SO TOTAL FOR ALL ABATEMENTS WAS 1,496 DI
AND ON THE AUGUST WHEN, WHAT WAS IT FOR? WHAT? NO, I'M SORRY.
UH, SO FOR, FOR AUGUST OF 2024, IT WAS $201 TWO.
THE 1000 IS FOR THE TOTAL ABATEMENT OF ALL THREE.
WELL, WOULDN'T THAT BE FOUR TIMES? NO, NO, SIR.
UM, SO IT WAS AUGUST OF THIS YEAR.
AUGUST OF LAST YEAR, AND JUNE OF LAST YEAR WITH THOSE THREE ABATEMENTS.
SO THE TOTAL ABATEMENT FOR ALL THREE WAS $1,496.
IS IT SET FOR ABATEMENT AGAIN? NO, SIR.
AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE PROPERTY IS, UM, CLEANED AND SECURED.
UH, THE OWNER IS PRESENT HERE AND THEY DO HAVE PHOTOS.
AT THIS TIME, WE'LL HEAR THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY WHEN YOU COME UP.
PLEASE, UH, NAME AND, AND THE DISTRICT YOU'RE IN.
UM, I, I AM A LAWYER, BUT I'M, I'M NOT HERE REPRESENTING HER.
UM, IT'S, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHETHER IT'S UNDER PUMPKIN HOLDINGS OR CHICKENS AND BEES.
[00:20:01]
WE GROW PUMPKINS, WE HAVE CHICKENS, WE HAVE BEES.WE COULDN'T COME UP WITH A BETTER NAME.
UM, THE FIRST CONTACT I GOT FROM THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, HOLD ON SIR.
WE NEED YOUR NAME AND YOUR YOUR MY NAME IS EDDIE BRANICK.
BRANICK IS SPELLED LIKE BRAVE.
UH, MY BUSINESS ADDRESS THAT'S ON THERE IS 4 0 5 SOUTH PRESA.
AND, UM, I'VE BEEN THERE ABOUT 10 YEARS AT SOUTH PRESA.
IT'S MY ADDRESS FOR ALL THE LIENS I HOLD ON PROPERTIES.
WHAT HAPPENED ON THIS PROPERTY? UM, AND, AND I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU REASONS, NOT EXCUSES, IS THAT THERE WAS INSURANCE ON THIS PROPERTY, BUT THERE WAS A BIG INSURANCE FIGHT BECAUSE IT'S ALMOST CERTAIN THAT IT WAS AN INTENTIONAL ACT, WHETHER AN ACCIDENT THAT THE FIRE WAS.
SO WITH MOST PROPERTIES, WHAT YOU DO IS IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS IS YOU MAKE AN INSURANCE CLAIM, THE INSURANCE PAYS IT, YOU IMMEDIATELY CAN START TO DO THAT.
IF YOU'VE EVER FOUGHT WITH AN INSURANCE COMPANY, IT'S NOT A PLEASANT THING AND THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY YOU.
SO IT TOOK US ABOUT A YEAR PLUS OR MINUS TO FIGHT WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
HAD IT BEEN DONE BEFORE, YOU WOULD SEE A NEW PROPERTY IN FRONT OF YOU.
I DO HAVE SOME PICTURES WHERE IT'S BEEN CLEANED.
I I, I'LL JUST REPRESENT TO YOU, IT'S BEEN CLEANED.
I DON'T, IT'S PEANUTS, NOT THE BIG THINGS HERE.
YOU ALSO NOTICED IT WAS SECURED.
UM, WE SECURED IT WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, AT MOST AFTER THE FIRE.
UM, AND WE CHECK, WE CHECKED IT EVERY, I CAN'T SAY WE GO BY EVERY DAY.
THAT'S A, THAT WOULD BE NOT TRUE, BUT ABOUT EVERY MONTH TO MAKE SURE THAT'S, NO ONE'S IN THERE BECAUSE SQUATTERS COME BY.
I, I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THIS PROPERTY.
AND MY ADDRESS HAS BEEN THE SAME UNTIL I GOT THE LIEN NOTICE THAT WAS IN, AND I'M GONNA SAY SOMETIME IN OCTOBER.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT WE'D DONE BEFORE.
ONCE WE DETERMINED THAT INSURANCE WAS NOT GONNA COVER IT, UM, I HAD A CONTRACTOR'S NAME IS JOSE CASTRO.
UM, GO OUT AND DO AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD TAKE.
AND IT'S A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY, AT LEAST FOR ME AND FOR MS. SEGOVIA AT $75,000.
WHAT I COULDN'T DO IS I DON'T HAVE $75,000 IN MY BACK POCKET.
WHAT I DID IS I PUT UP ONE OF MY LIENS AND I PUT IT UP TO SECURE A BANK LOAN WHERE HE GIVE ME CASH.
I THEN TALKED WITH MS. SEGOVIA, AND THIS WAS AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER.
IT WAS ACTUALLY WITH HER SON JONATHAN, MOSTLY, UM, TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE IN THE TERMS OF WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO.
ESSENTIALLY, MY AGREEMENT WITH HER, WHICH MAY NOT BE IMPORTANT HERE, BUT IT TOOK US TO WORK AT THE DETAILS, WAS THAT I WOULD PAY FOR THE REDO AND WE WOULD REDO THE NOTE TO, UH, ADD THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY.
I FELT BAD THAT THE INSURANCE DIDN'T COVER IT.
I DIDN'T WANT THE PROPERTY TO GO SOUTH.
I DON'T KNOW WHY SOUTH IS ALWAYS A BAD PLACE, BUT I DIDN'T WANT IT TO GO SOUTH.
UM, AND WE, WE WANTED TO REDO IT.
AND THIS WAS IN SEPTEMBER THAT WE CAME TO THE AGREEMENT.
WE THEN WENT AND TRIED TO PULL THE PERMIT SOMETIME IN LATE SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER, AND WE GOT AN ANSWER OF, I I HAVEN'T DEALT WITH ONE OF THESE FIRED PROPERTIES FOR A LONG TIME THAT YOU CAN'T PULL THE PERMITS IN OTHER, THIS IS BEFORE I EVER GOT THE NOTICE.
SO THEN WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, WHICH I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH.
I PRACTICED FOR GOD'S SAKES, MORE CRIMINAL LAW THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
UM, SO WE FIGURED OUT WE HAVE TO GET THE FIRE MARSHAL OUT THERE.
NOW, I WILL TELL YOU, THE FIRE MARSHAL WAS NOT GOTTEN OUT THERE BEFORE I GOT THE NOTICE.
BUT WHEN I GOT THE NOTICE, WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS, AND I DON'T, MR. CASTOR WOULD BE HERE TO SAY THE SAME THING.
I HAD ALREADY SENT MY CONTRACTOR BY TO TRY TO PULL THE PERMITS.
I'D SECURED THE FINANCING TO DO IT.
MR. GOVE WOULD TELL YOU THAT WE COME TO THE AGREEMENT AMOUNT OF THE TERMS. MY CONTRACTOR HAD SAID 75,000 FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND THE ACCESSORY DWELLING.
I CONSIDER THAT A PRETTY GOOD PRICE CONSIDERING IT WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THAT NOTICE.
UM, AND, AND I ACTED, I MEAN, I WAS ALREADY ACTING, BUT I ACTED AS, AS QUICKLY AS I COULD, IS I TOLD MS. SEGOVIA, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE GOTTA GET THE FIRE MARSHAL OUT THERE.
