THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL SERVICE CONNECTED TO THE ACCESSORY AND THERE IS NO WATER SERVICE CONNECTED TO TO THE ACCESSORY.
WE DO HAVE A REP, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT WILL BE SPEAKING REGARDING THE, UH, CRIMINAL ASPECT OF THE DEPART.
WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT THE, UH, PHOTO PRESENTATION.
SO THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN ON MARCH 29TH, 2019 AND JULY 2ND, 2019.
[00:10:03]
HERE YOU SEE ON THE MAP, HERE'S 9 23 CHICAGO.THE ACCESSORIES LOCATED IN THE REAR PORTION OF THE DESTRUCTION.
AND AGAIN, TODAY WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE, UH, EXCUSE ME, AT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, THE FRONT ELEVATION THAT WAS TAKEN MARCH 29TH, 2010.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE STRUCTURE IS LACKING.
THE WALLS ARE LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT LANDING, THE STEPS THERE AT THE BOTTOM, EITHER BROKEN AND SEPARATING, CAUSING UNSAFE NEEDS OF THE INGRESS AND EGRESS.
THIS IS THE REAR END SIDE ELEVATION.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S DETERIORATED WOOD.
YOU CAN SEE THERE'S PART OF THE WOOD BACK HERE.
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TRIED TO REPLACE SOME OF THAT, WHICH IS ALSO DETERIORATING AND ROTTING A CLOSER PHOTO OF THAT REAR ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE THE GAS METER, HOWEVER, THE GAS METER IS CONNECTED TO THE MAIN NOT TO ACCESSORY AND SEE HOW MUCH THE GRADE IS IS COMING UP ABOVE THE, UM, BOTTOM PORTION OF THE SO PLATE.
UM, COMING UP TO THE, UH, EXTERIOR WALL IN THE REAR.
AGAIN, THE WALLS ARE LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
THERE'S A LOT OF BROUGHT, LOOKS LIKE A LOT DUE TO, UH, JUST OVER TIME OF WEATHER DAMAGE.
WATER DAMAGE DUE TO THE EVIDENCE HAVE BROKEN MEMBERS AGAIN CLOSER.
THE DECKING IS, UM, THERE'S, UH, THE ROOF DECKING, EXCUSE ME, IS, IS SHOWING SIGNS OF, UM, WATER DAMAGE.
UM, THERE'S SOME ROT ON THE EAVES AND THE FASCIA BOARDS.
UH, SOME OF THE FACIAL BOARDS ARE MISSING.
OKAY, HERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE DECKING IS IS SAGGING RIGHT HERE.
AND THAT'S, UM, DUE TO THE FURTHER DAMAGE YOU HAVE BROKEN MEMBERS THERE SEPARATING FROM THE FRONT.
THIS IS GOING INTO THE FRONT DOOR.
ONE DOOR DOES NOT APPEAR THAT IT WAS BEING USED, WHICH IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, IT WAS BEING BLOCKED BY SOME OF THE FURNITURE THAT WAS INSIDE, UH, WHICH WAS ALSO CAUSING UNSAFE MEANS OF EGRESS AND INGRESS.
THE DATE OF OUR INSPECTION ON, ON, ON MARCH 29TH, IT APPEARED THAT PEOPLE WERE LIVING IN THERE.
AND AGAIN, WHEN I RETURNED ON JULY 2ND, IT DID APPEAR THAT PEOPLE WERE STAYING THERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE, THE WOOD FLOORS THERE.
UM, THEY ARE, THERE ARE WEATHERED.
THERE ARE, THEY'RE SOFT AND SPONGY.
UM, THERE WERE SOME KITCHEN CABINETS, HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO SINK.
UM, THERE WAS NO BATHROOM, THERE WAS NO TOILET.
UM, SO THERE WAS NO PLACE WHERE ANYBODY WASHED THEIR HANDS.
UM, FOR ANY ANYBODY THAT WAS OCCUPYING THE STRUCTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE HOLES IN THE WALL.
UM, THERE IT DID APPEAR TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE, BUT IT WAS, IT WAS NOT WORKING.
THIS WAS A SIDE DOOR BLOCKED OFF.
AGAIN, IN CASE OF PANIC OR FIRE.
UM, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO EXIT THAT.
THAT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE CAN SEE HERE THE, THE HOW WORN THE FLOOR IS.
IT IS, UM, AGAIN, SOFT AND SPONGY.
WHEN YOU'RE WALKING ON IT, YOU CAN FEEL THE FLOOR GIVING, UM, UNDER YOUR FEET AND YOU SEE SEPARATION THERE.
THE FLOOR STARTS TO SEPARATE AND IT COULD BE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FLOOR JOISTS MAY BE TOO FAR SEPARATED.
UM, NOT PROVIDING, UH, PROPER SUPPORT YOU SEE THERE, JUST STEPPING ON IT, HOW IT SEP THE FLOOR SEPARATES.
SO THIS IS THAT SECOND DOOR I WAS SPEAKING OF.
IT IS BLOCKED OFF WITH FURNITURE, UH, IN CASE OF PANIC.
UM, IT IS CAUSING UNSAFE MEANS OF, UH, UNSAFE MEANS OF INGRESS AND EGRESS GRAFFITI.
INSIDE THERE IS SEPARATION OF SHEET ROCK.
BROKEN HOLES THROUGHOUT THE WALLS, UH, POORLY KEPT, POORLY MAINTAINED.
THIS IS THAT OTHER DOOR I WAS SPEAKING OF.
YOU CAN SEE THE STEPS ARE BROKEN.
AGAIN, THAT'S THE AREA THAT THAT WAS BLOCKED OFF WITH FURNITURE BACK HERE.
THERE IS SOME SAGGING IN IN THE ROOF HERE.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO SEE DUE TO THE TREE LIMBS HERE, BUT YOU SEE THE, THE OVERALL, UM, CONDITIONS OF THE WALL LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION, DETERIORATION AND ROTTING.
[00:15:04]
BUT TO RECAP, THE STRUC STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 9 23 CHICAGO BOULEVARD IS IN VIOLATION.ACCESSION STRUCTURE, EXCUSE ME, AT 9 23 CHICAGO BOULEVARD IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56 IN SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, AND 15, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL 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 OR OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSES A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 9 23 CHICAGO BOULEVARD.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? NONE.
WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHICAGO, UH, EXCUSE ME, THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I AM A POLICE OFFICER WITH SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT ON THE EAST SAFE UNIT, WHICH WORKS WITH THE, THE DART PROGRAM IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THESE, UM, HABITUAL HOUSES THAT CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THE REASON THIS ADDRESS CAME TO OUR ATTENTION IS THE CALLS FOR SERVICE WERE CONTINUALLY COMING OUT.
AT FIRST, WE BELIEVE THE DISTURBANCES WERE COMING FROM STEMMING FROM, UM, I BELIEVE IT WAS A NEPHEW OR A SON OF THE HOMEOWNER WHO WAS ALLOWED TO STAY IN THIS BACK RESIDENCE.
THERE WERE MULTIPLE CALLS FOR DISTURBANCES BETWEEN HIM AND HIS SIGNIFICANT OTHER, UM, WOULD BE IN BETWEEN, UH, ASSAULT CALLS THEM YELLING AND SCREAMING IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE DISTURBANCE CARRYING OUT TO THE STREET.
AND SO THE NEIGHBORS WERE REALLY CONCERNED.
UM, WHEN WE, I DID THE RESEARCH OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS IN THIS HOUSE.
UH, THERE'S SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF THE FAMILY LIVING IN THIS HOUSE, WHICH I BELIEVE IN BETWEEN THE BACK RESIDENCE AND THE FRONT RESIDENCE.
UM, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES THAT THE POLICE HAD WITH THIS RESIDENCE WAS, UM, THE NEPHEW THAT I HAD MENTIONED BEFORE WHO IS NOW IN JAIL.
UM, AND SO I, I WENT AND DID ANOTHER RESEARCH ON HOW MANY CALLS FOR SERVICE FOR POLICE SERVICE HAD BEEN MADE SINCE THE DART AND SINCE THE, THE DART ON MARCH 29.
THERE HAVE BEEN 10 MORE CALLS FROM THERE.
UH, ONE AS RECENT AS YESTERDAY, IT APPEARS THERE WAS AN INTOXICATED INDIVIDUAL INSIDE THE HOME WHO WAS BOTHERED BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER RESIDENCE GIRLFRIEND IN THE HOME THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT THERE.
SO THE FAMILY DISTURBANCES DEFINITELY CONTINUE.
THE MAIN PROBLEM, WHICH I'M GONNA IDENTIFY AS JAY DELGADO WAS FINALLY, UH, PUT IN JAIL AGAIN AFTER HE HIT AND CHOKED HIS SIGNIFICANT OTHER.
AGAIN, HE'S ALSO A KNOWN BURGLAR AND SO HE VIOLATED HIS PAROLE AND IS STILL IN JAIL FOR THAT AS WELL.
SO FOR THE OWNER, UM, WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE THE OWNER, UM, SHE ALLOWS THE FAMILY MEMBERS TO TO LIVE AT THE HOUSE AND THE GENERATIONS, BUT IT'S CONTINUALLY DISTURBING THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, NOT ONLY HAVING A CONVICTED BURGLAR LIVING WITH YOU, PUTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT RISK FOR HOME BURGLARIES.
UM, HE'S ALSO A DOCUMENTED GANG MEMBER AND THE FAMILY DISTURBANCES, ASSAULTS, THE FAMILY VIOLENCES CONTINUE BECAUSE OF THE GENERATIONS OF FAMILY LIVING IN THIS HOUSE AND IN THE FRONT HOUSE TOGETHER.
I DID ALSO CHECK THE RECENT CALLS FOR SERVICE AND ACCORDING TO THE POLICE DOCUMENTATIONS, WHEN THEY MAKE CONTACT, THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE LIVING IN THIS BACK HOUSE.
WOULD I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE OFFICER? I DO.
SINCE THE DART, THERE HAVE BEEN 10 MORE CALLS.
PRIOR TO THE OTHER CALLS? YES SIR.
WHAT WOULD IS THE TOTAL, LET ME SEE.
I ONLY WENT BACK AS FAR AS, UM, TWO YEARS.
ALRIGHT, AS FAR AS YOU WENT BACK.
[00:20:07]
WERE ON THE LIST BEFORE THE DART AND THAT COVERS TWO YEARS, 33 CALLS FOR SERVICE.I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ANSWER THIS ONE, BUT WHEN YOU GUYS MADE CALLS THERE, DID YOU GET ANYBODY OUT OF THIS RESIDENCE LIVING IN IT? BECAUSE IT'S BEEN TESTIFIED THAT THERE'S NOBODY WHEN THEY SHOWED UP, BUT THERE'S EVIDENCE.
WHAT WE DO AS POLICE OFFICERS IS WE DOCUMENT WHAT WE SEE AND FINE.
AND YES, THERE WERE DOCUMENTATIONS OF OFFICERS SAY I SPOKE WITH SO-AND-SO WHO WAS IN LIVING IN THE BACK HOUSE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE BOARD? THANK YOU MA'AM.
THANK YOU YODA GONZALEZ, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
IS IT OKAY IF YOU SIT THERE AND TALK, MA'AM? WOULD THAT BE BETTER FOR YOU? OKAY, THANK YOU.
TELL US WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THE BOARD, MA'AM.
UH, PROBABLY THE LITTLE BACK HOUSE JUST NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.
YOU MAY BE SEATED IF THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE.
MARIA LANIS AT THE RECORD SHOW THAT MS. LANIS HAS NO COMMENTS TO MAKE AT THIS TIME.
UH, CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT 9 2 3 CHICAGO BOULEVARD IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 2 5 8 11 12 15 FOR THE ACCESSORY AND FOR THE REASON STATED BY THE CODE OFFICER IS BEYOND FEASIBILITY OF BEING REPAIRED AND THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS AND REMAIN VACANT.
UNTIL THEN, WOULD YOU ACCEPT A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE VACATE IMMEDIATELY AND STAY VACANT? MOTION IS MADE TO, UH, DEMOLISH TO VACATE AND STAY VACANT AND DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 9 23 CHICAGO BULL BALLARD, UH, FOR THE REASONS OF SUB CODE 2 5 8, 11, 12 AND 15.
