THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 3 1 0 1 OAK DRIVE WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR REPAIR IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME 3 1 0 1 OAK DRIVE IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD. PLEASE NOTE ON MARCH 18TH, 2025, A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. THE INSPECTION IS A CORROBORATED INSPECTION WITH A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDED THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS NCB 1 2 3 5 9 BLOCK NINE, LOT TWO LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS SHAMAN MARTIN AND PATRICIA E WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 3 1 0 1 OAK DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 8. THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT PRESENT. DOES THE BOARD WISH TO CONTINUE? ANY OBJECTIONS? NOT SEEN ANY. I SAY YES WE DO. SCOTT STYLES, THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE DAUGHTER OF THE DECEASED PROPERTY OWNERS IS HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY ALONG WITH SAN ANTONIO POLICE OFFICER PENA. THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON JULY 28TH, 2025. THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION. THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 3 1 0 1 OAK DRIVE WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 18TH, 2025. THE ORIGINAL, ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON APRIL 7TH, 2025 AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED ON MARCH 24TH, 2025, AN AFTER ACTION MEETING WAS HELD AT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WITH THE DECEASED PROPERTY OWNER'S SON GREG SHAMAN. HE ATTENDED ATTENDED THE CONFERENCE AND HE ADVISED THAT OF ALL THE VIOLATIONS AND NUISANCES THAT WERE OCCURRING AT THE PROPERTY AND THEN ALSO HE STATED THAT HIS SISTER, BRENDA SHAMAN, WAS RESIDING AT THE PROPERTY WITH HER SON ON OCTOBER 31ST, 2025. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 3 1 0 1 OAK DRIVE ON OCTOBER 29TH, 2025. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO MARTIN AND PATRICIA SHAMAN AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED ON NOVEMBER 6TH, 2025. ON OCTOBER 14TH, 2025, AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED. HOWEVER, ON NOVEMBER 7TH, 2025, BRENDA SHAMAN ALLOWED ACCESS FOR INTERIOR PHOTOS TO BE PRESENTED TODAY, NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEERS REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED. NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED. ON MARCH 18TH, THE PROPERTY DID WAS ABATED BY THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO ON MARCH 27TH, 2025, A NOTICE TO VACATE WAS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY. [00:10:06] SO THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE PROPERTY ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION THAT IS GONNA BE THE GARAGE. A FIRE DID OCCUR IN JANUARY OF 2025. A MAJORITY OF THE FIRE DAMAGE DID ONLY AFFECT THE GARAGE. THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. THE DEGRADE IS STARTING TO WASH FROM UNDERNEATH THE SLAB AND THE SLAB IS STARTING TO DETERIORATE. HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THE DETERIORATION AND THE GRADE THAT IS STARTING TO COME OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE SLAB. THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. THE