THE FIRE MARSHAL HAS GONE OUT THERE AND, AND I KNOW IN THESE PICTURES THEY'RE NOT SHOWING YOU THE GOOD, BUT WHAT THE FIRE MARSHAL DETERMINE IS THE ACTUAL FIRE DAMAGE, AND THIS IS HIS REPORT ON FILE WITH THE CITY IS ABOUT 5%.
NOW, THAT'S TRUE AND NOT TRUE.
IT'S TRUE WITH THE APPEARS IN THE BEAMS THAT THOSE ARE 5%.
IT'S TRUE WITH THE AREA THAT'S DAMAGED.
WHAT I WILL TELL YOU FROM REDOING PLACES I HAVE REDONE ONE WITH FIRE IS YOU CAN'T JUST REDO THAT 5% BESIDES THE FACT THIS PLACE NEEDED WORK.
YOU'VE GOT THE DRYWALL THAT SMELLS LIKE FIRE.
YOU CAN'T JUST PULL PART OF THE ELECTRICAL WHEN THERE'S BEEN A FIRE.
YOU GOTTA RIP OUT THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL, THE PLUMBING, IT'S DEPENDENT.
IF IT'S THE NEW PLASTIC STUFF THAT THEY PUT IN, THEN YOU HAVE TO RIP IT ALL OUT.
THE GOOD OR BAD NEWS IS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY HAS
[00:25:01]
MORE METAL PIPES.'CAUSE IT'S OLDER, SO WE WON'T HAVE TO REDO THE PLUMBING.
THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT $110,000 OR A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
UM, THERE IS SOME CONFUSION AND AND I I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
I KNOW THE STATUTE SAYS THAT THEY GO BY THE ADDRESS THAT'S LISTED ON THERE.
SHE HAS ABOUT SIX PROPERTIES IN HER NAME.
ONE IS ACTIVE 27 19 RUNNING FAWN.
AND THAT'S ON ABOUT FOUR OF HER PROPERTIES.
TWO OF THEM, 1150 SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW IS NOT ACTIVE.
WHEN YOU CONTACT HER AT 27 19 RUNNING FAWN, YOU GET IT ALL DAY.
SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS I UNDERSTAND THEY DID WHAT THE STATUTE SAID BY CONTACTING THE OWNER OF THE ADDRESS LISTED.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT HER OTHER ADDRESSES AND YOU TRY ONE OF THE OTHERS, THEY'RE ALL, THE REST OF THEM ALL ACTIVE.
THE, IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT I'M SAYING IS MS. SEGOVIA JUST HAD ONE OF HER ADDRESSES THAT WAS BAD.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU, IF YOU CONTACT ME, I HAVE MANY BAD QUALITIES.
MY, EVEN MY WIFE WILL TELL YOU, ONE OF MY GOOD QUALITIES IS I'M RESPONSIVE.
I DON'T WAIT TILL TOMORROW WHEN SHE SAYS THERE'S A PROBLEM AT THE HOUSE.
I GO FIX IT THEN BECAUSE I FIND SHE AND OTHER PEOPLE LIKE YOU YELL AT ME IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THEY WANTED A SCOPE OF WORK.
BUT IT COULDN'T BE DONE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE THE FIRE MARSHAL TELLING US THE PERCENTAGE DAMAGE.
UM, AND I WILL TELL YOU, HAVING, I'M NOT A CONSTRUCTION PERSON, I HAVEN'T DONE IT.
THIS IS NOT A THREE MONTH PROJECT.
AND FORGIVE ME IF YOU, IF YOU AGREED TO LET US DO IT, IF YOU AGREED TO LET US SUBMIT THE, THE SCOPE OF WORK AND WE WILL PULL EACH AND EVERY PERMIT.
I'M NOT A PERMIT AVOIDER CERTAINLY NOT A PROPER LIKE THIS.
IF YOU ALLOW US TO DO THIS, I, I MEAN IF YOU WANT TO RESET US THREE MONTHS, THAT'S FINE, BUT IT'S NOT GONNA BE DONE THE RIGHT WAY.
AND, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO, WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS SET US UP FOR SUCCESS, NOT FAILURE.
IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU GIVE US SIX MONTHS AND, AND MR. GOY AND I JUST HAD ONE PROPERTY THAT ACTUALLY TOOK A YEAR THAT LOOKED LIKE A TRAIN WRECK HIT ON IT.
IT'S ACTUALLY GOT A, A BETTER P PIER AND BEAM SYSTEM.
UH, MOST OF THE REST OF THE HOUSE, THE PIER AND BEAMS ARE FINE.
NOT THE BURNT ONES, NOT THE BACK.
THE ACCESSORY STRETCHER IS WEIRD, BUT THIS HOUSE ISN'T FUNKY ON THE PIERS AND BEAMS. IT, IT'S FAIRLY LEVEL.
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REPLACING SOME PIERS AND BEAMS AND THEN WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO STABILIZE THE HOUSE, JUST REPLACE THE PIERS AND BEAMS AND, AND ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS TERRIBLE, THE MAIN THING BESIDES THAT ACTUALLY IS THE ELECTRICAL.
AND, AND FORGIVE ME, I DON'T HOLD NOTES ON A PROPERTY THAT I WOULD NOT LIVE IN.
AND I'M NOT SAYING I WOULD WANT TO LIVE IN THE PROPERTY.
IT WOULD BE THE AREA OF TOWN I CHOOSE TO LIVE IN.
BUT I WON'T HOLD A NOTE ON A PROPERTY THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE ELECTRICAL DONE PROPERTY.
AND, AND THAT'S NOT JUST A BUSINESS DECISION.
I, I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF IF A HOUSE BURNED DOWN, SOMEONE DIED.
IT'S JUST WORTH IT TO ME TO DO THAT.
WE WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING THE RIGHT WAY.
UH, I I WILL TELL YOU THE SECOND I GOT THE NOTICE, MR. GORY WOULD TELL YOU, I I CALLED HER WITHIN MAYBE FIVE MINUTES AND I SAID, ADELLA, I'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS PROPERTY FOR TWO MONTHS.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET MOVING.
UM, BUT WHAT I'M ASKING THE BOARD FOR IS IF YOU WANT US TO COME BACK WITH A SCOPE OF WORK, WE HAVE NO ISSUE DOING THAT.
I I, I WOULD PREFER NOT TO COME BACK AND TAKE YOUR TIME A SECOND TIME BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE WASTING IT.
WHAT I'D ASK YOU TO DO IS GIVE US LIKE A TWO WEEKS, THREE WEEKS TO GIVE YOU THE SCOPE OF WORK.
UM, IF YOU NEED A LETTER SHOWING THAT I HAVE, I HAVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BETWEEN MY TWO ACCOUNTS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADELA.
I KEEP THEM DIFFERENT BANKS, BUT I, I CAN GIVE YOU LIKE, I MEAN, I'D CROSS OUT THE BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER, BUT I CAN SHOW YOU I HAVE THE MONEY TO, TO DO IT.
AND UM, ADELA ASKED, I SPEAK FIRST BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THE MONEY WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE.
AND SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE THINKS LAWYERS ARE BETTER AT SPEAKING.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S ALWAYS TRUE.
I OFTEN FIND THAT ACTUALLY THE, THE FOLKS ARE MORE CONVINCING, BUT THE MONEY PART IS IMPORTANT.
UM, JOSE CASTRO, IF YOU NEEDED HIM, WOULD BE ABLE TO TESTIFY.
HE CAN GET YOU THE SCOPE OF WORK.
JOSE HAS DONE 10 OTHER HOUSES FOR ME.
HE'S, IF YOU KNOW THE HENNEKE AROUND TOWN, HE DOES THEIR WORK.
