WE DO HAVE MEMBERS OF MR. ZIKA'S FAMILY PRESENT AND WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE

BASICALLY JESSE, BUT WE HAVE THE FAMILY TO RECEIVE THAT.SO, I MEAN, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
GOOD MORNING CHAIR BOARD MEMBERS.
SO AS THE CHAIR MENTIONED, UH, MR. ZUNIGA BASICALLY BEEN ON THE BSP SINCE IT STARTED.
SO WE CREATED THE BSP OR CHANGED THE NAME 'CAUSE WE HAD THE PREVIOUS BOARD, BUT THE BSP WAS CREATED IN 2012, AND HE WAS ONE OF THE MEMBERS WHO WAS ON THE INITIAL INCEPTION, BASICALLY OF THIS BSB BOARD.
AND HE SERVED ALL THIS TIME SINCE 2012 TILL NOW.
SO DEFINITELY WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE TIME AND EFFORT HE GAVE US ALL THE TIME.
AND IT'S FREE, OBVIOUSLY, LIKE YOU GUYS DO FREE WORK.
THE CITY OBVIOUSLY APPRECIATE THAT THE CITIZENS SHOULD APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AND DEDICATION.
HE WAS OBVIOUSLY APPOINTED AND REAPPOINTED SEVERAL TIMES, UH, TO STAY ON THE BOARD.
HE'S FROM COUNCIL DISTRICT SIX.
UH, HE HELPED US BASICALLY WITH THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AS WELL.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU DO, UH, HELP US WITH IS EVERY SEVERAL YEARS, EVERY THREE YEARS WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE NEW CODES, WE REVIEW THE CODE AND WE GO THROUGH IT TO SEE IF IT FITS OUR CITY, IF IT MATCHES OUR, YOU KNOW, PRACTICES AND CULTURE.
AND WE DO SOME AMENDMENTS AND UPDATES ON THE CODE.
AND HE WAS PART OF THAT COMMITTEE AS WELL.
I KNOW RECENTLY HE WAS APPOINTED TO THE ZONING BOARD, UH, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT BASICALLY.
AND HE WAS SERVING ON THAT AS WELL.
SO HE WAS DOING A LOT OF WORK FOR THE CITY FOR FREE.
UH, SO AGAIN, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND WE APPRECIATE HIS FAMILY WHO ALLOWED HIM TO ACTUALLY DO ALL THESE THINGS, UM, AND STAY AWAY FROM THEM DURING THOSE TIMES.
SO AGAIN, UM, AS YOU MENTIONED, THERE IS A COUPLE OF ATTENDEES HERE.
UH, HIS SON, UH, JESSE ZUNIGA THE THIRD, AND HIS DAUGHTER, UH, JOANNE ZUNIGA.
AND, UH, WE HAVE A PLAQUE, UH, TO PRESENT TO, TO THEM.
AND AGAIN, WE JUST WANNA THANK THEM FOR, UH, ALLOWING HIM TO SERVE ON THE BOARD.
UH, BEFORE I DO THAT, I WANNA ASK IF ANY BOARD MEMBER HAS ANY OTHER COMMENTS, UH, YOU WANNA SHARE? I WOULD.
I, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT HAVING JESSE ON THE BOARD.
UH, WE, WE MENTIONED THE THREE DIFFERENT BOARDS THAT JESSE WAS ON BESIDES THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, BUT JESSE WAS INVOLVED IN HIS COMMUNITY.
HE WAS INVOLVED IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
HE WAS, HE WAS AN INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUAL.
HE WAS A VETERAN OF THE MILITARY.
UH, HE WAS ALWAYS GIVING US YOUNGSTERS AS HE WOULD CALL US, A LOT OF ADVICE ON NOT ONLY THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, BUT ABOUT LIFE ITSELF.
AND I, IN CONVERSATION WITH THE FAMILY, I KNOW THAT HE ALSO SHARED THOSE, UH, WORDS OF EXPERIENCE THAT HE HAD FOR GROWING UP AS A FAMILY, GROWING UP AS INDIVIDUALS GROWING UP TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY, WHICH JESSE DID OVER AND OVER AGAIN, UH, PERSONALLY.
UH, HE WOULD WALK IN EVERY MORNING AND, UH, WE WOULD SHARE THE ISSUE OF, OF MILITARY EXPERIENCE.
UH, AND HE WOULD TELL STORIES AND I WOULD TELL STORIES AND THEN WE'D START LYING TO EACH OTHER ABOUT, ABOUT STORIES.
UH, I MISS JESSE IMMENSELY BECAUSE HE WAS, HE WAS JUST A BRIGHTER LIGHT EVERY TIME WE WOULD COME TO THIS BOARD, UH, TO THE FAMILY.
I, I, I'VE TOLD YOU THIS PERSONALLY, I'LL TELL YOU AGAIN PUBLICLY, WHAT A GREAT GUY.
AND, AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING HIM AS HE WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO SUPPORT THIS CITY.
JESSE WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE AND HE WAS THE ONE THAT CONVINCED ME TO SIGN UP FOR THE BOA.
AND I COULD HAVE KILLED HIM AFTER THAT
BUT JESSE WAS A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, AND WE WOULD TALK IN THE EVENINGS AFTER, AFTER THE, THE BOARD MEETINGS WERE OVER AND I'D LEAVE MESSAGES.
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SO STRANGE THAT I HAD LEFT HIM ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MESSAGES.
AND I TOLD HIM, I SAID, HAVE YOU QUIT ME ALREADY? AND, YOU KNOW, DURING THE, THE TIME WHEN HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT.
AND THAT'S HOW I MET HIS SON, JESSE ZUNIGA, III.
'CAUSE HE CALLED ME AND WHEN I SAW THE, THE NAME ON THE CALL ID, I SAID, WELL, IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME YOU CALL ME
AND HE SAID, OH, OH, I'M SORRY.
BUT, UH, YOUR FATHER WAS A HOOT.
HE KEPT US LAUGHING AND, UH, HE KEPT US, YOU KNOW, QUESTIONING OURSELVES ABOUT DIFFERENT PRACTICES.
AND SO HE WAS A, A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING HIM WITH US.
[00:10:01]
UM, ONE THING I WILL REMEMBER ABOUT HIM A LOT IS HE WAS CONSTANTLY BRINGING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO MY ATTENTION.UM, I DO, UH, HOUSING ADVOCACY OUTSIDE OF HERE.
AND HE ALWAYS HAD PEOPLE THAT HE WAS SENDING TO ME TO GET HELP.
AND HE WAS ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT HIS NEIGHBORS AND HIS COMMUNITY.
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR US TO SIT UP HERE AND HAVE SOME HEALTHY DEBATES,
UM, BUT WHEN WE GO INTO THE BREAK ROOM OUT HERE, WE DEBATED IN THERE, WE WOULD JOKE CUT UP, BUT I'LL MISS HIM.
I WON'T HAD NOBODY UP HERE TO DEBATE.
SO WE GOTTA FIND SOMEBODY NOW.
YOU WANNA, YOU WANNA COME UP HERE AND
BUT WE APPRECIATE, WE APPRECIATE NOT ONLY HIS SERVICE TO THE MILITARY, 'CAUSE WE'RE ALL, MOST OF US ARE VETS, BUT TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
AND AS MUCH AS IT IMPACTED US, I KNOW IT IMPACTED YOU A LOT MORE, BUT JUST REMIND YOURSELVES THAT THAT'S AN EXAMPLE AND THAT'S WHAT'S TO FOLLOW.
