THE WOODEN DECK ON THE LEFT PORTION
[00:10:01]

HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THAT WOODEN PORCH.
AGAIN, THE WOODEN PLANKS, THEY DO LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
THEY'RE ROTTED AND THEY'RE NOT CONNECTED TO ANY BEAMS. SO WHEN YOU WALK ON THEM, THEY DO MOVE.
AND THERE IS A CARJACK ACTUALLY HOLDING UP THE, THE PORCH SYSTEM IN THE CENTER.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.

NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OF LETTER.
UH, NO FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS OF JULY 2ND, 2025.
THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE FOR 41 47 SUNRISE CREEK DRIVE.
THE FIRST PHOTO IS OF THE FRONT ELEVATION SHOWING A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE.
IT WAS BUILT IN 1985 WITH A SLAB ON GRADE FOUNDATION.
THE STRUCTURE HAS WOOD SIDING ACROSS GABLE ROOF SYSTEM AND IS 1,359 SQUARE FEET.
THIS STRUCTURE IS LOCATED WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF WILLIAM PELLE ELEMENTARY AND SAN ANTONIO PREPARATORY SCHOOL.
THE STRUCTURE IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND HAS HAD NO WATER OR ELECTRICAL SERVICE SINCE 2019.
FROM THE FRONT, YOU CAN SEE THE DILAPIDATED CONDITION OF THE SIDING AND THE THE LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE FRONT OVERHANG ABOVE THE ENTRANCE.
HERE YOU CAN SEE A LARGE HOLE IN THE ROOF TO THE RIGHT OF THE CHIMNEY.
IN JANUARY WHEN I INSPECTED IT, THERE WAS ONLY ONE HOLE.
UH, THE COLLAPSE TO THE LEFT OF THE RAFTER IN THE CENTER THERE IS NEW.
SINCE THAT TIME, THE ROOF HAS DAMAGED SUPPORTS FOR THE OVERHANG, WHICH IS NOW SAGGING ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
THE FASCIA BOARDS, AS YOU CAN SEE, ARE DETERIORATED.
BOTH THE TRIM AND SIDING AROUND THE CHIMNEY IS ROTTED AND MISSING AS WELL.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE OF THE FRONT ELEVATION.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THE MISSING SIDING, THE WOODEN STUDS THAT ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.
UH, CATS WERE GOING IN AND OUT OF THAT UH, HOLE THERE.
UH, EACH TIME I CAME FOR INSPECTION, YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE DETERIORATION OF THE WOOD.
THE WALL STUDS AND THE FLOOR PLATE IS ALMOST COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED.
THE FRAMING AROUND THE WOOD, UH, WINDOW IS ROTTED AND LAX WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS PHOTO IS OF THE LEFT ELEVATION, UH, FROM THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE WOODEN SIDING AROUND THE BOTTOM IS ROTTED.
THE FRAMING AROUND THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR UP THERE TOWARDS THE FRONT LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION.
BOTH THE METER BOX AND THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WERE DAMAGED.
THEY'VE BEEN PULLED AWAY FROM THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS THE DECKING THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE CONCRETE SLAB ON THAT LEFT ELEVATION.
WHEN I TRIED TO WALK ON IT, I WAS A LITTLE, UH, NERVOUS ABOUT FALLING THROUGH.
UH, THOSE BOARDS HAVE COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SUPPORTS UNDERNEATH AND IT LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
UH, WE CURRENTLY HAVE ANOTHER WORK ORDER IN PROGRESS TO ABATE IT AGAIN.
UH, THE RECENT STORMS THAT WE'VE HAD, UM, HAS JUST PROPAGATED THE GROWTH OF THE VEGETATION IN THE BACK.
IT MAKES IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO TAKE PHOTOS.
UM, HOWEVER YOU CAN SEE THE SIDING IS ROTTED AT THE BOTTOM THERE.
I WALKED AROUND UP TO THE LEFT CORNER OF THAT REAR ELEVATION TO TAKE THIS PHOTO.
YOU CAN SEE THE FASCIA IS DETACHED.
THE SOFFIT IS ROTTED, AND THE ROOFING SYSTEM IS DETERIORATED.
I ADDED THIS PHOTO FROM FEBRUARY FOR TWO REASONS.
UH, ONE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER VIEW OF THE ROOFING SYSTEM BEFORE ALL THAT VEGETATION STARTED TO GROW AGAIN.
UM, AND ALSO TO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME CONTEXT IN REGARDS TO JUST HOW QUICKLY THIS STRUCTURE IS DETERIORATING AT THIS POINT.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THE MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE ROOF, DAMAGED DECKING, THE ROOF SHEATHING, SHINGLES AND
[00:30:01]
TRUSSES.UH, FOUR MONTHS AGO, THAT FASCIA ON THAT LEFT CORNER WAS STILL ATTACHED.
HERE'S THE RIGHT ELEVATION, UH, SHOWING MORE DETERIORATION OF THE WOODEN SIDING AT THE BOTTOM.
AND THE SIDING TOWARDS THE TOP IS BUCKLING, UH, FROM WATER DAMAGE.
THIS IS THE VIEW AS I ENTERED THE STRUCTURE THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS, INSULATION AND ITEMS BEING STORED IN THE STRUCTURE PREVENT, I'M SORRY, PRESENT A VERY REAL EGRESS DANGER TO FIRST RESPONDERS.
UH, SHOULD AN EMERGENCY OCCUR.
AS YOU LOOK UP, UH, INTO THE ROOF OF THAT FRONT ROOM, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER DAMAGED DECKING FROM THE HOLES IN THE ROOF WITH NATURAL LIGHT COMING INTO THE INTERIOR.
UH, IF YOU LOOK IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THAT PHOTO, THOSE ARE THE HOLES YOU COULD SEE FROM THE FRONT ELEVATION OUTSIDE THE COLLAPSE SHEET.
ROCK AND INSULATION YOU SAW IN THE PREVIOUS PHOTO ALONG WITH THE WATER DAMAGE.
TRUSSES ARE CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE.
IF YOU TURN TO YOUR RIGHT AFTER COMING THROUGH THAT FRONT DOOR, YOU CAN SEE INTO THE GARAGE AGAIN, A LARGE ACCUMULATION OF ITEMS COLLAPSED, INSULATION AND SHEET ROCK.
THE NATURAL LIGHT THERE AT THE TOP IS COMING THROUGH THE HOLES IN THE ROOF.
THERE'S A VEHICLE THAT REMAINS IN THE GARAGE.
THIS IS A VIEW FROM THE KITCHEN.
LOOKING BACK AT THAT FRONT ROOM, UH, AGAIN, MORE SHEET ROCK COLLAPSED HAS HAPPENED HERE FROM THE, THE WATER DAMAGE COMING THROUGH THE ROOF.
IF YOU SPIN 180 DEGREES FROM THAT SPOT, UH, YOU'RE ABLE TO GET A GOOD VIEW OF THE HOLES YOU SAW ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE REAR ELEVATION.
THE INTERIOR WALLS ARE HEAVILY DAMAGED BY WATER.
THE FRAME OF THE DOOR RIGHT AT THE TOP THERE IS SEPARATING.
THIS PHOTO IS LOOKING STRAIGHT UP RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT DOORWAY.
THE SHINGLES HANG OVER THE EDGE OF THE HOLES.
THE CEILING JOISTS AND THE TRUSSES ARE WATER DAMAGED.
AS YOU WALK, UH, INTO THE DOOR OF THAT FIRST BEDROOM AND LOOK UP AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE EXTENT OF THE WATER DAMAGE TO THE DECKING AND THE TRUSSES.
THE PLYWOOD IS JUST SEPARATING UP THERE.
THE INTERIOR OF THE ROOMS ARE FILLED WITH DEBRIS COLLAPSED, SHEET ROCK AND INSULATION.
THERE'S NO ABILITY TO WALK INTO THAT ROOM AT ALL.
IF YOU LOOK DOWN THE HALLWAY, UH, AND LOOK UP, THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE.
THERE'S TWO MORE BEDROOMS DOWN HERE.