DO I HAVE A SECOND MOTION MADE? AND SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.
MOTION IS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
OUR NEXT CASE IS 32 0 7 STEVEN FOSTER.
MY NAME'S ANNETTE LOPEZ, CODE ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
THE PROPERTY BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 32 0 7 STEVEN FOSTER FOR SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE VIOLATION SECTIONS 3 0 2 0.7 ACCESSORY STRUCTURES, WHICH STATES ALL ACCESSORY STRUCTURES INCLUDING DETACHED, GARAGE AND FENCES SHALL BE MAINTAINED STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND GOOD REPAIR.
THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS N C B 1 4 9 5 6 BLOCK THREE, LOT 40, LOCATED IN COUNCIL DISTRICT THREE.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS JESUS A ORTIZ WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 32 0 7 STEVEN FOSTER, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 3.
[00:25:04]
SO THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WAS CONDUCTED ON APRIL 1ST, 2019 AND FOUND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE TO HAVE DAMAGE EXTERIOR WALLS.A NOTICE WAS POSTED, UM, ON THE PROPERTY AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT SITS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS A FRONT VIEW OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
YOU COULD SEE THAT THERE IS SOME DAMAGE TO THE SIDING, LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION.
YOU COULD SEE THAT, UH, THE ACCESSORY, UH, THE SIDING HERE IS STARTING TO DETACH.
AND THIS IS JUST A CLOSEUP, THE PICTURE OF THE NOTICE THAT WAS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY AND IT WAS POSTED ON THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THIS IS A REINSPECTION CONDUCTED ON APRIL 23RD, AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE REMAINED IN THE SAME CONDITION A DOOR HANGER WAS PLACED.
AND THIS IS ANOTHER RE-INSPECTION CONDUCTED ON MAY 20TH, WHERE THE OFFICER DID MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TENANT, UM, ADVISED OF THE PENDING CASE FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
AND HE ADVISED THAT THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO MAKE REPAIRS TO THE PROPERTY.
NOW THE TENANT DID ADVISE THAT, UM, THEIR ISSUE WITH TRYING TO MAKE THEIR REPAIRS WERE, UH, THERE IS A BE INFESTATION INSIDE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
SO WE DID ALSO GIVE THEM NOTICE FOR THE OVERGROWN VEGETATION, BUT YOU COULD SEE THAT ALONG THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THEY COULDN'T GET TOO CLOSE.
THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO TREAT, UH, THE B INFESTATION AS WELL TO FINISH THE REPAIRS.
THIS IS ANOTHER REINSPECT IN JUNE 1ST, THE REMAINS IN THE SAME CONDITION.
A RECENT INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON JULY 29TH.
UM, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE TENANT, WHICH IS THE OWNER'S SON WHO IS RECITING AT THE LOCATION.
AND THEY HAVE STARTED TO REPAIR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND THEY'VE REMOVED THE ITEMS THAT WERE INSIDE CAUSING THE SIDING TO SEPARATE.
AND THEY HAD PLACED THIS, UH, PIECE OF SIDING.
THEY REMOVED ALL THE, UM, DEBRIS THAT WAS HERE AND EFFORTS IN TRYING TO MAKE THE REPAIRS, AND THAT WAS, WAS INSIDE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
AND THEY DO HAVE THE REST OF THE MATERIAL TO FINISH MAKING THEIR REPAIRS.
AGAIN, THEIR SETBACK WAS JUST THE B INFESTATION THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO TREAT.
AND THEN THEY'LL, UH, BE FINISHING UP MAKING REPAIRS TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BE REPAIRED.
UH, THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 32 0 7.
DOES BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH THE OFFICER? I DO.
WHAT IS, WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE BEHIND THE, THE TWO STRUCTURE? THIS ONE? NO, GO.
ALL THE, THE, UM, THAT ONE THERE, IT'S AN, IT'S AN ATTACHED, UM, THAT HOLDING THE BUILDING UP OR SOMETHING? NO, IT'S JUST AN ATTACHMENT THAT THEY HAVE BUILT.
UM, IT'S, IT'S A PART OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
IT'S LIKE ANOTHER, UM, STORAGE ROOM.
WAS THAT PART OF THE INSPECTION? BECAUSE IT DOES, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE, UH, WHEN YOU PUT IN THERE THERE'S NO PROTECTIVE CODE.
YES, THAT'S A PART OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
UM, IT'S CONNECTED TO THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.
SO THIS WHOLE THING, UH, LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION.
EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE REPAIR, REPAIRED, THAT'S INCLUDED WITHIN, OKAY.
[00:30:01]
DID YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE MISSING WINDOW? UH, YES.THAT, THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING.
UM, UNDER THE SECTION, UH, WINDOWS, LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION, ROTTED SIDING, WOOD MEMBERS.
LONNIE ORTIZ, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
MY ADDRESS IS 32 0 7 STEVEN FOSTER.
I REALLY HAVE NOTHING MUCH TO ADD, BUT WE HAVE THE SIDING AS YOU SAW.
UM, I ALREADY ALSO HAVE THE PAINT.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING IT DONE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION TO SHOW US WHAT YOU ANTICIPATE THE TOTAL SCOPE OF WORK TO BE? UH, NOT EXACTLY.
LIKE I SAID, I HAVE THE SIDING ALREADY PURCHASED.
WHAT YOU SEE RIGHT THERE, THAT WAS A, A DOOR THAT I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO REPLACE THAT.
SO I GUESS WHATEVER THAT WOULD'VE COST.
AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, I ALREADY PURCHASED THE PAINT, SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF PAINTING IT.
NOW HAVE YOU PURCHASED THE DOOR? DID YOU SAY YOU HAD NOT? I HAD NOT.
THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE ONE THING I DON'T HAVE.
I HAVE THE SIDING ALREADY PURCHASED TO REPLACE EVERYTHING THAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND HAVE THE PAINT.
SO IT WOULD REALLY, IT'S JUST THE DOOR.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION TO SHOW THE BOARD THAT YOU HAVE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS? ARE YOU FINANCIALLY ABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS? MYSELF? UM, WELL IF IT'S JUST THE DOOR, SURE.
WELL, THE DOOR IS THE ONLY THING THAT YOU HAVE REMAINING.
YOU'VE GOT PAINT, YOU'VE GOT WINDOWS.
YEAH, I HAVE PAINT, I HAVE THE BOARDS.
EVERYTHING ELSE TAKEN CARE OF.
DOES, DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. ORTIZ? I GOT, I GOT SOME, IF YOU REPLACE THE DOOR, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA PUT AT THE BUS OUTSIDE THIS DOOR? YOU CAN'T JUST PUT A DOOR THERE AND NOT PUT SOMETHING OUT HERE.
'CAUSE IF SOMEBODY OPENS THAT DOOR, WHERE ARE THEY GONNA GO? WELL, IT THAT THE TOP PART.
THE IT, THE BOTTOM PART WAS A SHED.
THE TOP PART WAS A, A CLUBHOUSE.
IT'S BEEN THERE SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID, MAYBE LIKE 20 YEARS OR SOMETHING.
SO IT THAT THE TOP PART IS NOT REALLY BEING USED.
THERE'S A FEW ITEMS IN THERE, BUT IT'S NOT, NOBODY GOES UP THERE.
YEAH, BUT YOU, YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE GONNA REPLACE THE DOOR.
IT ISN'T THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK YOU NEXT.
THAT DOESN'T, THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE TO ME.
HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE YOU TO DO THE REPAIRS TO PAINT? HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE YOU TO COMPLETE THE WHOLE THING? NOT EXACTLY SURE.
I NEED A BIT OF HELP FROM MY FATHER WHO'S THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE, BUT I SHOULDN'T BE LONG.
I GUESS YOU GOT A TIMELINE WE CAN'T GIVE YOU FOREVER, YOU KNOW THAT I UNDERSTAND.
QUESTION INFESTATION YOU ALREADY TOOK CARE OF.
UM, FOR THE MOST PART, I HAVE ALREADY SPRAYED THE BEES.
I SAW THAT THEY HAVE RETURNED.
UM, I CAN CONTINUE TO SPRAY THEM.
UH, YES, BECAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS WAS THAT YOU WERE DELAYING FIXING THE STRUCTURE OF YEAH, REALLY.
I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE BEES WOULD ATTACK WHEN I FIXED IT.
BUT AFTER WE DID DECIDE I REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM, THEY WERE FINE.
YOU SAY THAT, UH, IT'S A CLUBHOUSE, A SECOND STORY RIGHT HERE? YEAH, IT WAS FROM WHEN I WAS A KID.
UH, SO THE STRUCTURE'S STRONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO PUT A DOOR THERE? YEAH, LIKE I SAY, IT'S NOT BEING USED.
THERE'S NO CHILDREN THAT ARE PLAYING THERE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
UH, YOU WERE PROBABLY SENT IN A NOTICE OR YOUR CODE OFFICER ADVISED YOU THAT WHEN YOU CAME UP HERE OKAY.
THAT YOU NEED, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO REPAIRS OR THE LIKES THAT YOU NEED, UH, SCOPE OF WORK.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU MISSED IT OR IF YOU, YOU HAD, I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND.
I'VE NEVER BEEN THROUGH THIS PROCESS BEFORE.
BUT THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO YOU YES.
AND IT'S TOTALLY THERE FOR YOU TO, UH, WHEN YOU COME IN FRONT OF HERE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO A REPAIR, YOU HAVE TO PUT THE SCOPE OF WORK, COME UP AND SHOW US A SCOPE OF WORK OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING.
AND SECONDLY, AS YOU FINANCE CABLE BUILDING, MR. MR. CHAIR, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND REQUEST EXECUTIVE SESSION.
[00:35:02]
THE TIME IS NOW 9 45.WE WILL MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, WHICH GO AHEAD.
UH, IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE TALKED ABOUT THE, THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF CASES PER SE.
AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, UH, THERE IS, UH, NO DISCUSSION ON THE CASE PER SE, BUT WE DID GET SOME GUIDANCE ON, UH, ISSUES DEALING WITH VIOLATION OF CITY CODE.
SO THE CASE WAS NOT DISCUSSED OPENLY.
UH, ORTIZ, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME BACK UP AND, UH, IF WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR ANY ADDITIONAL INPUT FROM YOU.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY MISS ANY QUESTIONS? MR. ORTIZ? OKAY, MR. TARPER, GO AHEAD.
UH, MR. ORTIZ, DO YOU FEEL THAT IF YOU REPLACE THE SIDING AND, AND THE DOOR AND DO THOSE THINGS, THAT THE STRUCTURE ITSELF IS SOUND ENOUGH THAT IT'S SAFE FOR SOMEBODY TO BE IN? YES.
THE, THE STRUCTURE ITSELF IS SOUND.
WE CHECKED THE TWO BY FOURS AND EVERYTHING.
IT WAS REALLY JUST THE SIDING.
IT HAD, IT WAS NAILED ON, LIKE I SAID, OVER 20 YEARS AGO.
SO THERE WAS TILES LEANING AGAINST THAT WALL AS YOU SAW.
BUT ASIDE FROM THAT, WE SCREWED THE NEW BOARDS IN SO IT'S, UH, YOU KNOW, MORE SOUND THAN WITH JUST THE NAILS AND I'M, IT SHOULD BE FINE ALL THE WAY TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
IF SOME, IF CHILDREN WERE TO GO UP THERE THAT IT'S SAFE, IT'S SOUND.
YOU DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S ON SOUND.
UH, YOU STATED THAT YOU'RE READY TO GO AND FINISH A PROJECT,
BACKGROUND? I, I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW HOW TO DO ALL OF THAT MYSELF.
THAT'S NOT EXACTLY MY SKILLSET.
THAT'S WHY I REALLY NEED HIS HELP.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, UM, HE WORKS A LOT, SO IT'S JUST FINDING THE RIGHT TIME.