AND I HOPE YOU GUYS FOLLOW IN THE SAME FOOTSTEPS.
APPRECIATE IT AND APPRECIATE THE TIME THAT WE HAD WITH HIM AND THAT YOU SHARED WITH US.
LEGAL WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS IF POSSIBLE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M REFERRING TO MYSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON, BUT
UH, SO THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I GOT TO MEET HIM.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO HONE MY SKILLS AS AN ATTORNEY FOR THIS BOARD WITH JESSE BEING ON IT.
UM, I COULD, AND I, I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, I WOULD RELAX AT TIMES IF JESSE WAS NOT HERE BECAUSE I, I KNEW THE LEGAL, UM, INQUIRIES WOULD PROBABLY BE MINIMIZED.
UM, BUT I, I WANT YOU TO, I WANT HIS FAMILY TO KNOW THAT WE ARE THANKFUL THAT YOU SHARED HIM WITH US.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT HE WAS LOVED BY US, UM, BY THE CITY, BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
'CAUSE I PROMISE YOU, HE KEPT US SHARPENED.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE GOT ME ON THE HDRC FOR A COUPLE OF TERMS, AND HE'S ALWAYS BUGGING MY SISTER ABOUT THINGS.
SO, UH, HIS LIFE IS, IS SERVICE, IS IS, UH, BEEN PASSED ON TO US.
AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS, THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

THE OWNER ON RECORD IS GUERRERO NOEL ANTHONY AND GUERRERO ILIO II WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 3 2 6 9 KALIMA STREET, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 7.
SAN ANTONIO POLICE OFFICER MORENO IS PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT PRESENT TODAY.
DOES THE BOARD WISH TO CONTINUE? YES, PLEASE.
THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON OCTOBER 30TH, 2023.
THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.

THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 3 2 6 9 KALIMA STREET ON FEBRUARY 28TH, 2024.
THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO NOELLE, ANTHONY GUERRERO AND JULIO GUERRERO II.
AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED ON FEBRUARY 9TH, 2024.
AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED TO OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE STRUCTURE TO PRESENT BEFORE BSB.
[00:20:01]
WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FOR THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE FRONT PORCH HAS BEEN MADE INTO A LIVING AREA.
UM, NOT ONLY HAS IT BEEN MADE INTO A LIVING AREA, BUT THERE'S SO MANY ITEMS THAT IT IS BLOCKING THE FRONT DOOR.
SO IT IS A, A ISSUE FOR MEANS OF EGRESS, NOT ONLY FOR THE OCCUPANTS BUT FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AS WELL.
ALL THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE WOOD PLANK SIDING, LOTS WEATHER PROTECTION AND THE ROOF SYSTEM IS WORN AND THE FACIA BOARDS LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW TO SHOW THE WOOD PLANK SIDING IS LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
SOME OF THE SIDING HAS COMPLETELY DETERIORATED AND IS MISSING.
THE FOUNDATION HAS SUNK ONTO THE GRADE AND THE POSTS ARE LEANING.
HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW TO SHOW THE POSTS HAVE SUNK INTO THE GROUND.
THIS WHITE PORTION IS ACTUALLY AN ADDITION THAT WAS DONE AND THERE WERE NO PERMITS OBTAINED FOR THIS ADDITION.
SO THIS IS THAT BACK PORTION OF THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
AGAIN, THIS WHITE PORTION IS AN ADDITION WITHOUT A PERMIT.
WEATHER PROTECTION IS DETERIORATED.
AND THE ROOF SYSTEM AS WELL AS ROTTED AND DETERIORATED, THE FACE BOARD IS FALLING FROM THE ROOF SYSTEM.
SO THIS IS THE FRONT PORTION OF THAT RIGHT ELEVATION.
AND AGAIN, THE FRONT PORCH HAS BEEN MADE INTO A LIVING AREA.
THEY'VE PUT UP TARPS AND ON THE INSIDE THERE'S BEDDING AND OTHER ITEMS BLOCKING THE EGRESS.
SO THIS IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT GRAY TARP.
UM, AGAIN, LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS. THERE'S SHELVING, THERE'S LIGHTS, UM, A LARGE AMOUNT OF CLOTHING AND JUST OTHER ITEMS THAT COULD CATCH FIRE EASILY.
THIS IS THE LEFT PORTION OF THAT FRONT PORCH.
AGAIN, LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS JUST BEING ACCUMULATED.
SO THIS IS GOING INTO THE ADDITION ON THAT LEFT SIDE.
UM, THEY'VE MADE THIS INTO LIVING QUARTERS AS WELL.
AND AGAIN, THIS PORTION WAS ALSO ADDED ONTO THE MAIN STRUCTURE WITHOUT PERMITS.
THERE ARE EXTENSION CORDS BEING RAN THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH A LOT OF ITEMS, TRASH.
SO THIS IS ANOTHER ANGLE OF THAT VIEW SHOWING THAT THE WALL AND ROOF SYSTEM DO NOT, UM, ENCLOSE.
SO THE ELEMENTS IS COME, ARE COMING IN.
SO THAT IS WALKING INTO THE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEING STORED AND THERE ARE CORDS BEING RUN FROM ONE WALL TO THE OTHER.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THAT STRING IS.
SO HERE'S JUST ANOTHER VIEW TO SHOW THE EXTENSION CORDS BEING RAN FROM ONE WALL ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER.
THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE SHEET ROCK.
THIS IS THAT WHITE PORTION ON THE EXTERIOR ON THE REAR.
AND THAT WAS THE ADDITION THAT WAS ADDED WITHOUT A PERMIT.
AND THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CEILING 'CAUSE THE SHEET ROCK HAS BEEN CUT OUT.
THE SUBFLOOR IS ROTTED AND THERE ARE EXTENSION CORDS.
THIS IS GOING INTO THE KITCHEN AREA.
IT IS HARD TO SEE IN THE PHOTO, BUT THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF OF URINE STAINS.
UM, THE FLOOR IS FILLED WITH DOG URINE.
UM, THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 15 DOGS AT THIS PROPERTY.
THE DAY OF THIS INSPECTION, THIS IS THE BEDROOM OFF OF THE KITCHEN AREA.
THE FLOOR COVERING IS DETERIORATED.
AGAIN, A LARGE AMOUNT OF URINE AND DOG FECES THROUGHOUT AND A LARGE, A VERY HEAVY SMELL OF AMMONIA AS WELL.
THE FLOOR COVERING IS DETERIORATED.
THEN PIECES OF THE CEILING ARE DETACHING.
THIS IS GOING, UM, INTO THE ROOM BEHIND THE KITCHEN.
AGAIN, THE FLOOR COVERING IS MISSING IN SOME AREAS OR IS LIFTING.
UM, THERE IS A ORANGE EXTENSION CORD THAT IS PLUGGED INTO THE OUTLET BEHIND THAT RACK TO THE RIGHT.
AND IT IS BEING RAN ALL THE WAY TO THE NEXT ROOM BEHIND THAT DOOR.
AND THE SHEET ROCK HAS FALLEN FROM THE CEILING AS WELL.