FASCIA BOARD DOES LACK SOME WEATHER PROTECTION AND THERE IS SLIGHT SMOKE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE RIDGE. THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. UM, THE WINDOWS ARE CURRENTLY BOARDED UP. MAJORITY OF THEM ONLY SOME OF THE DOORS THAT BRENDA IS UTILIZING ARE OPEN AND THERE IS NO ELECTRIC METER AT THE PROPERTY AT THIS TIME. AND HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW TO SHOW THE METER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY. THIS IS GOING INTO THE FRONT DOOR. THERE ARE CRACKS THROUGHOUT THE SHEET ROCK AND SOME HOLES IN THE SHEET ROCK AS WELL. THIS IS GOING INTO THE LIVING ROOM AREA. AGAIN, THERE'S SMALL CRACKS THROUGH THE CEILING AND THEN THERE ARE SOME HOLES AS WELL. AND THE FLOOR COVERING IS MISSING. THERE ARE CARPET CARPETS LAID DOWN TO COVER THE SLAB FOR THE MOST PART, BUT THE FLOOR COVERING IS MISSING AND THE SLAB IS EXPOSED. HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THOSE CRACKS IN THE SHEET ROCK. THIS IS GOING INTO THE KITCHEN AREA. SOME FLOORING HAS BEEN LAID DOWN, BUT IT IS NOT COMPLETE. SO THE FLOOR IS UNLEVEL AND IT DOES POSE A TRIPPING HAZARD. THIS IS GOING INTO THE FLA FAMILY ROOM THAT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE GARAGE. SO THERE IS SMOKE DAMAGE TO THE WALLS AND THEN THE CEILING IS MISSING THE SHEET ROCK. AND THERE ARE TARPS PLACED. THIS IS GOING DOWN TO THE HALLWAY. THERE ARE JUST SLIGHT CRACKS AGAIN IN THE CEILING OF THE SHEET ROCK. HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THE CRACKS IN THE SHEET ROCK. THIS IS THE BATHROOM AREA. AGAIN, THERE'S NO, UM, ACTIVE WATER ON THE PROPERTY OR ELECTRICITY AT THIS TIME. THE SINK DOES, UH, DOES NEED REPAIRING. THE COUNTERTOPS ARE BROKEN AND THERE ARE EDGES STICKING OUT. THE P PLUMBING FIXTURES ARE MISSING AND THE TILES ARE MISSING AS WELL IN THE SHOWER AREA. HERE'S ONE OF THE BEDROOMS. THERE'S JUST CRACKS IN THE SHEET ROCK AGAIN AND THE FLOOR COVERING IS MISSING AND THERE'S CARPET COVERING THE SLAB. HERE'S A SECOND BEDROOM, UM, FILLED WITH ITEMS. SO IT DOES POSE AN EGRESS HAZARD IN CASE OF FIRE OR PANIC. IF SOMEONE WAS IN THIS ROOM, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. THIS IS ANOTHER BEDROOM. THERE IS THE DOORWAY, UH, THAT YOU CAN EXIT THAT I'M STANDING IN TO THE BACKYARD, BUT IT DOES HAVE A LARGE AMOUNT OF ITEMS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET TO THE BACK PORTION OF THE ROOM WHERE THE SECOND BATHROOM IS. SO THAT ALSO DOES POSE AN EGRESS HAZARD, UM, ON NOT ONLY FOR THE OCCUPANTS, BUT FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AS WELL. AND THERE'S SOME CRACKS IN THE SHEET ROCK AS WELL. SO THIS IS THE GARAGE AREA WHERE THE FIRE DID OCCUR. THE DECKING DOES SUFFER SEVERE SMOKE DAMAGE. AND THEN TOWARDS THE BACK PORTION OF THE GARAGE THERE IS CHARRING TO THE WOODEN STUDS AND TO THE DECKING AND RAFTERS. SO HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THAT, THOSE CHARRED WOODEN STUDS. AND HERE'S A CLOSER VIEW OF THE CHARRED DECKING AND RAFTERS AND CEILING JOISTS AS WELL. THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 3 1 0 1 OAK DRIVE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HERE AND AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE. PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR ON FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIR AND FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE VACATED. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 3 1 1 OAK DRIVE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT REPORT. DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? UM, [00:15:01] I DO. GO AHEAD. YOU STATED THAT THERE WAS, AND I SAW IT UP IN HERE, THERE WAS EVICTION, UM, AND UH, A VACATE ORDER PENDING AND THEN IT WAS APPROVED AND IT'S BEEN POSTED, CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY. YOU SAID THERE WERE NO PERMITS, BUT THEY'RE WORKING ON THE FLOOR. THERE ARE NO, NO, NO PERMITS OBTAINED. HOWEVER, THEY JUST PLACED SOME FLOORING IN THE KITCHEN. NO OTHER, NO OTHER ACTIVITY LIKE FOR THAT ONE WALL THAT WAS BURNED OUT? NOTHING. NO. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY REPAIRS DONE TO THE STRUCTURE. AND YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED A FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT ON ARSON OR NOT? IT WAS NOT ARSON. OKAY. SO I'M KIND OF, THIS WAS A DART? YES IT WAS. ALRIGHT, I'LL TALK TO THE DART OFFICER. I AM THE DART OFFICER.

UH, IT IS NOT WITHIN 1000 FEET OF THE SCHOOL. IS IT A AREA WHERE TRAFFIC FROM THE SCHOOL GOES? CHILDREN, WALKERS, STUFF LIKE THAT? UM, I GUESS AGAIN, I GUESS YOU COULD ASK THE, THE SAFE OFFICER THAT QUESTION. I MAY EVEN ASK THE RESIDENCE BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY KNOW MM-HMM . OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND WE DO HAVE A DP OFFICER HERE TODAY FROM DART. YEP. YEP. SAPD. OFFICER PENA, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM, STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR BUSINESS ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. THANK YOU FOR THAT JOURNEY. MORNING BOARD. I'M ANTHONY PENA. UM, PART OF THE, UH, WEST SAFE UNIT. BEEN A PART OF THE UNIT FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW. BEEN IN THE DEPARTMENT FOR, UH, 15, 15 YEARS. SO THE PROPERTY AT THREE TEN ONE OAK. UM, I CAN REMEMBER THAT I'VE, LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN ON THE SAFE UNIT FOR THREE YEARS NOW. PRIOR TO ME BEING ON THE SAFE UNIT, I WAS ASSIGNED TO THE WEST PATROL DAYLIGHT, UM, UNIT, WHICH IS ONE OF THE, UH, PATROL, ONE OF THE FOUR PATROL UNITS, UH, THAT ARE SCHEDULED THROUGHOUT THE DAY. I CAN RECALL THIS ADDRESS, UM, FROM MY DATE, FROM THE TIME THAT I SPENT ON PATROL. I CAN RECALL GOING OUT THERE, UM, FOR THE SAME ISSUES THAT I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT HERE SHORTLY. UM, A LOT OF THE ISSUES, AND WE'RE TALKING FOR THE LAST FIVE, SIX YEARS HAVE BEEN, UH, NARCOTICS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS. UM, UNFORTUNATELY MR. MS. SHAMAN OR DECEASED, BUT WHEN THEY WERE ALIVE, UM, THEY HAD ISSUES WITH, UM, I BELIEVE IT IS, UH, BRENDA, THE DAUGHTER THAT'S NOW THE OWNER OF THE, OF THE PROPERTY, UM, ALLOWING HER TO BRING IN, OR SHE WAS BRINGING IN, YOU KNOW, UH, VAGRANTS FROM THE, FROM THE AREA THEY WERE FOUND SLEEPING ON HER BACK, ON THEIR BACK PATIO. UM, AND THIS KIND OF CONTINUED, UH, THIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT MY TIME ON SAFE. UM, OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING WELL OVER A HUNDRED CALLS FOR SERVICE, UM, JUST TO POLICE. UM, LIKE OFFICER TOWN STATED ON THE, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE, IN MARCH, IT WAS THE 18TH OF MARCH, UM, OF THIS YEAR WHEN WE EXECUTED OUR, OUR DART WARRANT. SINCE THE EXECUTION OF OUR DART WARRANT, THERE'S PROBABLY BEEN ABOUT 30 CALLS FOR SERVICE, UM, TO POLICE SINCE MARCH. UM, A LOT OF THESE CALLS FOR SERVICE ARE, YOU KNOW, UM, DISTURBANCES, UM, ASSAULTS, UH, COMPLAINTS FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, THE FOOT TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING IN AND OUTTA THE HOUSE. UM, NARCOTICS COMPLAINTS, UM, HOMELESS RELATED COMPLAINTS. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE, THE, THE DEBRIS THAT'S BEING COLLECTED BOTH IN THE FRONT AND BACKYARDS. UM, SO THESE, A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS ALSO CAME IN FROM, UH, FROM NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, TO OUR OFFICE, BUT, UH, DISTRICT SEVEN, UM, WOULD CALL OUR, OUR, THE SAFE OFFICER FOR THE AREA [00:20:01] TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ADVISE HIM, HEY, THESE ARE COMPLAINTS COMING IN FROM THE CONSTITUENTS. UM, OTHER COMPLAINTS CAME INTO OUR OFFICE FROM, FROM JUST THE NEIGHBORS. SO THERE'S, ALTHOUGH I'M SAYING THERE'S, YOU KNOW, WELL OVER A HUNDRED CALLS FOR SERVICE JUST TO, THAT'S JUST TO 9 1 1, THOSE AREN'T THOSE CALLS FOR SERVICE SOMETIMES DON'T GET ADDED ONTO THE COMPLAINTS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM, UH, OTHER CITY ENTITIES. UM, IT'S THE, LIKE I SAID, THE COMPLAINTS HAVE KIND OF STAYED THE SAME OVER THE LAST, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN AROUND WEST PATROL FOR PROBABLY 10 YEARS NOW. UM, OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS IT'S BEEN THE SAME COMPLAINTS FOR THIS HOUSE AND, YOU KNOW, FOR AS LARGE OF AN AREA AS WEST PATROL IS, AND FOR, YOU KNOW, UM, FOR ME TO RECALL THESE, YOU KNOW, A A CERTAIN HOUSE, UM, IS, ISN'T OUTTA THE ORDINARY, BUT IT, IT IS OUTTA THE ORDINARY FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO GO AND, AND FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO HAVE RECOLLECTION OF, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, SIX, SEVEN YEARS AGO. UM, OUTSIDE OF THAT, UH, THAT PRETTY MUCH CONCLUDES MY LITTLE PRESENTATION. IF YOU GUYS, I'LL LEAVE IT OPEN FOR, FOR QUESTIONS. I KNOW MR. ANDERS HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS. SURE, GO AHEAD. MR. ANDERS. THE TRAFFIC FOR CHILDREN OR SCHOOL WALKERS? NOT THE TRAFFIC TRAFFIC, THE WALKING TRAFFIC, IS IT NEAR THIS HOUSE OR SO? UM, I BELIEVE IT IS BABCOCK THAT RUNS PRETTY, PRETTY CLOSE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AND JUST ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF BAB, UH, BABCOCK IS, UH, BASKET ELEMENTARY. SO WE'RE PROBABLY TALKING WITHIN ABOUT, PROBABLY LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE RADIUS FROM THE, OR A QUARTER MILE FROM THE HOUSE. OKAY. AND HAVE YOU MADE CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL AT THE HOUSE? I'VE MADE CONTACT WITH, UH, WITH SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS THERE AT THE HOUSE. UM, DURING OUR DART WARRANT, I THINK WE CONTACTED PROBABLY AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE. UM, WHEN WE WENT OUT FOR ANOTHER REINSPECTION, UM, WE CONTACTED, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS, UH, SOME THAT, THAT I, THAT WOULD, THAT I WAS ABLE TO CRIMINALLY TRESPASS FROM THE PROPERTY. UM, MS. SHAMAN'S BROTHER, MS. BRENDA SHAMAN'S BROTHER, UH, DID SIGN A CRIMINAL TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT FOR US. UM, SO ALL PERSONS THAT KIND OF WEREN'T RELATED TO UM, THE FAMILY, UH, I DID CRIMINALLY TRESPASS FROM THE PROPERTY ON, UH, ON MR. GREG SHAMAN'S, UH, ON HIS BEHALF. HAVE THEY RETURNED? UH, TO MY KNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED. UM, BUT AGAIN, THEY, THEY VERY WELL COULD HAVE RETURNED. I, I I, BUT UM, MY VISITS, I HAVE NOT SEEN RETURNED PERSONS. HAVE YOU HAD ANY COST SINCE? AS FAR AS ME PERSONALLY GOING OUT THERE, NO, I HAVE NOT GONE OUT THERE. BUT THERE HAS BEEN, UH, AS STATED SINCE THE DART, THERE WAS OVER PROBABLY OVER 30 CALLS FOR SERVICE. SO POLICE HAVE BEEN BACK OUT TO THE HOUSE. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD? NO, THANK YOU. THANK Y'ALL. APPRECIATE THAT MR. PENA. ALRIGHT. UM, IT LOOKS LIKE WE DO HAVE THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE HERE. UH, MS. BRENDA SHANNON, WILL YOU PLEASE COME UP TO THE PODIUM? CAN, I'M ACTUALLY REPRESENTING. OKAY. OH, GREAT. WELL COME UP. NOTICE YOURSELF. HE GOTTA TURN. NO, THAT'S FINE. BUT I REPRESENT HER. UM, AS AN INTRODUCTION, MY NAME IS SCOTT STILES. I'M AN ATTORNEY THAT REPRESENTS THE ONE OF THE HOMEOWNERS, BRENDA SHAMAN SHIMON SHIMON. UM, IF I MAY PROCEED, UM, THE FIRST POINT IS THAT WE'VE HEARD ALL OF THE EVIDENCE. WE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE ISSUES, WE DON'T DISPUTE ANY OF THE ISSUES AT HAND. THEY'RE ALL FACT BASED. UH, AND, UH, AND WE, WHAT I WOULD COMMENT FIRST IS THAT I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS KIND OF EVIDENCE OF THE SYSTEM AT WORK AND THERE'S THIS ESCALATION. THERE'S SOMEBODY THAT IS IN THE HOUSE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS. AND THEN THERE'S OTHER ISSUES AT HAND. UM, AND I THINK THAT THIS IS THE, THE SYSTEM AT WORK. WHAT, WHAT MY JOB TO DO TODAY IS TO TRY TO PRESERVE HER, HER FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THE HOUSE. UH, THE HOUSE IS UNDER CONTRACT, IT, THE HOUSE IS IN BAD SHAPE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY. UM, BUT EITHER THROUGH SELLING THE PROPERTY AND HER BEING ABLE TO RECOUP SOME OF THE, THE ASSET THAT WAS HER INHERITANCE FROM HER PARENTS. UM, IT'S WHAT OUR JOB IS. WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS TO HELP HER PRESERVE THOSE ASSETS AND THEN USE THAT TO HAVE, TO GET HER SOME RESOURCES. UM, THE, THE CALL, THE CALLS FOR SERVICE ARE UNDENIABLE AND THE CONDITION OF THE HOME IS, IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE. UM, WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE ISN'T FURTHER HARMED BY HER CIRCUMSTANCES. SO MY ASK FOR THE [00:25:01] BOARD TODAY WOULD BE TO RECOMMEND REPAIRS. GIVE US SOME RUNWAY. WE HAVE A CONTRACT, IT'S, IT'S UNDER CONTRACT AND IT'S FUNDABLE OR IT'S UH, IT'S A GOOD CONTRACT UNTIL THE 30TH OF DECEMBER. AND, UH, WE WOULD WELCOME WHATEVER RECOMMENDATIONS THE BOARD HAS AS A WAY TO MITIGATE I THINK SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN TERMS OF THE PROXIMITY TO THE SCHOOL, UH, AND SOME OF THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BOARD WOULD RECOMMEND IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE, UM, AS WE HEARD FROM THE OFFICER, WE'VE GOT CRIMINAL TRESPASS WARRANTS THAT ARE VALID FOR ANY OF THE NON-REGISTERED OWNERS. UM, AND WHAT I WOULD COMMIT TO THE BOARD IS THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH BRENDA TO TRY TO KEEP ANYBODY THAT'S NOT A REGISTERED OWNER OUT OF THE HOUSE IN ORDER TO MITIGATE SOME OF THAT CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR AND THE DISPUTE WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. HAS THAT BEEN RESOLVED NOW? UM, TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND, AND I CAN ASK HER. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS INSURANCE ON THE HOUSE. WAS THERE, WAS THERE HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE ON THE HOUSE? I BELIEVE THERE IS STILL, YEAH. BUT I JUST GOT MY ID AGAIN AND SOMEBODY KEEPS STEALING. SIR, SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO, IF SHE'S GONNA ANSWER YOU, SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO GIVE HER NAME OR ADDRESS AND THEN ANSWER. YEAH, GO AHEAD AND GIVE HER NAME. NICOLE BRENDA, HER NAME AND ADDRESS? BRENDA LUCILLE SHIMON AT THREE TEN ONE OAK DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 8 55 YEARS. YOU COULD JUST RESTATE WHAT YOU SAID BACK THERE. YES. SO THAT IT CAN BE ON THE RECORD. YES. UM, UM, YOU WAS, DO YOU MIND IF I ASK HER SOME QUESTIONS AND, AND TRY AND GET, ELICIT THAT FROM HER? SHE STARTED TO SAY SOMETHING, SO WE NEED IT ON THE RECORD. 'CAUSE THIS IS TAPED AND IT'S VIDEOED. UNDERSTOOD. UH, USAA IS THE INSURANCE COMPANY MY DAD HAS ALWAYS HAD, PLUS HE USED TO WORK THERE AT USAA AND UM, UNFORTUNATELY I'VE HAD A LOT OF IDENTITY THEFT AND THEFT AT MY HOUSE, UH, AGAINST ME AND MY FAMILY. UM, IF I MAY, I I THINK IT'S OKAY. DO YOU THINK IT'S OKAY IF HE ASK QUESTIONS OF THE OWNER AS THE QUESTION WHO ASK HIS OWN CLIENT QUESTIONS? THIS IS LEGAL. YES, HE CAN. IF IF HE'D LIKE TO ASK A FEW QUESTIONS TO HIS CLIENT AND ALLOW HIS CLIENT TO ANSWER, THAT'D BE FINE. PLEASE PROCEED. AND IT, THAT WASN'T NE I MEAN, THAT'S NOT NECESSARY. WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET TO IS THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE'S INSURANCE ON THE HOUSE. UM, AND SO I DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THERE IS, AND OBVIOUSLY EVIDENCE THAT THERE'S NOT, CAN'T EXIST. BUT, UH, THE HOUSE IS NOT, DOES NOT HAVE A MORTGAGE, SO IT WOULDN'T BE REQUIRED OF THE LENDER. UM, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS THE FINANCIAL RESOURCE OR RESOURCES OR HAS BEEN KEEPING UP WITH PAYMENTS ON INSURANCE. SO HAVE, HAVE YOU BEEN MAKING PERIODIC INSURANCE PAYMENTS ON THE HOUSE? NO, BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO, SIR. BEFORE SHE ANSWERS, SHE HAS TO BE BY THE MIC. THANK YOU. AND YOU CAN PUT THE MIC DOWN TO HER. THANK YOU. IT IT, IT'S A LONG STORY, BUT IT'S ABOUT A TRUST AND THEY KEEP STEALING MY ID, SO I'M WAITING FOR MY HARD COPY AND I'M GOING TO USA AGAIN TO SEE WHAT I CAN FIND OUT ABOUT ROUTING AND, AND ACCOUNT NUMBERS. OKAY, THANK YOU. LEMME OPEN UP THE REST OF THE PANEL. YOU GOT THE QUESTIONS? UH, YEAH, I HAVE A QUESTION. UH, YOU SAID THERE'S A CONTRACT ON THE HOUSE, DO YOU MEAN A CONTRACT FOR SALE? YES. YEAH, ERNEST, THERE'S EARN THE, I HAVE A COPY OF THE CONTRACT IF, IF THE BOARD WOULD, WOULD WANT TO SEE IT. UM, BUT SUFFICE TO SAY IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S SOLD. WE'RE WAITING ON, UH, AS THE OFFICER STATED, AS EVERYBODY ELSE HAS STATED, THIS WAS HER PARENTS' HOUSE. SHE GREW UP IN THIS HOUSE, HER PARENTS PASSED AWAY. THERE IS A WILL THAT'S AS PROBATE ASMU OF TITLE THAT'S ALREADY ON FILE, UH, FOR THE, FOR GREG, THE BROTHER. UM, AND