UH, I WOULD GET WITH MY COURT OFFICER TO FIND OUT IF I NEED ANY PERMITS FOR THIS IS THE FIRST TIME BEFORE YOU LEAVE HERE TODAY.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF MS. ORTIZ OR YOU MAY BE SEATED.
CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE, UH, PROPERTY AT, UM, UM, ABOUT THAT.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY AT 1207 STEPHEN FOSTER BE RESET, BROUGHT BACK AS A DEMOLITION CASE.
LEMME ASK A QUESTION TO THE CALLED OFFICER ON THE CASE.
THE FOUNDATION IS SOUND ON THIS STRUCTURE.
UH, WE DIDN'T TAKE INTERIORS DUE TO THE BE INFESTATION, SO I CANNOT TELL YOU THAT YOU DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT THE FOUNDATION STRUCTURE IS.
DO YOU KNOW IF THE VERTICAL STRUCTURES WERE SOUND, UM, IN LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS AND THE PROPERTY, IT DOES SEEM SOUND, IT'S NOT LEANING THE ONLY, UM, IS THE ATTACHED STORAGE, BUT IT DOES STEAM SOUND THROUGH THE EXTERIOR AND THE ROOF STRUCTURE.
UH, BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT APPEARS THAT FOUNDATION IS SOUND, VERTICALS WERE SOUND, AND THE ROOF IS SOUND, UH, WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER JUST GO AHEAD AND ORDER THE REPAIR.
UH, AND IF WE DO ORDER THE REPAIR, UH, AND THE REPAIRS ARE NOT MADE, THEN IT WOULD COME BACK TO US AS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE, UH, NOT ENTERTAIN THAT MOTION.
HOWEVER, I WILL PRESENT IT TO THE BOARD.
THE MOTION HAS BEEN MADE TO RESET THE CASE.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE A SECOND TO, TO RESET THE CASE.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TO RESET THE CASE, SAY AYE.
THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAYYY AYE HARPER.
THE CHAIR WILL ALSO GO TO NAY.
THEREFORE, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION TO RESET IS NOT PASSED.
UH, CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A SEPARATE MOTION.
I DECLARED THAT THE MAIN STRUCTURE AT, OH, I'M SORRY.
THE ACCESSORY AT 3 2 0 7 STEVEN FOSTER UNDER THE CODE 3 0 2 0.7 TO BE REPAIRED IS FEASIBLY SOUND TO DO SO.
[00:40:01]
REPAIRED WITHIN 30 DAYS WITH A IN INSPECTION BY CODE IN 15 DAYS.AND ALL PERMITS THAT ARE REQUIRED BE PULLED MOTION IS FOR A REPAIR IN 30 DAYS WITH A CODE INSPECTION IN 15 DAYS TO ASSURE THAT WORK IS BEING COMPLETED AND WITH ALL PERMITS, UH, ROUND, UH, REQUIRED TO BE OBTAINED BEFORE THE WORK IS DONE.
DO I HAVE A SECOND ON THAT MOTION? SECOND MOTION IS TO REPAIR IN 30 DAYS, UH, WITH PERMITS AND A RE-INSPECTION BY CODE OFFICER IN 15 DAYS AND A SECOND.

OBVIOUSLY I DON'T HAVE THE MEANS FOR IT NOW.

AS YOU'RE LOOKING TO THE HOUSE TOWARDS THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE GUTTERS STARTING TO FALL DOWN.
AGAIN, LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION.
AND THEN HERE AT THE BON CAN SEE WHERE THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN REPAIRED.
THIS IS THE LEFT HAND OR THE LEFT SIDE ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE SEPARATION HERE OF THE, UH, WALL COVERING.
THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN SECURED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER.
[01:20:01]
SAME SIDE.UH, YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A PORCH FRONT SIDE.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE SEPARATION ONCE YOU GET PAST THAT.
AND THEN HERE YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT WHERE THAT HOLE IS INSIDE ONE OF THE BEDROOMS. THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE SEPARATION HERE ALONG WHERE THE TWO WALLS MEET.
AND THEN YOU HERE AT THE TOP, YOU CAN SEE THE DETERIORATION AND WHERE THE ROOF HAS PARTIALLY COLLAPSED.
THEN AGAIN, A CLOSEUP OF THE FOUNDATION WHERE IT'S BEEN REPAIRED.
FOUNDATION ON THE BACK PORTION, UH, WHEN WE WALKED IN, THERE'S NO SUBFLOOR COVERING.
UH, WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T WALK ON IT SO WE WEREN'T FALL THROUGH.
BUT YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE REPAIRS TOOK PLACE FOR THE FOUNDATION WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNER, THE FOUNDATION, UH, HAS NOT BEEN COM, REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETED.
HE DID PROVIDE A CONTRACT FOR THE, UH, WORK BEING DONE ON THE FOUNDATION.
WHEN YOU WALK IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, THIS IS THE FIRST THING YOU SEE UP AT THE CEILING.
THERE'S THE WALL, THERE'S THE CEILING.
YOU SEE THERE'S, I GUESS AT ONE POINT THERE WAS WALLPAPER AND ALL THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED.
THE FRONT DOOR HAS BEEN, UH, SECURED WITH THE HEAD.
THIS IS THE FRONT LEFT BEDROOM, UH, WHERE THAT HOLE WAS, WHERE THE TREE, UH, YOU CAN SEE THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN DONE TO THE FOUNDATION, BUT THE SUBFLOOR HAS BEEN REMOVED.
AND JUST MISCELLANEOUS RUBBISH IN THE ROOM, THIS IS THAT ROOF, UM, THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN YOU GO PAST THE PORCH, THIS IS THE DAMAGE.
WHEN YOU GO PAST THAT ROOM TO THE, AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE HOUSE, THE FRONT RIGHT ROOM, THAT WOULD BE THIS ROOM.
HERE, YOU CAN SEE SOME BLOOD CRACKING HERE AT THE WALL ALSO BY THE SHIFT FITTING.
THE DAYLIGHT HERE THAT YOU CAN SEE IS JUST GLARE FROM THE WINDOW, SAME ROOM OR JUST TRASH AND DEBRIS IS JUST SCATTERED AROUND.
AS YOU MAKE IT PAST THAT ROOM, YOU'RE INSIDE THE, UH, WHAT WOULD BE THE LIVING ROOM AREA, OR I'M SORRY, DINING ROOM AREA.
AND IN THIS ROOM, THE ONLY THING IT HAS DAMAGE WAS JUST THE WALLPAPERS.
ONCE YOU MAKE IT PAST THIS ROOM, GOING TOWARDS THE KITCHEN AREA, THERE'S SOME HOLES ON THE FLOOR.
THEN THIS IS JUST A PICTURE OF THE CEILING.
THIS IS GOING TOWARDS THE BACK ROW.
THIS FLOOR RIGHT HERE IS VERY SPONGY WHEN WE'RE WALKING ON IT.
UH, WE TRY NOT TO STAY IN THIS ROOM VERY LONG.
WE JUST TOOK, TOOK THE PICTURES HOWEVER WE COULD.
SOME OF THE DOORS ARE BOARDED UP FROM THE INSIDE, SO LIMITED ACCESS, UH, TO THE HOUSE.
WE DID TAKE PIC SOME PHOTOS FROM THE, UH, WINDOW SIDES.
AND THEN WHEN WE MADE ENTRY THROUGH THE, UH, RESTROOM WINDOW.
UH, BUT HERE AT THE TOP, SAME ROOM, YOU CAN SEE THE DAYLIGHT DETERIORATION TO THE ROOF.
AND THEN HERE WHERE THE WALLS MEET, SEPARATION, THOSE SAME ROOMS AND WERE, UH, ROOF DAMAGE DAYLIGHT IN THIS BACK CORNER.
AND THEN RIGHT HERE YOU CAN SEE SEPARATION RATIO.
SOME OF THE, UH, WALL COVERINGS, OF COURSE CRACKING SHE BROUGHT, CAUSED BY THE SHIFTING.
AND THEN AGAIN, SOME MORE ROOF DAMAGE.
YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT HERE AT THE TOP, THE HOLE.
SOME WATER DAMAGE HERE TOWARDS THE BACK.
RIGHT HERE IS DAYLIGHT, SOME SEPARATION.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT GOING ALL DOWN THROUGH, UH, ALONG THE, UH, BATHTUB.
THERE'S A CLOSEUP OF THE, UH, DAYLIGHT SEPARATION BETWEEN THE WALLS.
THEN THIS IS THE OTHER CORNER OF THE, UH, BATHTUB.
THIS IS STILL THE BATHTUB AREA.
YOU CAN SEE SEPARATION GOING UP ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE BOWING ON THE COVERING IN THE RESTROOM.
I GUESS WHAT REPAIRS WERE BEING TAKING PLACE.
SOME OF THIS WAS REMOVED, THE SHEET ROCK COVERING.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, HOLES WHERE THE PLUMBING USED TO BE.
MISCELLANEOUS DEBRIS THROUGHOUT.
[01:25:01]
CAUSED BY WATER.THIS IS GOING OUT TOWARDS THE, UH, BACK OF THE HOUSE WHERE THE, UH, PARTIAL ROOF COLLAPSES.
SOME LACK OF WATER, I'M SORRY, SOME WATER DAMAGE.
AND OF COURSE, UH, LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION.
THERE IS NO FLOOR COVERING OTHER THAN THAT SHEET METAL THAT I TOOK A PICTURE OF.
AND THEN GOING TOWARDS THE BACK, YOU SEE SEPARATION HERE ON THE BACK.
THIS IS THE PICTURE PROTECT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE WHERE YOU CAN SEE JUST SHEET METAL AS A SUBFLOOR COVERING.
THEN MOST OF THE DOORS INSIDE THE HOUSE WAS BOARDED UP.
SO LIMITED A ACCESS IS TO THE, THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE AS AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HOW THEY BOARDED UP EVERY SINGLE ENTRY TO SOME OF THE ROOMS. THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, FRONT ELEVATION, THIS IS THE SIDE ELEVATION.
AND THEN THIS BACK PORTION TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS COLLAPSED.
RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE HAS HOLES IN THE FRONT PORTION OF THE ROOF.
THE DECKING GETS MISSING AND OR DAMAGED.
THE EXTERIOR WALLS LACK WEATHER PROTECTION, HAVE PARTIALLY SEPARATED WALLS AND DAMAGED SIDING.
THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN REPAIRED, MISSING DECKING IN THE PORCH AREA.
THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION AND THE REAR PORTION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE HAS COLLAPSED.
RECAP, THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT ONE 14 CINCINNATI ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15 FOR THE MAIN AND 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS ARE 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 NESS.
ORAL FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIR FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND PARTIAL DEMOLITION FOR THE ACCESSORY.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR ONE 14.
SINCE TODAY, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER MR. ZUNI? YES.
UH, I SEE WHERE AN INSPECTION STARTED ON JANUARY THE 25TH, 2017.
WHAT WAS THE DELAY? ALL THE WAY TO NOW? THE DELAY WAS, UH, A HARDSHIP CASE FOR, UH, FINANCIAL.
AND THEN AFTER THAT WE GAVE AN EXTENSION ONCE THE REPAIRS TO THE, UH, FOUNDATION STARTED.
AND THEN ONCE THE REPAIRS WERE NOT COMPLETED, WE PROCEEDED TO BRING THE CASE FORWARD TO THE BOARD.
SO DURING THE, UH, HARDSHIP, HOW MANY DAYS DO YOU GIVE HIM? I BELIEVE IT WAS, UH, NINE MONTHS HARDSHIP.
MR. STRANDIS, LEMME ASK YOU, UH, CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE SIX WHILE WE'RE DOING THAT, IS THERE A PERMIT PULLED ON THE FOUNDATION? YES, SIR.
HAS IT BEEN INSPECTED AS PER THE NOTES, IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED ONCE.
WATCH YOUR HEAD COUNCIL MEMBER, WILL YOU LOOK AT THIS AREA RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS NOT ANCHORED PROPERLY UNLESS THE CODE IS CHANGED.
IS THIS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE BOLTED TO THE FOUNDATION PIERCE? YES, SIR.
BUT THE, UH, REPAIRS IN THE FOUNDATION HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETED.
