THE OWNER OF RECORD FOR THE LAND IS REHOBOTH TEMPLE.
ALL NOTICES OF HEARING WERE PROPERLY ISSUED AS REQUIRED.
THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS ARE PRESENT ON BEHALF OF THE CASE, THE MOBILE HOME OWNER, BETTY JEAN JACKSON, AND THE LAND OWNER BISHOP LEE.
THE O AGAIN, THE OWNER OF RECORD FOR THE MOBILE HOME IS BETTY JEAN JACKSON.
THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON OCTOBER 31ST, 29, 20 18 THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
THE THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROC PROCESS.
THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 4 0 7 CRESTWELL WAS CONDUCTED ON JULY 18TH, 2018.
THE ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED AND CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED UNDELIVERABLE ON AUGUST 2ND, 2018.
ANOTHER 21 INSPECTIONS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED SINCE THE INITIAL INSPECTION WAS MADE IN THIS PAST MONTH.
I HAVE NOTED SOME EXTERIOR REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE WITHOUT A PERMIT AND THEY DO NOT MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS ON JULY 20, JULY 11TH, 2019 WAS THE FIRST TIME CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE MOBILE HOMEOWNER ON JULY 17TH.
THE PRE B S B MEETING WAS HELD WITH BETTY JEAN JACKSON.

A B S B HEARING WAS SCHEDULED FOR JULY 25TH, 2019, BUT WAS RESCHEDULED DUE TO OWNER'S REQUEST.
THE MOBILE HOMEOWNER AUGUST 22ND, 2019 STARTED NOTICING EXTERIOR REPAIRS AND NO PERMITS HAD BEEN OBTAINED.
SEPTEMBER 4TH, MORE EXTERIOR REPAIRS NOTED.
STILL NO PERMITS HAD BEEN OBTAINED AS OF THIS MORNING.
FINANCIAL PROOF OF MEANS LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN
[00:10:01]
PROVIDED AS OF TODAY.THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE FOR THE MOBILE HOME AT 4 0 7 CRESTWELL, AND I APOLOGIZE.
THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE HERE TO SPEAK TODAY.
ONE IS THE MOBILE HOME HOMEOWNER, BETTY JEAN JACKSON, AND AGAIN, THE LANDOWNER, REHOBOTH TEMPLE NUMBER TWO.
BISHOP LEE, AND I KEEP IT SAYING THIS SO THAT THERE'S NO, UM, MIXING UP THE TWO.
THE LANDOWNER AND THE MOBILE HOMEOWNER ARE NOT THE SAME.
THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE TAKEN ON AUGUST 22ND, 2019 FOR THE EXTERIOR AND JUNE 21ST, 2019.
FOR THE EAR INTERIOR, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON A CORNER LOT.
THERE IS ACTUALLY THREE LOCATIONS WITH THE SAME ADDRESS OF 4 0 7 CRESTWELL.
SO THE PROPERTY, THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY IS WHERE I HAVE THE ARROW.
THERE IS A MOBILE HOME THAT IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE MAIN STRUCTURE WHICH FACES CRESSWELL AND THE MOBILE HOME IS BEHIND THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE THAT THE METAL ROOF IS RUSTED.
WE'VE GOT THE EXTERIOR WALLS THAT HAVE OPENINGS EXPOSING THE INTERIOR TO THE ELEMENTS.
WE HAVE THE STEPS THAT ARE ROTTED, MISSING THE HANDRAILS AND GUARDRAILS.
YOU CAN SEE SOME SEPARATION, AND YOU CAN SEE LISTING OF THE MOBILE HOME.
AGAIN, NO HANDRAILS OR GUARDRAILS.
YOU CAN SEE ROTTING AT THE BOTTOM PLATE.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE LISTING OF THE MOBILE HOME, SOME SEPARATION OF THE METAL ROOF COVER.
THIS IS UNDERNEATH THE MOBILE HOME.
THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOME FOUNDATION ISSUES.
WE'VE GOT THE CEMENT, CEMENT BLOCKS SINKING INTO THE GROUND.
IT'S NOT ON A STABLE FOUNDATION ITSELF.
HERE'S ANOTHER PICTURE UNDERNEATH.
AS SOON AS YOU WALK INTO THE STRUCTURE, YOU GO TO THE RIGHT.
YOU CAN SEE THE ELEMENTS GOING THROUGH THE, THIS WOULD BE, UH, ONE OF THE WINDOWS THAT ARE ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE, IT'S OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS, CAN SEE SOME WATER SPOTS ON THE CEILING.
THERE'S A LOT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS THROUGHOUT THE FLOOR IS UNEVEN.
IT'S CAUSING A TRIP HAZARD WHEN YOU'RE WALKING THROUGH.
ALSO, THE FLOORBOARDS ARE VERY SOFT TO WALK ON.
YOU CAN SEE THAT I, WITH THE LEVEL HOW UNLEVEL IT IS.
THIS IS THE FRONT EXTERIOR WALL FACING, UH, WAYCROSS.
AGAIN, A TRIP HAZARD FOR THE FLOOR WATER SPOT AND RODENT INFESTATION.
THIS STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1987, IS A WOOD FRAME STRUCTURE MOBILE HOME IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
THERE'S A GABLE ROOF SYSTEM WITH A METAL COVER.
THE METAL IS RUSTED AND THE FACIA BOARDS
[00:15:01]
ARE ROTTED.THE EXTERIOR SIDING HAS POSSIBLE ALUMINUM PANEL COVER.
THE PANELS ARE ROTTED IN PORTIONS MISSING, WHICH ALLOWS THE ELEMENTS INTO THE INTERIOR.
ONE OF THE CORNER WALLS IS SEPARATING.
SOME OF THE WINDOWS ARE MISSING OR BOARDED UP.
THE REAR STAIRS ARE MISSING GUARDRAILS AND HANDRAILS, AS WELL AS THE FRONT STAIRWELL.
THERE'S A METAL CHASSIS FOR A FOUNDATION.
THERE ARE NOTED AREAS WHERE THE ELEMENTS ARE ALLOWED INTO THE STRUCTURE.
THE INTERIOR FLOORS ARE UNEVEN AND UNSAFE TO WALK ON.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OF RODENT INFESTATION.
TO RECAP, THE MAIN STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 4 0 7 CRESTWELL IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2 7 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HERE AND AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE, A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 4 0 7 CRESTWELL.
JUST FOR CLARITY, YOU'RE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, NOT THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH THE CODE OFFICER QUESTION? IT'S NOT BEING OCCUPIED CURRENTLY, CORRECT? CORRECT, SIR.

UH, SO ABOUT THREE OR FOUR DAYS LATER, THAT'S WHEN I CALLED AND GOT A, A ARAN, UH, RESCHEDULE OF THE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE MY BROTHER HAD PASSED AWAY, AND I WAS THE HEIR TO, HAD TO BURY HIM.

UH, I CALL HER MISS CONNIE JUDY.
I SPOKE WITH MISS JUDY AND, UH, SHE TOLD ME THAT I STILL HAD TO CLEAN, KEEP THE YARD CLEAN.
SO AL FREDDIE LEE HAD HAD A FENCE ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BUILDING.

WE HAVE A BIBLE CLASS AT THE HOME NEXT DOOR TO AT FOUR 15 CREST.
AND, UM, WE CAUGHT THEM LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AFTER WE CAME OUTTA BIBLE CLASS AFTER NINE O'CLOCK, TRYING TO MOVE THINGS INTO THIS DILAPIDATED BUILDING.

[00:30:02]
IT'S, IT'S NOTHING REALLY THAT YOU CAN DO WHEN YOU, UH, LOOK UP UNDERNEATH THE STRUCTURE, ET CETERA.UH, IT'S JUST TOTALLY ROTTEN THROUGH AND THROUGH.

UH, THE SEAMS ARE COMING APART SINCE WE'VE SEEN THE PICTURES OF WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING.
LET ME ASK YOU A REAL QUICK QUESTION, IF I MAY.
UH, HOW LONG HAS THE TEMPLE OWNED THE REAL PROPERTY? SINCE 2003.
I, I'M, I'M, I'M JUST KIND OF, UH, REITERATING SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.
UM, UH, ANYTIME YOU GET A STRUCTURE WITH HOLES AND THINGS OF THIS NATURE, IT'S A FIRE HAZARD.
UM, WHEN WE WENT TO, UH, ENSURE THE, UH, UH, PROPERTY THAT'S IN, IN FRONT, THE BUILDING THAT'S IN FRONT OF THIS BUILDING, OUR MAIN STRUCTURE THERE, UH, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULDN'T EVEN INSURE IT BECAUSE OF THE FIRE HAD THE CONDITION THAT IT'S IN.

SO WE HAVE BEEN BATTLING THIS SINCE 2008.
SHE PAID NO TAXES BECAUSE THIS IS A CHURCH AND WHATEVER SHE HAS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S PAYING, BUT IT'S TAX EXEMPT BECAUSE WE ARE A CHURCH THAT PROPERTY.

