE, AND, AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
BUT IT'S, IT'S NOT THAT IT'S GONNA BE A SLOW PROCESS.
I GUARANTEE YOU THERE'S GONNA BE, 'CAUSE THEY HAVE THE APPEAL PROCESS AND ALL THAT TOO.
BUT WE'RE DOING WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S IN COMPLIANCE.
WHAT HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF THERE BETWEEN THE TIME IT GETS BACK IN HERE.
SO WHEN IT GETS HERE, IT'S A SERIOUS ISSUE.
YOU'RE SUPPORTING YOUR INPUTS AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE OUT THERE FOR THERE FOR, BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA SEE EVERYTHING.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE RELY ON, BUT ONCE IT GETS INTO HERE, THEN WE'LL DEAL WITH IT IN THE WAY WE NEED TO DEAL WITH IT.
SO WE THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR SERVICES OUT IN THE COMMUNITY TO ASSIST US TO GET THE WORD OUT TO EVERYTHING OUT THERE TOO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN.
WE APPRECIATE OH, YOU HAVE, WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CRITIQUING US DOING OUR JOB.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER CASES? NO.
UH, WE HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS. NO.
BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