WELL, YOU PUT THE BOLT OR THE PLATE IN PRIOR TO PUTTING THE BEAMS ON.
AND IF THIS IS LIKE THIS, CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE 11 AND 12? AND THESE ARE THE SAME WAY.
THOSE ARE NOT PROPERLY ANCHORED TO THE FOUNDATION, IS THAT CORRECT? AS BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, YES SIR.
AND THE CODE COMPLIANCE OR THE CODE, NOT EVEN THE STATE CODE OR INTERNATIONAL CODE IS CHANGED, IS THAT CORRECT? TO, TO ANCHOR THESE TO THE PIERS? YES, SIR.
AS BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THAT'S CORRECT.
SO WHY IS THERE A, NOT A STOP ORDER UNTIL THIS IS CORRECTED?
[01:30:06]
I WILL GET WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTORS, UH, IN CHARGE OF THOSE TYPE OF INSPECTIONS AND THEN ISSUE, UH, THE PROPER NOTIFICATIONS TO STOP WORK IF DEEMED THAT IT REQUIRES IT.IF THIS ISN'T CORRECTED HERE, THEN NOTHING ELSE IS GONNA BE CORRECTED OR, OR FIXED.
AND IT MIGHT BE FIXED PROPERLY.
BUT IF IT'S NOT DONE HERE AND AS A CONTRACTOR, WHY AM I HAVING TO GO BY SPECIFIES? AND THIS ONE ISN'T AND THIS IS ON THE RADAR.
THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY GO IN THE GROUND TO ME, LIKE DOWN TO THE BEDROCK.
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE SITTING ON TOP OF THE GROUND, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE ONE OR TWO, WHERE YOU COULD SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE COLOR.
SOME LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD BEEN IN THE GROUND, BUT THEN THEY ROSE ABOVE IT.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH, WHICH, UH, PICTURE IT WAS.
BUT, UM, IT, IT DOESN'T, IT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT TO ME.
I, I CAN'T SEE HOW COKE COULD, COULD PASS THIS.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT OFFICER? THANK YOU FRANCIS NUNCIO, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
MY NAME IS FRANCIS NUNCIO AND I RESIDE AT 93 35 AUTUMN SUN.
UM, AS FAR AS THE HOUSE, UH, IS CONCERNED, THE HOUSE HAD BEEN VACANT AFTER MY MOM PASSED AND MY SISTER HAD LIVED THERE A FEW YEARS UNTIL SHE GOT ILL AND STARTED RECITING WITH MY OTHER SISTER.
A FEW MONTHS BEFORE I MET, UH, MR. VELA IN REFERENCE TO THE VIOLATIONS, THEY WERE STAYING WITH ME AT MY OWN HOME.
I HAD TWO ILL SISTERS AND THEN ONCE THEY, UM, WERE WELLING UP, I SENT 'EM BACK TO THE, MY OTHER SISTER'S HOUSE.
NOW, AS FAR AS THE FOUNDATION, I HAVE PICTURES 'CAUSE I WAS GOING, WE GO THERE EVERY DAY AND THEY HAD DUG BIG HOLES IN THE GROUND.
SO I HAVE PICTURES SHOWING THOSE POSTS ARE IN THE GROUND.
UM, BECAUSE THE OTHER TIME WE HAD FOUNDATION WORK, THEY PROBABLY WERE SITTING ON TOP.
BUT AS FAR AS THE OTHER WORK, UM, WE HAVE HIRED, WELL, I'VE HAD DIFFERENT BIDS FROM DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS.
MY SISTER EVEN PAID SOME PEOPLE FOR ESTIMATES AND THAT'S WHEN I STOPPED EVERYTHING.
'CAUSE I WORK ALL DAY EIGHT TO FIVE.
AND UNTIL I MET A CONTRACTOR THAT I COULD TRUST, LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN THAT DID THE FOUNDATION, HE WORKED IN THAT AREA AND I SAW OTHER HOMES HE HAD DONE.
AND THEN I CAME ACROSS THE OTHER CONTRACTOR HERE BECAUSE I WAS SCOPING OUT WORK THAT THEY WERE DOING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, KNOWING THE OLDER HOMES.
AND I SAW THEM DOING THE CONTRACT WORK ON A ROOF.
SO THAT'S WHY CONTACTED THE CONTRACTOR I HAVE HERE.
MY INTENTION IS TO FIX THE HOUSE.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MA'AM? IS THIS YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT HERE? IT'S A COMBINATION OF MY SISTERS AND MINE.
THERE'S OTHER, I'M SORRY, WHAT? THERE'S OTHER, UM, FUNDS AVAILABLE.
SHE'S RETIRED NOW FROM THE, SHE USED TO WORK FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO, AND THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE BID THAT YOU GOT FROM THE CONTRACTOR? UM, THAT'S A PARTIAL BID? YES.
AND IT SAYS IT'S, IT'S FOR, UM, THE PRINT IS SO SMALL HERE.
UM, UH, FOR WHATEVER WORK HE'S GONNA DO, IT'S GONNA BE $15,000 FOR THE START.
BUT HE HAS FOUNDATION IN HERE.
AND HE HAS, UM, OH, FRAMING, FRAMING THE, UH, FLOORS, THE FLOOR JOISTS, THE CEILING JOISTS, A DEMO, DEMO OF THE ROOF MATERIALS, UH, YOU KNOW, $15,000 FOR ALL THIS WORK, MA'AM.
I MEAN, I COULD SEE THE, THE FOUNDATION EATING THAT UP LIKE IN A HEARTBEAT.
YOU KNOW, REPAIRS ARE SO EXPENSIVE, MA'AM.
THIS IS FOR DEMO FRAMING, LABOR AND MATERIALS.
AND HE INCLUDED THE, THE PERMIT AND, AND THEN HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT AN ENGINEER'S FEE.
[01:35:01]
UH, IT IS IN PHASES.AND THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO TO GET THE STRUCTURE SOUND FOR COVID.
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE HERE, MA'AM.
HALF OF THE HOUSE IS IN GOOD CONDITION IF YOU WERE TO GO TO THE HOUSE.
I MEAN, YES, THE OTHER HALF IS COMING APART.
SOME OF IT I STARTED DEMOING MYSELF.
THAT'S WHY THE HOUSE WAS NOT INSULATED.
UM, AND IT WAS NOT WHAT SHEET BROUGHT, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A LOT OF THAT WALLPAPER TORN DOWN.
ALL THE WALLS UP HAD WALLPAPER FROM BACK THEN.
I PULLED IT DOWN MYSELF AS FAR AS LIKE IF YOU GO IN SOME OF THE ROOMS, YOU WILL SEE SOME OF THE CEILING.
'CAUSE I ACTUALLY PULLED THE SHEET ROCK OFF SO I COULD SEE WHAT THAT CEILING STRUCTURE LOOKED LIKE.
THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A LOT OF GAPS.
AND THAT'S WHY I MENTIONED TO THE PERSON WHO'S GONNA BE DOING THE WORK.
THAT WHOLE SIDE ALL HAS TO BE REBUILT.
SO WE ARE, UH, GOING THROUGH PHASES TO GET THE STRUCTURED SOUND.
AND THEN FROM THERE WE'RE GONNA DO THE OTHER PART.
I MEAN, IF WE'RE GONNA SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY, WE'RE LOOKING TO DO THE INTERIOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO ABOUT SLIDE 16 WHERE THE ROOF IS CAVED IN.
THAT'S GONNA BE ALL REFRAMED AND THE ROOF IS GONNA BE REDONE.
UH, WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE FOUNDATION WORK? 'CAUSE I NOTICED THIS IS FOR THE FRAMING, THE DRYING IN ALL THAT THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE THE FOUNDATION.
IS THAT A SEPARATE BID? AND HAS THAT BEEN PAID ALREADY? UM, THE, IN THE BEGINNING GOT PAID BY THIS OTHER PERSON AND HE SAID HE HAD, I MEAN, HE HASN'T COMPLETED IT BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE THE PORCH.
HE DIDN'T FINISH THE POST IN THE FRONT.
'CAUSE I WANTED THE PORCH DONE.
AND AS FAR AS THE SKIRTING, I DIDN'T WANT THE SKIRT PUT ON UNTIL THE STRUCTURE IS SOUND ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.
I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO FINISH THE BOTTOM BECAUSE I NEED TO GET THAT OTHER PART DONE.
SO HE'S SUPPOSED TO COME BACK AND HE, THE CONTRACTOR THAT'S GONNA BE WORKING WITH ME, HE'S WAS GONNA FINISH UP SOME OF THE FOUNDATION AS WELL.
BUT AGAIN, IT'S ALL IN PHASES.
BUT THE FOUNDATION AT THIS POINT'S NOT COMPLETE.
RIGHT? THE FOUNDATION'S IN PROGRESS AND THEN THIS WORK HAPPENS AFTER THAT.
AND THEN AFTER THIS YOU HAVE MORE WORK PLANNED.
MA'AM, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING.
IF THE FOUNDATION ISN'T FINISHED, HAVE YOU STARTED ANY OTHER WORK OTHER THAN THE FOUNDATION? NOT YET.
SO THE OTHER CONTRACTORS ARE WAITING FOR THE FOUNDATION TO BE FINISHED.
I DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
I DON'T DO FOUNDATION WORK, SO I AM GOING BY, HE DID PERMITTED WORK THAT, THAT WAS ALLOWED.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ALL STARTED MENTIONING ABOUT HOW THEY'RE TIED IN.
I DON'T KNOW, THAT KIND OF THING.
SO I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL YOU MENTIONED THAT IF YOU GO TO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF AND YOU LOOK AT IT, IT LOOKS, 'CAUSE HE'S GOT STILL, UM, A LOT OF, UM, WHAT DO THEY CALL IT, THOSE BARS, REBAR STICKING UP ON BOTH SIDES OF THAT POST HOLDING IN BETWEEN THE BEANS THAT ARE THERE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT ON YOUR PORCH.
ON SLIDE, UM, SIX, WHICH IS NOT A PROPER WAY THAT I KNOW OF AS A BUSINESS CON, I DO THIS FOR A LIVING.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT EITHER, SO I'M GOING BY WHAT THE CONTRACTORS ARE DOING TO, RIGHT.
WELL I'M JUST SAYING THIS IS HOLDING UP THE REST OF YOUR CONTRACT.
WHEN DID YOU ANTICIPATE FINISHING THIS OIL CONSTRUCTION? LEMME MR. CHAIRMAN, POINT OF ORDER AHEAD THEN WE SHOULD ASK THE CONTRACTOR.
I BELIEVE SHE ALREADY HAS, UH, SOME OF THE PERMITS.
AND I THINK WE, UH, SHOULD, SHOULD TALK TO THE CONTRACTOR SINCE WE'RE NOT IN THE CONSTRUCTION.
SOON AS MS. UH, NUNCIO HAS COMPLETED HER TESTIMONY, WE'LL ASK THE CONTRACTOR TO COME UP.
WHEN, WHEN WAS YOUR, UH, SCOPE OF FINISHING ALL OF THIS? SO YOU, THAT HOUSE COULD BE LIVABLE, I WOULD SAY FOR CODE COMPLIANCE REASONS AND GETTING IT UP TO CODE, UM, WITHIN 120 DAYS TO GET THAT STRUCTURE PUT TOGETHER.
AND CONTRACTORS HAVE ALREADY TRIED GETTING THE PERMITS SO THEY COULD START ON THIS, BUT I MEAN, WE HAD TO COME TO COURT FOR THIS.
RIGHT, BUT YOU STARTED THIS PRIOR TO, SO YOU, YOUR, YOUR GOAL WAS 120 DAYS FROM START TO FINISH? NO, NOT WITH THE, BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG THE FOUNDATION WAS GONNA TAKE.
AND EVERY TIME THE, THE CONTRACTOR WAS WORKING ON THE FOUNDATION, WE HAD ALL THESE RAINY DAYS.
[01:40:01]
ALL HIS HOLES WERE GETTING FULL OF WATER AND I DON'T WANT HIM TO PUT THIS CEMENT ON SOGGY GROUND.SO I KEPT TELLING HIM, YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL THIS DRIES OUT.
