ABSOLUTELY. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME BOARD. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING. UM, I'M OFFICER JOHN GARCIA WITH THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT. I'VE BEEN A POLICE OFFICER 28 YEARS, AND I'VE BEEN PART OF OUR COMMUNITY POLICING UNIT FOR NINE YEARS. UM, THIS PARTICULAR STRUCTURE, I'VE BEEN, I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ONE OF THE RESIDENTS WHO WAS THERE AS OF ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, BACK IN, UM, DECEMBER 29TH, 2023. HE WAS CALLING ME ALMOST DAILY, WHICH, YOU KNOW, I RECEIVE A CITY PHONE AS A COMMUNITY POLICEMAN. AND I ASKED THE NEIGHBORS WHEN I INTRODUCED MYSELF TO THEM TO CALL ME WITH ANY ISSUES THAT THEY'RE HAVING IN THEIR AREA. UM, THIS PARTICULAR, THIS PARTICULAR HOUSE AND THE RESIDENTS WHO WERE THERE KIND OF MOVED FROM ONE, ONE RESIDENT WHO RESIDED THERE. HE INVITED THESE FOLKS OVER AND THEN HE ENDED UP LEAVING THE ORIGINAL, UH, RESIDENT. AND HE ALLOWED THESE OTHER FOLKS TO STAY HERE. BUT WHAT, WHAT THEY WERE DOING IS THEY WERE SELLING DRUGS OUT OF THE, OUT OF THE RESIDENCE, OUT THAT MAIN ACCESSORY WHERE THAT YOU SAW THE PICTURE OF THE DOGS. THAT'S WHERE THEY, THAT'S WHERE THEY WERE STAYING. THEY HAD ABOUT SEVEN DOGS, UH, THAT WERE THERE SINCE JANUARY 1ST, 2023 TO ABOUT DECEMBER 31ST OF, OF, UH, OF, OF 2024. WE RECEIVED ABOUT 89 CALLS FOR SERVICE, UM, TO INCLUDE BURGLARIES. 14 DISTURBANCES, UH, TWO CALLS FOR DISTURBANCE WITH A KNIFE. UH, NINE CALLS FOR DISTURBANCES INVOLVING NEIGHBORS WITH EITHER WITHIN THE STRUCTURE OR NEIGHBORS, UH, AROUND THEM. UM, THOSE, THAT PARTICULAR GROUP WAS ACTUALLY STEALING, UH, ELECTRICITY FROM THEIR NEIGHBOR. THEY'D, THEY'D GO LATE AT NIGHT, PLUG IN, AND THEN EARLY IN THE MORNING THEY'D, THEY'D DISCONNECT. UM, NINE CALLS FOR NARCOTICS INVOLVING, UH, THEY WERE SEEING NARCOTICS BEING SOLD, OR SOME OF THESE CALLS WERE SUSPICIOUS VEHICLES. THE RESIDENT WHO WAS CALLING ME, WHICH WOULD SEND ME VIDEOS OF A WHITE CAR THAT WOULD ALWAYS COME OVER, THE RESIDENTS FROM THAT, UH, THE APARTMENT WITH THE DOGS WOULD GO OUT. AND HE BELIEVED IT WAS A DRUG TRANSACTION, WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET NARCOTICS OUT THERE. WE NEVER CAUGHT ANYBODY TO DO ANYTHING. BUT I'M JUST KIND OF RELAYING THE REPORT TO YOU. UM, ONE CALL FOR A SHOOTING THAT INVOLVED ONE VICTIM AND THEN 10 CALLS FOR SHOTS FIRED. UH, COMING FROM THAT, THAT, THAT PROPERTY. UM, INITIALLY WHEN I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE, THE PROPERTY, THERE WAS SOME HOMELESS SQUADRON IN THAT REAR STRUCTURE OVER OFF OF A SABINAS. UM, THEY WEREN'T INVITED ONTO THE PROPERTY, THEY JUST KIND OF FOUND AN, AN EMPTY, AN EMPTY BUILDING AND DECIDED TO, TO GO THERE. I WAS IN TOUCH WITH THE NEXT OF KIN WHO WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME A, A CRIMINAL TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT, ALLOWING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO CRIMINAL TRESPASS ANYBODY WHO WAS ON THE PROPERTY WHO DIDN'T BELONG THERE, NOT NECESSARILY LIVE THERE, BUT DIDN'T BELONG THERE. AND THAT WAS GONNA BE THE FOLKS IN THAT REAR STRUCTURE. UM, AFTER THEY LEFT, UM, AFTER THAT WAS ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM, GET THEM OUT OF THERE. THOSE SAME INDIVIDUALS THAT THAT LEFT THAT PROPERTY. I DEALT WITH THEM OVER ON CO LEBANON ROAD, ALSO INVOLVED IN, IN DRUG ACTIVITY AND CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. UH, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT KIND OF INDIVIDUALS WERE, WERE ON THE PROPERTY. UM, OF COURSE, THE NEIGHBORS THAT, THAT PARTICULAR COMMUNITY IS PART OF THE MARTINEZ CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. SO TODAY IS ONE OF THE DAYS THAT I GO AND I SPEAK TO THEM. I WOULD SPEAK TO THEM ON A MONTHLY BASIS. UM, THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY WAS ON THE AGENDA EVERY MEETING. IT'S BEEN ON THE AGENDA ON THIS MEETING FOR THE PAST, UH, YEAR AND A HALF. SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE PRETTY UPSET ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON ON THAT PROPERTY. IN FACT, THE PRESIDENT OF THE MARTINEZ CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION LIVES ABOUT FOUR HOUSES DOWN. SO SHE, SHE SEES EVERYTHING AND REPORTS EVERYTHING, UH, TO ME, UM, FROM THE RESIDENT AND OTHER NEIGHBORS THERE, THERE HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT CALLS FOR NARCOTIC ACTIVITY. IN FACT, UH, MYSELF AND MY PARTNER, OFFICER CONNO WENT OVER TO, UH, IT WAS ALMANOR CODA. WE HAD SOMEBODY WHO HAD OVERDOSED ON, ON AN OPIATE. UH, THAT YOUNG LADY WAS BOUGHT BACK WITH NARCAN. THEY REVERSED THE EFFECTS OF THE, THE OPIATE, AND SHE WANTED TO GO BACK TO 6 0 6 CINCINNATI. WE TOLD HER, HEY, THIS ISN'T A GOOD PLACE. NO, I KNOW EVERYBODY THERE. WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, BUT AGAIN, SHE'S AN ADULT. WE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE HER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD WHERE WE FOUND HER. SO WE DID TAKE HER BACK TO 6 0 6 CINCINNATI. UM, ALONG WITH THAT, AFTER THAT OVERDOSE INCIDENT ABOUT, UH, ON MAY 29TH, UM, I WENT THERE TO HELP, UH, OFFICER HASSAN, UH, WITH A, WITH A WARRANT TO CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY. UH, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES WAS THERE AND THEY REMOVED A CHILD FROM ONE OF THE RESIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE LIVING CONDITIONS. UM, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT, ABOUT SERVICES THAT HAVE BEEN OFFERED. I'VE BEEN PRESENT WHEN THESE SERVICES HAVE BEEN OFFERED. IT WOULD MAKE SENSE, I THINK, TO ALL OF US THAT IF, IF YOU NEED HELP, YOU TAKE THE HELP. BUT A LOT OF THESE FOLKS DON'T. THEY JUST DON'T WANT THE HELP BECAUSE I, I, I COULD ONLY ASSUME THAT THEY JUST, MAYBE THEY'RE AFRAID TO MOVE. MAYBE THERE'S SOME DRUG ACTIVITY INVOLVED. UM, THEY'RE NOT PAYING RENT, YOU KNOW, SO I, I THINK A LOT OF THE PLACES WHERE THEY COULD GET 'EM TO GO WOULD [00:25:01] PROBABLY MAY NOT OFFER RENT OR REAL LOW RENT, BUT THEY JUST REALLY, THE ANSWER IS NORMALLY NO. THEY DON'T WANT THE RESOURCES. AND I'VE BEEN PRESENT WHEN THEY'VE SAID THAT. THANK YOU. BOARD. ANY QUESTIONS? PLEASE QUESTION TO THE OFFICER. GO AHEAD. YES, DEFINITELY. