GENERAL, EVERY SCENE, COLLABORATORY, BATHTUB, OR SHOWER, DRINKING FOUNTAIN, TOILET OR OTHER PLUMBING FIXTURES SHALL BE PROPERLY CONNECTED TO EITHER A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM OR TO AN APPROVED PRIVATE WATER SYSTEM.
INITIAL INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON MAY 15TH, 2019, FOUND THE PROPERTY TO BE WITHOUT WATER SERVICES ALONG WITH OTHER S A P M C VIOLATIONS THAT ARE NOW IN COMPLIANCE.
FOREST GUIDE WAS POSTED AT THE PROPERTY FOR ASSISTANCE.
WE FOLLOWED UP ON JUNE 20TH, 2019 WHERE WE, WE FOUND THE PROPERTY TO STILL REMAIN WITHOUT WATER SERVICES.
WE DID HAVE CONTACT WITH THE TENANT, NICHOLAS ANO AND PROVIDED ANOTHER COMMUNITY REFERRAL GUIDE, UH, FOR ASSISTANCE FOR RECONNECTION OF WATER SERVICES WHERE THE METER IS STILL INTACT, BUT VERIFIED THROUGH SAN ANTONIO WATER SYSTEM THAT THE SERVICES HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2019.
WE RETURNED ON JULY 26TH, 2019, FOUND THE PROPERTY TO STILL REMAIN WITHOUT WATER SERVICES DOOR HANGER NOTIFYING OCCUPANT THAT OCCUPIED STRUCTURES CANNOT BE OCCUPIED WITHOUT WATER SERVICES.

SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2019, WE RETURNED TO THE LOCATION SHOWING THE PROPERTY STILL REMAIN WITHOUT WATER SERVICES.
STAFF IS REQUESTING THAT THE ORDER TO VACATE BE ENFORCED AND THAT THE PROPERTY REMAIN VACANT UNTIL WATER WATER SERVICES ARE RESTORED.
THIS DOES CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? I GOT ONE.
ON YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE CASE, YOU ONLY HAVE RESTORE WATER SERVICES, NOT VACATE.
SO NOW YOU'RE ASKING TO AMEND THE RECORD.
UH, AMEND THE RECORD, YES, SIR.
BECAUSE THE, THE ORDER WAS POSTED AT THE PROPERTY, WE ARE ASKING THAT, THAT ORDER TO BE ENFORCED.
UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE DO HAVE A SIGN ON THE SIGNUP SHEET.

SO LET ME ASK LEGAL A QUESTION.
SO ULTIMATELY, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A, A TENANT, IS THE PROPERTY OWNER
[00:10:01]
STILL LIABLE FOR THE RENT? I MEAN FOR THE WATER BILL? BECAUSE IF HE, IF HE GETS ANOTHER TENANT, THE BILL IS GONNA HAVE TO BE PAID.SO IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL STILL FALL ON THE PROPERTY OWNER.
MRS. BROWN, I CAN ANSWER THAT.
UM, OUR STANDARD IN THE WAY THE SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY CODE MAINTENANCE IS WRITTEN IS THAT THE OWNER SHALL NOT HAVE ANYBODY RESIDING AT THE PROPERTY WITHOUT WATER.
SO IT'S NOT THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE WATER, BUT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYBODY RESIDING AT THE PROPERTY IF THERE IS NO WANDER.
SO, SO IS THAT SAYING THAT IF HE GETS ANOTHER TENANT IN THERE, HE'S STILL GONNA HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BILL OR SOMEBODY? HE CAN'T GET IT FOR ME TO SPECULATE ON THAT, WOULD I? I I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S, UH, WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THIS, UM, BOARD.
I WOULD URGE THE BOARD TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S A VIOLATION AND IF SO, UH, TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT VIOLATION IS NO LONGER OR IS NO LONGER THERE OR IT'S ABATED.
UM, IN REGARDS TO WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ABILITY TO DEPEND ON WHATEVER, UH, CONTRACTOR OR AGREEMENT THAT, UH, THOSE TWO PRIVATE PARTIES WOULD HAVE.
UM, WELL, DO WE HAVE A MOTION THEN? I MOVE THAT THE BOARD FIND THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2 2 6 SHASTA AVENUE TO BE IN VIOLATION OF SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE 5 0 1 0.1, EXCUSE ME.
5 0 5 POINT GENERAL, AND THAT THE PROPERTY BE VACATED IMMEDIATELY UNTIL WATER SERVICE IS RESTORED AND IT STAY VACANT UNTIL THAT WATER SERVICE IS RESTORED.
WE HAVE A MOTION FOR, UM, FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE VACATED BY MR. UM, YEAH, MR. NELSON.
AND THAT THE, UH, PROPERTY STAY VACANT UNTIL I GUESS SOME REMEDY IS FOUND BETWEEN, UH, THE, I GUESS THE NEW TENANT OR, AND THE OWNER.
AND, UH, WE HAVE A SECOND BY MR. ZUNIGA.

OUR NEXT CASE.[00:25:02]
GOOD MORNING FOR THE RECORD.MY NAME IS RITA BIGLER, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 2 33 EAST CRAIG PLACE WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF DEMOLITION WITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX.

THE OWNER ON RECORD IS CALDERONI REAL ESTATE, L L C WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF PO BOX 1 5 8 2 4, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 2.
ALL NOTICES OF HEARING WERE PROPERLY ISSUED AS REQUIRED.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS NOT PRESENT TO DATE AS A BOARD WISH TO PROCEED.
THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON OCTOBER, 2015 FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE, UH, POTENTIAL THAT THE STRUCTURE WAS POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK HISTORIC DESIGNATION DUE TO HISTORIC CULTURAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WAS REVIEWED ON APRIL, 2019 AND THE SAME OUTCOME, UH, RECOMMENDATION FROM THE HISTORIC DEPARTMENT IS, I'M SORRY FOR THE HISTORIC STRUCTURE IS, UH, FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS FOR THE, UH, I'M SORRY, I'M, I'M MESSING UP.
THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WAS REVIEWED BY O H P ON APRIL, 2019, AND THEY HAVE THE SAME RECOMMENDATION FOR THE MAIN, AS THEY DO FOR THE ACCESSORY.