AND THE FLOOR COVERING AGAIN, IT IS ROTTED.
IT HAS BEEN TORN UP AND IT DOES, UM, HAVE SOME URINE STAINS AS WELL.
UM, THEY DO HAVE, UM, ACTIVE WATER
[00:25:01]
AT THIS TIME, UM, BUT NOT UTILIZING THE SHOWER AS IT SHOULD BE USED.SO THAT'S, THIS IS THE ROOM BEHIND THAT CLOSED DOOR.
THERE ARE SOME PILES OF DOG FECES AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS, UH, BLOCKING THE WINDOW.
AGAIN, AN ISSUE FOR EGRESS, NOT ONLY FOR THE OCCUPANTS, BUT FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AS WELL.
AND THE, THE SUBFLOOR DOES HAVE URINE STAINS.
THERE'S THAT ORANGE EXTENSION CORD THAT I WAS SPEAKING ABOUT EARLIER THAT'S BEING RUN FROM THE PREVIOUS ROOM.
IT'S BEING RUN INTO THIS BEDROOM THAT HAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEING STORED.
UM, THERE'S AGAIN, A LARGE STRONG SMELL OF AMMONIA.
THE MATTRESSES SOAKED IN URINE ALONG WITH THE LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BLOCKING THE WINDOWS.
THIS IS THE RIGHT PORTION OF THAT, OF THAT ROOM.
AGAIN, LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BLOCKING THE WINDOWS.
UM, SO AGAIN, IT, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR FIRST RESPONDERS TO COME IN OR OCCUPANTS TO GET OUT.
AND I JUST WANTED TO SHOW HERE IN THIS PHOTO HOW HIGH THE DEBRIS GOES UP.
THAT BED IS PROBABLY A COUPLE FEET HIGH AND ALONG AS, AS WELL AS THOSE STEPS.
AND THE DEBRIS IS MEETING WHERE THE BED IS.
THIS IS KIND OF HARD TO SEE, BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY RAT DROPPINGS, UM, IN THE WINDOW SILL.
SO THERE'S SIGNS OF INFESTATION AS WELL.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 3, 2, 6 9 KALIMA STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 11, 12 AND 15, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFI FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION UTILITIES TO BE DISCONNECTED AND THE PROPERTY TO BE VACATED.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 3 2 6 9 KMA STREET.
DOES THIS BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? THIS IS THOMAS FRANKS.
SO LOOKING AT THIS DART WENT OUT ON 4, 4 20, 23, 11 MONTHS LATER BEING BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD, WHAT TOOK SO LONG? SO AT THIS TIME WE ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE SERVICES 'CAUSE IT IS OWNER OCCUPIED.
SO WE WANTED TO TRY TO GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY WITH DIFFERENT, UM, PROGRAMS THAT HE COULD TRY TO GET THE PROPERTY REPAIRED.
UM, I NOTICED THAT IT SAYS IT'S NOT BY A SCHOOL WITHIN A THOUSAND.
IS THERE A SCHOOL IN THE AREA AND IS THIS AREA USED AS A MAIN ARTERY FOR, UH, ANYBODY WALKING TO THE SCHOOL? SO, I'M UNSURE OF THE, THE AREA THAT YOU COULD ASK THE SAPD OFFICER.
I'M SURE HE'S AWARE OF THAT AREA MORE, BUT AS FAR AS WHERE THE NEAREST SCHOOL IS, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT FOR YOU.
ALRIGHT, THANK YOU MS. MIRANDA, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? I'M SORRY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO THE CODE OFFICER? THANK YOU VERY MUCH MA'AM.
UH, OFFICER MORENO, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR STATION PLEASE.
I'M OFFICER MORENO FROM CENTRAL SAFE UNIT.
I'VE BEEN ASSIGNED THERE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
SO, UM, I'VE BEEN GOING TO THAT PROPERTY SINCE LAST JANUARY.
UM, I LOOKED AT THE CALLS FOR SERVICE.
THERE'S BEEN ABOUT A TOTAL OF 94 CALLS OF PATROL.
ACTUALLY MADE IT OUT THERE FOR 30 OF THE CALLS.
UH, I'VE BEEN OUT THERE WITH THE SAFE UNITS FOR 64 CALLS.
EXCUSE ME, COULD YOU PUT YOUR MICROPHONE? YES.
SO OUT OF THOSE CALLS THERE'S BEEN 12 OFFENSES REPORTS GENERATED.
I HAD DONE NINE ARRESTS, UH, FROM NARCOTICS TO FELONY WARRANTS, ACTIVE WARRANTS.
UM, THE, THE PROPERTY WAS A DISTRICT FIVE COMPLAINT.
THE, I TALKED TO THE COMPLAINANT.
SHE WAS, SHE DIDN'T WANNA CALL POLICE 'CAUSE SHE WAS FEAR OF RETALIATION.
'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC AT AT THAT PROPERTY.
IT'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE NIGHT DURING THE DAY, EVENING AT NIGHT.
UM, SO IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE CALLING FOR THAT PROPERTY.
SO, UM, THE CALL IS GENERAT, UM, RANGED FROM MENTAL HEALTH DISTURBANCES, FIGHTS.
UM, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A SHOOTING IN PROGRESS THERE.
[00:30:01]
BUT HE'S ONE OF THE REGULARS AT THAT PROPERTY.HE'S A KNOWN, UH, THIEF IN, IN THE AREA.
UH, SO WHEN WE DID THE, THE DART OF FOUR APRIL 4TH, UH, WE REMOVED 16 INDIVIDUALS OUT OF THE PROPERTY.
ONE MALE HAD TWO FELONY WARRANTS.
THE ACTUAL OWNER NOEL WAS THERE PRESENT.
I EXPLAINED THE WHOLE PROCESS.
WHAT WAS, WHAT HAPPENED, WHY HIS HOUSE WAS ON, WAS BEING DARTED.
HE UNDERSTOOD HE SIGNED A CRIMINAL TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT FOR ME.
BUT AFTER GOING OUT THERE AGAIN, I FOUND OUT THAT PEOPLE WERE PAYING HIM TO STAY THERE.
SO THAT CRIMINAL, CRIMINAL, UM, UM, TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT PRETTY MUCH JUST DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE FOR ME SINCE PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY PAYING HIM.
SO THERE, THE LADY IN THE FRONT, UM, SHE'S PAYING NOELLE.
UM, THE GUY, THE LADY THAT THAT'S STAYING IN THE BACK STORAGE ROOM IS ALSO PAYING NOEL.
THEY ALSO HAD A CAR AT ONE POINT.
UH, THE CAR'S NO LONGER THERE.
BUT, UM, FOR THE SCHOOLS THERE IS, THERE'S A SCHOOL MAYBE WITHIN 300 FEET.
THERE'S, THERE'S RHODES MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IT'S LESS THAN A THOUSAND FEET FROM NORTH AND SOUTH.
AND THERE'S A CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER, WHICH IS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET.
AND THAT BARKLEY IS A MAIN ARTERY FOR ALL THE CHILDREN TO WALK TO SCHOOL.
UM, EVERY TIME I'VE GONE OUT THERE, THERE'S DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
THE PROPERTY IS COVERED WITH PARAPHERNALIA, USED NEEDLES, UM, JUST, UM, JUST RANDOM, UH, NARCOTICS ON THE FLOOR.