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. SO, UM, YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH ME, BUT I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE SERVICES THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING OF. YES, MA'AM. UM, UH, AND BECAUSE IT'S ON RECORD, AND YOU'VE SAID THIS ON RECORD, I I REALLY NEED TO CLEAR THAT UP. ABSOLUTELY. SERVICES THAT ARE BEING OFFERED IS A RIDE TO HAVEN FOR HOPE. OKAY. UM, SOME PAMPHLETS. YES, MA'AM. SO LINKS, YES, MA'AM. TO ONLINE APPLICATIONS. THE OPPORTUNITY HOME WAIT LIST IS FIVE TO 10 YEARS. THE WAIT LIST FOR RAPID REHOUSING IS AROUND SIX MONTHS. SO IF YOU'RE OPERATING SERVICES TO PEOPLE, IT IS NOT IMMEDIATE. THEY DO NOT IMMEDIATELY RECEIVE SERVICES. THEY HAVE TO GO ON A WAIT LIST. OKAY. AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION TO FILL OUT THE APPLICATION, BIRTH CERTIFICATES, ID, UH, ALL OF THEIR, THEIR PROOF OF INCOME, LIKE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU EVEN SUBMIT THE APPLICATION. RIGHT. AND WHEN THOSE, SO IS ALL OF THAT DONE RIGHT THERE ON, ON SITE WHILE YOU ARE NO, WHEN I'VE, WHEN I'VE BEEN THERE, THEY OFFER THEM THE SERVICE AND THEY'VE EXPLAINED THOSE THINGS. AND USUALLY THE FIRST ONE IS, IS HAVEN FOR HOPE. AND THEN AFTERWARDS THEY EXPLAIN ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS, UM, THAT YOU, THAT YOU'VE EXPLAINED, MA'AM. AND THE ANSWER IS NO. THE ANSWER IS NO. AND THE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE SOMEONE IN THE VA. THERE WERE TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE, UM, WHO ARE VETERANS. THE ONE IN THE FRONT WHO UNFORTUNATELY, UH, WITH ALL RESPECT TO HIS, HIS, UH, TIME IN THE MILITARY, HE WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE DRUG ACTIVITY. BUT THE ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, HE WAS ALSO A VETERAN. AND HE WAS IN TOUCH. AND I, I ACTUALLY LISTENED TO HIM ON THE PHONE. HE WAS IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE FROM THE, FROM, FROM SOME VA SERVICES. AND HE WAS DIFFICULT. HE WAS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING SOMEWHERE WHEN TO GO. WHEN WE WERE THERE WITH CPS, WHAT CPS WANTED TO DO IS SAID, HEY, THIS IS THIS, THESE CONDITIONS AREN'T GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER. LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE YOU AND LET'S FIND A DIFFERENT PLACE FOR YOU. AND IN FACT, THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A BETTER WAY TO DO IT. SO WE, 'CAUSE WE DIDN'T WANNA SEPARATE THEM, WE DIDN'T WANT HER TO BE UPSET. WE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO BE UPSET, BUT HE SAID, NO, I'M, I'M NOT GONNA LEAVE. AND IN FACT, HE WAS ALMOST BECOMING THREATENING, LIKE, HEY, WE'RE GONNA END UP FIGHTING IF, IF YOU TRY TO TAKE HER. WHICH UNFORTUNATELY, JUST, IT WAS A, IT WAS A LOT OF TALK. HE WAS JUST KIND OF PUFFING UP A LITTLE BIT. UM, BUT WE ENDED UP HAVING TO JUST REMOVE HER CPS ENDED UP REMOVING HER, AND WE MADE SURE EVERYTHING WAS AT PEACE WHILE WE WERE THERE. THAT WAS A LONG TALK. I HOPE I DIDN'T, I HOPE I DIDN'T TALK TOO MUCH. AND I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION THEN. THE ONLY REASON THAT I'M BRINGING THIS UP IS BECAUSE YOU SAID IT. ABSOLUTELY. NO, NO PROBLEM. AND, UH, UH, I CAN TELL YOU AGAIN FROM EXPERIENCE, LIKE PEOPLE, THEY KNOW THE SYSTEM, THEY KNOW HOW IT WORKS. YES, MA'AM. THEY ALREADY KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET THE HELP THAT THEY NEED RIGHT AWAY. RIGHT. OR THEY HAVE TO HAVE 1,000,001 DOCUMENTS. SO YES, THEY'RE GONNA SAY, WELL, NO, I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT. SURE. IT'S NOT THAT THEY DON'T WANT IT OR THEY DON'T NEED IT. IT'S THAT IT IS A LONG, LENGTHY PROCESS AND IT'S VERY, VERY HARD TO GET THROUGH. UM, SO JUST LIKE A LITTLE KINDNESS. WELL, IN, IN THE SAME WAY THAT I'VE, I'VE SAID THAT, THAT, UH, I, I SAY THAT IT COULD BE DRUG ADDICTION 'CAUSE I'M NOT GONNA READ THEIR MINDS AND I'M NOT WITH THEM 24 HOURS A DAY. UM, I, I'VE COME ACROSS A LOT OF, A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE, WHO ARE HOMELESS, AND THEY BE BECAUSE I, AND THEN THEY'VE TOLD ME BECAUSE OF THE DRUG ADDICTION, THEY DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THAT. THEY WANNA LIVE THEIR LIVES. THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE I TALK TO, NOT SPECIFICALLY THOSE PEOPLE. SO THE SERVICES HAVE BEEN OFFERED. I, I WISH, I WISH THEY WOULD'VE. 'CAUSE THERE'S SOME ELDERLY FOLKS IN THE BACK. I'VE SPOKEN TO THEM SUPER NICE PEOPLE. THERE'S, THERE'S NOT, THERE'S NOT AN ISSUE WITH THEM, BUT THEY JUST, THEY'VE SAID NO. AND IT COULD BE, YES, PART OF IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT YES, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON AT 6 0 6. PLEASE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO I'M JUST CONFUSED. SO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING IN THE ACCESSORY ARE NOT THE ONES THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE, THE ELDERLY? NO. OKAY. SO IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT A BACK STRUCTURE, AND ALMOST PARALLEL TO THEM IS ONE OF THE VETERANS, NOT THE VETERANS WHO, NOT THE VETERAN WHO WAS SELLING DRUGS. HE WAS THERE WITH HIS DAUGHTER. HE'S THE ONE WHO HAD HIS DAUGHTER REMOVED BY CPS CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. THEY WERE IN THE MAIN STRUCTURE. YES. OKAY. YES. OKAY. SO THOSE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. YES. AND IN FACT, THE ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS, THOSE ARE THE PARENTS OF THE VETERAN WHO WAS SELLING DRUGS. HE'S GONE NOW. I BELIEVE HE WAS ARRESTED. I, I SUSPECT THAT ONCE, IF, IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY, HE'S PROBABLY GONNA COME BACK. IF AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S BEEN RELEASED OR WHAT HIS STATUS IS RIGHT NOW. OKAY. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE BACK AND THE ACCESSORY, THEY WERE OFFERED SERVICES? YES. ARE THEY STILL, I'VE BEEN THERE ONE TIME WHEN THEY WERE OFFERED SERVICES. I THINK THEY SAID THEY WERE OFFERED THREE, THREE TIMES. AND ARE THEY STILL OCCUPYING THE ACCESSORIES? SINCE THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE WITH OFFICER HASSAN? YES. THEY'RE STILL OCCUPYING. THANK YOU.