UH, THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE DAMAGE DECKING, THE MISSING ROOF DAMAGED TRUSSES.
THE, THE WATER AND THE ELEMENTS HAVE JUST CORRUPTED THE WALLS COMPLETELY.
UM, I'D LIKE TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT BACK WALL.
UH, THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH WATER DAMAGE THAT THAT TOP PLATE IS ACTUALLY BOWING AND HAS SEPARATED FROM THE WALL.
UH, EVERYTHING'S DAMAGED BY WATER.
THE WALLS ON THE BACK THERE ARE JUST DISINTEGRATING, UM, FROM EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS.
THIS PHOTO IS OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THE FIRST ONE IN THE REAR YARD TO THE RIGHT OF THE PROPERTY LINE.
IT HAS A GABLE ROOF MADE OF METAL WITH METAL AND WOOD SIDING ON A SLAB.
UH, ON GRADE FOUNDATION, THE STRUCTURE IS LEANING TO THE LEFT, SINKING INTO THE GRADE.
THERE IS A HOLE IN THE WOODEN DOOR AT THE TOP, I'M SORRY, AT THE BOTTOM.
UH, IF YOU CAN SEE THERE, UH, WHERE RODENTS AND ANIMALS ARE ENTERING INTO THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE SIDING LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION AND IS ROTTED.
THE METAL ROOF IS SAGGING SLIGHTLY IN THE MIDDLE.
ON THE LEFT CORNER THERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE SIDING IS SEPARATING FROM THE FRAME.
UH, THE METAL SIDING ON HERE IS MISSING AT THE TOP, AND THE EXPOSED WOOD HAS NO WEATHER PROTECTION.
I WASN'T ABLE, CAN WE GO BACK FOR JUST A SECOND? I WASN'T ABLE TO GET YOU A PHOTO.
OF THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
[00:35:01]
DIRECTLY ON A ZERO PROPERTY LINE AND IT'S COVERED BY THE FENCE INSIDE THE STRUCTURE.AGAIN, A LARGE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS AND ITEMS BEING STORED THERE.
UH, THE WOODEN INTERIOR, UH, WALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER DAMAGE TO IT.
THE DOOR FRAME ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS SPLITTING
THIS IS THE THIRD ACCESSORY, UH, APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF GARDEN ARBOR.
UH, IT'S LISTING HEAVILY TO THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE POSTER ARE DIRECTLY INTO THE SOIL WITH NO CONCRETE FOOTERS.
THE WOOD MEMBERS ARE WORN AND HAVE NO WEATHER PROTECTION.
THE RAPID DETERIORATION OF THIS STRUCTURE OF THESE STRUCTURES CAUSED BY THE OWNER'S FAILURE TO PERFORM REPAIRS OR MAINTENANCE PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE SAFETY AND WELLBEING OF NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS AND CHILDREN IN THE AREA.
TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 41 47 SUNRISE CREEK DRIVE ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1 2 5 7 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
1, 2, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE SHED ACCESSORY.
AND 7, 8, 12, AND 15 FOR THE GARDEN ARBOR ACCESSORY IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS HAD ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND 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 41 47 SUNRISE CREEK DRIVE.

MR. CHAIR, I'M GONNA, UH, GO AHEAD COUNSEL.
IT'S, IT'S INAPPROPRIATE FOR ANY QUESTIONS TO BE POSED TO THIS BOARD.
UM, I I WOULD HOPE THAT, UM, DEVELOPMENT
[00:40:01]
SERVICES, THE, THE, THE, I WOULD URGE THE QUESTION TO BE, UH, DIRECTED TO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND WE CAN GO FROM THERE, BUT I WOULD SAY IT'S IMPROPER TO ASK THIS BOARD OR POSE QUESTIONS TO THIS BOARD.IS IT ACCEPTABLE FOR HER TO ASK THE QUESTION TO THE STAFF AT THIS TIME? YES.
SHE CAN DEFINITELY DO, YOU CAN VISIT TO THE STAFF, MA'AM.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR ME? NO.

WE'RE JUDICIAL SO WE CAN, UM, LEMME ASK YOU THIS.
IF THEY GOT THE LETTERS BACK IN JUNE, I DO BELIEVE IT WAS, WELL, THE LETTER'S DATED JUNE, SO THAT WOULDN'T BE WHEN THEY RECEIVED IT.
SO LET'S SAY THEY RECEIVED IT JULY-ISH, BEGINNING OF JULY.
SO, SO THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO RESPOND IN, IN, IN A FASHION TO LET STAFF KNOW THAT, HEY, LOOK, WE JUST GOT THE LETTER.
CAN WE, THAT, THAT WASN'T APPARENTLY TAKEN CARE OF.
SO THEY GAVE IT TO YOU AND YOU'RE IN HERE TRYING TO, TRYING TO ASK FOR TIME.
SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT WAS JUST BROUGHT TO BARRETT DAFEN FOR PIER TURNER AND ENGEL'S ATTENTION, AND THEY REPRESENT MID FIRST BANK.
SO MID FIRST BANK CONTACTED THEM APPARENTLY YESTERDAY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS WAS SET.
AND SO THEY SCURRIED TO FIND SOMEBODY AND CONTACTED ME AND ASKED ME IF I WOULD APPEAR.
SO, UM, I, I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH NOTICE THEY'VE HAD, BUT WHAT I WAS TOLD IS THAT THEY ARE GETTING BIDS FOR REPAIRS, SO THEY'RE TRYING TO GET SOMETHING TOGETHER.
WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE LOAN OR THE MORTGAGE? OBJECTION.
IT IS, UH, DELINQUENT AT THIS POINT.
AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE LIEN HOLDERS.
THEY, THEY, UH, COULD STEP IN.
THEY HAVEN'T, THERE'S NO ACTIVE FORECLOSURES AS OF RIGHT NOW.
UM, BUT IT JUST RECENTLY BECAME DELINQUENT.
SO TO WHAT EXTENT IS IT DELINQUENT? UM, I, I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT EXTENT.
I KNOW THAT IT WAS PAID AS OF, I THINK THE LAST PAYMENT WAS AROUND MARCH THE FIRST.
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THE, THE STATUS PRIOR TO MARCH 1ST? I DO NOT.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS.

HE PASSED ON AND SUPPOSEDLY HE LEFT IT TO HER.
IT WAS JUST MORE OF A WORD OF MOUTH.
SO WHEN THE HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE, THAT'S ALL WE GOT WAS THAT THIS IS MY HOUSE.
BUT THERE WAS NOTHING EVER IN PAPER OR ANYTHING FOR HIM TO SAY THAT THAT WAS THEIR HOUSE.
SO THE TROUBLE WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE FIRE? IT WAS ACTUALLY THERE WAS SOME TROUBLE BEFORE THE FIRE.
OH, LONG, LONG BEFORE THAT POOR MAN, I GUESS WAS STUCK IN A BACK ROOM AND SHE HAD HIS UM, PARTIES AND SO FORTH WITH OTHER, OTHER PEOPLE HANGING OUT THERE, COMING IN AND OUTTA THE HOUSE.
SO IT WAS ALWAYS AN ONGOING HISTORY WITH THAT LOCATION.
DID YOU HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH ANY INDIVIDUAL OF THE OWNERS OR THIS INDIVIDUAL AFTER THE FIRE? JUST THE FEMALE THAT WAS, WAS SQUATTING IN THAT HOUSE.
AND DID YOU LOSE CONTACT? SHE DISAPPEARED HERE RECENTLY 'CAUSE SHE'S NOT HERE FOR NO SIR.
AND ALL THE OTHER INCIDENTS IN THIS PROPERTY WERE, ONCE IT BECAME VACATED THEN EVERYBODY WANTED TO GO AND, AND EVERYBODY WAS IN THERE, SIR.
SAME PEOPLE FROM THE AREA RUN INTO, WELL IT JUST DEPENDS.
WORD OF MOUTH, WORD OF MOUTH, UM, HARBOR FREIGHT, ALL THE MILITARY DRIVES JUST BACKSIDE OF THAT STREET.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 2 6 2 WINDGATE AVENUE.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? UM, I HAVE A QUESTION.