O H P DID ARRANGE, UH, AN ONSITE MEETING TO EVALUATE THE STRUCTURE ON MAY 1ST, 2019.
THE, THE PROPERTY, UH, WAS REVIEWED AND WAS APPROVED FOR DEMOLITION FOR THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ON AUGUST 30TH, 2019.
THE NOTICE FOR A B S B HEARING WAS MAILED TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES.
THE INITIAL NOTICE OR INSPECTION REGARDING, UH, THIS PROPERTY WAS ON AUGUST 11TH, 2014.
THIS CASE WAS BEING HANDLED BY, UH, ANOTHER DP OFFICER THAT WE DID HAVE MARIA MORA.
UM, AND SINCE THEN I HAVE STEPPED IN AND, AND OTHER OFFICERS HAVE TAKEN OVER AND, AND THE END RESULT IS ENDING HERE WITH ME.
UM, THE, THE OWNER HAS NOT PROVIDED A SCOPE OF WORK, FINANCIAL PROOF LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT.
I DID PROVIDE, UH, DOCUMENTS TO THE OWNER, UH, BY EMAIL.
UM, HE, WHEN I DID CALL HIM AND SPEAK TO HIM, HE DID NOT WANNA SPEAK TO ME ABOUT THIS CASE.
SO, UM, I DID PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO HIM BY EMAIL AND I DID INFORM HIM OF TODAY'S MEETING.
UH, AS OF YESTERDAY, THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE.
THERE IS A SCHOOL WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET.
AND, UH, I'M GONNA GO OVER A LITTLE BIT OF THE HISTORY.
UM, I'M, I'M SURE YOU GUYS HAVE A LIST OF IT IN FRONT OF YOU, BUT I'M GONNA SHORTEN IT UP.
UM, OUR FIRST, UH, B S V MEETING WAS FOR, UH, FEBRUARY 26TH, 2015.
THAT WAS PULLED FROM THE AGENDA THAT DAY.
WE HAD A SECOND B S B MEETING FOR AUGUST 27TH, 2015.
THE BOARD ORDERED 60 DAYS TO REPAIR.
THE BOARD ALSO ORDERED, UH, PERMITS TO BE OBTAINED FOR THE STRUCTURE TO REMAIN VACANT AND SECURE AND ALSO TO PROVIDE PROGRESS REPORTS EVERY 30 DAYS.
UM, AFTER THAT TIME, THERE WERE, UH, AND THERE WAS PROGRESS BEING NOTED BY OFFICER MORA.
UH, AT SOME POINT, UH, A NEW OWNER DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, UH, AROUND MARCH OF 20, UH, MARCH OF 2017.
UH, HE DID REQUEST SOME B S B ORDERS AROUND DECEMBER 13TH, 2017.
THERE WAS A MUNICIPAL COURT CASE FILED BY MYSELF ON THE OWNER FOR NON-COMPLIANCE AROUND, UH, APRIL 5TH, 2018.
UM, AFTER THAT HAPPENED, WE DID GET A NEW DP OFFICER IN THE AREA.
SHE, SINCE THEN, HAS MOVED ON AND I HAVE COME BACK TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PROCESS.
UM, I DID HAVE A WARRANT FOR THIS PROPERTY THAT WAS CONDUCTED IN MARCH OF 2019.
THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED TODAY, UH, WERE TAKEN ON MARCH 8TH WITH AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT.
UM, AFTER MANAGEMENT DID REVIEW THE INTERIOR CONDITION, UH, STAFF WAS ASKED NOT TO GO BACK INTO THE STRUCTURE BECAUSE OF HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.
SO I DO HAVE UPDATED PHOTOS OF THE EXTERIOR, AND YOU'RE GONNA SEE PHOTOS FROM MARCH OF 2019 FROM THE INTERIOR.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS A TWO STORY WOOD FRAME STRUCTURE WITH AN ATTIC AND BASEMENT.
THE ROOF COVERING, UH, HAS HAD REPAIRS STARTED BUT NOT COMPLETE.
THE INTERIOR'S EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.
THERE ARE HOLES IN THE CEILING FLOORS, UH, AND THROUGHOUT EACH FLOOR OF THE HOUSE.
THERE'S, THERE'S WATER DAMAGE.
SEVERE WATER DAMAGE CAN ALSO BE SEEN ON THE WALLS AND ON THE INTERIOR.
UM, THE SIDING IS LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
UH, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS A TWO A TWO STORY WOOD FRAME STRUCTURE AS WELL.
THE EXTERIOR WALLS ARE LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION AS WELL.
[00:30:01]
SOME SHINGLES AND SHOWING A SLIGHT SAG, UH, FROM THE BOTTOM FLOOR.UH, YOU CAN SEE INSIDE THAT THE, UH, FLOORING IS UNSTABLE.
THEY DO HAVE SOME TEMPORARY SHORING THERE THAT DOES LOOK UNSTABLE.
AND, UH, THERE IS SOME SEVERE WATER DAMAGE.
DURING ONE OF MY INSPECTIONS I DID, UH, WAS WALKING AROUND THE OUTSIDE AND I DID SEE SOME NEEDLES ON THE GROUND.
SO THERE HAS BEEN SOME ACTIVITY OF SOME FOLKS THAT ARE COMING OVER THERE AND DOING DRUGS OCCASIONALLY.
I'M GONNA GO THROUGH THESE PHOTOS HERE.
SO THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE.
YOU CAN SEE SOME DETERIORATION TO THE FASCIA BOARD HERE, TO THE SIDING.
THIS IS THE RIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE.
THAT COLUMN IS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSING.
THAT HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS WITH THIS PROPERTY.
UM, ALONG WITH THAT, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S WATER DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE SECOND STORY.
THERE'S WATER DAMAGE ON THE OVERHANG.
THIS IS THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THIS, THIS BUILDING IS PRETTY LARGE.
IT IS OVER 4,000 SQUARE FEET, SO FORGIVE ME FOR THE EXTRA PHOTOS, BUT I DID WANT TO FOR YOU TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SEEING.
UM, YOU CAN SEE AT THE VERY TOP AT THE OVERHANG, UH, SAME THING.
THE, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF WATER DAMAGE UP THERE.
IT'S LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS IS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE SAME THING.