SO IT IS A CONCERN FOR, AND THAT'S WHY I ALWAYS GO OUT THERE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE IS A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC EVEN FOR THE KIDS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? ANY QUESTIONS OF THE OFFICER? YEAH, THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
FIRST THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
AND THAT'S TO ALL OF THE OFFICERS OUT HERE.
UM, THE INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU RUN ACROSS.
ARE THEY KNOWN IN THE, NOT JUST YOURS, BUT ARE THEY BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH FROM HABITAT TO HABITAT? THEY'RE, TO ME THAT PROPERTY IS, THEY GO TO THAT PROPERTY THEY USE, THEY GO AND THEY, THEY USE THEIR, THEIR NARCOTICS AND THEN THEY LEAVE.
SO SOMETIMES I GO AND I CATCH 'EM BEFORE.
'CAUSE THEY'RE IN, IN POSSESSION OF NARCOTICS.
I SEEN THEM OUT THROUGHOUT THE AREA, BUT THEY USUALLY LIKE TO HANG THERE TO USE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 3 3 8 ADELPHIA AVENUE WAS CONDUCTED ON SEPTEMBER 5TH, 2023.
THE ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2023, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED OCTOBER 17TH, 2023, UNCLAIMED ON FEBRUARY 29TH, 2024.

ON FEBRUARY 5TH, 2024, AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED TO OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE STRUCTURE TO PRESENT BEFORE BSB.
NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FOR THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE WOOD PLANK SIDING DOES HAVE SOME DETERIORATION AND LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION.
THE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS FOR THE THE ATTACHED FRONT PORCH ALSO LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, THE SIDING, UH, DOES LACK WEATHER PROTECTION AND IS ROTTED AT THE BASE.
THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, UH, IT DOES LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
IT AND THE SIDING IS DETERIORATED AT THE BASE AND THE FASCIA BOARD DOES LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
SO THIS IS THE, UH, RIGHT ELEVATION.
AGAIN, THE, THE SIDING DOES LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS IS GOING INTO THE FRONT DOOR.
UM, THERE'S A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS STORED.
UM, THERE'S BIKES, THERE'S LAWNMOWERS, OTHER ITEMS THAT, UM, CAUSE HAZARD TO BE STORED INSIDE.
UM, THERE ARE EXPOSED WIRES AS WELL.
SO THIS WOULD BE THE WAY TO ENTER THE KITCHEN.
AT THE DAY OF THIS INSPECTION, I WAS UNABLE TO
[00:40:01]
ACTUALLY ACCESS THE KITCHEN, UM, DUE TO ALL THE ITEMS BEING STORED.SO THIS IS THE RIGHT PORTION OF THAT LIVING AREA WHEN WALKING INTO THE FRONT DOOR, AGAIN, A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEING STORED AND, AND THE WINDOWS ARE BLOCKED, CAUSING EGRESS ISSUES NOT ONLY FOR THE OCCUPANTS BUT FOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS AS WELL.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEDROOMS THAT ARE BEING OCCUPIED.
THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS BEING STORED AS WELL.
THERE WAS A LIGHT FIXTURE INSTALLED WITHOUT A PERMIT.
THIS IS THE HALLWAY FOR ALL THE ACCESS TO THE BEDROOMS AND THE BATHROOM.
AND THERE ARE ITEMS BLOCKING THE WALKWAY, POSING A HAZARD.
THIS WOULD BE ANOTHER BEDROOM AREA.
AGAIN, LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEING STORED.
THEY DO NOT HAVE WATER AS WELL, SO THEY'RE JUST UTILIZING THE TOILET WITH NO WATER.
THE PLUMBING FIXTURES ARE MISSING AND THERE ARE HOLES AND CRACKS IN THE SHEET ROCK IN THE CEILING.
SO THIS WAS FROM THE DAY OF THE DART.
SO AGAIN, NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED.
THERE ARE STILL A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEING STORED THAT ACCESS TO GET TO THE OTHER PORTIONS OF THE HOUSE ARE HARD TO GET TO OR NOT ACCESSIBLE AT ALL.
SO I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE KITCHEN THE DAY OF THE DAR IN SEPTEMBER.
IT IS MISSING SHEET ROCK, AND YOU CAN SEE SUNLIGHT COMING THROUGH.
THIS IS ANOTHER PORTION OF THAT KITCHEN AREA.
THE BACK DOOR IS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
IT IS MISSING DOORKNOBS, SO IT IS NOT ABLE TO BE SECURED TO KEEP INDIVIDUALS OUT.
AND THIS IS THE BATHROOM AREA AGAIN.
UM, THE SHEET ROCK WAS REMOVED.
THEY WERE MESSING WITH THE PLUMBING AT THE TIME.
THE PLUMBING FIXTURES WERE STILL MISSING AT THAT TIME AS WELL.
AND THERE WAS SIGNS OF DRUG USE AT THE DAY OF THE DARK.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 3 3 8 ADELPHIA AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, 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 IN A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS THE DEMOLITION AND THE PROPERTY TO BE VACATED.

[00:45:01]
AT THE TIME.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF CODE OFFICER, SO MS. BROWN, SO DID YOU SAY SOMEONE IS LIVING THERE OR NO ONE IS LIVING THERE? YES, THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE LIVING AT THE PROPERTY, BUT IT IS NOT THE PROPERTY OWNER.

STEPPING BACK OVER TO THE, UH, AREA WHERE THE ROOF IS MISSING, YOU CAN SEE THE FALLEN TRUSSES.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1 1 7 1 5 PEPPER TREE.
DO WE KNOW THE DATE OF THE FIRE, THE DATE OF THE FIRE TOOK PLACE? UH, JANUARY 20TH, 2020.
ANY QUESTIONS OF THE COWORKER? UH, THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
IT, IT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN DEMOED ON THE, IN INTERIOR.
WAS THERE EVER A PERMIT PULLED THERE? IT WAS NO.
FROM WHAT, WHEN I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE, UH, PROPERTY ON AUGUST, THERE WERE NO PERMITS ON FILE AT ALL.
FROM ALL THE WAY BACK FROM WHEN I RESEARCHED, THERE WERE NO PERMITS.
BUT SOMEBODY DID DEMO IT BECAUSE THERE'S NO SHEET ROCK OR ANYTHING IN IT.
SO THAT WOULD YEAH, THAT I, I COULDN'T ANSWER THAT.
I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT, BUT DURING MY ENTIRE INSPECTION THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT ANY DEMOLITION TOOK PLACE NOR WAS THERE ANY PERMITS ON FILES.
AND I DO SEE WHERE FROM THE PHOTOS THERE IS, THE SEAT SHEET ROCK IS NOT PRESENT.
THEY AND INSULATION AND EVERYTHING.
SO THAT TELLS ME SOMEBODY PROBABLY DEMOED IT, BUT THE POWER IS OFF.
IT WAS CONFIRMED, UH, AS OF YESTERDAY THAT FROM CPS THERE IS NO GAS, THERE IS NO POWER OR WATER.
AND THE ONLY THING THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE DAMAGED PART WAS WHERE THE OTHER THAN, UH, SMOKE IS WHERE THE ACTUAL FIRE WAS IN THE GARAGE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD MR. CHAIR.
SO LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, WELL MINE'S 85.