UH, WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS THIS ISN'T A, SOME GUY SOMEWHERE THAT'S DOING SOMETHING.
HE, HE PULLS THE PERMITS, HE'S GONNA DO IT.
SO I'M ASKING YOU FOR SIX MONTHS.
'CAUSE IN SIX MONTHS, ONE OF TWO THINGS IS GONNA HAPPEN.
YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE PROPERTY AND THINK YOU'RE 90 TO 95% THERE OR IT'S GONNA BE DONE.
AND I, I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE DONE.
I ASKED MR. BURNS, WHO I'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS, AND HE MAY NOT LIKE ME SAYING THIS IN PUBLIC, BUT I HAPPEN TO CONSIDER A FRIEND AND A GOOD GUY.
AND HE TOLD ME SIX MONTHS IS WHAT WE COULD ASK FOR.
SO I, WHAT I CAN'T 100% TELL YOU, AND I TRY NOT TO SAY A, IF IT'S GONNA BE B IS THAT WE'LL BE A HUNDRED PERCENT DONE.
BUT YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE PROPERTY IF THERE'S AN ISSUE AND THINK YOU'VE GOTTA PUT A WATER HEATER IN OR SOMETHING.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE SIX MONTHS.
[00:30:01]
FOR THE SERIES OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED IT HERE.HAD I BEEN CONTACTED, I, I I, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT IN THE CODE, I, I WOULD'VE KNOWN THAT PEOPLE WERE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AND I WOULD'VE TAKEN WHATEVER STEPS WAS ASKED ABOUT QUICKER.
UM, BUT I CAN ONLY DO MY BEST FOUGHT WITH THE INSURANCES OR RECAP AND THEN SPOKE WITH THEM AHEAD OF THE KNOWING THAT IT WAS ON THE, UM, THE DANGEROUS STRUCTURES.
AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING BEFORE WE KNEW IT WAS ON Y'ALL'S RADAR.
THAT'S WHAT I RAISE MY HAND AND SAY, I'M OPEN FOR QUESTIONS, TRY NOT TO TALK TOO FAST.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THE INFORMATION WITH THE INSURANCE COMMUNICATION? I DON'T.
THE INSURANCE COMPANY I USED BACK THEN WAS FARMERS AND UH, IT WAS SOLD FROM MONICA JAMES TO PATRICK YOHI.
UH, I'M JUST GIVING YOU THE INFORMATION SO YOU'RE NOT NO, NOT JUST DOING WHATEVER.
I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH PATRICK YOHI.
I NOW USE A GUY NAMED, SHOOT, HE'S A BIG ENGINEER.
IT'S OKAY, I'M GONNA ACCEPT YES OR NO.
I DON'T, I CAN'T PROVE THE, THE 'CAUSE MONICA NO LONGER IS IN BUSINESS AND SO ALL THE EMAILS SHE HAD ARE GONE.
THE, THE FIRE OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER OF 23 PLUS OR MINUS A MONTH.
AND WHEN WAS THE INSURANCE COMPANY COMMUNICATED WITH FIRST, DO YOU KNOW? SO I'M, I'M TELLING YOU MY BEST MEMORY.
AND WHEN DID THEY, OR HAD THEY ACTUALLY MADE A PAYMENT? THEY MADE ZERO.
UH, HAD I MADE PAYMENTS ON THE INSURANCE OR DID THEY? NO.
HAS FARMER'S INSURANCE MADE ANY PAYMENT? ZERO.
SO YOU'RE STILL IN CONTACT OR CONFLICT WITH FARMER'S INSURANCE.
SO BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS YOU'VE GOT MONEY THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO PUT ON THE LINE, UH, EITHER IN HOPES OF INSURANCE PAYING OR, UH, ANGEL PAYING.
WITH, I WOULD ASK THE ONE CAVEAT I HAVING LOOKED AT THE INSURANCE POLICY, PART OF THE PROBLEM IS MONICA WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND SOLD IT TO PATRICK.
I DIDN'T GO INTO THOSE DETAILS.
I WILL TELL YOU, BASED ON WHAT I'VE BEEN SHOWN, I DON'T THINK THAT WE'RE GONNA GET A DOLLAR FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT I WASN'T CONVINCED ABOUT THAT UNTIL ABOUT AUGUST OR EARLY SEPTEMBER.
SO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ME THAT IN THE HOPES I GET IT BACK, MY HOPE IS ABOUT 0% THAT I'M GONNA GET THE MONEY BACK FROM INSURANCE.
BUT WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GET YOUR MONEY THEN FROM? THEY'RE GONNA INCREASE THE NOTE BY THE AMOUNT THAT I PUT IN.
IN OTHER WORDS, MY CURRENT NOTE ON THE PROPERTY, I BELIEVE IS ONE 40 MORE OR LESS THAT SHE, ADELA OWNS ME ABOUT ONE 40 ON THE PROPERTY.
WE'RE GONNA INCREASE THE NOTE TO ABOUT 2 10, 2 15.
WE'VE, WE'VE GOT, LET ME BACK UP TO THE ISSUE.
THE STORY OF THE SECONDARY OR THE ACCESSORY BUILDING IS THE SECOND ISSUE.
HOW DID THE SECOND STORE, UH, THE, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE GET INTO THE CONDITION THAT IT IS IN? SO I HAVE FORECLOSED IN THE 15 YEARS.
I'VE DONE THIS ON A TOTAL OF TWO PROPERTIES.
THIS IS ONE OF THE TWO, THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE.
AND I DIDN'T GO INTO THESE DETAILS.
UM, THE WOMAN MADE THE PAYMENTS AND THEN SHE STOPPED MAKING THE PAYMENTS.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW SOMEONE WAS GONNA CALL ME.
THEY SAID, WELL, SHE'S USING DRUGS.
SO I SAID, WELL, YOU PAY ME THEN.
AND SO OVER A YEAR AND A HALF, I SAID, LET'S, LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT PAYMENT.
SO THE, I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES OF FINANCE.
THE FAMILY WENT AND MESSED WITH THAT WHEN I BELIEVE THEY FIRED.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WAS FINE UNTIL THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE.
AND I BELIEVE THAT THE FAMILY THAT WAS HOOKED ON DRUGS WENT AND SCREWED UP THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
AND THAT INCLUDES THE COLLAPSE OF THE PORCH THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THE COLLAPSE OF THE PORCH, I DON'T REMEMBER.
I CAN ONLY SAY WHAT I REMEMBER.
WERE THERE OTHER QUESTIONS? OTHER QUESTION? NO, UH, I GOT IT.
YOU'RE LUCKY TODAY 'CAUSE YOU HAVE TWO CONTRACTORS AND AN ENGINEER ON THIS BOARD TODAY.
NOW YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THAT YOU HAD TALKED TO A CONTRACTOR.
SO YOUR SCOPE OF WORK WAS VERBAL, NOT WRITTEN TRUE.
AND THE ONLY OTHER THING WAS YOUR TIMELINE, WHICH YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN US.
YOU JUST SAID MORE THAN THREE MONTHS.
WELL, I, I, I MEAN I, SO I HAVEN'T PUT IT IN WRITING BECAUSE NO, NO.
THOSE TWO, THERE'S THREE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE SURE TO BE PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD.
FINANCES YOUR TIMELINE, WHICH YOU TALKED ABOUT, BUT YOU NEVER REALLY GET DEFINED THE TIMELINE AND THEN YOUR, UH, SCOPE OF WORK.
AND YOU DIDN'T FINISH THIS ONE.