THIS HOUSE AT ONE TIME, BACK IN THE 1950S, WAS A CHIROPRACTOR'S OFFICE. NOW IN THE 2010S AND 2020S, IT'S BEEN USED AS A DRUG HOUSE AND IS NUISANCE ABATEMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO THE CITY PARK OF MARTIN, UH, MARTINEZ CREEK. OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS VA NTS AND DRUG ATTIC PERSONS COME AND GO FROM THE PROPERTY, FROM THIS PROPERTY. BEFORE THE HOUSE WAS CLEARED OF SUCH ACTIVITY, THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE TRAILWAY HAD SIGNIFICANT MORE, HAD SIGNIFICANT MORE DRUG ACTIVITY AND DRUG USING INDIVIDUALS ROAMING ABOUT AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT.

THE FRONT WALL IS BEING HELD UP BY WOODEN BEAMS. THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS ARE BOARDED UP. THERE WAS A FIRE INSIDE THE HOUSE SEVERAL YEARS AGO, WHICH LEFT SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE BACK OF THE HOUSE HAS A SHED THAT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY OCCUPIED BY FRAGRANCE AND DRUG ADDICTS WHO HAVE I SEEN USE A SHOPPING CART TO STEAL AND SELL METAL DOWN THE STREET ON CULEBRA ROAD. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE USE, I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE WALKING IN CIRCLES, LOOKING FOR THINGS ON THE GROUND AND YELLING FOR HOURS. THE PLACE HAS BEEN CLEANED UP BY THE CITY ONLY TO GET BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE AND ABUNDANT TRASH AND DEBRIS. THERE IS NO HISTORICAL EVIDENCE THAT THIS LOCATION WAS ANYTHING MORE THAN A CHIROPRACTOR OFFICE, THEN IT WAS A HOME, AND THEN IT WAS ILE. UH, IT WAS ILLEGALLY DIVIDED INTO TWO TO THREE APARTMENTS WITHOUT REQUIRED CITY APARTMENTS OR PERMISSIONS. WE KINDLY ASK THAT YOU DEMOLISH THIS HOUSE AND RID RID OUR NEIGHBORHOOD OF ITS CONTAMINATION. SINCERELY YOURS, MELANIE DAVIS, 2310 NORTH SABRINA STREET, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 1.

GOOD MORNING FOR THE RECORD. MY NAME IS CYNTHIA SANTANA, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 3 35 ELMHURST WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX. THIS CASE IS THE FIRST TIME BEING HEARD BEFORE THIS BOARD. THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS NCB 6 0 9 3 BLOCK FIVE LOT NINE, LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO. THE [00:40:01] OWNER ON RECORD IS TEXAS QUEST FUNDING TRUST WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 2 8 6 2 0 DAPPER DAN DRIVE, FAIR OAKS RANCH, TEXAS 7 8 0 1 5. ALL NOTICES OF HEARING WERE PROPERLY ISSUED AS REQUIRED. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS NOT PRESENT TODAY. DOES THE BOARD WISH TO PROCEED? YES, PLEASE. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS ARE PRESENT ON BEHALF OF THE CASE. DANIEL FLEMING AND CLAY MONROE. NO PHONE NUMBER, NO PHONE NUMBERS WERE FOUND FOR, NOR HAVE I SPOKEN WITH THE OWNER. CONTACT HAS BEEN MADE WITH THE BROTHER OF THE OWNER. THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON APRIL 29TH, 2024. THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION. THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 3 35 ELMHURST AVENUE WAS CONDUCTED ON JANUARY 5TH, 2023. ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON AUGUST 13TH, 2024, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED UNDELIVERABLE ON AUGUST 30TH, 2024 ON JUNE 20TH, 2025. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 3 35 ELMHURST AVENUE ON JUNE 18TH, 2025. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO THE OWNER AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. DOCUMENTS, UH, WERE PRESENTED THIS MORNING, UM, REGARDING A SCOPE OF WORK AND FINANCIAL PROOF OF, UH, LETTER OF CREDIT OR IN, UM, FOR REPAIR. ON JUNE 9TH, 2025, AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS OBTAINED TO TAKE PHOTOS BEING PRESENTED. TODAY, THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE TAKEN ON THAT DAY, JUNE 9TH, 2025. THIS FIRST PHOTO IS OF THE FRONT ELEVATION SHOWING A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE BUILT IN 1920 WITH A PEER AND BEAM FOUNDATION. THE STRUCTURE HAS WOOD SIDING ACROSS GABLE ROOF SYSTEM AND IS 1,167 SQUARE FEET. THIS STRUCTURE IS LOCATED WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF TWO LICENSED CHILDCARE PROGRAMS. THE STRUCTURE IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND HAS NO WATER, HAS NOT HAD RUN ANY WATER SERVICE SINCE 2022 OR ELECTRICAL SERVICE SINCE 2023. THE STRUCTURE, UH, AS YOU LOOK INTO IT, UM, FROM THE FRONT IS SINKING INTO THE CENTER OF THE FOUNDATION. THIS PHOTO IS OF THE, WHOOPS, OH, THERE WE GO. THIS PHOTO IS OF THE RIGHT ELEVATION. UH, TOWARDS THE REAR, YOU CAN SEE A SECTION OF THE STRUCTURE THAT EXTENDS OUT TO THE RIGHT, UM, RIGHT THERE IN THE CORNER WHERE THE MAIN STRUCTURE IN THAT EXTENSION MEET. THE STRUCTURE IS ALSO SINKING INTO GRADE AND IS NO LONGER LEVEL DUE TO A FAILING FOUNDATION SYSTEM. THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. IT IS RESTING COMPLETELY ON GRADE. UH, THE SIDING IS BUCKLED OUT AT THE BOTTOM DUE TO THE SINKING AT THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE IS LISTING TO THE RIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF THE BUILDING. HERE IS THE REAR ELEVATION. UM, IT SHOWS THE ROOF SAGGING AROUND THE CENTER PEAK, BOTH ON THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT SIDES OF THE ROOF. UH, THE FRONT EDGE OF THE ROOF FACING US IS ALSO, UH, SAGGING IN THE CENTER. THE SIDING IS ROTTED. IT LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION. THE SILL BEAMS AT THE BOTTOM, UH, RESTING ON GRADE ON THE LEFT, AND RESTING ON THE CONCRETE STEPS. ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE BOTTOM SAGGING BETWEEN THOSE TWO POINTS. THIS IS A CLOSEUP PHOTO OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRONT ELEVATION IN WHICH THE SEAL SEAL BEAM IS LEANING IN TOWARDS THE STRUCTURE AND SETTING ON GRADE. THE SIDING IS DETERIORATED AND LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION. AT THE BOTTOM, WE SEE MISSING FOUNDATION SKIRTING EXPOSING THE SEAL BEAMS, FLOOR JOIST, AND BOTTOM [00:45:01] PLATES TO THE WEATHER ELEMENTS. THE SIDING IS MISSING TOWARDS THE REAR AND THE WALL STUDS ARE DETERIORATED AND ROTTED DUE TO EXPOSURE. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF MORE OF THE EXPOSED STRUCTURAL MEMBERS THAT ARE ROTTED. THE SILL BEAM IS BURIED, UH, AT THE CORNER INTO THE GRADE. THE WINDOW FRAME IS DETERIORATED AND LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION. THIS IS THAT LITTLE SECTION OF THE HOUSE ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION. UM, IT IS ALSO SINKING INTO THE GRADE ON THE LEFT SIDE. YOU CAN SEE THE UNLEVELED FRAME AROUND THE WINDOW. THIS PHOTO, UH, DEMONSTRATES THE FAILING FOUNDATION SYSTEM MORE CLEARLY. IT IS AND IS A CLOSER VIEW OF THE STRUCTURE RESTING ON THE CONCRETE STAIRS. THE STEPS HAVE BEEN PUSHED OUT AWAY FROM THE HOUSE, DISLODGING THEM FROM THE BASE DUE TO THE PRESSURE OF THE STRUCTURE RESTING ON IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THOSE STAIRS. UM, THE RIGHT CORNER OF THE REAR ELEVATION IS COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED FROM THE ROTTING AND DETERIORATION INSIDE THE STRUCTURE AT THE FLOOR TO THE FIRST BEDROOM. THE SUBFLOOR IS MISSING AND IT APPEARS THAT SOMEONE THOUGHT ABOUT WORKING ON THE FOUNDATION AT ONE POINT. UM, THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE FOR THIS STRUCTURE SINCE THE ROOF WAS REPLACED IN 2019. IN THAT FIRST BEDROOM, YOU CAN SEE SOME SILL BEAMS HAD BEEN REPLACED AGAIN WITH NO PERMIT. THE EXTERIOR OF THE ROOM IS EXPOSED AT THE REAR AND RIGHT SIDES TO THE ELEMENTS AND NATURAL LIGHT IS VISIBLE, ALLOWING RODENTS AND SMALL ANIMALS TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE. WALL BOARDS AROUND THE WINDOW ARE MISSING AND THE UNLEVEL FOUNDATION IS AGAIN APPARENT AT THAT BACK WALL. RIGHT NEXT TO THAT FIRST BEDROOM IS A BATHROOM. UH, THE FLOOR IS COMPLETELY MISSING AGAIN. NATURAL LIGHT IS VISIBLE AT THE EXTERIOR WALL. THE TILES ON THE WALL ARE DAMAGED. THERE'S A LITTLE SECTION, UH, AT THE BACK OF THE BATHROOM. SO AS YOU, YOU KIND OF LOOK AROUND THAT TO THE LEFT, UM, YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THAT SILL BEAM THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED WITHOUT A PERMIT. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF MORE OF THE DAMAGED TILE AND THE DAMAGED PLUMBING IN THE BATHROOM. THIS VIEW IS FACING THE FRONT ENTRANCE FROM INSIDE. UH, THE WALL BOARDS ARE MISSING FROM AROUND THE WINDOW. NATURAL LIGHT IS VISIBLE AROUND THE FRONT DOOR AND AT THE FLOORING ON THE BOTTOM. UH, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE MORE LIGHT COMING THROUGH, UH, WHERE THE FLOORING MEETS THE WALL IN THE CENTER OF THE PHOTO. UH, THERE'S A DARK SPACE THERE. THOSE, UH, FLOORBOARDS ARE ROTTED AND THERE'S AN ACTUAL HOLE. UM, UH, GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR, YOU CAN SEE THE SLOPE OF THE FLOORING. THE FRAMING AROUND THE DOOR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS ALSO MISSING. THE WALL BOARDS AROUND THE WINDOWS ARE MISSING AND THE INSULATION IS EXPOSED. NATURAL LIGHT IS AGAIN VISIBLE IN THE CORNER AT THE FLOOR, ALLOWING PESTS TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DOOR. UM, IN THIS CORNER, THE SINKING STRUCTURE IS A APPARENT THERE. THE FRONT WALL HAS ACTUALLY PUSHED OUTWARDS, UH, REVEALING THE EXTERIOR SIDING. UM, AT THE SEPARATION FROM THE SEPARATION, I'M SORRY, THIS IS KIND OF A, A PHOTO OF THE, THE FLOORING BETWEEN THE ROOMS. IT SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF SEVERE SEPARATION BETWEEN EACH SECTION OF THE HOUSE AS THEY HAVE PULLED APART FROM ONE ANOTHER. THIS IS ANOTHER PHOTO. UH, THE NEXT ONE IS, UH, SAME THING IN ONE OF THE OTHER ROOMS BETWEEN THE SECOND BEDROOM AND THE, THE MAIN ROOM OF THE HOUSE. THIS IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL [00:50:01] STRUCTURE THAT HAS BEEN NEGLECTED SINCE AT LEAST JANUARY OF 2023. UH, GIVEN THAT THE OWNERSHIP HAS CHANGED HANDS TWICE SINCE JANUARY OF 2023, WITHOUT ANY PERMITTED REPAIRS BEING MADE, IT'S LIKELY THE PROPER PROPERTIES CONDITION WOULD CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE. THE EXTENSIVELY FAILING FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO ALLOW THE STRUCTURE TO SINK INTO GRADE AND CAUSE THE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS TO NO LONGER SUPPORT IT CORRECTLY. TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 3 3 5 ELMHURST AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2 5 7 8, 9 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH IS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH. SAFETY, WELFARE, UH, 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 3 35 ELMHURST AVENUE. THANK YOU. DOES THE BOARD HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE OFFICER? GO AHEAD. UH, CARL, THE UTILITIES STILL CONNECTED TO THIS HOUSE. THEY ARE NOT. IS THERE, UM, ANY POLICE ACTIVITY AT THE PROPERTY? WE HAVE NOT. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE REPORTS OF VAGRANCY, UH, THE LAST TIME I WENT WITH THE WARRANT TO TAKE INTERIOR PHOTOS. THE REAR OF THIS STRUCTURE, UH, WAS OPEN AND WE SECURED IT BEFORE WE LEFT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO CALL OFFICER? THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU SEAT. THANK YOU, SIR. DANIEL FLEMMING, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND WHEN YOU REACH THE PODIUM, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND THE COUNCIL DISTRICT THAT YOU DO BUSINESS IN OR WHERE YOU LIVE, SIR? UH, GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS DANIEL FLEMING. I LIVE AT 1 1 8 CANYON OAKS DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 3 2. THANK YOU, SIR. AND YOUR TESTIMONY PLEASE, SIR? YES, SIR. UM, AGAIN, GOOD MORNING. UM, TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, UH, MY NAME IS DANIEL FLEMING AND I AM THE SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE FOR THE TEXAS QUEST FUNDING TRUST, WHICH CURRENTLY OWNS THE PROPERTY AT 3 3 5 ELMHURST AVENUE. BEFORE I ADDRESS THE SPECIFICS OF THIS CASE, I WANT TO BRIEFLY SHARE THE STORY