PERMITS ANY ON FILE YET? NOTHING ON FILE.
ALRIGHT, THEN I GUESS WE'LL ASK THE ATTORNEY WHEN YOU COMES.

DID YOU SAY CODE COMPLIANCE? THAT'S WHAT IT WAS STATED AS.
I GUESS THEY HAVE A, UH, A DEPARTMENT THAT HANDLES, YOU KNOW, I, I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT WAS STATED AS.
I GUESS IT'D BE LIKE A PROPERTY MANAGER.
I WASN'T ABLE TO, WELL, IN, IN THE, IN THE PHOTOS, THOSE WERE JUST TAKEN.
IF YOU DID SEE 'EM, UH, ONE OF 'EM WAS TAKEN, I DON'T KNOW WHICH ORDER WE'RE GOING IN HERE, BUT ONE OF 'EM WAS TAKEN FROM THE LEFT SIDE, THE PROPERTY LINE, UM, NEXT TO THE, UH, THE NEIGHBOR, UH, YOU CAN SEE THE INTERIOR REMAINS IN THE SAME CONDITION.
THE NEXT PHOTO WAS TAKEN FROM THE REAR TO THE INTERIOR SHOWING THAT THE LIVING ROOM, UM, STILL IN THE SAME CONDITION AND THE OTHER PHOTO WAS TAKEN FROM THE FRONT WINDOW, UM, SHOWING THAT THAT LIVING AREA, AS WE CAME ACROSS ALL BEDROOMS, A HORSESHOE PATTERN STILL REMAINED IN THE SAME CONDITION, INTERIOR.
SO PRETTY MUCH THE, UH, ALL TRASH AND DEBRIS INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE REMAINS INSIDE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, MR. CHAIR? UH, LEGAL, WHAT LEGAL'S GONNA DO IS WE'RE GONNA ASK THAT THESE PHOTOS BE, UM, SHOWN, UM, ON THE SCREEN, ON THE, ON THE SCREEN IF A PROJECTOR.

KIRK SCHWARTZ, PLEASE APPROACH A PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
MY ADDRESS IS 65 65 NORTH MACARTHUR BOULEVARD, SUITE FOUR 70, IRVING, TEXAS 7 5 0 3 9.
UH, UH, WELLS FARGO HAS, THEY'VE GOTTEN A BID, IS YOUR
UH, THEY'VE GOTTEN A BID FOR A DEMOLITION OF THE SHED THAT'S SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED BY 8 16 24.
THEY'RE SOLICITING BIDS FOR A TRASH OUT OF THE PROPERTY.
THEY HOPE TO HAVE ALL BIDS IN BY EIGHT 16 OF 24.
THE ONLY DAMAGE THEY'VE SENT SOMEBODY OUT THERE TO LOOK AT IT.
THE ONLY DAMAGE IS, IS, IS THE CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS ALSO ADVISED IS THAT SOME OF THE RAPTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED.
OTHERWISE, STRUCTURALLY, THE HOUSE IS FINE.
THE SIDING, THE ROOF, EVERYTHING IS FINE EXCEPT FOR SOME OF THE RAFTERS ON THE INSIDE.
THEY ARE SOLICITING BIDS FOR THAT RAFTER REPLACEMENT.
THEY HOPE TO HAVE ALL BIDS IN BY 8 16 24, AT WHICH POINT THEY WILL, UH, GET THE NECESSARY PERMITS AND GET THE RAFTERS REPLACED.
THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS DECEASED.
I'VE NOT HEARD FROM MS. SMITH.
SHE WAS HERE AT THE LAST MEETING, BUT I'VE NOT HEARD FROM HER BEFORE.
BUT I AM AWARE THAT THE OWNER IS DECEASED.
UH, WELLS FARGO HAS CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN AND SECURE THE PROPERTY.
UH, AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS.
UH, ONCE THIS HAS ALL BEEN REPAIRED, THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE, THERE'S BEEN NO PAYMENTS ON THE PROPERTY, SO IT'S IN DEFAULT AT THIS POINT.
SO IT'LL PROBABLY BE MOVED TO FORECLOSURE UPON COMPLETION OF SECURING THE PROPERTY AND EVERYTHING.
AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR TODAY.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. SCHWARTZ? NO.
UM, YOU'RE PURSUING THIS AS REPAIR WHAT? YEAH.
WITH THE FOR DEMO ON THE BACK.
MAKE A SEPARATE FOR EACH? YES.
AND YOU'RE GOING AHEAD AND PURSUING THIS AND TAKING CARE OF IT? OH YEAH.
YOU'RE NOT, ARE YOU TALKING TO THE OTHER PARTY OR YOU'RE JUST GONNA GO? WE UNDER, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT DEED OF TRUST, UH, WE ARE ENTITLED TO MAKE REPAIRS AND SECURE THE PROPERTY.
SO WELLS FARGO IS PROCEEDING WITH TAKING CARE OF THIS ON THEIR OWN.
UM, I DON'T, BASED ON CONVERSATIONS WITH MS. SMITH, UH, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ENOUGH UNITY WITHIN THE FAMILY TO WHO'S GONNA, WHO'S GONNA TAKE OWNERSHIP OF FIXING IT, IS WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO.
AND ALL, ALL YOUR BIDS WILL BE IN AUGUST, IF I HEARD THAT RIGHT? YES.
UH, WE HOPE TO HAVE EVERYTHING COMPLETED, ALL THE BIDS COMPLETED BY 8 16 24 AND BEGIN WORK.
AND THEN THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE GONNA START THE PERMITS.
SO THAT'S STILL, YOU GIVE, OKAY.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY 'CAUSE OF THE DETERMINATION HERE.
THEY'VE, THEY'VE HAD SOMEBODY ALREADY GO AND LOOK AT IT.
THEY'VE DONE THEIR INITIAL ASSESSMENT,
[00:45:01]
THE, YOU KNOW, THE RAFTERS OF THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THE STRUCTURE.UH, SO THEY'VE DONE THAT AND NOW IT'S JUST GETTING THE BIDS TO REPAIR IT.
SO THEY CAME IN AND DID THE INITIAL REVIEW OF EVERYTHING.
AND THEN THEY'RE SOLICITING BIDS INDIVIDUALLY.
BUT YOU'RE SLOW, KIND OF SLOW WALKING THIS RIGHT NOW FOR THE RULING, WHETHER YOU DO TO GET THE IN HERE YES.
TO GET THE RULING DONE AND YES.
THEN YOU CAN SPEED UP THE PROCESS.
I'D LIKE TO CALL AN EXECUTIVE ORDER SESSION OR SESSION.

YOU DIDN'T BRING ANY FINANCIAL PROOF, UH, LETTER CREDIT.
AND IT, AND IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.
AND THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR ANY OF THEM.
I DON'T HAVE THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE ROOF REPAIR OR THE, I DON'T HAVE THAT BID YET, BUT THE ENGINEER'S REPORT.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION OTHER THAN YOU STANDING THERE SAYING THIS IS IN THE PROCESS.
AND THE ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN SO FAR OF SECURING THE PROPERTY? WELL, YEAH, THEY, YEAH, EXACTLY.
AND DOING THE, DOING EVERYTHING AND IN CONTACT WITH THE, WITH, UH, BOTH MYSELF AND THE CODE COMPLIANCE PERSON FOR WELLS.
THEY'VE GOT A WHOLE DEPARTMENT THAT DOES NOTHING BUT CODE COMPLIANCE.
WELL, LET, LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
WHEN YOU GUYS RECEIVE THE PACKET, DID IT HAVE A LIST IN THERE OF EVERYTHING WAS REQUIRED TO COME TO THE HEARING? TODAY? TODAY.
AND EVEN THE LAST TIME, RIGHT.
'CAUSE IT WAS THE SAME PACKAGE.
SO IT, IT REQUIRED YOU TO HAVE PROOF OF FINANCES, ENGINEER'S LETTER, SCOPE OF WORK, AND, AND YEAH, YOU GOTTA HAVE THE TIMELINE RIGHT.
AND I'M IN MY STATEMENT OR THE VERY BEGINNING, IT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
UM, I DON'T HAVE THE BIDS IN ORDER TO PROVIDE AS FAR AS, UH, FINANCIAL PROOF.
AGAIN, IT IS LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, I CAN GO AND SAY I HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT.
BUT THAT DOESN'T SAY I HAVE THE MONEY TO RIGHT.
WHAT IT IS, IS THAT'S THE REQUIREMENT FOR EVERYBODY.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BEING THERE OR NOT, YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE THE, THE DOCUMENTS AND A LETTER FROM AN ENGINEER STATING WHICH IS REQUIRED.
UM, YOU'VE ALREADY SAID THE DEMO, YOU ALREADY HAD THE BID ON THAT, CORRECT? CORRECT.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE CONTRACT.
WELL, IT'S, IT'S NOT ABOUT BRINGING, IT'S THE FACT THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TODAY.
UM, AND RIGHT NOW WE'RE RUNNING ONLY ON WORD, NOT ON ACTUAL TIMELINES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
YOU NEVER ASKED OR SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A TIMELINE.
UH, I SAID THAT BY AUGUST 16TH, NO, WHEN IT'LL BE, SORRY,
[00:50:01]
NOT WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO RECEIVE THE DOCUMENTS OR WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT AS A TIMELINE TO HAVE IT DONE? UH, ONCE I GET THE BIDS, THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO ASCERTAIN THAT.ROBERT BINKY, UH, DID YOU MENTION THAT THE DEMOLITION WAS THEN SCHEDULED FOR THE REAR BUILDING AND THAT IS, IT'S TO BE, IT'S TO BE COMPLETED BY 8 16 24? YES, SIR.
SO BOTH AGAIN, EIGHT 16 IS YOUR MAGIC NUMBER.
DO I HAVE A MO A MOTION AND SECOND PLEASE.
MR. CHAIR, THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
YOU RECOGNIZE I MOTION THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4 3 6 3 REDSTONE DRIVE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER, UH, CITY CODE SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 6 1 5 7, WHICH IS, AND THIS IS FOR THE MAIN, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX.
ARTICLE A SECTION 6 1 5 6 SUBSECTION 1 2 5, 12, 15, 17, 18.
AND I ORDER THAT THE MAIN BE REPAIRED WITHIN 60 DAYS.
YOUR PAPERWORK MUST BE TO THE CODE OFFICER WITHIN 15 DAYS.
THE CODE WILL FOLLOW UP EVERY 15 DAYS.
THE MAIN MUST REMAIN SECURE, MUST BE CLEANED UP AND BROUGHT UP TO THE CODE FOR THE ACCESSORY.
I FIND THAT IT IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AND MUST BE DEMOED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
AND UNDER SECTION OR CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 6 1 5 6 SUBSECTIONS, 1, 2, 8, 12, 15, 17, 18.
AND THE ACCESSORY IS TO BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
WE HAVE A, UH, WHERE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 43 63 REDSTONE DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO.
7 8 2 1 9 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED.
AT THIS TIME, WE'RE GOING TO ISSUE A 60 DAY REPAIR ORDER PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56 FOR SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND WE, WE NEED 15 DAY, UH, WE NEED THE PAPERWORK FOR THE FIRST 15 DAYS TO TELL US WHAT, WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND THEN TO REASSURE THE CODE OFFICER THEREAFTER, 15 DAYS, HE PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE SECURED AND, UH, CLEAN OF, OF, UH, DEBRIS, TRASH AND DEBRIS.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? MS. SAN WEINER? I SECOND MR. CHAIR, THIS IS LEGAL.
HE HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY INFORMATION.
SO, UM, WELLS FARGO HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY INFORMATION, UM, SCOPE OF WORK, PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS, UM, OR AN ENGINEER'S LETTER BASED ON THE FACT THAT HE HAS SHOWN UP.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO, YOU CAN GIVE HIM 30.
UM, BUT, BUT WE CAN'T GIVE HIM MORE THAN 30 DAYS.
HE HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED.
CAN I MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT? WELL, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
DO WE NEED, UH, COUNSEL THEN I'LL AMEND THE REPAIR PART TO 30 DAYS,
[00:55:01]
BUT I'LL STILL, CAN I STILL KEEP THE 15 DAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO GIVE US THE PAPERWORK JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR THAT PAPERWORK'S GOING SOLELY TO CODE ON DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.THIS BOARD'S NOT GONNA KNOW THAT THE PAPERWORK OUT THERE OR NOT.
I'M, I'M JUST, I'M JUST, I I THERE'S NO WAY THAT THIS BOARD'S GONNA FIND OUT THAT THE PAPERWORK GOT THERE UNTIL AFTER THE FACT, AFTER THE 30 DAYS.
NOW, IF THIS BOARD WANTS, THIS BOARD CAN, UM, IF YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM 30 DAYS, THAT'S FINE.
THE BOARD ALSO HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESET AGAIN AND REQUIRE THAT HE BRING THE INFORMATION THAT IS THAT, THAT YOU ALSO HOLD EVERYBODY ELSE UP TO, TO THE EXACT SAME STANDARD.
SO WHETHER WELLS FARGO AS A BANK OR NOT, WELLS FARGO NEEDS TO BRING PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS THAT THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIRS.
IF THAT'S WHAT THE, THE BOARD IS ASKING, WELLS FARGO DOES NEED TO PROVIDE, OR WHOEVER ELSE NEEDS TO PROVIDE A SCOPE OF WORK THAT'S DETAILED THAT THIS BOARD CAN RELY ON.
AND BASED ON THE FACT THAT THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE ROOF, UM, AN ENGINEER'S REPORT'S GONNA BE NEEDED ALSO.
SO, UH, I WOULD URGE THE BOARD TO ENSURE THAT THOSE THREE THINGS ARE PROVIDED TO THIS, UH, PROVIDED TO YOU TO REVIEW IF YOU CHOOSE TO GIVE HIM A RESET.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS HE HAS THAT THEY HAVE 30 DAYS.
AND, AND TO THAT POINT IN THIS, IN THIS DISCUSSION, WE NEEDED ALL THAT TODAY.
AND THAT, THAT, YES, IN, IN, IN THE RESET, UM, IS THE, THE RESET WAS MEANT TO.
SO THE, THOSE, THOSE THREE VITAL PIECES OF INFORMATION ARE AVAILABLE.
SO THIS BOARD CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION, AN INFORMED DETERMINATION.
UM, NOW HE CAN PROVIDE TESTIMONY AS TO THE SCOPE OF WORK AND, AND AN ENGINEER'S REPORT IF HE WANTS TO.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT WAS PROVIDED, BUT WITHOUT IT, UM, IT CAN'T BE MORE THAN 30 DAYS IN REGARDS TO A REPAIR ORDER.
UH, FRED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO AMEND YOUR MOTION? UH, MR. CHAIR, STRIKE THE, UH, MOTION AND I'LL RESUBMIT.
UH, THE FIRST PART, THE SECOND PART STANDS AS THE DEMO FOR 30 DAYS, BUT IT'S ALL GONNA BE ON ONE.
SO THE FIRST ONE, UH, WOULD BE FOR THAT, A MAIN STRUCTURE WOULD BE REPAIR WITHIN 30 DAYS.
I'LL STILL KEEP THE FOLLOW UP IN 15 DAYS FOR CODE.
UH, AND THE PAPERWORK HE'S GONNA HAVE TO PROVIDE, UH, RIGHT.
THE PAPERWORK WILL SCRATCH THAT PART.
AND WHAT WAS YOUR PREVIOUS DISCUSSION? UH, MENTIONED ABOUT 15 DAYS OF WHAT? WELL, HE WAS TO PROVIDE THE, ALL THE SCOPE OF WORK, ALL FOUR DOCUMENTS TO CODE WITHIN 15 DAYS BEFORE HE CAN START HIS WORK.
BUT WE'RE GONNA SCRATCH THAT BASED OFF LEGAL ADVICE.
SO WE'RE GONNA KEEP 30 DAYS INSTEAD OF 60, AND WE'RE GONNA KEEP THE 15 DAYS FOR CODE AND THEN WE'RE STILL GONNA KEEP THE DEMOLITION FOR THE ACCESSORY.
IS THAT ACCEPTABLE COUNSEL? YES.
IF THIS BOARD CHOOSES, THEY, YOU CAN GIVE 'EM A 30 DAY RESET.
IF THIS BOARD CHOOSES, THEY CAN GIVE 'EM A 30 DAY REPAIR.
THEY ALSO HAVE A RESET, UM, IF YOU WANT TO, BUT YES, YOU MAY GIVE 'EM A 30 DAY REPAIR, UM, 15 DAYS STATUS, UH, TO THE CODE OFFICER.