AND I, UM, SO YOU SAID THERE, THERE IS A CONTRACTOR THAT'S INTERESTED IN THIS PROPERTY.
WE'LL JUST WAIT, LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
YOU HAD A CONTACT IN, UH, LET'S SEE, 5 24 24? YES.
YOU HAD A CONTACT WITH, UH, GONZALEZ FOR 30 DAY REPAIR, AND THEN DOWN IN, UH, THAT WAS THE PREVIOUS OFFICER RIGHT.
WHO HAD THEIR CASE HAD CONTACT WITH THAT.
WELL, YOU HAVE A STOP WORK ORDER ON THAT PROPERTY, CORRECT? YES.
AND, UH, WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE REAR APPORTION ON, ON PHOTO NUMBER FIVE, THAT REAPPORTION THERE WAS FIRE DAMAGE.
IT WASN'T A A, THE ROOM STRETCHED OUT FURTHER AND IT WAS FIRE DAMAGE IN WHICH, UM, THAT PORTION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE WAS DEMOLISHED AND THE CITATION WAS ISSUED TO THE, TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.
THAT, AND THAT'S WHEN NO, THIS, THIS, THE CURRENT CURRENT, THERE IS A STOP WORK ORDER AND, UM, THERE WAS A STOP WORK ORDER AFTER CITATION WAS ISSUED ON THAT DAY.
BUT THEY HAVE PULLED THE PERMIT.
I HAVE, I, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS, THEY WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY, BUT THERE WAS A PERMIT CASE AND A CITATION WAS ISSUED AFTER YOU ISSUED A STOP WORK ORDER.
LET ME, LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT MY NOTES HERE JUST TO MAKE SURE.
25 WAS A STOP WORK ORDER ISSUED AND 5 29 YOU TALKED TO THE NEW OWNERS BECAUSE THERE, THERE WERE TWO CASES.
ONE WAS THE PERMIT CASE, WHICH HAD THE STOP WORK ORDER.
AND THE, THE BSB CASE DIDN'T HAVE THE, IT DIDN'T STOP, IT WASN'T A STOP WORK ORDER ON THAT.
AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THEY WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT.
I THOUGHT WHENEVER YOU HAD A STOP WORK ORDER, IT STOPS EVERYTHING.
IS THAT NOT TRUE? I'LL REFER THAT TO THE STAFF.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, WE DO HAVE TO ENSURE THAT A LOCK IS PUT ON THE CASE OR PUT ON THE ADDRESS.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT'LL PREVENT A PERMIT FROM BEING PULLED.
UM, ESPECIALLY FOR ONLINE PERMITS.
IF THERE'S AN AVAILABILITY FOR A PERMIT TO BE PULLED ONLINE, UH, THE CASE IS TYPICALLY LOCKED.
UM, IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS, WE'VE HAD SOME UPDATES TO HER SYSTEM WHERE UNFORTUNATELY, AND IT INADVERTENTLY UNLOCKED SOME LOCKED CASES.
SO THAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED ON THIS, UH, PARTICULAR INSTANCE.
I, I WOULDN'T KNOW UNTIL WE DUG INTO IT TO SEE WHERE THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED.
BUT CASES THAT ARE COMING TO THE BOARD, WE TYPICALLY LOCK THEM.
AND WHEN THEY'RE LOCKED ON THE SYSTEM, A PERMIT CANNOT BE PULLED AT THAT TIME.
SO IN THIS CASE, IT FELL THROUGH THE CRACK AND A PERMIT WAS ISSUED? POTENTIALLY, YES.
IF WE NEED TO CANCEL A PERMIT, THAT CAN BE DONE THOUGH.
I, I'M JUST, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE FROM 5 21, IF THERE WAS A LOCK ON IT, AND AS IT IDENTIFIES HERE IS A RED PLACE POSTED PLACE CARD POSTED, YET THEY PULL THE PERMIT FOR THE ROOF.
AND WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE? THEY MINOR REPAIR, MINOR REPAIRS.
WHEN YOU, UH, GOT AHOLD OF THE NEW OWNER, DOES THAT ALSO NOT, NOT, LET ME SEE IF I CAN REPHRASE THIS.
UM, MOST RULINGS WE GIVE ARE FOR THE LAY OF THE LAND.
SO IS DOES THAT NOT, THE PERMIT WOULD'VE TRANSFERRED OVER THE BLOCK? THE THE WORK ORDER WOULD'VE TRANSFERRED OVER, CORRECT.
IF THE SYSTEM WASN'T GLITCHED, CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT.
SO IT WOULD STILL BE WITH THE LAY OF THE LAND? YEAH, WE PUT IT, WE, THE LOCK WILL GET PUT ON THE ADDRESS, NOT ON.
A PARTICULAR APPLICANT, IT'S THE ADDRESS ITSELF.
SO WITH THE NEW OWNER, SHE'S ATTEMPTING TO BRING IT TO CODE.
WHICH IS WHAT THE OTHER ONE DIDN'T DO.
[01:15:01]
WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER.I ONLY, UH, HAD COMMUNICATION WITH MS. PETERS.
THE 10 DAY NOTICE EARLIER THAT WAS TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
YOUR FIRST, UH, I'M SORRY, 30 DAY NOTICE.
THE 30 DAY NOTICE FROM, FROM MY NOTES WERE ONLY ISSUED TO, UH, MS. SHARON PETERS.
AND THAT WAS ON, UH, GIVE ME A SECOND.
THAT WAS THE 29TH? NO, THE 29TH OF MAY IS WHEN I COMMUNICATED WITH HER.
24 24 IS WHEN YOU TALKED TO MS. GONZALEZ? UH, NO.
THAT MUST THAT WAS THE PREVIOUS OFFICER.
THE OTHER OFFICER TALKED TO HER ON THAT TIME? YES.
AND WHEN YOU GOT THE CASE? YES, SIR.
WHEN YOU GOT THE CASE, EXCUSE ME, CHAIR IS WHEN YOU TALKED TO, GO AHEAD.
WE'LL NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER FIVE MINUTE BREAK DUE TO THE COMPUTER RESTARTING ONCE MORE.
THE COMPUTER NEEDS FOR BREAK AND WE WILL RECONVENE AND WE WILL RESUME.
WE WILL DO THIS UNTIL IT GOES OUT AGAIN.
UM, NOW THE QUESTION RELATED TO YOU, AND YOU ANSWERED IT, IS, UM, YOU'RE GIVING US ANOTHER OFFICERS AND IT DOESN'T DEFLECT IN HERE IN THE NOTES THAT YOU HAVE TOOK OVER THE CASE.
THAT'S WHY I SAY, WELL, IF YOU TALKED TO, BUT YOU DIDN'T TALK TO IT WITH THE OTHER OFFICER.
WHEN I, MY NORMAL PRACTICE, WHEN I GRAB A CASE, UH, IF I'M TOLD TO RESTART THE CASE THAT A PREVIOUS OFFICER HAD, I WILL LOOK THROUGH THE INVESTIGATION, THROUGH THE NOTES AND THEN I WILL TRANSCRIBE IT OVER INTO THE, THE NOTE COLUMN.
AND IF YOU SEE ON THE INSPECTION TAB, IT DOES SAY FALSE.
THAT MEANS THAT I DIDN'T ACTUALLY MAKE THAT LOCATION, I DIDN'T MAKE THAT, THAT CONTACT, BUT IT WAS WHAT THE PREVIOUS OFFICER DID DO.
UM, MY ONLY COMMUNICATION WHEN I HAD THIS CASE WAS WITH MS. PETERS.
YEAH, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
'CAUSE THE OTHER NOTE AT THE TOP, IT MAKES IT REFER LIKE YOU TALK TO THE INDIVIDUAL.
SO CORRECT THAT AND THEN I'LL ADD SOME STUFF IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PART.
WHEN WE HEAR ALL THE CASES, UM, WHEN YOU MADE THE SCENE OR YOU HAVEN'T MADE THE SCENE, CORRECT? RIGHT.