SO YOU NEW TARGET IS 120 DAYS FROM YES, FROM NOW.
UH, THIS IS FOR STAFF, THE COURT OFFICER.
SAY AGAIN? THIS, THIS IS FOR STAFF, QUESTION FOR STAFF, THE COURT OFFICER? YES.
UH, SIR, UH, SINCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONS, HAVE PERMITS BEEN PULLED ON IT? YES, SIR.
SO PERMITS HAVE BEEN PULLED ON IT.
AND THE DIRECTION IS THERE THAT YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S COMPLETED THAT IT WILL BE REINSPECTED FOR FINALIZATIONS.
IT WAS ALREADY REINSPECTED, UH, THE INSPECTION WAS APPROVED BECAUSE THEY PROVIDED AN ENGINEER'S LETTER SAYING THAT THE FOUNDATION WAS OKAY.
MS. NUNCIO, IF YOU WOULD GO AHEAD AND BE SEATED, WE MAY CALL YOU BACK UP IF YOU DON'T MIND.
UH, WE HAVE MARK SPI, UH, SPIELMAN, WHO ALSO WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE.
IF YOU WOULD, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR HOME ADDRESS.
MY HOME ADDRESS IS 900 WEST WOODLAWN AVENUE.
UH, I'M THE CHAIRMAN OF, UH, BEACON HILL AREA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, ZONING AND URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE.
UM, I DON'T GET A CHANCE TO GET HERE IN THE MORNING SO MUCH, BUT WITH THIS ACCIDENT I HAD RECENTLY, I HERE IN, IN PLACE OF SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE HERE REPRESENTING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, WE HAVE A VESTED INTEREST IN TRYING TO WORK WITH OUR NEIGHBORS WHO WANT TO REPAIR AND, AND UPDATE THE HOMES IF THERE'S ANY POSSIBILITY OF DOING THAT.
UH, WE'D RATHER THAT THAN, THAN THE PROPERTIES BE DEMOLISHED WHEN, UH, IT'S FEASIBLE TO DO SO.
WE'VE TAKEN, YOU KNOW, AN INTEREST IN THIS PROPERTY SINCE THE, UH, OCTOBER PERMIT WAS PULLED FOR THE FOUNDATION.
UH, WE'RE FOLLOWING IT THROUGH AND, AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER IT REALLY IS VIABLE TO DO THAT.
UH, IT LOOKS LIKE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW, UH, A TWO BEDROOM, UH, HOME IS SELLING FOR AROUND $300,000, UH, TO PUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO THIS AS FAIRLY A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO, UH, RECOUP THEIR, UH, EXPENSES AND, AND SELL IT AT A PROFIT.
SO IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S NOT AN OUTLANDISH THING TO EXPECT THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REHAB THIS WITH THE, UH, AMOUNT OF, UH, DAMAGE THAT THERE IS BY NEGLECT TO THE PROPERTY.
AND, AND DAMAGE BY NEGLECT IS, UH, PRETTY COMMON IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN REHABBED AND, YOU KNOW, ONE RIGHT ACROSS FROM ME RECENTLY SOLD FOR $320,000 A TWO BEDROOM.
AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS SHOCKED HOW NICE IT LOOKED WHEN IT WAS DONE.
I MEAN, IT CAN, YOU KNOW, WORK OUT VERY NICELY FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, PARTICULARLY WE'RE INTERESTED IN THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE, UH, THE SITE OF THE, UH, HUB, TRANSPORTATION HUB AT THE, UH, INTERSECTION OF FREDERICKSBURG ROAD AND, UH, BLANCO ROAD.
UH, THEY'RE JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, WANTED TO, UH, UH, PRESENT THE IDEA THAT, UH, WE MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER SOME RESOURCES TO THE PEOPLE HERE.
WE'VE HAD OTHER PROPERTIES, UH, UH, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE'VE ASSISTED, UH, WITH SOME OF THE, UH, YOU KNOW, CONTRACTORS AND, AND GIVING ADVICE TO THE PEOPLE TO UP, UH, YOU KNOW, UPDO THEIR HOMES SO THAT THEY'RE READY TO SELL.
UH, WOULD LIKE YOU TO AT LEAST CONSIDER THAT WHEN YOU'RE MAKING A DECISION.
AND I KNOW I'M, I'M VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.
I, LIKE I SAID, I, I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THIS BOARD BEFORE, BUT, UH, IT'S VERY INSIGHTFUL.
I, I LIKE THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK AND, UH, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE PROFESSIONALISM HERE.
I I, I HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE BEFORE THIS BOARD BEFORE, BUT, UH, YOU SEEM TO BE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB, AND THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THIS WITNESS? THANK YOU, SIR.
UM, CHAIRMAN, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, ASK MORE OF THE OWNER.
UH, WOULD YOU MIND IF WE HEAR FROM THE CONTRACTOR BEFORE WE ASK ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OF THE OWNER? WELL, ABOUT THE, IT IS, UH, IS IN CONDITION WITH THE OTHER TWO STRUCTURES THAT ARE ON HERE, WHAT THE INTENT OF THOSE ARE.
I THINK THE CONTRACTOR MIGHT BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER ANSWER BASED ON HER LAST, UH, HER POWER TESTIMONY.
[01:45:01]
JESSE GUERRERA, IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE COME FORWARD.STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE.
I RESIDE AT 1434 WEST KINGS HIGHWAY HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
OUR COMPANY IS, UH, GETTA ROOFING AND CONSTRUCTION.
WE ARE REGISTERED HERE IN THE CITY TO PERFORM ANY KIND OF WORK FOR RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL.
UH, WE SPECIALIZE IN, UH, REMODELING, UH, HISTORICAL HOMES.
WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF DOING ANOTHER ONE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET ON ATCH, UH, NINE 11.
WE'RE ABOUT TO START DOING A FULL REHAB ON THAT ONE AS WELL.
UM, SO, UH, MS. UH, NUNCIO DID, UH, GIVE US A CALL ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.
UH, SHE DID GET OUR PHONE NUMBER FROM ONE OF OUR SIGNS FROM ONE OF THE PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE REHABBING.
SHE DECIDED TO GIVE US A CALL AND, UH, GET SOME ADVICE AS TO WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO.
AND AT THAT POINT, THE FOLLOWING DAY, WE SHOWED UP TO THE JOB SITE TO GO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCOPE OF WORK.
AND THEN THAT'S WHEN, UH, WE SAW THE INSPECTING OFFICERS THERE AND, UH, S A P D AT THE SAME TIME.
SO WE PULLED UP KIND OF AT A GOOD TIME.
UH, WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD, UH, DIALECT OUT THERE.
WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO GET DONE.
UH, WE WEREN'T, UH, ALLOWED TO GET INTO THE PROPERTY FOR SAID REASONS.
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS WARRANTS IN PLACE AND WHATNOT.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE DID JUST TAKE PICTURES OF THE EXTERIOR, UH, TALK TO THE INSPECTORS ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD DO, HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE US TO DO IT.
WE DO HAVE A CONTRACT IN PLACE ALREADY WITH MENCIA, WITH THE SCOPE OF WORK.
AND YES, IT IS 15,000, AND THAT IS JUST FOR THE FIRST PHASE.
AND THAT'S JUST FOR THE STRICTLY FRAMING, THE EXTERIOR CEILINGS, WALLS, AND ROOF.
WE'RE GONNA DEMO EVERYTHING DOWN TO THE WOOD FRAME, MAKE SURE IT'S ALL STRUCTURALLY SOUND LIKE WE ALWAYS DO CALL FOR AN INSPECTION, YOU KNOW, FOR A FRAMING INSPECTION.
ONCE THE FRAMING INSPECTION HAS BEEN APPROVED, THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND DRYING IT ALL IN AS FAR AS EXTERIOR AND THE ROOF.
AND THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD INTO THE REST OF THE REHAB.
YOU KNOW, GETTING PERMITS FOR ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE, INSTALLATION.
AND, UH, AT THAT POINT IN TIME, WE'LL PULL OUT NECESSARY PERMITS THAT WE NEED TO DO TO COMMENCE THE WORK.
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, THE, THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WE HAVE IS JUST FOR THE DEMO OF THE EXTERIOR SIDING, SO WE CAN BE ABLE TO GET TO THE WOOD FRAME.
UM, MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE WINDOWS AND EVERY BEDROOM, LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM, KITCHEN IS ALL UP TO PAR AS FAR AS FRAMING HEADERS, UM, YOU KNOW, DOORS AND WINDOWS THAT ARE ALL, YOU KNOW, FRAMED OUT TO CODE.
UM, I DID NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING HERE ON THE FOUNDATION BECAUSE, UH, SHE DID STATE RIGHT NOW THAT, UH, SHE DID HIRE A PREVIOUS FOUNDATION CONTRACTOR THAT'S NOT A PART OF MY COMPANY.
UM, SO THEREFORE WE'RE GONNA GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO GIVE US A CALL AND SEE IF HE'S GONNA ADDRESS ANY ISSUES.
I'M GONNA PULL ALL THE PERMITS NECESSARY, SO WE NEED TO GET A REINSPECTION OUT THERE FOR THAT FOUNDATION, MAKE SURE IT'S UP TO PAR BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING ELSE TO THE STRUCTURE.
THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE, IS THE FOUNDATION, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, SO ONCE THAT'S BEEN APPROVED, UH, WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE AS FAR AS ENGINEER REPORTS, LETTERS, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, INSPECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED.
THEN FROM THERE ON WE CAN DEFINITELY COMMENCE AND START THE DEMOLITION PROCESS AND GET EVERYTHING UP TO PAR WITHIN AT LEAST 120 DAYS.
I TOLD HER WE CAN HAVE THAT READY.
UH, MY MAIN THING IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STRUCTURES, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, THE HOUSE IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND, THAT THE FRAME IS UP TO PAR.
AND THEN FROM THERE WE CAN FINISH OFF THE REMODELING, YOU KNOW, PROCESS.
WOULD I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. GUERRERA? I DO, YES.
SO IN THE EVENT THAT THE PREVIOUS FOUNDATION CONTRACTOR IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING OR DOESN'T SHOW UP TO COMPLETE THE WORK, DOES YOUR COMPANY DO FOUNDATION WORK ON HEARING? YES, SIR.
I DO HAVE SEVERAL, UH, SUBCONTRACTORS THAT I DO HIRE TO DO MY HOUSE LEVELING.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO IF WE HAVE TO, TO THAT POINT, I DID MENTION TO MS, UM, NUNCIO THAT IF, UH, FOR SOME REASON THAT HE DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, WE'D GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO FINISH HIS WORK, YOU KNOW, UH, IF HE DOESN'T SHOW UP, DOESN'T CALL US WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN, YOU KNOW, I, I ADVISED HER THAT I'LL HAVE TO GIVE HER A SEPARATE ITEMIZED BID, YOU KNOW, TO GO AHEAD AND GET MY CONTRACTOR TO COME OUT HERE AND, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THE FOUNDATION IS UP TO PAR, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE COMPLETE WITH THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WE'VE BEEN PROVIDED, THE, THE FRAMING WILL BE DONE, THE ROOF STRUCTURE WILL BE DONE, THE ROOF COVERING WILL BE ON THE EXTERIOR SIDING, COVERING WILL BE ON, THE WINDOWS WILL BE IN PLACE, AND THE HOUSE WILL BE DRIED IN AND SECURED.
ONCE AGAIN, ONCE THE FRAMING INSPECTION HAS BEEN PASSED, UM, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START DRYING IT ALL IN, YOU KNOW, PUTTING ALL THE WINDOWS, DOORS, UM, YOU KNOW, DECKING THE HOUSE, PUTTING THE, YOU KNOW, WEATHER GUARD, THE TX, YOU KNOW, THE SIDING, UM, DECKING THE ROOF, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? AND, UM, JUST DRYING IN THE ROOF.
NOW THE ACTUAL SHINGLES ITSELF WILL BE A DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, BIT, OBVIOUSLY RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST WORRIED ABOUT FRAMING, MAKING SURE THE FRAMING, THE CEILING AND WALLS ARE ALL TIED IN TOGETHER AND STRUCTURALLY SOUND.