AND THEN IF THE BOARD VOTES IT DOWN, THEN WE'LL HEAR ANOTHER MOTION.
YOU WE CAN DISCUSS IT NOW? NO, WE GOTTA HAVE A SECOND TO, AND THEN A DISCUSSION.
OKAY, MS. SAM WEINER, CAN WE MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND THEN THE BRING AMENDMENT? OKAY.
YOU CAN DO A SECOND AMENDMENT, BUT THAT'S THE WAY THE RULES OF ROBERTS WORK IS.
YOU GOTTA HAVE A SECOND BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE.
SO WE HAVE A, UM, A MOTION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 43 63.
REDSTONE DRIVE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS FEASIBLE FOR REPAIR AT THIS TIME.

AND IF CODE IS CHECKING ON IT EVERY 15 DAYS, SO I AMEND MY, MY FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO SAY THAT IF THE WORK IS NOT DONE IN 30 DAYS, THAT WE WOULD LIKE A STATUS REPORT IN 30 DAYS.
IS ACCEPTABLE LEGAL THAT'S CLARIFIED.
SO I WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S ASKING IS IF THIS BSB ORDER IS NOT FOLLOWED AND THE PROPERTY IS NOT REPAIRED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
DO YOU WANT A REPORT FROM THE CODE OFFICIAL STATING THE STATUS OF THAT PROPERTY? YES.
AND IF IT HAS NOT BEEN FINISHED, WE NEED TO SEE THE PAPERWORK THAT IT, THAT THEY HAVE THE FUNDS AND THEY HAVE THE PERMITS AND THEY HAVE THE ENGINEER'S REPORT THAT HAD BEEN REQUIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I'M HOPING THAT CODE OFFICIAL IS WHERE YEAH.
CAN BE BROUGHT BY THAT CODE OFFICIAL.
UM, I DO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT CODE OFFICIAL UNDER ALSO UNDERSTANDS IF THE WORK IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN A REPORT NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED AND THE PROPERTY PROBABLY NEEDS TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD.
AMIN THOMAS WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BASED ON THE DISCUSSION ON THE CONDITIONS, THIS IS JUST MY RECOMMENDATION, OBVIOUSLY, UM, I CANNOT MAKE THAT UH, CALL, BUT MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO DO A 30 DAY RESET ON THE CASE AND LET THE APPLICANT BRING THE BIG THREE, UH, AND PRESENT THEIR CASE TO YOU.

THE INSPECTION IS A COLLABORATED INSPECTION WITH A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDED THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THE PROPERTY OWNER, JOSE A. GOMEZ IS HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY ALONG WITH SAN ANTONIO POLICE OFFICER BRANDON GUILLEN.
DOES THE BOARD WISH TO CONTINUE? YES, PLEASE.
THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON APRIL 16TH, 2024.
THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 8 3 0 6 RUNNING HORSE STREET WAS CONDUCTED ON JULY 20TH, 2021.
THE ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON JANUARY 18TH, 2022 AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS NOT RETURNED ON JULY 5TH, 2024.
THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 8 3 0 6 RUNNING HORSE STREET ON JULY 2ND, 2024.
THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO JOSE A. GOMEZ AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED, CLAIMED ON JULY 8TH, 2024.
ON JUNE 20TH, 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.
THERE ARE TWO STRUCTURES BEING PRESENTED TODAY.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT IS LOCATED TO THE LEFT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE THAT WAS TAKEN ON JUNE 20TH, 2024.
THE FRONT PORCH, UM, IS AN ADDITION THAT WAS NOT PERMITTED.
THE WOODEN STUDS ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND ARE STARTING TO GET WATER DAMAGE.
THE FRONT PORTION OF THAT ROOF SYSTEM IS SAGGING THE ROOF SYSTEM TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THE SHINGLES ARE WORN AND THERE IS A TARP, UM, LOCATED ON THE REAR PORTION OF THE ROOF AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE TARP, UM, COMING TOWARDS THE FRONT AS WELL.
SO THIS IS GONNA BE THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE, UM, TAKEN FROM THE REAR PROPERTY.
THERE'S THE SIDING IS DETACHING FROM THE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, THE ROOF SHINGLES ARE WORN AND THERE ARE A LOT OF ITEMS BEING STORED AGAINST THE STRUCTURE AND THERE ARE EXTENSION CORDS BEING RAN THROUGHOUT AS WELL.
SO THIS IS GONNA BE THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
BUT THIS WAS TAKEN FROM THE, THE REAR PROPERTY DUE TO THE PRIVACY FENCE.
THE FASCIA BOARDS LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
AND AGAIN, THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEING STORED AGAINST THE STRUCTURE.
SO THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THIS BACK PORTION, UM, IS AN ADDITION THAT ALSO WAS BUILT WITHOUT ANY PERMITS OBTAINED.
SO THIS, UH, PHOTO WAS TAKEN THE DAY OF THE DART IN MARCH.
THIS IS UNDERNEATH THAT ADDITION THAT WAS BUILT WITHOUT ANY PERMITS.
THAT IS A BRAND NEW ROOF SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE STRUCTURE.
SO THIS IS GOING INTO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE STRUCTURE.
THERE ARE SOME CRACKS IN THE SHEET ROCK, BUT THE LIVING ROOM IS, UM, PART OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THE REAR BEDROOM ALSO IS ORIGINAL TO THE STRUCTURE, BUT THE BATHROOM THAT THEY HAVE ADDED IS NOT.
SO THIS IS THE BATHROOM THAT THEY ADDED TO THE BEDROOM TO MAKE IT AN EN SUITE.
UH, AGAIN, ALL PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, AND ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEEN PERMITTED.
SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY INSPECTIONS BY THE CITY TO VERIFY THAT THIS IS SAFE.
THE SHOWER IS UNFINISHED, THE PLUMBING FIXTURES ARE MISSING.
SO THIS IS ANOTHER BACK BEDROOM THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THE SHEET ROCK HAS NOT BEEN, UM, COMPLETED AND THE ELECTRICAL WORK ALSO WAS NOT PERMITTED.
AND THIS WAS TAKEN ON MARCH 19TH, THE DAY OF THE DART.
SO THIS WAS TAKEN JUNE 20TH OF MY REINSPECTION.
THEY HAVE CLEANED UP THE AREA A LITTLE, UM, BUT IT STILL IS IN THE SAME CONDITION.
AND AGAIN, NO PERMITS WERE OBTAINED FOR ANY OF THE WORK DONE.
THERE IS TWO WAYS TO GET INTO THE BEDROOM AT THE TIME OF THE DART ON MARCH 19TH.
UM, THE DECKING DOES HAVE WATER DAMAGE AND THE LIGHT FIXTURE IS
[01:15:01]
HANGING FROM THE CEILING.AND AGAIN, HERE IS THE WATER DAMAGE TO THE DECKING.
SO THAT SECOND ENTRYWAY HAS NOW BEEN, UM, BOARDED UP AND NOW HAS SHEET ROCK OVER IT.
SO THE ONLY WAY INTO THIS BACK BEDROOM IS THROUGH THAT P PREVIOUS BEDROOM I SHOWED YOU.
SO IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR ANY OTHER REASON THAT THEY NEEDED TO GET OUT, THAT WOULD BE THEIR ONLY WAY OUT.
UM, AND THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, UH, PUT DIFFERENT SHEET ROCK UP AND THAT LIGHT FIXTURE IS STILL HANGING FROM THE CEILING.
THIS, AGAIN, IS ORIGINAL TO THE STRUCTURE.
SO ON THE DAY OF THE DART OF MARCH 19TH, THERE WAS EXPOSED HOT WIRES AND ON MY REINSPECTION ON JUNE 20TH, THEY HAVE NOW REWIRED THAT AND ADDED A LIGHT SWITCH AGAIN WITHOUT ANY PERMITS OBTAINED.
SO THIS ROOM IS TO THE LEFT OF THE KITCHEN AREA.
THIS IS ALSO ANOTHER ROOM ADDITION, COMPLETELY NEW CONSTRUCTION ADDED TO THE STRUCTURE WITHOUT ANY PERMITS.
IT'S BEING USED FOR STORAGE FOR OTHER TOOLS AND ITEMS. THIS IS THE DINING AREA.
THIS IS ORIGINAL TO THE STRUCTURE AS WELL, BUT TO THE RIGHT WOULD BE THE EXTERIOR DOOR GOING TO THE OUTSIDE, BUT IT IS NO LONGER LEADING TO THE OUTSIDE.
IT IS LEADING TO AN ADDITIONAL BATHROOM THAT HAS BEEN STARTED TO BE ADDED TO THE STRUCTURE.
IT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED AT THIS TIME.
SO THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
UM, THIS ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS ALSO OCCUPIED.
SO THE, UH, YES, SO THE UM, STUCCO IS DETACHING FROM THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THERE ARE SOME HOLES UNDER THE ROOF SYSTEM AS WELL.
SO THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THEY STARTED TO ADD MORE ADDITIONS.
SO AT THIS TIME IT IS JUST STORING, UM, TRASH AND OTHER DEBRIS.
UH, THIS WAS TAKEN ON THE DAY OF THE DART MARCH 19TH.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS EXTENSION CORDS BEING RAN THROUGHOUT THIS ROOM.
UM, A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BEING STORED AS WELL.
THEY ARE UTILIZING WHATEVER THEY CAN FOR SHELVING.
SO THIS IS A METAL SHELF BEING HUNG BY STRINGS WHERE THEY HAVE A MICROWAVE SO THAT THEY CAN COOK THEIR MEALS.
AND THERE'S MORE EXTENSION CORDS BEING RAN THROUGHOUT AND YOU CANNOT MOVE AROUND IN, IN HERE IF YOU NEEDED TO GET OUT OR IF, UM, EMERGENCY SERVICES NEEDED TO GET IN, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO.
SO THIS IS THE FRONT ROOM OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
UM, THIS IS COMPLETELY BRAND NEW, UM, WITHOUT ANY PERMITS AGAIN.
AND THIS IS THE BACK BEDROOM OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, UM, BUILT COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY PERMITS AND IT IS OCCUPIED CURRENTLY.
THIS IS THE BATHROOM THAT WAS ADDED TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND THE SHOWER IS NOT COMPLETE AS WELL, BUT IT IS STILL BEING UTILIZED.
THE STRUCTURE IS LOCATED AT 8 3 0 6.
RUNNING HORSE STREET ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 12, AND 15 FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 8 3 0 6 RUNNING HORSE STREET.
UM, A CLERICAL ERROR, OR I THINK IT IS ON 7 19 20 21.
DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE THE NOTES? YES, I DO.
CAN YOU LOOK AT THAT FIRST LINE WHERE IT SAYS, BEN, IS IT WHAT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE OR DID SOMETHING HAPPEN THAT, WHAT DATE ARE YOU REFERRING TO, SIR? THE ACTUAL FIRST 7, 19, 20 21, THAT LINE? YES.
IS THERE A CLERICAL ERROR THERE OR IS THERE A WORD SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE? UM, IT'S JUST A, AN ASSESSMENT OF THE, OF THE STRUCTURE, UM, TO VIEW IF IT WAS GOING TO BE A DART INSPECTION.
[01:20:01]
IT JUST STATES THAT THE FRONT ELEVATION, THE WALL COVERING, UM, THERE IS SOME CLERICAL ISSUES FACING YEAH.WHERE BASED OUT, YEAH, SO IT JUST SAYS THAT THERE'S A STACK OF BRICKS STORED ON THE FRONT LAWN AND THEN THE, UH, WINDOWS APPEAR TO BE RECENTLY INSTALLED.
AND THEN LET'S GO TO THE PICTURES NOW ON 60.
WHICH ONE WAS THAT? THE BEDROOM? 61.
THE ONLY EGRESS IS THERE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF THAT WINDOW? SO IT'S THE WINDOW TO THE LEFT, UM, IS ACTUALLY GOING INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE WINDOW TO THE RIGHT THERE IS, IT IS TO THE OUTSIDE.
IS THERE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF THAT THERE? NO.
WELL, TO THE WINDOW OUTSIDE, YES, THERE'S A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS. SO THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT DUE TO THE, THE STORAGE OF ALL THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL.
THAT'S WHY THAT, IF I REMEMBER WHEN THE, YOU WERE SHOWING THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF IN FRONT, EVEN THOUGH YOU SEE LIGHT, YOU STILL CAN'T GET PAST THIS STUFF OUTSIDE.
THE WHOLE REAR PROPERTY IS STORED WITH CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL AND TOOLS.
SO IT'S VERY HARD TO MANEUVER EVEN IN THE REAR PROPERTY.
SO EVEN IF THEY WERE TO TRY TO GET OUT OF THAT WINDOW, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THE ITEMS STACKED AGAINST THE STRUCTURE.
CAN YOU LOOK AT, UH, 64? THIS IS THE ONE THAT WAS REPAIRED OR FIXED.
IS THAT WATER LYING RIGHT THERE OR IS THAT A COAX? THAT'S A COAX.
I WAS GONNA SAY IF IT'S WATER, IT'S NOT AFFIXED TO THE WALL.
AND THEN IF YOU GO TO, WHAT'S THE ONE WITH THE RAFTERS? THE ADD ON? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE EXTERIOR? IT WAS THE INTERIOR RIGHT HERE.
THE, THIS IS AN ADDITION ON, IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, THE RIGHT SIDE IS THE OLD ROOF, CORRECT? YES.
THE NEW ROOF IS A NEW SHEET ROCK.
SO WHATEVER THEY CUT IT WITH, THEY DIDN'T GIVE YOU A CLEAN CUT.
AND THEN IF YOU GO TO, AND THAT IS THE SAME BEDROOM THAT WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT WHERE YOU ASKED THE EGRESS ISSUE.
THEY JUST CHANGED THE WALL COVERING.
NOW WHEN YOU GO TO 59 ON THESE HERE, THE RAFTERS, DID YOU MEASURE THE RAFTERS? NO, I DID NOT.
I DID NOT MEASURE THE RAFTERS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS JUST UNLAWFUL ANYWAY.
UM, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.
'CAUSE OF THE SPACING AND ALL THIS, YOU DIDN'T.
SO EITHER WAY, WHETHER THE SPACING IS CORRECT IS IRRELEVANT AT THIS POINT.
'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN OBTAIN A PERMIT.
IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT MM-HMM.
SO AFTER THAT ADDITIONAL BATHROOM OFF OF THE DINING AREA, YOU GO OUT AND THERE WAS AN EXTERIOR DOOR.
BUT NOW THAT'S ALL SHEET ROCKED OFF.
SO WHEN I WENT BACK ON JUNE 20TH, THIS DOOR THAT I'M STANDING IN IS NOW A, A WALL.
SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE THE SAME AREA OF THE PHOTO DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS DOOR IS NOW A WALL.
NOW PHOTO 51, I'M LOOKING AT, UM, A STRUCTURE TO MY, AS WE'RE LOOKING AT IT, A STRUCTURE TO THE LEFT IS THIS IS TO THE RIGHT IS THE ONE WHERE THE LUMBER IS CORRECT.
TO THE RIGHT IS THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE TO THE FRONT IS THE MAIN RIGHT? YES.
THIS ONE IS THE ONE THAT WHEN IT YOU SHOWED FROM INSIDE HAD ALL THE WOOD LAYING OUT AND THIS IS THE ONE THAT HAD THE NEW YES.
WHAT'S THE ONE TO THE LEFT THAT IS JUST A MAKESHIFT STRUCTURE THAT THEY MADE FOR, FOR, UM, MATERIALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
DID YOU PUT THAT ONE ON? NO, THAT ONE'S NOT, NOT INCLUDED.
THAT ONE ACTUALLY WASN'T THERE WHEN I WAS THERE IN JUNE.
SO THERE'S, THIS PROPERTY IS CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING.
IT'S NEVER IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT IS THE LAST TIME.
THE MATERIALS ARE ALWAYS MOVED.
THERE'S ITEMS ALWAYS DIFFERENT.
THE PROPERTY IS NEVER THE SAME.
SO THE JUST THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS INCLUDED AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT IS BEING OCCUPIED THAT HE MADE, UM, ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION ON.
UM, THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT WE ARE BRINGING TODAY.
THIS IS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT FROM THE EXTERIOR.
SO THIS IS THE MAIN STRUCTURE WALKING OUT OF A REAR DOOR.
THIS IS THE MAIN STRUCTURE WALKING OUT OF THE REAR DOOR.
THIS IS THE ROOF SYSTEM THAT HE HAS ADDED ONTO THE STRUCTURE.
SO THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD ADD-ON? YES.
THERE'S MULTIPLE ADD-ONS THAT HE'S DONE.