[00:35:01]
THE, SO WITH ALL OF THAT, YOU SAID YOU COULD PRODUCE THAT.THE INTENT OF BOTH PARTIES IS TO FIX THE PROPERTY UP, GET IT, GET IT TO WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY MAKE AN INCOME INSTEAD OF A DEFICIT.
WITH THAT SAID, WHAT IS YOUR TIMELINE THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO HAVE IT COMPLETED? I KNOW YOU SAY IT ISN'T IN WRITING IF I HAVEN'T DONE BUSINESS WITH SOMEONE BEFORE.
I, I, I GET IT MORE IN WRITING.
I'VE DONE BUSINESS WITH JOSE FOR 12.
SO I ASKED JOSE, I MEAN THIS, YOU'RE ASKING ME, I'M GIVING YOU AN ANSWER.
I SAID, JOSE LONG WILL TAKE YOU.
AND YOU SAID, EDDIE, I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU THREE MONTHS, BUT IF I TELL YOU THREE MONTHS AND IT'S NOT THREE MONTHS, YOU'RE GONNA BE ON MY BUTT AND I WILL BE.
SO IF I TELL YOU SIX MONTHS, I BELIEVE I CAN HAVE IT DONE.
AND, AND THAT'S, I DON'T LIKE TO SAY ONE THING AND THEN HAVE A DIFFERENT THING.
WELL, WELL, WE IN HERE CAN'T JUST, THAT'S AN AFFINITY.
JUST LIKE AN IF, BUT YOU GAVE US A SIX MONTH, WHICH IS NORMAL CONSTRUCTION, IT MIGHT GO LONGER.
SO YOU'VE GOT FINANCIAL STATEMENT, VERBAL, AND ALL THIS IS VERBAL.
YOU HAVE A A AN ESTIMATE OF SIX MONTHS, AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR SCOPE OF WORK.
AND THE SCOPE OF WORK HAS TO BE DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK WITH, WITH ALL THAT SAID, YOU, YOU COME IN HERE WITH THAT, WITH THE INTENT TO FIX THE PROPERTY.
AND SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD IF INSURANCE PAYS, THEY PAY.
IF THEY DON'T, WELL, YOU'RE STILL TRUCKING ON.
UM, AND YOU SAID THERE'S VAGRANTS AND YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN CARING FOR THE PROPERTY.
I HAVE NOT SEEN A VAGRANT AT THIS PROPERTY.
WHAT I MEANT TO SAY, IF I DID NOT, IS WE'VE CHECKED ABOUT EVERY TWO TO FOUR WEEKS TO MAKE SURE THERE WASN'T RIGHT VAGRANT IN THE PROPERTY.
NOW THE NEXT PIECE, AND THIS MAY REQUIRE HER TO ANSWER SOME OF THIS AS WELL, WHICH THAT'S FINE WITH US.
WHEN YOU GOT THE NOTICE, THAT'S THE ONLY TIME YOU GUYS RECEIVED ANYTHING.
YOU'VE NEVER TALKED TO CODE COMPLIANCE? I HAVE NEVER SPOKEN WITH CODE COMPLIANCE.
AND, AND I, I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS, BUT I THINK SHE COULD, SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
I, I NEVER SPOKE WITH HER AND I NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL TO THE LIEN HOLDER BEFORE THE OCTOBER DATE WHEN I GOT NOTICE OF THIS HEARING.
ARE YOU, I GUESS YOU WOULD BE THE PRIMARY ON THE PROPERTY.
SO CAN YOU, CAN YOU SPEAK OR YOU WANT HIM TO SPEAK FOR IT? I'LL SPEAK.
IF YOU COULD, YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS.
UM, MY NAME IS AELA SEGOVIA AND I LIVE AT 27 1 9 RUNNING FAWN IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
DON'T ASK ME WHAT DISTRICT I AM BECAUSE I HAVE THAT.
UM, I, WHEN I PURCHASED THIS PROPERTY, THIS PROPERTY WAS INTACT.
UM, I ACTUALLY, THE DAY BEFORE I WAS ON THE PROPERTY AND I HAD JUST FINISHED PAINTING EVERYTHING EXCEPT THAT FRONT ROOM THAT HAS THE, STILL THE PATCHED UP, UH, UM, WHAT IS IT CALLED? UM, Q ROCK.
AND EVERYTHING WAS ALREADY PAINTED.
EVERYTHING WAS GETTING READY TO GO BECAUSE I WAS USE, I USE IT AS A, UM, SERVICE HOME.
UM, THAT NIGHT, I KNOW WHO IT IS, THE DETECTIVE SUBJECTIVELY KNOWS WHO IT IS, HOWEVER, WE CAN'T CONFIRM.
AND, UM, DOCTOR, UM, HIS NAME IS OFFICER MARTINEZ IS THE MARSHALL THAT'S WORKING WITH THE DETECTIVE.
THAT WAS MA DOING ALL THE, THE INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE BURNING BECAUSE IT IS ARSENAL.
UM, SO BESIDES THAT, WHEN I TOOK OVER THE PROPERTY, I'M NOT GONNA BUY A PROPERTY THAT'S $140,000 THAT'S IN SHAMBLES LIKE THAT.
I'M JUST GONNA TELL YOU THAT I AM A BUSINESS OWNER MYSELF.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT, LIKE I SAID, IT WAS COMPLETED ALL THE, SHE ROCK BROKEN DOWN.
EVERYTHING YOU SEE WAS THE ACTUAL FIRE DEPARTMENT BRINGING DOWN THINGS TO CHECK, OBVIOUSLY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE UM, FIRE IS NOT IN THE ATTIC OR ANYWHERE ELSE.
UM, THE FIRE STARTED AT THE REAR OF WHERE THE, UM, BATHROOM WAS AT THE BACK WAS NOT TORN APART LIKE THAT.
ALL THE, THE, ALL THE DAMAGE WAS DONE BY THAT INDIVIDUAL.
HE KNOCKED DOWN THE POST, HE TORE EVERY SINGLE THING.
UH, EVERY TIME I DID SOMETHING, HE'D BE THERE THAT NIGHT
[00:40:01]
AND KNOCKING IT DOWN.SO, UM, I REPORTED IT, UM, TO SAPD.
THEY SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
WELL, LIKE I SAID, I, THE PROPERTY BECAME DESTRUCTIVE KIND OF EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEKEND, WHENEVER HE WOULD SEE US THERE, HE WOULD GO BACK AND DESTROY WHAT I JUST FIXED.
SO IT WAS JUST A BATTLE BACK AND FORTH.
BUT THE PROPERTY WAS NOT IN THE CONDITION THAT YOU SEE IT NOW, ALL THAT WAS DONE BY THAT INDIVIDUAL.
AND FOR THE RECORD, IT'S SUSPECTED ARSON 'CAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN, IT'S SUSPECTED ARSON.
AND YOU SAID ARSON, SO WE CAN'T, IT'S SUSPECTED, IT'S NOT A PROVEN DEAL AT THIS TIME.
UM, FAST FORWARD TO THE NOTICES, RIGHT.
WHEN DID YOU GET YOUR FIRST NOTICE? OKAY, SO MS. STEPHANIE, UM, ON THE, ON THE DEED, I DID NOT REALIZE, OR THE PUBLIC RECORD HAS THE WRONG ADDRESS.
THEY HAVE AN ADDRESS OF A MALL OR LIKE A LITTLE STRIP CENTER.
THAT I DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH MS. STEPHANIE UNTIL OCTOBER.
AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I GOT, UH, UM, NOTICE WAS BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY DROVE TO 27 1 9 RUNNING FAWN.
AND SHE LEFT ME A NOTICE ON THE DOOR.
