THAT WAS THE FIRST LETTER THAT WE HAD EVER SEEN, SO WE WEREN'T AWARE OF ALL THE ISSUES, BUT WE NEED TIME TO GET MONEY 'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY EXTRA MONEY.
WE'RE BEHIND ON PROPERTY TAXES.
THE CITY'S GETTING READY TO TAKE OVER THE PROPERTY.
UM, BUT WE DO HAVE SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO BUY IT, SO WE'RE, THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A LOAN TO BUY IT SO THEY COULD FIX IT UP.

THIS, YES, THE OTHER DAY WHEN WE GOT OUR LETTER WAS THE FIRST TIME.

[00:15:01]
NOW, WELL, I I UNDERSTAND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.HOW LONG CAN I HAVE TO GET MONEY TOGETHER? WELL, WE'RE, LET ME GET THROUGH THESE QUESTIONS AND THEN WE'LL DISCUSS THAT IN THE BOARD.
ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION OR YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW'S ATTENTION? NO, SIR.

AND THE PERSON WITH THAT LIVING ESTATE DOESN'T LIVE THERE.
DOES MR. JEFFREY SMITH OR DAVID A. SMITH? NO.
SO IT'S A LIVING STATE WEST OF TANNER.
SINCE THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, YOU MAY BE SEATED.
CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
AND JUST AS A REMINDER, IT WILL TAKE TWO MOTIONS BECAUSE OF TWO DIFFERENT DATES FOR THE INSPECTIONS.
IS THERE NO MOTION BEFORE THIS BOARD? MR. CHAIR? THIS IS FRED ANIS.
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 8 2 7 SANTA MARITA SANTA MONICA.
SANTA MONICA WAS IN VIOLATION OF, OF SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY CODE SECTION FOR THE FIRST, UH, OF, UH, ON THE, ON THE DATE OF 9 15 22.
THE SECTIONS ARE 3 0 4 0.230 4.630 4.3 ARE STILL IN VIOLATION OF THE PROPERTY CODE.
I ORDER A 30 DAY REPAIR, AND I BELIEVE THIS PROPERTY TO BE UNSAFE AS IT IS, AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A VACATE ORDER AND THE PROPERTY SECURED.
COUNSEL, I'LL GO TO YOU AND ASK ABOUT THE VACATE ORDER.
THE VACATE ORDER IS DE DEPENDENT ON THE, THE CODE VIOLATIONS.
UM, IN LOOKING AT WHAT THEY WERE, I I, I, UM, AT FIRST GLANCE, I'M NOT SEEING THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE VACATE ORDER.
BUT IF, IF, IF, IF THE BOARD WANTS TO JUSTIFY THAT, THAT VACATE, THAT'S THE, YOU KNOW, THE, THE ORDER SHOULD WORK.
BUT I, I'M JUST NOT SEEING THE WELL COUNSEL, I CAN CLARIFY BASED ON ITEM R JPEG 38, THAT THERE'S RUSTY PIPES AND PLANTS GROWING WITHIN THE WALLS OF THE PROPERTY, AND THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT MAINTAINED ON THE EXTERIOR.
[00:20:01]
THE ROOF APPEARS TO HAVE LEAKS IN IT FROM THE VISIBLE OF JPEG 30.THE FOUNDATION SEEMS TO HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH IT.
I BELIEVE IT TO HAVE A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE.
UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. SENECA, YOU, UH, YES.
LET ME, FIRST OF ALL, UH, LET'S DO THE REPEAT OF THE MOTION.
THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1827 SANTA MONICA IS IN VIOLATION OF SAN ANTONIO PUBLIC CODES 3 0 4 0.230 4.630 4.13 AND 3 0 4 0.1.
UH, LET ME SEE IF I CAN HAVE A SECOND ON THAT MOTION FIRST, AND THEN WE'LL GO DISCUSS IT.
OKAY, THEN LET'S HAVE DISCUSSION, AND WE'LL START OFF WITH MCKAYLA.
UH, UH, JUST A CLARIFICATION FIRST, IF, DOES THE MOTION STILL INCLUDE THE NOTICE TO VACATE? UH, I'M SORRY.
AND THE MOTION DOES STILL INCLUDE VACATE, MR. SENECA COMMENT.
CAN, UH, UH, CAN WE ASK FOR A VACATE? EVEN THOUGH, UH, WE DIDN'T GO INSIDE THE HOUSE, THE CITY DIDN'T GO INSIDE THE HOUSE OR LOOK AT IT, MR. BURNS.
I, I, I COULD TELL YOU THE, THE, WHETHER THEY WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE, YOU COULD STILL ORDER A NOTICE TO VACATE IF THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF JUSTIFICATION.
BUT BASED ON, UM, PROTECTIVE TREATMENT, UM, BASED ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, THE BOARD HAD STATED, FOUNDATION IS NOT IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD TODAY.
UM, SO I, I I, I, I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPROPER FOR THIS BOARD TO USE THAT AS A JUSTIFICATION.
UM, I'M LOOKING AT PROTECTIVE TREATMENT, EXTERIOR WALLS, UH, THE ROOF AND DRAINAGE.
UM, SPECIFICALLY THEY'RE ASKING FOR THE, THE, THE RAIN GUTTERS TO BE REPAIRED OR REMOVED, OR, EXCUSE ME, REPAIRED OR REPLACED.
UM, I SO BOARD AT THIS TIME, BASED ON WHAT I AM SEEING, I'M NOT SEEING A JUSTIFICATION FOR A NOTICE TO VACATE.
I, I HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
THEN INSTEAD OF A NOTICE TO VACATE, CAN WE INCLUDE, UM, ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY? THEY NEED TO GO LOOK ON THE INSIDE.
THE QUESTION IS, DO WE WANNA REFER IT BACK TO THE CODE OFFICER TO ALSO DO INTERIOR INSPECTIONS? THAT'S TO YOU, MR. ANDIS.
RIGHT? UM, BACK TO MS. SIN AND GET ORDERED.
I PULLED THE MOTION AND I CAN RE SEND THE MOTION BACK.
THAT WHY WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THIS AFTER DISCUSSION.
IF YOU WANT TO PULL IT BACK IN THAT SECOND, WE, WE SHOULD BE GOOD.
THE I MOTION, IF THERE'S ANY, IF THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION, THEN I'LL MOTION TO PULL BACK THIS, UH, MOTION.
BUT I HAVE TO HAVE A SECOND FOR SOMEBODY TO DO THAT.
THEN I'LL REAPPLY ANOTHER MOTION.
THE, THE FIRST, THE MOTION THAT IS BEFORE THE BOARD IS TO WITHDRAW THE ORIGINAL MOTION.
UH, ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TO WITHDRAW THE INITIAL MOTION, SAY AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED TO WITHDRAWING, SAY AYE.
AND THEREFORE THERE IS NO MOTION BEFORE THE BOARD AT THIS TIME, CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
SECOND, UH, REVISED MOTION, UH, COUNSEL, DO I HAVE TO REREAD THE WHOLE MOTION IN? ALRIGHT.
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, UM, 1 8 2 7 SANTA MONICA.
SANTA MONICA IS IN VIOLATION OF THE PROPERTY CODE AS OF THE DATE IS 9 15 2 2.