IF IT'S THE THIRD THAT HASN'T BEEN COMPLETED OR
[01:25:01]
PERMITTED.YEAH, IT, IT'S UN IT'S, IT'S HARD TO TELL WHAT HE WANTED TO DO WITH THIS.
IF HE WAS MAKING IT LIKE A PATIO AREA OR IF HE WAS GONNA ADD BEDROOMS. AT THIS POINT, IT, IT'S HARD TO TELL.
UM, BUT THIS HAS NOT BEEN PERMITTED.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE THIRD ONE.
THERE, THE BATHROOM, THERE WAS ACTUALLY, THERE'S PROBABLY SIX.
'CAUSE THERE'S THE TWO BEDROOMS, THE BATHROOM, THERE'S TWO BATHROOMS IN THE MAIN THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED.
AND THERE HAS BEEN THREE ROOMS ADDED TO THE MAIN.
AND THEN THERE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THERE HAS BEEN A BATHROOM ADDED, A ROOM THAT'S CON THAT STARTED TO BE ADDED ON THE REAR, A ROOM THAT WAS ADDED THAT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO BE LIVING IN.
AND THEN THE TWO MAIN BEDROOMS THAT ARE OCCUPIED WITHOUT A KITCHEN AREA.
SO IN REFERENCE TO WHERE THIS ONE IS HERE, I HAVE TO FIND IT.
WHERE IS THIS ADD-ON? THIS IS THE REAR BACK? YES, THIS IS THE REAR.
SO THE, THE PREVIOUS PHOTO IS SHOWING YOU THE EXTERIOR PORTION OF IT? YES.
THAT THAT RIGHT THERE IS THE, IF YOU'RE INSIDE, YOU'RE LOOKING OUT AND THIS ONE YOU'RE LOOKING IN.
SO THIS WOULD BE THE BACK PART OF THE HOUSE? YES.
AND THAT'S THE WOOD FOR THE BACK PART? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
EVEN FOR ME, IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING IN THIS ONE
AND SO THE ORIGINAL ELECTRIC PART OF THE HOUSE IS ELECTRIC? YES.
AND NOW I DIDN'T SEE ANY, AND NORMALLY WE SEE THE EXTERIOR METERS AND STUFF AND I DIDN'T SEE ONE IN HERE.
IS THE BOXES, THE METER BOXES, ENOUGH CIRCUITRY FOR THAT? DID YOU LOOK AT THAT? OTHER THAN SEEING THE WIRES THAT WERE HOT.
SO DUE TO ALL THE ITEMS AGAINST THE HOUSE, YOU CANNOT FIND THEM.
SO THE METERS YOU CAN'T, I, I COULD NOT FIND THEM.
AND YOU SAID THE ROOF HAD A TARP, THE REAR PORTION, UM, DID HAVE A TARP SITTING ON TOP OF IT.
SO THAT WOULD BE WHERE THAT SPLICE IS? YES.
WHERE THEY JUST HACKED THE WOOD, NOT MADE A CLEAN CUP, MOST LIKELY.
AND I DID, UM, PRINT OUT GOOGLE EARTH, UM, TO KIND OF SHOW Y'ALL WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IN 2022 AS WELL.
DO YOU HAVE THAT AVAILABLE? WELL, YES I DO.
THAT WILL HELP ME WITH THIS JIGSAW.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY GOOGLE EARTH WOULD ONLY LET ME LOOK AT OCTOBER OF 2022 AND OCTOBER OF 2023.
BUT IT GIVES ENOUGH OF A REFERENCE FOR YOU TO SEE, UM, SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE OVER THE YEARS.
SO RIGHT NOW THAT'S JUST THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE.
THERE'S JUST A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS IN THE REAR YARD, BUT THERE'S NOTHING THERE YET.
WHAT IS THAT BUILDING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEING UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
THAT'S THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT THEY'RE BUILDING WHERE THEY'RE, THAT'S THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE CASE TODAY THAT I'VE SHOWED YOU PHOTOS.
AND THAT'S THE ONE THAT MM-HMM,
BUT IT IS NOW THAT OTHER BUILD, THAT LITTLE ONE WITH THE HOT TUB.
SO THE ADDITION THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT, THAT'S NOT IS WHERE THAT WHITE ON THE MAIN MM-HMM,
THAT IS THE, THAT IS THE ADDITION THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT.
SO WHERE IT STARTS, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S NOT IT.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE STARTING IT.
AND THE OTHER LITTLE ONE ON THE SMALL ROOF TO THE, TO THE TOP, THAT'S THE ADDITION AS WELL, CORRECT? YES.
AND THEN UNDER THE MAIN ROOF TO THE BACK IS THE THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH EDITIONS.
SO THE ORIGINAL FOOTPRINT OF THAT HOUSE IS PROBABLY ONE OR TWO BEDROOM? YES.
SO THE ORIGINAL SQUARE FOOT OF THE STRUCTURE, LET ME TELL YOU.
SO THE ORIGINAL SQUARE FOOT, THEY HAVE THE LIVING AREA AS 1,560 SQUARE FEET WITH A O ATTACHED OPEN PORCH OF 128 SQUARE FEET AND A TERRACE WITH A COVER OF 216 SQUARE FEET AND A TERRACE PATIO SLAB OF 432 SQUARE FEET.
SO WHAT THEY DID IS THEY BUILT THAT ROOF OVER THE SLAB.
[01:30:01]
SO THEY'RE USING ROOF, THEY'RE USING THE SLABS AND JUST ADDING ROOF OVER IT.SO THEY'RE POURING PORCHES AND ADDING.
SO THERE ARE PORCH SLABS, NOT FOUNDATIONS OF SLABS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE IS ROBERT TO HOW MANY PEOPLE, UM, ARE LIVING THERE? SO THERE'S ALWAYS, UH, DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS THERE.
UM, CURRENTLY ON JUNE 20TH, THERE WERE TWO FEMALES AND A MALE STAYING IN THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, THERE'S A FEMALE AND A MALE STAYING IN THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
BUT AGAIN, UM, IT, IT KIND OF VARIES BECAUSE THE DAY OF THE DART, THERE WAS A TOTAL OF, I BELIEVE, 10 INDIVIDUALS, MAYBE MORE, WHICH SAFE CAN PROBABLY VERIFY THAT, BUT THERE WAS ABOUT 10 TO 15 INDIVIDUALS THE DAY OF THE DART.
AND SO, I MEAN, IT APPEARS THAT THERE'S JUST A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE CITY WANTS TO SAY AND CODE VIOLATIONS.
UH, DO THEY UNDERSTAND? I MEAN YES.
IT'S BEEN EXPLAINED THE, THE ISSUES THAT WERE FOUND, UM, AND IT'S BEEN EXPLAINED WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUES.
AND, AND THOSE STEPS WERE NOT TAKEN IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH? YES, IN ENGLISH AND IN SPANISH.
AND THE PICTURE YOU HAVE OF NOW IS THE ONE WE JUST LOOKED AT THE PORCH, CORRECT? YES.
SO THIS IS OCTOBER, 2023, RIGHT? YES.
SO THAT'S WHERE HE WAS STARTING TO BUILD THAT ROOF ADDITION.
AND THE BLUE TARP THAT'S IN THE BACK IS THAT LITTLE SHED WHERE THE HOT WATER OR THE, UH, HOT TUB WAS, IS THAT, THAT IT, IT, YOU, YOU COULD SAY THAT.
I CAN'T CONFIRM BECAUSE THAT THE PICTURE IS BLURRY, SO I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THE BLUE IS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE OF THE ROOF IS COMPLETE UHHUH AND THAT THEY'RE STARTING TO ADD THE ROOF TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE, WHICH IS THAT YES.
AND THEN THE BLUE TARP, AND THAT ONE PICTURE SHOWS A BLUE TARP FOR, OKAY, SO THIS IS IN THREE YEARS, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND KNOW WHERE THE OTHER OTHER ONES FROM WHAT THAT TO THIS AND ALL THE, OKAY.
YOU'VE ASKED TO CUT ALL SERVICES.
IS THAT CORRECT? UH, WE WILL NEED TO SECURE IT ONCE IT IS VACATE VACATED.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER? NO, THANK YOU.
HERE WE HAVE A, UH, A DARK OFFICER, OFFICER, OFFICER BRANDON GUILLEN.
STATE YOUR NAME AND BUSINESS ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UH, GOOD MOR UH, GOOD MORNING BOARD.
I AM WITH THE SOUTH SAFE UNIT.
I AM THE DART LEADER FOR THE SOUTH SERVICE AREA.
BACK IN 2021, OFFICER NATASHA BREWER BROUGHT THE LOCATION TO ME AND SAID, UH, I CAN GET SOME HELP ON IT.
SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE OWNER THERE.
UM, THEY'RE CONSTANTLY GETTING STOLEN VEHICLES AT THE LOCATION IN FRONT, IN THE REAR ALLEY.
UH, RIGHT BEHIND THE LOCATION IS THE CREEK, SO A LOT OF THE STOLEN VEHICLES AND TRAILERS WOULD BE PARKED IN THE BACK OF THIS LOCATION.
UH, SO IT WAS AN ONGOING THING.
WE DID DART IT IN 2021 WHERE WE DID FIND, UM, LUMBER THERE.
NOT TO THE AMOUNT THAT WE JUST FOUND RECENTLY, BUT THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
UH, FROM 2021 ON, WE WERE STILL GETTING STOLEN VEHICLES OUTTA THE LOCATION, UH, MOVING FORWARD.
UM, ON TOP OF THAT, BACK IN 2021, WE WERE GETTING SHOTS FIRED AS WELL.
AND THIS WAS THE END OF THE CO AREA.
SO THINGS WERE KIND OF QUIET, BUT THAT GENERAL AREA WAS STARTING TO PICK UP AND THAT'S WHY NATASHA BREWER BROUGHT IT TO ME.
SO WE, WE DARTED IT AGAIN IN 2024 FOR THE SECOND TIME.
AT THAT TIME, UM, LUMBER JUST LOADS AND LOADS OF, UH, CONSTRUCTION LUMBER THERE.
UH, HE COULDN'T ACCOUNT FOR WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
UM, THAT'S THE, SOME OF THE PICTURES THERE ARE NOT EVEN JUSTICE.
UH, AS FAR AS HOW MUCH WAS ACTUALLY THERE.
UH, WE DID CONFISCATE, UH, A TRAILER, A 16 FOOT TRAILER LOADED DOWN AND A TRUCK LOADED DOWN.
AND THAT'S ALL WE COULD TAKE BECAUSE, UH, AND THAT WAS JUST A SMALL DENT THAT WE COULD TAKE THERE.
THERE WOULD BE NO PLACE TO STORE IT IN OUR PROPERTY ROOM.
UM, WHEN WE DID DART AT THAT LOCATION, THERE WAS IN THE REAR STRUCTURE, THE REC ACCESSORY BUILDING.
THERE WAS FIVE PEOPLE IN THERE,
[01:35:01]
FOUR IN THE FIRST, UH, 'CAUSE IT'S DIVIDED INTO TWO, THAT REAR STRUCTURE.UH, THERE WAS, UH, TWO ADULTS AND TWO TEENAGERS IN THE FIRST ROOM.
THERE WAS ONE OTHER, UH, GENTLEMAN IN THERE, UM, THAT WAS CALLING US.
YOU KNOW, AS WE WERE TELLING HIM, COME ON OUT, COME ON OUT.
HE GOES, YOU COME AND COME GET ME.
I SAID, YOU WANT ME TO COME AND GET ME? SO WE HAD TO FORCE OUR WAY IN THERE AFTER TACTICALLY TALKING ABOUT IT, MAKING ENTRY, GET 'EM OUT THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE, 15, 20, IF NOT 30 MINUTES, KNOCKING, KNOCKING, KNOCKING.
NOBODY COMES TO THE DOOR WHERE THE OTHER FOUR WERE.
UH, WE MADE DETERMINATION AS FAR AS LET'S MAKE ENTRY.
AND THE FOUR, THE TWO ADULTS AND THE TWO TEENAGERS IN THERE PRETENDING LIKE THEY WERE ASLEEP, UM, GET THEM OUT.
UH, FEMALE HAD A, UH, HAD A WARRANT.
GRANDPARENTS CAME TO PICK UP THE, UH, GRANDCHILDREN, RELEASE THE OTHER INDIVIDUAL.
UH, OKAY, SO THAT WAS, THAT WAS THAT ONE.
WE'RE STILL TRYING TO MAKE ENTRY INTO THE MAIN STRUCTURE, WHICH KNOCKING, KNOCKING, KNOCKING.
THE OWNER NEVER WANTED TO COME OUT, NEVER APPROACHED THE DOOR, UH, NEVER SHOWED ANY SIGNS OF MOVEMENT INSIDE.
UH, SO AS WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE ENTRY UNDER SOME OF THAT LUMBER, I THINK IT WAS SLIDE 52, UH, YOU COULD SEE AS FAR AS WHEN YOU LOOK OUT THE REAR STRUCTURE, THE REAR DOOR TO THE LEFT AND THE BOTTOM, UM, THERE WAS SOME LUMBER THERE.
YOU CAN KIND OF SEE, I GUESS WHEN WE WERE THERE, WE KIND OF MOVED THE BLANKETS, BUT THAT WAS ACTUALLY SOMEBODY LIVING UNDER THE BLANK, UNDER THE LUMBER AND HAD CARDBOARD, UH, WHERE IT WAS KIND OF LIKE A COCOON IN THERE.
AND HE WAS LIVING RIGHT OUTTA THAT.
UH, SO GOT HIM DETAINED, HIM, TOOK HIM TO THE FRONT, STILL TRYING TO MAKE ENTRY INTO LOCATION.
UH, NOBODY WOULD COME TO THE DOORS.
WE FINALLY MAKE ENTRY AS FAR AS, UH, AS PER OUR SERGEANT.
UH, DURING OUR INSPECTION, WE DETAINED THE, UH, HOMEOWNER AND A FEMALE.
UH, WE ARRESTED HIM, UH, BECAUSE I BELIEVE HE HAD A, UH, FELONY, UM, ARREST IN THE PAST.
WHILE IN THE HOUSE WE DID RECOVER A, UH, NINE MILLIMETER, WHICH WAS SHOWED TO BE STOLEN.
UM, SO HE, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY WEAPONS INSIDE THE HOUSE.
UM, A LOT OF THE COMPLAINTS IS, UH, HOMELESS GOING IN AND OUT AND LIKE, UM, CODE OFFICER HAD SAID, UH, IT'S NEVER, WE, WE CAN NEVER GET AN ACRONYM OUT.
'CAUSE IT'S ALWAYS CONSTANT PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT.
UH, IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE PLACE TO GO.
UH, AND I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU FROM THE BE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING, OFFICER HERNANDEZ WAS THE OFFICER THAT WAS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE TING THE CASE, BUT HE'S IN QUALIFICATIONS RIGHT NOW.
SO I'M GOING, SOME OF THE STUFF IS BASED OFF OF WHAT HE'S TOLD ME TO PRESENT TODAY.
UH, SO HE IS, UH, HE DID SAY THAT THERE WAS OVERDOSES AT THE LOCATION LOOKING AT THE HISTORY.
UM, AND, UH, UPON FURTHER INSTRUCTURE, UH, LOOKING ON THE PROPERTY, UH, THEY DID HAVE SIX MANHOLES AND MANHOLES ARE PRETTY HEAVY AND THEY BELONG TO PUBLIC WORKS.
AND THOSE WERE ALONG THE FENCE LINE TOO.
SO THE, UH, WHAT I WAS TOLD, I, I DIDN'T GO TO THE REINSPECTION AFTER THE, UH, IN JUNE.
BUT FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD FROM OFFICER HERNANDEZ, UH, IS WHEN THEY WENT BACK, UH, REMEMBER WE TOOK A LOAD AND A HALF OF LUMBER, UH, CONSTRUCTION LUMBER WHEN THEY RETURNED, THEY, THEY HAD REPLACED THAT LUMBER, UH, IF NOT MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD TAKEN.
SO THEY HAD JUST AS MUCH, AGAIN, NOTHING TO ACCOUNT FOR, UH, NOTHING TO SHOW RECEIPTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO, UH, IT'S, IT'S A CONSTANT, IT'S HAPPENING FROM WHAT I'M TOLD, UH, WHAT RESIDENTS ARE TELLING HIM.
IT'S HAPPENING AT THE NIGHT, IN THE NIGHT HOURS, UH, SOMETIMES DURING THE DAY, BUT MORE IN THE NIGHT HOURS IS WHEN THEY'RE DROPPING OFF THE STUFF OR PICKING UP.
SO, UH, IT'S A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS.