WATER DAMAGE TO THE, UM, SECOND STORY AND OVERHANG.
UM, WALKING INTO THE STRUCTURE, THIS, A LOT OF THE FLOORING IS VERY SPONGY.
UM, YOU'RE GONNA SEE A LOT OF THE, UM, CEILING AND THE FLOORING, UH, SHOWING A LOT OF DETERIORATION.
THIS PARTICULAR UNIT HAD SOME PLASTIC BAGS UP ON TOP FOR, I'M ASSUMING TO STOP THE WATER LEAKING.
UM, THIS WAS THE FIRST FLOOR YOU SEE DAMAGE TO THE FLOORING.
AGAIN, YOU DO SEE SOME, UH, WATER DAMAGE TO THE CEILING FLOORING.
SO RIGHT AROUND, UH, THIS IS IN THE SECOND STORY, YOU CAN SEE THE HOLES IN THE FLOOR, UH, AND THE WATER DAMAGE TO THE CEILING.
RIGHT AROUND OVER HERE IS WHERE, UH, THE DAMAGE WAS, WHERE THAT COLUMN APPEARS TO BE, UH, BUCKLING.
I DID ZOOM IN SO YOU CAN SEE A, A PICTURE OF THE FLOORING.
I DO HAVE SOME PICTURES TOWARDS THE FRONT AS WELL.
UM, THIS IS ALSO IN THAT, THAT AREA.
ON THE SECOND STORY, UH, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER DAMAGE ALL ALONG THE TOP.
AND THIS IS JUST A, A CLOSER PICTURE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM, FROM THERE.
UH, IT DOES NOT APPEAR STABLE.
THIS IS THE OTHER DIRECTION ON THE, ON THE BALCONY.
THIS IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BALCONY.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY DID START SOME REPAIRS, BUT WHAT YOU CAN ALSO SEE IS THAT IT'S BEEN SITTING LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE.
SO THERE IS A LOT OF WATER DAMAGE.
THERE'S SOME TEMPORARY SHORING.
THERE'S ANOTHER IMAGE OF THE TEMPORARY SHORING.
UH, THERE WAS CONCERN ABOUT THE TEMPORARY SHORING, UH, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FLOORING WAS WEAK IN SOME AREAS.
AND HERE YOU SEE SOME, SOME DETERIORATED FLOORING, SOME, UH, AND THEN THE TEMPORARY SHORING ON THIS PORTION YOU CAN SEE MORE WATER DAMAGE.
UH, THIS IS THE BASEMENT AREA.
UH, ONE OF THE WALLS WHEN YOU FIRST WALK IN ON YOUR LEFT HAND SIDE IS BUCKLING.
I JUST WANTED TO SHOW IT'S, IT'S HARD TO GET THE PICTURE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT IT HAS THIS CRACK DOWN THE CENTER AND IT IS BUCKLING OUTWARD OR INWARD I SHOULD SAY.
UH, THIS IS THE BASEMENT FLOOR.
YOU CAN SEE WATER DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE FLOORING.
WE HAVE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE DOES HAVE A SLIGHT SAG IN IT.
UM, IT WAS HARD TO GET A GOOD PICTURE OF THAT.
THERE IS SOME MISSING SHINGLES.
[00:35:01]
SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, IT IS, UM, LACKING SIDING, WEATHER PROTECTION.THERE'S A LOT OF WATER DAMAGE IS, HERE'S THE INTERIOR OF THAT LITTLE ROOM.
AND THIS IS THE MAIN PORTION WHERE THOSE, THE DOUBLE DOORS WERE.
UM, RIGHT HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY USED THIS AS A TEMPORARY SHORING TO HOLD UP THAT BEAM.
UH, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WATER DAMAGE THROUGHOUT HERE.
YOU HAVE SOME MORE, MORE TEMPORARY SHORING.
UM, THIS PORTION BACK HERE, UH, DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT'S VERY STABLE.
I DID TAKE A CLOSEUP PICTURE OF THE, UM, OF THE BRICKS.
UM, THIS IS ACTUALLY LEANING AND THERE YOU HAVE MORE WATER DAMAGE ON THE SUBFLOORING.
DURING THIS INSPECTION, WE DID HAVE OUR BUILDING INSPECTOR JASON GRAY, COME OUT TO LOCATION AND I JUST WANTED TO, UM, READ INTO RECORD THE EMAIL THAT HE SENT.
UM, HE DID MENTION, UH, THAT THE MAIN STRUCTURE, HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE COLUMNS THAT ARE BUCKLING AT THE RIGHT AND LEFT PORCHES.
IF EITHER OF THESE COLUMNS GIVE OUT, THE MAIN PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE WILL ALSO GIVE WAY.
THESE HAVE, UH, THESE HAVE HAD SOME, UH, IF THESE HAVE HAD SOME REPAIRS TO THE WOOD MADE THROUGHOUT, ESPECIALLY TO THE ROOF STRUCTURE.
UH, BUT NONE OF WHICH, UH, MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS.
THE STRUCTURE DUE TO THE ROT AND BAD REPAIRS IS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE.
UH, IF SOME SHORING UP RE UH, REPAIRS ARE NOT DONE VERY SOON.
MOST OF THE FLOORS AND BEAMS ARE, ARE SPONGY FROM THE WATER, UH, INTRUSION DUE TO ALL THE OPENINGS IN THE, THE OPENINGS IN THE EXTERIOR AND THE POOR ROOF REPAIRS IN THE REAR BASEMENT.
UM, THE MAIN THREE STORY WALL SUPPORT IS BUCKLING, WHICH IS PUTTING THE STRUCTURE IN DANGER AS WELL.
I BELIEVE THE STRUCTURE WILL START TO COLLAPSE IN A VERY NEAR FUTURE IF NO REPAIRS ARE MADE.
TO RECAP, UH, THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT 2 33 EAST CRAIG PLACE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN ARE 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15, 15 AND 18.
FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ARE 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17 IN WHICH ANY BUILDING ARE STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREINAFTER DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR IN FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF DOES RECOMMEND DEMOLITION.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 2 33 EAST CRAIG PLACE.
UH, THIS IS A LIKE AND RELATED QUESTION ON A ZONING COMMISSION BOARD.