AND IT IS STILL IN VIOLATION OF THE PROPERTY CODE.
AND I MOTION THAT WE SEND THIS BACK FOR A FULL HOUSE.
OUR, OUR FULL INSPECTION TO INCLUDE THE INTERIOR.
THE MOTION BEFORE THE BOARD IS TO THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1827 MON SANTA MONICA IS IN VIOLATION OF PUBLIC CODE OR MAINTENANCE CODES.
3 0 4 0.230 4.630 4.1 3, 3 0, 4 0.1.
AND THAT THE, UH, VIOLATION BE RETURNED TO THE CODE OFFICER FOR INSPECTION OF THE INTERIOR HOME.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND MS. BROWN.
[00:25:01]
BROWN, APOLOGIZE.UM, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, ARE WE SENDING THIS PROPERTY BACK AS A DP OR ARE WE SENDING THIS PROPERTY BACK? JUST TO TAKE A LOOK INSIDE, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AS A, UH, AS A VIOLATION OF SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE.
IS THAT CORRECT? FOR THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODES, BUT THERE'S MORE THERE THAN WHAT IS SEEN FROM THE EXTERIOR.
IF IT DE DETERMINED AS A DP, THEN IT SHOULD COME BACK AS A DP.
SO, UH, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BROUGHT THIS PROPERTY TO YOU AS A, AS WITH SS A P M C VIOLATIONS THAT THEY BELIEVED, UM, UH, NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.
UH, WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE IS THIS BOARD IS ASKING FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE REASSESSED AS A DP, WHICH THIS PROP, THIS BOARD HAS THAT ABILITY, IF YOU'RE ASKING IT TO BE, TO SEND BACK, TO TRY TO INCLUDE INTERNAL VIOLATIONS.
I, I, I, I, I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE NO, UM, PERMISSIBLE.
I DIDN'T WANNA STATE IT AS A DP PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S NOT DETERMINED AS THAT YET.
I WOULD LIKE, I DON'T THINK THIS QUALIFIES AS JUST BASIC MAINTENANCE ISSUES.
THERE'S MORE THERE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
IF IT COMES BACK AS A DP, I DIDN'T WANNA TELL 'EM TO GO LOOK AT IT AS A DP.
AND, AND I, I THINK THAT'S THE CLARIFICATION I'M TRYING TO MAKE.
THAT IS, THAT IS THE OPTION THAT YOU HAVE, RIGHT.
TO RESET IT AND BRING IT AND HAVE IT EVALUATED AS A DP.
AND IF THE BOARD, EXCUSE ME, IF THE, IF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DOES NOT BELIEVE IT'S A DP, THEY'RE NOT GONNA BRING IT BACK AS ONE, BUT TO SAY, HEY, I WANT TO RESET IT TO LOOK FOR MORE SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD BE A PERMISSIBLE ORDER.
IT WOULD HAVE TO BE EVALUATED AS A DP OR, AND GO, LET'S GO AHEAD AND ADDRESS THE OKAY, THEN I'LL ALLEGATIONS, I'LL AMEND AND ASK FOR IT TO BE LOOKED AT AS A DP.
I DIDN'T THINK I COULD LEGALLY DO IT, BUT YOU'RE SAYING I CAN THEN I I'M ASKING FOR A REASSESSMENT TO SEE IF THE PROPERTY IS A DP AND IF SO, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT AS SUCH.
AND JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR, I I WOULD NEED YOU, IF THE BOARD BELIEVES IT, IT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE FOR BOTH ORDERS.
SO WE DON'T, SO WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE BOTH ORDERS SEPARATE.
YOU, YOU, YOU WOULD, YOU WOULD NEED TO DO IT AS BOTH ORDERS.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA DO ON THE SECOND ONE, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD BRING IT UP AS A DP BECAUSE THAT WOULD KIND OF BE TELLING THEM WHAT TO NOW IT'S CLARIFIED.
THANK, WOULD YOU RESTATE YOUR AMENDED MOTION, PLEASE? THE AMENDED MOTION IS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEND THIS BACK FOR A REVIEW FOR A DP PROPERTY DANGEROUS PREMISE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT DP MEANS.
SO THE PROPERTY IS IN VIOLATION OF PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODES, BUT YOU'RE REQUESTING THAT THE CODE OFFICER LOOK AT IT AS A DANGEROUS PREMISES.
UH, THE MOTION IS NOW A RETURN TO CODE OFFICER TO LOOK AT AS A DANGEROUS PREMISES.
UH, DO I HAVE A SECOND ON THAT MOTION? SECOND.
MR. SENECA, THE MOTION'S BEEN MADE AND SECOND, YOU NOW HAVE A QUESTION.
UH, MS. HAY, YOU QUESTION IS TO THE CODE OFFICER? YES.
IS THERE A REASON WHY WE DIDN'T GO INSIDE THE HOUSE? THE VIOLATIONS THAT THE CODE OFFICER FOUND WERE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH ON THE EXTERIOR, UH, TO WARRANT HIM LEAVING THE VIOLATION NOTICES THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE, THERE WAS WATER, THERE WAS ELECTRICITY, AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT HE NEEDED TO GO INSIDE SINCE IT WAS OCCUPIED BY TENANTS.
I'M LOOKING AT, UM, THIS PICTURE NUMBER.
UH, I'M LOOKING AT, UH, NUMBER 37.
COULD YOU BRING THAT UP PLEASE?
WE DO WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, BUT THE MICROPHONE WASN'T ON.
UH, THIS, THIS PROPERTY IS, YOU KNOW, I I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT AS A DP BECAUSE OF, LOOK AT THE ELECTRICITY THAT'S RUNNING
[00:30:01]
ON THIS.ON, UH, NUMBER 37, THE HOLE IN THE PORCH WITH A CHAIR IN IT.
REALLY? UH, NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE, UM, OH, THIS ONE, THE FACADE IS FALLING APART OFF OF THE BUILDING.
IT'S CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND THEY PUT A, A, I GUESS IT'S LIKE AN ALUMINUM DOOR OR SOMETHING ON IT, AND IT'S BEING HELD TOGETHER.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEING HELD TOGETHER BY THIS WOULD, YEAH, THAT, THAT ONE THERE, UH, THIS IS NUMBER 38.
AND LOOK WHAT IT IS BEING HELD TOGETHER BY LOOKS LIKE COAXIAL OR A, OR, UH, SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL WIRE AND NOT, WELL, YOU KNOW, LIKE A, UM, LIKE A, AN EXTENSION CORD OR SOMETHING AND FACADE IS FALLING APART.
I I, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A HARD PROBLEM WITH JUST VIOLATIONS AS A, AS A, UH, SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE.
I DON'T, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.
LOOK AT THE, LOOK AT NUMBER, UH, 40.
YOU GOT ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS UP HERE.
'CAUSE YOU HAVE BOARDS MISS MISSING AND, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR ALL KINDS OF STUFF TO GET IN THERE.
MS. BROWN, I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS RATHER THAN MAKING A CONVERSATIONAL ISSUE.
SO ASK THE QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE.
THEN WE COME UP TO THE MOTION.
THIS IS A CONVERSATION BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S, WHY THE, UM, WHY THE CODE OFFICER DID NOT DO, I DON'T THINK HE DID A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THIS PROPERTY.