SO YOU COULD SEE THIS IS THE HALLWAY GOING TOWARDS THE ADDITION OF THE MAIN.
IF YOU LOOK UP, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CEILING HAS CAVED IN.
UH, THE, THE DECKING IS MISSING.
IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO GO THROUGH HERE.
UM, ACTUALLY, I HAVE TO DUCK TO GO THROUGH HERE.
SO, UM, THE CEILING HAS CAVED DOWN TO ABOUT FOUR FOOT SIX INCHES.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THE BEDROOMS. AGAIN, A BEDROOM THAT
[00:45:01]
YOU CAN SEE OUT.OBVIOUSLY, THE, THE CEILING HAS CAVED IN.
YOU'RE SEEING THE ACTUAL UNDERNEATH OF THE DECKING.
ANOTHER BEDROOM, AGAIN, WITH THE DECKING IS MISSING.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BATHROOMS. YOU CAN SEE THE MOLD.
UM, IT HAS A CEILING FAN IN THE BATHROOM.
THIS IS THE FLOOR OF THE BATHROOM.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CEILING HAS FALLEN DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR.
AGAIN, THE CEILING IS CAVING IN.
UM, THERE'S MOLD STARTING HERE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEDROOMS. AGAIN, THE FLORIST SINK CAN SUNK SO MUCH.
THE, THE FOUNDATION THAT IT, YOU CAN TELL IN THIS BACK BEDROOM AGAIN WITH THE MOLD, YOU CAN SEE THE MOLD ON THE, UM, INSULATION.
THIS IS THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE THAT I'D LIKE TO INCLUDE IN THIS PRESENTATION.
THIS TWO HAS, UH, STARTED TO SINK.
THIS IS THE REAR END, THE LEFT ELEVATION I TOOK FROM THE ALLEYWAY.
I ACTUALLY WOULD NOT GO INSIDE BECAUSE TOO, TOO MANY THINGS WERE FALLING FROM THE ROOF.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO, UH, ADDRESS THIS AS ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO FOR THE BACK FENCE LINE ALONG THE, UH, ALLEYWAY.
WE HAVE CRACKING THROUGHOUT THE STUCCO.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S ACTUALLY HOLDING MOST OF THE WEIGHT OF THIS FENCE IS THE UTILITY POLE.
THERE IS AN EXACT FENCE, UM, SECTION THAT GOES BETWEEN THE TWO NEIGHBORS.
I HAVE NOT INCLUDED A PICTURE OF, UM, I'M NOT INCLUDING THAT AS PART OF THIS.
THIS STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1939.
IT IS A WOOD FRAME STRUCTURE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.
THERE'S A GABLE ROOF SYSTEM WITH A CONCRETE SLASH CLAY TILE.
THE TILES ARE BROKEN AND THE FASCIA BOARDS ARE ROTTED.
THERE ARE NOTED AREAS WHERE THE ELEMENTS ARE ALLOWED INTO THE STRUCTURE.
SOME OF THE DECKING IS MISSING.
THE EXTERIOR SIDING HAS A POSSIBLE STUCCO SIDING.
THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS THAT RUN THROUGHOUT THE EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE INTO THE INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
THERE'S A POST AND BEAM FOUNDATION THAT HAS SUNK INTO THE GROUND.
THE INTERIOR FLOORS ARE UNEVEN AND UNSAFE TO WALK ON.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OF RHODA INFESTATION AND MOLD.
TO RECAP THE MAIN STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1638.
STEVES AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 18.
ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE IS SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17.
AND ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO IS SUBSECTIONS 5, 7, 8, 12, AND 15, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HERE AND AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1638 STEVES AVENUE.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? MS. BROWN? UH, JUST, JUST SO I'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE DEMOLISHING HERE.
IT'S THE MAIN STR I'M LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, THE MAIN STRUCTURE OF THE CARPORT, THE MAIN ADDITION, AND THEN THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND THE BACK AND THE FENCE.
IS THAT CORRECT? SO IT'S EVERYTHING, YES.
'CAUSE THE, THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND THE CARPORT ARE ATTACHED.
[00:50:01]
UM, SO IT'S INCLUDED AS ONE.THE MAIN ADDITION IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THEN WE HAVE ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE, WHICH WOULD BE, I'M GOING TO CALL THE SHED.
AND THEN ALL I WANNA INCLUDE IS THE BACK FENCE THAT IS ALONG THE SERVICE ALLEY.
THE QUESTIONS, THE FENCE BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORS IS NOT BEING INCLUDED BECAUSE WHY? BECAUSE, UM, THE, IT'S A SHARED FENCE LINE.
IT'S NOT DILAPIDATED LIKE THE FRONT OR THE REAR FENCE IS.
UM, THE CRACKS ALONG THE REAR OF THE FENCE CARRY THROUGH TO THE, IN INTERIOR OF THAT FENCE LINE.
THE FENCE ON THIS SIDE IS NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL.
THERE'S NO REASON TO DEMOLISH IT.
AND WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO SAVE IT IF WE CAN.
NOW, OF COURSE, IF WE CAN'T DURING DEMOLITION, THEN WE CAN'T, BUT WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO SAVE IT AND OF COURSE IT'S A HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE.
EDWARD MARTINEZ, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, SIR, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR HOME ADDRESS.
UH, MY NAME IS EDWARD MARTINEZ.
STEVES, UM, I'M THE, WELL, I GUESS, WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO TELL YOU BESIDES MY ADDRESS AND MY NAME?
OKAY, WELL I GAVE, WELL, I, LIKE I SAID, MY, MY RESIDENCE IS 1626 AND MY MAILING ADDRESS IS 1630.
SO I, I UNDISPUTED THAT THIS HAS TO BE DEMOLISHED.
WHEN I BOUGHT IT, I KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN, UH, JUST TO, IT'S GONNA BE EXPEDITIOUSLY.
NOW, I SUPPLIED A TIMELINE THAT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, FOLLOW, I DID SUPPLY A SCOPE OF WORK BY THE DEMOLITION COMPANY THAT I HAVE.
I HAVEN'T REACHED OUT BACK TO 'EM PENDING THIS MEETING.
UM, BASICALLY I DO WANNA SAVE THE FENCE LINE IF POSSIBLE, BOTH REAR AND FRONT.
I THINK THE BACK CAN BE REPAIRED.
IT MAY, IT MAY TAKE SOME MONEY.
I DID PROVE, UH, PROVIDED PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS WAS, I THINK IS ADEQUATE TO, UH, PROCURING THOSE, UH, THOSE, UH, THOSE REPAIRS.
UH, AND IT'S A SHAME THAT THE BUILDING HAS TO GO DOWN.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I HAVE, I'M ENTERTAINING, UH, SALES AT THIS BUYERS AT THIS POINT.
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY'RE UNDER BIDDING ME.
SO I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A FAIR AND, UH, EQUITABLE, UH, SALE IF I CAN.
IF NOT, I WILL PROCEED WITH THE, WITH THE, UH, ACTUAL, UH, UH, SCOPE OF WORK.
UH, LIKE I SAY, I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT OFF THE BOOKS BY 31ST.
IF I CAN'T GET A BUYER OF THE 31ST OF THIS YEAR, UM, ANYTHING SOONER, IT'D BE FAR AS OPTIMAL.
SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE YOU WANNA ASK ME.
UH, ON THE FENCE, DO YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF ENGINEERING INFORMATION AT THIS, THIS POINT? NO, BUT I, LIKE I SAY, I'M TRYING TO, I'M ENTERTAINING BUYERS.
I'M AGGRESSIVELY SEEKING THEM NOW JUST TO SEE, UH, IF I CAN, UH, YOU KNOW, GET SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WANT TO, WANTS TO DO A PROJECT.
'CAUSE BASICALLY, UH, I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID THAT THEY WANT TO PUT MONEY INTO IT, BUT I THINK ONCE THEY REALIZE THE, THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT'S INVOLVED, THEY MAY, MAY, THEY MAY CHANGE THEIR MIND.
SO I HAVEN'T, UH, BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THE BUILDING, I DON'T LET PEOPLE IN.
SO THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S OKAY.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. MARTINEZ, MR. HARPER? SO THIS, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE MARCH, RIGHT? OF THIS YEAR.
SO WHY HAS IT NOT NOTHING BEEN DONE WITH IT UNTIL NOW AND, AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS.
SO AT THAT POINT, IT'LL BE A YEAR WITH THE PROPERTY SITTING IN THIS CONDITION, YOU KNOW? WELL, LIKE I SAID, I'M GONNA, I'M, I'M GONNA AGGRESSIVELY BE, UM, WELL I HAVE THOSE SALES, THOSE PEOPLE COME AND, AND CALL ME ALL THE TIME, BUT I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND AGGRESSIVELY SELL IT BECAUSE BASICALLY I THINK I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND REINVEST THE MONEY BASICALLY.
AND, AND IF SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO SAVE IT OR WANTS, HAS OTHER PLANS FOR IT, LET THEM DO IT.
IT'S TIME FOR SOMEBODY ELSE TO TAKE, TAKE THAT ON.
I, UH, I WOULD LIKE THE ADEQUATE TIME TO AT LEAST GET, GET, UM, MY MONEY'S BACK, MY MONEY BACK, OR SOMETHING'S EQUITABLE, YOU KNOW, UH, LIKE I SAY, IF ANYTHING ELSE, IF I HAVE TO GO ON WITH THE, UH, WITH THE ABATEMENT PROCESS, WELL THEN I HAVE TO GO ON WITH THE ABATEMENT PROCESS.
BUT RIGHT NOW I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN SOME BUYERS TO SEE IF THEY, IF THEY'RE WILLING TO TAKE IT.
UM, WE WE'RE NOT HERE TO, I, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT WE'RE NOT HERE TO WAIT FOR YOU TO ENTERTAIN.
BUT I JUST, BY THE TIMELINE, I MEAN, I'M JUST, I'M JUST ASKING FOR YOUR, IF YOU DIDN'T BRING THE CONTRACT IN WITH YOU AND THE, THE BUYER, THE SELLER, AND THE BUYER, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT REALLY.
AND WE, ALL WE HAVE IS WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US.
THAT'S, I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETE COMPLETELY.
IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, AND I APOLOGIZE IF I MISPRONOUNCE HIS NAME 'CAUSE I'M SURE I DID.
IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE.
[00:55:01]
ON.DO I NEED TO REPEAT THAT? REPEAT IT AGAIN PLEASE.
UH, JOSEPH SHIRTLE, UH, 1642 STEVES AVENUE.
I LIVE TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY MENTIONED HERE.
UM, AND MY, UH, REASON FOR BEING HERE IS, UH, THAT THE, THE EAST FENCE LINE THERE, UM, IS, IS IN, I JUST WANTED TO, UH, TO GIVE YOU, UM, A RECORD OF, OF, OF WHAT THAT, UH, FENCE LINE MEANS TO US.
UM, IT IS A STUCCO STONE, UM, WALL.
UM, AND IT IS UPRIGHT, STANDING UPRIGHT.
AND, UH, WHEN WE PURCHASED THE HOUSE IN, UM, 2006, UH, IT WAS ONE OF THE, THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BACKYARD.
UM, IT'S A VERY, UM, A NICE, UH, WALL.
AND, UH, WE WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO KEEP IT, IT IS NOT IN ANY WAY INTERFERING WITH OUR LIVES.
IT'S NOT, UH, WE DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S, UM, A NUISANCE OR AN EYESORE.
WE ACTUALLY, IT, IT EMBELLISHES OUR BACKYARD.
SO I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO KEEP THE, THE, THE, THAT, THAT EAST SIDE OF THE FENCE.
UM, AND THAT IS, UH, MY, UH, SINCE THE CODE OFFICER'S NOT INCLUDING THAT IN HER REPORT, WE'RE NOT EVEN GONNA CONSIDER THAT.
SO YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT IT'S GOING TO STAY AT LEAST UNTIL SHE BRINGS THAT BACK TO A BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD ISSUE.
SO YOU'RE SAFE ON YOUR PARTICULAR ISSUE AT THIS TIME.
ANY, UH, LET ME, LET ME HAVE THE BOARD ASK IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS OF YOU, THOUGH, EVEN THOUGH I'VE SAID YOU'RE PRETTY WELL ASSURED, UH, LET THE, ANY MS. BROWN, NO, NO, NO, NOTHING.
CHAIR, TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION, I'LL DO A MOTION HERE.
UH, I FOUND THE PROPERTY AT 1638 STEVE'S AVENUE.
UM, I'M MOVING THE, THE MAIN AND THE ACCESSORY BUILDING AT 1638.
STEVE'S, IT'S A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6.156.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN WOULD BE, UH, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15 FOR THE FIRST ACCESSORY.
AND, UH, FOR NUMBER TWO, UH, THE, THE SECOND, THE FIRST ACCESSORY WOULD BE 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 15, AND 17.
AND FOR NUMBER THREE, WHICH WOULD BE THE BACK PART OF THE FENCE, 5, 7, 8, 12, AND 13, I THINK.
AND, UH, I FIND THAT THE DETERIORATED FOUNDATION AND THE ROTTED FLOORING IS UNSECURED AND THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS BEYOND FEASIBILITY FOR REPAIR IN ORDER THAT THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN A 30 DAY PERIOD.
UH, JUST TO RUN REAL QUICK QUESTIONS ON THE ACCESSORY ONE.
UH, SUBSECTIONS 2 5 7, 8 11, UH, WAS 12 NOT INCLUDED IN THAT? COULD HAVE BEEN AND I MISSED IT.
SO 12 IS INCLUDED IN THE MOTION IS TO, UH, DEMO IN 30 DAYS, UH, AS A RESULT OF SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 18.
FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17.
AND FOR THE DEFENSE ACCESSORY TWO, UH, SUBSECTIONS 5, 7, 8, 12, AND 15.
UH, ANY DISCUSSION? NO DISCUSSION.