IT'S THE, UH, FRONT SIDE WHERE IT'S GONNA SHOW THE GARAGE THAT'S BOARDED UP.
SO THERE'S NO PERMITS, BUT THERE'S A CONSTRUCTION, UH, METER OUT FRONT.
SO THIS IS PRETTY COMMON WHEN SOME'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
SO CPS HAD BEEN OUT THERE, UM, AND HAD A TEMPORARY METER.
SO I'M CURIOUS HOW CPS DID THAT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF
I MADE SURE I DOUBLE CHECK THAT BECAUSE WHEN I SAW THAT ON MY FIRST INSPECTION, I SEE IT RIGHT THERE.
IF YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT OF THAT, THAT BRICK SIDING, THAT IS THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY, THERE IS A, A GAP OF ABOUT MAYBE THREE FEET BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY AND THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN QUESTION.
YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
ARE THEY? YEAH, BUT IT'S, THERE IS THAT GOES TO THE PROPERTY TO THE LEFT OF THE YEAH.
SO THAT LINE RIGHT THERE IN THE CONCRETE IS ACTUALLY YOUR DIVIDING PROPERTY LINE?
[01:00:01]
UH, NO.UM, I DON'T SEE WHAT LINE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, BUT IF YOU WALK UP TO THE GARAGE AREA WHERE THE BOARDS IS AND YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT, IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PHOTO WHERE I ENTER THE PROPERTY, YOU CAN SEE THE WINDOW.
SO THAT'S, BUT THAT'S WHERE THE DRAWING SPLIT CORRECT.
PERMISSION, CORRECT? NO, UH, HOLD ON.
WE'LL CALL YOU UP IN JUST A MOMENT.
COULD, YOU CAN ASK LEGAL GO AHEAD.
YES, MR. NELSON FROM MY, UH, AND AND CHAIR FOR MY UNDERSTANDING, I DO BELIEVE, UM, IF YOU ALLOW ONCE, UM, UH, ONCE CODE IS DONE WITH PRESENTATION, I BELIEVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECT IS HERE.

I BELIEVE MISSION, MISSION TRACES.
I WANT TO SAY, AND I'M NOT TOO SURE I WANNA SAY THAT THERE'S ZERO PROPERTY LINES IN THE SENSE THAT, UM, THERE'S NOT REAL BIG SPACES IN BETWEEN THE YARDS.
THIS IS AN OLDER SUBDIVISION WHERE THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE LUXURIOUS GARDEN HOMES.
UH, BODO YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, THAT WE'LL HEAR, UH, AN EXPLANATION OF THAT IN JUST A MOMENT? YEAH.

THIS IS THE AREA OF THE SIDING THAT WAS MISSING ON THE, UH, SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE THAT WAS COVERED FROM THE INSIDE AND THE NOOKS.
THE NEXT TWO PHOTOS ARE GONNA REVEAL
[01:15:01]
THE ROOF DECKING DAMAGE DUE TO, UH, WATER PRESSURE CHA WATER PRE PENETRATION.AND THERE'S THE SECOND PHOTO, NEXT PHOTO.
THIS PHOTO RIGHT HERE IS THE, UH, THE, UH, EXTENSION FROM THE, UH, SECOND FLOOR AND WATER HAS, UH, ACCESS AND IT'S SEVERELY DAMAGED THE FLOOR AND WALLS.
AND THERE'S A LARGE HOLE UNDERNEATH THE WINDOW.
AND THE NEXT PHOTO IS GOING TO HERE IS THE, UH, SECOND LEVEL EXTENSION THAT HAS THE, UH, DAMAGED ROOF.
UH, RAPTORS ARE LACKING SUPPORT AND A PORTION OF THE EXTERIOR WALL IS MISSING.
THIS IS, THIS IS A TWO, TWO-STORY, RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.
NEGLECTED CONDITION, EXTERIOR STRUCTURE HAS MISSING AND DAMAGED SIDING ALONG WITH A DAMAGED ROOF SYSTEM.
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IS OCCURRING DUE TO THE STRUCTURE BEING OPEN TO THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS.
SUBFLOORING ON SECOND LEVEL HAS SUSTAINED WATER DAMAGE AND UNSAFE TO WALK ON.
THE EXTENDED OVERHANG ON THE SECOND FLOOR, LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE, HAS SUFFERED SEVERE DAMAGE DUE TO WATER PENETRATION AND IS IN PROCESS OF COLLAPSING.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 74 38 KINGSTON IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1 2 5 7 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHERE ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREAFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD OF PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN INHABITATION POSE A THREAT, A POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 74 38 KINGSTON.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? MR. CHAIR, THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
YOUR FIRST PHOTO WHEN YOU OPENED UP THE PRESENTATION.
IT SHOULD BE 1 0 8 IS WHAT MY PHOTO IN THE LEFT SHOWS.
I UNDERSTAND THAT TO THE LEFT SIDE, THAT'S THE SCHOOL THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT, YES, SIR.
AND THERE'S NO FENCE BETWEEN THIS BUILDING AND THAT SCHOOL? NO, SIR.
SO I'M LOOKING AT THE HISTORY HERE.
SO ON FOUR 17 O-H-O-H-P CLEARED THIS RIGHT REVIEW, AND THEN ON NINE 12 THEY RESET IT, WHICH PAUSED, AND THIS IS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE RIGHT? WITHIN SCHOOL.
CAN YOU GIVE ANY KIND OF FEEDBACK ON WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY IT KEPT BOUNCING AROUND? UH, NO, SIR.
I, I MEAN, HONESTLY, I CANNOT, I MEAN, A PART OF OUR, UH, GUIDELINES ARE TO, UH, SUBMIT TO OHP AND THEN WE JUST FOLLOW UP WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY RELEASED.
I MEAN, THIS STRUCTURE DOES FALL WITHIN THE, UH, VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
THAT MAY BE ONE POSSIBILITY THAT HELD IT UP A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
STAFF, CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND THAT? 'CAUSE OHP CLEARED IT ON FOUR 17, AND THEN ON NINE 12 THEY DID 180 DAY RESET, WHICH THEN STALLED OUT FOR COMING TO THE BOARD.
I DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS ON THIS SPECI, UM, PARTICULAR PROPERTY, BUT IN GENERAL, THERE ARE PARTS TO THE OHP PROCESS.
THERE IS THE VACANT REGISTRATION PROGRAM THAT IS ONE PART OF THEIR DEPARTMENT IN REVIEW.
AND THERE IS ALSO THE, UH, HISTORIC, THERE IS ALSO THE HISTORIC REVIEW.
SO THE CLEAR, I BELIEVE THAT YOU SAW THE FIRST DATE FOR WOULD'VE BEEN FOR IF IT HAS HISTORIC GO, BUT THE BEFORE THE HISTORIC, UM, UM, COMMISSION FOR CONSIDERATION, THAT 180 DAY REVIEW IS FOR THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
SO JUST TO, TO, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PIECES THAT ARE KIND OF RUNNING IN CONJUNCTION.
IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.
UM, WHEN WE SEE ANY INSTANCE WHERE THE, THE STRUCTURE DOES CAUSE MORE DAMAGE OR IF THERE'S MORE ACTIVITY OCCURRING, WE WILL TYPICALLY COORDINATE WITH OHP TO, UH, PROCESS IT SOONER.