I, HEY, BUT WHAT DO I KNOW,
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS OF THE CODE? OFFICER
ARE THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON THIS CASE? THE MOTION IS AGAIN, TO RETURN IT TO THE CODE OFFICER, UH, AS A DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE OR DANGEROUS PREMISES.
UH, LET'S DO A ROLL CALL ON THIS MOTION.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF FOUR TO TWO COUNSEL.
THE MOTION WAS PREDICATED ON THREE VIOLATIONS.
WE DO NEED TO HAVE A SECOND MOTION ON THE OTHER TWO VIOLATIONS.
MR. ERS, I'LL TURN TO YOU IF YOU WOULD, SINCE YOU'VE MADE THE FIRST MOTION TO MAKE THE SECOND MOTION, PLEASE.
I'LL, YOU KNOW, GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION.
THIS IS FRED ANDIS MAKING THE MOTION FOR THE SECOND PART OF THIS CASE.

YEAH, THAT'S, YEAH, THAT'S NOT P V C.
THAT'S GALVANIZED C GALVANIZED.
IT'S, UM, IT ACTUALLY DOES, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP WHERE THE ELBOW IS, THERE'S A BLACK COATING THAT GOES RIGHT TO THE WATER PIPE.
THAT'S THE EXTERIOR WATER LINE THAT WAS PUT IN.
AND IT PROBABLY REPAIRED IT BECAUSE THAT INSULATION ON IT GOES TO THE PIPE WHERE THE HOSE IS.
SO THAT'S A WATER PIPE THAT WAS PROBABLY REPAIRED AND THEY NEVER PATCHED THE WALL.
AND ALL OF THIS EXPOSED, UM, ELECTRICAL WITH THE EXTENSION CORDS HANGING OUT OF IT, THE, THE SAME PICTURE, BUT TO THE LEFT BY ALMOST BY THE CAR OF THE TRUCK.
WE DON'T, WE DO NOT HAVE THE ELECTRICAL CASE.
UH, AGAIN, WE COULD ALWAYS GO BACK AND ASSESS THAT AS WELL AND BRING IT MS. BROWN THAT APPEARS TO ACTUALLY BE 75 OHM CABLE, UH, AS OPPOSED TO ELECTRICAL WIRING, GENERALLY SPEAKING, BECAUSE OF THE BLACK COLOR, IT WOULD MAKE ME ASSUME, AND THAT'S ALL IT IS AN ASSUMPTION THAT THAT'S 75 OHM CABLE.
UM, MS. FRED S UH, I LOOKED AT THE NOTES AND IT SAYS 0 5 0 9 2 0 2 3.
THE FIRST INDICATION OR NOTE WAS MADE LOCATIONS WITH DP OFFICER, I'M GONNA PROBABLY KILL HIS NAME OR HER NAME.
SO, UM, WE DO HAVE A, A DANGEROUS PREMISE CASE PENDING, UM, AS WELL AS THE S A P M C.
SO WE HAVE TWO CASES, UH, FOR THIS PROPERTY.
ONE IS THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CASES THAT IS BEING PRESENTED TODAY.
AND WE DO HAVE THE DANGEROUS STRUCTURE CASE THAT, UM, IS CURRENTLY PENDING.
WHY ARE WE DOING TWO CASES OPEN ON DP AND THEN ON REPAIRING THE PROPERTY? BECAUSE IT'S A HISTORIC PROPERTY? JEN, WE CANNOT HEAR THIS CASE UNTIL WE HAVE A BOARD.
SO WE'RE TAKING, WE'RE TAKING THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CASE TO THE BOARD FIRST.
UM, BUT WE ARE WORKING THE DANGEROUS PREMISE CASE ALONGSIDE WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS HISTORIC AND WITH IT BEING HISTORIC, UM, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S MORE STEPS.
THERE'S A FULL BOARD THAT NEEDS TO BE, UH, HERE WHEN IT DOES OR IF COMES TO,
[00:45:01]
UH, THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD AS A DP.BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE TAKING THAT AS A SS A P M C FOR THE VIOLATIONS THAT I READ INTO RECORD MR. CHAIR AND THE REST OF THE BOARD.
THERE ARE CERTAIN, UM, PREREQUISITES THAT NEED TO BE HIT BEFORE ANY TYPE OF HISTORIC PROPERTY BECOMES BEFORE THIS BOARD.
UM, SO PRIOR TO THAT, IT SOUNDS, WHAT IT SEEMS LIKE IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS, IS IS HITTING THOSE CHECKLISTS.
THERE HAS TO BE SOME, UM, CODE VIOLATIONS FILED AT MUNICIPAL COURT LEVEL.
UM, THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THERE'S A, A, A RECORD HISTORY BEFORE THEY TRY TO BRING A, UH, A HISTORIC PROPERTY UNDER, UM, DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE SLASH DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
SO, UM, THAT IS WHY THEY'RE, THEY'RE HANDLING IT THE WAY THAT THEY ARE.
WELL, I GO BACK TO THE SAME QUESTION.
WE RULE ON THIS CASE HERE FOR REPAIRS, BUT IT'S UNDER A ANOTHER CASE FOR DP.
IT IS NOT, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR, IT IS NOT UNDER ANY CASE THAT THIS BOARD, UM, NEEDS TO, UH, BE CONCERNED WITH IT IS A CRIMINAL CASE.
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TAKES PLENTY OF PROPERTIES IN DIFFERENT AVENUES.
ONE OF THE AVENUES THAT THEY HAVE IS THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOME SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THIS BOARD.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY HAVE, THEY ARE FREE TO FILE, UH, CODE CASES AT MUNICIPAL COURT IN REGARDS TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE STRUCTURE.
AND FOR THEM TO CONSIDER IT BRINGING IT IN FRONT OF A, UH, THIS BOARD AS A DANGEROUS PREMISE.
THEY FIRST WOULD HAVE TO FILE OTHER CASES IN REGARDS, UH, TO MEETING THOSE PREREQUISITES.
SO, UM, UH, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE, THIS BOARD CAN STAY FOCUSED ON THE, UM, UH, THE CASES THAT ARE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU AND, AND UNDER ON SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS? MS. BROWN? YOU HAD QUE I DO WHAT WHAT? GO TO MR. BROWN.
WHAT, UH, WHAT HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD DOES THIS HOUSE? IS THIS HOUSE IN A MISSION, UH, MISSIONS ON JOSE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD? I, I WOULD ASK THAT THE BOARD CONSIDER THE PROPERTY SPECIFIC AS IS PRESENTED TO US TODAY, RATHER THAN ANY EXTRANEOUS INFORMATION, UH, THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE PURVIEW OF THESE FOUR VIOLATIONS.
UH, SO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FOUR VIOLATIONS, THE PICTURES, AND TELL YOURSELF THIS IS A VIOLATION OF PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE OR NOT A VIOLATION OF PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER PER SE? THANK YOU.
UH, MR. HENRY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND MR. J HENRY.
UH, IS IT MRS. EXCUSE ME, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
MS. HENRY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE AGAIN, YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE PROPERTY.
UM, I'M PRESIDENT OF THE MISSION SAN JOSE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION.
I LIVE AT 5 22 EAST DIXON AVENUE, WHICH IS JUST A FEW BLOCKS SOUTH OF THERE OF THIS ADDRESS.