I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HER THE FOLLOWING MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER FIVE O'CLOCK WHEN I GOT TO MY HOME, I CALLED HER IMMEDIATELY AND SHE GAVE ME THE RUNDOWN, OH, YOUR, YOUR PROPERTY'S GONNA GET DEMOLISHED.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A HEARING ON NOVEMBER 7TH AT NINE O'CLOCK, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
UM, SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? SHE SAYS, WELL, YOU NEED TO HAVE A, A WORK OF SCOPE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, FINANCIAL.
SHE WENT DOWN THE LIST AND I SAID, OKAY, BUT HOW AM I GONNA DO THIS? SO AT THE MEANTIME, UM, I HAD COMMUNICATION WITH HER.
IT, IT WAS A SHORT TIME, LIKE WITHIN THREE, HERE WE ARE, NOVEMBER 7TH, UH, SIXTH.
AND, UM, WHEN I WENT TO THE PROPERTY LAST WEEK WITH HER, BECAUSE I NEEDED TO GET THIS GUY TO GO OUT, I CAME IMMEDIATELY.
AS SOON AS SHE TOLD ME, YOU NEED TO GET A FIRE MARSHAL.
'CAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO PULL PERMITS OR WHATEVER TO TRY TO START THE, THE, AS MR. VIC HAD MENTIONED, WE HAD ALREADY AGREED ABOUT, UM, GETTING IT STARTED.
AND SO WE TRIED TO PULL PERMITS AND THEY SAID, THE CONTRACTOR SAID, NO, YOU NEED TO GO OVER THERE.
THEY'RE GONNA REQUIRE YOU TO DO A FILE FIRE INSPECTION OR DEMO, UH, SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
I SAID, OKAY, I'LL BE THERE THIS AFTERNOON, WHICH WAS LAST WEEK.
I CAME AND DID THE FORM FOR THEY, SO THEY COULD GO OUT AND DO THE INSPECTION ON, UH, THURSDAY WAS, I THINK IT WAS FRIDAY.
UM, THE GENTLEMAN, UH, ARTURO SILVA WAS THE ONE THAT WENT OUT THERE, BUT IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HIM.
SO THEY SENT MS. ARTURO OUT THERE.
UM, AND SO HE DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING.
HE WENT THROUGH, WE TOOK PICTURES AND WHAT HAVE YOU, AND THEN HE SAYS I'LL HAVE, I GUESS 'CAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE REALLY THE TIME TO DO IT 'CAUSE HE WAS FILLING IN FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
UM, AND HE JUST TOLD ME, HE SAYS, UM, GO AND GET THE REPORT ON, UH, BEFORE YOUR HEARING.
AND THIS IS WHAT THEY GAVE ME YESTERDAY.
UM, IT'S JUST, UH, IT'S JUST WHAT THEY HAVE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENTER THAT INTO THE RECORD? SURE.
CAN YOU GIVE IT TO THEM SO THEY CAN GIVE IT TO LEGAL TO REVIEW IT AND THEN YOU CAN CONTINUE.
SO TECHNICALLY IT WAS, I GOT CONTACTED, LIKE WHO, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER.
I DON'T EVEN, IT, IT WAS IN OCTOBER.
I COULD JUST TELL YOU THAT I DON'T KNOW SPECIFICALLY WHAT DAY IT WAS THAT SHE LEFT THE NOTICE ON MY DOOR.
THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE BEFORE YOU GET HERE MM-HMM
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF STEPS BEFORE IT ENDS UP HERE.
ONE OF THEM IS THAT THEY SET A MEETING UP WITH STAFF, SO ALL THIS STUFF CAN BE WORKED OUT.
AND YOU GUYS ARE, YOU GUYS ARE TELLING ME THAT THAT WAS NEVER OFFERED BECAUSE YOU GOT THE STATEMENTS OR THAT THE NOTICES A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
AND THAT, AND I'M SORRY, I'M NODDING MY HEAD YES.
WELL NO, BUT I WAS NEVER OFFERED ANYTHING.
I SPOKE TO STEPHANIE LAST FOR WHAT, I MET HER FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME LAST WEEK.
UH, WAS IT THURSDAY OR FRIDAY? FRIDAY.
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME WHEN I DROVE UP, BECAUSE I WAS WAITING FOR THE GENTLEMAN TO COME AND DO THE INSPECTION.
[00:45:01]
AND STEPHANIE WAS THERE AND I SAID, OH, YOU'RE HERE TO DO THAT.AND SHE INTRODUCED HERSELF TO ME.
SHE GOES, I'M STEPHANIE THE BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
I FINALLY GET TO PUT THE, THE NAME, THE FACE TO THE NAME.
AND UM, BUT THAT WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME HERE.
ALL THIS OTHER TIME I WAS HERE TRYING TO PULL PERMITS, DO WHAT I NEEDED TO DO.
UM, AND THEREFORE THAT WAS THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT I ACTUALLY HAD A CONTACT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PEOPLE.
SO IF WE'RE LOOKING AWAY FROM YOU, IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE NOT PAYING NO.
BY ALL MEANS WE'RE I UNDERSTAND REVIEWING DOCUMENTS ON THE SCREEN.
SO WE'RE REVIEWING THE SAME DOCUMENTS ON THE MONITOR.
SO WE'RE NOT IGNORING YOU, WE'RE JUST NO, NO.
AND THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO YOUR, UH, THE INSPECTION FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT STEPHANIE WAS OUT THERE AT MY PROPERTY THAT I SAW HER FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
AND I NO, NO, THE FIRE MARSHAL.
YOU HAVEN'T GOT A WRITTEN REPORT? NO, MA'AM.
THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT THEY PROVIDED ME.
UM, YESTERDAY WHEN I CAME AND I KEPT ON ASKING THEM, I NEED A REPORT OF SOME SORT TELLING ME WHAT STRUCTURE, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO MOVE ON FROM FORWARD? WHY DON'T WE LOOK AND SEE THAT, THAT THAT'S YEAH.
THAT, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT NOW.
BUT SOMETIMES THEY GIVE A LITTLE MORE IN DEPTH AND SO WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THIS.
AND SO I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE LOOKING AT IT.
YEAH, I WAS TRYING TO HELP NOT.
YEAH, WE HAVE MONITORS THAT, THAT YOU CAN SEE THE SAME THING WE HAVE.
SO THAT REALLY DOESN'T, I, I WAS MORE, MORE LOOKING FOR A WRITTEN, UM, STATEMENT SAYING, YOU KNOW, THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
THIS IS WHAT MY FINDINGS WERE OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, I, I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THIS DOCUMENT SEEMS TO BE EXPLAINING TO ME IS IT HAS ALL THE PERMITS LISTED THAT ARE GONNA BE REQUIRED TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME ENGINEERING PLANS FOR THIS FOUNDATION.
IT APPEARS YOU GOT ELECTRICAL FOUNDATION, MECHANICAL, UM, ACCESSORY BUILDING PERMIT, GENERAL PLUMBING PERMIT, AND A RESIDENTIAL REPAIR PERMIT.
THAT'S ALL, WHICH IS ALL THE BASIC STUFF.
AND THAT SEEMS TO BE AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT WELL, I ALSO LOOK AT WHERE IT SAYS ON THE, UH, WALLS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I'M ASSUMING THAT'S 5% DAMAGE MM-HMM
SOME OF 'EM WRITE THAT OUT AS A FIVE.
BUT THAT'S, SO THAT'S YOUR FIRE REPORT.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED LAST FRIDAY.
SO WHEN THEY TOLD YOU ABOUT THE PERMIT, YOU COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT THIS.