BUT THEY HAVE GENERAL TIMELINES WITH, UH, THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
SO I THINK MY CONFUSION'S COMING FROM OHP HAS RESPONDED.
OHP REVIEW, COMPLETE STRUCTURE, NOT WITHIN HISTORIC OVERLAY, A LANDMARK OR QUALIFIES FOR VBP, DP AND BSB CAN PROCEED.
THAT'S WHERE I'M GETTING HUNG UP ON.
AND THAT LOOKS LIKE ON FOUR 17.
[01:20:02]
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE TO GO AHEAD AND PROCEED THOUGH? ABSOLUTELY.ANY OTHER GOOD, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANDRES CARILLO, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
MR. CARRILLO, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR FULL NAME AND YOUR HOME ADDRESS, PLEASE.
AND, UM, YOU WANT WHERE THE ADDRESS WHERE I LIVE OR YOU WHERE YOU LIVE, SIR.
MY ADDRESS IS, UH, 68 0 6 SPOON LAKE CENTER.
AND YOUR TESTIMONY, PLEASE? UH, YEAH, I MEAN, I JUST, UH, I'M A, UH, SHE'S GONNA TRANSLATE
I'M AN ACTIVE CONTRACTOR AND, UM, I TOOK ON TOO MANY JOBS AND I WAS VERY BUSY.
AND I, I HAVE FIXED HOUSES THAT IN WORSE CONDITION THAN THIS ONE.
I HAVE A PLAN TO FIX THIS HOUSE, SO IT'LL BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
I CAN, I CAN GET, UH, UH, REQUEST ALL THE PERMITS THAT ARE NECESSARY.
THE INSTALLATION THAT YOU SEE NOW HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR A LONG TIME.
IT'S, IT'S MATERIAL THAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM ANOTHER JOB THAT I DID.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD, IT SEEMED EASY TO ME TO JUST STORE IT IN THAT EMPTY HOUSE.
I DO HAVE A PLAN TO REPAIR IT AND THE MONEY TO DO IT WITH, AND I CAN START IMMEDIATELY.
DID HE BRING ANY OF THAT INFORMATION WITH HIM IN TERMS OF PROOF OF FINANCIAL ABILITY AS WELL AS SPECIFIC SCOPE OF NO, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN IN THIS AND I DIDN'T REALIZE ANY TO BRING, UH, DOCUMENTATION STATEMENTS.
MY BANK STATEMENTS ARE ON MY CELL PHONE IF YOU CARE TO SEE THOSE.
COUNSEL, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE, HIS CELL PHONE OR IS THAT INSUFFICIENT? YES, IF HE, IF HE WOULD PULL THOSE UP, I WILL.
AND, UM, BUT WE DON'T NEED TO SEE ALL HIS INFORMATION.
WE JUST NEED TO SEE WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO HIM TO USE ON THIS PROJECT.
UH, HE WANTS TO KNOW WHERE HE IS SUPPOSED TO SHOW IT.
UH, IF HE WOULD GIVE TO THE LADIES AND THEY WILL TAKE IT TO THE ATTORNEY.
DID HE BUY THE PROPERTY FROM SOMEONE OR WAS HE THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY OR, UH, HE DOESN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY.
IT WAS 2020 OR 2021 WHEN HE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY.
DID HE, DID HE BRING IN ANY KIND OF DEED OR ANYTHING? NO.
CAD SHOWS HE DIDN'T BRING, HE DIDN'T BRING ANY DOCUMENTS.
MY COMMENT WAS, UH, TO MS. BROWN WAS THAT CAD DOES SHOW HIM AS THE OWNER, SO, UH, ID WOULD NOT BE NECESSARY.
MR. CHAIR, I'VE, I'VE LOOKED AT, UM, WHAT HE WANTS TO SHOW AND THAT'S PERFECTLY, UM, UM, ACCEPTABLE FOR HIM TO SHOW THAT.
IF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE FOR ME TO LOOK AT, I JUST DIDN'T, I, I DIDN'T KNOW OTHER THAN HIS FINANCIAL.
SO A QUESTION TO MR. CARRELL, UH, HE'S SAYING THAT HE COULD ALSO, UH, BUILD A, A PRIVACY FENCE, UH, WHILE HE'S WORKING ON THE PROPERTY.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE, BECAUSE, BECAUSE OF THE SCHOOL.
UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE'S REQUIRED TO ALSO, UH, IDENTIFY THE LENGTH OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE HIM TO DO ALL REPAIRS WITH ALL PERMITS, THREE TO FOUR MONTHS.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. CARILLO? OKAY, MR. MR. CHAIR, I APOLOGIZE.
[01:25:01]
UH, LEGAL HAS A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.UM, WE ARE, I'D, I'D LIKE TO FIND OUT, UH, WHEN HE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY, WHAT YEAR HE PURCHASED IT.
COULD HE BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE CONDITION THE PROPERTY WAS IN WHEN HE PURCHASED IT? HE SAYS IT'S GOTTEN A BIT MORE DAMAGED, BUT IT WAS MORE OR LESS THE SAME AS IT IS NOW.
WHEN HE BOUGHT IT, HE'S NOT VERY SURE IF IT WAS IN 2020 OR 2021.
BUT IT IS, IT, IT WAS DURING COVID.
AND, AND HIS TESTIMONY IS THE PROPERTY WAS IN BAD SHAPE WHEN HE PURCHASED IT? YES, SIR.
THE OTHER QUESTION, UM, IS HE STATING THAT HE'S WILLING TO BUILD A FENCE? YES, SIR.
IS HE WILLING TO, AND HOW MUCH TIME DID HE SAY HE NEEDED? THREE MONTHS.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, YEAH.
UM, YOU A QUESTION? HE'S A LICENSED CONTRACTOR IN THE CITY? YES.
AND IS HE A GENERAL CONTRACTOR OR IS HE A SPECIFIC CONTRACTOR? PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL.
HE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE HIS LICENSE? NO.
I, I JUST, THEY CAN PUT IT UP ON THE SCREEN.
UH, IS HE A, A GENERAL CONTRACTOR OR C SPECIFIC OR A SPECIFIC? HE SAYS GENERAL.
SO ARE YOU LICENSED TO DO ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, HVAC? NO.
BUT HE HAS SOMEONE WHO WILL DO THE PERMITS FOR HIM AND HE CAN DO AIR CONDITIONING AND THE REMODELING OF THE CONSTRUCTION.
BUT DOES HE HAVE THE LICENSE BECAUSE HE HAS TO PULL PERMITS? HE HAS TO BE LICENSED.
OH, HE SAYS HE HAS SOMEONE WHO WORKS WITH HIM THAT, UH, WOULD, HAS THE, THE LICENSE.
BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE A CONTRACT WITH ANYBODY OTHER THAN THE GENERAL HIMSELF.
NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT I CAN DO IT.
AND HE DOES NOT HAVE A SCOPE OF WORK, CORRECT? NOT YET.
DOES IT MATTER IF HE HAS SOMEBODY THAT CAN PULL THE CONTRACTS? DOES IT MATTER THAT HE'S NOT, I I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THIS BOARD UNDERSTANDS.
NO, THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION WOULD BE NO.