I, FIRST, I I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
UM, THIS PROPERTY LIES WITHIN THE M P O D, THE MISSION PROTECTION OVERLAY DISTRICT.
AND THAT IS, UM, AND THAT ONLY AFFECTS, THAT IS ONLY ABOUT HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS.
THIS TO MY, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THIS HOME AND THE HOUSES IN THIS AREA ARE NOT DESIGNATED, DO NOT HAVE, UM, UH, HISTORIC DESIGNATION OTHER THAN THAT.
OTHER THAN THAT, FOR THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION AS A RESULT OF THIS CASE, IT'S A VIOLATION OF, OR CONSIDERATION FOR VIOLATION OF PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODES.
AND WE'LL TAKE YOUR COMMENT INTO CONSIDERATION.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC ABOUT THE VIOLATIONS OF THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE PER SE? WELL, FIRST, LET ME CLARIFY.
IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS HOUSE BECAUSE IT'S, UH, A HISTORIC STRUCTURE.
THE ISSUE WAS THAT THIS PROPERTY IS IN VIOLATION OF FOUR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODES.
AND THIS BOARD IS TO CONSIDER WHETHER THIS PROPERTY IS OR IS NOT IN VIOLATION OF THOSE FOUR CODES.
THEN CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT? I'M SORRY.
THIS IS LEGAL, THIS DISCUSSION.
I DO WANNA MAKE IT SURE WE'RE CLEAR.
MS. HENRY AND I THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
IT IS IMPROPER FOR YOU TO POSE QUESTIONS TO THIS BOARD.
[00:50:01]
IS NOT GOING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.THIS BOARD IS THE ONE THAT RECEIVES THE INFORMATION IS GOING TO MAKE A DETERMINATION, BUT WE DEFINITELY WANT TO HEAR, AND THE BOARD WANTS TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IN REGARDS TO THE SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE VIOLATIONS, UH, THAT, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS BROUGHT AGAINST THIS PROPERTY.
UM, THESE CONDITIONS WHICH ARE DEPLORABLE, UNIMAGINABLE, UM, DID NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
SO THAT'S ONE OF MY, UH, COMPLAINTS IS THAT THE CITY, THERE'S BEEN NO ENTITY THAT COULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM OF THE DETERIORATION OF THE HOUSE.
IT'S SEVERE, UM, AND THERE ARE PEOPLE LIVING INSIDE.
AND IT JUST, I'M SURPRISED THAT NO, UH, INTERIOR PHOTOS WERE, UM, PRESENTED TODAY.
UM, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS LIVING IN THAT STRUCTURE.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING NEAR THE STRUCTURE, UH, WITH WATER THAT'S BEEN POURING IN, YOU KNOW, DURING THESE TERRIBLE STORMS ON SUNDAY AND TUESDAY THAT WE HAD THROUGH THE WINDOWS, THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW, IN THE FRONT, THROUGH THE ROOF, THROUGH THE OPENINGS IN, IN THE EXTERIOR.
UM, UH, THE NEIGHBORS ARE ALL VERY CONCERNED.
UH, AND I, I WOULD ALSO SAY, LIKE TO SAY THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UM, AND, AND THE WATER SYSTEM ACTUALLY, UM, ENTERS, UH, THROUGH THE EXTERIOR WALLS, UP THROUGH THE CEILING AND THEN DOWN THE WALLS BECAUSE IT HAS A CONCRETE SLAB.
SO ALL OF THOSE HOMES ARE BUILT LIKE THAT WHERE THE WATER AND THE, UM, AND THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY GOES THROUGH THE, THE CEILING BETWEEN THE ROOF AND CEILING AND DOWN THE WALLS.
SO THAT'S A LITTLE CONCERNING THAT THOSE THINGS ARE EXPOSED TO HAIL AND RAIN, UM, DEBRIS, EVERYTHING ELSE.
OH, AND ABOUT THE PENALTIES OF A THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY, UM, THAT WOULD ONLY ADD TO THE TAX LIEN AGAINST THE HOUSE ALREADY.
AND BECAUSE OF THE TAX LIEN OF OVER $36,000, UH, THAT, UH, THE OWNER CANNOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY CITY, UH, REHAB PROGRAMS. AND I DON'T, AND IT WOULD MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO GET A, A LOAN TO REPAIR THE PROPERTY AND HAS MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE PROPERTY, EXCEPT I HAVE TO SAY THE OVERHANG OVER THE FRONT, UH, DOOR IS GONE, BUT IT PROBABLY, IT WAS HANGING SO BADLY IT WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN MUCH FOR IT TO COME DOWN.
UM, THIS, THIS PROPERTY IS IN VERY, VERY SERIOUS CONDITION.
AND SO ARE THE, UH, RESIDENTS, THE OWNER AND HIS GUESTS OR ROOMMATES? THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
DOES THIS BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MS. HENRY, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE YES, THE BOARD MAY HAVE QUESTIONS.
MR. SENECA
THAT'S WHERE YOU GOT YOUR INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT, ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE SPEAKING ABOUT AT THE WATER, YOU KNOW, COMING IN, ET CETERA.
OH, WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT, IT GOES AFTER IT GOES INTO THE, INTO THE ROOF, BUT ON AND ON THE CARPORT ROOF.
IT'S CLEAR, YOU KNOW, THAT THE CARPORT ROOF HAS COLLAPSED INSIDE AND IT JUST, THANK YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU HAD KNOWLEDGE, UH, BUT, UH, THANK YOU.
DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? MS. HENRY? THANK YOU, MA'AM.
CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON, UH, CHAIR.
I DO HAVE A PUBLIC COMMENT TO READ INTO THE RECORD.
PLEASE READ THOSE IN THE RECORD.
THIS PUBLIC COMMENT WAS RECEIVED YESTERDAY, JUNE 7TH AT 4:05 PM UH, GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY NEIGHBORS AND I ARE VERY CONCERNED WITH ALL THE RAIN THAT HAS BEEN POURING IN THROUGH THE ROOF WALLS AND OPEN PAINLESS WINDOWS OF THE HOUSE.
THAT IS POSES A RISK OF ELECTRICAL FIRE.
THIS ENDANGERS NOT ONLY THE OCCUPANTS, BUT THE FAMILY AND HOMES ON EITHER SIDE OF IT.
CAN THIS HOUSE BE INSPECTED BY A FIRE MARSHAL? CAN ELECTRICAL SERVICE BE TURNED OFF UNTIL ALL VIOLATIONS ARE ABATED? YOURS TRULY ANONYMOUS.
WAS THAT THE ONLY RECORD ON THE ITEM? YES.
BEFORE WE GO TO A MOTION, I'D LIKE TO CALL BACK UP, UH, CO COMPLIANCE OFFICER.
[00:55:03]
YES, SIR.WHEN WERE THESE RECORDS UPDATED? THE RECORDS HERE TODAY, EVERYTHING IN HERE, THE CASE WE STARTED MAY 9TH, BUT WE'VE HAD THIS, WHAT IS THE I AND I'M, I'M, I'M LOST BECAUSE IN THE NOTES WHERE IT SAYS HISTORIC PROPERTY, NO HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IF APPLICABLE, AND IT SAYS NOT APPLICABLE.