IT'S A NUISANCE TO THE COMMUNITY THERE AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, UH, NUISANCE.
UH, YOU KNOW, IF SO, ANY HELP WE CAN GET, UH, MUCH APPRECIATED.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I HAVE.
OH, AND HEALTH INSPECTORS AS WHERE THEY WERE DOING ON THE DARTBOARD, UH, HEALTH INSPECTORS DID, UH, WHEN THEY WERE LOOKING AS FAR AS WHAT THEY DO, THEIR PROTOCOL, THEY DID FIND, UH, 4.25 OUNCES, WHICH IS A, A CANISTER OF NOTHING BUT MARIJUANA, UH, IN ONE OF THE CUPBOARDS.
UH, WE COULDN'T PIN IT ON ANYBODY BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION WHERE IT WAS AT, BUT WE DID CONFISCATE IT.
SO, SO ROBERT TOY, DO WE, UH, IDENTIFY THE, THE MANHOLES IN ANY WAY? UH, THEY DID BELONG TO PUBLIC WORKS.
WE DID CALL THEM AND THEY RE THEY RECOVERED THEM.
HOW MANY? THERE WAS, UH, I COUNTED FIVE, BUT THE OFFICER WAS SAYING THERE WAS SIX.
SO, UH, AGAIN, THE YARD IS COVERED WITH DEBRIS, LUMBER, UH, YOU NAME IT, THEY HAVE IT.
THERE WAS AN ARTICLE THERE THAT ONLY YOU COULD GET FROM THE COMPANY.
UH, I, I BELIEVE IT WAS SOME TYPE OF WINDOW, UH, RUNNING THE SERIAL NUMBER.
WE CALLED THE COMPANY SAYS, OH, YOU CAN ONLY GET THAT THROUGH US.
UH, YOU KNOW, IT WAS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY GOT IT, BUT WE HAD NO COMPLAINANT, SO WE COULDN'T RECOVER THAT.
UM, SO IT'S, UH, AND LIKE, UH, CODE OFFICERS SAID, UH, AS FAR AS THE METER, THAT THERE'S
[01:40:01]
A LOT OF STUFF, LUMBER, UH, ALL SIZES THAT ARE LEANED UP AGAINST THE HOUSE.SO IT'S HARD TO GET IN, LOOK INTO WINDOWS OR MAKE ENTRY.
SO ANY REPORTS FROM, UH, LUMBER YARDS, CONSTRUCTION SITES? NO.
FOLLOW UPS WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT.
UH, IT IS HARD TO, UH, RECOVER LUMBER, UH, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY CONSTRUCTION SITES OUT IN THAT AREA.
THE, THERE'S APARTMENTS ON OLD PEARSALL ROAD, UH, AND IN GENERAL THERE'S A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION GOING ON IN THE AREA.
BUT, UH, WITH NOT, WITH NOTHING TO IDENTIFY IT BEING STOLEN.
AND A LOT OF THE PROPERTY THAT'S IN THE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, A LOT OF 'EM WON'T MAKE REPORTS OR A LOT OF 'EM DON'T CARRY THEIR SERIAL NUMBERS.
UH, THEY WON'T DO THAT LITTLE BIT OF HOMEWORK WHERE THEY JUST KIND OF PUT IT TO A SIDE OR KEEP THE RECEIPTS OR THE BOXES, WHATEVER.
THEY JUST KIND OF DISPOSE OF IT AND THEY WON'T REPORT IT.
THIS IS FRED ANDIS, UH, ONE, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE.
AND TWO, AS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, I KEEP ALL MY RECEIPTS IN THAT
ALL SHOW COINCIDENTALLY AUTO PARTS.
AND ONE OF 'EM SHOWS IN 49 SHOWS THE REAR END AND A TAILGATE IT LOOKS LIKE.
AND IF YOU GO TO 50, IT SHOWS A PIPE.
AND THIS IS THE INTERESTING ONE.
THIS IS THE BACK ALLEY, CORRECT? ON, UH, 51 WHERE WE'RE STANDING HERE LOOKING AT THE HOUSE BEHIND US IS THE ALLEY, CORRECT? YES, SIR.
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE TO YOU? A BRAND NEW DODGE.
AND IT'S PROBABLY SOME MORE AUTO PARTS THERE.
AND THEN IN 52, THE ONE YOU TALKED ABOUT FINDING THE GUY ON THAT BACK WALL, IS THAT TRUCK LIGHTS? UH, THERE, THERE'S, WE, WE DID HAVE, WE, YEAH, WE, WE DID HAVE PROPERTY CRIME DETECTIVES OUT THERE AND YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS AGAIN, RUNNING SERIAL NUMBERS AND SO MUCH PROPERTY, THEY COULDN'T, THEY COULDN'T GET ANYTHING.
YOU GUYS WALKED THROUGH ALL OF THIS JUST TO, I MEAN, THAT'S PROBABLY A YEAR'S WORTH OF GOING THROUGH EVERY ITEM ON IT.
AND YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE, I KNOW THAT'S TWO YEARS AND THIS WAS BEFORE, CORRECT? YES, SIR.
ALWAYS, YOU KNOW MY QUESTION, SCHOOLS, IS THIS AN AREA WHERE, OR THE BACK ALLEY AREA, WHATEVER THAT IS BACK THERE, IS THAT A PUBLIC ACCESS FOR KIDS WHEN THEY GO TO AND FROM THE MAIN? THERE IS A MAIN ROAD THERE, I BELIEVE IT IS, UH, WARHORSE, IF I'M CORRECT, UM, IS THE MAIN STREET TO GET TO ONE OF THE SCHOOLS.
THERE IS A SIDEWALK PROVIDED, BUT AS FAR AS ANY SCHOOLS THAT CLOSE TO THE LOCATION, I'M NOT SURE.
HAVE YOU DEALT WITH ANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS BEFORE OUTSIDE OF THIS HOUSE IN OTHER AREAS? NO, SIR.
ME PERSONALLY, NO, IT'S NOT MY SERVICE AREA.
UH, OFFICER HERNANDEZ CAN VERIFY TO THAT.
UH, HE'S WORKED AT AREA, EVEN ON PATROL AS A PATROL OFFICER NOW HE'S IN OUR SAFE UNIT.
HE DOES KNOW, UH, SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT GO IN AND OUT AND THERE ARE PROBABLY OTHER PLACES WHERE HE RUNS INTO 'EM.
SO THIS IS A GO-TO HOUSE WHEN THE OTHERS ARE BEING, AND THEN WHEN THEY GO HERE, THEY GO TO THE OTHERS? YES SIR.
AND ALL THE PEOPLE YOU FOUND HERE HAVE NOTHING OTHER TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY THAN CRASHED IT JUST TO SLEEP THERE? YES, SIR.
IN FACT, I BELIEVE FROM WHAT OFFICER HERNANDEZ TOLD ME, WHEN WE WENT IN, UH, MARCH OF 2024, THE SAME FEMALE WAS THERE AGAIN IN JUNE.
UM, WHAT SHE WAS TOLD SHE COULDN'T BE THERE, BUT, UH, SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE.
SHE SAID SHE WASN'T STAYING THERE, BUT IT DID SHOW SIGNS THAT SHE WAS STILL STAYING THERE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, SIR.
WE GOT THE, UH, I THINK WE HAVE THE, UH, OWNER JOSE GOMEZ.

SO HE'S BEEN BUILDING, ADDING TO THIS HOUSE FOR 26 YEARS? NO.
HOW LONG? ABOUT 10 YEARS, MORE OR LESS.
SO WHO'S DONE HIS ELECTRICAL? UM, I DON'T HAVE ANYONE SPECIALLY DOING IT.
HE SAYS HE HAS BEEN DOING IT HIMSELF.
HE'S DONE HIS ELECTRICAL, HIS PLUMBING.
HE SAYS YES, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I KNOW HOW TO DO.
ANOTHER PERSON CAME TO DO THE ELECTRICITY.
HE SAID HE DID PLUMBING? YES, SIR, HE DID.

CAN YOU GO TO SLIDE 67, SIR? YOU SEE THAT WHITE AND BLACK PIPE ARE THOSE WATER LINES? YES.

SO FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS HE'S BEEN BUILDING AND HAVING PEOPLE COME AND BUILD FOR HIM.
AND NOBODY HAS GOT LICENSES TO DO THIS? NO, NO INSPECTIONS HAVE BEEN DONE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
[01:50:01]
HE SAID.MR. GOMEZ, WERE YOU THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, UH, WHEN THE DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM DID AN INSPECTION ON THE PROPERTY IN 2021? YES.
AND SIR, DO YOU REMEMBER AT THAT TIME THE THERE WERE CONCERNS WITH, UH, YOUR ELECTRICAL HAZARDS AND THE ACCUMULATION OF WOOD AND LUMBER THAT DID NOT SEEM YOURS? DO YOU RECALL THAT? YES.

SO YOU ARE NOW TELLING THIS BOARD TODAY THAT YOU'RE, YOU, YOU'VE NOW DECIDED TO CHANGE? NO, NO, NO.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I DECIDED RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S, I AM REALIZING THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO CHANGE.
WHEN THE CODE OFFICIAL CAME TO YOUR PROPERTY AND SAPD CAME TO YOUR PROPERTY TO TAKE PICTURES, IT LOOKED LIKE YOU HAD DONE SOME CLEANING UP AND SOME REPAIRS, CORRECT? I THINK I THINK SO.
BUT AT THAT TIME, YOU STILL HAD NOT OBTAINED ANY PERMITS FOR THAT WAS DONE, INCLUDING THE ELECTRICAL? I DON'T WANNA BLAME ANYONE, BUT THAT OFFICER TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET PERMITS.
MR. GOMEZ, AT ANY POINT IN TIME DID YOU EVER TRY TO GET A PERMIT IN? HE SAYS THAT ONE TIME HE CAME HERE TO THIS BUILDING TO, UH, TRY TO GET INFORMED ABOUT WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE HE WAS BUILDING.
UH, THEY ORIENTED, UH, HIM AND, UH, HE, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY, UH, HE DID NOT COMPLETE THE PROCESS.

PRIOR TO YOU DOING THE WORK? OH YEAH.
SO COULD WE NOW MOST OF THE WORK'S ALREADY DONE, THAT'S WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
SO IS THERE A WAY WE CAN GET PERMITS FOR WHAT, WHAT'S ALREADY DONE? I'M GONNA STOP US RIGHT THERE.
IT'S IMPROPER FOR YOU TO POSE QUESTIONS TO THEM.
TODAY'S THE DAY WHERE YOU AND, AND THE OWNER, MR. GOMEZ, PRESENT YOUR CASE AS TO WHY YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS PROPERTY SHOULD BE REPAIRED.
AND IF THERE'S ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN ADD, UH, THAT WAS GREAT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S, IT, IT'D BE IMPROPER FOR YOU TO ASK THIS BOARD QUESTIONS.

PICTURE PRESENTATION CONSISTS OF A SINGLE STORY MAIN STRUCTURE IN DILAPIDATED CONDITION.
THIS, THE, THE AREA THAT WE ARE FOCUSING ON IS THE MAIN, AND THIS IS JUST SHOWING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT THIS PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
IT IS A, A WOOD FRAME RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE ZONE R FIVE BUILT IN 1942.
THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE, THE, UH, FRONT ELEVATION INTERSECTS WITH THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
AT THE BOTTOM, THERE IS SOME SEPARATION IN THE WOOD IN
[02:05:01]
THE, IN THE WALL THERE.THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE, THE REAR ADDITION ON THE RIGHT IS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT.
HERE YOU CAN SEE A CLOSEUP OF THE FOUNDATION AT THE REAR WHERE THE POSTS ARE LEANING.
AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THAT THE WOOD MEMBERS ARE UNEVEN AND THEY'RE JUST HELD TOGETHER IN THE LEFT SIDE, UH, LEFT OF THIS PHOTO BY A METAL PLATE.
AND THERE IS SOME SEPARATION FROM THAT, THOSE WOOD MEMBERS TO THE CONCRETE, UH, PORCH.
HERE YOU CAN SEE A CLOSEUP OF ONE OF THE POSTS THAT WAS INSTALLED AFTER, I MEAN, PRIOR TO THE FIRST BSB ORDER.
UM, THAT POST IS ACTUALLY SPLITTING UP AND DOWN THE MIDDLE AND IT IS DETERIORATING ON THE TOP RIGHT HERE.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE THAT I DID PLACE MY LEVEL TWO THAT HAS SOME ASSISTANCE TO PLACE MY LEVEL TWO TO SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH THE, UH, STRUCTURE IS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT.
ALSO, THE, THE, UH, WOOD MEMBERS ON THE REAR ARE BOWING IN AND OUTWARD, SORT OF LIKE A WAVE.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF MY LEVEL BUBBLE, WHICH IS POSITIONED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT, SHOWING THE EXTENT OF HOW THAT STRUCTURE IS SHIFTING.
WALKING BACK TO THE FRONT ENTRANCE VIA THE LEFT ELEVATION, YOU CAN SEE WHERE, UM, THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE IS CUT, SORT OF LIKE SINKING INTO THE, UH, INTO GRADE, WALKING INTO THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE STRUCTURE, STANDING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR.
FACING OUT THE FLOOR WAS UNLEVELED AND I PLACED MY LEVEL TOOL DOWN.
THIS IS JUST SHOWING HOW A CLOSEUP OF THE LEVEL BUBBLE THAT'S POSITIONED TO THE RIGHT TO SHOW HOW MUCH THE, UH, THAT ROOM IS.
WALK INTO ANOTHER ROOM FROM THE PREVIOUS PHOTO TO THE RIGHT, THERE IS ANOTHER ROOM AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FLOOR SURFACE IS CRACKING.
AND ALSO THAT ROOM IS UNLEVELED.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THAT LEVEL BUBBLE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE UH, LEVEL BUBBLE IS POSITIONED TO THE RIGHT.
THIS IS A VIEW OF THE KITCHEN AND I WANTED YOU TO FOCUS ON THE FLOOR SURFACE AT THE BACK ENTRANCE DOOR THAT JUST HAS A PLY, A PIECE OF PLYWOOD PLACED ON THE FLOOR, JO.
AND IT IS VERY SPONGY IN THAT AREA.
AND THERE IS SOME SEPARATION BETWEEN THE DOOR THRESHOLD AND THAT, UH, FLOOR SURFACE.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP JUST TO SHOW THE EXTENT OF HOW MUCH THE SEPARATION IS AND TO SEE, SHOW YOU HOW, UH, POORLY PLACED THAT PLYWOOD IS IN THAT AREA.
THAT'S PROBABLY WHY IT WAS EXTREMELY SPONGY TO WALK IN.
THIS IS A VIEW OF ONE OF THE BATHROOMS IN, IN THE, UH, STRUCTURE.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS A LOOSE, UH, LIGHT FIXTURE THAT'S HANGING AND IT IS SOME EXPOSED WIRING LOOKING DOWN IN THAT SAME BATHROOM, I WANTED TO SHOW THE SEPARATION BETWEEN THE FLOOR SURFACE AND THE RIGHT WALL AND THE TUB AREA.
THIS IS ANOTHER BATHROOM INSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
UM, I WANTED YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE RIGHT WALL AND THE BATHTUB.
THERE IS SOME SEPARATION, UH, IN THE WALLS AND THE FLOOR SURFACE IS DETERIORATING.
THIS IS THAT ROOM AT THE REAR THAT IS SHIFTING.
UH, I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THAT THIS IS NOTHING BUT PLYWOOD ON FLOOR JOISTS.
THIS ROOM IS EXTREMELY SPONGY TO WALK ON.
I I WAS VERY CAREFUL WALKING IN THERE, BUT I WANTED TO POKE.
GET YOUR ATTENTION TO THE CRACK.
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE DOOR AREA.
THAT CRACK RUNS ALONG THE RIGHT WALL AND THE LEFT WALL FACING THAT REAR DOOR.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THAT CRACK WHERE YOU CAN SEE GRADE ALL THE WAY ALONG.
SO IT'S JUST SHOWING HOW THE PLYWOOD IS JUST PLACED ON THE FLOOR JOISTS.
THIS IS A SINGLE STORY WOOD FRAME MAIN RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE ZONED R FIVE AND BUILT IN 1942.
THE FOUNDATION IS A PIER AND BEAM, WHICH IS SINKING INTO GRADE AT THE FRONT ELEVATION AND THE LEFT ELEVATION, THE POSTS AT THE REAR ARE LEANING.
ONE OF THE POSTS IS SPLITTING IN THE MIDDLE AND DETERIORATING AT THE TOP RIGHT.