SO DOES THIS BID INCLUDE THE ACTUAL SIDING ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE OR JUST THE, UM, JUST FOR DRYING? JUST FOR PUTTING THE O S B PLYWOOD ON THE HOUSE AND TY VEXING IT TYING.
AND IT DOES INCLUDE WINDOWS AND DOORS? YES, SIR.
AND SO AT THAT POINT, YOU KNOW, AFTER THAT, UM, THEN WE CAN START, UM, YOU KNOW, DOING THE SIDING AND, AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, MAKING IT LOOK NICE.
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOING THIS IN PHASES AND TRYING TO STAY WITHIN HER BUDGET AND OF COURSE IN, IN A, IN A GOOD TIMEFRAME, IN A TIMELY MANNER.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT RIGHT NOW IS THAT WE WANT TO GET THE HOUSE STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND DRY IT ALL IN, SO THAT WAY, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN AVOID ANYBODY BREAKING IN OR DAMAGING THE HOUSE OR, YOU KNOW, VANDALIZING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WHY DON'T YOU DRY IN? WHO'S DOING YOUR PLUMBING? UM, I DO
[01:50:01]
HAVE MY CIRCLE SEAT, UH, PLUMBING RICK, UH, HE'S ONE OF MY PLUMBERS THAT HE'S HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.HE'S, UH, LICENSED AND BONDED AS WELL AND REGISTERED HERE IN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
ALL MY CONTRACTORS ARE OUTTA SAN ANTONIO.
THEY'RE ALL REGISTERED HERE WITH YOU.
SO ONCE ALL OF THIS IS SAID AND DONE AND YOU DRY IN AND THEN YOU START THE SECOND PART MM-HMM.
AND THAT'S THE GARAGE AND THE OTHER STRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE TORN OUT.
IS THAT IN YOUR BID AS WELL, OR NO? UM, YES.
ON THAT, ON THIS, UH, FRAMING HERE, IF I DID MISS IT, I CAN REVISE IT IF IT'S NOT IN HERE, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
UM, BUT WE'LL, WE WILL, WE CAN REVISE IT AND ADD IT ON THERE.
BUT YOU'RE ADDING THAT INTO THE FRAMING OF THE MAIN HOUSE.
THE WHAT? NOW YOU'RE ADDING THAT INTO, I'M SORRY, THE DEMOING OF THE MAIN HOUSE.
YOU'RE ADDING THE, THE STRUCTURES YES, SIR.
THAT NEEDS TO BE TORN DOWN, SIR.
AND THE GARAGE IN ITSELF LOOKS LIKE IT'S FEASIBLE.
I HAVEN'T, WE LOOKED AT IT, UM, WITH THE, THE, THE INSPECTOR AND I WHEN WE WALKED IT THAT DAY.
THE, THE, THE FRONT SECTION IS SALVAGEABLE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN FIX IT, BUT, UH, AS YOU SAW FROM THE PICTURES, THE BACK HALF HAS JUST BEEN CAVED IN.
SO WE CAN JUST PRETTY MUCH CLEAR THAT OFF AND JUST KEEP THE FRONT SECTION.
SO THAT IS MENTIONED IN YOUR DEMO? YES, SIR.
BUT NOT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN YOUR DEMO, SIR.
IF THE BOARD REQUIRES ME TO DO THAT, I CAN DEFINITELY REVISE IT IN AND I'M NOT SEEING IT IN HERE.
WE, WE CAN DEFINITELY ADD THAT IN THERE AS WELL.
WHAT WERE YOU LOOKING FOR? 120 DAYS FROM START.
AND THIS IS JUST FOR THE FRAMING, NOT THE FOUNDATION BECAUSE AT THE, WHAT I SEE IN THE FOUNDATION IS NOT CODE.
NOW, FROM THAT, FROM YOUR TIME START TO FINISH ONLY ON FRAMING, SIDING, WELL, NOT SIDING, BUT DRY IN YES, SIR.
AND, AND, AND I DO WANT TO ALSO INCLUDE THE FOUNDATION BECAUSE THAT'S, THAT HAS TO GO HAND IN HAND, SIR.
AND IF YOU HAVE TO GO BACK, HOW MANY DAYS ARE YOU GONNA NEED TO ADD EXACTLY TO THAT? I UNDERSTAND THAT AS A CONTRACTOR.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT, THE, THE ONE 20 ONLY COVERS DRY IN, NOT COMPLETE, NOT COMPLETE AS FAR AS, AS FAR AS EVERYTHING BEING DONE DOWN TO THE FINISH.
THIS IS JUST, UH, YOU KNOW, THE, JUST THE DRY IN.
SO THE DRY IN, GET IT READY FOR THE NEXT PHASE, WE CAN START DOING THE RIGHT, THE INTERIOR, WHICH IS YOUR FINISHED PHASE, WHICH WILL TAKE YOU AN ADDITIONAL HOW MANY DAYS I WOULD, UH, GUESSTIMATE RIGHT NOW WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IN THE HOUSE, PROBABLY AN EXTRA 90 DAYS, YOU KNOW, TO GET THE PLUMBER IN THERE, ELECTRICIAN IN THERE.
UM, SO YOU, WE WORK PRETTY QUICKLY IN HERE TODAY.
YOU'RE ASKING FOR HOW MANY DAYS TO COMPLETE YOUR PROJECT.
NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FULL SCOPE OR THE FULL REHAB, FULL SCOPE, PAINTED, DRIED IN INSULATION, AND IN INCLUDE BAD DAYS.
AND ANYTHING THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO GO BACK AND REDO.
UM, I WOULD SAY SIX MONTHS WOULD BE SUFFICE FOR ME TO, TO REHAB THIS HOUSE.
LET ME ASK A QUESTION OF THE COLD OFFICER.
IF YOU WOULD STEP JUST ASIDE FOR A MOMENT, UH, BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT IS IN HIS BID, UH, HE BASICALLY TAKES A STRUCTURE, UH, AND PUTS IT BACK INTO A, UH, A SOUND SAFE STRUCTURE.
DO I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY? YES, SIR.
WOULD COME BACK UP AND GO AHEAD AND FINISH YOUR QUESTIONS.
NOW, WHEN YOU HAVE THAT FINISHED, YOU'RE LOOKING AT SIX MONTHS MM-HMM.
AND THE ONLY THING YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO ADD ON THIS HERE IS MAYBE DEFINE A LITTLE BIT OF THE WORDS TO INCLUDE SO THERE'S NO MISU CORRECT.
AND THAT'S WHY I ASKED YOU THAT.
'CAUSE IT WASN'T IN HERE ON YOUR SPECIFIC TIMELINE.
AND, AND THE ONLY REASON I DIDN'T REALLY ADD THAT ON THERE WAS BECAUSE, UM, WE, I, SHE JUST HIRED US RECENTLY AND WE HAD THIS MEETING ON THE FIRST, SO I DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GET MY ENGINEER TO GO OUT THERE.
SO WE CAN GO THROUGH THE, I WANTED TO HAVE THAT LETTER PRESENTED TO YOU TODAY, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE TIMEFRAME WASN'T, YOU KNOW, FITTING OUR, OUR TIMELY.
BUT I CAN, UH, PROVIDE A SCOPE OF WORK FROM THE ENGINEER, SO THAT WAY GIVES US A BETTER BREAKDOWN.
YOUR PERMITS HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED? NO, I CAME LAST WEEK.
WE CAME TO PULL THE PERMITS LAST WEEK, BUT THE CITY HAD TOLD US WE COULDN'T UNTIL AFTER WE HAD THIS MEETING.
AS SOON AS, DEPENDING ON YOUR JUDGMENT TODAY.
I CAN, I CAN STEP OUT RIGHT NOW AND, AND, UM, GET THE PERMIT TODAY.
SO YOU'RE WORKING FOR PERMITS RIGHT NOW, SIR, TO ANTICIPATE YOU GETTING BACK IN THERE, SIR.
WE WE'RE READY TO GO WITH THIS PROJECT.
I MEAN, WE JUST WANTED TO PRESENT THIS TO THE BOARD, HOPEFULLY GET AN APPROVAL TO, YOU KNOW, RESUME, YOU KNOW, THE, THE REHAB.
AND, UM, THEY TOLD US THAT AS SOON AS, DEPENDING ON THE OUTCOME OF THE DATE, AND IF EVERYTHING WENT WELL, WE CAN GO RIGHT OUT THE DOOR AND PULL THE PERMIT THE SAME DAY.
A COUPLE QUESTIONS JUST FOR CLARIFICATION.
UM, IF YOU CAN PULL SLIDE 41 PLEASE.
SO THIS IS THE PORTION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT WILL REMAIN, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR.
AND THEN SLIDE 42, THIS IS THE PORTION OF THE BACK STRUCTURE THAT WILL BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN YOUR BID, CORRECT? YES, SIR.
[01:55:01]
BE CLEARED OFF FROM THE PROPERTY.WE'LL HAVE A DUMP, YOU KNOW, A 40, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF THOSE UNITS OUT THERE AND CLEAR THE PROPERTY OUT.
WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN AND EXPLAINING THIS TO ME, MA'AM.
BUT YOU KNOW, I GO BACK A LONG WAYS WITH FOUNDATIONS MM-HMM.
THIS PLACE HASN'T EVEN BEEN CLEANED OUT YET MM-HMM.
SO HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET THIS, UH, FRAMING STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND THE FOUNDATION SUCKS? I MEAN, HOW ARE YOU GONNA DO THAT? AND THAT'S WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
ONCE AGAIN, UM, THE FIRST THING TO DO IS TO GET AHOLD OF THE PREVIOUS CONTRACTOR, YOU KNOW, AND IF HE DOESN'T SHOW UP FOR SOME REASON, THEN, BUT HE'S GONNA SHOW UP BECAUSE HE HASN'T COME BACK TO FINISH AT ALL.
BUT, YOU KNOW, ONCE AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS, BUT FOR SOME REASON, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS LIKE TO HAVE A PLAN B OR PLAN C.
IF HE DOESN'T SHOW UP FOR SOME REASON, THEN WE'LL GET OUR CONTRACTOR TO COME IN THERE AND GO AHEAD AND, UM, GET THE INSPECTORS, THE CONTRACTOR WITH THE CITY, MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO NEEDS TO GET DONE BEFORE WE COMMENCE ANYTHING ELSE ON TOP.
SO THE FOUNDATION IS PRIORITY RIGHT NOW? YES, MA'AM.
SO I WILL GET WITH THE ENGINEERS AND WITH THE CITY INSPECTORS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FOUNDATION IS UP TO PAR.
IF THE CITY PASSES THE INSPECTION, THEN THAT'S KIND OF OUT OF MY HAND BECAUSE THE CITY'S PASSED THE INSPECTION, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? SO I MEAN, IT, IT ALL FALLS BACK ON THE, ON THE INSPECTION, YOU KNOW, SO COULD FALL BACK ON THE CITY BECAUSE THE CITY MA'AM DIDN'T DO A GOOD JOB ON THAT INSPECTION.
I, I'VE, I'VE HAD THAT HAPPEN TO SEVERAL REHABS WE'VE HAD HERE.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, YOU KNOW, THE CONTRACTOR COMMUNICATING WITH THE CITY AND MAKING SURE THAT WE COVER ALL OUR BASES.
ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CONTRACTOR? MR. ADD, DID YOU STILL HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE OWNER? UH, NO.
HE JUST ANSWERED THAT WITHIN THE REGARDS OF THE GARAGE AND THE DEBRIS MM-HMM.
SO THAT, THAT DOES ANSWER THAT.
MS. NUNCIO, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANTED TO ADD? IF, IF YOU, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME BACK TO THE MICROPHONE IF YOU DO ANYTHING.
UM, I ACTUALLY DID A LOT OF THE DEMO.
I'M THE ONE WHO KIND OF TORE DOWN THAT MUCH.
IT WAS ABOUT 20 FEET LONG, SO I JUST DIDN'T FINISH UP.
IT DIDN'T REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT AT ONE POINT.
HE SAID, I'LL FINISH IT ON THE CONTRACTOR.
YOU DON'T DO ANY MORE OF THIS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE OWNER? NO.
I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR COMING PREPARED TODAY.