YOU JUST STATE YOU HAVE NOT MADE THE SCENE.
I YOU JUST RECEIVED A, UM, NO, HE GOT IT IN 2024.
WHEN I, WHEN I DID ARRIVE AT THE LOCATION, I WAS, I WAS TOLD TO GO TO THE LOCATION, UH, JUST TO INSPECT, UH, IT WAS A FIRE DAMAGE.
AND I, WHEN I MADE THE LOCATION, I DID MY DP ASSESSMENT, MY DANGEROUS PREMISE ASSESSMENT.
AND SO WHEN YOU MADE YOUR DP, UM, IS IT STILL SHOWING THE SIGNS OF GRAS OR NO, WHAT HAPPENED IS, AFTER I WOULD SAY, I'M GONNA REFER TO MY NOTES, I WOULD SAY MAYBE MORE THAN PROBABLY ABOUT SIX, MORE THAN SIX MONTHS AGO, THERE WERE NO MORE, UH, VAGRANT.
IT WOULD BE LIKE A SPORADIC PERSON, UH, JUST SQUATTING ON THE SIDE UNDER THE CARPORT AREA WHEN I MADE THE LOCATION.
YOU CAN JUST SEE EVIDENCE, BUT YOU WOULDN'T SEE AN ACTUAL INDIVIDUAL THERE.
SO YOUR CONVERSATION WITH THE NEW OWNER HAS BEEN POSITIVE? VERY POSITIVE, YES.
MR. CHAIR, THIS IS LEO, LEO FOR CLARIFICATION.
UM, OFFICER THERE ISN'T A NEW OWNER.
THE OWNER THAT YOU'VE BEEN DEALING WITH IS, IS THE CONSISTENT OWNER THE ENTIRE TIME.
UH, THERE'S ONLY ONE OWNER THAT I WAS AWARE OF.
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THAT NOTE WHERE YOU SEE THE OTHER NAME OF MS. GONZALEZ ABOVE THAT, THERE IS WHERE THE NOTICE WAS SENT TO THE ONLY OWNER THAT I KNOW THAT'S ON RECORD, MS. SHARON PIERCE.
AND, AND REAL QUICK FOR CLARIFICATION, WHO IS SHANTI GONZALEZ AT, AT THIS TIME? I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT INDIVIDUAL IS.
I DO KNOW THAT IN MY INVESTIGATION, THE OFFICER DID STATE THAT THEY SPOKE TO A MS. SHANTI GONZALEZ.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS, UH, UH, ONE OF THE VAGRANTS AT THE PROPERTY.
MAYBE THEY WERE TRYING TO OBTAIN SOME INFORMATION TO SEE IF THEY CAN OFFER SERVICES, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT INDIVIDUAL IS.
WELL, THE REASON I WAS ASKING THAT COUNSEL, 'CAUSE IT DOES SHOW THAT THE PREVIOUS OFFICER DID TALK TO THIS PERSON FOR A 30 DAY NOTICE AND THE NOTICE WAS NOT COMPLIED WITH.
UM, I, BUT I DO, I DID WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RECORD WAS CLEAR THAT, UM, AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN, UM, IT CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT AT NO POINT IN TIME, UH, THE PROPERTY OWNER WAS CONSISTENT THE ENTIRE TIME.
SO THAT, THAT'S, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RECORD WAS CLEAR ON THAT.
WELL, THAT, THAT CLEARS THAT UP BECAUSE I WAS ASSUMING THAT THE PROPERTY HAD TRANSFERRED HAND.
UH, ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE STAFF? THANK
[01:20:01]
YOU.AND WE WILL NOW HAVE THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
UH, PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND THE COUNCIL DISTRICT YOU'RE RESIDING OR CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME TODAY.
I AM THE PRESIDENT OF SHARON PETERS REAL ESTATE INC.
WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING IS I DO FIX UP HOMES THAT I PURCHASE IT FORECLOSURE.
UH, MY, UH, MAILING ADDRESS IS 300 VACA ROAD, SAN MARCOS, TEXAS 7 8 6 6 6.
NOW FOR THE RECORD, IT SAYS IN HERE THAT YOUR DISTRICT, SO YOUR DISTRICT WOULD BE IT IS, IS DIXON RIGHT? OF THE HOUSE, RIGHT.
SO THIS WOULD BE DIXON, RIGHT? THAT'S THE CASE WE'RE ON? NO.
WHY, WHY DISTRICT THREE? SO IT'D BE DISTRICT, UH, FIVE.
THE PROPERTY ISN'T DISTRICT FIVE.
YEAH, THEY CHANGED THE FORMAT ON US, SO WE HAVE TO INSTEAD OF GIVING, SO, SO, UM, YOU'RE THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY NOW.
CAN YOU CLEAR SOME STUFF UP FOR IT? YES, PLEASE.
LET ME, LET ME EXPLAIN SOME OF THE, THE TIMELINE HERE.
UM, I PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY AT THE FORECLOSURE AUCTION WITH THE INTENT TO FIX IT UP.
IT IS A THREE BEDROOM, ONE BATH HOUSE.
AND THEN I FIXED UP WAY WORSE HOUSES THAN THIS.
UM, IT CERTAINLY HAS A VALUE AT THIS TIME.
AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASING THE PROPERTY, UM, THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
I QUICKLY DISCOVERED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GRA IN THE PROPERTY AND THERE WAS ALSO AN RV ON THE STREET, ON THE PUBLIC PROPERTY, NOT ON THE DRIVEWAY, BUT ON THE PUBLIC PROPERTY, WHICH, UM, MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO TRY TO GET CONTROL OF THAT AT THE BEGINNING.
AND SO I WAS FORCED TO, UH, YOU KNOW, MAKE COMPLAINTS TO THE CITY AND HOPEFULLY HAVE THEM TAG IT SO THEY COULD GET THAT REMOVED.
'CAUSE IT MADE HAR HARD TO GET THAT UNDER CONTROL UNTIL THAT RV WAS REMOVED, WHICH EVENTUALLY DID HAPPEN.
UM, ONCE THE RV WAS REMOVED, UH, MY GOAL, OF COURSE WAS, UH, 'CAUSE WHEN YOU DO HAVE A HOMELESS PRO PROBLEM, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SPEND MONEY ON A HOUSE UNTIL YOU GET THAT UNDER CONTROL, BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THERE WILL BE VANDALISM OCCURRING.
SO MY FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WAS TO, UM, SECURE THE PROPERTY, UH, CLEAN IT, ATTEMPT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SECURE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
UH, DURING THIS TIME, UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLE DID SET FIRE TO AN ACCESSORY AREA, UM, WHICH OF COURSE WAS, UH, A VERY DISCOURAGING THING FOR ME AND EVERYBODY INVOLVED.
I IMMEDIATELY, UM, SENT OUT PEOPLE TO SECURE THE PROPERTY AND CLEAN UP THE, UM, TO CLEAN UP THE AREA THAT WAS BURNED.
UM, SO OF COURSE I SECURE, YOU SEE THE PLYWOOD IN THE BACK THERE.
I SECURED, UH, THE BACK AREA WITH PLYWOOD.
UM, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES, YOU'LL SEE THE INTERIOR DOORS.
THERE'S LIKE A TWO BY FOUR THAT'S BEEN SCREWED ON TO PREVENT ENTRY.
DONE EVERYTHING I POSSIBLY COULD TO MAKE SURE THAT I COULD GET CONTROL OF THE HOMELESS SITUATION AND KEEP THE PROPERTY SECURED.
SO AGAIN, MY FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS WAS, UH, AFTER THE FIRE ON THE ACCESSORY AREA WAS SECURE IT, UM, CLEAN IT.
AND, AND, AND ALSO I ALSO HAD, BY THIS POINT A REGULAR MOWING, UH, SERVICE SCHEDULED TO MAINTAIN THE YARD, TO KEEP THAT UNDER CONTROL AS WELL, TO, YOU KNOW, FURTHER DISCOURAGE PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT SOMEBODY IS, IS TAKING CARE OF IT.