HAS HE OR SHE GONE TO IT FOR AUGUST OF 2019? MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, UH, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO, AND WHEN I DID CALL HIM TO GET SOME DETAILS ON IT, HE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO ME.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY, ANY UPDATED INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THAT.
A A ANY FROM THE ZONING COMMISSION OR ANYTHING? NO, SIR.
UM, WHEN I, UH, I KNOW THE, THIS PROPERTY IS ZONED TWO DIFFERENT ZONES AND SO, UM, IT IS PART TWO AND ONE A.
THIS FOLDER'S KIND OF BIG AND IT DOESN'T FIT HERE.
BOARD, WE DO HAVE THAT MAP UP.
I CAN REPORT THAT OUT REAL QUICK.
PART OF IT, UH, IS ZONED MF 33.
THE REST OF IT, THE MAJORITY IS ZONED R SIX, WHICH IS RESIDENTIAL.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE IS IWAI, BUT THAT'S OKAY.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOTHING ON THAT.
IT SAID IN HERE IN YOUR NOTES THAT UH, WHEN WE GAVE THE ORDER AND EVERYTHING, DID THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITHIN 60 DAYS WITH PERMITS.
BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT PERMITS BEING PULLED.
SO THE WORK THAT WAS DONE IN THERE ON THE ROOF, THE ELECTRICAL AND UM, WHATEVER S SHOWING UP THEY DID WAS NOT PERMITTED.
UM, THERE, I REMEMBER SEEING, UH, A PERMIT FOR FENCING AND A PERMIT FOR GENERAL PERMITS.
IT WAS A GENERAL PERMIT THAT COVER THE ROOF PERMIT.
ESPECIALLY THE STRUCTURE OF THE ROOF.
BECAUSE I WAS GONNA SAY WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED OR IF IT WAS INSPECTED, IT WOULD'VE FAILED RIGHT OFF THE BAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT LINED UP WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
UM, SO NO PERMITS WERE PULLED.
[00:40:01]
A NEW OWNER HAS IT AND A NEW OWNER MADE NO ATTEMPT TO PULL PERMITS OR EVEN GET BACK IN THERE.SO MY UNDERSTANDING WAS HE WAS TRYING TO WORK WITH O H P FOR A WHILE.
UM, HE HAS, UH, HIS INTENTION WAS TO DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE AND, UH, HE, I DON'T KNOW IF HE REALLY WANTED TO DO ANY REPAIRS.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT HE WAS RELAYING TO ME.
UM, BUT HE WAS WORKING WITH O H P FOR QUITE SOME TIME IN ORDER TO RESOLVE WHAT HE WAS TO, TO ACCOMPLISH.
UM, AND AT SOME POINT HE DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THEM AND THEY DID ALLOW HIM TO DO THE DEMOLITION.
UM, NOW BECAUSE OF THE TWO ZONINGS OF THE PROPERTY, HE'S WAITING TO GET THAT COMPLETE BEFORE HE FOLLOWS THROUGH.
AND AS FAR AS, FROM WHAT I KNOW, I I I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S COMPLETED OR TRIED, IF HE SUCCEEDED IN WHAT HE WANTED.
DID I MISS SOMETHING ON THE, UH, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE? I DIDN'T SEE AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
YOU DIDN'T SEE THE PICTURES? I DON'T SEE IT IN THE PICTURES.
I SEE A BUILDING THAT'S ATTACHED ON, ON UH, SLIDE 34 THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THIS IS THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THAT SMALL PORTION THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IN 34.
UHHUH
SO THAT'S YOUR CARRIAGE GARAGE THAT'S ATTACHED WITH THE OTHER ONE.
FIVE YEARS LATER WE'RE HERE TEARING DOWN THIS ONCE.
MR. ZUNIGA IS GONNA MAKE A MOTION.
MS CHAIR, I BELIEVE THERE'S SOMEBODY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THIS PROPERTY.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY? UH, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD.
I THINK THE PICTURES AND THE TESTIMONY REALLY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
I'M NOT A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, BUT EVERY TIME WE WALK BY THE HOUSE IT'S VERY CONCERNING 'CAUSE IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO FALL DOWN AT ANY MINUTE.
SO I'M JUST A CONCERNED NEIGHBOR, UM, HERE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I GOT ONE MORE QUESTION OF CODE COMPLIANCE.
AS A QUESTION FOR CODE AS OF RIGHT NOW IS THE HOW SECURE OR NOT THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS.
OKAY, MRS. ZUNIGA, WE CAN PROCEED.
OKAY, I MOVE THAT THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AT 2 3 3 CRAIG PLACE, EAST N CB 3 0 9 8, BLOCK BLOCK 15 EAST, 25 FEET OF 14 AND W WEST, 25 FEET OF 16 IS, UH, PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6 1 6.
ON THE MAIN STRUCTURE IT'LL BE 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 18.
AND ON THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IT'LL BE 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17.
AND DID THIS ACCESS THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY BUILDING BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS AND A MOTION? OKAY.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND THE MOTION.
OKAY, WE HAVE UM, 30 DAY DEMO ORDER ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED ON, UH, 2 33 CRAIG PLACE, 30 DAY DEMO ON THE ACCESSORY AND THE MAIN ALL IN FAVOR? I'M SORRY.
CAN I HAVE A CLARIFICATION ON THE ACCESSORY PLEASE? ON THE NUMBERS 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15 AND 17.
'CAUSE MINE IS SHOWING 5 12 15.
UM, THAT'S, THAT'S ON A PREVIOUS CASE ON 33 0 2 HOUSTON STREET.
YEAH, THAT'S ON HOUSTON STREET.
SO IT'S 2 4 5 7 8 11 12 15, 17 FOR ACCESSORY.
OKAY, SO ALL IN FAVOR? AYE AYE.
ALL OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT.

AT THIS TIME, NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE TAKEN ON AUGUST 7TH AND SEPTEMBER AND NINE, 2019.
PHOTO PRESENTATION CONSISTS OF A FIRE DAMAGE STRUCTURE AND DETERIORATED CONDITION ALONG WITH AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT SITS IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY.
1 0 2 MOONSTONE SITS RIGHT HERE IN THIS AREA.