THAT THE TIMBERS THERE RIGHT HERE, MA'AM? THE POST? YEAH.
IS THE TREE GROWING INSIDE THE, UM, THE OTHER PART RIGHT THERE.
IT'S RIGHT DOWN ALONG THE FENCE LINE RIGHT HERE, MA'AM.
SO IS THAT THEIR FRONT FENCE, THEIR TREE OR THIS, THIS IS THEIR STRUCTURE HERE.
IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE NEIGHBOR'S SIDE OF THE FENCE.
THERE'S A CHAIN LINK FENCE RIGHT HERE.
AND THIS TREE IS ON THE NEIGHBOR'S SIDE.
SO I, YOU SAID THAT THE TIMBERS, YOU WERE CALLING OUT THE, THE TIMBER PART OF IT, RIGHT? BUT NOT THE STRUCTURAL PART OF IT? WELL, THE, WE HAVE THE OVERHANG.
UM, AND EVERYTHING IS ALL INCLUDED IN OUR ALL IN THERE.
SIR DORIS TAPIA, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE MA'AM, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
MY ADDRESS IS 4 0 3 CLIFF SAN ANTONIO.
YOU WOULD PRESENT YOUR CASE AS FOR WHATEVER NOTIFICATION? THE ONLY REASON THAT I CAME IS I CAN RECEIVE THE LETTER IN THE MAIL.
OTHER THAN THAT, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING.
AND IT'S NOT THE PERSON'S FAULT AND IT'S NOT MY FAULT.
I LIVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF A HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY TEND TO TAKE STUFF OFF OF OUR DOORS AND STUFF.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
ALL MY CARS THAT ARE THERE ARE IMPROPER ORDER OR WHAT I HAD TO WHAT CARS? JUNK CARS I HAD TO REMOVE.
I DON'T,
UH, SO NOT AN ISSUE THAT TYPICALLY DISCUSS TODAY.
THE, THE PRIMARY ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY THAT YOU'VE GOT STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF.
I KNOW I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE FRONT, THE FRONT PORTION OF IT.
I HAVE CONTACTED THE INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT WHEN WE HAD THE ROOF CHECKED, UH, THE PERSON THAT, THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY, THEY TOLD US THAT THE ROOF WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD.
SO WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. AND WHEN IT WAS CHECKED, AND THEN WHEN THAT SECTION CAME UP, WE CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SENT SOMEBODY OUT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WON'T TOUCH IT.
THEY WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE APPARENTLY MY ROOF HAS TWO DIFFERENT DATES.
LOOK AT THE PEAKS, THE PEAK PORTION OF THE HOUSE? YES.
THAT'S NOW IT'S ABOUT 11 YEARS OLD, BUT THE FLAT PORTION THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT IS ABOUT 40 YEARS OLD.
SO THE INSURANCE COMPANY REFUSES TO FIX ANY PORTION OF IT.
THAT'S, THAT'S MESSED UP LIKE THAT BECAUSE OF THE TWO DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT, UH, TIMES.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE ROOF DOES NEED TO BE REPAIRED, IS THAT CORRECT? IT'S, THAT'S THAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CAR? YES.
AND UP THE SLOPE OF THAT ROOF, THERE'S SOME REPAIR WORK NEEDED FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO GO FROM THE EDGE OF THE CARPORT GOING UP THE ROOF.
IT'S JUST THAT CARPORT SECTION THAT THAT AREA? YES.
YEAH, THAT AND THAT'S ABOUT, AND YOU'VE GOT FACIA BOARDS THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED.
I HAVE WHAT FACIA BOARDS OR THIS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
UH, IF YOU WOULD GO BACK TO, UH, I THINK IT'S SLIDE PROBABLY FOUR OR FIVE.
UH, TAKE A LOOK AT THAT PARTICULAR AREA.
THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF THE ROOF LINE AND THE FASCIA BOARDS.
THAT, THAT PART RIGHT THERE? YES.
AND THE BACK STRUCTURES, THE POST AND BEAM THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED IN THE BACK ON THE SIDE? YES.
I, MY NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET, THEY HAD A ROOFER THERE AND HE CAME AND LOOKED AT THE ROOF AND HE SAID THAT THAT'S JUST, IT'S NOT, UM, I, I'M GONNA SAY THAT HE SAID IT WAS MORE DECORATIVE, SO IT'S REALLY NOT NEEDED IN THE CASE OF, OF ONE OF THOSE.
[01:10:01]
WHAT HE TOLD ME IT WAS.THERE'S A VERTICAL SUPPORT THAT'S TOTALLY NOT IN CONTACT WITH YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE THAT I HAD CHECKED AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT'S, IT'S JUST THEIR DECORATIVE, THOSE BOARDS ARE THERE, JUST THERE, THEY'RE NOT HOLDING UP THE ROOF OR ANYTHING.
I CAN, THOSE, THOSE ARE THE ITEMS THAT THE CODE OFFICER IS ADDRESSING.
THOSE ARE THE ITEMS. AND HE TOLD ME HE YOU'LL NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO.
YEAH, HE TOLD ME THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO, I CAN EITHER, YOU KNOW, I CAN TAKE ALL OF 'EM OFF IF I WANTED TO, IS WHAT THE MAN TOLD ME.
BUT I DID, I DID TELL, YOU KNOW, I DID WANNA GET THAT FIXED AND I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO THAT, BUT I'VE HAD SOME BAD ISSUES SINCE, FOR ABOUT, SINCE 2017 I'VE BEEN DECLARED DISABLED.
SO I HAD TO QUIT WORKING AND FINANCIALLY I CAN'T AFFORD TO DO VERY MUCH.
UM, SO THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING.
AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING TO SEE WHO CAN HELP ME FIX THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE MY INSURANCE WON'T DO IT.
THE COURT OFFICER'S GIVING YOU SOME INFORMATION THAT, WOULD SHE PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL HELP? SHE TOLD ME TODAY THAT, THAT I WOULD, IF I CAN LOOK AT THAT AND I, ONCE I DO THAT, HE GIVES, THEY GAVE ME THE PAPER, I'LL START MAKING PHONE CALLS TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOMEBODY TO HELP ME TO FIX THAT.
DOES BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MS. TAPIA? SO THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT YOU SINCE APRIL, BUT YOUR TESTIMONY IS THAT UNTIL THIS HEARING, YOU HAD NO IDEA ANYBODY WAS TRYING TO CONTACT YOU.
ARE THERE ANY ISSUES, ANYTHING? THE ONLY THING THAT I RECEIVED WAS, UH, THE LETTER IN THE MAIL.
UM, I TALKED TO THE LADY YESTERDAY BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD A, A HEARING.
I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS YESTERDAY.
SO I CONTACTED THE 3 1 1 TO LET HIM KNOW, YOU KNOW, I WASN'T ABLE TO COME 'CAUSE MY SON GOT REAL SICK AND HE WAS AT THE, WE WERE AT THE DOCTOR'S.
SO I CONTACTED HER AND SHE'S THE ONE THAT TOLD ME THAT IT WAS TODAY.
BUT IF ANYTHING'S ON MY DOOR OR ANYTHING, IF YOU'RE KNOCKING ON THE FRONT DOOR, YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING AT ALL.
MY, THE HOUSE IS SO STRUCTURALLY SOUND.
YOU CAN HEAR ANYTHING AT ALL IN THE HOUSE.
UNLESS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND THE FRONT OR SOMEBODY IS PASSING THE FRONT DOOR, YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING IN THE BACK.
YOU MUST STAY RIGHT THERE FOR THE TIME BEING.
UH, CHAIRMAN, ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
FIND THE, WE FIND THE PROPERTY AT 4 0 3 CLIFF AVENUE, NEW CITY BLOCK 8 9 7 4 BLOCK LOT 14 IN VIOLATION OF THE SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, SPECIFICALLY 3 0 4 0.730 4.4, AND 3 0 4 0.9.
AND THAT CORRECTIVE ACTION BE TAKEN WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER TODAY THING.
UH, JUST TO CONFIRM, SINCE THERE WERE, UM, TWO DIFFERENT DATES OF NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS, WE'RE GONNA NEED TWO DIFFERENT, UM, ORDERS.
UH, I BELIEVE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS, WHICH WAS THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION ON THAT, UM, HAPPENED ON SEVEN 16 AS THE OTHERS HAPPENED ON FOUR 17 2019.
SO WOULD NEED, UM, 3 0 4 0.4 ON ITS OWN, AND THEN 3 0 4 0.7 AND 3 0 4 0.9, UH, TOGETHER.

STRUCTURE AT 4 0 3 CLIFF AVENUE, UH, BECAUSE OF IN VIOLATION OF 3 0 4 0.4.UH, YOU'VE GOT 90 DAYS TO REPAIR IT.

I DID NOTICE, UH, FROM FRONT TO BACK, UH, PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.
SO, UM, THAT'S GONNA TELL ME, UM, WHAT I'M GONNA BE WALKING ON WHEN I GO INSIDE THE HOUSE.

THIS IS THE KITCHEN AREA, AND ALSO, UH, SIGNS OF WATER DAMAGE.
THIS IS A ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, NUMBER ONE, AND IT IS A SMALL, UH, SHED.
AND, UH, THE PICTURES WILL SHOW THAT THE ROOF, THE WALL, THE WALL FRAME, AND THE SLAB IS DAMAGED.