AND SECONDLY, I I, UM, AND WE'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, UM, IF, IF, BASED ON HIS TESTIMONY, IF HIS TESTIMONY IS SATISFIES THIS BOARD IN REGARDS TO SCOPE OF WORK AND, AND HIS PLAN, THEN THIS BOARD CAN ACT ON THAT.
WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO START ON THE PROPERTY?
CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE A MOTION.
I MOVED THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED, OH, I DIDN'T EVEN PULL UP THE ADDRESS.
UH, I MOVED THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 4 3 8 KINGSTON IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1, 5, 6, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
TEAM, I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY BE REPAIRED WITHIN 90 DAYS THAT A SECURITY FENCE BE, UH, BUILT, THAT THE PROPERTY IS SECURED, AND THAT THE OWNER, UH, OBTAINS ALL REQUIRED PERMITS
[01:30:02]
AND THAT THE OWNER PRODUCES A SCOPE OF WORK AND ANY OTHER REQUIRED PAPERWORK TO THIS, UH, TO THE CODE OFFICER WITHIN 30 DAYS.THE MOTION THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 74 38 KINGSTON IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, BUT IT IS LY BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 56, SUB CODES 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND THE PROPERTY IS TO BE SECURED WITH A FENCE, PERIMETER FENCE AROUND THE BUILDING.
IT IS TO BE, UH, REPAIRED WITH ALL PERMITS AND SCOPE OF WORK PROVIDED TO THE CODE OFFICER.
UH, ANYTHING ELSE THAT I MISSED? VERY GOOD.
UH, DO I HAVE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION? SECOND.
AND WE HAVE A SECOND FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
MR. ANDES, UH, FOLLOW UP EVERY 30 DAYS FOR CODE.
MOTION AND SECOND IS ACCEPTABLE.
SOLE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IS ACCEPTABLE AS, UH, A FOLLOW UP TO CODE OFFICER EVERY 30 DAYS.
AND PART OF THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IS THE PAPERWORK MUST BE, UH, THE CONTRACTORS, THE SCOPE OF WORK WITHIN 15 DAYS INSTEAD OF, 'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY TIMELINE.
OH, I SAID 30 DAYS, BUT I COULDN'T DO 15TH, NO.
30 DAYS TO BILL, BUT HE HAS TO HAVE THIS.
I SAID 90 DAYS TO REPAIR AND I SAID 30 DAYS TO PROVIDE ALL THE PAPERWORK NECESSARY CHAIR FAILED TO INCLUDE THE, THAT, SO 30 DAYS WAS PART OF THAT.
OKAY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T HEAR THAT EITHER.
THAT'S CHAIR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILING TO INCLUDE THE 30 DAY NOTICE.
ARE WE CLEAR ON THE MOTION OR DO I NEED TO REPEAT IT? VERY GOOD.
SAYS I WOULD ASK THAT YOU REPEAT IT JUST TO CONFIRM.
THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 74 38 KINGSTON AVENUE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, BUT IT IS FEASIBLE BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.
AND IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6 SUB CODES 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, THAT THE PROPERTY IS TO BE REPAIRED IN 90 DAYS.
A FENCE IS TO BE BUILT AROUND IT TO SECURE.
ALL PERMITS ARE TO BE DRAWN PRIOR TO WORK.
UH, A SCOPE OF WORK IS PROVIDED TO CODE OFFICER IN 30 DAYS, UH, AND THE 30 DAY FOLLOW UP TO THE CODE OFFICER EVERY, EVERY 30 DAYS.
SO MR. CHAIR, IT IT IS, IT IS 30 DAYS STATUS REPORTS UNTIL THE YES.
UH, JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT, LET'S DO A ROLL CALL.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF SIX TO ZERO, MR. CARILLO, GO TO WORK, GET IT DONE, AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN BEAT THE 90 DAYS
AND FINAL A ITEM BASICALLY IS ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS. DO WE HAVE ANY, WELL, ACTUALLY MY AGENDA SAYS WE'VE GOT GUIDELINES, POLICIES, AND PROCEDURES.
ARE THERE ANY GUIDELINES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WE NEED TO ADDRESS AT THIS TIME? IF NONE, THE NEXT ITEM IS ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS. YES, WE DO HAVE AN ADMINISTRATIVE.
I, WHAT I WANT TO DO IS I WANT TO CLARIFY, KNOW SOME OF YOU'RE NEW.
UM, SO WHAT I WANT TO DO IS CLARIFY WHAT A SAFE OFFICER IS.
UM, THE SAFE OFFICER IS THE SAN ANTONIO, I WANNA SAY IT'S FEAR-FREE ENVIRONMENT.
SO SAFE OFFICERS, UM, ARE KIND OF LIKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD PATROL OFFICERS.
UM, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT IF THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY, THEY ARE AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION MEETINGS.
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF REPORT OR SOME TYPE OF DISTURBANCE OR, UM, CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, THEY WILL PROBABLY BE THE FIRST ONES ON THE SCENE.
IN REGARDS TO TALKING TO THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UM, SAFE OFFICERS THERE ARE SAFE, THERE'S A SAFE UNIT AT EACH, UM, SUBSTATION.
SO WEST HAS A SAFE OFFICE, EAST, NORTH, PERU, CENTRAL SOUTH.
UM, THE DART UNIT WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE SAFE OFFICERS AND THOSE SAFE UNITS AND, UM, EXECUTING THEIR WARRANTS, SECURING THOSE LOCATIONS.
UH, SO OUR CODE OFFICERS, UH, N-H-S-D-D-H-S HEALTH, UM, ANIMAL CARE SERVICES AND WHOEVER ELSE NEED, NEED TO GO ON THE PROPERTY AND CONDUCT THAT INSPECTION.
UM, SO WHEN THERE ARE SAFE OFFICERS THAT COME HERE TO, UH, SPEAK ABOUT A PROPERTY, IT'S USUALLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE OF THAT PROPERTY.
UH, THAT, UH, KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY
[01:35:01]
HAVE IS PRETTY EXTENSIVE IN THAT IT'S, UM, WHILE THERE'S A UNIT OF SAFE OFFICERS, EACH UNIT HAS OFFICERS IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS.SO, UM, LIKE THE OFFICERS THAT WE HAD HERE SPEAKING TODAY, THEY PROBABLY WORK THAT AREA.
SO THEY ARE, UM, WELL VERSED IN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH LIKE, SAY, UH, COLIMA OR ONE OF THE OTHER PROPERTIES THAT WAS COMING IN FRONT OF YOU.
DOES THAT, I I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT KIND OF CLARIFIES WHAT SAFE OFFICERS ARE.
UH, THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN TRAFFIC.
WE DO HAVE A WHOLE SEPARATE DIVISION ON TRAFFIC, A WHOLE SEPARATE DIVISION IN REGARDS TO ROBBERY, IN REGARDS TO SAFE OFFICERS, IT'S A WHOLE SEPARATE UNIT.
SO WHEN A SAFE OFFICER IS OUT, THEN THE ASSUMPTION CAN BE MADE THAT, UM, SERVICES WERE PROVIDED.
UM, I CAN TELL YOU AT, AT ANY DART INSPECTION, THE, THOSE, THOSE SERVICES IN REGARDS TO NHSD OR DHS HOUSING ASSISTANCE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE.
THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY HAVE TO TELL ME, HEY ERIC, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY HERE.