MAJOR, UH, CROSSWAYS IS 35 GOING NORTH AND RANDOLPH BOULEVARD.
THIS IS THE, UH, PLOT PLAN FOR THE, UH, PROPERTY.
YOU CAN SEE THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND THIS, THERE IS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT SITS RIGHT TOWARD THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FENCE ON THE PROPERTY.
[00:55:03]
ONE OF TWO MOONSTONE SITS AT A CORNER LOT.IT'S AT THE CORNER OF MOONSTONE ON THIS SIDE AND CAROLYN DRIVE ON THIS SIDE.
UM, SOME ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THIS PROPERTY IS VAGRANT ENTERING X-RAYING THE STRUCTURE RIGHT HERE FROM THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE AN OPEN GATE SYSTEM AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE A PATHWAY THAT HAS BEEN CREATED DUE TO VAGRANT ENTERING X-RAYING.
THE STRUCTURE, THE FRONT VIEW OF THE STRUCTURE, THIS STRUCTURE, UH, HAS 1,652 SQUARE FEET OF LIVING AREA.
A FIRE OCCURRED TO THE, UH, STRUCTURE ON DECEMBER 30TH, 2017.
AND EVEN THOUGH A FIRE DID OCCUR TO THE STRUCTURE, THERE'S UH, SOME DAMAGE DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE.
ANOTHER THING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT IS THAT, UH, FOR THE STRUCTURE, ALL THE, UH, WINDOWS AND DOORS HAVE BEEN SECURED BY CITY CONTRACTOR.
NEXT PHOTO REVEALS RIGHT HERE IN THIS AREA WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE ROOF OVERHANG AND THE DECKING IS, UH, IS MISSING THIS AREA.
IT HAS COLLAPSED AND YOU CAN SEE THE SHINGLES ABOUT TO DO THE SAME.
THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, UH, THE FIRE DID OCCUR TO THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.
IT HAS, UH, PER BCAT AS AN OPEN TERRACE IN THE BACK PATIO TERRACE.
NEXT PHOTO IS GONNA BE FROM THE BACK FACING THE FRONT AND WHERE YOU CAN SEE SOME MORE SEVERE DAMAGE THAT HAS OCCURRED BY THE FIRE WITH THE ROOF SYSTEM.
THIS IS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, HERE'S A BETTER VIEW WITH THE NEXT PHOTO.
DUE TO THIS LARGE, UH, BUSH ESCORT IN THIS AREA, I'D ALSO LIKE TO NOTE OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, DUE TO LACK OF MA LACK OF MAINTENANCE, THAT WAS NOT OCCURRED, UH, WITH THE FIRE, THERE IS SOME DAMAGE TO THE OVERHANG IN THIS AREA AS WELL.
TWO THINGS TO POINT OUT ON THIS AREA IS THE OVERHANG DAMAGE TO THE DECKING SHINGLES.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, UH, VAGRANT'S ENTERING THE STRUCTURE.
THIS SECURING IS ACTUALLY PULLED OUT.
I ADVISED THE BOARD THAT THERE IS ACTION ON THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW TO HAVE THE, UH, STRUCTURE SECURED AGAIN AND GRAFFITI THAT WILL BE REMOVED IN THE REAR BACK VIEW OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE FIRE DID OCCUR IN THIS AREA AND INTERIOR PHOTOS REVEAL A SEVERE DAMAGE THAT HAS OCCURRED.
NEXT PHOTO IS RIGHT HERE IN THIS AREA.
YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE THAT HAS OCCURRED TO THE ROOF SYSTEM.
UH, THIS WAS NOTED AS A, UH, COVERED PATIO TERRACE.
THE ACTUAL ROOF ROOF IS ACTUALLY MISSING IN THIS AREA.
NEXT PHOTO IS TOWARD THE LEFT SIDE, RIGHT OVER HERE IN THIS AREA WHERE YOU CAN SEE MORE DAMAGE TO THE OVERHANG.
UM, THERE'S AN OPENING RIGHT HERE THAT WAS SECURED, AND THIS IS ONE OF WHERE MY FIRST INITIAL INTERIOR PHOTO WAS TAKEN.
NEXT PHOTO IS GONNA REVERE, UH, REVEAL A SEAL PLATE THAT IS SEVERELY CHARRED.
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, MY FIRST INTERIOR PHOTO WAS TAKEN FROM THAT WINDOW.
UH, YOU CAN SEE A LARGE AMOUNT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS THAT'S SLOWLY LOCATED INSIDE SMOKE DAMAGE.
NEXT PHOTO IS JUST AN OVERLOOK OF THE CEILING WHERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SHEET ROCK IS MISSING.
THIS PHOTO IS TAKEN MORE FOR A LAYOUT.
THIS IS A THREE BEDROOM STRUCTURE.
UM, I'M STANDING IN THE BEDROOM THAT I WAS PREVIOUSLY, UH, THE PHOTOS PREVIOUSLY REVEALED.
RIGHT HERE TO THE LEFT IS A ANOTHER BEDROOM, ANOTHER BEDROOM.
AND TO THE RIGHT, RIGHT HERE IS A RESTROOM AREA.
THIS HALLWAY LEADS TO THE KITCHEN AREA AND THE LIVING AREA.
THE BEDROOM TO THE LEFT CORNER OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, I TOOK THIS CASE OVER FROM A PREVIOUS OFFICER, PREVIOUS, UH, OFFICER'S, UH, INITIAL, UH, WARRANT.
THAT WAS FIRST WARRANT THAT WAS PULLED.
DID SOME REVEAL, SOME, SOME DRUG USE IN THE STRUCTURE AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA ON THE INSIDE, THE STRUCTURE.
UM, HERE YOU CAN SEE, UM, A VAGRANTS WERE USING THE MATTRESS TO SLEEP ON.
THIS IS THE OTHER BEDROOM TOWARD THE, UH, MIDDLE OF THE STRUCTURE.
UH, JUST LARGE AMOUNT, A LARGE AMOUNT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS PILED UP MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE, THE SMOKE DAMAGE THAT IS OCCURRING THROUGHOUT THE INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE ALONG WITH MISSING SHEET ROCK IN THIS AREA.
THIS IS THAT RESTROOM AREA TO THE RIGHT OF THE HALLWAY.