YES.
GIVE IT TO THE LADIES ADJACENT TO YOU.
WHEN IS THE CLOSING? I'M SORRY? WHEN IS THE CLOSING? UH, SOMETIME THIS WEEK.
THIS WEEK, SOMETIME NEXT WEEK.
THAT'S WHY I ASK HIM FOR A LITTLE MORE INSTINCT OF TIME.
THE CONTRACT THAT YOU'VE GOT LEGALLY IS REVIEWING THAT BEFORE IT COMES TO THE BOARD, SO IT'LL BE JUST A MOMENT BEFORE WE GET TO SEE THAT CONTRACT.
BUT JUST GIVE US A SECOND SO THAT WE CAN REVIEW THE CONTRACT.
IS THE BUYER ACTUALLY HERE TODAY? UH, NO, SIR.
LEGAL, IT'S STILL, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IF THE BUYER'S NOT AWARE, IF THE BUYER'S AWARE, THERE IS A, UM, PORTION IN THE CONTRACT THAT IT, THAT DEFINITELY STATES THE PROPERTY'S NOT IN LIVING CONDITION.
THE, UH, THERE IS NO TITLE INFORMATION.
THERE IS NO ATTORNEY INFORMATION.
I MEAN, THERE'S A SIGNATURE ON THE BUYER LINE AND THE SIGNATURE ON THE SELLER LINE.
I DO WANNA REMIND THIS BOARD THAT ANY ORDER THAT THIS BOARD GIVES RUNS WITH THE LAND.
UM, WE ARE HERE TO DETERMINE WHETHER A PROPERTY IS CONSIDERED A DILAPIDATED OR DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
AND IF IT IS, HOW IS THAT PROPERTY TO BE HANDLED? UM, IN REGARDS TO SELLING, UH, A PROPERTY THAT IS DETERMINED TO BE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
IT'S UP TO THE BOARD TO MAKE THAT DECISION.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE INTENT OF THE BUYER IS? UH, THE INTENTION OF THE BUYER, IF, IF I'M CORRECT, IS TO REDEEM THE PROBLEMS THERE IN THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
DID HE PROVIDE YOU WITH ANY INFORMATION IN TERMS OF HIS PLAN OF ACTION, HIS DATE? UH, COURSE OF ACTION? UH, NO, SIR.
YOU, YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE, THE, THE BUILDING, THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, OKAY.
IT'S, IT'S WHAT WE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO TEAR DOWN, BUT THE, THE CONTRACT, YOU KNOW, IT'S FOR THE LAND ITSELF, THAT'S THE, THE, UH, THE PROPERTY RUN AND WHATEVER OUR DECISION IS RUNS WITH THE LAND.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT DOESN'T RUN WITH THE BUILDING? WELL, THE BUILDING STRUCTURE IS, IS ATTACHED TO THE LAND.
BUT YOU, WELL, YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE TO TALK TO YOUR CODE OFFICER AND MAYBE THEY CAN EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR OR REALTOR, SOMEONE IN YOUR CONTRACT.
BUT THE, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE DO RUNS WITH THE LAND.
UH, MR. SENECA HAS A QUESTION.
I THINK THE REALTOR'S HERE, BUT, BUT I MEAN, THE THING IS THIS, IT'S, IT CARRIES OVER ANY DECISION WE MAKE HERE.
LIKE THE CITY ATTORNEY STATED, IT CARRIES OVER, UH, AS LONG YOU SEE, WE CAN'T GET IN THERE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE, THE TITLE COMPANY HASN'T
[01:30:01]
LOOKED AT IT, HASN'T TAKEN IT TO, UH, PRODUCTION AND, UH, THE FACTORY.BUT THE THING IS THIS, THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T, CAN'T ASK YOU IF THE BUYER'S AWARE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE GOING TO MAKE A DECISION TODAY.
OKAY? IF, IF WE SAY, MAKE THE DECISION TO DEMOLISH IT, YOU KNOW, UH, AND THE, THE BUYER HAS TO BE AWARE, DISCLOSED THE DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF WHAT THE LIKES, BUT, SO WE GOTTA MAKE A DECISION, OKAY? EVEN IF IT'S ASS OR THE LIKES, WE GOTTA MAKE A DECISION HERE.
AND, UH, IF, IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT YOU WANT TO COME AND SPEAK, OKAY? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHO'S JUST, JUST FOR INFORMATION, OKAY? WE DO HAVE ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS, SO WE'LL HEAR FROM NATIONAL SPEAKER.
HOW RECENT IS THIS CONTRACT, SIR? UM, ABOUT TWO MONTHS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO THAT'S NOT UP TO DATE FOR US.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD, SIR? NO, THAT'S, YOU WANT SOMETHING THERE? AND, AND WHO ARE, WHO ARE YOU PLEASE? THERE IS A SETTLEMENT STATEMENT, JUST SO I'M SORRY, BEFORE SHE CONTINUES.
I NEED A, WE NEED A NAME AND A AND ADDRESS, UM, ORNO.
I'M SORRY, DO IT AGAIN, PLEASE.
UM, SS, UM, AT 7 2 2 INDIANA STREET.
AND, UM, WE HAD A SETTLEMENT STATEMENT THAT NEEDED TO BE REVISED.
THE CLOSING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE ON TUESDAY, BUT THERE NEEDED TO BE A CORRECTION, AND THAT SHOULD BE DONE TODAY OR TOMORROW.
WHAT'S YOUR RELATION TO THE PROPERTY? UM, MY FATHER OWNED IT AT THE TIME FOR THE CURRENT OWNERS.
AND THE, THE CONTRACT CLOSING DATE IS JUNE 25TH, SO THAT WAS THREE MONTHS AGO.
BUT YOU'RE SAYING NO, THE CLOSING, YEAH, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT WE HAD TITLE ISSUES.
SO THAT'S BEEN, UM, CORRECTED.
SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE CLOSING THIS PAST TUESDAY.
IT DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE THE, UH, SETTLEMENT STATEMENT HAD TO BE REVISED.
THAT'S WHY THIS ONE IS NOT SIGNED.
THAT'S, THAT'S JUST AN ISSUE OF TIMING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
TIMING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE ITSELF.
UH, UH, NO, THE TRACK, THE, THE STRUCTURE WAS GOING TO BE, UM, I WANNA SAY REPAIRED, BUT WHEN I SAY IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, IT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE INFORMATION THAT THIS BOARD HAS TO HAVE.
AND THAT IS A SCOPE OF WORK, FINANCIAL ABILITY TO DO THE WORK? NO, IT DOESN'T.
AND THE TIMEFRAME NECESSARY TO DO THE WORK.
AND WITHOUT THOSE THREE PIECES OF INFORMATION, THE BOARD ONLY HAS, UH, A CONSIDERATION TO, UH, LOOK AT THE STRUCTURE AS PROVIDED BY THE CODE OFFICER AND DETERMINE CAN IT BE REPAIRED OR CAN IT NOT BE REPAIRED? AND THAT'S A DECISION THAT THE BOARD HAS TO MAKE ITSELF.
SO WHAT YOU HAVE THERE IS JUST A, A, A TIME FACTOR ON THE, UH, EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY VALUES, SO, OKAY.
UH, WE'RE SUFFICIENT WITH THAT INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDED.
UH, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD, SIR? UH, NO, NOT AT THIS MOMENT, SIR.
UH, I CANNOT READ THE LAST NAME.
FRANCISCO AND I, I DO NOT HAVE, IS THERE A FRANCISCO HERE? YOU WOULD, YOU SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS PROPERTY.
IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, PLEASE.
SINCE YOU SIGNED UP, I NEED TO ASK, YOU'LL HAVE YOU COME UP AND, UH, GIVE US AN INFORMATION ON WHY YOU SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS PROPERTY.
BEFORE, BEFORE YOU START, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR HOME ADDRESS, PLEASE.
MY NAME IS FRANCISCO JAVIER SALAZAR, SAN ANTONIO.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS, UH, 6 3 3 WINCO COURT, SAN ANTONIO.
IF YOU WOULD STATE YOUR POSITION, I'M THE ONE THAT'S INTERESTED IN BUYING THE PROPERTY.
[01:35:18]
SO WHEN I WAS INTERESTED IN LOOKING INTO THE PROPERTY, I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A NOTIFICATION POSTED, POSTED FOR REPAIRS.SO NOW I BELIEVE I NEED TIME TO LOOK MORE INTO THIS PROPERTY BEFORE I ACTUALLY MAKE A FINAL DECISION.
DOES THE PANEL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THIS PERSON? THANK YOU.
I, I MOVE THAT THE DOMAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AT 7 1 5 RICKFORD STREET ARE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN ACCESSORY ONE AND ACCESSORY TWO ARE 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
UH, DUE TO THE REASONS STATED BY THE CODE OFFICER AND THAT THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ARE BEYOND FEASIBILITY OF REPAIR IN ORDER THAT THE MAIN AND BOTH ACCESSORY STRUCTURES BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS, MOTION IS TO DEMOLISH IN 30 DAYS.
ANY DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.
SO THE MOTION CARRIES THREE OH, WITH ONE ABSTENTION WITH A 30 DAY DEMOLITION, UH, AS A RESULT OF, UH, THAT'S THE MAIN AND TWO ACCESSORIES, UH, FOR SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
UH, AND OUR NEXT CASE IS GOING TO BE, I'M SORRY.
DID I HEAR THIS? SOMEBODY ABSTAINED.
CAN I, CAN I ASK AS TO, AS TO WHY? IF HE'S WILLING TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION, WELL THEN WOULD GIMME A SECOND.
DID HE WANT ABSTAIN OR VOTE AGAINST? ABSTAIN? WHAT'S YOUR REASON AS IN RECUSE YOURSELF FROM THIS ONE? UH, JUST TO ABSTAIN FROM VOTING ON IT TO RECUSE MYSELF? YEAH.
IF YOU ABSTAINING, DOESN'T GIVE US A QUORUM.
AND, UH, BUT A RE RE RECUSAL, UH, HE COULD, HE COULD VOTE NAY IF HE'D LIKE, WHICH IS NO, NO.
LET'S GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS.
CAN, CAN WE, MR. CHAIR, JUST TO BE, UH, MAKE SURE WE'RE FORMAL.
ON, ON, ON, ON RIP FORD, CAN WE DO THE VOTING AGAIN ON THAT ONE PLEASE? THE MOTION FOR SEVEN 15 REDFORD STREET, UH, WAS FOR THE 30 DAY DEMOLITION OF THE MAIN AND BOTH ACCESSORIES AS A RESULT OF VIOLATION OF SUBSECTIONS 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, AND 15.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION FOR DEMOLITION IN 30 DAYS.
MR. HARPER, MS. BROWN, AND MR. NELSON VOTED.
SO, MOTION CARRIES THREE TO ONE.
ARE WE LEGALLY GOOD AT THE PRESENT TIME? WE ARE.
[4. 19-6431 (CD-5) 219 Pendleton]
OUR NEXT PROPERTY IS TWO 19 PENDLETON.B S P MEMBERS FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS RAMIRO GUERRA, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT TWO 19 PENDLETON WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME TWO 19 PENDLETON IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD.
PLEASE NOTE ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018,
[01:40:01]
A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED.THE INSPECTION IS A COLLABORATED INSPECTION WITH A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDED THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THERE IS NO BLOCK NUMBER, LOT 35, OR EXCUSE ME, LOT.
3 59, 360 360 1, AND 360 2 LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL.
THE OWNER, THE OWNER ON RECORD, ACCORDING TO BEAR APPRAISAL, IS GON CHAVEZ WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF TWO 19 PENDLETON, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 4.
THERE IS AN IN INDIVIDUAL THAT'S PRESENT TODAY THAT IS INDICATING THAT HE HAS PURCHASED A PROPERTY, UH, HIS NAME IS RAUL ORTIZ AND HE'S ASSIGNED UP TO SPEAK OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
HAS CONFIRMED ON JANUARY 11TH, 2019, THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 2000, UH, TWO 19 PENDLETON AVENUE WAS CONDUCTED ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018.
ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2018, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT REMAINS PENDING ON AUGUST 15TH, 2019.
THE PRE-BOARD CONFERENCE HEARING WAS HELD, BUT THE OWNER FAILED TO, UH, TO SHOW ON AUGUST 22ND, 2019.
THE NOTICE FOR THE B S B HEARING IS POSTED AT TWO 19 PENDLETON.
THE NOTICE FOR THE B S B HEARING WAS MAILED TO CONSUELA CHAVEZ, AND THEIR CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED AS VACANT.
ON AUGUST 7TH, 2019, AN ADMINISTRATIVE OF WARRANT WAS EXECUTED TO OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS TO PRESENT BEFORE THE BOARD.
TODAY, THE OWNER ON RECORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A, UM, ANY, UM, FINANCIAL PROOF, UM, OR LETTER OF CREDITORS OR ENGINEERS REPORT.
BUT THE OWNER THAT, UM, OR THE GENTLEMAN THAT'S HERE IS THAT INDICATING THAT HE HAS PURCHASED THE PROPERTY, DOES HAVE SOME ITEMS THAT HE'S PRESENTING, AND THERE ARE NO CURRENT PERMITS, UM, THAT HAVE BEEN OBTAINED.
PROPERTY HAS BEEN CUT AND CLEANED BY THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, UM, AND SECURED.
I DID MENTION THIS WAS A DART INSPECTION.
UM, SAN ANTONIO POLICE, UH, DEPARTMENT CANNOT BE HERE TODAY.
UM, HOWEVER, SOME OF THE ISSUES WERE JUST, UH, THERE WERE CONSISTING OF DISTURBANCES, FIGHTS, UM, DRUNK DUDE KIND OF THINGS THAT KIND OF, THOSE KIND OF SORTS.
UM, IT WASN'T OVERLY, IT WAS NOT OVERLY EXTENSIVE.
UM, HOWEVER, UM, WHEN WE CONDUCTED THE INSPECTION, UH, ONE OF THE OWNER'S, DAUGHTERS AND SON-IN-LAW ARE NOW IN PRISON.
UM, THERE WERE REPORTS OF, UH, DRUG CELLS COMING THROUGH THAT HOUSE.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FRONT ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE THE, UH, HIP ROOF SYSTEM HERE IS WORN.
UM, EXCUSE ME, THE COVER IS WORN.
YOU CAN SEE ALONG HERE, THERE'S SOME DECKING THAT IS, UH, STARTING TO WARP ALONG THE EDGE HERE.
THIS IS THE, THE REAR AND, UH, WEST ELEVATION.
THIS IS HOW THE PROPERTY WAS BEING MAINTAINED.
ON THE DAY OF THE INSPECTION, YOU CAN SEE SEVERAL WINDOWS THAT ARE BOARDED.
UM, THIS WINDOW BACK HERE, THERE'S A DOOR HERE.
UM, REALLY IT WAS MORE OF A WINDOW.
IT'S NOT REALLY A DOOR, BUT THE DOOR WAS THERE TO BLOCK THE WINDOW.
IT WAS BELIEVED THAT, UM, THAT BACK WINDOW WITH THE HOLE IN THE, IN THE WINDOW.
UM, ONE OF THE SUNS THAT WAS LIVING THERE WAS SELLING DRUGS THROUGH THE WINDOW AND PEOPLE COMING, COMING IN AND OUT.