SO HOW DID WE GET TO A HISTORIC DISTRICT? IT IS NOT, LET ME, LET ME INTERRUPT YOU FOR JUST A MOMENT.
THIS BOARD IS, HAS THREE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE ISSUES TO CONSIDER.
IT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO CONSIDER AS FAR AS HISTORICAL MAINTENANCE IS CONCERNED.
WE HAVE THREE ITEMS, EXCUSE ME, FOUR ITEMS BEFORE OF IT'S 3 0 4 0.6 EXTERIOR WALLS, 3 0 4 0.7 ROOF AND DRAINAGE, 3 0 4 0.9 OVERHANG AND 3 0 4 0.3 0.1 GLAZING.
SO LET'S CONSIDER THOSE THREE ISSUES.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT, AND NOTHING EXTERIOR TO THAT.
BUT IN THE NOTES, WHICH MY ORIGINAL QUESTION WAS ON FIVE NINE, WHEN THEY OPENED THE CASE, A DP OFFICER WAS AT THE PREMISES AND I ASKED WHY.
THAT'S WHAT IT ALL COMES BACK TO, AND THAT WAS ANSWERED.
THEREFORE, WE ONLY HAVE FOUR CASES TO CONSIDER.
I MEAN, FOUR ISSUES TO CONSIDER.
AND WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THOSE FOUR ISSUES ONLY, PLEASE.
THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 22 OUT OF ADELPHIA AVENUE WAS IN VIOLATION OF SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE 3 0 4 0.630 4.730 4.930 4.1, 3.1 ON MAY 9TH, 2023 AND IS AND REMAINS IN VIOLATION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND, MR. SENECA? SECOND.

LOOKS LIKE FIVE TO ONE, ISN'T IT? NO.

UM, AS I WAS STEPPING IN THE SS A P D OFFICERS, WHEN WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE STRUCTURE, THE FLOOR WAS SOFT AND SPONGY, WHERE IF YOU HIT A CERTAIN PART, YOU COULD PROBABLY, YOU CAN GO INTO THE FLOOR.
SO THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE, UH, JUST THE ROOF, THE GOING TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE STRUCTURE.

PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 2 0 1 SOUTH SAN GABRIEL.
ARE THE CO QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER.
AND THAT THE OWNER WOULD ALSO LIKE DEMOLITION? YES.
THE OWNER, UM, PRO, UH, UH, WHEN I TALKED TO, UH, MR. MATA, HE SAID THAT, UH, HE'S GONNA DEMO THE STRUCTURE.
UM, SO I'LL, I'LL LET HIM EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU MORE ON THE, UH, THE TIMELINE THAT HE'S GONNA PROVIDE.
UM, UH, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
CAN WE, SINCE WE HAVEN'T, UH, RECEIVED, YOU KNOW, THE SCOPE OF WORK FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES, CAN WE GO AHEAD AND RESET THIS CASE FOR, UH, THE NEXT MEETING? THE FACT THAT THE CODE OFFICER IS RECOMMENDING DEMOLITION AND THE OWNER IS, IS REPORTEDLY IN FAVOR OF DEMOLITION.
I THINK WE CAN PROCEED SINCE WE'RE BASICALLY GOING TO EITHER COMPLY OR NOT COMPLY WITH THE CODE OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION.
UH, LET'S HEAR FROM THE OWNER BEFORE WE MAKE ANY DECISIONS ON THAT.
MR. CHAIR FOR CLARIFICATION, WE HAVE RECEIVED THE SCOPE OF WORK, THE PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS, UM, AND THE WARRANTY DEED AND ACTUALLY THE SCOPE OF WORK DETAILS, A DEMOLITION.
UM, IF, IF BOARD WON'T MIND, I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER.
UH, MR. ENTENTES, WAS THERE, UM, ANY WATER, UM, AT THE PROPERTY? NO, SIR.
AND WAS THERE ANY ELECTRICITY AT THE PROPERTY? NO, SIR.
THERE WAS NO WATER, UH, ELECTRICITY CONNECTIONS.
SO JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR ON THE MISCELLANEOUS, ON ON THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, UH, DOCUMENTATION, I AM GOING TO INDICATE THAT THERE WERE NO ELECTRICAL SERVICES OR WATER SERVICES.
UH, IS, DID IT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT GAS? JUST TO MAKE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD IS CLEAR, UM, THE DOCUMENTATION I'M TALKING ABOUT, IF YOU LOOK AT, UM, I BELIEVE, UH, THE FIRST DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, FIELD SERVICES DIVISION, UM, DOCUMENT FORM, UM, IF YOU LOOK UNDER MISCELLANEOUS, NO, THERE ISN'T A, NOT ON THE FORM THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT UP THERE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS DOCUMENTATION IN THE, IN THE BINDER THAT YOU WERE GIVEN.
THERE IS NO INDICATION AS TO A GAS LEAK.
IS GAS DISCONNECTED? IT IS SOLELY.
WAS THERE A GAS LEAK OR NOT? OKAY.
THEN MY QUESTION WOULD BE, BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE FORGOTTEN EVERY TIME WE DO UTILITIES.
[01:10:01]
ELECTRICITY AND THE, THE WATER.I DIDN'T, WHEN I WAS WALKING AROUND, I DIDN'T NOTICE A METER.
THAT, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT AS WELL.
THE GENERAL WARRANTY DEED IS SIGNED BY THE GRANTOR, THE PERSON WHO GIVES THE WARRANTY DEEDED.
AND IT'S ALSO RECORDED IN REGARDS TO THE DOCUMENTS THAT I WAS LOOKING AT.
I HAVE A SIGNATURE BY THE GRANTOR.
I HAVE IT NOTARIZED, AND I ALSO HAVE THAT IT HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE BEXAR COUNTY COURT.
UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, IT'S THE DOCUMENT BEFORE THIS.
I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER DOCUMENT BEFORE THAT.
IT'S THE ONE THAT'S ON SCREEN RIGHT NOW.
SCOPE OF WORK, THE SCOPE, IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SCOPE OF WORK NOT BEING SIGNED, UH, I MEAN EVEN AT THE END IT SAYS ACCEPTED BY LIKE, TO, TO BE FAIR BOARD, UH, IT'S A SCOPE OF WORK FOR A DEMOLITION.
THE, UM, UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS RECOMMENDING A DEMOLITION.
YOU HAVE THE OWNER HERE, YOU CAN ASK HIM IF THAT'S WHAT HIS INTENT IS.
UM, BUT BASED ON WHAT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WAS STATING THEIR RECOMMENDATION AND THE, UM, UH, THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY THE OWNER, UH, OR, OR SOON TO BE OWNER OF A DEMOLITION, I, I DON'T SEE IT AS A PROBLEM IN REGARDS TO THIS BOARD TAKING IT UNDER CONSIDERATION, BUT YOU COULD DEFINITELY, AND I WOULD URGE THE BOARD TO, TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS TO THE, UM, PROSPECTIVE NEW OWNER IN REGARDS TO THAT.
ARE WE READY TO PROCEED TO THE OWNER? YEAH.
AND, AND I, I THINK THE OWNER IS MR. MARTA, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
AND I APOLOGIZE IF I MIS MISPRONOUNCED YOUR NAME.