AROUND THE TIME THAT I WAS DEALING WITH ALL THAT, UH, MY DAD GOT CANCER WAS IN AND OUTTA THE HOSPITAL FOR A PERIOD OF MONTHS.
UM, AND I WAS DEAL HELPING TO DEAL WITH HIM AND MY MOTHER.
UM, HE ULTIMATELY PASSED AWAY, UH, WITHIN, UH, THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND, UH, WITHIN THIS YEAR.
AND, UH, I WAS LEFT AT AS EXECUTOR AS WELL AS MY MOM, WHO'S 79 AND HAS A BIPOLAR DISORDER.
SO THAT, YOU KNOW, TRIGGERED HER STRESS WITH HER BIPOLAR WHEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY.
UM, AND OF COURSE, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A VERY SAD SITUATION, HAS BEEN VERY STRESSFUL.
AND SO I'M ALSO A SINGLE MOM OF THREE KIDS.
AND I, AND I DO AM A SINGLE MOM OF THREE KIDS, HAVE ONE FROM SINCE 2012.
UM, AND, AND MAINTAINING MY BUSINESS, BUT ADDING THAT ON TOP OF MY DAD, PASSING AWAY AND MY ELDERLY MOM, UM, I DID GET TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS VERY OVERWHELMED.
UM, AND I DID, UM, IT, MY GOAL AT THAT TIME WAS TO MAINTAIN THE MOWING ON THIS PROPERTY, THE SECURITY ON THIS PROPERTY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A POSITION WHERE I COULD GET BACK AND, AND GET TO WORK AND FIX UP THIS PROPERTY.
UM, I WAS NOT AWARE THE CITY HAD CONCERNS.
'CAUSE AGAIN, UM, I BELIEVED I HAD PRETTY MUCH GOOD CONTROL OF THE, OF THE HOMELESS PEOPLE.
AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE.
WE'VE DONE MORE SECURING AND MAINTAINED THE MOWING, UM, UNTIL I HEARD AT THE END OF MAY, UM, FROM OFFICER BLEDSOE.
AND HE INFORMED ME THAT I WAS, UM, GIVEN A TICKET.
'CAUSE WHENEVER I CLEANED UP THE ACCESSORY PART THAT WAS BURNED, I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD TO HAVE A PERMIT 'CAUSE IT WAS LARGELY BURNED ANYWAY.
UH, BUT I SENT PEOPLE OVER TO LIKE CLEAN IT UP, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PERMIT, SO I WAS GIVEN A TICKET FOR THAT.
UM, AND I ACTUALLY DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS AN OFFICIAL STOP WORK ORDER.
I GUESS HE'S, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
BUT ANYWAY, UH, WHEN I WAS CONTACTED AT THE END OF MAY BY THE, UM, CITY STAFF, I PROMPTLY CALLED A CONTRACTOR WHO I'VE KNOWN FOR QUITE A WHILE AND, UH, AND MADE THIS ONE A PRIORITY.
I DID SIGN THE THING FOR THE CITY TO TAKE CARE OF THE GRAFFITI.
UM, I, I DID AGAIN, UH, HE SPOKE TO ME ON MAY 29TH.
[01:25:01]
AND BY SIX TWO, UM, MY CONTRACTOR WHO IS HERE TODAY HAD, UH, GONE IN TO SEE WHAT SHE COULD DO TO ACQUIRE THE BUILDING PERMITS, WHICH WE NOW HAVE.UM, WHICH INCLUDES THE 'CAUSE.
HE SAID I WOULD, I COULD GET THE DEMO AFTER THE, EVEN THOUGH WE'D ALREADY DEMO, I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD TO HAVE THE PERMIT, BUT I WOULD STILL NEED TO GET THE PERMIT.
SO WHEN SHE WENT IN, SHE FOUND OUT THAT BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN A FIRE ON THE PROPERTY, THERE HAD TO BE A FIRE ASSESSMENT.
UM, SO THEY WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO GIVE HER THE REROOF PERMIT ON SIX TWO, WHICH WAS ISSUED.
AND SHE ASKED THEM, AND THEY TOLD HER, I GUESS THERE WAS A STOP, BUT THEY COULDN'T UNSTOP IT UNTIL FOR THE BUILDING PERMIT, UNTIL THE FIRE ASSESSMENT WAS DONE.
SO SHE GOT THE FIRE ASSESSMENT COMPLETED, WHICH TOOK ABOUT TWO WEEKS JUST COORDINATING AND HAVING ALL THAT THAT IS NOW COMPLETE.
AND AFTER THE FIRE ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETED, UM, THEY WERE ABLE TO ISSUE THE BUILDING PERMIT ON JUNE 26TH.
AND SO, UM, SO BASICALLY IN THE PERIOD OF, OF ONE MONTH, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO, UM, GET THE GRAFFITI REMEDIED, HIRE A CONTRACTOR, COMPLETE THE FIRE REPORT WITH THE CITY, AND PULL PERMITS FOR BOTH THE ROOF BUILDING AND ROOF.
UM, WHICH AGAIN, THE STOP WORK ORDER WAS, WAS ACTUALLY MIA THINKING I WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING BY, BY CLEANING UP THE BURNED AREA.
SO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW THAT I HAD TO HAVE A PERMIT FOR, UM, FOR BASICALLY CLEANING UP AN AREA THAT HAD BURNED.
SO I, I KNOW I HAVE PRO PROVIDED PROOF OF FUNDS THAT I CAN DO THIS.
UM, AND I'VE DONE THIS MANY TIMES.
THIS IS THE BUSINESS THAT I AM IN.
AND NOW THAT I KNOW THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR THE CITY, I'M ABLE TO MAKE THIS A PRIORITY.
AND HOPEFULLY, UM, YOU'LL UNDER, YOU CAN SEE THAT I'M MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND THAT I AM IN THIS BUSINESS, I AM A REAL ESTATE BROKER, AND THAT I CAN GET THIS DONE AND MY CONTRACTOR IS HERE AND SHE CAN SPEAK TO WHAT SHE HAS DONE ALREADY TO GET THIS PROPERTY MOVING FORWARD.
UH, CAN WE PUT THE DOCUMENTS BACK UP? WHILE, WHILE YOU WERE DOING THAT, CAN I ASK YOU, UH, AGAIN, THE DATE OF YOUR PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERTY? IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
I'M THE YEAR IS WHEN I NEEDED ONE SECOND.
UM, BUT AGAIN, I UM, I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF PERSONAL THINGS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD THAT'S MADE IT, UH, THAT'S KIND OF EXTENDED MY USUAL TIMEFRAME.
AND NOW THAT I KNOW THAT THIS IS A BIG CONCERN, I AM DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.
I'M JUST LOOKING FOR THE SCOPE OF WORK.
YOU WILL SEE THE DEMOLITION ON THE TOP OF THAT BUILDING PERMIT THOUGH TOO.
BUT SCOPE OF WORK IS ON THE FIRST PAGE.
WELL, THIS IS PART OF YOUR SCOPE OF WORK TOO.
I SAW YOUR FINANCIAL SHEET AND YOU SAID THE SCOPE OF WORK IS ON THE FIRST ONE RIGHT THERE.
WE WERE TRYING TO INCLUDE, WE HAD THE PER, LIKE, THE THING THAT WE WERE GIVEN, IT DOESN'T SAY THE BREAKDOWN OF A COST PER ITEM.
'CAUSE IT DIDN'T SAY THAT ON THE INSTRUCTIONS.
WELL, THAT, THAT'S ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS THE ITEMIZED.
IT WASN'T ON MY INSTRUCTIONS ACTUALLY.
UM, I MEAN WE DID, WE DO HAVE TRY TO ITEMIZE, BUT I DIDN'T ITEMIZE THE PRICE ESSENTIALLY.
IT SAYS THE CONTRACTOR THAT WILL PERFORM THE WORK, THE REPAIRS, THE CONTRACT WILL COMPLETE A TIMELINE OF HOW LONG WE'LL TAKE TO CORRECT THE DEFICIENCIES AND PROOF THAT FUND FUNDING IS AVAILABLE.