THIS WAS ON AUGUST 7TH, AND YOU CAN SEE THERE'S HASN'T BEEN ANY CHANGE.
CITY DID, UM, BOARD THE STRUCTURE.
YOU CAN SEE THE, THE ROOF IS WORN.
YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A MISSING POST HERE.
UM, SO, AND THIS BOARD OVER HERE, THIS TWO BY FOUR IS IN POOR CONDITION.
YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S S LANDED THAT IS, UH, POORLY SUPPORTED.
THIS IS ON THE WEST ELEVATION AND IT IS APPEARING BEAM FOUNDATION.
AND AS THE PHOTOS WILL SHOW, UM, SOME OF THESE POSTS ARE VERY DETERIORATED.
UH, NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE REAR PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS FACING THE NORTH, UM, TO THE NORTH ELEVATION.
UM, THERE'S DIFFERENT IDEAS OF WHY THAT IS.
UM, IT'S BELIEVED MAYBE THERE WAS A BASEMENT, UM, AT ONE TIME, AND IT IS A LARGE HOLE.
IT, IT DOES SINK PRETTY FAR DOWN.
UM, SO IT ALMOST GIVES AN INDICATION OF A BASEMENT.
HOWEVER, UM, I DIDN'T SEE ANY CONCRETE WALLS OF ANY SORT.
THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE GRADE.
[01:45:01]
IT'S HARD TO DETERMINE.THERE IS LIKE, UH, MAYBE A TWO BY FOUR HERE THAT'S BEEN THERE TO SHIM, KIND OF SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION.
UM, SO RIGHT HERE, THERE'S A LOT OF SOIL THAT'S JUST SYNCED IN THERE.
UM, AND NOT PROVIDING SUFFICIENT, UM, UH, SUPPORT TO THE, TO THOSE OUTER POST.
THIS IS UNDER THE HOUSE IN THAT SINKHOLE OR, OR, UH, BASEMENT.
WHICHEVER WAY WE WANT TO DETERMINE IT IS.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A, A WIDE SPAN FROM WHERE I'M TAKING THE PHOTO, WHICH IS, UM, ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE, OF THE, UH, ELEVATION TO THIS NICK'S JOIST HERE.
SO THAT'S A LONG SPAN THERE WITH NO SUPPORT THERE.
AND RIGHT HERE YOU CAN SEE IT'S KIND OF TRENCHED OUT.
UM, AGAIN, THERE IS NO BASEMENT DOOR.
NOW THERE IS A, A BEDROOM ABOVE IT.
AND THAT'S THE BEDROOM WHERE THAT WINDOW WITH THE BOARD, WITH THE HOLE IN THE ROOM, UH, WAS BEING USED.
AND THAT'S WHERE THEY BELIEVE THAT MAYBE SOME DRUGS WERE BEING SOLD OUTTA THERE.
IT HAD A BED WITH A PROPPED UP, UH, PLATFORM, AND WITH SOME HINGES ON IT, IT WAS BELIEVED MAYBE THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE BASEMENT OR THIS HOLE ON THE GROUND INTO THAT BEDROOM.
CAN SEE THE DETERIORATION ALONG THIS ELEVATION.
ON HERE, ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE HOW IT'S EXPOSING THESE POSTS RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE CONCRETE ON THIS POST, JEOPARDIZING THE INTEGRITY OF THAT, OF THAT POST.
YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH THE GRADE IS JUST, UH, WASHED INTO THAT HOLE.
YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS POST HERE IS PROTRUDING OUTWARD.
UM, IT'S JUST SIGNS OF THE FOUNDATION, UM, AND, AND SIGNIFICANT NEED OF REPAIRS.
AND SOME FURTHER PHOTOS, THEY'LL SHOW THAT IT IS UNLEVEL ON THE INSIDE, THIS IS THE FRONT PORCH.
YOU CAN SEE SOME DETERIORATED WOOD MEMBERS.
AGAIN, IT'S JUST POOR LACK OF MAINTENANCE TO THE STRUCTURE.
UM, HERE YOU CAN SEE HOW WORN THE ROOF IS MULTIPLE, UM, TYPES OF, UH, SHINGLES.
UM, SO SOME POOR ATTEMPTS TO KIND OF COVER UP THE, THE, SOME PATCHWORK TO COVER THE, UH, THE POOR ROOF CONDITIONS.
AGAIN, JUST LACK OF MAINTENANCE.
YOU CAN SEE HOW WORN THOSE SHINGLES ARE.
SO RIGHT UNDER THIS ROOM, THIS IS WHERE THAT LARGE HOLE IS.
UM, NOT PROVIDING VERY MUCH SUPPORT TO THIS, TO THIS SIDE OF THE, OF THE HOUSE.
THE DAY OF THE DART, THERE WAS A LOT OF EXPOSED, EXCUSE ME, THERE WAS A LOT OF EXTENSION CORDS, UM, SPLICED, UM, GOING TO DIFFERENT, UM, LIGHT FIXTURES.
UM, SO A LOT OF THAT'S BEEN REMOVED.
UM, THE OWNER HAS THE OWNER, UM, SHORTLY AFTER THE DART.
WHEN WE CONDUCTED THE DART, UH, SHE HAD TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS LIVING WITH HER.
UM, THE SON, ONE OF THE SONS DID MOVE HER OUT.
NOW SHE'S NOW LIVING WITH THEM.
UH, AS FAR AS WE KNOW, SHE'S STILL WITH THEM.
UM, THAT SON, UM, HE WAS, UH, VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE INSPECTION THAT DAY.
AND, UH, SHE, UM, HE HAD TOLD ME HIS NAME'S JOHN SANTOS.
HE HAD SAID THAT, UH, SHE WAS DOING MUCH BETTER EVER SINCE SHE GOT OUT OF THE PROPERTY.
UM, THERE WAS, UH, A LOT OF ANIMAL FECES.
THERE WAS A LOT OF ROACH AND FISH STATION.
UM, AND, AND FLEE INFESTATION AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTION.
SEE THE BUBBLE THERE ON THE, ON THE LEVEL.
SO THE, THE, THIS IS, UM, THE REAR STRUCTURE BACK HERE.
UM, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE FLOOR DROPS TO THAT REAR HERE, BUT THEN IN THAT BACK ROOM OVER THERE, IT'S ELEVATED.
SO IT'S SOMEWHAT OF A TWISTING FOUNDATION WHERE SOME ROOMS ARE HIGHER THAN OTHERS AND SOME IN SOME PORTIONS, THE FOUNDATION SINKS.
NOW, I'LL SAY MORE TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE, OF THE, OF THE HOUSE.
SO THE STRUCTURE, THAT'S WHERE THE SINKING IS.
UM, KIND OF, IT ALL COMES, COMING, COMING DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE STRUCTURE.
AND THIS PICTURE HERE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FLOOR JUST DROPS TO THE LEFT.
THERE YOU CAN SEE THE, THE INTERIOR, HOW IT'S BEING KEPT.
IT WAS UNSANITARY THE DAY OF THE INSPECTION.
UH, THESE ARE JUST LITTLE BAGGIES, UM, KNOWN.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN TO KEEP DRUGS IN.
STRUCTURE LOCATED AT TWO 19 PENDLETON AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12,
[01:50:02]
AND 15, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE.PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSES A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR TWO 19 PENDLETON.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? THANK YOU, SIR.
WOULD STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE, SIR? UH, MY NAME IS RAUL ORTIZ.
ADDRESS IS 5 0 0 6 CRUSADE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 8.
IF YOU WOULD PRESENT YOUR CASE.
UH, YEAH, WE BASICALLY, UH, WE, WE PURCHASED A PROPERTY FROM THE, FROM THE, THE LADY.
UH, WE DID HAVE A COUPLE ISSUES.
UM, DUE TO THE FACT WHEN WE FIRST PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY, THE, THE DAUGHTER HAD TRIED TO ILLEGALLY SELL THIS PROPERTY, UM, FROM UNDERNEATH HER, HER MOM, UH, THERE WAS TWO OTHER, UM, PEOPLE INVOLVED INTO THE TRANSACTION.
UH, ONE OF THE PEOPLE WE, ONE OF THE PERSONNEL THAT WE, THAT WE HAD ISSUES WITH, WE ACTUALLY PAID 'EM OFF.
UH, DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DIDN'T WANNA GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS OF HAVING LITIGATIONS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.
AND, AND THE SECOND GENTLEMAN, WE ALSO PAID OFF AS A FINDER'S FEE.
BASICALLY, WE LOOKED AT 'EM AS A FINDER'S FEE TO, WE ACTUALLY TURNED OVER THE DEEDED.
UH, OUR ATTORNEY HAS, UH, WE WERE TRYING TO GET THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS FILED ON THAT PAPERWORK, WHICH RIGHT NOW SHE'S, SHE'S, UH, I THINK IN CABO OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO SHE, SHE WASN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO TO GET US THE INFORMATION.
UM, BUT IF, AS YOU, IF YOU DO SEE THAT WE, AS SOON AS WE DID, WERE ABLE TO GET THE, THE DEEDED ON THE PROPERTY, WE WENT OUT THERE AND CLEANED UP.
UM, UH, WE DID CLEAN UP THE HOLE UNDERNEATH.
WE DID GET ON THERE AS FAR AS THE, ANY OF THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL, ANYTHING FIRE HAZARD.
WE DID TURN, TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL, UM, THROUGH THE OUTSIDE AND, UM, TOOK ANYTHING THAT WAS A HAZARD.
AS FAR AS THE INTERIOR, WE ARE GETTING BIDS.
UM, AS FAR AS THE, FOR SOME OF THE THINGS, JUST TO GIVE YOU A BACKGROUND ON MY ASPECT OF IT, I OWN A FOUNDATION COMPANY.
WHICH IS ALL FOUNDATION REPAIR.
I ALSO OWN ANOTHER COMPANY CALLED ALL IN CONSTRUCTION.
AND I OWN A PRO, UH, A PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
SO I'M A LICENSED REALTOR AS WELL AS WELL.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE, WE HAVE TAKEN ON IN THE PROCESS, UM, OF, TO, TO REHAB THE PROPERTY AND RENT IT OUT.
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA NEED? TO BE HONEST WITH YOU IS RIGHT NOW THE ONLY THING THAT'S KIND OF HAMPERING OUR STUFF IS A LITTLE TITLE WORK WITH THE DAUGHTER THAT WAS IN JAIL.
SO SHE JUST GOT OUT APPARENTLY, UMM, ASSUMING ABOUT LESS THAN A WEEK AGO.
SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS.
UM, AND OF COURSE SHE'S GONNA GIVE US A LITTLE HARD TIME BECAUSE SHE, SHE'S ASSUMING THAT SHE, SHE DESERVES MONEY AS WELL.
AND WE'RE JUST GETTING HER TO WRITE OFF ON IT.
BUT AS, AS ANYTHING, WE'RE STILL GOING TO KEEP CONTINUING DOING WORK ON IT.
UM, IT IT, AT THE RATE THAT IT'S GOING, WE MAY WITHIN THE NEXT THREE, THREE MONTHS ALREADY BE WELL HONEST WITH YOU.
PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET SOMEBODY IN THERE, BUT I'M GIVING MYSELF AN EXTRA MONTH.
WELL, TOTAL TIME IS 90 DAYS BOARD.
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, SIR.
THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON, UH, SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS AND I APOLOGIZE, I CAN'T READ THE, THE LAST NAME FRANK, AND I THINK IT'S MANDRILL WORKS.
SO YOU SPOKE FOR HIM? WELL, BASICALLY, YEAH.
SO BASICALLY YOU'RE ASKING FOR, UH, 90 DAYS TO DO REPAIR OF THIS STRUCTURE, BUT YOU'LL NEED TO COME BACK UP TO THIS, TO THE SPEAKER.
AS FAR AS THE FOUNDATION, WE, WE GOT OUR ENGINEER TO SAY IT'S STRUCTURALLY SOUND.
WE DO NEED TO DO SOME STABILIZATION WORK UNDERNEATH, AS YOU COULD TELL.
AND THAT'S WITH ANY, ANY PROPERTY WE LOOK AT.
ANYTHING THAT'S OVER 12 FOOT, 12 FOOT SPANS, UH, AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, WE, WE ARE GONNA DO SOME STABILIZATION.
UM, AND THEN OF COURSE THE, THE ELEVATION ASPECT, THERE'S ALWAYS A TOLERANCE LEVELS ON THAT, BUT WE WILL RECTIFY THAT WHEN WE'RE DOING THE STABILIZATION.
UH, BUT OUR MAIN DEAL, IT WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS NOT, AGAIN, A SAFETY HAZARD.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WILL BE WORKING TO, THE
[01:55:01]
FIRST TWO THINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING ON, OF COURSE, IS THE, UH, THE FOUNDATION, THE ROOF AND THE WINDOWS.UM, AS FAR AS TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPERTY IS, UM, SAFE AND ALSO SECURED.
HAVE YOU PULLED ANY PERMITS ON THIS? I HAVE NOT DONE IT BECAUSE I'M, WE'RE STILL COLLECTING THE BIDS.
AND I MEAN, WE CAN GET THOSE PERMITS PULLED TODAY OR A GC PERMIT FOR TODAY MAY BE SEATED, SIR.
UH, MR. TIZ, THERE WAS ANOTHER QUESTION THAT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE.
YOU STATED YOU'RE GOING TO BE WORKING ON THE WINDOWS, UH, AND, UH, YOU NEED AROUND 90 DAYS, YOU SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, RIGHT? 10.
WELL, WELL, ANYWAY, THE THING IS THIS, THAT, THAT WE NEED TO SECURE THIS HOUSE.
UH, AND THAT'S WHEN IT SET ABOUT THE WINDOW.
I MEAN, WE WILL NEED TO SECURE IN A MOTION WE, IF IT'S ACCEPTED, TO SECURE THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS AND THE LOCKS THERE.
I MEAN, FOR US WOULD BE PUTTING PLYWOOD ON THE, ON THE WINDOWS.
DANGEROUS PREMISE, OFFICER RAMIRO GURA.
UM, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP 'CAUSE I WENT BY THERE THIS MORNING.
THE FRONT DOOR'S, UH, WIDE OPEN.
UM, THE OTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION THAT, UM, THE DEED THEY PROVIDED, UH, IT'S NOT RECORDED, IT'S NOTARIZED, BUT NOT RECORDED.
SO JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF THAT.
AND I BELIEVE HE'S, THEY'RE WORKING ON THAT, BUT IT, THAT WHAT THEY PROVIDED, IT DOES NOT SHOW A RECORDED DATE.
I THINK HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE'S GOT PROBLEMS GETTING IT RECORDED BASED ON THE FACT THAT HE'S GOT A DAUGHTER WHO WAS THERE.
SO HE'S, HE'S GOT AN ISSUE OF GETTING A CLEAR TITLE, NUMBER ONE.
AND THEN GETTING PERMITS, NUMBER TWO.
AND THEN DOING REPAIR NUMBER THREE, ASSUMING THE BOARD WANTS TO MAKE THAT MOVE.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO ASK? VERY GOOD CHAIRMAN, MR. CHAIR, YOU DO HAVE ONE OTHER PERSON THAT WANTS TO SPEAK.
HE IS, I'LL LET HIM INTRODUCE HIMSELF.
SO MY NAME'S ORLANDO VELAZQUEZ.
UH, MY ADDRESS IS, UH, 55 0 3 RESEARCH BOULEVARD.
I'M JUST HERE ON BEHALF OF THE MORTGAGEE.
UM, I'M HERE MAINLY JUST TO, TO HAVE EARS TO THIS HEARING IN TERMS OF, UH, SEEING IF THERE'S ANY EXPOSURE TO LIABILITY FOR THE OUR CLIENT.
UM, I THINK MOST OF MY QUESTIONS WERE ALREADY ANSWERED.
I WILL, UH, DISCUSS WITH MR. ORTIZ AFTERWARDS, INTRODUCE MYSELF AND SEE HIS PLAN OF ACTION MOVING FORWARD.
UM, BUT AGAIN, WE ARE, WE'RE JUST HERE JUST TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY, UH, EXPOSURE TO, TO OUR CLIENT IN TERMS OF THE BANK AND AS MORTGAGEY OF THE PROPERTY.
SO THE, THE BANK IS YOUR CLIENT, CORRECT? YES.
UH, WHO, WHO DID YOU LOAN MONEY TO? IT'S NOT MR. ORTIZ.
IT WAS THE ORIGINAL, UH, OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