BEHIND WHY I AM HERE TODAY. THIS IS NOT JUST A CODE VIOLATION OR ANOTHER PROPERTY FILE. THIS IS PART OF A DEEPLY PERSONAL LOSS MY FAMILY AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED. UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S A, UM, TO, TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF HISTORY OFF OF MY LETTER HERE. THIS WAS A, A LOAN TO AN INVESTOR TO RENOVATE THE PROPERTY. SO WHAT YOU SEE ON THOSE PHOTOS, THERE'S A LOT OF RENOVATION THAT WAS STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED. OKAY. UM, THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS SCJ GROUP LLC, UM, FROM NOVEMBER OF 2022 THROUGH MAY OF 2024. UM, THE PREVIOUS TRUSTEE AND MY BROTHER, SCOTT FLEMING, WAS A LENDER ON THIS PROPERTY. HE STEPPED IN AND FORECLOSED ON MAY 10TH, 2024. AND AFTER HIS BORROWER, UH, THAT WAS AFTER HIS BORROWER FAILED TO MAINTAIN OR RENOVATE THE HOME. AS PROMISED, MY BROTHER'S INTENT WAS TO STEP IN TO PROTECT THE ASSET THAT WE LENT MONEY ON AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO PROTECT THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT SHORTLY AFTER TAKING POSSESSION, SCOTT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER. UH, IT CAME QUICKLY AND PROGRESSED AGGRESSIVELY DURING WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIS TIME TO MANAGE HIS PROJECT TO COMPLETION. SCOTT WAS INSTEAD FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE. HE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME OR STRENGTH TO MANAGE HIS PROPERTY. UH, HE WASN'T READING MAIL THAT WAS BEING SENT TO HIM BY THE CITY, OR HE WASN'T RETURNING CALLS. HE WAS IN THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE. AND SADLY, THAT'S THE FIGHT THAT HE LOST. UH, HE PASSED AWAY WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE TO ME THE PROBLEMS HE WAS DEALING WITH OR NOTICES FROM THE CITY HE LEFT BEHIND. NOT ONLY OUR GRIEVING FAMILY, BUT ALSO A LIST OF UNRESOLVED MATTERS JUST LIKE THIS ONE, IT HAS BEEN A HEARTBREAKING AND OVERWHELMING PROCESS. I BECAME SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE ON MARCH 17TH OF THIS YEAR, JUST FOUR MONTHS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY INVESTIGATING AND UNTANGLING THE ISSUES. SCOTT WAS NEVER ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO ME, [00:55:02] I'M HERE TODAY, NOT BECAUSE I IGNORED THIS PROBLEM, BUT BECAUSE I JUST GOT TO THE FRONT LINES OF IT. SO WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR, I IMMEDIATELY LISTED THE PROPERTY FOR SALE ON THE MLS AND BEGAN SEEKING A RESPONSIBLE SOLUTION. UH, I AM HAPPY, UH, TO SHARE THAT THE PROPERTY IS ACTIVE, ACTIVELY UNDER CONTRACT WITH A QUALIFIED DEVELOPER. AND WE ARE SET TO CLOSE ON JULY 23RD PER THE CONTRACT. UM, THIS BUYER HAS THE VISION, HAS THE CAPITAL AND THE CONSTRUCTION TEAM READY TO FULLY REHABILITATE AND FINISH THE RENOVATION THAT WAS STARTED, UH, AND RESOLVE ALL THE CODE ISSUES. THIS IS NOT A SPECULATIVE OFFER, THIS IS A REAL BUYER WITH REAL INTENT. BUT AS YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF PROJECT TAKES TIME. CONSTRUCTION PERMITS, FOUNDATION, ROOFING, NONE OF IT HAPPENS OVERNIGHT. IT'S GONNA TAKE SOMEONE WITH A PLAN, FINANCIAL RESOURCES ABILITY, AND THE WILLINGNESS TO GET THE JOB DONE. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU TODAY, THAT WE HAVE THESE THINGS IN PLACE TO SAVE THIS PROPERTY. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO IGNORE THESE VIOLATIONS. I'M ASKING YOU TO GIVE US THE TIME NEEDED TO SOLVE THEM THE RIGHT WAY. WHAT I'M, SO, WHAT I AM ASKING FOR TODAY, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A 90 DAY DEFERRAL OF ANY DEMOLITION ORDER OR ENFORCEMENT ACTION SO THAT THE FOUNDATION CAN BE REPAIRED AS WELL AS THE ROOF AND STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS. THIS IS NOT A CASE OF DELAY FOR DELAY'S SAKE. THIS IS NOT A KICK IN THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR BREATHING ROOM TO ALLOW A FULLY FUNDED CREDIBLE PLAN TO GO INTO MOTION. AND JUST IN CASE THIS BUYER FAILS TO CLOSE, LET ME BE VERY CLEAR. I AM PERSONALLY WILLING AND FINANCIALLY ABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS MYSELF. I'VE ALREADY BEGUN CONVERSATIONS WITH LICENSED CONTRACTORS AND AM FULLY PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD IF NEEDED. SO EITHER WAY, THE PROBLEM IS GOING TO GET FIXED WITH OR WITHOUT OUR BUYER. THIS HAS BEEN A PAINFUL YEAR FOR ME. LOSING SCOTT WAS, AND STILL IS A GUT PUNCH. HE WAS MY BROTHER. UM, EXCUSE ME. UH, MY MENTOR TAKE, JUST TAKE, TAKE A MOMENT AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH. THANK YOU. UH, AND THE KIND OF MAN WHO WOULD'VE SHOWN UP TO A HEARING LIKE THIS TO TAKE CARE OF IT HIMSELF, IF HE COULD HAVE, UM, HE DIDN'T DROP THE BALL, HE JUST RAN OUTTA TIME. UM, AND RIGHT NOW, UH, I'M HERE TRYING TO CLEAN UP THE ISSUES THAT WERE LEFT BEHIND TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS PROPERTY, I DO HOPE YOU DON'T JUST SEE A SAGGING STRUCTURE AND A LIST OF VIOLATIONS. I HOPE YOU SEE WHAT I SEE. A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO GO AHEAD AND RESTORE SOMETHING THAT'S BROKEN, A FAMILY SHOWING UP AFTER LOSS, A PLAN THAT'S REAL. IT'S FUNDED AND IT'S ALREADY IN MOTION. UH, THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME. I TRULY APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU ALL DO FOR THIS CITY. THANK YOU. YOUR, YOUR PREFERENCE, UH, DANIEL IS TO ACTUALLY SELL THE PROPERTY. UH, Y YES, SIR. WE HAVE TWO PLANS. PLAN A IS TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO A, A, A VIABLE INVESTOR DEVELOPER WHO WE HAVE ACHIEVED THAT GOAL. AND PLAN B IS TO RENOVATE OURSELVES. OKAY. AND YOUR BROTHER WAS IN, UH, IN MEMBERSHIP OR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PRIOR PROPERTY OWNER? UH, HE WAS A LENDER. SO, SO WHO WAS THE LENDER TO IT? OKAY. YES, SIR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEN. MM-HMM . UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? OKAY. OKAY. SORRY. DID YOU, SIR, YOU MAY BE SEATED. UH, THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU SUBMITTED, UH, I JUST FOR THE RECORD, I DID SUBMIT, UH, I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS ALL WORKS, BUT I DID SUBMIT A COPY OF THE LIST, THE MLS LISTING THAT SHOWS THE AGGRESSIVENESS MARKETING, TRYING TO SELL THE PROPERTY, BUT ALSO, UH, UH, THE EXECUTED CONTRACT. UM, ALL IN DETAIL HERE FOR YOUR RECORDS. I DO HAVE A COPY OF THE, UM, UH, PLAN B, FULL DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK AND BUDGET FOR YOUR, FOR YOUR, UM, REVIEW, AS WELL AS THE LETTER OF, UM, FINANCIAL, UM, PROMISE TO GET THIS DONE. AS WELL AS JUST FOR THE RECORD, THE HOW WE CAME INTO TITLE, THE SUBSTITUTE TRUSTEE'S DEED WHEN MY BROTHER FORECLOSED. UM, AND THEN THE SUCCESSOR, THE, THE DEATH CERTIFICATE FROM MY BROTHER WHEN HE, HE PASSED AWAY IN APRIL 15TH. AND THEN THE SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE AGREEMENT SHOWING NOW THAT I AM IN FACT, UH, IN CHARGE OF THE PROPERTY AND THEN THE OWNER, I GUESS, OF THE PROPERTY. UM, SO JUST TO, JUST FOR THE RECORD, I BELIEVE, UH, IS WHY I BROUGHT [01:00:01] THOSE MR. CHAIR, THIS IS LEGAL COUNSEL. GO AHEAD. UM, UH, THOSE DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY LEGAL, UM, AND THEY ARE ACCEPTABLE. I WILL STATE, IN ADDITION TO THE, UH, UH, THE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING, UH, OWNERSHIP, UH, THERE WAS A DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK, UM, AND I BELIEVE, UM, INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO FINANCIAL MEANS. UM, SO, UH, THOSE, THAT, THAT DOCUMENTATION AND ALL THAT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY, BY LEGAL, AND WE ARE, UH, WE APPROVED IT, SO IT SHOULD BE, CAN BE VIEWED BY YOU GUYS. I BELIEVE THAT THEY'VE PUT IT ON THE SCREEN. IF YOU WOULD GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR ME, PLEASE. AND, UH, DANIEL, ALL OF THIS INFORMATION THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT IS INFORMATION ON PLAN A. IN OTHER WORDS, WHERE YOU WOULD DO ALL THE WORK YOURSELF. UH, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT. PLAN B, THAT WOULD BE PLAN B. YEAH, THAT WAS OUR PLAN. CONTRACTORS. OKAY. PLAN B, PLAN PLAN A. WE HAVE THE GENTLEMAN HERE ACTUALLY IN, IN THE AUDIENCE. I DON'T BELIEVE HE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, BUT HE IS, UH, COMMITTED AND FULLY MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR CONTRACT TO PURCHASE AND TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY. OKAY. JUST A SECOND. LEMME LOOK AT THE REST OF THIS. SURE. THIS SHOWS A BUYER OF DAVID FLEMING. UH, NO, YOU'RE THE SELLER. UH, YES, SIR. ANTHONY GONZAL. YEAH. AND IS ANTHONY WITH US TODAY? UH, I, I BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE LLC WHO HAS ON CONTRACT. UM, BUT I DON'T BEL I DON'T KNOW THEIR CORPORATE STRUCTURE, SIR, BUT, UM, OKAY. I'LL, I'LL WAIT UNTIL CLAY COMES UP THEN ASK THAT QUESTION UP. OKAY. OKAY, GREAT. UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DANIEL? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU MAY BE SEATED. THANK YOU. AND CLAY MOORE, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND IF YOU WOULD PLEASE, SIR, STATE YOUR NAME AND THE DISTRICT THAT YOU LIVE IN OR YOUR ADDRESS THAT YOU LIVE IN. YES, SIR. I'M CLAY MONROE. I LIVE AT 4 1 5 MDA DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 7. THANK YOU, SIR. AND YOUR TESTIMONY PLEASE? UH, DIDN'T REALLY COME PREPARED, UH, AS FAR AS THE SCRIPT IS CONCERNED, BUT, UH, I'M UNDER CONTRACT WITH, UH, AN LLC FORMED BY ME, ONE OF MY BUSINESS PARTNERS. AND ACTUALLY OUR CONTRACTOR IS THE, THE THIRD PARTNER ON THE L-L-C-L-L-C NAME IS ELM IS 3 3 5 ELMHURST PROJECT 2025 . SO, UH, WE DO FULLY INTEND TO, UH, TO GET THIS DONE. UM, ASSUMING EVERYTHING GOES AS PLANNED, WE'RE, YOU KNOW, SLATED TO GET THE FOUNDATION DONE BEFORE THE END OF, UH, I GUESS BEFORE THE END OF AUGUST WOULD BE THE INTENTION. UM, I'VE SUBMITTED MOST OF THE DOCS THAT I HAD TO SUBMIT TO THE LENDER. UH, I THINK THERE WAS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, UH, I, I, SOME OF IT WAS KICKBACK, I SUPPOSE. UH, BUT THIS IS THE GENERAL, UH, IDEA. UH, SO THIS IS THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT I HAD TO SUBMIT TO THE LENDER. UH, THEY'RE, I'M CLAY MONROE, THE PEDRO CANTU IS OUR, UH, CONTRACTOR. UM, THEY ESSENTIALLY [01:05:01] HAD ME PUT TOGETHER OUR GENERAL IDEA FOR WHAT THE, UH, THE PROJECT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE. PART OF WHAT WE'VE ALLOCATED FOR IN THE SCOPE OF WORK IS TO HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, ENGINEER REPORTS AND ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS DRAWN UP TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS DONE IN A, IN A HIGH QUALITY MANNER. UM, AND OUR, IT APPEARS THAT MY SCOPE OF WORK AND, UM, MR. FLEMINGS, UH, HAS ROUGHLY THE SAME DOLLAR AMOUNT AT THE END OF IT. UM, THESE FIRST SEVERAL PAGES ARE ESSENTIALLY THE NARRATIVE, WHICH IS WHAT THEY ASKED FOR AS FAR AS TO PAINT THE PICTURE FOR THEM ON, ON THE INTENTION. BUT AS YOU GET FURTHER DOWN, YOU'LL SEE THE FORMATTING SIMILAR TO HIS, WHERE IT'S A EXCEL SPREADSHEET WITH DOLLAR FIGURES FOR EACH LINE ITEM. AND THE SCOPE OF WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BY THE LENDER, BY THE WAY. AND, UH, I GUESS TO ELUCIDATE THE CONFUSION ON THE, THE STRUCTURE. SO I'M, UH, WITH ELMHURST PROJECT ELMHURST, UH, 2025 ELMHURST PROJECT 2025 LLC. UM, REVIVE, SATX, UH, IS ESSENTIALLY A WHOLESALING COMPANY. AND SO THEY WENT UNDER CONTRACT DIRECTLY WITH, UH, WITH MR. FLEMING, AND THEN ASSIGNED THE CONTRACT TO, TO MY, MY TEAM, WHICH THIS SHOULD BE THE, UH, ASSIGNMENT CONTRACT BETWEEN, UH, MY LLC AND, UH, REVIVE, SATX. ANTHONY GONZALEZ IS THE BROKER OF REVIVE, SATX. ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. MONROE? UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, GO AHEAD. SO YOU ARE SCHEDULED TO CLOSE ON THE SALE OF THIS PROPERTY ON JULY THE 23RD OF 2025? YES, SIR. AND YOU ARE PREPARED, UH, IF THAT, IF THAT CLOSING OCCURS, THEN YOU'RE PREPARED TO BEGIN WORKING ON THE FOUNDATION OF IN AUGUST OF 2025? UH, YES, SIR. THE, I GUESS THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS WOULD BE GETTING THE PERMITS, GETTING THE ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS, ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF TO GET THE PAPERWORK IN PLACE TO BEGIN WORK. BUT, UM, IT IS, UH, IT WOULD BEHOOVE ME TO GET IT DONE IN A TIMELY FASHION TO AVOID PAYMENTS. SO, UH, I INTEND TO GET IT DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED? UM, I THINK THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE CONCERNED ABOUT TEARING IT DOWN IN 90 DAYS IF TOTAL, TOTAL REPAIR IS GONNA BE 90 DAYS. UM, I WOULD SAY THAT, UM, FROM START TO FINISH WHEN WE'RE READY TO LIST WOULD LIKELY BE, UM, THREE TO FOUR MONTHS FROM THE TIME OF CLOSING. BUT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO, I MEAN, IT WOULD BE, UH, THE FOUNDATION WOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN AUGUST. UH, WE'D HAVE ALL THE STRUCTURAL TAKEN CARE OF WITHIN AUGUST TO MID-SEPTEMBER. AND THEN YOU, IT JUST HAS TO BE UP TO CODE. YES, MA'AM. EVERYTHING WILL BE DONE WITH PERMITS AND, UH, AND DONE PROPERLY. OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT THE STRIKE FORCE OUT THERE. SO WITHIN 90 DAYS, UH, THE, ALL THE, THE STRUCTURAL FOR CODE? YES. THE STRUCTURAL CODE ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED WITHIN THE 90 DAYS? YES MA'AM. NO OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. YOU MAY BE SEATED. THANK YOU. WANTS SPEAK ON THIS, BUT FROST. OKAY. THERE'S ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK [01:10:01] ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY. HIS NAME IS DAVID FROST. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD, DAVID, AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR DISTRICT THAT YOU RESIDE OR YOUR HOME ADDRESS. THANK YOU. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. MY NAME IS DAVID FROST, F-R-O-S-T. I RESIDE AT 3 3 8 ELMHURST, WHICH IS BASICALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS PROPERTY, AND THAT'S IN COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO. I, UH, MY INTEREST IN THIS IS BASICALLY IN TERMS OF THE GREATER NEIGHBORHOOD AND ALSO MY INVESTMENT IN THE PROPERTY AT 3 38 ELM MERST, WHICH I OWN. I AM NOT A REGISTERED CONTRACTOR. I SIMPLY SEE SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS NOW. UH, THAT IS AN EYESORE AND I WOULD RECOMMEND AND REQUEST THAT SIMPLY SOMETHING BE DONE. UH, THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS SAY THAT THEY HAVE THE MONEY AND THE EXPERTISE TO, UH, BASICALLY REBUILD THE STRUCTURE IF THEY CAN AND WILL DO THAT. I HAVE NO PROBLEM. UH, IF THEY CAN'T, OBVIOUSLY THE NEXT SOLUTION IS DEMOLITION, WHICH WOULD ALSO, UH, TAKE CARE OF THE EYES FOR A PROBLEM. AND AGAIN, SPEAKING ON MY BEHALF AND ALSO AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE MANKEY PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND, UH, SOMEONE WHO WORKED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, UH, HAVING THIS STRUCTURE EITHER RESTORED OR DEMOLISHED, IS CLEARLY IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IMMEDIATELY, UH, WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, BUT ALSO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ITSELF. IT'S CHANGING. AGAIN. WE ARE GETTING YOUNG FAMILIES INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UH, I'VE SEEN MORE BABY CARRIAGES AND DOGS IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS THAN I HAVE IN QUITE A WHILE. SO, UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS DEFINITELY ON ITS WAY BACK UP, REGARDLESS OF WHAT S-A-I-S-D MAY THINK. AND THIS WOULD, IMPROVING THE PROPERTY OR, UH, MAKING IT GO AWAY WOULD BE, I THINK, ACCEPTABLE TO MOST OF THE FOLKS AROUND THERE. WE ARE MOSTLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN VACANT FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS. IT'S BEEN, UH, LISTED.

STATE YOUR NAME AND THE DISTRICT THAT YOU LIVE IN OR YOUR HOME ADDRESS. ABSOLUTELY. VERONICA GARCIA MOXLEY. I LIVE AT 21, UH, TWO 11 VILLA VALENCIA, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 5 8. I'VE NEVER LIVED AT FIVE [01:40:01] 16 SOUTH SANU EDWARDO. I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE. THANK YOU. GO AHEAD WITH YOUR TESTIMONY PLEASE. UH, YES. BOARD. UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I'M SO SORRY FOR THE HOME BEING A NUISANCE. IT WAS MY FATHER'S, UM, I PULLED THE PERMIT AND I HAD ISSUES WITH THE CONTRACTOR, WHICH IS WHY THE ROOF AND ALL OF THAT LOOKS THE WAY IT DOES. I AM IN AGREEMENT THAT WE DO NEED TO DO DEMOLITION AND START AGAIN. I DO HAVE AN ESTIMATE SUBMITTED FOR A RELIABLE CONTRACTOR WHO JUST REBUILT MY FRIEND'S HOME, WHO I TRUST. THEY HAVE GREAT RECOMMENDATION FOR BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, A HUNDRED PERCENT SATISFACTION RATE. THEY'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR SIX YEARS. UM, THE PRIOR CONTRACTOR THAT I HAD ACTUALLY GIVEN $7,000 TO, WHICH I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR, CAME BACK AND WANTED MORE MONEY FOR THE ROOF AFTER THE FACT. AND SO THAT'S WHERE I ORIGINALLY PULLED THE PERMIT TO BEGIN THAT WORK, AND THAT'S WHERE IT STOPPED. SO, UM, MY NEW CONTRACTOR AND I BOTH AGREE WITH THE BOARD THAT WE NEED TO DO DEMOLITION AND START TO REBUILD COMPLETELY OVER, UM, IF ALLOWED AND APPROVED, I'D LIKE TO PULL THAT PERMIT TO TODAY. AND MY CONTRACTOR'S READY TO DO THE WORK ON MONDAY. I KNOW THAT MAY BE A LITTLE BIT FAST CORRECT FOR EVERYBODY IS WHAT, UM, THE OFFICER NOTIFIED ME TODAY, OFFICER GARZA, THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT QUICKLY, BUT WE ARE READY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE THE HOME IS SAFE AND WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO GET INJURED THERE. ANY QUESTIONS? UH, I I DO HAVE A QUESTION. PLEASE GO AHEAD. UM, THIS PROPERTY IS REQUIRED FOR DECONSTRUCTION. ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT? I, I GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS. IT WILL HAVE TO BE TORN DOWN BOARD BY BOARD. YEAH, THEY, THEY GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE. THIS IS WHAT THEIR ESTIMATE SAYS. UM, TRASH AND DEMOLITION AND GARBAGE OF DEBRIS AND, AND REST OF CONSTRUCTION JUST FOR THE DEMOLITION PART IS 7,500. SO I'M ASSUMING THAT THAT IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. RIGHT. UH, DOES IT SAY DEMOLITION OR DECONSTRUCTION ON YOUR, IT SAYS TRASH SLASH DEMOLITION. SO THEY'RE GIVING YOU AN ESTIMATE TO DEMOLISH. WHEN THEY DEMOLISH IT. JUST COME IN AND TEAR, TEAR IT DOWN. UH, FOR DECONSTRUCTION, PROPERTIES THAT ARE BUILT DURING CERTAIN TIME PERIODS, THEY HAVE VALUABLE, UH, WOOD AND PIECES THAT CAN STILL BE SAVED. SO THEY HAVE TO BE TAKEN APART CAREFULLY, BIT BY BIT. SO THEY CANNOT COME IN WITH MI MR. CHAIR? I, I DON'T, I MEAN, NO DISRESPECT. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THERE'S A CLARIFICATION. UM, THE BOARD IS CORRECT THAT THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE DECONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE, BUT WHAT THAT DOES MEAN IS THAT, UM, THE CONTRACTOR AND OHP HAVE TO GO AND LOOK OUT AT THE BUILDING AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE AN ASSESSMENT. UM, AND, AND, AND DEMOLITION PERMITS ARE NOT, UM, ALLOWED UNTIL THAT THAT HAPPENS. SO, UM, WHILE THE PROPERTY MIGHT BE SUBJECT TO THE DECONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE, UM, IT'S THAT, THAT, THAT DOES, EXCUSE ME, THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT HAS TO BE DECONSTRUCTED. IT HAS TO BE ASSESSED AS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT THE ORDINANCE CALLS FOR. SO I DON'T, I DON'T MEAN TO, UH, MS. MIRANDA, I DON'T MEAN TO MAKE I APPRECIATE THAT. SEEM LIKE YOU ARE INCORRECT. YOU ARE CORRECT, BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE IT'S, UM, IT'S SUBJECT TO THE DECONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE. IF THIS BOARD ORDERS A DEMOLITION, UM, UM, GIVES A DEMOLITION ORDER, THE LANGUAGE IN THAT, THAT ORDER WILL REFLECT THAT IT IS SUBJECT TO, UM, UM, FOLLOW THE, THE DECONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE, WHICH MEANS THEY WOULD GO OUT THERE, A CONTRACTOR QUALIFIED TO GO OUT THERE ALONG WITH, OH, UM, OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION, AND THEY WOULD DO AN ASSESSMENT ON THAT. AND I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT MY CONTRACTOR WAS DISCUSSING WITH ME BECAUSE HE SAID THIS WAS, WAS THE ESTIMATE, BUT HE NEEDED TO GO IN AND BEGIN THE DEMOLITION BECAUSE I, NOT ONLY WOULD I, DID I PULL THE PERMIT FOR THE ROOF, I HAD ORIGINALLY PULLED A PERMIT FOR THE FOUNDATION. SO THAT'S WHY THE P BEAM, I KNOW THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S EXTENDED. UM, I DON'T KNOW WHY THE CONTRACTOR DID THAT, BUT ALL THE FOUND THE UNDERNEATH FOUNDATION IS ACTUALLY NEW. IT'S THREE YEARS OLD. I'M NOT SURE WHY THAT PERMIT DOESN'T SHOW. NOW I DO KNOW THAT THAT CONTRACTOR NEVER FILED IT, THAT IT WAS FINISHED BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO CONTINUE DOING THE ROOF. AND THEIR WORK WAS OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU CAN SEE, HORRIFIC. AND SO I FIRED THEM AND HIRED THE NEW CONTRACTOR THERE. THERE WILL BE THE, THE ORDER WOULD COME IN IF YOU'RE IN AGREEMENT, AND IF THE BOARD IS IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU, UH, THE ORDER WOULD COME TO YOU AND THEN THE, UH, CODE OFFICER WOULD ASSIST YOU ABSOLUTELY. IN TERMS OF INFORMATION ON WHAT YOU SPECIFICALLY WOULD NEED TO DO. OKAY, GREAT. AND THE ORDER ALSO WOULD BE SPECIFIC IF IT NEEDED TO BE SPECIFIC, BUT THE ORDER BASICALLY IS GOING TO BE WHATEVER THE BOARD COMES UP WITH. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH, I'M WILLING TO WORK WITH THE CODE OFFICER, PULL THE PERMITS, AND SO IS MY CONTRACTOR. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, YEAH. WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN HERE APPEARS TO BE AN ESTIMATE FOR RECONSTRUCTING OR [01:45:01] REHABILITATING THIS PROPERTY, BUT DO I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TELLING US IS THAT, THAT YOUR PLAN NOW IS TO TOTALLY DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY. SO I'M GONNA DO NUMBER, I WANNA DO NUMBER 18 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WHICH WAS WHAT WE HAD DISCUSSED WITH THE DEMOLITION, THEM COMING IN AND TAKING OFF EVERYTHING THAT'S ROTTED THE ROOF, THE FRAMING, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ACTUAL ESTIMATE, IT'S TO REDO EVERYTHING. FOUNDATION FRAME, ROOF, PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, HVAC FLOOR. I MEAN, IT IS COMPLETELY REDOING THE HOUSE. BUT WHAT WE WANT TO START IMMEDIATELY IS THAT DEMOLITION. AND WHAT THEY'VE GIVEN ME AN ESTIMATED A TIME IS ONCE THE PERMIT OBVIOUSLY IS PULLED AND THEY HAVE THAT PERMISSION, IT WILL TAKE THEM A WEEK TO WEEK AND A HALF TO COMPLETE AND MAKE THE PROPERTY SAFE. LIKE COMPLETELY TAKING OFF ALL THE BOARDS THAT ARE ROTTED, THE ROOF, THE SIDING, IF THE, THE FRAME NEEDS TO BE GONE, WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE TAKEN APART. THEY'RE WILLING TO DO THAT WITHIN A WEEK TO A WEEK AND A HALF. OKAY. SO I SEE THE SCOPE OF WORK, BUT PROOF OF MEMES, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT WAS NEEDED. I CAN, I CAN SHOW THAT I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE SINCE, SINCE IT WOULD BE AN ORDER OF DEMOLITION. THAT PARTICULAR PROOF DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AVAILABLE. OH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THERE ARE NONE. THANK YOU. YOU MAY BE SEATED. THANK YOU. CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT TWO 30 ASHTOR. MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A MOTION. PLEASE GO AHEAD.

THE, THE CHAIR WOULD NORMALLY GIVE AN OWNER ANY, ANY AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THE OWNER NEEDED, BUT SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A FULLY EXECUTED CONTRACT, I'M GOING TO ALLOW HIM TO AT LEAST TAKE ONE MORE MINUTE TO SUMMARIZE WHAT HE WISHES TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY.