I COULDN'T EVEN READ YOUR NAME.
UH, LUIS MATA 2 0 1 SAN GABRIEL, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
UH, BUT THE PROPERTY, I GONNA DEMO THE PROPERTY.
I USUALLY REMODEL MY PROPERTIES, BUT THIS CASE, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE MORE EXPENSIVE TO, TO RESCUE THIS PROPERTY.
SO I PRESENTED THE SCOOP OF WORK.
I DIDN'T SIGN IT BECAUSE I, I REQUESTED MORE THAN ONE ESTIMATE.
IT WAS IN THE PAPERWORK WHEN I, UH, WHAT SUMMIT TO THE HEARING SAYS TO PROVIDE A SCOOP OF WORK, WHICH I DID.
IT DIDN'T REQUIRE IT TO BE SIGNED.
I DIDN'T WANNA SIGN IT UNTIL I GET THE OTHER TWO, UH, SCOOP OF WORKS FROM OTHER CONTRACTORS.
AND I'LL CHOOSE THE ONE THAT IS MORE, UH, BETTER FOR ME.
IF, IF I CAN GET IT DONE, UH, PROFESSIONALLY FOR AT LEAST PRICE, WELL, I'LL DO THAT.
BUT TO COMPLY WITH THIS HEARING, I PRESENTED THE SCOPE OF WORK.
AS YOU SEE, I HAVE HEALTHY FINANCIALS.
I AM A ACTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE, IN THE, IN THIS KIND OF, UH, SCENARIOS.
ALL THESE HOUSES THAT HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES.
THAT'S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING.
I USED TO TAKE 'EM OVER, UH, GET 'EM FIXED AND REPAIRED AND PUT A NICE FAMILY INTO THESE PROPERTIES.
SO I'M, I THINK IT'S PRETTY EASY.
UH, THEY WANTED TO DEMO THE PROPERTY.
I WANT TO DEMO THE PROPERTY AND I HAVE THE MEANS AND WAYS TO GET IT DONE AND I PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTATION.
HAVE YOU APPLIED FOR YOUR PERMIT YET? FOR DEMOLITION? NOT YET UNTIL I, PART OF THE SCOPE OF WORK IS THAT THEY WILL APPLY FOR THE, FOR THE PERMISSION, UH, ONCE I, I PICK THE CONTRACTOR THAT IS GOING TO TAKE DO THE WORK.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YOU, MR. MAZA? I HAVE A CLARIFICATION.
YOU STATED ON THE OPENING WHEN YOU GAVE YOUR NAME, YOU GAVE THE ADDRESS OF THIS PROPERTY? YES, SIR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

IT IS CLOSE TO THE NEIGHBORING FENCE LINE.
THIS IS THE INTERIOR OF THE ROOF SYSTEM.
THE ONLY THING THAT IS REMAINING IS THE RAFTERS.
THERE IS NO DECKING OR ROOF COVERING.
THIS IS THE, UH, LEFT PORTION OF THE INTERIOR AGAIN.
UM, THE DECKING ROOF COVERING IS MISSING ON THIS PORTION, THE RAFTERS AS WELL IN SOME AREAS.
THIS IS THE FLOOR ON THE INTERIOR.
THE FLOOR JOISTS HAVE COMPLETELY ROTTED AND IT IS SITTING NON GRADE AT THIS POINT.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE LEFT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE FLOOR JOISTS HAVE ROTTED AND THE FOUND THE STRUCTURE IS SITTING NON GRADE 1 3 1.
BRISTOL CONSISTS OF A SINGLE STORY ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WITH POST AND BEAM FOUNDATION, PLYWOOD, EXTERIOR WALLS, AND FLAT ROOF SYSTEM.
THE FOUNDATION IS SITTING ON CEMENT BLOCKS AND THE SIDING IS WARPED.
THE ROOF SYSTEM IS MISSING THE DECKING AND ROOF COVER.
THE INTERIOR FLOOR IS ROTTED AND MISSING IN AREAS AS OF TODAY.
SPEAKING WITH MR. SPX, THE TRINIDAD MORTGAGE COMPANY IS IN AGREEMENT WITH DEMOLITION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
TO RECAP THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1 3 1 BRISTOL IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, AND 15, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HERE AND AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1 3 1 BRISTOL.
DOES BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THE CODE OFFICER? YEAH, THIS IS FRED.
UM, WAS THIS PROACTIVE OR REACTIVE? UM, THE CASE WAS PROACTIVE.
I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE AREA CODE OFFICER THAT THERE WAS A DILAPIDATED ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ON THE REAR PROPERTY.
AND ON ONE 14 IT'S A PRETTY GOOD DISTANCE FROM THAT BUILDING.
IS THAT FROM A FENCE WHEN YOU WERE APPROACHING IT? OR ARE YOU ASKING WHERE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS LOCATED? WELL, IN THE PROPERTY IT'S ON A FENCE LINE.
IT'S THE REAR, IT'S THE REAR FENCE.
SO THE PROPERTY IS BACKING UP TO ANOTHER PROPERTY AND IT, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS LOCATED ON THE REAR LEFT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AND IN THE CORNER.
AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROPERTY OTHER THAN THIS? THE ONLY COMPLAINTS WE'VE HAD ABOUT THE PROPERTY ARE THE OVERGROWN VEGETATION, UM, WHICH WE'VE ABATED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST, UH, EIGHT MONTHS.
AND THAT'S THE WHOLE PROPERTY? THE WHOLE PROPERTY, YES.
BUT NO COMPLAINT ACTUALLY CAME IN FOR THE STRUCTURE.
I PICKED THAT UP BECAUSE THE AREA CODE OFFICER NOTIFIED ME OF IT LOCATED ON THE PROPERTY.
IF THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN ABATED, WHY WASN'T THIS ADDRESSED AT THAT TIME? BECAUSE THIS IS A STRUCTURE AND OUR CITY CONTRACTORS ONLY HANDLE CUTTING, UM, THE GRASS AND PICKING UP TRASH AND DEBRIS.
THEY DO NOT DO DEMOLITION WELL.
THERE'S DEBRIS SITTING IN FRONT OF THE TIRES.
THEY DON'T CONSIDER TO BE DEBRIS.
SO AT THE TIME OF THE ABATEMENT, THEY DID NOT PICK UP THE TIRE.
HOW MANY ABATEMENTS WERE DONE? WE'VE DONE TWO WITHIN THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS.
SO THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD ACTUAL COMPLAINT OF THE PROPERTY? YES.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE CALLED OFFICER MS. BROWN.
SO IF THIS IS IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY, HOW, HOW DOES THE, IS THE PROPERTY VACANT? THE, THE REAL PROPERTY, THE HOUSE? YES.
THE, THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS VACANT.
UM, THE MAIN STRUCTURE DID NOT MEET REQUIREMENTS FOR A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE, JUST THE ACCESSORY.
IT DIDN'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR WHAT, IT DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
THAT'S WHY THAT'S BEING PRESENTED TODAY.
MR. SPINS, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
[01:25:01]
YOUR HOME ADDRESS PLEASE.MY HOME ADDRESS IS ONE 1-838-PARLIAMENT STREET.
AND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR CASE.