UM, AND ALSO JUST IF, IF THE OWNER IS NOT PRESENT, UH, TO REQUEST SOME TIME SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS ALL SORTED OUT, IT SOUNDS LIKE, UM, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH, WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

I'M GONNA READ THE, UH, STRUCTURED CONDITIONS FIRST AND THEN I'LL GO AHEAD AND PROCEED WITH THE PHOTOS IF THAT'S OKAY WITH THE BOARD.
THERE IS A, THIS IS A TWO-STORY COMMERCIAL
[02:05:01]
PROPERTY FOUND TO HAVE LONG-TERM DETERIORATION TOOL.MAIN MAIN COMPONENTS, THE ROOF, WALLS AND FOUNDATION.
THE FRONT SIDE OF THE BUILDING IS BRICK AND REAR.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE FRONT BRICK SIDE OF THE BUILDING HAD A PARAPET WHICH COLLAPSED ON CITY RIGHT OF WAY ON ON SIDEWALK WHERE BUS STOP IS LOCATED.
THE COLLAPSE OCCURRED ON APRIL 19TH, 2018.
THE FRONT SECTION CONSTRUCTED OF BRICK MATERIAL IS MISSING THE ENTIRE ROOF SYSTEM.
CURRENT BRAKE WALLS HAVE CRACKS AND LOOSE BRICK AT THE TOP PORTION.
THE REAR METAL ADDITION WAS FOUND TO HAVE LONG-TERM MATURATION AND SIGNS OF AGRA ARE VISIBLE PORTION OF METAL PA PANELS ARE MISSING AND WOODEN MEMBERS HAVE LONG-TERM ITERATION.
THE SLAB AND GRAY SECTION AT ADDITION HAS CRACKS AND PORTIONS HAVE LIFTED.
CONCRETE FLOOR IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE ENTERING THE STRUCTURE TO INCLUDE FIRST RESPONDERS.
THIS IS THE SITE ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE WALLS ARE DILAPIDATED AND CERTAIN SECTIONS, UM, ARE DETACHING FROM THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
A CLOSER LOOK TO THAT SIDE ELEVATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE TOP PORTION, UM, IS MISSING THE ACTUAL ROOF.
AND THERE'S LOOSE BRICK ITEMS AS WELL.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE, AGAIN, IS UH, HAS LONG-TERM DETERIORATION AND THE TOP SECTION HAS LOOSE BRICKS, LOOSE, LOOSE MATERIAL.
THIS IS THE, UH, LEFT SIDE OF THE, UH, ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE AGAIN, THERE'S LOOSE BRICKS ON TOP OF THAT WALL SECTION.
NOW THE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN VANDALIZED BEFORE BY GRAFFITI AND THAT HAS BEEN ABATED BY THE OWNER.
AND, UM, THE CITY AS WELL CLOSER LOOK TO THAT CORNER SECTION WHERE IT'S VISIBLE THAT THERE'S LOOSE BRICKS JUST SITTING ON TOP.
THIS IS THE, UH, FRONT ENTRANCE TO THAT BUILDING.
AS YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, NO ROOF.
IT HAS, UM, BEEN VANDALIZED IN THE INTERIOR.
UH, THERE'S NO FLOOR SYSTEM, SO THERE IS OVERGROWN VEGETATION INSIDE THIS PROPERTY.
AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE LOOSE BRICKS JUST SITTING ON TOP OF THOSE WALLS.
AGAIN, LOOSE BRICKS ON TOP OVERGROWN VEGETATION.
UH, SOME OF THOSE BRICKS WHEN I WERE PLACED INSIDE THE PROPERTY, THE OWNER WOULD LIKE TO REUSE THOSE.
SO HE HAS KEPT THEM INSIDE AND THIS IS HOW OVERGROWN IS.
BUT AN INTERIOR OF THE PROPERTY.
SO THE UH, BACK SECTION IS ACTUALLY BEEN ATTACHED TO THIS BUILDING.
AND THIS IS THE WALL THAT IS HOLDING UP THAT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE.
ONE OF THE ENTRYWAYS, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE CRACKS ON THOSE WALLS THROUGHOUT THEIR STEPPING REAR PORTION OF THAT ADDITION THAT WAS MADE AGAIN IS DETERIORATED.
UM, NOW IT IS METAL, SO IT'LL LAST, IT DOES LAST LONGER, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S ACTUALLY, UM, THERE ARE OPENINGS WHERE WINDOWS USED TO BE.
AND, UH, CERTAIN SECTIONS ARE DETACHING FROM THAT SIDE.
IT IS A PRETTY TALL STRUCTURE.
IT'S ACTUALLY A TWO STORY, UH, THAT WAS, UH, CONSTRUCTED IN ADDITION TO THE MAIN FRONT PORTION.
THIS IS THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE.
AND NOW PREVIOUSLY THERE WERE VAGRANTS GOING INTO THE STRUCTURE.
THE OWNER HAS SINCE THEN SECURED, UM, THIS PROPERTY TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE ENTERS.
NOW HE JUST MOVED TO HIS OFFICE JUST DOWN THE STREET IN THE 1600 BLOCK.
SO HE DOES GO THROUGH THERE AND KEEP AN EYE ON THE PROPERTY.
UM, BUT AGAIN, IT'S PRETTY DILAPIDATED IN THE INTERIOR, ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME DEBRIS INSIDE.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE PART WHERE I HAD MENTIONED SOME OF THESE, THIS METAL IS, UH, DETACHING.
UM, THOSE ARE SIGNS OF THAT HAPPENING THROUGH THE INTERIOR.
YOU SEE THE LIGHT COMING THROUGH.
AND OF COURSE, UM, THE, UH, WALL, THE WOODEN MEMBERS ARE PRETTY OLD.
UM, THERE'S WATER DAMAGE IN THE INTERIOR AS WELL.
THE ROOF SECTION, HE DID REMOVE PART OF THAT SECOND FLOOR LANDING.
UM, THE ACTUAL FLOOR SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS WATER DAMAGE THAT IT HAD, UM, EVER SINCE THEN.
UM, THE REMAINING IS, IT'S STILL IN GOOD CONDITION, UM, WHERE THE SIX BY SIX ARE AT,
[02:10:01]
OR THE EIGHT BY EIGHTS.BUT AGAIN, IT DOES HAVE SOME WATER DAMAGE AND THERE'S STILL SIGNS OF NTS THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY GONE INTO THIS PROPERTY BEFORE BEING SECURED.
NOW THE ROOF SYSTEM DOES STILL HAVE SOME, UM, WHERE AND PORTION OF IT, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE OPENINGS THROUGHOUT.
THERE'S LIGHT COMING IN THROUGH THOSE SECTIONS.
AND PORTION OF THOSE METAL SECTIONS ARE LAST REALLY BAD STORMING WIND THAT WE HAD THOSE ACTUALLY DETACHED.
BUT WE KEEP MONITORING THE PROPERTY AS MUCH AS WE CAN, UH, TO MAKE SURE NO ONE GOES IN THERE.
OF COURSE, THE BOTTOM IS ACTUALLY RESTING ON THE POORLY MADE, UM, FOUNDATION AND THERE ARE OPENINGS THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S SOME WATER DAMAGE ON THOSE THOUGHTS AS WELL.
THIS IS A FOUNDATION THAT IS ACTUALLY INSIDE THAT STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S BROKEN UP.
IT'S LIFTING AGAIN, MORE WATER DAMAGE ON SOME OF THOSE SECTIONS.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1532 EAST COMMERCE STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE, A CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTION 1, 2 5 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY, ALL CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HERE AND AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING.
ANY HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THE SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OR DILAPIDATIONS TO STANDARDIZED AROUND FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POST A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR FOR 1532 EAST COMMERCE STREET.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER UNIKA? OKAY, I'M COGNIZANT OF EFFECT OF UH, MAY AND THEN HERE IN AUGUST THE FIFTH AND AUGUST THE 19TH.
BUT, UH, HAVE ANY EFFORT BEEN, UH, MADE WITH OFFICER OF HISTORICAL PRESERVATIONS? THEY, WHAT THEY STATE IS THAT THEY TRIED TO REACH OUT TO THE OWNER, RIGHT? AND IT WASN'T RESPONSE THAT THEY GAVE IN THE PAPERWORK.
ANYBODY TRY TO SAVE THIS OR IS IT SO DEPLORABLE? YOU KNOW, SO ORIGINALLY, YES, THEY HAD ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS PROPERTY REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY WAS THE PARAPET, WHICH WAS KIND OF ONE OF THE ORIGINAL HISTORIC, UM, UM, SECTIONS OF THAT PROPERTY.
THE FRONT SECTION, THE BRICK SECTION.
SO IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FRONT, UM, OLD STYLE PARAPET THAT IT HAD AND THEY DID TRY TO SALVAGE THAT, BUT UM, SOME OF THE COMPONENTS WERE VERY OLD AND PORTION OF THAT COLLAPSED, UH, DUE TO LONG-TERM DETERIORATION WEAR AND TEAR.
SO, UM, UNFORTUNATELY THAT THAT PORTION IS GONE.
UH, THE OWNER I BELIEVE WOULD LIKE TO RESTORE IT TO ITS ORIGINAL.
HE CAN TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT.
UM, HE IS REALLY NOT PREPARED TO COME FORTH TODAY 'CAUSE HE HAD BEEN OUT OF TOWN.
UM, BUT HE DOES HAVE PLANS TO BRING IT TO HIS ORIGINAL STATE AND I BELIEVE, UM, HE HAS ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT HIS STORY TO FILL OUT THE PAPERWORK THAT IS REQUIRED TO PROCEED WITH THAT.
SO, UM, WE'RE STILL KIND OF WAITING FOR THAT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHAT MADE IT HISTORIC HAS THEN COLLAPSED.
THE FACADE HAS BEEN COLLAPSED.
UH, THE PARAPETS, THE PARAPET SECTION? YES.
UH, AND THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTIES HERE TODAY YES SIR.
HE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS ON WHAT HIS RE RESTORATION PLANS ARE JUST FOR A DECISION, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, RIGHT.
UH, BECAUSE OF MS. BROWNS, YOU KNOW, MIGHT HAVE TO RECORD.
JOE, NOT PODIA, I APOLOGIZE IF I MISPRONOUNCED THE NAME.
IF YOU WOULD PRESENT YOUR, YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
MY NAME IS MY NAME ISHO CARRIE
UM, MY ADDRESS IS 1160 EAST COMMERCE, UM, STREET.
AND SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S THE ACTUAL CALL ADDRESS YOU HAVE BECAUSE THAT I HAVE BEEN ON COMMERCE STREET AS I'VE OFFICE ON COMMERCE STREET FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS.
AND, UM, I WAS A TENANT AT THE OLD FREDERICK, UM, BUILDING 11,
[02:15:01]
UM, 1617 EAST COMMERCE STREET FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS.AND NOW I HAVE, UM, I OFFICE WITH, UM, RTA AT SUNSET STATION, WHICH IS 1160.
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WE DON'T HAVE AN ADDRESS THAT INFORMATION GOES TO THAT I DON'T RECEIVE.
SO I'VE HAD THIS BUILDING FOR 10 YEARS.
UM, IT, I OFFICED RIGHT ACROSS FROM IT AND IT'S SOMETHING I FELL IN LOVE WITH AND I, UM, MAYBE NOT WISELY THEN, YOU KNOW, HAD MY SAVINGS AND BASICALLY, UM, PURCHASED THE ENTIRE, PURCHASED THE BUILDING IN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF OR TWO YEARS WITH INTENTION OF ACTUALLY MOVING MY OFFICE TO THAT, UM, RIGHT.
SO, SO FAR I'VE PAID PROBABLY CLOSE TO, UM, 500, 600,000 ON OFFICE RENT, JUST ON COMMERCE STREET DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THIS.
I DRIVE PAST THIS ALMOST EVERY DAY.
AND, UM, FOR MANY YEARS IT'S, IT WAS, IT WAS FINE.
I, IT TURNED OUT THAT, YOU KNOW, I GOT A CALL FROM THE POLICE THAT THEY HAD SOME, UM, VAGRANTS IN THERE AND, UM, SOME HOMELESS FOLKS WHO HAD SOMEHOW, I DUNNO HOW THEY MANAGED IT, BUT THEY LITERALLY HAD FAILED THE ENTIRE, UH, SPACE WITH JUNK.
SO I'VE BASICALLY EMPTIED THAT SPACE OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL, UM, UM, STRUCTURE.
THERE'S A TON OF OTHER THINGS.
OTHER, UM, A BIT MORE OF THIS JUST ON THIS SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE THAT WAS FILLED ALSO TO THE BRI WITH OLD, UM, ARMY SUPPLY STUFF THAT I GOT RID OF.
SO THIS WAS AT, AT LEAST AS BEST AS WE COULD, WE SECURED IT AND, UM, GOT A CALL LAST YEAR AROUND APRIL THAT, UM, PART OF THIS PROPERTY THAT SHE MENTIONED, AND I HAVE SOME, I HAVE SOME ORIGINAL IMAGES HERE, HAD JUST FALLEN OFF ACTUALLY PRIOR TO THAT.
THE ROOF ITSELF, WHEN I PURCHASED IT WAS IN A POOR STATE.
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT WHETHER IT'S THIS OFFICE OR HISTORIC PRESERVATION THAT SAID I HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
SO THE, THE DECISION WAS MEANT WAS MADE TO TAKE THE ROOF DOWN TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WASN'T ANY KIND OF A, A SAFETY ISSUE TO DEAL WITH IT.
I ALSO HAD STARTED TO CONSTRUCT OR TRY TO DEVELOP THE BACK END OF IT.
A CONTRACTOR THAT I, UM, EMPLOYED THEN WENT IN THERE AND STARTED TO TRY TO GET OFF THE CEMENT AND CONCRETE PORTION OF FOUNDATION ON THE BACK END OF THAT.
AND FOR SOME STRANGE REASON, 'CAUSE OF THE DUST, HE WENT UPSTAIRS, HARDWOOD FLOOR AND MOST OF THAT STRUCTURE, EVEN TILL DATE, IS STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION INSIDE OF IT.
AND I MUST APOLOGIZE THOUGH BECAUSE I, I, THE PHOTOGRAPHS THERE MAKES, MAKES IT LOOK LIKE A JUNGLE.
IT DOESN'T LOOK ANYWHERE LIKE THAT AT ALL, UM, RIGHT NOW.
BUT GOING IN THERE, HE ACTUALLY MADE THIS HOLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR JUST SO THAT HE COULD SOMEHOW BEAR THE, UM, THE DUST ISSUE.
SO THAT JUST SPOOKED ME AND I DECIDED THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M JUST HAVE TO GET SOME PROFESSIONALS HERE TO, AND GET SOME REAL, UM, UM, BEADS HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS THING WAS EXACTLY HOW I THOUGHT IT COULD BE.
I WANT TO KEEP THE EXACT FRAME OF THIS BUILDING.
I REALIZED THAT THE BRICKS AND, UH, THE, UH, AND THE REST OF IT IS OBVIOUSLY, UM, NOT AS, UH, SECURE AS IT COULD, AS IT COULD BE, BUT I JUST WANT TO KEEP THE FACADE, JUST KEEP THE REST OF IT AND ALMOST LIKE BUILD WITHIN THE STRUCTURE SO THAT IT'S, THE BRICK IS JUST ESSENTIALLY JUST THERE TO SHOW, TO SHOW SOME OF THE, UM, YOU KNOW, ORIGINAL, UH, CHARACTERISTICS, YOU KNOW, SO I, AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH AND THAT'S WHAT LAST YEAR, THAT TOP PORTION OF IT FELL OFF.
I GOT A CALL FROM THIS OFFICE, UM, FROM THE OFFICE, UM, SORRY, THE, UH, DEPARTMENT AND I GOT A CONTRACTOR TO TAKE AS MUCH BRICK OFF AND SECURED WITHIN THE BUILDING, UH, AS POSSIBLE FOR SAFETY REASONS.
WE HAD A FEW BRICKS FALL OFF, UM, AND I HAD TO BASICALLY, UH, TAKE OFF MAYBE, UH, THREE OR FOUR FEET OF IT.
SO THE INTENTION HERE IS THIS, I HAVE, I HAVE PLANS THAT I'VE WORKED ON
[02:20:01]
WITH ARCHITECTS.I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE HISTORIC, UH, PRESERVATION OFFICE FOR QUITE A WHILE.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT, UH, I WAS DEALING WITH TWO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