AND ALSO THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T REALLY PULL ANYTHING OR TO EVEN START, BECAUSE THAT'S NOT SAYING THAT THIS BOARD WAS GONNA DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE GONNA DEMOLISH IT.
I IT WAS UNTIL AFTER THE DECISION OR THE HEARING WAS TAKING PLACE FIRST BEFORE I COULD EVEN START ANYTHING ELSE.
AND SO THAT'S WHERE I'M AT, MR. CHAIR, THIS IS DWAYNE NELSON.
UH, I'M NOT SURE WE HAVE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION.
ASK ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? NOT AT THIS TIME.
NOW, NOW YOU CAN GO WITH THAT BECAUSE I AGREE, I'M NOT REAL SURE WE HAVE SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS PROPERTY BASED ON, ON JUST WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.
UH, AND THE TIME FACTOR, OBVIOUSLY, UH, THERE'S AN ISSUE IN TERMS OF IS IT OR IS IT NOT A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE? AND YES, IT'S A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE PER WAY PRIOR TO TODAY'S DATE, BUT THE AB NOTIFICATION DISTURBED ME A LITTLE BIT.
UH, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS, WHAT OCCURRED FROM 1920 OR 2023 SHOWED MY AGE, I GUESS.
NO, IT WASN'T BEFORE, BEFORE 23.
BUT, BUT THERE'S JUST INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION AND, AND BASED ON THAT FACT AND, AND WHAT THE INFORMATION THAT THAT'S GIVEN TO US, THERE'S, THERE'S THE POTENTIAL TO, TO REPAIR.
UH, I WILL TELL YOU, UH, THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST THAT'S BEEN QUOTED TO YOU.
UH, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE PREPARED TO SPEND MORE THAN THE $75,000 THAT'S IN THE CONTRACT, BUT IT'S A CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TWO STRUCTURES TO DEAL WITH.
YOU'VE GOT THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE AND YOU'VE GOT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, UH, AND THERE'S SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE THERE.
BUT I, AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION, UH, TO REALLY MAKE A FULL DECISION.
AND WITH THAT, I WOULD MOVE THAT WE RESET THE CASE.
LET ME ASK ONE QUESTION THAT I DON'T THINK'S BEEN ASKED.
[00:50:01]
THE BACK HOUSE HAVE A KITCHEN? THE ACCESSORY? IT JUST HAS A, WELL, I AM ASSUMING IT'S A KITCHEN.IT HAD CABINETS WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
UM, THE NEXT QUESTION IS, IS IT HOOKED INTO THE MAIN SEWER? THAT'S GOTTA ALL BE INVESTIGATED AS WELL, ALONG WITH THE PLUMBING AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
WITH THAT SAID, IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? IS THERE ANYTHING ON THE BOARD? ANY DISCUSSION? I I WOULD JUST PIGGYBACK ON WHAT DWAYNE WAS SAYING EARLIER, LOOKING AT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THIS HOUSE ONLY BEING 400 SQUARE FEET, UM, I THINK THAT THE BUDGET IS PROBABLY SUFFICIENT DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE, AND I THINK THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO COVER IT.
SO I JUST PIGGYBACKING OFF OF WHAT DWAYNE SAID, AND I, I'M SHORT SOME INFORMATION HERE TODAY, AND I I WOULD AGREE.
SO WE WANT TO DO WHAT MAKES YOU COMFORTABLE, RIGHT? RIGHT.
WE, WE WANNA DO WHAT MAKES, AND, AND WE DON'T GET MANY CASES WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO DO SOMETHING, BUT THEY CAN'T BECAUSE INSURANCE, I THINK INSURANCE PLAYED A BIG ROLE MM-HMM
WELL, AND I'LL JUST BE BLUNT THE WAY THE INSURANCE SHOWED IT TO ME, AND I WANNA BE HONEST, I EXPECT TO GET $0 FROM IT.
I'M MAD, FRANKLY, IT WAS PART OF THE REASON THAT I SWITCHED INSURANCE COMPANIES.
BUT, UM, I MEAN, IT IS WHAT IT IS, RIGHT? UM, YEAH.
SO TELL ME WHAT YOU I I MEAN WELL, WE'LL GET THE SCOPE OF WHAT YOU CAN'T ASK A QUESTION.
THAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN'T ASK IN THIS COURSE IS QUESTION.
YOU KNOW, AND THE, THE SAD PART ABOUT THE WHOLE THING IS THAT IT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY RIGHT AFTER WE PURCHASED IT.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN? SO IT, I COULD SEE WHY THE INSURANCE PROBABLY SAID, OH, THEY PROBABLY DELIBERATELY DID IT.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
UH, I WILL SAY THIS, YOU'RE GONNA NEED THE THREE DOCUMENTS WE TALKED ABOUT.
THAT WOULD BE YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
DO YOU WANT HERS OR MINE? IT DOESN'T MATTER.
AS LONG AS YOU CAN PROVE THAT THE PROPERTY CAN BE PAID FOR.
ARE ALL REPAIRS BANK SUFFICIENT SHOWING YOU THAT MONEY? UH, THE, THE REAL ANSWER IS I NEED HER FINANCIAL.
SHE'S THE PROPERTY BECAUSE SHE'S THE PROPERTY OWNER.
WELL, HE'S A, HE'S A LIENHOLDER, HE'S A LIEN HOLDER.
HE CAN DO, BUT, BUT, BUT IT WOULD BE, YEAH.
SHE, SHE IS GONNA GET THAT INFORMATION FROM HIM.
BUT SHE IS THE ONE WHO IS NEEDING TO PRESENT RIGHT INFORMATION TO US.
YOU ALSO NEED A SCOPE OF WORK IN DETAIL AND YOU NEED TIMELINE.
YOU ALSO NEED, ACCORDING TO THAT REPORT AND ENGINEER'S REPORT, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT.
SO EVERYTHING THAT THE FIRE MARSHAL HAS ON THERE IS WHAT YOU'RE GONNA REQUIRE.
BUT THOSE THREE DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS PIECE HERE.
SO THE ENGINEERING REPORT I HAVE TO REQUEST, UH, I GET THE LETTER FROM UP THERE.
YOU GET THE LETTER FROM, EXCUSE ME.
ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE IN REGARDS TO PROCESS? WE'RE GONNA REFER TO THE, UH, THE CODE OFFICER, UH, THE DP OFFICER.
PROVIDE ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS TO THE BOARD.
AND BOARD, I'D LIKE TO REFRAIN FOR YOU GUYS PROVIDING, UM, DIRECTIONS ON NEXT STEPS.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND, AND LEAVE THAT TO THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES OFFICER.
UM, SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON A FLOOR FOR RESET.
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND SIT DOWN.
WE'RE, WE'RE GETTING READY TO VOTE.
WE HAVE A MOTION ON FLOOR FOR RESET.
ROBERT BINKY HAS SECOND THAT MOTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL OPPOSED FAVOR IS YOU GET A RESET AND YOU CAN TALK TO YOUR CO COMPLIANCE.

UM, I GOT THAT PROPERTY UP BACK IN, UH, 2016.
YOU CAN BRING THE MIC TO YOU IF YOU NEED IT.
SO, UM, THE HOUSE NEXT TO IT, I USED TO LIVE THERE, THE NEIGHBORS THERE.
THAT HOUSE HAS BEEN VACANT AND BURNED FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, SO THERE WAS NO ACTIVITY THERE, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
UM, I BROUGHT THAT, I BOUGHT THAT HOUSE IN 2016 AND EVER SINCE THEN, YOU KNOW, WE'VE KEPT IT CLEAN.
THEN I HIRED SOME PEOPLE TO, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, IT'S ALL STUDS IN THERE.