YEAH, SO BASICALLY THIS, UM, WE WERE, I DIDN'T SPEAK TO THE OFFICER BEFORE THE, UH, BEFORE THE HEARING AND WE ARE IN, IN AGREES THAT THE, THAT THE STRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE DEMOLISHED.
UM, I DID PROVIDE FINANCIALS AND I DID PROVIDE A SCOPE OF WORK, BUT THAT WAS FOR THE MAIN HOUSE.
IT WASN'T FOR THE BACK HOUSEHOLD.
IT WE DO PLAN ON, UH, ON DEMOLISHING THAT.
UM, WE DID HAVE, UM, WE RECENTLY JUST HAD THE HOUSE CLEANED OUT.
WE HAD A DUMPSTER OUT, UM, ONE OF THOSE BIG DUMPSTERS WHEN WE CLEANED THE WHOLE HOUSE OUT.
SO WE ARE DOING WORK TO THE HOUSE.
WE JUST NEED TO GET THAT STRUCTURE DEMOLISHED.
AND HAVE YOU APPLIED FOR THE PERMIT FORM OF DEMOTION YET? UM, I SPOKE TO THE OFFICER BEFORE, MEAN, LIKE I SAID, AND SHE SAID IT'S, UM, IT MIGHT BE UNDER 300 SQUARE FEET, SO IT MIGHT NOT REQUIRE A PERMIT.
SO WE COULD JUST, WE COULD JUST DEMOLISH IT.
THAT'S, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT, BUT YOU DO AGREE WITH THE DEMOLITION OF IT? YES SIR, WE DO.
ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. SPANK FROM BOARD? UH, YEAH.
ARE YOU GONNA DEMO IT? UH, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE CONTRACTORS DEMO IT WHEN AND NOT ME.
UH, NOT MR. I'M JUST SAYING YOU'RE GONNA YEAH, YEAH.
WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA TAKE THE STRUCTURE DOWN.
THAT WAS, THIS WAS THE OWNER FINANCE PROPERTY BEFORE WE ACTUALLY, WE REGAINED POSSESSION.
SO, SO THE OWNERS AT THE TIME, THEY DID THAT STRUCTURE THERE, OBVIOUSLY OWNER FINANCE.
SO WE CAN'T DO ANY INSPECTIONS ON IT.
SO ONCE WE TOOK IT BACK, WE, WE NOTICED THAT THAT STRUCTURE WAS THERE.
UM, IT TOOK US A WHILE TO ACTUALLY GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO, TO GET THE, THE WORK DONE IN THE HOUSE.
BUT WE DO PLAN ON GETTING THAT STRUCTURE TAKEN CARE OF NOW.
IF YOU WOULD GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED.
MR SPINS, YOU ARE THE REPRESENTATIVE OF WHO OF UH, TRINIDAD MORTGAGE SERVICING? UM, WE'RE THE MORTGAGE SERVICING COMPANY FOR 1 31, UM, UH, BRISTOL LAND TRUST.
SO YOU ARE THE REPRESENTATIVE OF 1 31 BRISTOL LAND TRUST? YES, SIR.
OKAY, THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING.
EVER ENTERTAIN A MOTION? I HAVE A MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 3 1 BRISTOL IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE PREPARED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6, UM, SUBSECTIONS, UH, 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, AND 15.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY BE DEMOLITION OR, OR DEMO, UH, AH, I'M GETTING TONGUE TIED HERE.
DEMOLISH, UM, 30 DAYS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF THIS ORDER.
A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO YOUR MOTION.
AND THAT IS THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ON THAT PROPERTY IS TO BE CONSIDERED NOT THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1 31 BRISTOL AVENUE, EXCUSE ME, BRISTOL, UH, IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND IS NOT FEASIBLE BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, AND 15.
AND THAT THE PROPERTY BE DEMOL, EXCUSE ME, NOT PROPERTY, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BE DEMOLISHED IN 30 DAYS.
UH, DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION IF NO DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.
WE'LL MOVE TO ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES.
ARE THERE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION AT THIS TIME? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
ARE WE GONNA GET ANOTHER UPDATE ON A OTHER PROPERTY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMING BEFORE US? I THINK THERE WERE SEVERAL OF THEM.
THIS IS JUDY KRUM, BASICALLY LIAISON.
THERE WERE NO ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES FOR PANEL B FOR ANY STAFF UPDATES.
THOSE WERE, UM, UPDATES WERE TO BE GIVEN TO THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR, NOT TO THE PANEL.
BUT WE WILL HAVE A PROGRESS REPORT OR NO, THE PROGRESS REPORTS WERE ONLY TO THE SUPERVISOR, NOT TO THE PANEL DIRECTLY PER THE B S B ORDERS.
WELL, I THOUGHT WE ORDERED ALL OF 'EM TO BE IN FRONT OF THE BOARD.
WE DID, WE ORDERED, WE ORDERED, UH, I THINK IT WAS 30 DAY, UM, THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE OF THEM.
UH, WE ORDERED, UH, 30 DAY, UM, REVIEWS ON THE PROPERTIES.
YOU KNOW, I I, LIKE I SAID BEFORE IN OUR MAIN MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, YOU KNOW, I ASKED FOR THAT AGAIN
[01:30:01]
AND, UH, Y'ALL GONNA HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT.'CAUSE WE, WE NEED TO KNOW THE UPDATE JUST TO NOTE, UH, FOR THAT.
AND THAT IS THAT PANEL A IS THE ONE THAT ORDERED THAT AND THEREFORE I ASSUME THAT THAT WOULD BE BROUGHT FORTH TO PANEL A, NOT PANEL B.
IS THAT A BAD ASSUMPTION? THEY WERE DONE BROUGHT TO PANEL B AS WELL.
AND WE HAD OUR, UH, OUR BIANNUAL MEETING TWO, TWO WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS REINSTATED THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE PROGRESS REPORTS SO THAT WE'LL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE FIELD PORT.
I I DO KNOW THAT THERE WERE SOME PROPERTIES THAT THIS, THIS BOARD WANTED STATUS UPDATES ON.
UM, THERE WERE OTHER PROPERTIES AND IT, IT, IT MIGHT BE MY FAULT 'CAUSE I, UM, I DON'T RECALL IF IT WAS PANEL A OR PANEL B, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT UH, ANY BOARD ORDER THAT THAT WE HAVE THAT ASKS FOR STATUS REPORTS.
THOSE STATUS REPORTS, UNLESS THIS BOARD IS SPECIFIC, THOSE STATUS REPORTS GO BACK TO THE CODE OFFICIAL.
NOW THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU GUYS HAVE AN NATIONAL STATUS REPORTS THAT NEED TO COME BACK TO YOU, BUT I COULD TELL YOU, NOT ONLY IS IT MYSELF, BUT JUDY, JUDY AND I BOTH NOT ONLY REVIEW THE ORDERS, UH, BUT SHE ALSO LISTENS TO, UM, UH, THE RECORDING.
I, I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE, ARE A FEW.
AND I, I, I'D LIKE TO GET WITH JUDY 'CAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT HER 'CAUSE I, I, I DO RECALL MAYBE ONE OR TWO THAT YOU GUYS ASKED FOR, FOR, FOR REPORTS OR, OR UPDATES FOR THIS BOARD.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU, UNLESS YOU'RE, UNLESS YOU SPECIFY YOU WANT THEM COMING BACK IN FRONT OF THIS IN, IN FRONT OF THIS, THIS BODY STATUS REPORTS GO SOLELY TO THE CODE OFF OFFICIALS.