I FILLED OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM I WAS ABOUT TO PULL PER, UM, MY INTENTION WAS TO PULL PERMITS AND THEY SAID THAT I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE FIRST PRIOR TO ACTUALLY, UH, CONTINUING WITH THEM.
SO, UM, THERE WAS NEVER ANY, UM, THERE WAS ANY, THERE WAS NEVER ANY, UH, ATTEMPT TO, UM, THERE WAS NEVER ANY DELAY ON THE, UH, HISTORIC PRESERVATION SIDE.
I NEED AS MUCH HELP AS I CAN AND OBVIOUSLY THE EXPERTISE AS WELL.
SO MY INTENTION WAS TO GET IT REGISTERED, PUT A ROOF ON THIS BRACE, THE BRICK PORTION OF THE BUILDING.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT GONNA BE THE SAME AS IT ORIGINALLY WAS, BUT THERE, UM, MODELS ON THAT STREET WITH, WITH THE IDEA BUILDING THAT HAS A BRICK AND METAL STRUCTURE, WE CAN ACTUALLY, UM, GET THIS DONE.
MY INTENTION IS TO HAVE THAT FRONT SPACE THERE, OFFICE THERE, AND BUILD OVER THE ROOF AND HAVE AN APARTMENT UP THERE.
I'M ASKING THE BOARD HERE IF I CAN HAVE, UM, ABOUT 30 DAYS OR SO TO PRESENT, UM, TO PRESENT INFORMATION, UM, THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD, UH, SHOW MY ABILITY TO ACTUALLY GET THAT BUILDING SECURE, HAVE THE ROOF IN THERE, HAVE THE FOUNDATION, MAKE SURE THAT, UH, ALL THE ENTRY, UM, ANY, ANY LOOSE, UM, BITS OF METAL IS ALL SECURED.
UM, I NEED ABOUT 30 DAYS IN THERE.
WHAT I HAVE NOW IS JUST THE ORIGINAL PLANS TO ACTUALLY BUILD ON IT.
THAT HAS CHANGED BECAUSE THE, THE ENTIRE SHAPE OF THE BUILDING HAS CHANGED.
DID, DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH YOU ON FINANCIAL ABILITY TO SHOW OR TO MAKE THE REPAIRS OR TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR.
UM, I'M, I'M TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT, SEE, I, I REALLY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS JUST MEANT TO SECURE THE BUILDING OR KEEP IT, YOU KNOW, I FELT THAT IT WAS A FULL BLOWN OUT DEVELOPMENT THAT WAS BEING ASKED FOR.
SO I WENT FOR THAT KIND OF BIT, YES.
BUT I HAVE, I HAVE ENOUGH PERSONALLY, PERSONALLY, TO PUT A ROOF AND, AND HAVE A FOUNDATION ON THE BRICK SIDE.
BUT, BUT DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN WRITING TO SHOW US THAT INFORMATION? NO, UH, I, I HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU'VE OWNED THE BUILDING FOR 10 YEARS OR ABOUT 10 YEARS, ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THAT.
IN FACT, IT'S, IT'S A YEAR AND A HALF.
I MEAN, 10 YEARS AND A HALF, OR MOST OF IT'S ACTUALLY 11 YEARS IN TOTAL.
AND YET WE'RE, WE'RE LOOKING AT A BUILDING THAT HAS CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME.
AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY IF, IF WE WERE TO HAVE SEVERE WINDS, THE METAL THAT'S ON THAT, UH, BACK PORTION OF THE BUILDING CREATES AN EXTREME HEALTH HAZARD OR SAFETY HAZARD ON IT.
UH, THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE REALLY, UM, I MEAN I'VE, I'VE NEVER HAD A SITUATION WHERE IT GET, THOSE ARE WINDOWS, YOU SEE THAT THEY'RE SHOT AND THEY'VE NEVER, EVER BEEN FROM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ORIGINALS, THEY'VE NEVER, EVER BEEN, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT I FEEL THAT I CAN EASILY SECURE IN A WEEK OR SO, AND IF NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, IF THAT'S AN ISSUE FOR THE METAL, FOR THE METAL SIDE, BUT I DON'T, I DON'T, I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING.
BUT IF THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE, UM, THE BOARD REQUIRES I CAN GET THAT DONE.
I, YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR A LONG TIME.
AND I, I KNOW WHEN YOU BOUGHT THIS BUILDING, AND I'M GONNA TRY TO BE AS GENTLE AS I CAN RIGHT NOW.
BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PERFECT CASE OF, UH, NEGLECT, DEMOLITION BY NEGLECT.
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE FAILED TO PUT ANYTHING INTO THIS BUILDING SINCE YOU BOUGHT IT.
AND NOW THE FACADE IS, IS BROKEN OFF THE BEAUTIFUL FACADE, BECAUSE THAT USED TO BE SOMETHING LIKE THE ELECTRIC COMPANY, I BELIEVE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, ELECTRIC, ELECTRIC MATTRESS.
AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FACADE, AND NOW IT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED FOR 10 YEARS THAT YOU'VE OWNED IT AND YOU HAVEN'T, YOU HAVE FAILED TO PUT ANYTHING IN IT.
WELL, MS. BROWN, MS. BROWN PUT, I'VE PUT AT LEAST CLOSE TO 20,000 IN THAT BUILDING, BUT YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.
I, EVERY SINGLE TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS, I HAVE TO SORT OF ALMOST DEMO IT MYSELF BECAUSE OF THIS KIND OF A SITUATION.
SO I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU.
I DON'T, I HAVEN'T PUT ANYTHING IN THERE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN, WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS, THIS CASE RIGHT HERE, I'VE PUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND, ACTUALLY, THAT'S WHAT IT CALLED.
WELL, THIS CASE TODAY IS UP FOR DEMOLITION BY US, THE FOUR OF US.
AND WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND THERE'S, THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
[02:25:01]
HERE TO PRESERVE.YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, AND YOU'RE ASKING US FOR 30 MORE DAYS.
I, I FEEL VERY OFFENDED BY THAT ALMOST, YOU KNOW, AND I, AND I DON'T SAY THIS HARSHLY TO YOU BECAUSE I KNOW YOU, IT IS HARSH.
I, I'M, I'M REALLY SORRY, BUT I JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, UM, IT'S REALLY SAD TO SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING THAT WAS THERE, AND NOW IT IS JUST BY NEGLECT, YOU KNOW, DEMOLITION, MS. MS. BROWN, I, AND I RESPECTFULLY JUST, I JUST WANNA SAY THIS 'CAUSE I, I, I KNOW THAT YOU, YOU'VE BEEN PART OF THE COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME, AND I CAN IMAGINE HOW THE SIGHT OF THIS WILL BOTHER YOU.
I, I, I RESPECT THAT, BUT I DON'T THINK YOUR HURT IS ANYWHERE CLOSE TO ME SEEING MY OWN BUILDING THAT I'VE SUNK A LOT OF MY LIFE SAVINGS THAT I'VE SUFFERED FOR DETERIORATE LIKE THAT AS WELL.
SO IT'S NOT BECAUSE I DRIVE PAST IT, I'M JOYOUS BECAUSE THIS KIND OF SITUATION IS HAPPENING, BUT EVEN NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO, THIS IS A PLACE I WANT TO MOVE IN AND LEAVING.
I BELIEVED IN THIS PROPERTY BEF WHEN HE WAS, HE'S BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS AND NO, HE'S BEEN THERE FOR 30 YEARS.
NOBODY'S EVER BEEN IN THERE, BUT, BUT YOU DON'T, YOU DIDN'T BRING A PLAN IN TO DETERMINE WHAT MR. HOLD ON.
LET, LET, LET'S GO AHEAD AND GO BACK TO, UH, WHAT THE AGENDA THAT WE HAVE HERE OF, UH, THE CHARGE OF DEMOLISHING THIS BUILDING ARE NOT TO DEMOLISH IT AND REPAIR IT, AND WE CAN KEEP OUR DIRECTION AND ADDRESS ONLY THAT.
YOU DIDN'T BRING IN A SCOPE OF WORK TO, TO REPAIR IT AND NOR THE FINANCIAL MEANS OR AN ENGINEER'S REPORTING ANYTHING TODAY.
SO THE ONLY THING THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US IS THE DEMOLITION.
I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU.
I, I, I FILLED OUT, I FILLED OUT, UM, AN APPLICATION WITH THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION WHERE I SHOWED THE SCOPE OF WORK WHERE, UM, I, I, I BASICALLY GAVE THE SAME SORT OF INFORMATION AS REQUIRED NOW.
AND, UM, I HAVE BEEN TOLD HERE THAT, THAT BEING SUFFICE, THAT I HAD TO BASICALLY WORK ON TOTALLY DIFFERENT SET.
WHAT I HAVE IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO HERE AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE TACK RATHER THAN PROVIDE SOMETHING THAT COMPLETELY SHOWS WHAT I'M THE ENTIRETY OF WHAT I I'M WAS PLANNING TO DO.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A ROOF ON THAT BUILDING, SECURE IT, HAVE A FOUNDATION ON THIS PORTION OF IT RIGHT NOW.
AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT MY, MY AIM IS TO MAYBE HAVE A NINE, MAYBE NINE MONTHS, OR, YOU KNOW, 180 DAYS ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO MOVE IN HERE AS WELL.
SO IT MIGHT BE, IT MIGHT BE 10 YEARS OR SO, BUT EVERY YEAR, THAT'S BEEN MY AMBITION, RATHER THAN PAY WHAT I PAY NOW, $3,000 A MONTH IN RENT.
THERE'S A POINT OF ORDER IN, IN THE DISCUSSION.
THE, THE BOARD ACTUALLY HAS TO SEE, OBVIOUSLY THREE THINGS ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE.
ONE IS, UH, WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF WORK, WHAT'S THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY FOR THAT SCOPE OF WORK AND HOW MUCH TIME IS NECESSARY? AND AS A RESULT OF NOT HAVING ANY OF THAT INFORMATION, THE BOARD CAN'T REALLY MAKE, UH, ANY OTHER DECISION ITSELF.
I'M ASKING FOR LIKE, UNLESS YOU'VE GOT, I'M ASKING FOR LIKE MAYBE TWO WEEKS, JUST SO TO PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION.
THAT'S ALL I I'M GOING TO, TO LET IT GO TO MOTION, UH, BECAUSE THERE'S INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION THAT I'VE GOT.
UH, SO, UH, WITH THAT, I, UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING REAL SPECIFIC TO PROVIDE TO US, UH, I'LL ASK YOU TO BE SEATED AND CHAIR WOULD
YES, I, I I JUST WANT TO AGAIN SAY THIS, THAT I'VE PAID ALMOST $500,000 MAYBE MORE IN RENTING ON COMMERCE STREET AND TWO PROPERTIES VERY CLOSE TO THIS.
AND I JUST NEED YOU TO PROVIDE ME ENOUGH TIME TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION THAT'S REQUIRED TO KEEP THIS BUILDING THE WAY IT IS, AND I CAN ACTUALLY GET IT AS, AS CLOSE TO WHAT HIS FORMER GLORY WAS.
I MOVE, I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY AT 1 5 3 2 COMMERCE STREET E LEGAL DESCRIPTION, N C B 5 99, BLOCK EIGHT, LOT NINE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE THAT'S DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6 1 6 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15,
[02:30:01]
AND 70.AND THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT FEASIBLE, UH, BEING REPAIRED IN ORDER THAT THE PROPERTY BE, BE DEMOLISHED WAS 30 DAYS OF THIS HEARING IN A MOTION.
MOTION IS FOR A 30 DAY DEMOLITION AS A RESULT OF SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? UH, THERE'S NO SECOND.
THEREFORE, UH, THAT MOTION, DO I HAVE AN ALTERNATE MOTION? I MOVE THAT WE GIVE HIM 14 DAYS TO COME UP WITH THE DOCUMENTS.
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME AND I UNDERSTAND THAT HE'S BEEN HOLDING THE BUILDING A LONG TIME, BUT, UH, I FEEL LIKE IT'S AN IMPORTANT BUILDING TO THE AREA OF TOWN THAT IT'S IN, AND I FEEL LIKE IF IN 14 DAYS HE CAN COME UP WITH THE SCOPE OF WORK, THE FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY, AND THE TIMEFRAME TO GET THE BUILDING SAFE, UM, I'D LIKE TO GIVE HIM THAT OPPORTUNITY.
WOULD 14 DAYS BE ENOUGH FOR HIM? HE ASKED FOR 30 DAYS.
I'VE, I'VE ACTUALLY SET OUT FOR THE ENGINEERS, UM, BEADS AND ALL OF THAT IN THE LAST, SINCE I RECEIVED YOUR, THE NOTICE HERE.
SO I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE SAFE AND ASK FOR 30.
I IMAGINE THAT A COUPLE OF WEEKS SHOULD BE OKAY, SO BASICALLY IT'S TWO WEEKS.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR A RESET AND, AND AS A RESULT OF THE RESET, THEN WE'LL HAVE TO GO WITH, WITH WHAT THE CITY HAS A AVAILABLE IN TERMS OF THE NEXT, UH, AVAILABLE DATE.
YEAH, THAT'S, SO IT WILL JUST BE A RESET PERIOD WITH NO DATE SPECIFIED, RESET TO THE EARLIEST AVAILABLE TIME.
THE MOTION IS TO RESET THIS CASE.
UH, DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND MOTION BE MADE.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TO RESET.
I, I CANNOT REALLY VOTE FOR THIS.
UH, IT IS BEYOND, YOU KNOW, REPAIR WITH THE BRICKS FALLING OFF.
UH, THERE IS THE PEDESTRIANS THERE, IT'S RIGHT NEAR THE SIDEWALK BUS STOP.
AND, UH, LOOKING, YOU KNOW, AT, AT THE BACK PART OF IT, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS PRETTY BAD FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW, IN MY OPINION.
THEREFORE, I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR IT REGARDLESS.
BASICALLY, THE, THE VOTE IS GOING TO BE 3.0 TO RESET, UH, BUT I WOULD'VE VOTED FOR DEMOLITION, JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT, UH, FRONT, UH, YOU DO NOT NEED TO COME BACK UP.
I'M, I'M JUST MAKING A PROFOUND STATEMENT HERE.
UH, THE REASON WHY I WOULD'VE VOTED FOR DEMOLITION IS BECAUSE, UH, YOU'VE OWNED THE PROPERTY FOR 10 YEARS.
YOU DID NOT BRING SUFFICIENT INFORMATION IN.
THIS REALLY IS A HEALTH HAZARD OR SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE, IT'S, UH, STRUCTURE.
BUT I'M WILLING TO AT LEAST GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP WITH A PLAN OF ACTION.
AND THAT PLAN OF ACTION IS GONNA BE A SCOPE OF WORK ON WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
THE FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS IS GONNA BE, HAVE TO BE PROVED.
AND THEN AGAIN, HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU GONNA NEED TO MAKE ALL THOSE REPAIRS? UH, AND IF I WERE SITTING ON THE BOARD, I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THE REPAIRS HAVE GOTTA BE DONE PRETTY QUICK BECAUSE A BUILDING WITHOUT A ROOF ON IT MAKES IT REAL EASY FOR IT TO, TO GO DOWN.
AS I TOLD YOU, THE SHEET METAL ON IT CONCERNS ME GREATLY.
UH, THIS CASE WILL BE RESET, UH, AS A RESULT OF A THREE TO ONE VOTE.
UH, SO WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT CASE.
[1. 19-6439 (CD-7) 5722 Timber Bend]
GOOD MORNING.FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS DALE RUSSELL, CODE ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR WITH THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT TEAM.