WELL, IT SAYS RIGHT HERE PROVIDE THE DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK WITH THE COST OF EACH ITEM.
I'M NOT, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THIS.
I WAS GIVEN, BUT YEAH, I SAW ACTUALLY WHENEVER Y'ALL HAD IT UP THERE, I WAS LIKE, I I IT ALSO IN, UH, CODE WILL ALSO REQUIRE A ENGINEER'S REPORT.
WELL ACTUALLY OFFICER BLEDSOE SAID BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T SEE A FOUNDATION ISSUE THAT THAT WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED NOW ON.
AND I, I'M HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE WHATEVER Y'ALL NEED.
ON THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT YOU GUYS HAVE DONE.
OR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU STARTED YET.
WELL, I, WE JUST GOT THE PERMIT ON THE 26TH AND WE HAD THIS HEARING.
SO, SO ON THE SCOPE OF WORK, UM, FOR ALL OF IT, WHAT IS YOUR, OR SHOULD I BE ASKING YOUR CONTRACT FOR THAT? WHAT IS YOUR TIMELINE? WELL, WE PUT ON THERE, SHE, UH, SHE PUT ON THERE SIX MONTHS.
SHE SAYS TYPICALLY WITH BUILDING PERMITS, WE HAVE A YEAR.
AND SHE SAID THAT SHE THINKS WE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING COMPLETE, BUT THAT'S OF COURSE AN ESTIMATED TIMELINE FOR DOING EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, THE PLUMBING, THE ELECTRICAL AND OFFICER BLOOD.
SO IT SAYS, EXPLAINING TO ME THIS MORNING THAT THIS CAN GET OFF IF WE CAN DO THE OUTSIDE SECURITY AND THINGS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE.
AND MIND YOU, YOU ONLY HAVE TO BRING IT UP TO CODE.
WE'RE NOT MAKING IT TAJ MAHAL, WE JUST NEED IT UP TO CODE.
THE REST YOU CAN DO AFTER AS LONG AS IT'S TO THE CODE OF THE CITY.
OFFICER BLEDSO, I'VE NEVER BEEN IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD BEFORE.
SO OFFICER BSO HAS EXPLAINED TO ME TODAY THAT IT HAS TO DO THAT.
THE REQUIREMENT IS NOT THE FULL LIGHT FIXTURES AND CABINETS AND ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF.
UM, YOU, YOU CAN DO THE FULL REMODEL, WHATEVER IT IS AFTER.
BUT AS LONG AS IT'S BROUGHT TO CODE THEN.
SO I BELIEVE THAT THE, GETTING THE OUTSIDE, YOU KNOW, THE REROOF, THE SIDING, REPAIR THE REROOF AND THAT CAN BE DONE MUCH QUICKER THAN A SIX MONTH ESTIMATE, I WOULD SAY.
[01:30:02]
THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT YOU, WHAT ARE THE OTHER, MAYBE I SHOULD BE ASKING THE CONTRACTOR, BUT THE OTHER CONTRACTS, I MEAN THE OTHER, UH, PERMITS YOU NEED, WHICH ONES ARE THEY? UM, WELL TO, TO JUST GET THE OUTSIDE TO CODE WHERE I THINK GET OFF OF THIS.I DON'T KNOW IF I NEED ANY OTHERS.
'CAUSE I KNOW I'M GONNA EVENTUALLY NEED, I'M SURE A PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL PERMIT, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M GONNA NEED THAT TO SATISFY THIS, THIS WORK.
YOU HAVE ROOFING, RIGHT? YEAH, I HAVE A ROOF PERMIT ALREADY.
DID YOU PULL THE, UH, DEMOLITION, THAT'S PART OF THE ONE UP THERE ON THE TOP OF SCOPE OF WORK ON THE BUILDING PERMIT THAT WAS PULLED ON.
6 26 SAYS DEMOLITION ATTACHED FIRE DAMAGE.
WELL THAT'S A, THAT'S A DIFFERENT DEMOLITION.
FIRE DEMOLITION WOULD BE A DIFFERENT DEMOLITION FROM AN INTERIOR DEMOLITION.
WELL, AGAIN, I I THINK YOU ARE.
GET BACK TO THE, TO THE CONTRACTOR.
AND YOU GOT YOUR FIRE ASSESSMENT.
THAT FIRE ASSESSMENT IS COMPLETE.
THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO GET THE BUILDING PERMIT UNTIL THE FIRE ASSESSMENT WAS COMPLETE.
AND THAT TOOK ABOUT TWO WEEKS.
SO IF YOU GOT IT TODAY AND EVERYTHING GOES THROUGH, 'CAUSE WE GOTTA DO ALL THE PAPERWORK AND THE COURT ORDER SIGNS AND ALL THAT.
YEAH, YOU COULD, I MEAN, A TIMELINE IS IS LESS THAN SIX MONTHS.
WHAT ARE WE TALKING THREE? WELL, IF IT'S CORRECT, I MEAN, AGAIN, I, OFFICER B BLESSED ALWAYS, JUST EXPLAIN THIS TO ME TODAY.
IF IT'S, IF IT'S NOT HAVING LIGHT FIXTURES AND CABINETS AND THAT SORT OF THING, IF IT'S, IF IT'S, YOU KNOW, REPAIRING SIDING AND WINDOWS AND THE ROOF, I THINK THREE MONTHS IS VERY REASONABLE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO OTHER QUESTIONS.
YOU THINK FOR THE CONTRACTOR? YEAH, SHE'S HERE.
YEAH, I, I'VE GOT ALL THE INFORMATION.
THE ONLY ADDITIONAL PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK WAS MONICA LEOS THE CONTRACTOR.
YOU, YOU WISH TO, OR, UM, IF YOU NEED THE INFO, I THINK WE PRETTY MUCH GOT EVERYTHING WE NEED.
UNLESS YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING TO IT THAT'S, I DON'T WANT TO CHIP ANYBODY A DUE PROCESS.
UH, ON THE, UH, WE DIDN'T GET A DEMO.
GOTTA WAIT UNTIL YOU GET HER NAME.
AND, AND YOU'RE IN SAN MARCOS TOO? NO, I'M, I AM BEAR COUNTY.
THEN YOU NEED TO GIVE THE, YOUR NAME AND THE COUNCIL DISTRICT YOU, I GUESS LIVING IN OR IF YOU WORK, UH, IF YOU LIVE IN I DON'T, I I LIVE IN BE COUNTY.
NOW, MR. CHAIR, SHE, IF SHE'D LIKE TO, SHE CAN USE HER, UM, UH, PROFESSIONAL ADDRESS.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT DISTRICT THAT IS.
UM, BUT I AM A, A CITY OF SAN ANTONIO LICENSED BUILDING CONTRACTOR.
UM, AND I'VE WORKED WITH MS. PETERS ON, UH, SEVERAL HOMES NOW.
AND, UM, THIS IS ONE THAT, UH, IT WAS, UH, A, A, A FIRE.
SO IT WAS NEW, NOT LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER ONES.
AND I DID ASK ABOUT GETTING A DEMOLITION PERMIT AND THEY SAID THAT THIS DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THAT A DEMO PERMIT IS LIKE FOR THE TOTAL PROPERTY AND THAT I JUST NEEDED TO INCLUDE DEMOLITION IN OBTAINING, UM, WITH THIS PERMIT.
SO THEY SAID, UH, THE, WHOEVER I SPOKE TO AT THE CITY SAID I DIDN'T NEED TO PULL A DEMO PERMIT, UH, THAT I JUST NEEDED TO INCLUDE THE WORDING IN THIS PERMIT, IN THE BUILDING PERMIT BECAUSE IT WASN'T A TOTAL DEMO.
AND SO IT WAS THAT THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED A REPAIR.
AND THEN THAT, UM, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WAS NON PERMITTED.
SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO, UH, REPLACE BECAUSE IT WASN'T PERMITTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND SO WE'RE NOT DOING AN ADDITION.
SO THAT'S WHY WE, UH, YOU KNOW, LEFT THAT PART OFF.