NOW THAT DOES NOT, AGAIN, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU GUYS DID NOT ASK FOR SOME, UM, AND AS YOU WERE ASKING, I'M SITTING HERE TRYING TO OPEN UP SOME OF MY ORDERS THAT I HAVE, THAT I HAVE DRAFTED TO LOOK AT THEM.
I, I, UH, I I WANNA SAY MAYBE I, AND I'D HAVE TO LOOK JUDY, YOU'D HAVE TO SHOW, UM, MAYBE, UM, WINSTON SQUARE I THINK WAS YOU GUYS ASKED THAT PROPERTY TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO YOU FOR ANY UPDATES BY THOSE, UM, MANAGERS OR TO THOSE OWNERS.
BUT IT WASN'T EVERY SINGLE, UM, APARTMENT COMPLEX OR MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING WHERE THIS BOARD ASKED FOR STATUS UPDATES.
WHERE DID THE ORDERS STATE THAT THEY NEEDED TO COME BACK TO YOU? THOSE STATUS UPDATES USUALLY, UH, GO TO, UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICE PERSONNEL.
AND THAT IS BECAUSE IT IS HARDER TO GET PROPERTIES BACK ONTO THE SCHEDULE AND BACK IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD SOLELY FOR UPDATES.
NOW AGAIN, IF YOU GIVE ME A COUPLE MINUTES, I'LL LOOK TO SEE IF THE, THE FEW THAT I WAS THINKING OF, UM, REQUIRE THAT THOSE, UM, THOSE STATUS REPORTS COME BACK TO YOU.
YOU KNOW, I, UM, I HAVE TO SAY THIS, WHEN WE ASKED FOR 30 DAY REPORTS OR 30 DAY UPDATES, ESPECIALLY ON THESE, THOSE APARTMENTS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING, WE WANT 'EM TO COME BACK TO US.
AND I, I DIDN'T THINK THAT WE HAD TO SPECIFY THAT.
I MEAN, YOU ALL ARE OUT IN THE FIELD ALL THE TIME, SO YOU DON'T REALLY NEED TO HAVE A A 30 DAY UPDATE.
SO WE, WHEN WE ISSUE A 30 DAY UPDATE, IT KIND OF, I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS WE TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT IT WAS COMING BACK TO US TO LET US KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE, THE, UH, THE OWNERS ARE COMPLIANT.
UH, I I CAN TELL YOU THE STANDARDS REPORTS, IF, IF, UM, TO BE FAIR, TO FIND, TO DETERMINE IF THEY'RE COMPLIANT OR NOT, WOULD HAVE TO BE BY CODE.
CODE DETERMINES IF THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE BASED ON WHAT THE ORDER IS, IS, UH, THE ORDER STATES.
NOW IF THIS BOARD, AND, AND MAYBE IT'S IT'S, IT'S MY FAULT IN REGARDS TO LEGAL, BUT IF THIS BOARD IS SPECIFICALLY STATING WHEN THEY WANT STATUS UPDATES, THAT THEY WANT THOSE STATUS UPDATES TO COME DIRECTLY TO THIS BOARD, UH, THEN I, I THINK WE NEED TO CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE STATUS REPORTS IT, IT, IT'S A, IT'S SOMETHING I I, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, THOSE STATUS REPORTS, UNLESS THIS BOARD SPECIFIES THE STATUS REPORTS GO TO, UH, THE CODE OFFICIALS BECAUSE THEY CAN DETERMINE WHETHER THE PROPERTY IS IN COMPLIANCE AND WHETHER IT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD.
IF WE GIVE STATUS REPORTS TO YOU, THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS LISTEN, YOU CAN'T MAKE ANY DETERMINATION BASED ON ANY STATUS REPORTS THAT ARE GIVEN TO YOU UNLESS THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT BACK BY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, WHICH IS WHY STATUS REPORTS ARE DONE TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
SO THE DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER THEY ARE, UM, UH, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE BOARD'S ORDER, UM, AND NEED TO COME BACK IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD FOR ANOTHER HEARING.
WE, WE DON'T WANT IT TO COME BACK FOR ANOTHER HEARING.
WE JUST WANNA KNOW, ARE OUR ORDERS, UH, EFFECTIVE IN THE FIELD, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THESE PEOPLE ARE COMPLIANT OR NOT.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE NOT IN COMPLIANCE, YOU KNOW, THEN WE NEED TO TAKE SOME OTHER ACTION.
AND IF THEY ARE IN COMPLIANT, WE JUST WANNA KNOW.
AND I, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT EFFECTIVE,
[01:35:01]
I UNDERSTAND THAT BOARD.I DO WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE GIVE STATUS REPORTS, YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE ANY ACTION.
THE ONLY TIME THIS BOARD GETS TO TAKE ACTION IS IF THE PROPERTY'S BROUGHT IN FRONT OF YOU AND STATUS REPORTS DOES NOT BRING IN A PROPERTY BACK IN FRONT OF YOU.
YEAH, THEY, LET'S FOR INSTANCE, LET'S SAY 1, 2, 3 APPLE STREET COMES BACK IN FRONT OF YOU AND THAT PROPERTY IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
THIS BOARD DOESN'T GET TO ACT COUNSEL.
THE ONLY WAY THIS BOARD WOULD BE ABLE TO ACT IS IF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BRINGS IT BACK.
BUT THE ONLY WAY THE THEY CAN D DETERMINE IF TO BRING IT BACK IS IF THEY DETERMINE IF THE PROPERTY'S NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
SO THAT'S WHY THE STATUS REPORTS WERE DIRECTED TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES UNLESS YOU SPECIFIED, WHICH IS, I I BELIEVE THE LAST PROPERTY THAT WE HAD THERE WAS, IT WAS SPECIFIED THAT THAT PROPERTY WAS TO BE BROUGHT BACK IN FRONT OF YOU.
IN REGARDS TO GENERAL MCMULLEN, THAT PROPERTY IS IN LITIGATION SO YOU DON'T GET ANY STATUS REPORTS.
BUT I WANT TO SAY, AND I HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME, UM, I WANT TO SAY THAT YOU MIGHT'VE ASKED THEM TO BRING, TO COME BACK BECAUSE I, I WANT TO SAY, I'M JUST LOOKING, GIMME A SEC.
I KNOW FOR SEVEN OAKS I WAS VERY SPECIFIC THAT THEY COME BACK TO THE BOARD.
CODE ENFORCEMENT WAS TO, WAS TO, UM, COUNSEL, LET ME INTERRUPT YOU FOR JUST A MOMENT.
IF I MAY, I'M GONNA ASK FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UH, THE TIME IS NOW 10, EXCUSE ME WHILE I GET THE REAL TIME
10 49 ON EIGHT JUNE, 2023, THE BOARD WILL MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THIS TIME, THE TIME IS NOW 1105 ON EIGHT JUNE, 2023, UH, THE BILLING STANDARDS BOARD WILL NOW RECONVENE.
THERE WAS NO OFFICIAL ACTION TAKEN IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE ARE ADJOURNED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