AND AGAIN, ISSUES TO THE, EXCUSE ME AND ISSUES TO THE, TO THE ROOF HAS BEEN FOUND.
THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE HAS SUNK INTO THE GROUND.
THE WINDOWS, YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH TOUCHING THE, UM, GRADE DUE TO THE SINKING IMPROPER, UM, REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE ROOF SECTION.
UH, THEY PRETTY MUCH PUT NEW, UM, ROOF MATERIAL ON TOP OF THE OLD ROOF MATERIAL, ADDING WEIGHT TO THAT STRUCTURE, MAKING A SINK EVEN FURTHER.
THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS A UPDATION ON THE ROOF AND THE WALLS AS WELL.
SOME OF THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN COVERED AND, UM, THEY PLACED PLASTIC ON PORTION OF THAT ROOF SECTION TO COVER SOME OF THE WATER, UH, FROM ENTERING RE ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE AS WELL.
PRETTY DILAPIDATED, INCLUDING THE WALLS, SIDING AND THE ADDITION, UM, THAT WAS MADE TO THAT MAIN STRUCTURE, UM, IS ACTUALLY PRETTY DETERIORATED AS WELL CLOSER LOOK TO THAT ADDITION.
AND THERE ARE SOME WOODEN MEMBERS THAT HAVE COLLAPSED AND DETACHED FROM THOSE, UM, STRUCTURE ITSELF.
THIS IS GOING IN THE PORSCHE AREA.
GOING INTO THE STRUCTURE, COMING INTO THE STRUCTURE, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE HOLES ON THE ROOF, I'M SORRY, ON THE CEILING DUE TO WATER DAMAGE AND LONG-TERM DETERIORATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE WATER SPOTS THROUGHOUT ARE PRETTY NOTICEABLE.
THEY DID PLACE SOME BOARDS ON THE, ON THE CEILING THEMSELVES JUST TO MAKE, PUT SOME COVER FOR THE WATER, DAMAGE FOR WATER, EXCUSE ME, FROM WATER ENTERING THE PROPERTY NOW AS YOU WALK IN.
BECAUSE OF THAT, UM, PROPERTY SINKING INTO THE FOUNDATION, WHAT THEY DID IS, UM, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY REMOVED SOME OF THE BEAMS AND THEY ACTUALLY JUST PUT PLYWOOD, ANOTHER MATERIAL TO BE ABLE TO WALK ON.
AND THAT MATERIAL IT HAS PRETTY BAD, IT'S PRETTY BADLY DAMAGED AS WELL.
SO THEY MADE SOME REPAIRS TO THE ROOF SECTION AND IN THE INTERIOR THEY WENT AHEAD AND JUST PUT CARDBOARD, UH, FOR I BELIEVE FROM SOME OF THOSE ITEMS TO BE COVERED, SOME OF THE WATER MEMBERS TO BE COVERED.
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE.
THEY PUT SOME, UM, THEY PUT SOME, UH, WHAT DO THEY CALL 'EM, SKYLIGHTS, SOME OLD, OLD TYPE SKYLIGHTS THAT WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED.
AND THERE ACTUALLY, THERE'S WATER COMING IN AROUND THEM DUE TO THE PROPER INSTALLATION.
AS YOU CAN SEE, MOST OF THE MATERIAL IS FALLING THROUGH DUE TO WATER DAMAGE.
AND THERE'S ACTUALLY A COUPLE OF SKYLIGHTS THAT WERE PLACED, UH, IN THE, IN THE SAME MANNER.
THERE'S ANOTHER SKYLIGHT AGAIN, THERE'S
[02:55:01]
DAMAGE, WATER DAMAGE COMING IN, WATER COMING IN AROUND THEM DUE TO IT BEING INSTALLED.I PROPERLY, AND AGAIN, MORE CARDBOARD BEING PLACED, UM, TO COVER SOME OF THOSE SECTIONS.
ANOTHER SKYLIGHT, SAME ISSUES IN THIS PLACE.
THEY ACTUALLY, INSTEAD OF CARDBOARD, THEY PLACED PLASTIC.
UM, BUT THAT WATER ALSO CAME IN, UM, THROUGH THE WALLS CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE TO MOST OF THOSE SECTIONS.
THERE ARE ELECTRICAL ISSUES, UH, THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE AS WELL.
THERE'S CARPET, THERE'S, UH, PLASTIC, A VINYL COVERING AS WELL, JUST SO THEY COULD BE ABLE TO WALK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE SECTIONS.
AND AGAIN, THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE THROUGHOUT, INCLUDING THE RESTROOM OR THE MAKESHIFT RESTROOM.
UH, SOME IMPROPER WIRE WIRING WAS DONE FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
ANOTHER WALKING SURFACE, SAME ISSUES WHERE THE, UH, ACTUALLY THE STRUCTURE, UM, CAVE DOWN AND THEY JUST, UH, ADDED MATERIAL JUST SO THEY COULD BE ABLE TO, TO USE AS A WALKING SURFACE.
THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF ITEMS THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY, SO I WASN'T ABLE TO COMPLETE MY, UH, UM, MY INSPECTION ON SOME OF THESE AREAS.
GOING INTO THE ACCESSORY IS A MAKESHIFT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT HAS, UH, ISSUES AGAIN TO THE ROOF.
AND THEN SOME OF THE POSTS THAT WERE PLACED, UH, IS, SO THERE'S SO MUCH ITEMS ON THIS PROPERTY THAT YOU, ON SOME SECTIONS YOU CANNOT WALK INTO OR SEE, BUT IT'S OBVIOUS THAT, UM, IT'S, UH, SUBSTANDARD.
NOW, RECENTLY ON MY FIRST INSPECTION, THERE WERE NO, THERE WAS SOME TRASH AND OVERGROWTH, BUT NOT AS, BUT THERE WAS NO DUMPING.
UH, THIS, MY LAST INSPECTION THERE WHERE I MET THE, UH, OWNER, MS. VERA, WHO ALLOWED ME INTO THE PROPERTY.
SHE, UH, POINTED OUT THAT SOMEONE HAD DUMPED IN HER PROPERTY AND SHE BELIEVES IT WAS A FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAD ACCESS AND A KEY TO THE GATE.
SO ALL THESE ITEMS THAT ARE HERE WERE ACTUALLY DUMPED.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF DUMPING THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY NOW AND SOME SECTIONS YOU CAN'T EVEN WALK THROUGH.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S NO WAY THAT I COULD APPROACH FOR A PROPER INSPECTION, UM, TO THESE SECTIONS.
AND, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF, THERE'S PILES AND PILES OF TRASH IN THE DEBRIS THROUGHOUT THE, THIS PROPERTY ITSELF.
I COULDN'T EVEN, UH, WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE SECTIONS TO TAKE PROPER PHOTOS, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S JUST A MAKESHIFT STRUCTURE THAT HAS PANELING AND OTHER TYPE OF MATERIALS TO CONSTRUCT IT.
THE SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL HOME WAS FOUND WITH ISSUES 2 0 3 MAIN COMPONENTS OF A STRUCTURE, ROOF, FALLS AND FOUNDATION.
THE ROOF SYSTEM IS WORN, HAS LONG-TERM DETERIORATION AND HAS HOLES.
THE WALLS ARE BUCKLING AND BOTTOM PLATE IS RESTING ON GRADE.
ALL WOODEN COMPONENTS HAVE LONG-TERM DETERIORATION.
THE FOUNDATION HAS SUNK INTO GROUND MAKING, MAKING AND NONEXISTING.
THE MAKESHIFT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS THE NEED OF MAJOR REPAIRS.
THE MAKESHIFT COVERED AREA REQUIRES MAJOR REPAIRS TO ROOF AND SUPPORTING POST COVER AREA HAS STORAGE VISIBLE TO THE ENTIRE TO THE PUBLIC TO INCLUDE TRASH, RUBBISH DEBRIS AND OTHER ITEMS. SEEMS THAT THE FENCE COVERED SECTION WAS USED RECENTLY FOR DUMPING GROUNDS.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 2 0 1 WOULD BE AS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTION 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, AND 15 FOR MAIN STRUCTURE AND 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, AND 15 FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY, ALL THE, THE CONDITIONS ALREADY FIXED HERE AND AFTER THIS CRASH SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH.
SAFETY AND WELFARE PROVIDED THE SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECT OF THE LAB CONDITIONS, SU SUBSTANDARD OR FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION WAS A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION FOR BOTH MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THIS CONCLUSIVE PRESENTATION FOR 2 0 1 WOULD BE, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER? THE PROPERTY YOU HAVE MARKED DOWN AS OCCUPIED, SO IS THERE SOMEBODY LIVING THERE NOW? NO, THERE IS NOT.
SHE, MS. VEDA SINCE THEN, UM, HAS MOVED OUT, IS, UH, RESIDING WITH A FRIEND AND, UH, SHE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE PROPERTY, BUT SHE KNOWS IT'S NOT FEASIBLE FOR REPAIRS.
OKAY, UH, I MOVE THAT THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AT 2 0 1 WOULD BE ARE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTIONS FOR BOTH THE MAIN AND THE ACCESSORY 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, AND 15.
AND FOR THE REASON STATED BY THE CODE OFFICER IS BEYOND FEASIBILITY OF REPAIR AND ORDER THAT
[03:00:01]
BOTH THE MAIN ACCESSORY STRUCTURES BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS AND REMAIN VACANT UNTIL THEN.MOTION BEEN MADE AND SECONDED TO DEMO 2 0 1 WOULD BE, UH, IN 30 DAYS AS A RESULT OF SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 8, 12 15 FOR BOTH THE MAIN AND ACCESSORIES.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.
UH, WE'LL MOVE INTO ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES.
ONE OF THE FIRST ONES WOULD BE A PROPOSED ADDITIONAL MEETING DATES OF OCTOBER THE 24TH AND NOVEMBER THE 21ST.
SO IF YOU WOULD WRITE THOSE DATES DOWN AND TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE FOR IT.
THE SECOND ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUE IS, UH, A CONTINUATION OF THE DISCUSSION ON OUR MEETING WITH THE, UH, MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL IN B AND I THINK THE QUESTION WAS HOW DO WE GET ON THE B SECTION? SO DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW WE GET ON THE B SESSION AGENDA? I, I, THIS IS ERIC BURNS LEGAL.
I DO NOT KNOW, BUT I COULD FIND OUT FOR YOU.
I COULD TRY TO, TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET ON B SESSION.
JENNY, DO YOU KNOW, OR JUDY? I'M, I'M NOT QUITE SURE.
WE'LL LEAVE IT TO THE CITY STAFF TO INQUIRE ON THAT AND I'LL GO TO THE COUNCIL OFFICE AND ALSO INQUIRE TO SEE HOW WE DO THAT.
AND WE WILL TRY TO DO THAT, UH, WITH A DATE THAT THE TWO OF US ARE, ARE GONNA BE AVAILABLE THEN.
YOU CAN GO AHEAD IF YOU WANT TO.