UH, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T AND I, I FEEL LIKE HE PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO THIS AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.
I'VE SEEN HIS WORK AND PICTURES AND I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY AT 1 1 4 CINCINNATI IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6 1 5 6 FOR THE MAIN 5 7 8 11, 12 15.
AND FOR THE AC ACCESSORY 7, 8, 15, 17, 18.
BUT I DO THIS WITH A REPAIR ORDER THAT IT IS FEASIBLE TO REPAIR THIS PROPERTY AND I ORDER THE REPAIR TO BE DONE WITHIN SIX MONTHS WITH A 30 DAY FOLLOW UP BY CODE COMPLIANCE EVERY 30 DAYS.
MUST HAVE A REPORT ALSO TO LOOK AT THE STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW FOR THE FOUNDATION AND IF NEED BE, PUT A STOP ORDER UNTIL THE WORK IS DONE.
UH, FIRST ISSUE CALLED OFFICER, WOULD YOU PLEASE RESTATE YOUR TOTAL CODES BECAUSE I THINK YOU REPORTED THINGS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE FIRST HAD.
THERE WAS THE ISSUE WITH THE PRINTING, UM, THAT WAS, UH, MY FAULT.
UH, STRUCTURES LOCATED AT ONE 14 CINCINNATI IS VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1 2 5 7 8 11, 12 15 FOR THE MAIN AND SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
SO THOSE ARE PRINTED WRONG IN THE, THAT'S THE REASON, THAT'S THE REASON WHY I ASKED THE CODE OFFICER TO RESTATE THE TOTAL CODES.
UH, AND YOUR, YOUR MOTION WAS HOW MANY DAYS? 120.
180 DAYS WITH A 30 DAY OR EVERY 30 DAY REPORT TO CODE COMPLIANCE.
AND THAT THE IMMEDIATE THING NEEDS TO BE DONE IS THAT FOUNDATION, IT NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED AND IF IT'S PIECE OF WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE FIRST.
[02:00:01]
SO THE CORRECTION WILL BE MADE BY CODE OFFICER AND I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THEY WERE.THE MOTION IS TO REPAIR THE MAIN AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, UH, BECAUSE OF THE MAIN IS IN VIOLATION OF SUB CODES 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
AND SUBSECTIONS FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND THE REPAIRS BE COMPLETED IN 180 DAYS WITH ALL PERMITS PULLED PRIOR TO START OF WORK AND IT REQUIRES 30 DAY, UH, REPORTS TO THE CODE OFFICER ON THE AMENDMENTS.
I MEAN, ARE YOU FRIENDLY AMENDING THAT? 'CAUSE I DIDN'T PUT IN THE PERMITS.
AGAIN, I DIDN'T PUT IN PERMITS, ARE YOU? I APOLOGIZE.
UH, IF YOU DID NOT INCLUDE PERMIT, FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO, UH, YEAH, TO INCLUDE PERMITS AND ALSO TO INCLUDE THAT THE PROPERTIES TO REMAIN VACANT PENDING COMPLETION OF REPAIRS PROPERTIES BE SECURED WITHIN SEVEN DAYS AND REMAIN SECURED DURING THE DEPENDENCY OF REPAIRS.
ACCEPTED PRINT AMENDMENTS INCLUDED, UH, TO VACATE AND TO SECURE AND, UH, REQUIRED PERMITS.
UH, DO I HAVE A SECOND ON THAT? UNI SECOND.
SAY A OPPOSED SAY, NAYYY MOTION TO REPAIR IS PASSED.

CHAVEZ, YOU'LL NEED TO COME TO THE MICROPHONE.
MATTHEW HAY, YOU, HE'S BEEN, BEFORE YOU START, IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
LIKE CHAVEZ, 1834 WESTWOOD AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 1.
NOW YOU MAKE PRESENT YOUR CASE.
HE'S BEEN HELPING ME, UH, SPEAKING THE MICROPHONE.
MY SON MATTHEW HAY, HE'S BEEN HELPING ME WITH TRYING TO VERY GOOD.
UM, WHEN WE RENTED THE PLACE 1834 HORIZON ON, WE WEREN'T AWARE OF EVERYTHING THAT WENT ON.
I CALLED THE CO COMPLIANCE BECAUSE THE OWNER, MARIA, UH, THE REPRESENTATIVE MARIA PENA WOULD NOT FIX ANYTHING.
SO I CALLED CO COMPLIANCE AND, UM, ASKED HIM TO INSPECTOR HER TO LET HER KNOW WE NEED THIS DONE.
UM, I HAVE THE PICTURES OF 2016 THAT SHE DID.
UH, THE OWNER DID A, UH, INSURANCE CLAIM WITH THE BANK.
UH, THEY MADE A, UH, ESTIMATE OF $15,800 TO GET IT FIXED.
UH, PICTURES ARE AS THEY ARE NOW, AND SHE DID NOT FIX IT.
SHE RECEIVED THE CHECK, DID NOT FIX IT.
THEN I ALSO, WE, UH, CALLED THE WEATHERIZATION SO I COULD GET IT FIXED FOR HER FOR FREE.
AND I JUST NEED HER SIGNATURE.
SHE WOULDN'T DO IT, BUT WE CAN'T MOVE BECAUSE IT COSTS US TO MOVE THERE.
AND ANOTHER MAIN COST FORT, YOU KNOW, TO, TO PAY THE UTILITIES.
UM, THE WATER WAS SUPPOSED TO BE PAID BY MS. PENA, THE DAUGHTER OF ANGELA RODRIGUEZ.
UM, I THINK IT WAS MARCH 10TH.
WE HAVE IT ON, WE ARE GOING THROUGH A COURT EVICTION RIGHT NOW WITH HER BECAUSE, UH, WE STOPPED PAYING BECAUSE WE WERE PAYING TO GET STUFF DONE.
UM, SO WE'RE GOING TO STILL A PROCESS OF THE APPEALS COURT TO THE EVICTION.
UM, WHY DID YOU SAY YOU COULDN'T MOVE? WE PAID TO MOVE THERE.
WE'VE BEEN PAYING TO LIVE THERE.
UH, NO, UH, SKILLED REFRIGERATOR, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO BUY OUR FOOD, UH, FROM, UH, SANDWICHES, UH, MICROWAVE STUFF.
BUT WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, OUR EXPENSES ARE AT LEAST ARE MORE THAN RENT.
OH, NOW YOU'RE NOT PAYING RENT.
WE CAN LIVE, UH, WE HAD TO, UH, TAKE OVER HER WATER PAYMENT, WHICH IS A $500.
[02:15:01]
WHY YOU DOING THIS? NOW? YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO.I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CAN'T MOVE, WE CAN'T SUPPORT.
UH, SHE DID A, UH, IF YOU, IF YOU WOULD, UH, GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS BEFORE YOU MAKE COMMENT.
NOW YOU'RE GONNA ANSWER THE QUESTION, QUESTION ONE MORE TIME.
WE'RE I'M IN THE PROCESS OF HELPING HER HOUSE TO ME IS LIVABLE INCOME AND BILLS, AND YOU BUY HERSELF AND THINGS SO'S UH, MOVE SOMEWHERE PRETTY FAST, YOU KNOW, LIKE MONEY AND SOMEWHERE WHERE SHE CAN, YOU KNOW, AND I'M IN THE PROCESS OF HELPING HER FIND A PLACE TO HER.
WHO ARE YOU TO HER? I'M HER SON, HER YOUNGEST SON.
ANOTHER THING, MS. PENA, THE DAUGHTER, MS. RODRIGUEZ, UM, HACK INTO MY, MY RECORDS, MY SOCIAL SECURITY, MY DISABILITY, AND EVERYTHING SHE HAD CALLED THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.
MR. MR. CHAIR, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GENTLY PUSH US BACK TO THE ISSUE AT HAND, WHICH IS THIS PROPERTY AND HOW IT CAN BE ADDRESSED.
IF THE BOARD BELIEVES THAT, UH, THESE ARE VIOLATIONS OF THE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, WHAT HE IS RECOMMENDING IS YOU NEED TO ADDRESS YOUR COMMENTS TO WHAT CAN BE DONE.
AND BECAUSE YOU ARE THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO ANYTHING.
UH, SO BASICALLY, IS THERE ANY INTENT ON YOUR PART TO DO ANYTHING TO THE PROPERTY TO BRING IT BACK INTO CODE? YES.
UM, LIKE I SAID, I CALLED WEATHER RESERVATION.
THEY ASKED ME TO GET A SIGNATURE FROM THE OWNER TO HAVE EVERYTHING DONE FOR FREE BECAUSE I'M DISABLED AND ELDERLY.
AND I, WELL, SHE WON'T GIMME A SIGNATURE, BUT I DID GET THE FORMS TO GET IT APPROVED TO GET THIS STUFF DONE, AND THAT'S WHAT MY INTENT WAS TO DO, TO FIX EVERYTHING.
WHO APPROVED THAT? UH, THE CITY IS CALLED THE, THE A A C O G, ANIMAL AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT SAID THEY WOULD DO IT FOR ME, BUT I HAVE TO HAVE THE OWNER'S SIGNATURE.
IF YOU WOULD HAND THAT MATERIAL TO THE LADIES AND LET THEM, LET THE ATTORNEY REVIEW THAT MATERIAL.
I HAVE A QUESTION WHILE THEY'RE DOING THAT.
UM, SO THE OWNER'S AWARE OF THESE VIOLATIONS AND THE OWNER HAS REFUSED TO FIX THESE VIOLATIONS AND THE OWNER'S AWARE THAT YOU'RE LIVING IN THE PROPERTY AND IN THIS CONDITION AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS EXACTLY.
I WAS TRYING TO SAY THAT, UH, THE REASON WHY WE CAN'T AFFORD IT IS BECAUSE, UM, MY COTEN WAS GOING TO BE MY PROVIDER AND HER INCOME WAS GOING TO BE PAYING HER PART OF THE, THE RENT.
AND SHE STOPPED IT BY CALLING THE HEALTH INSTITUTE WITH HUMAN SERVICES AND SAID, I MAKE MORE MONEY THAN I'M SUPPOSED TO.
AND SO THEY PUT A, UH, QUESTION ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY I MAKE.
SO SHE WOULD, I COULD NOT GET THE CARE FOR THE PROVIDER.
SO THEY STOPPED THE, THE, THE JOB TO BE OPEN FOR HER.
SO IT TOOK A WHILE FOR ME TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO 'EM AND SHOW THEM I DON'T MAKE EXTRA MONEY.
AND FINALLY, THEY, THEY DID AN INVESTIGATION AND THEY SAID, OKAY, I'M RIGHT.
SO NOW MY COTENANT IS GETTING PAID TO, TO BE MY PROVIDER.
THAT'S HER WAY OF PAYING HER PART OF THE RENT.
AND IT'S JUST ONLY BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE WORD YOU SAID.
MAY PLEASE, PLEASE, I'M SORRY.
I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, THOSE DOCUMENTS DO LOOK LIKE THEY'RE FROM THE CITY.
HOWEVER, UM, THEY'RE NOT FILLED OUT.
THEY'RE JUST BLANK FORMS. UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE GONNA PROVIDE MUCH INFORMATION, BUT I DID WANT TO AT LEAST LET YOU KNOW THAT THEY, SHE HAS THOSE DOCUMENTS IN, UM, IN HER POSSESSION, BUT THERE'S NOTHING, THERE'S NO INFORMATION ON THOSE DOCUMENTS.
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOUR SON.
IF YOU COULD STEP TO THE MICROPHONE.
UH, YOU SAID YOU'RE, YOU'RE HELPING HER LOOK FOR A PLACE TO LIVE AND TO RELOCATE, AND DO YOU HAVE A, A TIMEFRAME AS FAR AS HOW LONG THAT WOULD TAKE? IT SEEMS TO BE AN IMMEDIATE NEED.
WHAT WE, UH, MY MOM WANTS TO DO IS, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH THE LANDLORD TO HAVE HER FIX THE HOUSE.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS POTENTIAL TO BE REALLY NICE.
IT'S JUST THE LANDLORD'S DOING IT REALLY, REALLY HARD.