THE FLOORS IN TWO ROOMS ARE UNEVEN.
THE KITCHEN FLOOR SURFACE NEAR THE REAR ENTRANCE DOOR IS SPONGY AND CONTAINS SEPARATION FROM THE DOOR THRESHOLD.
THE FLOOR SURFACE IN THE REAR ROOM CONTAINS A CRACK, AND YOU CAN SEE GRADE.
THERE IS A LOOSE LIGHT FIXTURE WITH EXPOSED WIRING IN ONE BEDROOM.
TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 4 9 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE IS IN VIOLATION
[02:10:01]
OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.

PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 4 9 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE.
DID YOU READ THAT? YES, I DID.
AND THAT ENGINEER REPORT WAS OBTAINED PRIOR TO THE FIRST BSB ORDER.
I DID MAKE A CORRESPONDENCE WITH VIA PHONE.
I SPOKE WITH THE ENGINEER ON, ON JUNE 21ST.
HE STATED TO ME THAT AS OF JANUARY 15TH, HE COULD, HE LOST ALL COMMUNICATION WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND THAT HE WAS NO LONGER, UH, GOING TO TAKE THE JOB ANYMORE.
SO I, I REQUESTED, UH, AN EMAIL FOR THAT.
HE SENT THAT TO ME ON THE 24TH STATING THAT HE WOULD, HE JUST STATED THAT HE HASN'T HEARD FROM HER SINCE THE 20, UH, OF JANUARY 15TH, 2024.
THIS LETTER DATED JANUARY 24TH, 2024.
WHAT LETTER? UH, YES, THE, THAT HE, SAY THAT AGAIN, I'M SO SORRY.
HE STATED THIS JANUARY 24TH, 2024.
IF HE LOST CONTACT JANUARY 15TH AND HE SENDS A LETTER, I COULD, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY HE DID THAT, BUT HE, HE, FRANK MARTINEZ, I THINK HIS NAME IS MR. MARTINEZ.
HE'S THE, HE, WHAT HAPPENED WAS HE WAS CONTACTED BY MS. MS. MAYA SHOE TO BE TO, TO BE THE ENGINEER THAT'S GONNA MAKE THE REPAIRS FOR THE FOUNDATION.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE IN THE FIRST OPENING PART HE SAYS, SUM IT UP, THEY WILL VISIT THE SITE AND THE WORK IS BEING DONE IN JULY 11TH, 2024.
IS THERE A PERMIT? THERE IS A PERMIT FOR FOUNDATION, UH, UH, PERMIT.
THERE IS ONE ON RECORD AND IT DOES EXPIRE THIS MONTH.
NOW 33, THE ONE YOU JUST SHOWED, THE LAST TWO PIECES? YES.
UH, SLIDE 33 OR JPEG 33, WHICHEVER ONE YOU GUYS WANNA CALL IT.
THE LEFT CORNER IS WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BEING OFF.
CORRECT? UH, THE WHOLE ENTIRE FLOOR, THAT WHOLE ENTIRE FLOOR IS JUST PLYWOOD.
THAT, THAT FLOOR IS THE, FROM THE LAST INSPECTION.
AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT PHOTO, YES.
34 IS THE PART WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT CRIME.
UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT THE LAST PICTURES WE SAW ABOUT SOMEBODY CUTTING PLYWOOD IN THIS ONE, DID THEY NOT KNOW HOW TO SQUARE PLYWOOD? UM, THAT IS JUST AN INDICATION THAT THE FLOOR'S STILL NOT LEVEL.
AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING ABOUT THAT FLOOR.
THE REASON WHY I DIDN'T PLACE MY LEVEL TOOL, BECAUSE I HAD ENOUGH EVIDENCE FROM THE EXTERIOR SHOWING THAT IT WAS SHIFTING TO THE LEFT.
THIS ONE IS THE ONE THAT YOU MENTIONED EARLIER.
DID IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY PUT IN ALREADY CRACKED.
DID THEY? THIS ONE DID JAK 20 WHEN THEY PUT THE, THAT'S NOT EVEN A HURRICANE STRAP ACTUALLY.
UM, THIS IS A ONE THAT THEY REPLACED OR THEY DIDN'T TOUCH THIS.
THE, THE, UM, POST TO THE LEFT OF THAT, OF THAT MIDDLE POST THAT YOU SEE THAT YOU'RE FOLK, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL POST.
SO SHE INSTALLED THAT, THE SE THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AF RIGHT BEFORE THE BSB ORDER TO STATE THAT SHE WAS MAKING REPAIRS AND IT WAS HELD, MY CONCERN WAS IT'S JUST HELD TOGETHER BY A THIN PIECE OF, UH, METAL.
AND 21, THE NEXT PICTURE SHOWS CLEAR EVERY ONE OF 'EM.
IN FACT, THE NEXT ONE WITH THAT PAINT OF GLASS ACTUALLY SHOWS IT.
AND THE CORNER WENT ACTUALLY SHOWS THAT THEY PUT THE STRAPS IN PROPER EXACTLY.
BECAUSE THOSE ARE HURRICANE STRAPP THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE TIED TO THE STUDS.
IF THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO CALL 'EM.
H AND THEN THEY, THIS IS THE STEEL PIECE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT? YES.
PART HERE IN RELATION TO WHAT WE SAW EARLIER IS WHICH FLOOR? THE WOODEN ONE
[02:15:01]
OR THE PLYWOOD? THAT FLOOR, THAT STRUCTURE RIGHT THERE.THAT PART OF THE, THE, THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS THE ONE WITH THE PLYWOOD THAT HAS THE, THE, UH, CRACK.
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING, THE SEC, LAST TWO PIECES.
SO ON THE WOODEN FLOOR THAT YOU SHOWED IN 24, THAT'S THE FRONT DOOR THAT'S, THEY HADN'T TOUCHED THIS? NO, THAT WASN'T TOUCHED AT ALL.
AND IT, IT, IT ACTUALLY IS SINKING INTO GRADE IN THE FRONT.
AND, AND THEN YOU GO TO 26TH, THIS IS, I'M ASSUMING A BEDROOM.
WHEN YOU FIRST WALK INTO THE, THE STRUCTURE AND YOU GO UP, THERE'S TWO DOORS, ONE TO YOUR LEFT AND ONE THAT GOES TO THE KITCHEN AREA AND TO THE BATHROOM AREAS.
SO TO THE LEFT IS, I THINK IT'S A BEDROOM.
UH, BUT THERE WAS NO BED TO INDICATE WHAT ROOM THEY WERE GONNA USE IT FOR.
NOW THIS IS TONGUE AND GROOVE.
THIS IS AN OLD, THIS IS YOUR ACTUAL ORIGINAL FLOOR.
AND IT'S SNAPPY DOWN THAT CENTER RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR LEVEL TO LEFT.
THAT CENTER LINE TELLS ME THAT THE EXTERIOR IS SINKING.
DID, DID THEY, IS THERE ANY SIGNS THAT THEY WOULD, DID ANYTHING TO THIS PART? NO, SIR.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT ONE OF THE PHOTOS, AND I STATED THAT I WAS WALKING TO THE FRONT ENTRANCE VIA THE LEFT ELEVATION.
I WOULD WALK PAST THAT WINDOW AND THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD SEE THE ONLY REASON WHY I COULDN'T GET A GREAT PHOTO OF IT SINKING TO SHOW A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH.
SO YOU CAN SEE BETTER IS BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY TO THE ABUTTING GATE.
IT WAS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF UH, FEET.
SO I WASN'T ABLE TO ACTUALLY STAND OVER IT.
BUT YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT IS SLIGHTLY.
YEAH, IT'S WHERE IT'S SLIGHTLY IS THAT PIER AND BEAM OR IS IT SLAB? IT'S PIER AND BEAM.
BECAUSE I DID SPEAK TO A FEW CONTRACTORS IN THE BEGINNING AND I SPOKE WITH THEM.
SO THE JPEG 16, WHICH IS THE, THE FRONT ELEVATION.
SHOWS, I MEAN IT'S WAY DOWN THERE.
IT IS EXTREMELY, IT'S SINKING IN.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY, I DIDN'T PUT, BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF PHOTOS THAT I HAD, I COULD PRODUCE.
UM, THERE IS SEPARATION BETWEEN THE PORCH, UH, LANDING AND THE, THE, UM, FRONT DOOR WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE PORCH LANDING IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE ENTRANCE TO THE FRONT DOOR.
AND THAT'S THE ROOM THAT HAS THAT BEVEL WHERE THE LEVEL IS.
IS THAT, IS THAT SECOND LEVEL THE ONE TO THE RIGHT THAT HAS THAT CROOKED? THE, THE WHERE IT HAS DO NOT THAT ONE THERE WAS THE FIRST FLOOR? YES.
THAT NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN TOUCHED.
THEY'VE ONLY DID THE ADD-ON THE ONLY, ONLY REP.
THE ONLY THING THAT FROM MY OBSERVATION ON MY INSPECTIONS WERE I SAW THAT DRYWALL WAS INSTALLED FROM, INSTALLED FROM THE LAST BSB ORDER.
THERE WAS SOME PAINTING TAKING PLACE, BUT NO, UH, EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS ANY OF THE FOUNDATION, WHICH WAS MY MAIN CONCERN.
BUT WHAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED IS NOT ADEQUATE.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR.
I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE THE OWNER, MAYA SHU, CAN YOU PLEASE APPROACH A PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
MAYA CHU 1 2 6 1 9 OLD WEEK LAW SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 3 0.
AND YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD? MAYA CHU.
PRESENT YOUR CASE ON THE I DID BRING THE NEW PICTURE.
I DO THE CONSTRUCTION, THE, THE PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS.
AND THE, THE OFFICER SAID THE WOOD, IT'S ALREADY CRACK.
AND I USED THE POST FOR FOUR BY SIX.
I FOUND ONLY PLACE IS EVERY THE HOME DEPOT, THE LAST SIX OF THEM.
IT, IT'S SOME WAY HIT THE CRACK.
I WANT TO SELECT THE GOOD WOOD, BUT I CANNOT FIND THE FOUR BY FOUR, FOUR BY SIX
[02:20:01]
INSTEAD TO USE A FOUR BY FOUR FOR THE STRONGER.AND I, YESTERDAY I TOOK THE PICTURE, THE PATH.
IT DID THE, BUT NOW I DO EVERYTHING AND INCLUDE THE FOUNDATION.
AND ONLY THING IS HOLDING IS, UH, FOR THE ENGINEERING TO RELEASE.
I, I, ONE THING I MAKE THE MISTAKE.
I DID NOT KNOW DURING THE TIME I STILL NEEDED THE ENGINEERING TO, TO DO THIS.
I SAID WELL LONG AS, UH, IN CO CO COMPLIANT THE OFFICE IS OKAY, BUT APPARENTLY KIND OF LIKE A DIFFERENT CONCEPT, DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDING.
SO HE EVEN DIDN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG UNTIL HE COME MAKE THE PICTURE.
I SAY EVERYTHING IS ALREADY REDONE.
AND HOW COME THAT I PUT THE NEW LAUGHTER AND NEW PRIVATE NEW FLOOR.
THE BIG PART I TOOK OUT AND PUT THE NEW ONE IN AND LEVEL IN.
WHAT IS THE, THE WHOLE, THE BIG ROOM IS ONLY ABOUT SIZE.
AND I PUT THE SIX POLE ALONG THE AGES.
AND THEN THE NINE POLE, WHEN I TOOK THE ALL THE FLOOR OUT, PUT THE NEW THREE QUARTER PLYWOOD, I PUT THE NINE POLES INSIDE.
SO TOTAL FOR THAT SIZE, I PUT THE 15 THING TO SUPPORT AND ENGINEERING THE CHECK.
WHEN ENGINEERING COME, I ALREADY FINISH, BUT ENGINEER REQUIRE ME TO COME BACK.
SECOND TRIP HE SAID HAVE THE ORDER TO DIG UNTIL HE FINISHED THE, UNTIL THE CONCRETE POOL.
SO WHICH IS WE DID, WE DIG IN THE 18 INCHES AND THAT'S WHY THE ENGINEER WRITE THAT DATA.
AND AS OF TODAY, PERMITS STILL GOOD AND THE ENGINEERING AS UH, THEY CALL THE ASSUMPTION ENGINEERING ON THE REGULAR.
AND WHEN, WHEN I TALKED TO THE OFFICER LAST, UH, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THEN FINALLY DURING THE CONVERSATION WHERE, AND THEN HE SAID NEED THE ENGINEER.
SO FRIDAY, EARLY MORNING I HURRIED TO CONTACT THE ENGINEER TO SCHEDULE.
HE SAID HE'S ALREADY SCHEDULED FOR THE VACATION.
SO HE TELL ME TO ASK FOR THE EXTENSION, FOR THE RESET, THE DAY HE WILL BE.
AND I'M WAITING TO DO WHAT THE ENGINEER, IF ANY, NEEDED TO BE IMPROVEMENT.
I HAVE THE, I HAVE NO PROBLEM FOR FINANCIAL STRESS.
AND, AND ALSO THE, I WANT TO DO THE RIGHT.
I I DON'T DRAW THE MONEY AWAY.
AND MA'AM, THIS, ON THIS PICTURE YOU HAVE, WILL YOU EXPLAIN THAT PICTURE? YES.
I, I GO UNDER THE KNEE TO TAKE THE PICTURE TO SEE ALL THE NEW WOOD, EVERYTHING.
IT'S NEW BUT THAT WHERE IS THAT.
WHERE IS THAT? WHERE'S THE PICTURE TAKEN FROM? IT'S, I GO ON THE LAST ROOM.
THE, THE ONE, THE ADDITIONAL FIRST.
[02:25:01]
ORIGINAL, BUT IT'S BUILT BY THE, ONE OF THE PREVIOUS TENANT.THEY EVEN DOESN'T TELL ME THEY BUY.
WHERE IS THAT PICTURE TAKEN FROM? I GO UNDERNEATH.
CAN WE GO TO, UH, 21? THERE YOU GO.
CAN WE GO TO SLIDE 21 REAL QUICK? I'M GONNA SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
THIS IS, SO WE'RE, WE'RE ON THE SAME, THE ADDITIONS I KNOW YESTERDAY ON SLIDE RIGHT HERE.
ONLY THE ONE PICTURE I AM NOT SURE.
IS THIS ONE THE FIRST ONE? OKAY.
I ALMOST DON'T WANT TO PUT IN THERE TODAY, BUT I THOUGHT WELL, POSSIBLY, BECAUSE I TAKE THE, CAN WE GO BACK THE, CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT PICTURE PLEASE? SO THIS HERE IS THE FLOOR, THE PLYWOOD FLOOR ON THE ADDITION.
AND THAT'S THE RAFTERS OR THE THESE, UH, JOY THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HOLDING IT UP, RIGHT? YEAH.
I PUT THE NEW, NEW JAW JOINT AND I'M NOT SURE ON THIS ONE BECAUSE YESTERDAY I, WHEN I SEE THE PICTURE, I CANNOT REALLY SURE TO, TO DEFINITE WHERE THAT COME FROM WHEN YOU SEE MORE.
BUT I REMEMBER I DETECT THE, THE CAMERA.
IT'S UNDER THE, UNDER THE PIPE, WHICH TRY TO, OKAY.
WHERE THIS PICTURE PROBABLY THIS IS WHEN THE, WHEN THE GUY TOOK THE OLD ONE OUT AND START TO DO THE RIGHT THERE.
THIS ONE HERE IS THE, THE, WHEN HE START TO PEEKING.
OKAY, THIS ONE HERE IS WHERE THE BUCKET WAS ON THE FLOOR.
THAT'S THE ONE THAT THEY CUT THE PLYWOOD SHORT.
AND THEN HE USED, NOW HE USED THE BUNDLE.
HE USED THE, IT'S ALREADY I THINK THE ONE LOOK LIKE THE TOP PAPER OR SOMETHING.
AND I'LL SHOW YOU A PICTURE IN A LITTLE BIT THAT YOU LINE THAT WITH THAT.
SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE PLYWOOD, NOT THE ADDITION.
THIS IS THE MAIN HOUSE THAT HAS THE PLYWOOD FLOOR, CORRECT? THE PLYWOOD.
BUT IS A ADDITION NOT ORIGINAL.
SO THIS FLOOR HERE IS WHICH ONE? THIS IS THE ROOM WITH THE BUCKET WITH THE PLYWOOD.
THEY WAS SO THE, THEY WAS, HOLD ON, MA CAN CO COME BACK UP 'CAUSE WE'LL GET A LITTLE CLARIFICATION HERE.
BRIAR BLEDSO DANGEROUS PREMISES OFFICER.