'CAUSE WHEN I TOOK OVER, I WENT THERE, CLEANED IT ALL OUT.
I COVERED IT ALL UP, I CAME AND GOT A PERMIT TO RENOVATE IT TO GET IT FIXED.
THAT'S HOW I PUT THE TPO 'CAUSE I COULDN'T PUT A TPO WITHOUT A PERMIT.
THEN I CAME BACK AND GOT ANOTHER PERMIT AND EXPIRED.
'CAUSE WE'VE BEEN SO BUSY IN A BUSINESS OVER THERE.
UH, WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICES.
WE'RE HERE AND WE RECEIVED A NOTICE YESTERDAY, 20, LESS THAN 24 HOURS.
AND I HAD TO TRAVEL FIVE HOURS TO GET HERE.
SO IF I WOULD'VE GOTTEN A LETTER BEFORE I WOULD'VE BEEN HERE, I, I PLAN TO FIX IT UP.
UH, I'M GONNA GIVE IT TO MY SON AS AN INVESTMENT AND HE'S GONNA START WORKING ON IT.
UH, I NEED, UH, I NEED SOME TIME TO, TO FIX IT UP.
I HAVE, UH, PEOPLE CLEANED IT.
I HAD, UH, I INSTALLED A LIGHT IN THE BACK.
I DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, BUT WE CANNOT BE THERE ALL THE TIME.
SO I SENT PEOPLE, I HIRED A YARD
[01:05:01]
GUY TO GO CUT IT AND THAT'S WHEN THEY SHOWED UP THAT IT, IT, THE GRASS WAS HIGH AND, AND, AND WHATEVER.AND THAT'S, I HADN'T BEEN DOWN HERE FOR ABOUT THREE OR FOUR YEARS.
SO, UH, AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT.
UH, AND THE ONE COMPLAINING IS, THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING IS MY BROTHER NEXT DOOR.
BECAUSE O OBVIOUSLY THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE COMPLAINING THEY WOULD BE HERE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S FOR, I GOT THE PERMITS.
THE INSPECTOR WENT OUT THERE AND HE SAID IT WAS STRUCTURAL TO BE RENOVATED, EXCEPT THAT I HAD TO FIX THAT BACK, THAT BACK BURN.
AND THEN, UH, IT EXPIRED AND I CAME BACK AND GOT ANOTHER PERMIT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE BEEN SO BUSY AT HAVING BEEN ABLE TO WORK ON THAT PROPERTY.
WHEN DID THE FIRE OCCUR? OH, I WAS TRYING TO LOOK IT UP, UH, MAYBE 20 YEARS AGO.
AND NO COMPLAINTS TILL WHEN I GOT, I TOOK OVER THE PROPERTY.
UH, SO YOUR PURSE PERMIT, WAS YOU WORKING INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR ON THE HOUSE? I WAS GONNA REMODEL THE WHOLE HOUSE.
BUT THE, FOR THE PERMIT WAS THAT INTERIOR WORK? INTERIOR INTERIOR.
UH, AND ON THE, THE ADDITION, WHEN WAS THE, YOU BOUGHT IT WITH NO STORE THERE EXACTLY HOW IT IS.
I JUST WENT OUT THERE, I CLEANED IT ALL OUT.
THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, AND THEN THEY, THE INSPECTOR TOLD ME THAT HOMELESS WERE GOING IN THERE.
HOMELESS WILL GO, WILL BE GOING IN THERE.
IT WOULDN'T BE CLEANED LIKE THAT AND IT WOULD BE A MESS INSIDE, BUT IT'S EXACTLY HOW IT IS.
WHEN I, WHEN WE WENT OUT OUT THERE, WE CLEANED IT ALL OUT.
WE KNOCKED DOWN ANOTHER CHI ROCK.
WE JUST LEFT THE STUDS IN THERE.
'CAUSE WE'RE MAKING PLANS TO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IN THAT PROPERTY.
I MEAN, WE BUILD HOUSES, WE DO HOUSES UP IN MCCAL, SO WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME TO COME DOWN HERE AND, AND WORK ON THAT PROPERTY.
AND MY SON WAS ALSO SMALLER, SO HE'S ALREADY GROWN AND HE'S IN COLLEGE AND HOPEFULLY, UH, I WANT TO GUIDE HIM TO REPAIR THAT, UH, THAT PROPERTY AS AN INVESTMENT.
THE FIRST INSPECTION WAS, UH, IN, LET'S SEE, I, I GUESS IT WAS LAST YEAR.
UH, AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SINCE THAT INSPECTION? WHEN HE WENT OUT THERE TO THAT HE TOOK THE CREW OUT THERE, EVERYBODY, AND, UH, TO CLEAN THAT YARD THAT THEY TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR THERE.
THAT IT, UH, UH, JUST KEPT IT UP CLEAN, JUST CUTTING THE YARD AND SECURING THE PLACE.

I SENT THEM OUT THERE TO COVER ALL THE WINDOWS AND WHATEVER.
AND WHEN THEY WENT OUT THERE, THE, THE WINDOWS WERE COVERED AND EVERYTHING.
I, I STOPPED BY THERE LAST NIGHT WHEN I CAME IN AND THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT COVERED WAS IT'S SMALL WINDOW TO THE KITCHEN.
UH, AND I'M GONNA SEND SOMEBODY OUT THERE TO COVER THAT UP.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THIS IS ROBERT BINKY.

DO YOU HAVE A SCOPE OF WORK FOR US OR ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES TODAY BY CHANCE? NO, I DON'T.

THEY JUST CALLED ME LAST NIGHT, UH, YESTERDAY DURING THE DAY AND I HAD MEETINGS THIS MORNING AND I JUST CANCELED AND HAD TO COME DOWN HERE.
I GOT HERE AT TWO IN THE MORNING.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

MY ISSUE AND OR CONCERN WITH THIS HOME IS THE RODENT HOMELESS AND FIRE ISSUES I HAVE FACED AND SEEN.
THIS HOME NEEDS SOMETHING DONE TO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THIS VIEW IS AN EYESORE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
ON MARCH 4TH, 2025 AT AROUND 2:30 PM I SMELLED, I SMELLED SMOKE AS I WAS WALKING INSIDE MY HOME.
AND WHEN I CAME OUT, ALL OF THE YARD WAS ON FIRE AT 46 31 KAYWOOD IN THE BACKYARD AND MY FENCE WAS CATCHING FIRE IN THE TREE.
SO EMBERS WERE FLYING, BUT THIS WAS FROM THAT MAKESHIFT ELECTRICITY IN THE BACKYARD BECAUSE WHENEVER IT'S WINDY, I SEE SPARKS FLY AND HIT THE GROUND.
ON AUGUST 4TH AT 3:20 PM MY CAMERAS WERE GOING OFF, I NOTICED A FEMALE ENTERING THE PROPERTY AT 46 31 KAYWOOD DRIVE.
SO I WALKED OUT AND WAITED UNTIL I SAW HER.
THEN I PROCEEDED TO ASK WHAT SHE WAS DOING AND SHE GOT ANGRY AND STARTED CUSSING WHILE WALKING BAREFOOT IN SOCKS ONLY.
AND I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED SO US NEIGHBORS ON CAWOOD CAWOOD DRIVE CAN FEEL SAFE AGAIN AND NOT HAVE TO SEE THIS EYESORE ANYMORE.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT.
ABATEMENT, HOW MUCH WAS THE ABATEMENT? ONE SECOND.
[01:30:02]
OKAY.NOW I NOTICED IN THE TIMELINE HERE, THIS WAS 7 20 24, 7 25 24.