UH, YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRED, A LARGE OPENING, WHICH ACTUALLY YOU'RE ABLE TO VIEW BACK TO WHERE THE LOOKS LIKE, UH, SEVERE DAMAGE, UH, WHERE THE FIRE ACTUALLY DID START.
AND THIS IS THAT, UH, TERRACE, THAT PATIO TERRACE AREA, KITCHEN AREA.
UM, I DID NOT FIND ANY DRUG PARAPHERNALIA ON MY INSPECTION AND INTERIOR WARRANT PULLED, BUT WHAT I DID FIND WAS SEAT
[01:00:01]
SEATINGS THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE.WE CAN TELL BNS WERE HANGING OUT.
THIS IS THE KITCHEN AREA, AND THE NEXT PHOTO IS GONNA BE OF THE LIVING AREA.
THIS IS TOWARD, IF YOU'RE FACING THE HOUSE, IT'S TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
BUT AS WE GET AROUND TO THE KITCHEN AREA, YOU'RE GONNA START TO RE REVEAL THE MORE EXTENT OF THE FIRE AND THE DAMAGE THAT IT HAS CAUSED.
UM, THIS IS RIGHT TO THE RIGHT OF THE KITCHEN AREA, WHICH IS GONNA LEAD TO THE BACK TERRACE AREA.
HERE WE CAN SEE THE SEVERELY CHARRED WOOD MEMBERS.
NEXT PHOTO REVEALS TO THE RIGHT WITH THE TOP HEADERS AND THE DOOR HEADERS.
THERE'S AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE THAT SITS IN THE BACK.
IT'S A SMALL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
IT'S LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
UM, IT'S MORE OF A FOUR OF A SIX BY EIGHT.
IT DOESN'T REQUIRE PERMITS TO BE BUILT.
BUT THE, WHAT WE DID, WHAT WE DID SEE TO BE A VIOLATION IN THIS AREA, WAS A SETBACK ON THE PROPERTY.
THIS PROPERTY REQUIRES A FIVE FOOT SETBACK, AND IT WAS BUILT ILLEGALLY WITH ONLY ALMOST LIKE A TWO FOOT SETBACK.
THERE IS ACTION ACTUALLY TO HAVE THIS STRUCTURE SECURED AND IT, IT, IT, THIS STRUCTURE SITS ON GRADE AND THERE'S JUST MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS THAT SITTING IN THERE.
BUT WE DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE VAGRANTS OPEN, OPENING UP THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE DAMAGED BY FIRE THAT OCCURRED ON DECEMBER 30TH, 2017.
THE STRUCTURE SUSTAINED FIRE DAMAGE TO THE REAR, CAUSING THE COLLAPSE OF THE BACK PORTION OF THE ROOF SYSTEM.
INTERIOR HAS A COMBINATION OF SMOKE DAMAGE AND CHARRED WOOD MEMBERS.
VAGRANTS HAVE ENTERED AND EXITED THE STRUCTURE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.
THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE LOCATED IN THE REAR IS LACKING.
THE PROP IS, IS LACKING THE PROPER SETBACKS FOR THE PROPERTY LINE.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1 0 2 MOONSTONE ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE THAT HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HERE AND AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD OF PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR A POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1 0 2 MOONSTONE QUESTION.
MR. ZUNIGA HAD A QUESTION FIRST, UH, ON THE MAIN STRUCTURE, CHRIS? YES, SIR.
UH, YOU HAVE 1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17 80 OF SEVEN.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SUBSECTION, SIR? YES.
CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION AGAIN, SIR, PLEASE? UH, ON THE, ON THE MAIN STRUCTURE, IT SAID 1, 2, 5, 7.
YOU WANT ME TO RE YOU WANT ME, UH, FOR THE RECORD, LET ME REPEAT THE SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
UH, THERE WAS, UH, UH, ALI MOHAMED THAT WAS GOING BUY THE PROPERTY THERE.
AND THAT WAS ABOUT A OVER A YEAR AGO.
SO IT NEVER HAPPENED, RIGHT? NO, SIR.
AND WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG? OVER A YEAR? YEAH.
MR. ZUNI, I CAN ADVISE YOU OF TWO REASONS FOR THAT.
UM, ONE WOULD BE THAT THE, UH, INITIAL OFFICER THAT DID HAVE THE CASE, UM, LOOK LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO WORK WITH THE, UH, UH, POTENTIAL BUYER OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH DID KIND OF, UH, PUSH IT BACK A LITTLE BIT.
AND THEN I SAW IN THE NOTES WHEN HE REACHED BACK OUT TO HIM, UM, HE NOTED THAT, UH, HE WASN'T GONNA BUY THE PROPERTY.
UH, OFFICER WAS TO PROCEED WITH THE B S B HEARING.
UM, I CAN ALSO ADVISE THAT THE OFFICER HANDLING THE CASE, UM, IS A BUSY INDIVIDUAL THAT, UH, HIRES THAT
[01:05:02]
BRINGS, UH, B S B CASES TO THE BOARD JUST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER LEVEL.UM, WE SPOKE, TOOK OVER THE CASE AND WE PUSHED IT HERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
SOME OTHER THINGS THAT DO OCCUR DURING THAT TIMEFRAME IS, UM, ONCE WE SUBMIT THE PAPERWORK, IT, UH, HAS TO GO TO LEGAL, IT HAS TO, UH, BE VIEWED, AND THEN IT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE SET UP FOR A, UH, HEARING DATE, WHICH, UM, KIND OF GETS BACKED UP.
WE DO HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF, UH, OF DATES AND PROPERTIES THAT ARE ALREADY SET FORWARD.
WELL, THIS CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, USUALLY THEY COME QUICK LOOKING AND SAY, BUT HERE IT TOOK OVER A YEAR AND A HALF ON THIS ONE.
BEFORE I MAKE MY, UH, MR. ANDREWS HAS A QUESTION BEFORE I MAKE THE MOTION, I NEED TO ASK THIS QUESTION HERE.
DID I HEAR YOU SAY THAT THERE IS A CASE OPEN ON THE GRAFFITI? YES, SIR.
THERE'S A, UH, WE HAVE AN ACTION.
UM, WORK ORDER IS IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW.
IT'S AWAITING DISTRIBUTION TO A CONTRACTOR.
ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON NOW LET ME GO TO STAFF.
WHY ARE WE WASTING MONEY TO, TO GET RID OF GRAFFITI ON A BUILDING THAT'S ABOUT TO BE DEMOED? IS THAT NOT WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE? THIS IS JENNY RAMIREZ WITH, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS FRAUD OR, OR WASTE.
UH, WE HAVE FOUND IN OUR PAST PROCESSES THAT ANY GRAFFITI ANYWHERE IN THE CITY, WE TRY TO, WE TRY TO TAKE CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT TENDS TO LEAD TO MORE GRAFFITI.
UH, IT WILL PASS FROM PROPERTY TO PROPERTY.
SO WE WANT TO TRY TO STOP IT IN ITS TRACKS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
UM, JUST AS WELL AS THIS PROPERTY OR ANY OTHER PROPERTY.
IF IT WERE UNSECURED, WE WON'T LET IT GO UNSECURED WHILE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE PROCESS TO HAVE IT DEMOLISHED.
WE WANT IT TO BE A SAFETY, CREATE A SAFETY STANDARD AS OFTEN AND AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW WE DO HAVE AN ORDER THAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS, WE STILL WANT IT TO BE SAFE WHILE IT'S IN THAT STATUS.
SAME THING GOES FOR THE GRAFFITI AS WELL.
WHEN GRAFFITI IS SEEN ON WHEN BUILDING, IT TENDS TO MULTIPLY THROUGHOUT THE AREA.
SO AS MUCH AS WE CAN TAKE CARE OF IT, THAT'S WHAT WE WORK TO DO.
AND I UNDERSTAND THE SAFETY SIDE OF IT, BUT GRAFFITI ON THE BACK OF A BUILDING IS ABOUT TO BE DEMOED.
IF THE DEMO IS DONE PRIOR TO THE GRAFFITI BEING REMOVED, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE IT'S AT AND HOW VISIBLE IT IS.
BUT OUR, OUR CURRENT STANDARD IS ANYWHERE, IF IT'S SEEN ANYWHERE, WE WANT IT TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE IT TENDS TO MULTIPLY JUST LIKE ILLEGAL DUMPING.
DUMPING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WILL TEND TO MULTIPLY UP AND DOWN THE BLOCKS.
SO THAT'S OUR, OUR CURRENT STANDARD.
AND, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THIS IS ON THE BACK WALL AND WE'RE ABOUT TO DEMO IT.
THAT FUND THAT COULD BE USED TO ERASE THE GRAFFITI OFF, THIS ONE SHOULD BE USED IN AN AREA WHERE IT'S VISIBLE IN THE CITY INSTEAD OF ON THIS BUILDING.
MS. STRANDIS CAN ANSWER, UH, CAN I FEED BACK ON WHAT MS. RAMIREZ SAID? ALSO, SIR, WE DO HAVE A, UM, YOU KNOW, AS IT'S GONNA BE STATED, THE OWNER DOES HAVE HAVE A 30 DAY APPEAL.
UM, IN THAT TIME, IF THAT OWNER DOES APPEAL AND DOESN'T CORRECT, THE ACTIONS DOES APPEAL.
THIS, THE, THIS CASE BECOMES A LONGER CASE AND NO DEMOLITION HAS OCCURRED.
NOW WE'RE STUCK WITH A STRUCTURES THAT IS UNSECURED AND HAS THE GRAFFITI ON IT BECAUSE APPEAL PROCESS MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME AS LEGAL GETS INVOLVED IN IT.
I HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE WE, MR. NELSON HAS A, HAS A QUESTION ALSO.
THERE'S A WOODEN FENCE THAT IS ON THE PROPERTY LINE ASSUMPTION ON MY PART IS, IS THAT FENCE ACTUALLY PART OF THIS PROPERTY OR IS IT ADJACENT PROPERTY? NO, SIR.
THAT'S THE ACTUAL SIDE, SWING GATE ON THAT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
IT'S JUST AT AN ANGLE THAT IT'S, UH, IT'S OFF ITS HINGES AND IT'S JUST ALSO SITTING AT AN ANGLE.
WE CAN GET A PRETTY GOOD VIEW OF IT.
I BELIEVE PICTURE FOUR HAS A BETTER PHOTO.
UH, IT'S RIGHT HERE IN THIS AREA ALSO.
IT'S NOT QUITE OF A VIEW, BUT IT USED TO BE A GATE.
THAT WOULD, UH, WOULD, IF YOU WERE TO SWING IT AND CLOSE IT, THAT IT WOULD, UH, SECURE THE STRUCTURE FROM THE LEFT SIDE, SECURE THE PROPERTY FROM THE LEFT SIDE, BUT IT, AT IT AT ONE TIME WAS A SWING GATE.
AND ON THAT SAME SLIDE YOU JUST PULLED UP, THERE'S A CHAIN LINK FENCE BEHIND THAT WOODEN FENCE.
IS THAT CORRECT? NOT THIS SLIDE.
SEE THERE'S A CHAIN LINK FENCE RIGHT BY THE RIGHT THERE.
IT SAYS BEHIND THE, UH, PRIVACY FENCE.
WOULD WE INCLUDE THE PRIVACY FENCE AS PART OF THE DEMOLITION IF THAT IS THE ORDER? UM, I BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DID NOT,
[01:10:01]
UM, INCLUDE THAT AS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, SO I WOULD HAVE TO, UH, AS PART OF, UM, I GUESS MY RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION, THAT WAS CONSIDERED, THAT WAS NOT CONSIDERED IN IT.IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GIVE WITH MANAGEMENT TO SEE IF WE CAN TAKE ACTION ON THAT.
THE QUESTION GOES TO MANAGEMENT AND OR LEGAL.
CAN WE INCLUDE THE FENCE AS PART OF AN ORDER? I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE FENCE WAS PART OF ANY NOTICE GIVEN IN REGARDS TO THE PROPERTY.
I CAN ADVISE YOU THOUGH THAT AFTER, UM, THE DEMOLITION DOES OCCUR AND THERE'S OTHER SITUATIONS, THE FENCE HAS FALLEN DOWN.
WE CAN'T HAVE THAT REMOVED ONCE IT'S ON THE GROUND.