THAT IT, THIS PHOTO I'VE, I IF SHE'S SAYING THAT THIS IS THE ADDITION, THIS UH, OF THAT PLYWOOD THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THE PLYWOOD FOR FLOOR IS THE ADDITION.
THAT IS THE, THE ONE WITH THE BUCKET.
THE ONE WITH THE BUCKET, YES SIR.
OKAY, SO THIS IS THE ONE YOU SAID YOU WERE WALKING AND IT WAS SPONGY EXTREME THAT NOW I SEE IF THIS IS EXACTLY YES.
NOW I SEE EXACT, WHEN I WENT TO GET THE PHOTO OF THE CRACK, UM, IT KIND OF ALMOST GAVE ON ME A FEW TIMES.
SO I TOOK THE PHOTO, CAME BACK AS FAST AS I COULD.
NOW I SEE BECAUSE THE FLOOR JOISTS AND NOT THERE, YOU COULD KIND OF PICTURE MENTALLY IN THERE, 34 HAD THAT CUT AND THEN IT WENT, THE CRACK IS WHERE IN HERE, I WOULD SAY THE CRACK, IF THIS IS THE EXACT ROOM OF THAT ADDITION, WOULD BE TO THE RIGHT OF THIS PHOTO.
SO IT'S NOT EVEN ON A JOIST TO SUPPORT BOTH.
IT'S RUNNING DOWN THE LINE WITH THE JOIST.
SO IF ONE IS ON A JOIST AND THE OTHERS AREN'T, IF WE WERE TO MAKE THAT ASSUMPTIONS, SIR? YES SIR.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT 33, IF YOU COULD BACK UP TO 33.
SO THOSE RAFTERS ARE RUNNING WITH THE PLYWOOD AND ONE PIECE ISN'T ON IT.
IF THE OTHER ONE IS, IT'S CAN LEERY.
SO THE FLOOR'S NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORTED IF THAT'S THE TRUE PICTURE.
THAT'S WHY I, I DIDN'T, I MADE MY, MY APPROACH TO GET THAT PHOTO AS CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE.
[02:30:01]
OH, OKAY.CAN WE SEE THE NEXT PICTURE THAT HOW MANY YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF 'EM, RIGHT? OKAY.
AND THAT IS LONG BECAUSE WHEN I TOOK THE PICTURE, THAT WAS SOMETIMES AGO WHEN THE, THE ORGAN START TO DIG IN.
I JUST WANT TO SHOW THAT IT'S THE OLD ONE IS ALREADY GONE.
SO I TOOK THAT PICTURE AND HE START TO DO IT AND I BUY THE 16 TOTAL.
I DIDN'T HAVE THE, AND I HAVE ONE MOMENT, MAN.
CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT ONE PICTURE? SO THEY REPLACED YES.
AND I FEEL THE LONG, THE OFFICER, I DON'T KNOW HIS, BECAUSE DOESN'T KNOW THE CONSTRUCTION WELL WAS INTENT TO TWIST, TWIST THE TRUTH AND THE, THE WHOLE THING I CHANGED, I, I TOOK THE WHOLE ADDITIONAL OUT.
NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THEY REPLACED WITH TWO BY EIGHT? YES.
SO THEY RE THE TOTAL AND EVERY, EVERY ONE FOOT 12 INCHES.
I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY, BUT BECAUSE OKAY, WHEN THE TENANT DO THIS ADDITION, THEY PUT THE SKYLIGHT AND PUT THE SKYLIGHT ON THE LOOM.
AND THEY DIDN'T INSTALL CORRECTING WHOLE, THE WATER POURING.
AND SO I CHANGED THE ROOF TWO YEARS AGO.
OKAY, NOW THE, THE NEXT PICTURE IS THE FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE.
WHAT, WHAT, WHAT'S THIS ONE? THIS ONE TO SHOW, I PUT THE SOMETHING AND FACEBOOK BEFORE THIS OLD HOUSE DOESN'T HAVE, AND AFTER THE LAST GO A LITTLE BIT TO THE MIC 'CAUSE WE'RE LOSING YOU A LITTLE BIT.
AFTER THE LAST HEARING, I START TO REMODEL THE TOTAL REMODEL, EVEN THE OUTSIDE, INSIDE AND SOME OF THE WINDOW.
BEFORE THIS PROPERTY WAS BOUGHT UP AND NOW I PUT THE, THE WINDOW, WHICH IS A NEEDED, REPLACED NEW WINDOW AND I PUT THE, THE BEFORE DOESN'T HIT THE FACIAL BOWL AND DOESN'T HIT THE, SO, AND ONCE I DO IT, I DO IT TOGETHER.
NEW SOFT, NEW FACIAL BOWL AND WINDOW ALL REPLACE ALL THE WINDOW THE GLASS NEEDED.
OKAY, BUT YOU DIDN'T DO NOTHING WITH THE FLOOR YET ON THE OLD CONSTRUCTION? NO, NO, THIS, THIS HERE YOU ONLY DID WINDOWS SOFFIT AND FACIA.
NO, I THEN I TOOK THE ADDITION THERE.
I TOOK ALL THE, THE, THE POLE REPLACED THE FOUR BY SIX, THE MIDDLE, I REPLACED THE NINE.
AND THEN ON THE EIGHTH I REPLACED THE SIX WITH THE, WITH THE FOUR BY SIX AND I USE ALL THE TREATED WOOD.
OKAY, WE'LL GET TO THE BACK ONE IN A MINUTE.
THIS ONE IS WINDOWS, SOFFIT AND FASCIA.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SHOWING US HERE? YES.
IS THERE ANOTHER PICTURE? YES.
WHAT ON THIS ONE IS, IS CHANGED? I, BEFORE THE SIDING WAS ALL THE KIND, LIKE A TONE OR TONE OR I USED THE BUNDLE AND ONLY THING I WANT TO DO YESTERDAY, THE GUY, IT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME TO REPLACE.
UH, IS IS THIS, IS THIS PICTURE TAKEN FROM THE BACK OF THE HOUSE? WELL IT ON THE, ON THE BACKSIDE? YEAH.
EITHER TO BE FROM THE FRONT OR FROM THE BACK BECAUSE THE SPACE, IT'S
[02:35:01]
NOT THAT BIG.LET, LET, LET ME ASK YOU THIS, CAN WE GO TO SLIDE 23? IS THIS A DIFFERENT SIDE? NO, SAME.
YOU'RE TAKING IT FROM THE OTHER SIDE, RIGHT? RIGHT, RIGHT.
YOU TOOK IT FROM THE OPPOSITE? YES.
SO THIS SIDE HERE, IT SHOWS A LITTLE CLEARER.
YOU, YOU REPLACED ALL THIS SIDING DOWN HERE AT THE BOTTOM, BELOW THE WINDOW.
WELL, THEY ALREADY THERE, WE JUST, UH, DO SCHOOL AND WHATEVER THE I, I BUY THE COUPLE THOUSAND OF THE CRACKING TO SEAL AND THIS I INTEND TO THE WINDOW.
IS THERE ANY MORE PICTURES? I THINK SO.
I GET TO THESE AND THEN I'LL, I'M GONNA LOOK THROUGH THESE AND THIS IS, UH, THE THREE WINDOW.
I REPLACE A NEW ONE AND WE SEARCH WINDOW TWIN.
MA'AM, WHO IS DOING THE WORK FOR YOU? I HAVE THE HERNANDEZ.
NOW HE, HE DO THE ALARM HEIGHTS THAT YESTERDAY, THAT TWO 3 MILLION HOUSE, HE, HE BEEN HELP ME FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS.
SO P AGREE TO SEE WHO, WHO ARE AVAILABLE.
SO HE IS LICENSED A LICENSED CONTRACTOR? YES.
AND HE'S DOING ALL THE WORK HIMSELF.
WELL THEN HE HIDE THE CLUE LIKE A COUPLE OTHER AND OH, LIKE THIS SIGHTING I, THIS LAST WEEK I BUY FROM THE MG AND THAT IS A SHOW.
IT'S BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH ME TO HOLD THE, TO HOLD THE LABEL.
IT'S ON THE CENTER AFTER THEY CORRECT IT.
AND I DIDN'T, I ASKED THE ENGINEER, DO I SUPPOSED TAKE THE OLD OLD POLE OUT? HE SAID, NO, JUST LEAVE THERE.
DOESN'T HURT FOR THE OLD ONE THERE.
AND THE FIXTURE NOT HANGING HERE IS A FIXTURE.
SAVE PICTURE HAD A LIGHT FIXTURE, I FEEL.
SOMETHING DONE IS FOR ME TO SEE.
I CANNOT SPEAK UP AND I DON'T KNOW WHO'S SUPPOSED TO, TO BE TELL THE TRUTH.
WELL, MS. HUGH, THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN LIKE A WEEK AGO.
MY, THE PICTURES THAT THE OFFICER HAS PRESENTED WERE TAKEN A WEEK AGO.
AND I, HE, HE DIDN'T TELL ME WHEN, I MEAN WHERE TO IMPROVEMENT, BUT I ALWAYS, UH, PAY ATTENTION WHERE HE TAKE THE PICTURE BECAUSE HE DON'T TAKE THE GOOD PICTURE.
HE ONLY LIKE, UH, HE SAID THOSE, IT'S, IT'S ALREADY COLLECTED.
SO EVERY TIME WHEN HE TAKE THE PICTURE, I FOLLOW UP TO TAKE, LOOK AT IT AND DO THOSE IMPROVEMENT.
AND NOW IT'S WAITING BECAUSE THE ENGINEERING WENT TO THE APPLICATION.
SO IT IS A WAY FOR THE ENGINEERING TO PROVE, TO DO THIS FAST.
I CONCERN I COMPLETE, BUT WHATEVER, IF ENGINEERING TELL ME WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE, I WILL, I'M WILLING AND DO IT QUICKLY.
DO YOU HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO HELP YOU MA'AM? YES.
I, I HAVE THE SEVERAL PEOPLE AND I HAVE THE ABOUT 30 PROPERTY.
[02:40:01]
THE LOT OF THE TENANT WHEN I NEED HELP, THEY, THEY WILL ARRANGE THE TIME, NOT JUST THE TENANT.I HAVE SEVERAL GROUP, I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS, UH, I PURCHASED THOSE HOUSE FROM THE TAX FOR CLOTHES.
IT'S ORIGINAL, IT'S ALREADY NOT ALL MY PROPERTY FROM THE TAX SALE, IT'S, IT'S ABOUT HALF ON MY PROPERTY FROM THE COURTHOUSE ESTATE TO BILL AND JUST THE TAX ALONE SO MUCH I, I HAVE TO DO THE IMPROVEMENT IT AND SOMETIMES SOME OF THE PROPERTY NEED MORE TIME, MORE ATTENTION.
SO IT'S DELAY LITTLE BIT, BUT I TRY TO KEEP, YEAH, CUT.
AND IF THE HOUSE EMPTY THE BO UP.
MA'AM, CAN WE GET BACK TO THIS PROPERTY? ROBERT BINKY, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.
UH, HOW LONG HAVE YOU OWNED THIS PROPERTY? PLEASE MA'AM? MIGHT BE, DATE WAS RENTED AND THEN IT'S GET TO THE ORDERS.
SO WHEN DID YOU PURCHASE IT, PLEASE? OH, I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY.
SO MORE, MORE THAN FIVE OR 10 YEARS AGO.
AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON THIS HOUSE? WELL, I WAS BOUGHT UP UNTIL THE, THEY TELL ME THE FIRST, IT'S A, IT'S A CARPORT.
THE PORCH HAVE THE WOOD HANGING DOWN SO YOU CAN SEE FROM THE STREET.
THEN HE, THE CO COMPLAIN, TELL ME THE PORCH.
SO WHEN I FIX THE PORCH, HE COME BACK.
THEN HE SAID THE BUILDING, WHICH IS A ADDITION, IT'S NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING.
IT'S A ING SO I START TO DO IT.
SO IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS PROPERTY FOR MAYBE OVER A YEAR THEN? AT THIS POINT? NO, NOT OVER A YEAR.
THIS YEAR WHEN THE CO COMPLAIN? YES.
UHHUH
AND UM, WHAT OTHER PERMITS DO YOU HAVE PULLED OTHER THAN A FOUNDATION PERMIT? ANY, DO YOU HAVE A MINOR REPAIR PERMIT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? PULLED WHO, SAY AGAIN, I DON'T, YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU HAVE A FOUNDATION PERMIT AND YOU WERE WORKING ON THAT PART.
DO YOU HAVE LIKE A MINOR REPAIR PERMIT OR LIKE A ROOF PERMIT OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR ANY OTHER WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE ON THE PROPERTY, PLUMBING PERMIT, ELECTRICAL, ANY OF THAT? NO, I, I ASKED THEM BECAUSE, UH, BESIDES THE FOUNDATION, IT'S NEEDED.
IT'S UH, BECAUSE BEFORE THE, ONE OF THE P PERSON WHO WANT TO RENT IT, AND HE SAID THE HOUSE, NO INSULATION.
SO HE TOOK ALL THE, SHE LOCK OUT.
SO THIS TIME I REPLACED ABOUT 50 50 SHE ROCK.
AND THEN THROUGH THE ACOUSTIC AND PAINTING AND I WHOLE HOUSE INSIDE I PUT THE WINDOW TRIM AND THEN THE BASEBALL BECAUSE IT WASN'T HAVE THERE, RIGHT? YES MA'AM.
AND THEN HAS, HAVE YOU BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THIS ENGINEER? YOU SAID HE IS ON VACATION, BUT HAVE YOU TALKED TO HIM RECENTLY BEFORE HE LEFT FOR VACATION? IS HE STILL INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT AT THIS TIME? YES, I TALKED.
DID HE ASK YOU TO PUT FOOTINGS UNDERNEATH THOSE FOUR BY FOURS OR FOUR BY SIXES? USUALLY THERE'S SOME CONCRETE THAT GOES UNDERNEATH THAT TO SUPPORT THAT CORRECTLY.
I, IN MY EXPERIENCE, YOU DON'T JUST PUT A POST ON THE DIRT? NO, IT'S, YOU HAVE TO PEEK IN.
SOME PEOPLE PUT 18, SOME OF THE HOUSE THEY REQUIRE LIKE, UH, UNDER THE TWO STORAGE IT REQUIRE 24 INCHES TO, TO DIG DOWN.
THAT, THAT IF YOU PUT A PUT POST ON, ON THE CONCRETE.
BUT YOU HAVE TO DIG IN AND THEN PUT THE CONCRETE FIRST BEFORE YOU PUT THE POST.
YOU HAVE ANY CONCRETE UNDERNEATH THOSE POSTS? YES, AND THERE IS CONCRETE DOWN THERE BECAUSE WHEN, WHEN THE ENGINEERING COME, IT'S ALREADY
[02:45:01]
CONCRETE.HE REQUEST I NEEDED TO HAVE THE ORDER TO DIG IN THE GROUND THEN HIM TAKE A LOOK AT IT NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW.
SO DOES THIS ENGINEER HAVE CONTRACTORS TO HELP YOU TO DO THIS WORK? WELL, HE, WHEN HE COME IT'S ALREADY FINISHED, SO HE DIDN'T RECOMMEND ANY CONTRACTOR.
I ALREADY FINISH AND HE DID HAVE THE CONTRACTOR TO
IT'S ALREADY COVERED, BUT THAT'S WHY HE COME SECOND TRIP.
HE SAID YOU NEED TO HAVE THE, THE CONTRACTOR TO DIGGING TO SHOW YOU HAVE PULLED THE 18 INCHES, THE CONCRETE THERE.
I JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU.
YOU'VE STATED THAT YOU'VE DONE SOME WORK, UM, IN ADDITION TO THE FOUNDATION, UM, SOME WINDOWS, SOME TRIM.
HAVE YOU OBTAINED ANY PERMITS FOR THAT WORK AT YES OR NO? I, I ASKED, UH, THE FRONT HERE, RIGHT? I'M GONNA, I'M GONNA ASK YOU THIS.
OKAY, SO TO MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR, YOU HAVE NOT OBTAINED ANY PERMITS FOR ANY WORK OTHER THAN FOR THE FOUNDATION, IS THAT CORRECT? THEY TOLD THE FRONT, THE GIRL ADVISED ME ONLY NEEDED IS THAT THEY DID GIVE ME THE PAPER TO SHOW THE SHEET ROCK PAINTING THE WOOD.
MA'AM, I'M JUST ASKING YOU THIS QUESTION.
I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE HAVE TOLD YOU SOMETHING.
HAVE YOU OBTAINED ANY PERMITS FOR ANY WORK, ANY CONSTRUCTION, ANY, LET ME FINISH THE QUESTION PLEASE.