MY MOM'S A REALLY NICE LADY AND SHE WANTS TO LIVE IN THE HOUSE.
UM, NOT REALLY SURE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEM, BUT THEY'S MAKING IT REALLY HARD AT THE TIMEFRAME.
I MEAN, I WANT WANT TO TRY TO SAY LIKE A MONTH OR TWO BECAUSE I WORK NICE, SO I COMPLICATED.
THE OWNER DOESN'T, I THINK IT'S CLEAR THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF,
[02:20:01]
OF DOING IT.IF THE BOARD WILL ALLOW ME BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS IS A TENANT WITH THE INABILITY TO DO SIGNIFICANT WORK ON THE PROPERTY, UH, ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY PROBABLY BE, UH, NOT HELPFUL TO THE BOARD TO MAKE A DECISION, UH, UNLESS THERE'S AN OBJECTION TO THAT COMMENT WILL ASK THE WITNESSES TO BE SEATED.
UM, IF SHE DOESN'T, UH, GO THROUGH WITH FIXING EVERYTHING, AND THEN I GUESS THE HOUSE WILL GO FORECLOSURE, A LIEN OR SOMETHING, UM, MY MOM WANTS TO, YOU KNOW, TRY TO GET THE HOUSE, YOU KNOW, AND THEN FIX.
THAT'S AN ISSUE THAT THIS BOARD CANNOT DEAL WITH.
UH, THAT'S SOMETHING YOU'LL HAVE TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE ABOUT.
OUR ISSUE IS THAT THE STRUCTURE IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY CODE AND WE HAVE, UH, BASICALLY THE REQUIREMENT TO MAKE A DETERMINATION.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, ONE COMMENT REAL QUICK.
WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE EVICTION.
UH, WE ARE WAITING FOR THE COURT DATE FOR THE APPEAL, AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THIS BOARD CAN DEAL WITH EITHER.
THAT'S A COURT ISSUE THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO, I'M ASKING FOR THE TIME UNTIL THE COURT DATE TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT IF THE JUDGE IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO TAKE OVER THE HOUSE OR AGAIN, THIS BOARD CANNOT DEAL WITH THAT.
THAT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE AN ISSUE THAT YOU TAKE UP, JUDGE, AND THAT COURT, YOU MIGHT BE SEATED CHAIR, WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I FIND THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1-834-WOODLAWN WEST BE A IN VIOLATION OF CITY PROPERTY CODE OH 3 0 2 0.130 4.230 4.630 4.1 3, 3 0 5 0.330 5.450 5.360 3.60 5.1, AND 7 0 3 0.2.
AND THAT THE PROPERTY BE REPAIRED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
A VACATE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS, AND THE PROPERTY CANNOT BE RE REHABILITATED UNTIL ALL REPAIRS ARE DONE PUSHED IN FOR COUNSEL.
UH, ARE THESE CASES SUFFICIENT TO ORDER A VACATE FIRE SAFETY? THIS BOARD HAS THE ABILITY TO DO A NOTICE TO VACATE BASED ON THE ISSUES.
THEN, UH, MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY CODE AND VIOLATIONS AS FAULT WAS, AND THEY'RE NOT IN THE SAME ORDER THAT THEY READ, BUT LET ME SUMMARIZE THEM OR REPEAT THEM.
6 0 5 0.150 5.330 5.360 3.130 2.130 4.630 4.230 4.1370 3.2.
DID I CAPTURE ALL OF THEM? YES, YOU DID.
UH, AND THE MOTION IS TO VACATE IN SEVEN DAYS, UH, AND TO, UH, REPAIR IN 30 DAYS.
UH, I JUST, I THINK IT'S TERRIBLE THAT THE WAY THIS LANDLORD HAS, HAS DEALT WITH THIS PROPERTY, WITH THESE TENANTS, AND I'D LIKE TO IMPOSE A FINE OF A THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY EVERY DAY AFTER 30 DAYS THAT THEY DON'T DEAL WITH THIS PROPERTY.
I ACCEPT THAT FRIENDLY LIMIT, AND I'M SORRY I DIDN'T BRING THAT UP.
THE FREE AMENDMENT IS TO ADD A FINE OF $1,000 PER DAY AFTER THE 30 DAYS UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.
MOTION IS CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
YOU DON'T NEED TO GET WITH YOUR CO COMPLIANCE OFFICER.
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE, ACTUALLY, SINCE WE HAVE A QUORUM, WE CAN PROCEED.
OR DO WE WANT TO TAKE A RECESS? LET'S PROCEED SINCE WE STILL HAVE A CORAL.

HERE'S A, A REAR VIEW OF THE STRUCTURE, AND HERE'S WHERE THERE USED TO BE A LINE FROM THIS WINDOW HERE ALL THE WAY TO THE ALLEY.
UH, IT ACTUALLY WAS A LINE OF PEOPLE, AND HERE, THIS WINDOW HERE WAS, UH, A PERSON DISTRIBUTING DRUGS AND IT WAS JUST ON A DAILY BASIS.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DID A GREAT JOB OF GETTING RID OF, UH, ALL THAT.
UH, IN HERE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOME STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IN HERE.
AND THEN, UH, HERE'S WHERE, UH, IT HAS BEEN ABATED MANY TIMES, AND, UH, THEY WOULD CRAWL UNDERNEATH HERE, UH, UNDER THE HOUSE AND THEN JUST POP OUT ON THE INSIDE.
SO IT WOULD LOOK LIKE, UH, THE HOUSE WAS SECURED.
UH, ON THIS SIDE YOU COULD SEE SOME SIDING MISSING THERE.
WENT UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, BUT IT DOES, LOOKS LIKE THIS BEAM DOES NOT CONTINUE HERE.
[02:30:01]
UH, FROM FRONT TO BACK, UH, THE, THE BEAMS WERE NOT, UH, LEFT AND GOING INSIDE THE HOUSE, THERE IS, UH, SIGNS OF WATER DAMAGE TO THE CEILINGS AND THE FLOORS.SO IT HAS, UH, AT ONE TIME WAS RUN WITH DRUG ADDICTS, SO IT WAS VANDALIZED.
UH, AT THE SAME TIME, ONCE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, UH, MANAGED TO CLEAN IT UP, THE OWNER CAME IN AND STARTED, UH, DEMOING, I GUESS TO CLEAN IT UP.
BUT NEVER CONTINUED WITH, YOU KNOW, THE REPAIRS.
THERE'S SOME SIGNS OF MOLD AND, UH, EVIDENCE THAT WATER IS COMING IN, EVEN THOUGH THE HOUSE DOES APPEAR TO BE LEVEL, THE FLOORS APPEAR TO BE WARPED EITHER FROM, UH, PROBABLY FROM BEFORE, JUST SOME MORE WATER DAMAGE.
UM, FOR THE CEILINGS, THIS IS THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
IT'S JUST A METAL SHED, 10 BY 12, AND IT'S RUSTED OUT, BENT AND OUTTA SHAPE.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE.
ROOF COVERING AND DECKING IS DAMAGED.
INTERIOR FLOOR CEILINGS ARE WATER DAMAGE, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, WALLS AND ROOF ARE DAMAGED.
THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 5 39 RE STREET ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE A CHAPTER 6 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 11, 12 AND 50, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OF THE, OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREAFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIVE HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIR OF MAIN STRUCTURE AND DEMOLITION OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 5 59 RE STREET.
ANY QUESTIONS TO THE CODE OFFICER? I HAVE A QUESTION, MR. HARPER.
UH, WHY ARE WE RECOMMENDING REPAIR TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND NOT DEMOLITION? UM, BEFORE IT COMES HERE, IT GOES TO A CASE REVIEW.
UH, AND AT THE CASE REVIEW, IT'S PRESENTED, UH, JUST LIKE THIS.
AND THE PICTURES LIKE THIS, IT GETS DETERMINED, UH, THROUGH, UH, THROUGH VISUAL DAMAGE.
SO, UH, IT'S NOT JUST ONE PERSON THAT MAKES THE ASSESSMENT, THE MANAGER MAKES THE FINAL ASSESSMENT ON THE STRUCTURE.
UM, AND, AND AGAIN, THEY, THEY USE VISUAL, UH, ASSESSMENT.
SO, UM, SOMETIMES THEY FEEL THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE, THE DAMAGE THAT SOME OF THESE OTHER, UH, STRUCTURES HAVE WHEN, WHEN THEY RECOMMEND DEMOLITION, THEY GET ONE THAT NOT AS MUCH.
SO THEN, UH, THEY'RE MORE LIABLE TO MAKE A, A RECOMMENDATION OF REPAIR.
UH, BUT, UH, THAT'S ALL IT CAN TELL YOU AS FAR AS, UH, THAT, THAT, UH, DETERMINATION.
AND AT, AND AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE NO INDICATION FROM THE OWNER.
THEY HAVE ANY INTENTION TO REPAIR IT.
THEY HAVE, THE OWNER HAS NO INTENTIONS OF REPAIRING IT.
UH, THEY'RE TRYING TO, SHE, SHE JUST WANTS TO GET RID OF IT.
SHE'S TRYING TO SELL IT DESPERATELY THAT SHE HAS NO INTENTIONS OF, OF SELLING IT.
I MEAN, I'M SORRY, OF, OF REPAIRING IT, RIGHT? SO IN THE MEANTIME, IT'S GONNA REMAIN DANGEROUS.
IT IS GOING TO REMAIN DANGEROUS, AND IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE.
AND THE POLICE HAVE MANAGED TO, UH, RUN THE DRUG ADDICTS OUT OF THERE.
BUT SINCE THEN, UH, THEY MONITOR IT, BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY GET BUSY AND, AND THEY'RE GONNA TAKE IT OVER AGAIN.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE CODE OFFICER, I DO, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR PANEL IS THAT MAKES THESE DECISIONS, BUT THIS IS, THERE'S NOBODY HERE TO REPAIR THIS.
YOU CAN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH THE, UH, THE OWNERS OR THE OWNERS THAT REFUSE TO REPAIR IT.
THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN REPAIRING IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP BECAUSE IT'S HERE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS PANEL.
[02:35:01]
I DON'T THINK THEY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, OR IF THEY DO, IT'S NOT DISPLAYED THAT THE PROPERTY CAN'T BE FIXED BECAUSE NOBODY IS THERE TO FIX IT.SO IF NOBODY IS THERE TO FIX IT, NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I THINK SOMEWHERE IN HERE I SAW WHERE THE PROPERTIES WERE, THE PROPERTY TAXES WERE BEHIND.
AND SO IF THE TAXES ARE BEHIND IN ABATEMENTS, THERE'S ALMOST $6,000 IN ABATEMENTS POINT OF ORDER.
IS THERE A QUESTION TO THE CODE OFFICER? WELL, YES, EVENTUALLY
AND I JUST THINK THAT THIS IS, THIS IS A WRONG MOVE HERE.
SORRY TO DISAGREE WITH YOUR PANEL, BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS, UH, MY APPRECIATION FOR YOUR, FOR YOUR EXPERTISE, DEFINITELY WELCOME.
I UNDERSTAND YOU, YOU CAN'T GET INTO THIS, AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET INTO THIS, BUT I'M JUST SAYING IF THE PANEL IS ANYWHERE AVAILABLE, ANYBODY IN HERE IN THE PANEL, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE DECISIONS ARE NOT BASED ON ACCURATE FACTS.
YOU KNOW, YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO REPAIR SOMETHING, THEN SOMEBODY'S GOTTA BE THERE TO CONTRIBUTE.
BUT IF YOU CAN'T GET IT REPAIRED, THEN WHAT ALTERNATIVE DO YOU HAVE? YOU KEEP HAVING PROPERTIES THAT LOOK LIKE THIS IN NICE NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO THIS LOOKS LIKE IT'S PRETTY DECENT HOUSE, BUT NOBODY WANTS TO LIVE NEXT TO THAT.
AND THEN IF, IF YOU'VE ALREADY BOARDED IT UP FOR THE VNS AND THE DRUG ADDICTS, THEY'LL EVENTUALLY GET BACK IN THERE BECAUSE NOBODY'S THERE.
IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT OFFICER CHAIR? TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, PARKER.