QUESTION, UH, MR. ZOGA HAS A QUESTION, BUT IT SAYS IF IT'S LISTING LIKE THAT, YOU CAN PUT ANOTHER CHARGE AT, AT PRESENT.
THIS IS HOW THEY, WHAT THE COLONEL WAS, WAS TRYING TO, AND NOT WAIT TILL THE END.
IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND A HALF.
IT'S GOING TO FALL DOWN REGARDLESS.
I CAN, I CAN REITERATE IF IT DOES FALL DOWN DURING THE DEMOLITION PROCESS, IT WILL BE REMOVED AND NOT LEFT BEHIND.
IF IT IS STILL STANDING DURING THE DEMOLITION PROCESS.
WE NEED TO PROCESS IT AS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, WHICH REQUIRES NOTIFICATION AND, AND THE DUE, THE DUE PROCESS THAT JUDY KEEPS US ALL ON TRACK WITH.
SO, WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE SURE TO, UH, BE DILIGENT IN THAT AS WELL.
MR. ANDREWS HAS A, OH, I MOVED AT THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AT 1 0 2 MOONSTONE DRIVE ARE A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED IN ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6 1 5 6.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18 FOR THE ACCESSORY, 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, 15, 17, 18 FOR ACCESSORY THAT THEY BE DEEMED NON-REPAIRABLE.
THEY'RE NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AND THAT THEY BE DEMOED WITHIN 30 DAYS FOR THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE BECOME, POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, SAFETY, OR PROPERTY TO BE DEMOED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
SO, UH, MR. ANDERS MADE A MOTION FOR A 30 DAY DEMO ORDER ON THE PROPERTY, UH, AT ONE OH SECOND.
1 0 2, MOONSTONE,
AND NOW WE HAVE A SECOND BY MR. ZUNIGA.
AND, UH, ALL IN, UH, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? NO DISCUSSION.
ALL OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT.
SO NOW LET, CAN, MAY I ASK A QUESTION AFTER THE FACT SO THAT IT WASN'T, WASN'T A PART OF THAT MOONSTONE RECORD SINCE THE FENCE WAS NOT INCLUDED AND IT'S A AND IT'S, IT'S FALLING DOWN.
SO INSTEAD OF INCLUDING IT IN THE, IN THE MAIN ORDER NOW WHEN YOU 30 OR 60 DAYS GOES BY, SO THE, UH, CONSTRUCTION CREW GOES OUT THERE TO DEMO THE, THE PROPERTY AND THE FENCE IS LEANING, SO THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT DOWN ANYWAY BECAUSE IT IS LEANING AND, UH, BUT ISN'T THAT LIKE, THAT'S LIKE DOUBLE WORK TO NOT TO INCLUDE IT IN THE, IN THE, IN THE ORDER BECAUSE I MEAN, I MEAN, I KNOW, I KNOW WE GOT 3 MILLION, $3 BILLION BUDGET GOING INTO EFFECT, BUT DO WE ALL HAVE TO SPEND IT DIFFERENT TIMES? CAN'T WE JUST SPEND IT AT ONE TIME AND BE DONE WITH IT? MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT'S MY THOUGHTS.
MY UNDERSTANDING, MY, MY UNDERSTANDING IS IF THEY HAD GONE OUT THERE FOR A FULL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT AND THE FENCE IS ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED AS A STRUCTURE.
SINCE IT'S NOT ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE, IT'S NOT A STRUCTURE.
IF THEY WERE OUT THERE LOOKING AT ALL THE PROPERTY ISSUES, THEY COULD HAVE ADDED IT TO, BUT SINCE IT'S NOT PART OF IT HAS TO BE A NEW CASE OPEN AND THEN IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS.
I I, WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU KNOW, BUT THIS IS LIKE DOUBLE WORK, DOUBLE MONEY, DOUBLE EVERYTHING.
YOU HAVE TO GET IN THERE AND, AND NOW YOU GOTTA GO AND DO
[01:15:01]
A CASE ON THE FENCE.YOU KNOW, THAT TIME COULD BE SPENT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THAT'S LIKE, I, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT FENCE ALSO PROBABLY DIVIDES, UM, AND HAS A SEPARATION BETWEEN THE PROPERTIES.
UM, ALTHOUGH THE, THERE'S GOING TO BE, IF THE FENCE COMES DOWN, THERE MIGHT BE TWO PROPERTIES AND TWO STRUCTURES, UH, THAT ARE AFFECTED.
SO, UH, IF FEASIBLE, THAT HOUSE, THAT FENCE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED WHERE, UH, THE HOUSE THAT WAS NEXT DOOR TO THE HOUSE THAT YOU JUST ORDERED DEMOLISHED WILL STILL HAVE, UH, THAT FENCE IN PLACE TO PROVIDE PRIVACY FOR ITSELF.
THAT, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE FENCE, BUT THE PRIVACY FENCE BELONGED TO THE HOUSE.
AND THE, THE CHAIN LINK FENCE WAS THE ONE THAT BELONGED TO THE PROPERTY MS CHAIR, TO BE FAIR, I'M NOT, I'M NOT TOO SURE EXACTLY HOW IT IS.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS GIVE A, AN EXAMPLE AS TO WHY.
UH, THAT, THAT STRUCTURE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN DOWN OR WAS NOT PART OF, UM, THE, THE BOARD'S.
I APOLOGIZE FOR ASKING THE QUESTION.
IT'S, IT'S REALLY A MOOT ISSUE SINCE THE MOTION IS DONE AND I MOVE THAT WE ADJOURN, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
MR. NELSON, I, YOU KNOW, YOU BROUGHT UP A POINT, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, BE MORE, UH, AWARE OF, UH, ACTUALLY SO MUCH CONCENTRATING ON THE STRUCTURES ITSELF IN VIOLATION.
JUST START LOOKING OUTSIDE THAT SCOPE.
I WOULD'VE DONE THE SAME THING.
I GUESS IT'S JUST JOB SECURITY.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. NELSON FOR, UM, ADJOURNMENT.
I WANNA DEBATE THE ADJOURNMENT.
OKAY, WE HAVE A SECOND BY MR. ANDREWS.
OPPOSED? AYES HAVE IT AND WE ARE NOW ADJOURNED.