ANY REPAIRS OTHER THAN THE FOUNDATION? YES.
UM, I ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE A LETTER FROM AN ENGINEER THAT STATES ASSUMPTION AS ENGINEER OF RECORD LETTER.
SINCE THIS LETTER IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, HOW MANY TIMES HAS THE, AS MR MR. MARTINEZ OR ANYBODY FROM HIS OFFICE COME TO YOUR PROPERTY? HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE COME TO THE HEMPHILL PROPERTY? NOT YET.
SO HE, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR.
SINCE YOU GOT THIS LETTER OF ASSUMPTION OF ENGINEER RECORD LETTER, HE'S NEVER, HE HAS NOT, HE HAS NOT COME TO, HE HAS NOT COME TO THE PROPERTY, IS THAT CORRECT? RIGHT.
BUT I'M WAITING FOR HIM TO COME BACK TO FINISH.
HE, HE SAY IF THE SCHEDULE AFTER 25TH OF THIS MONTH, HE TRY TO TO COME.
OKAY, SO I I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR.
HE, HE'S NOT GONNA COME AT LEAST FOR EIGHT MONTHS TO, TO A PROPERTY THAT YOU WERE ORDERED TO REPAIR IN FEBRUARY.
YOU OR THE, THERE WAS A BOARD ORDER FOR YOU TO REPAIR THIS PROPERTY IN FEBRUARY.
YOU HIRED HIM BEFORE FEBRUARY, YOU HIRED HIM BEFORE THIS PROPERTY CAME IN FRONT OF THE BOARD AND HE HASN'T SHOWN UP TO THE PROPERTY AT ALL AS OF TODAY.
IS THAT CORRECT, MS. SHE, YES, I HAVE THE MIS CONCEPT.
WAIT UNTIL YOU, I FINISH FOR HIM TO RELEASE.
HE DID MENTION ABOUT HE STILL NEED TO COME BACK WHEN I HIRE HIM.
AFTER HE GAVE ME THE LETTER, HE, HE TOLD ME HE, WHEN YOU FINISH, I STILL NEED TO COME BACK FOR THE RELEASE.
SO I JUST BARELY YESTERDAY LATE TO, TO DO WHAT IS THE MAJORITY TO FINISH.
[02:50:01]
TALK, I TALK TO HIM COUPLE DAY AGO.HE SAID ASK FOR THE POSTPONE BECAUSE HE CANNOT COME CHECK IT.
YOU JUST STATED EARLIER THAT THEY, HE, THE ENGINEER TOLD YOU TO DIG DOWN 18 INCHES TO SEE IF THERE WERE CONCRETE.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT HE NEVER SHOWED UP? NO.
I THINK YOU MISUNDERSTANDING IT'S BECAUSE WHEN HE COME, IT'S ALREADY FINISHED.
WE ALREADY FINISHED THE 18 INCHES IN CONCRETE.
HE JUST WANT TO MODIFY AND ALSO THE, THEN THE, THE THIRD IT ALREADY COVER.
SO HE ASK ME AND HE COME BACK CAPTE AFTER TO CHECK IT AFTER THE WORKER TO DIGGING OUT TO THE CONCRETE TO SHOW HIM.
THEY, WE DID PULL THE CONCRETE 18 INCHES.
THERE'S ONLY THE BACK, THE ADD-ON, CORRECT? HUH? THAT WAS THE ADD-ON? YES.
CAN WE GO TO 21 NOW THAT PHOTO YOU SHOWED OF THE BOTTOM, THAT'S OF THIS BUILDING, CORRECT? THE FIRST PHOTO WE SAW THAT YOU HAVE IS THE BOTTOM OF THIS BUILDING.
IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER? WELL, I ASSUME BECAUSE I CANNOT FIGURE OUT MYSELF AND I TOOK THE SOMETHING FROM THE BOTTOM.
THE REASON I ASK IS 'CAUSE IT'S CONFUSING BECAUSE THAT PLYWOOD IS OLD PLYWOOD.
OH THEN, THEN IT'S BEFORE THE PICTURE MIGHTY.
WHEN I GO PRINTED, I, I PICK UP THAT MIGHTY.
THAT IS BEFORE HE START TO TAKE OUT NOW 33, THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID.
THAT PICTURE WAS UP YESTERDAY.
SO APPARENTLY THAT ONE IS BEFORE THEY TOOK OUT AND THIS I TOOK YESTERDAY AND THE FIRST PICTURE POSSIBLY I WENT TO THE OTHER PROPERTY AND FOR THE TAX PER TEST ON THAT ADDITIONAL ROOM, I, LET'S GO TO 24.
YOU SAID THE LEVELS WERE WHEN YOU LOOKED AT THE BUBBLE, THEY WERE LEVEL? YES.
CAN WE GO TO ON THE SIDING, WHICH IT'S A CO CONFINED OFFICE.
SO LET ME GO TO, ALRIGHT, GO TO 25.
DOES THAT LOOK LEVEL WHAT THE 25? I DIDN'T SEE IT.
IS DO YOU HAVE IT ON THE MONITOR? THERE CAN, CAN YOU SEE THE BUBBLE? THAT'S NOT LEVEL.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT AT.
NO, THAT IS FRONT IS NOT MINE.
AND THAT IS A OFFICE, RIGHT? UHHUH,
NOW YOU SAID THE EXTERIOR, YOU LOOKED AT THE LEVEL.
NOW LOOK AT THAT AND TELL ME THAT THAT SHOWS LEVEL, BUT IT'S TOOK BY OFFICER.
RIGHT? AND THEN I SAW IT LABEL IS YESTERDAY, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A PICTURE THAT SHOWS THAT YOU FIXED IT.
THAT'S WHY YESTERDAY ONLY MYSELF STILL THERE, SO I CANNOT HAVE ANYBODY TO HOLD IT FOR ME.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S LEVEL BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF THAT WALL SHOWING THAT THERE'S A LEVEL ON IT.
[02:55:04]
WE HAVE TO, THIS IS JUDGE EVERYTHING ON WHAT YOU BRING TO US.YESTERDAY RESOURCES, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED? AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT IT'S LEVEL, YOU SAID THAT WALL'S LEVEL, BUT YOU CAN'T SHOW PICTURE THAT SAYS THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
YOU JUST SAYING IT IS LEVEL AND SHOW US A PICTURE FROM A DISTANCE.
I WELL, WHEN YOU SEE THE PICTURE, YOU CAN TELL THAT'S WHAT WE WANNA SEE.
WHERE'S THE PICTURE? THAT SHOWS THAT'S LEVEL, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
YOU SAID YOU TOOK A PICTURE THAT SHOWS ITS LABEL.
WHERE'S THE PICTURE? WELL, I HAD THE, I DON'T HAVE THE PICTURE WITH THE LABEL AGAIN YESTERDAY, ONLY MYSELF, SO I HAVE NOBODY TO HOLD IT, BUT I TOOK THE PICTURE FROM THE FAR AWAY TO SHOW IT'S A, IT'S A STRAIGHT FOR THE OUTSIDE HERE, BUT IT'S NOT THE PICTURE'S SHOWING IT FROM THE SIDE.
SO WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S STRAIGHT.
WE JUST SEE THE SIDE FROM A DISTANCE, SO WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FIXED.
DID YOU WA WAS ANY WORK DONE BETWEEN JULY 11TH AND TODAY, WHICH IS THE 18TH? YES.
WHAT WORK WAS DONE? IF THIS IS IN THE LAST WEEK, SEVEN DAYS? YES.
I SAID THAT IS A NEW SIGHTING ON THAT PICTURE I TOOK AND THIS WAS JUST DONE THIS PAST WEEK.
UH, WHAT I, I'M GONNA ASK THAT I, UM, SHE'S GOING TO CLAIM THAT THAT WORK WAS DONE.
UM, I, WE HAVE PICTURES FROM CODE.
WE HAVE PICTURES FROM THE OWNER.
I WOULD HOPE THAT, UM, WE COULD MAKE A, A A, A DETERMINATION BASED ON THAT BECAUSE I, I I THINK IT'S JUST NOW WE'RE JUST KIND OF GOING BACK AND FORTH AND, AND, AND STARTING TO REPEAT THE SAME STUFF.
I JUST ASKED FOR THE RESET, THE PAY AND FOR ENGINEER TO HAVE CHANCE TO FINAL INSPECTION AND TO FOLLOW HIM FOR THE RELEASE.
I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF, UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR THE RECORD.
YES, WE DO HAVE THREE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
THEY'RE ALL ANONYMOUS STATEMENTS.
THE FIRST ONE WAS RECEIVED 7 15 24.
HELLO, I'M WRITING TODAY BECAUSE I WAS TOLD I COULD VOICE MY CONCERNS FOR THE PROPERTY AT 4 9 0 2 AMP HILL DRIVE.
I LIVE DIRECTLY NEAR THE ABANDONED HOME.
I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION MY CONCERNS THAT I AM SURE THAT MANY OF US LIVING NEAR HAVE FOR THE UNMAINTAINED PROPERTY.
THE HOME HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR AT LEAST 10 PLUS YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO CALL THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE PROPERTY LOOKED AT BECAUSE OF UNCAPPED YARD AND HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH BRAS AND OTHER ANIMALS BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF THE PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY HAS BROKEN WINDOWS, BROKEN FRONT AND BACK DOOR AND TRASHY ELUDING EVERYWHERE.
IT UNFORTUNATELY HAS BROUGHT UNWANTED GAS ONTO THE PREMISES WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN VANDALISM AND ALSO THE HOME HAS BULLET HOLES ALL THROUGHOUT THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY.
I DO NOT FEEL THAT MY PROPERTY, MY FAMILY, IS SAFE BECAUSE OF THE NEGATIVE ATTENTION THAT IT BRINGS.
NOT TO MENTION THE SEWERS MILL THAT COMES FROM THE HOME.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME SORT OF PERMANENT ACTION TAKEN FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4 9 0 2 HENFIELD DRIVE 7 8 2 2 8 PROPERTY HAS NO FENCING THAT IS ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT.
I, MYSELF AND OTHER SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES TO HAVE THE PROPERTY BE LOOKED AT BY THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
I FEEL AS THOUGH THE PROPERTY PUTS OUR HOME VALUES AND SAFETY IN QUESTION FOR THE MANY YEARS THAT IT HAS BEEN LEFT ALONE AND UNKEPT.
I HOPE THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO CAN CONSIDER WHAT I HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO MENTION INTO CONSIDERATION AND HELP OUR COMMUNITY REMAIN A SAFE PLACE WHEN WE ENJOY LIVING.
THE SECOND PUBLIC COMMENT IS ANONYMOUS.
RECEIVED, UH, JULY 15TH, 2024.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TODAY TO HEAR MY CONCERNS FOR THE PROPERTY.
LOCATED AT 49 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 8.
I'M A NEIGHBOR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAS MULTIPLE CONCERNS FOR OUR, UM, SAFETY.
BECAUSE OF THE BAN PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN VACANT
[03:00:01]
SINCE 2009, THE PROPERTY HAS RECEIVED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO THE CITY.REGARDING THE UNKEPT PROPERTY, THE FOLLOWING THINGS HAVE OCCURRED DURING MY TIME LIVING NEAR THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION.
THE OWNER HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO HELP FIX BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF OVERGROWN SHRUBS AND TREES THAT HAD FALLEN AND PIERCED THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S FENCE CAUSING COMPLETE DAMAGE OFF FENCING AROUND THE PROPERTY IS NOT SECURE.
FENCING HAS FALLEN OVER IN MULTIPLE AREAS AROUND THE PROPERTY.
ANYONE HAS DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN CLOSED OFF.
UNWARRANTED VISITORS HAVE GONE TO THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 49 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE 7 8 2 2 8 TO STEAL THINGS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY, BRINGING UNWANTED VANDALISM AND THEFTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
THERE IS A VIDEO THAT MADE SOCIAL MEDIA SHOWING A GROUP OF KIDS SHOOTING THE PROPERTY, WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY HURT OR DAMAGED FELLOW NEIGHBORS.
THIS OCCURRED ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT CAUSING THOSE OF US AROUND THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 49 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE TO BE AFRAID AT WHAT COULD OCCUR NEXT AND OR HAVING A STRAY BULLET HIT A SURROUNDING HOME.
THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE COPS HAVE BEEN CALLED THROUGH THE YEARS BECAUSE THE PROPERTY NAMED ABOVE HAS NOT BEEN SECURED, BOTH FRONT AND BACK DOOR WIDE OPEN, ALLOWING VAGRANT TO ROAM INTO THE PROPERTY AND STAY IN THE HOME.
THIS OCCURRED DURING THE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BY CODE OF COMPLIANCE TO ASK TO HAVE THE PROPERTY PROPERLY SECURED.
THE FOLIAGE IS OUT OF CONTROL, WHICH HAS CREATED AN UPTICK THROUGH THE YEARS OF RATS, POSSUMS, AND OTHER UNDESIRABLE ANIMALS.
THERE IS A NOTICE NOTICEABLE TRASH AROUND THE YARD, BOTH INSIDE AND SPILLING OUT OF THE PROPERTY, CAUSING UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW FOR FELLOW NEIGHBORS TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY SAFELY BECAUSE OF OVERGROWN SHRUBS.
THE OWNER AT 49 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE WAS ASKED TO PLEASE CUT DOWN THE AREA TO HELP INSIDE OF THE HER PROPERTY, AT WHICH TIME SHE STATED, WHY DON'T YOU DO IT? THE SEWER AT THE PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE PROPERTY PROPER MAIN LINES COVERED UP.
SO THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG OF SEWAGE SPILLING INTO THE AIR, WHICH IS VERY UNDESIRABLE.
WE FEAR THAT AT SOME POINT THE HOME COULD BRING FIRES AND OTHER HAZARDS TO THE AREA.
MYSELF AND OTHER NEIGHBORS HAVE HAD TO CALL THE CITY THROUGH THE YEARS TO HAVE IT ATTENDED TO WITH A BARE MINIMUM EFFORT ON THE OWNER OF 49 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE.
IT IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND SAFETY HAZARD FOR THOSE OF AROUND THE PROPERTY.
IN CLOSING, I HOPE TODAY HAVE PROVIDED SOME INSIGHT INTO WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH, WITH CONTINUOUSLY DEALT WITH THROUGH THE YEARS AT THE ABANDONED PROPERTY, LOCATED AT 49 0 2 HEMPHILL DRIVE, 7 8 2 2 8.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CAREFUL CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER.
THANK YOU, ANONYMOUS NEIGHBOR.
THE LAST COMMENT WAS RECEIVED ON JULY 16TH, 2024.
I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE A BRIEF COMMENT ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4 9 0 2 HEMPFIELD DRIVE AND REQUEST TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS FOR THE HEARING.
MY FAMILY MOVED ONTO THE STREET IN 2023 AND HAVE SINCE NOTICED A FREQUENT AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THE PROPERTY.
WINDOWS HAVE BEEN BROKEN AND REMAINED THAT WAY FOR SOME TIME.
WE HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE LABORERS COME AND GO SO NOTHING APPEARS TO BE REPAIRED ADEQUATELY.
SHORTLY AFTER MOVING IN, WE NOTICED SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS RUNNING INTO THE YARD ON HOURS OF THE NINTH.
IT APPEARS UNINHABITABLE, UNINHABITABLE AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN DILIGENT EFFORT TO FIX IT.
ANY, ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOARD? CAN I HAVE A MOTION? A SECOND.

THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 4 9 0 3 NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10 WITH THE RECOMMENDATION FOR REPAIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS PROPERTY IS BEING HEARD BEFORE THIS BOARD.
THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS NCB 1 7 1 1 9 BLOCK ONE LOT THREE LOWMAN'S VILLAGE AT SUMMIT UNIT ONE LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS SUMMIT INCOME PARTNERS, LP AND JBG SUMMIT LLC WITH THE MAILING ADDRESS OF 3 3 4 5 B CAVE ROAD, SUITE 2 0 8, WESTLAKE HILLS, TEXAS 7 8 7 4 6.
ALL NOTICES OF HEARING WERE PROPERLY ISSUED.
NO ONE IS HERE ON BEHALF OF THIS CASE.
DOES THE BOARD WISH TO PROCEED? YES, PLEASE.
ON JULY 8TH, 2024, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH A ROBERT MENDOZA WHO STATED HE WAS ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF THE COMPLEX, BUT NOT THE OWNER OF THE SIGN.
THE OFFICE OF HIS HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON MARCH 26TH, 2024 THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS.
THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 4 9 0 3 NORTHWEST NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10 WAS CONDUCTED ON JANUARY 23RD, 2024.