AND THEN I DID HAVE TO SUBMIT ADDITIONAL, LIKE CLARIFICATION TO THE CITY IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THIS PERMIT BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME KIND OF CONFUSION WITH THAT, UM, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND HOW IT BURNED AND HOW IT TIED INTO THIS WHOLE PROPERTY.
BUT THAT WAS LIKE AN ADDITION THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD DID AT SOME POINT IN TIME.
UM, THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE ORIGINAL PROPERTY.
ALRIGHT, LET ME, LET ME, LET ME, 'CAUSE I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
OKAY, LET ME ASK THE STAFF THIS.
THERE SEEMS TO BE A DIFFERENT DEFINITION GIVEN WHEN I GO AND GET A PERMIT TO DEMO AN INTERIOR, WHICH IS REQUIRED WHEN YOU'RE DOING WINDOWS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND THEN YOU'RE DOING A FIRE DAMAGE DEMOLITION.
IS THAT THE SAME? YOU'RE JUST PUTTING DIFFERENT WORDS IN IT.
'CAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DEMOLITION,
[01:35:02]
UH, PERMIT TO DO EVEN INTERIOR IF YOU'RE REGUTTING WALLS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.YEAH, SO WE DO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN GUTTING AND DEMOLISHING WHEN WE'RE TALKING IN OUR WORLD.
DEMOLISHING IS WHEN YOU'RE GONNA REMOVE FOUNDATIONS ALL THE WAY DOWN.
IF YOU'RE JUST GOING DOWN TO THE STUDS THAT IS REPAIR READY OR REPLACEMENT REPAIR REPLACEMENT, WE DON'T USUALLY EQUATE DEMOLITION IF YOU'RE JUST GOING DOWN TO THE STUDS, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY GUTTING THE INTERIOR.
SO SHE'S GOT HER PERMIT, BUT IF IT WAS NOT PERMITTED AT THE TIME THAT THE, THE STRUCTURE THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE, THE ACCESSORY WAS NOT PERMITTED, WOULD THAT NOT HAVE TO BE DEMOLISHED AND THEN REBUILT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PERMITTED OR POTENTIALLY, I DON'T KNOW THE SIZE OF THAT STRUCTURE.
I APOLOGIZE ON THAT ACCESSORY.
YOU WERE TALKING THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THIS IS THE ADD-ON THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ROOM ADDITION.
SO THE OKAY, THE ADDITION TO THE, TO THE MAIN YEAH, IT WOULD REQUIRE, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PERMITTED BEFORE, IT REQUIRE A FULL DEMOLISH AND THEN A REBUILD OF THAT PARTICULAR PART.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF W WHAT LEVEL OF EVALUATION OCCURRED WITH THAT.
IF THERE WAS AN EVALUATION THAT DOES A FIRE USUALLY DOES ALSO REQUIRE AN EVALUATION OF WHAT TYPE OF WORK IS GONNA NEED TO BE DONE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS DOCUMENTED THAT THAT OCCURRED.
UM, OUR BILLING INSPECTORS USUALLY DO, UH, MAKE A VISIT TO THESE PROPERTIES IF WE HAVE IT ON RECORD THAT A FIRE DID OCCUR.
I JUST, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD'VE EVALUATED AS OR WHAT THAT EVALUATION OF A LOOK AT.
SO IF THEY TOLD HER SHE DID NOT NEED TO DEMOLISH IT, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT CONVERSATION WOULD'VE SPECIFICALLY REFERRED TO.
C CAN WE HAVE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT PHOTO IT IS.
HOLD ON, WHAT DO YOU WANT THE PHOTO OF THE BACK PART THAT CAUGHT ON FIRE WITH ALL THAT PLYWOOD IS CORRECT.
UM, IS THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? YEAH.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE, IT'S LIKE THEY HAD ADDED ONTO THE HOUSE.
UM, THEY ADDED ONTO THE ORIGINAL HOUSE, BUT THAT AREA AND, AND THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING IS, AND THAT'S WHAT BURNT DOWN THAT AND THAT WASN'T PERMIT OR THAT THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND THAT, THAT'S I'M SAYING IF IT WAS NEVER PERMITTED BEFORE, BUT WE'RE NOT PUTTING THAT YEAH.
THEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO IF IT'S NOT PERMITTED, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEMOLISHED AND THEN REBUILT TO PERMIT TO CODE.
NOT NECESSARILY, NOT NECESSARILY COMPLETELY DEMO DEMOLISHED BUT BROUGHT UP TO CODE.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S UP TO THE OWNER IF THEY WANT, IF IT TAKE, IN SOME INSTANCES IT MAY BE CHEAPER TO TAKE IT DOWN ALL THE WAY AND THEN REBUILD IT.
IT, THAT'S UP TO THEM ON HOW THEY BRING IT UP TO CODE.
IT DOES NEED TO BE BROUGHT UP TO CODE THOUGH.
SO THIS, THIS IS THE PIECE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? YES.
NOW THEY TOLD YOU HOW MUCH OF THIS NEEDS TO BE REDONE ON, ON THE ADDITION? YEAH.
WE'RE, WE'RE NOT, UH, DOING THE ADDITION.
WE'RE ONLY, UH, GOING TO DO THE ORIGINAL HOUSE.
WE'RE NOT, BECAUSE SINCE IT WAS NEVER PERMITTED THEN THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ADDITION.
BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA DO AN ADDITION BECAUSE, UH, AND WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT GONNA FIX THIS BECAUSE THEN IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ADDITION.
THE HOUSE YOU'RE GOING THE HOUSE, THAT PORTION OF THE HOUSE OR THAT PORTION? IT IT'S ALREADY, IT'S ALREADY GONE.
SO THERE'S YEAH THERE THAT IT'S ALREADY DOWN.
IT'S ALREADY, IT'S ALREADY DOWN.
THERE'S LIKE, THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
I, I, THAT'S WHAT'S CONFUSING ME IS BECAUSE THEY'RE SAYING YOU DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT.
THAT IT WAS OKAY LIKE THIS AND YOU JUST ADD TO WHATEVER AND MAKE IT BRAND NEW AND IT WOULD BE UP TO CODE.
YOU GUYS WENT AHEAD AND THE MUS SO THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING 'CAUSE NORMALLY YEAH, 'CAUSE IT BURNT AND IT WASN'T PERMITTED ANYWAYS.
SO THE ROOF UP TO THIS POINT HERE IS ALREADY PATCHED, CORRECTED AND NO, NO, NO, BECAUSE WE JUST GOT, WE JUST GOT EVERYTHING ON THE 26TH FOR THE, UH, BUILDING PERMIT AND THEN WE NEEDED TO KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE PROCEDURES WERE HERE BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD.
BUT AS SOON AS WE GET THE OKAY, WE CAN START TOMORROW.
WELL, YOU REALLY CAN'T, BUT
WE GOT A FEW ORDERS WE HAVE TO SIGN AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT ABOUT 30 DAYS? OH, UH, YEAH, FOR SURE.
SO, AND YOU GOT ALL THE PERMITS READY TO GO, YOU GOT CREWS, EVERYTHING.
UH, I HAVE CREWS READY TO GO, SO I, I WORK WITH THE SAME ELECTRICIANS, PLUMBERS, FOUNDATION, ROOF, PAINT, UH, CABINET, EVERYTHING.
[01:40:01]
OKAY.AND THEN THEY'LL START PULLING ELECTRICAL, HVAC, UH, PLUMBING AND, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, WE COULD SEND THE GUYS FOR THE EXTERIOR TO GET ALL THAT DONE.
SO, SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT 90 DAYS.
ALRIGHT, I GUESS ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
UM, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
I MOVE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2 6 2 WINGATE AVENUE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57.
BUT THE PROPERTY IS FEASIBLE BUT BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IT IS REM IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57 SUB CODES 1, 2, 5 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, THAT THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE REPAIRED IN 90 DAYS WITH ALL PERMITS REQUIRED DRAWN BEFORE WORK BEGINS.

I HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT THEY, THE CODE GETS A REPORT EVERY 30 DAYS SO THAT WAY IF THEY NEED ADDITIONAL TIME AND THEY'RE WORKING IT, THEN CODE CAN DETERMINE THAT FRIENDLY AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.
SO FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IS EVERY 30 DAYS CODE WILL BE NOTIFIED AND WILL ADJUST IF NEEDED.
UM, MR. CHAIR, JUST TO GO AHEAD LEE, FOR CLARIFICATION.
ARE YOU ASKING FOR A STATUS REPORT EVERY 30 DAYS? NO.
THEM JUST THE, IF THEY EVERY 30 DAYS THEY, YEAH, I GUESS IT WOULD BE STAFFED THERE.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I I I WANT TO, I WANT TO DRAFT THE ORDER.
SO I'M GOING TO UH, BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, IT'S GOING TO BE A STATUS REPORT EVERY 30 DAYS.
AND THEN IF CODE IS, IF THEY'RE MAKING PROGRESS AND CODE CAN MAKE THE DETERMINATION IF THEY NEED TO GO LONGER THAN 30 90, WOULD IT HAVE TO COME BACK OR NO? UH, CODE MAKES THAT DETERMINATION.
UM, THE ORDER'S NOT GOING TO STATE RIGHT.
STATE THAT IT'S JUST, IT'S GOING TO BE A 90 DAY REPAIR ORDER.
30 DAYS STASH REPORTS AND REPAIRS PULLED AND THEN IF YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR DETERMINATION THEN ALL RIGHT, SO WE HAVE A UH, 90 DAYS WITH A 30 DAY, UH, STAFF REPORT AND WE HAVE A SECOND.

UH, THE SHED WAS BUILT IN 1950.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE WAS DEMOLISHED ON JUNE 11TH, 2024 DUE TO A MAJOR FIRE THAT OCCURRED AND DURING THAT TIME THAT ACCESS, THAT MAIN STRUCTURE WAS UH, VACANT.
HOWEVER THE FIRE DID OCCUR ON THAT DATE.

TRASH AND DEBRIS HAVE ARE PILED UP INSIDE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THIS IS, THIS IS A PHOTO TAKEN FROM, UM, THE FRONT ENTRANCE WHICH SHOWS THE DEBRIS TRASH PILED UP NOW WAS KIND OF DIFFICULT TO MAKE A FULL ASSESSMENT OF THE INTERIOR DUE TO THESE, TO THE ISSUE.
JUST ANOTHER VIEW FOR THE INTERIOR.
ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS DETERIORATED.
IT'S IN A DETERIORATED CONDITION.
THE RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY HAS A GABLE METAL ROOF SYSTEM THAT SITS ON SLAB.

MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF 5 2 0 MOTION PASSES AND THAT'S THE LAST CASE, CORRECT? STAFF ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES.
COUNSEL, THE ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES.
THE COMPUTER MAY RESTART AGAIN.
SO I JUST WANTED TO QUICKLY MENTION THAT WE, UM, HAVE THREE REAPPOINTMENT MEMOS, UM, THAT WERE SUBMITTED.
SCHEDULED TO BE, UM, ON THE AGENDA FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL ON AUGUST 7TH.
AND THOSE REAPPOINTMENT MEMOS ARE FOR JOE SOLIS, DR. LINDA LOPEZ RODRIGUEZ, AND KAYLA MIRANDA.
PAUL HERNANDEZ HAS BEEN REAPPOINTED, HIS, UH, REAPPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED AND APPROVED ON JUNE 12TH.
UH, CAN I PUT THIS OUT FOR STAFF? WHENEVER WE GET CASES LIKE THE ONE WE JUST HAD, I WAS ASSUMING THAT THAT OFFICER WAS THE ONE WHO BEGINNING TO THE END AND COME TO FIND OUT HE TOOK OVER THE CASE.
CAN WE HAVE LIKE A FOOTNOTE IN THERE SOMEWHERE SAYING, OR THEM VERBALLY SAYING, HEY, I'M, I'M PUTTING THE CASE FORTH BUT I DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE.
WHEN THEY DO THE SWITCH, IS THAT POSSIBLE FOR US TO KNOW? BECAUSE IT KIND OF CONFUSED ME WHEN HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE OTHER PERSON WAS BEING TALKED TO BY THE OTHER, UH, CODE OFFICER.
WELL, TO, TO BE FAIR, UM, THAT OTHER PERSON HE SPOKE TO, HE SPOKE TO THAT OTHER PERSON.
UH, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, AND AND JENNY CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, THEIR NOTES ARE PRETTY MUCH GONNA START WHERE THEY STARTED HANDLING THE CASE.
UM, WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN ASK THE CODE OFFICER IF THERE IS ONE, DID HE TAKE OVER? YEAH.
I MEAN THAT COULD BE ALSO A QUESTION THAT YOU GUYS ASK.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE STANDARD.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE THAT UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE GONNA NECESSARILY REQUIRE 'EM OF THAT, BUT WE CAN AT LEAST TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE CLARIFYING IF THEY TOOK OVER OVER THE PROPERTY.
'CAUSE WE'VE HAD SOME THAT HAVE DONE THAT.
THEY PRESENTED THE CASE BUT THEY DIDN'T DO THE INVESTIGATING PART, SO THEY WERE KIND OF CONFUSED ON SOME OF THE NOTES.
SO I, AND, AND I DON'T LIKE DOING THAT BECAUSE IT KIND OF THROWS EVERYBODY LIKE, WAIT A MINUTE HERE.
SO IF WE CAN KIND OF CLEAR THAT UP, WE, SO WE, WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN OUR SOP OR OUR GUIDELINES, BUT WHAT WE DO REQUIRE OF OUR STAFF TO DO, WE DO HAVE TURNOVER.
IT DOES HAVE, WE DO HAVE STAFF CHANGING DISTRICTS FROM TIME TO TIME.
WHAT WE DO REQUIRE THE STAFF TO DO IS TO OWN THE CASE.
SO THERE ARE NOTES THAT THEY'RE COPYING OVER JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE A CASE IF THEY TAKE A CASE OVER AND START ALL OVER.
SO THEY ARE GRABBING NOTES THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE ORIGINALLY ENTERED.
UM, WHERE IT'S POSSIBLE WE'LL ASK THEM TO, YOU KNOW, PUT THE POINT OF WHEN THEY TOOK OVER.
BUT I CAN'T PROMISE IT'S GONNA HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE TIME BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF THESE CASES, IN SOME INSTANCES CHANGE HANDS TWO OR THREE TIMES.
UM, WE'VE JUST HAD QUITE A BIT OF TURNOVER THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE LAST
[02:10:01]
COUPLE OF YEARS.BUT, UH, WE, WE CAN WORK ON IT FROM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND THEY WON'T HESITATE TO MENTION IT IF THERE'S SOMETHING THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR.
SO IT'S NOT MEANT TO MISLEAD OR, OR CONFUSE IN ANY INSTANCE, BUT IF WE CAN CLARIFY THAT, WE WE CERTAINLY WILL.
'CAUSE THERE ARE SOME TIMES THAT WE KIND OF GET CAUGHT WITH A, WAIT A MINUTE, YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE CASE.
WHAT ABOUT LIKE, SOME OF THE NOTES BEFORE WE HAD TO ASK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WELL, WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT NOTE? NOBODY SEEMS TO REMEMBER FROM THAT BEFORE.
SO IT KIND OF CLEARS IT UP FOR EVERYBODY TO INCLUDE THE, TO INCLUDE THE PERSON WHO HAS TO DEFEND THE PROPERTY.
AND I SEE THE THING WENT OUT AGAIN, JUST ON A GOOD NOTE.
AND WITH THAT, UM, YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD 4TH OF JULY AND Y'ALL CAN HAVE THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF.
'CAUSE SOME OF YOU'RE ON VACATION.
ANYWAY, THE COMPUTER ALREADY LEFT.
SO BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY INPUT.
OH, THANK YOU FOR SITTING IN, UH, THAT WE ARE ADJOURNED.