THERE'S NOBODY THAT WANTS OUR SERVICES.
EVEN IF NOBODY WANTS THE SERVICES, THOSE SERVICES HAVE TO BE, UM, OFFERED, OFFERED AND DENIED OR DECLINED.
AND I USUALLY GET A SUMMARY FROM, UH, DHS OR NHSD OR BOTH DEPENDING ON WHO WAS ACTING THAT DAY, UM, THAT THE SERVICES WERE DENIED OR WHAT SERVICES WERE PROVIDED.
AND IN THE CASE OF OUR SERVICE OFFICERS IN DISTRICT NINE
I MEAN, EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND I'M SEEING A SAFE OFFICER.
UH, AND IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN YOUR HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION OR ANY ASSOCIATION, LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, YOUR SAFE OFFICERS NEED TO BE AT THOSE MEETINGS.
IF YOU GO TO THOSE MEETINGS, UH, AND IN MY CASE, I'VE GOT THEIR TELEPHONE NUMBER, UH, BECAUSE THEY RESPOND A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN SOME OTHER TIMES BECAUSE THEY'RE PART OF THE COMMUNITY.
UH, AND, AND, AND, AND ALSO ONE VITAL IMPORTANCE IN, IN ADDITION TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND CODE, IT IS CODE, UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, ONE AND THE SAME.
AND THEN SAPD OR FIRST RESPONDERS THAT BRING PROPERTIES TO THE DART UNIT.
SO, UM, IF THERE ARE ISSUES GOING ON AT NIGHT OR SOMETHING AND SAPD HAS ARE, ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE PROPERTY, WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS THOSE OTHER DIVISIONS GO TO THE SAFE OFFICERS AND SAY, HEY, CAN YOU GUYS BRING THIS UP? HEY, DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON? AND THEN THOSE PROPERTIES ARE BROUGHT TO THE DART UNIT AND THEN THE DART UNIT, YOU KNOW, REVIEWS THOSE PROPERTIES AND MAKES DETERMINATIONS.
THAT WAS VERY ELEGANT CONSIDERING I'M THE ONE THAT'S SENT THE EMAIL.
JUST THE BODY OF PROOF THAT I DO HAVE A SAFE OFFICER IN MY PHONE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D SEEN IT IN THE REPORTS.
'CAUSE TYPICALLY I ONLY SEE DART, OH YEAH.
LET'S SAY IF, IF IT'S A DART, IT'S A SAFE OFFICER.
UM, AND NINE, NINE AND A HALF TIMES OUTTA 10, IT'S A SAFE OFFICER.
IF, IF THERE'S A SAP D'S COMING TO SPEAK TO YOU, IT'S PROBABLY A SAFE OFFICER.
BUT THEY'RE NOT THE ONE AND THE SAME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY W WHAT DO YOU MEAN? LIKE, THEY'RE NOT THE SAME PERSON.
IT'S TWO DIFFERENT UNITS OR TWO DIFFERENT DIVISIONS WITHIN, UM, THE DEPARTMENT.
DISCUSS YOUR SITUATION IN PUBLIC.
WE WE'RE GONNA DO IT IN, IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
IF YOU WANNA DO IT NOW, WE HAVE TO BECAUSE IT'S REQUIRE LEGAL.
WE'RE ACTUALLY, UH, SEEKING SOME INFORMATION OR GUIDANCE, I GUESS.
UH, SO WE'D LIKE TO ASK FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, UH, IF WE COULD.
THE TIME IS PRESENTLY 10 49 ON 14 MARCH.
UH, THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD WILL RECESS FROM THE OPEN MEETING AND CONVENE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL, UH, COUNSEL TO DISCUSS ATTORNEY AND CLIENT MATTERS PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 5 1 0 7 0.07, ONE OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
SO WE'LL MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
TIME IS NOW 1103, ACCORDING TO MY CLOCK AND NOT THE CLOCK ON THE WALL, UH, ON 14 MARCH, 2024.
AND THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD WILL NOW RECONVENE AN OPEN SECTION.
NO OFFICIAL ACTION WAS TAKEN IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UH, ARE THERE ANY ISSUES THAT WE HAVE NOT DISCUSSED THAT WE'VE LIKE TO DISCUSS AT THIS TIME WITHOUT OBJECTION.
WE ARE DONE BY UNANIM, OH, SORRY.
CREW WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO THE BSB MEMBERSHIP.
WAS APPOINTED TO THE BSB ON MARCH 7TH, REPRESENTING COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO.
[01:40:01]
HE FILLS THE RETIRED PERSON CATEGORY AND JOINS PANEL A.MR. GRIMES IS SCHEDULED FOR BSB TRAINING NEXT WEEK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
HIS APPOINTMENT REPLACES MS. BROWN POSITION AS A DE THE DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE.
WE DID ENCOURAGE MS. BROWN TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR THE AT LARGE VACANCY, AND SHE HAS COMPLETED THAT APPLICATION AND HOPEFULLY FILLS WILL FILL THAT VACANCY.
AND BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THIS BOARD, WE ALL ENDORSE THAT RECOMMENDATION AS AT LARGE.
WELL, MR. ANDERS SAID IT'S OFFICIAL.
SO WITH MR. ANDES SAYS IT'S OFFICIAL.
I GUESS WE'LL GIVE THE COUNCIL A CHANCE TO VOTE STILL
PEOPLE ALSO
UH, AND NOW WITHOUT OBJECTION AND BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, ONE QUESTION.
WHOA, WE'RE NOT, NO, IT'S ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT THE TALK.
UM, THERE'S NO MORE APPLICATIONS IF I UNDERSTOOD THAT RIGHT? EXCEPT FOR MS. BROWNS FOR THESE OTHER VACANCIES? NO, THERE'S ONE IN, UH, THAT IS CORRECT.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER PENDING APPLICATIONS FOR DISTRICT ONE, SIX OR EIGHT.
WE DO HAVE SEVERAL AT LARGE POSITIONS.
I'M SORRY, APPLICATIONS WE'RE JUST PENDING FOR THE, UM, PLANNING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE TO MEET AGAIN TO REVIEW THOSE APPLICATIONS.
SO DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THAT LITTLE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE? I DO NOT.
I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.
I CAN FOLLOW UP TO SEE WHEN THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD.
JUST TO ANSWER, ANSWER MS. BROWN'S QUESTION, UM, I DON'T HAVE A HUNDRED PERCENT CONFIRMATION, BUT, UH, THERE IS A MEETING ON MARCH 28TH, I BELIEVE.
UH, THE BSP APPOINT APPOINTEES WILL BE ON THAT BOARD THAT DAY, BUT AS SOON AS WE CONFIRM, WE WILL LET YOU KNOW ON MARCH 28TH.
SO IS THAT FOR ME TO SHOW UP HERE TOO? OR THE NEW APPOINTEE? NO, THAT'S THE PCDC COMMITTEE MEETING FROM COUNCIL.
SO AGAIN, WE WILL INFORM YOU OF THE DATES AS SOON AS THEY ARE ESTABLISHED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OVER ALL THESE YEARS TOO.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD OF 14 MARCH OF 2024.
IS THAT WE ADJOURN? ANY DISCUSS? NO.
ALRIGHT, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? NO PUBLIC INPUT.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION? SAY AYE.
MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY WITH CONSENT OF CITY STAFF.