AN ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON MARCH 5TH, 2024 AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT IS STILL PENDING ON JULY 2ND, 2024.
THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO THE OWNER ON JULY 3RD, 2024.
THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 4 9 0 3 NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10.
NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS OF TODAY, JULY 18TH, 2024.
THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE AS OF TODAY, JULY 18TH, 2024.
FOR THIS PROPERTY, THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE TAKING ON JUNE 24TH, 2024 AND JULY 3RD, 2024.
PICTURE PRESENTATION CONSISTS OF A MONUMENT SIGN IN DILAPIDATED CONDITION.
THIS FIRST PHOTO SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIP OF WHERE THE SIGN IS TO NORTHWEST LOOP AND SUMMIT PARKWAY.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE STONE FOUNDATION IS COMPROMISED AND MISSING IN THE FRONT AND IT IS EXPOSING THE METAL FRAMING.
THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FRONT OF THE FRONT STONE FOUNDATION IS MISSING.
AND THE, ON MY LAST INSPECTION, I DID NOTICE THAT THE STRUCTURE IS THE SIGN IS SHIFTING TO THE FRONT.
[03:10:01]
THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION, WHICH IS A BETTER VIEW OF THE MISSING STONE FOUNDATION.AND ON TOP OF THE WORD NORTH AND UNDER THE WORD NORTH, THERE IS A LARGE CRACK THAT GOES FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK.
THIS IS JUST THE REAR ELEVATION OF THAT MONUMENT SIGN.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE STONE FOUNDATION AT THE FRONT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S MISSING.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE EXPOSED, UH, METAL FRAMING.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE, UH, STUCCO SIDING THAT IS CRACKING AT THE BOTTOM.
UH, AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE STONE FOUNDATION IS DETERIORATING IN THAT AREA.
THIS IS JUST THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THAT MISSING STONE FOUNDATION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE METAL FRAMING OF THE REASON WHY IT'S SHIFTING TO THE FRONT, IT'S BENT SLIGHTLY.
UM, THERE IS A HOLE IN THAT, IN THAT FOUNDATION AT THE BOTTOM.
I PLACED MY LEVEL IN TOOL JUST TO SEE THE EXTENT OF HOW THE, UH, SIGN WAS SHIFTING TO THE FRONT.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE LEVEL BUBBLE IS POSITIONED TO THE LEFT IN THIS PHOTO.
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER VIEW OF THE CRACK STUCCO SIDING THAT'S GOING UP, UH, TO THE TOP OF THE SIGN CLOSEUP VIEW OF THE STUCCO SIDING THAT'S CRACKED TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE SIGN.
AND THIS IS JUST A CLOSEUP OF HOW THE METAL FRAMING IS DETACHING AT THE BOTTOM ON TOP OF THE, UM, STONE FOUNDATION.
THIS IS A MONUMENT SIGN THAT'S LOCATED IN AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10 AND SUMMIT PARKWAY.
ZONE C3 WITH LONG-TERM DETERIORATION.
THE SIGN IS SHIFTING TO THE FRONT.
THE STUCCO SIDING CONTAINS CRACKS AND DETERIOR AND IS DETERIORATING.
THE STONE FOUNDATION IS MISSING AT THE FRONT AND IS DETERIORATING.
TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 4 9 0 3 NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10 IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTIONS EIGHT 12 AND 15 FOR THE MONUMENT SIGN IN 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 UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIR FOR THE MONUMENT SIGN.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 4 9 0 3 NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10.
IS THIS ON THE OTHER END OR THE ONE WE HAD LAST WEEK? YES SIR.
IT'S, IT'S ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THAT, OF THE OTHER ONE WAS ON THE SOUTH.
UH, YOU WASN'T ABLE TO SEE THE WORD SOUTH BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRE, THE WHOLE SIGN WAS GONE.
AND THIS ONE SUFFERED THE SAME DAMAGE EXCEPT THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE THEY CAME IN FROM FOUR 10 AND KNOCKED OUT THE FRONT.
THE OTHER ONE HAD THE BACKSIDE KNOCKED OUT, RIGHT? YES SIR.
SO, SO WE'RE GONNA ASSUME IT DOESN'T HAVE POWER.
AND THE STUCCO ALL THE WAY UP THE SIDE, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT ONE IS CORRECTED.
YOU SAID IT WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT.
IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE POSITIONED TO THE LOOKING AT THE RIGHT ELEVATION, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S LEANING TO THE LEFT AS IF IT WAS IMPACT.
THERE WAS SOME IMPACT, UH, THAT CAUSED THE METAL FRAMING TO BEND TO THE FRONT AND IT PROBABLY CAUSED ALL THE CRACKS TOO.
NOW, IN THAT, IN THIS LETTER, IT SAYS THAT IT'S AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE FRONTAGE ROAD.
IT'S THE SAME, NOT, I DON'T WANNA MENTION THE LAST WEEK'S CASE, BUT IT'S THE SAME SITUATION.
THE, UH, THE WALKWAY IS BEFORE THE SIGN, SO THERE IS NO OBSTRUCTION AS FAR AS VISUALLY FOR THE TRAFFIC THAT HAS, UM, TRAVELING ON LOOP FOUR 10.
AND WHEN YOU ENTER INTO OR EXIT OUT OF SUMMIT PARKWAY, THERE IS NO VISUAL OBSTRUCTION.
SO YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE, AND PEDESTRIANS CAN WALK BECAUSE THERE IS A, UM, A VERY LARGE WALKWAY.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHO THE OWNER OF THE SIGN IS.
IT WAS, IT WAS, IT WAS THE, THE, THE REASONING BEHIND THE SIGN BEING THE OWNER BECAUSE OF THE SIGN SAYS SUMMIT AND ALSO BECAUSE THE COMPLEX IS SUMMIT.
SO THEY'VE BENEFIT THE MOST FROM THE ADVERTISING OF THAT SIGN.
[03:15:01]
HAVE BEEN CONTACTED, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM WITH, UH, MR. MENDOZA.I SPOKE WITH ALSO, THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN NAMED BRAD SOMETIME AFTER, UM, THEY EXPRESSED TO ME THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY DID MAKE EFFORTS TO SPEAK TO A CONTRACTOR TO SEE ABOUT REPAIRING THE SIGN, BUT THE PRICE FOR THEM WAS KIND OF HIGH.
AND THEY, THEY SAID, LEAVE IT UP TO ME TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.
OFFICER, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SIGN, ALONG WITH THE SIGN THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK, THEIR ADDRESSES DON'T REFLECT THEIR LOCATION.
AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS BOTH SIGNS ARE LOOKING LIKE THEY'RE ON SUMMIT PARKWAY.
ALTHOUGH THEY ARE, UH, LAST WEEK'S SIGN WAS TO CALLAHAN ADDRESS.
THIS WEEK'S SIGN IS TO THE FOUR 10, UH, FOUR 10 ADDRESS.
ARE THEY OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON? NO.
THAT COMPLEX OF A LAST WEEK'S SIGN IS CALLAHAN, BUT WHEN YOU SEARCH IT THROUGH BEAK BEAR COUNTY APPRAISAL, IT SAYS SUMMIT FOUR.
THIS SIGN SAYS SUMMIT, UH, COMPLETELY FOR THIS COMPLEX ON LOOP FOUR 10.
SO DO WE HAVE ANY POLICE REPORTS AS TO WHO DID THE DAMAGE AND WHO'S GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE? THERE WERE NO POLICE REPORTS.
I DID RESEARCH THAT I, BUT THE ONLY, UH, CON RESPONSES THAT I HAD WAS SPEAKING TO THE OWNERS OF THE BUSINESSES AROUND AND A FEW OF THE PATRIOTS IN THE, 'CAUSE THERE'S A CHINESE RESTAURANT NEXT TO IT.
THEY DID STATE TO ME, UM, THAT THEY, THAT IT WAS HIT BECAUSE THEY FREQUENT THAT RESTAURANT AND THAT IT WAS HIT BY 18 WHEELERS.
BUT THERE IS NO REPORT THAT I COULD OBTAIN OF EXACT DATE AND TIME THAT IT WAS HIT.
THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER YEAH, EXACTLY.
IT LIKE ONE END OF THE SUMMIT AND THE OTHER END OF THE SUMMIT.
AND HOW DO YOU MISS A SIGN? YES.
IT'S TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO, WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE.
NO, I MEAN, HOW DO YOU, HOW, HOW DO YOU HIT A SIGN THAT BIG IN FRONT OF YOU WHEN YOU'VE GOT ALL THAT SPACE? EVEN MORE 18 WHEELER.
IT'S LIKE, NOW THIS PICTURE I GOT F1 46 IS THE ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT WHERE IT'S, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S, UH, KIND OF RIGHT HERE, CROOKED AT THE BOTTOM, THEN IT GOES BACK OVER, THEN IT GOES BACK UP TO THE TOP AND LEANS TO THE RIGHT.
IT, IT APPEARS THAT IN THE PHOTO.
BUT I DIDN'T MENTION THAT AS FAR AS A PART OF MY OBSERVATION OF MY INSPECTION DUE TO THE FACT THAT FOUR 10 DOES SLIGHTLY, UH, IS SORT OF A HILL.
SO THAT'S WHY I LOOKED AT IT AS IF I ONLY BASED MY JUDGMENT BASED ON THE STONE FOUNDATION FROM THAT IT WAS STRAIGHT NOW THAT, UH, STUCCO, IF YOU LOOK ALL THE WAY UP, IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY UP.
ON THE FRONT SIDE WAS CRACKED AS WELL? YES SIR.
DID YOU GET ANY INDICATION THAT IT IS REALLY READY TO COME DOWN OR IS IT STILL KIND OF FIRM? IT, STUCCO SIDING DID APPEAR TO STILL KIND OF BE IN PLACED, BUT MY CONCERN WAS MORE SO THE STONE FOUNDA, I MEAN THE METAL FOUND, UH, FRAME IT, I I JUST DON'T WANT ANYONE TO IMPACT IT AGAIN AND TO THE POINT WHERE IT DOES FALL.
THE STU THE STUCCO SIDING WASN'T REALLY THAT MUCH OF A QUESTION 'CAUSE IT WAS JUST CRACKED.
AND THAT'S JUST AESTHETICALLY WELL YEAH, BUT THAT STUCCO WHEN THE WATER GETS BEHIND IT, THAT WHOLE SHEET'S COMING.
SO IF SOMEBODY'S PARKED THERE, THAT SHEET IS COMING.
UM, AND THEY ALREADY SAID THEY DON'T WANT IT BECAUSE OF THE COST AND THEY KNOW IT'S GONNA BE CHEAPER TO DEMOLISH IT THAN IT IS AND THEY'RE NOT GONNA WORRY ABOUT DEMOLISHING IT BECAUSE IT'S, THEY'RE NOT CLAIMING IT.
ANY FURTHER? QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? COMMENTS? NO COMMENT.
OH, WE HAVE A, UM, PUBLIC COMMENT.
WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS TO READ INTO THE RECORD.
THE FIRST WAS RECEIVED ON JULY 12TH.
MY NAME IS RICHARD HARTMAN AND I WAS ASKED TO PREPARE THE STATEMENT TO FURTHER SUBSTANTIATE WHY THIS MONUMENT SHOULD BE REMOVED.
THIS MONUMENT HAS BEEN IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS, AND WE PASS BY IT DAILY WHEN COMMUTING TO AND FROM OUR HOME IN GLEN OAKS PARK.
THIS MONUMENT HAS BEEN DAMAGED EVERY TIME IN THE SAME PART OF THE FOOTING.
THE PORTION NEAREST TO FOUR 10 AT LEAST A HALF A DOZEN TIMES IN THE PAST DECADE AND WAS TYPICALLY REPAIRED SHORTLY THEREAFTER WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.
NOW THE MONUMENT IS NOT BEING MAINTAINED AND APPEARS TO BE UNATTENDED.
WE ARE GUESSING THAT THE REPO RESPONSIBLE PARTY HAS BECOME DISCOURAGED AND DECIDED TO STOP DOING THE REPAIRS
[03:20:01]
FOR ANY OBVIOUS NUMBER OF REASONS.GIVEN THE LONG AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THIS HAS PASSED SINCE THIS CURRENT DAMAGE WAS DONE AND THE RESPONSIBLE, RESPONSIBLE PARTY IS NOT KEEPING UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS MONUMENT SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED FURTHER.
IF THIS MONUMENT IS REMOVED, THE INTERSECTION WILL BECOME SAFER BECAUSE THE VIEW OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON THE FOUR 10 FRONTAGE ROAD WILL NO LONGER BE OBSTRUCTED IN THIS UNSIGHTLY MONUMENT THAT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.
THE SECOND COMMENT WAS RECEIVED FROM BRAD GREEN BLUM ON TUESDAY, JULY 16TH, 2024.
HI, MS. KRUM, THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO MY VOICEMAIL YESTERDAY REGARDING THE UPCOMING BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD HEARING ON JULY 18TH.
AS MENTIONED ON MY VOICEMAIL, THE SIGN IN QUESTION IS LOCATED IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, MEDIAN OF THE ADJACENT STREET SUMMIT PARKWAY ACROSS FROM OUR SHOPPING CENTER SUMMIT CENTER, AND DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE ENTRANCE TO ONE OF OUR TENANTS.
MM-HMM
IN THE PAST, WE HAVE RECEIVED A SIMILAR NOTICE AND SPOKE TO OFFICER BLEDSO ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND RELAYED TO HIM THE SAME INFORMATION AS WAY OF BACKGROUND.
WE WERE TOLD BY THE ENTITY THAT SOLD A SUMMIT CENTER IN 2017 THAT THEIR COMPANY OR AN AFFILIATED ENTITY HAD BUILT FOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IDENTIFICATION SIGNS ALL IN THE SAME DESIGN AND SIZE THAT SAY SUMMIT NORTH OR SOUTH, DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE OF LOOP FOUR 10.
THE SIGN WAS LOCATED AS IDENTIFYING SIGNS INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS THAT THEY DEVELOPED ALONG LOOP FOUR 10 I I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL SIGNS WERE BUILT IN THE 1980S.
ACCORDINGLY, OUR COMPANY'S SUMMIT INCOME PART PARTNERS LP AND JBG SUMMIT, LLC, WHICH JOINTLY OWN THE ADJACENT PROPERTY SUMMIT SHOPPING CENTER, HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION REGARDING THIS OR THE OTHER SUMMIT IDENTIFYING SIGNS.
OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE WITNESSED VARIOUS VEHICLES, MAINLY LARGE TRUCKS HITTING THE SIGNS AS THEY MANEUVERED ALONG THE ROADWAY.
HOPEFULLY AFTER THE CITY REMOVES THE SIGN AND RELATED IMPROVEMENTS AND REPAIRS THE ROAD, IT WILL MAKE SUMMIT PARKWAY SAFER.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EMAIL OR CELL.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS BY THE BOARD? DO I HAVE A MOTION IN A SECOND? ROBERT BINKY.
I MOVED THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 49 0 3 NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 57, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 15 SIX.
UH, SPECIFICALLY EIGHT, 12 AND 15.
I MOVED AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED OR I MOVED THAT THE MONUMENT LOCATED AT 49 0 3.
UH, NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED.
WE HAVE, WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. BEKE, UH, ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 49 0 3.
NORTHWEST LOOP FOUR 10 IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, UH, SUBSECTIONS EIGHT, 12 AND 15.
UM, AND WE ORDERED THE, UH, PROPERTY, THE SIGN TO BE, UH, DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE ISSUANCE, UH, OF THIS ORDER.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? UH, I HAVE A SECOND, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION FOR LEGAL.
THEY'RE DEFINING THIS AS A MONUMENT IS BROUGHT TO US AS A SIGN A MONUMENT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
IT'S A MONUMENT SIGN RIGHT? THAN A SIGN.
I WOULD CONSIDER IT TO CONSIDER IT AS A STRUCTURE.
IS THE STRUCTURE DANGERS OR DILAPIDATED AND IF SO, YEAH, I MEAN
YEAH, IT'S A, HOW ABOUT THIS? WE CAN CALL IT A MONUMENT SIGN.
THAT'S FINE BECAUSE IT STATE IT BROUGHT TO US AS A SIGN, BUT PEOPLE KEEP REFERRING TO IT AS A MONUMENT.
WHEN YOU GET A DEFINITION, A MONUMENT, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GOING REFER TO IT AS A MONUMENT SIGN AND THAT'S FINE.
THAT IS ELIGIBLE FOR DEMOLITION.
WELL I SECONDED IT AND I ASKED THAT QUESTION BECAUSE A LEGAL TERM