AND THERE WAS CONTACT MADE WITH THE OWNER ON 8 2 24.
AND I KNOW YOU SAID IT, BUT I DON'T SEE IT IN HERE.
THE PRE-CONFERENCE WAS ON WHAT? YES, THE, THE PRE-CONFERENCE WAS MAILED NINE EIGHT SEPTEMBER 8TH.
THE PRE-CONFERENCE WAS MAILED ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2025.
AND THE MEETING WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 22ND, 2025.
THAT'S, THAT'S A LONG, I JUST WANNA MAKE A CO A STATEMENT.
UM, I KNOW IN THE NOTES IT DOES STATE THAT CONTACT WAS MADE WITH AN OWNER, UHHUH
WELL, I'M, I'M, I'M LOOKING AT, AND I GUESS THIS BECAUSE I KNOW YOU TOOK THE CASE OVER.
SO I GUESS THIS NEXT PART WOULD GO TO STAFF.
NORMALLY WHEN YOU DO A CASE, YOU DO A FOLLOW UP IMMEDIATELY.
IS THAT CORRECT? ON THE FOLLOW UP IN THE CONFERENCE UP WHERE YOU GUYS HAVE THE STAFF CONFERENCE WITH 'EM, THAT'S NORMALLY WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME OF THE SAME YEAR? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
BUT THIS ONE HERE IS 7 24 IS THE DATE OF INSPECTION.
AND YOU DIDN'T DO A PRE-CONFERENCE UNTIL 25 BOARD MEMBERS, IF I MAY.
OFFICER PELKEY DID INHERIT THIS CASE.
THERE WAS SOME CHANGES IN, UH, STAFF DURING THIS TIME AND IT ACTUALLY CHANGED WITHIN, CHANGED BETWEEN THREE OFFICERS.
SO THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A SHORTAGE ON OUR PART.
UH, A SHORTAGE DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE NORMAL PROCEDURES OF WHEN YOU DO A FOLLOW UP AFTER A CASE, YOU AUTOMATICALLY, MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN DONE WITHIN THE SAME MONTH OR TWO THAT YOU DO THE VISIT OR THE CONFERENCE UPSTAIRS.
ARE YOU, ARE YOU SPEAKING OF THE CONFERENCE, THE, THE ONE THAT YOU SET UP THERE BEFORE IT COMES HERE WASN'T DONE ACCORDING TO THIS UNTIL 2025? CORRECT.
AND AS I STATED, THERE HAS BEEN SOME CHANGES BETWEEN OFFICERS ON THIS CASE, BUT THAT'S A STAFF, IS THAT CORRECT? YES SIR.
THE STAFF IS THE ONE WHO CONDUCTS THE CONFERENCES WITH THE OWNERS.
MAYBE I, I'M NOT PHRASING THIS RIGHT, IF YOU'RE CHANGING AND I UNDERSTAND THE, BUT IF THIS IS A STAFF FUNCTION, HOW COME IT'S DONE ALMOST A YEAR LATER WHEN IT'S NORMALLY DONE WITHIN A SPECIFIC TIME AFTER THE INSPECTIONS NOTICES ARE DONE AND THE CONFERENCE IS SET UPSTAIRS, HOW COME IT'S DONE ALMOST A YEAR LATER? I THINK I'VE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION.
THAT CONFERENCE IS NORMALLY DONE WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
HOW AM I NOT ANSWERING HIS QUESTION? UH, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT COUNSEL, AM I MISSING SOMETHING THERE? I'VE ANSWERED A QUESTION.
YOU'RE, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I'M CLEAR.
YOU ARE ASKING WHY WAS THERE SUCH A BIG, HUGE GAP IN BETWEEN UM, UH, UH, THE THE INSPECTION AND THE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE? YEAH, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY, THEY PROVIDED AN ANSWERS 'CAUSE UM, THEY'RE LOW ON STAFF AND IT, UH, IT SWITCHED, UM, UH, IT SWITCHED CODE OFFICERS BECAUSE I SEE A, I I SEE A LOT OF RE-INSPECTION IN HERE AND THEN A CONFERENCE WAS SET IN 2025.
NOW YOU SAID YOU GOT A HOLD OF OR A NIECE ALSO CONTACTED YOU.
I, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE NIECE OF THE, THE PROPERTY OWNER, THE DECEASED PROPERTY OWNER.
ALL I, I, I GUESS THAT'S AS FAR AS I'M GONNA GET WITH THAT.
I'M NOT BUYING THE ANSWER BECAUSE THAT'S A BIG LONG TIME TO HAVE THAT.
BUT I GUESS THAT'S A STAFF ISSUE.
AND, AND I I THIS IS LEGAL AGAIN, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE, THE CLARIFICATION THAT YOU'RE MAKING IS, UM, UM, THE LISTED OWNER IS DECEASED, BUT YOU WANTED TO HAVE A PREST STAFF MEETING WITH POSSIBLY SOME OTHER, UM, UH, RELATIVE OR, UH, SOME
[01:35:01]
OTHER HEIR THAT COULD TALK IN REGARDS TO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY.IT, IT'S NOT THAT I WANT, IT'S, THAT'S WHAT THE NORMAL SETUP IS.
EVERY TIME YOU A CASE IS PRESENTED, A STAFF IS DONE WITHIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AFTER THE CASE HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU GUYS, I, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND AND WHAT, WHAT STAFF IS SAYING IS THE, THE PREVIOUS SB MEETING IS HAPPENS ONCE IT'S DETERMINED THE PROPERTY'S GOING TO BE SB.
SO IN REGARDS TO WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG? I I I THINK THE, THE BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE WHEN WAS IT DETERMINED TO BRING THIS PROPERTY TO BSB? BECAUSE THERE IS NO E EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK, YOU'RE SAYING IT TOOK A YEAR THE, THE PRIOR TO THE BSB HEARING OR PRIOR TO IT COMING TO BSB, THERE'S AN ASSUMPTION BEING MADE THAT THEY WERE TAKING IT TO BSBA YEAR AGO BUT THEN JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE MEETING FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
NO, WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IF YOU LOOK AT MOST OF THE CASES WHEN THEY DO THE PRE-HEARING, IT'S ALWAYS USUALLY WAY UP THERE AT THE COUPLE OF MONTHS WITHIN THAT SPEECH.
SO IT, I AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN SCHEDULED AND NOBODY SHOWS THAT.
THAT'S WHAT'S NOTED WAY UP HERE.
THAT'S I'M JUST KIND OF I HEAR YOU, BUT IIII HEAR YOU BUT I, I I THINK WE'RE GETTING CAUGHT UP ON SOMETHING.
YOU'RE ASKING FOR A MEETING WITH UH, UH, AN OWNER THAT'S DECEASED? NO, UH, THIS WILL BE OFFLINE.
I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IT'S GONNA BE RESOLVED.
UM, THE NIECE THAT WAS CONTACTED HAS NOT, ACCORDING TO THE RECORDS, WHEN YOU TOOK OVER, YOU HAVE NOT HAD CONTACT FROM ANYBODY AFTER THAT.
YOU'VE LEFT VOICEMAILS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, CORRECT? NO, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH DENISE, YES, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HER SEVERAL TIMES.
BUT SHE DIDN'T SHOW FOR THE MEETING THAT YOU SET IN 2025 OR WAS SET FOR 2025.
SHE DID NOT SHOW FOR THE MEETING AND SHE DID NOT SHOW TODAY.
AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TALKED TO HER? YES.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE UH, STAFF? NO SIR.
OR FOR CODE? NO QUESTION, NO BORDER UH, ENTERTAINED A MOTION.