I'M NOT, I'M NOT CLEAR IF IT'S FOR ANOTHER PIECE OF PROPERTY, BUT IT'S THE SAME WILL MOM AND DAD HAD RECIPROCAL WILLS DAD, PRE-DECEASED MOM. MOM THEN PASSED AWAY AND THEN SHE'S INHERITED THE HOUSE. SHE IS THE OWNER IN EQUITY. UM, THERE'S A, A PROBATE HURDLE THAT WE HAVE TO GET OVER BEFORE WE CAN CLEAR TITLE. AND THAT'S WHERE, THAT'S WHERE I'VE COME IN. AND THEN, THEN THIS MEETING CAME UP AND I SAID, OKAY, WELL I'LL COME DOWN THERE AND WE'LL, WE'LL I'LL DEFEND YOU AT THE MEETING, YOU KNOW, AND KIND OF EXPLAIN YOUR CASE AND KIND OF EXPLAIN THE PATH FORWARD, UH, AS A WAY TO GIVE US ENOUGH BUFFER TO GET THE THINGS DONE THAT WE NEED TO GET DONE. WE ALL, EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES, UH, THE CONDITION OF THE HOUSE. EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES THE SITUATION AND, UM, FORTUNATELY THE HOUSE IS STILL IN, UH, ITS BAD SHAPE. BUT FROM AN INVESTOR STANDPOINT, FROM AN ASSET STANDPOINT, IT'S STILL HAS SIGNIFICANT VALUE. [00:30:01] AND, AND, AND YOU BELIEVE THAT THE, UH, PROBATE ISSUES CAN BE CLEARED UP AND, AND A SALE COULD ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE BY THE END OF DECEMBER. UH, THAT'S, THAT'S MY HOPE. UM, IT'S GONNA DEPEND ON A LOT ON THE PROBATE SCHEDULE AND WHEN I CAN GET A HEARING. SOME OF THESE THINGS WE CAN DO BY SUBMISSION, WHICH MEANS THAT WE JUST, YOU KNOW, THE, THE WILL HAS BEEN ON FILE, SO THE WILL IS NOT UP FOR CONTEST. UM, HER BROTHER GREG WAS, WAS THE ONE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO PROBATE THE WILL. HE IS THE EXECUTOR IN THE WILL. AND HE, UM, IF IF THE WILL DOESN'T GET PROBATED WITHIN FOUR YEARS, THEN IT GOES TO INTESTACY AND HE'S, AND HE WOULD IN THEORY, BECOME A BENEFICIARY AT THE POINT IT IS NOW THE WILL STATES THAT SHE AND HER SON STEPHEN AGUIRRE ARE THE TWO BENEFICIARIES. UM, IF, IF GREG THE BROTHER RUNS OUT THE CLOCK, WHICH IS I THINK IN APRIL OF NEXT YEAR, THEN HE WOULD BECOME A BENEFICIARY THROUGH INTESTACY. UM, SO AGAIN, IT'S ANOTHER, ANOTHER SPOT WHERE I'M TRYING TO HELP HER DEFEND WHAT SHE WAS, UM, GIVEN BY HER PARENTS. AND IS THE BROTHER COOPERATING IN THIS? NO, UH, NOT THAT I, HE'S NOT HERE TODAY. HE WAS, UH, ANSWERING PHONE CALLS FROM THE TITLE COMPANY, TRYING TO GET THAT PART OF IT MOVING, BUT HAS SINCE, UH, SINCE STOPPED COMMUNICATING. SO IT'S SOMETHING WHERE WE'LL HAVE TO FILE A FILE, SOMETHING TO, TO GET. SHE'S A INTERESTED PERSON. UM, AND WE'LL HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY TO, TO DO THE PROBATE, TO, TO BE THE EXECUTOR ON THE MUNI OF TITLE. BUT IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT A SUPER COMPLICATED PROBLEM. I GUESS TO YOUR POINT, IT'S GOING TO, AS THE COURT, AS THE YEAR WINDS DOWN, UH, THE COURT TIME GETS, UH, RARE AND RARE. SO I DON'T WANNA SAY THAT. I CAN FOR SURE GET IT DONE BY THEN, BUT, UM, THERE'S OTHER AL THERE'S OTHER WAYS TO DO IT AS WELL. SO, UH, AS FAR AS SELLING IT WITHOUT A TITLE POLICY, I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. I WAS ASK THAT LEGAL, IT, IT SEEMS THAT IF SHE IS THE OWNER, SHE ALREADY HAS TITLE TO THE PROPERTY AND CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SALE WITH, WITHOUT FINISHING PROBATE. SHE'S NOT, SHE IS NOT THE OWNER YET UNTIL PROBATE IS DONE. BUT YET THE QUESTION I HAVE, AND IT'S JUST MY PEACE OF MIND. YES SIR. IF THE CASE IS NOT PROBATED YET, THOUGH SHE IS ON THE DOCUMENTS AND IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY TRANSFERRED TO HER YET. CORRECT. HOW DO YOU GET A SALE OR A POTENTIAL SALE ON SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T OWN YET? EVEN THOUGH SHE'S ON THE PAPER AND FROM A PROPERTY STANDPOINT, THERE'S, THERE'S AN OWNER AND EQUITY AND THERE'S AN OWNER AND LAW AND AN OWNER. AND EQUITY MEANS THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHTFUL OWNER. THERE IS NO DISPUTE ABOUT IT. IT'S THAT IF, YOU KNOW, I'M A, IF I'M AN ONLY CHILD AND MY MOM DIES AND SHE HAS A HOUSE, I OWN THE HOUSE. AND IF ASSUMING THERE'S NO WILL, UM, WHETHER OR NOT I'M THE TITLED OWNER AND SOMEBODY WILL SELL ME AN INSURANCE POLICY OR SELL THE, THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER AN INSURANCE POLICY GUARANTEEING THAT I'M THE OWNER, THAT'S A DIFFERENT MATTER. SO YOU, SHE CAN SELL THE HOUSE, YOU JUST CAN'T GET A TITLE POLICY ON IT. SO SHE, SHE OWNS THE HOUSE IN EQUITY. IT WOULD BE THE SAME THING AS SELLING A CAR WITHOUT A TITLE. SO CAN YOU SELL A CAR WITHOUT A TITLE? YEAH, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT STOLEN AND YOU CAN PROVE THAT IT'S YOUR CAR, IT'S JUST, YOU COULDN'T GET INSURANCE ON IT. NOBODY WOULD, NO, NO REAL, UH, BUYER WOULD PAY A PREMIUM FOR A CAR WITHOUT A TITLE. UM, BUT IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS KIND OF THAT SAME THING WHERE IF, WHAT, WHAT I'M GONNA TRY TO DO IS GET, GET THE TITLE STRAIGHTENED OUT SO THAT SHE CAN SELL IT WITH A TITLE POLICY. UM, AND IN THE ABSENCE OF THAT, SELL IT TO AN INVESTOR THAT'LL TAKE THE RISK, UH, THAT THE TITLE IS IN JEOPARDY AND THAT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOME LEGAL WORK TO GET CLEAR TITLE. BUT THESE ARE TWO THINGS THAT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND, UH, IN REAL ESTATE WHERE PEOPLE BUY THINGS THAT ARE DILAPIDATED PHYSICALLY, AND THERE'S PEOPLE THAT BUY THINGS THAT ARE JAMMED UP FROM A TITLE PERSPECTIVE AND THEY SAY, OKAY, WELL I'LL, I'LL BUY AS MUCH TITLE AS I CAN TO THE HOUSE, UM, AND THEN I'LL WORK OUT THE REST OF IT IN A SUIT TO QUIET TITLE OR TRESPASS A TRY, TITLE OR SOME OTHER LEGAL MECHANISM. SO, UM, I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO NUANCED WITH THAT. I SUFFICE IT TO SAY THE THE PROBLEM IS RECOGNIZED AND, AND, UH, AND BRENDA'S RIGHT. WORKING ON IT. AND WHAT WE'RE DOING UP HERE IS WHEN WE HEAR PIECES, WE GO THROUGH IT, UH, IT MAKES A DECISION AND, AND THE REPAIR IS A DECISION THAT IS ON THE TABLE. UNDERSTOOD. AND YOU STATED EARLIER THAT YOUR CLIENT IS NOT, YOU WANT THE REPAIR JUST SO SHE CAN SELL THE PROPERTY. SHE'S NOT INTENDING TO REPAIR IT 'CAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE FUNDS, [00:35:01] BUT WHOEVER PICKS IT UP IS THE ONE WHO REPAIRS IT. YES. AND, AND IT STILL HAS SIGNIFICANT VALUE MM-HMM . UM, AND IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S BURNED OUT AND UH, AND COMPLETELY WITHOUT VALUE AND SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED. AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE IDEA, IS TO TRY TO GIVE US ENOUGH BUFFER SO THAT SHE CAN SELL THE PROPERTY AND, AND PASS IT ON TO SOMEBODY THAT IS GONNA DO THAT, IS GONNA MAKE THE REPAIRS AND THAT HAS THE FINANCIAL BACKING TO MAKE 'EM, AND, AND THE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO DO THE SAME. I MEAN THAT'S THE, THE PUBLIC POLICY BEING THAT PEOPLE WANT THESE PROPERTIES TO BE USED, ENJOYED. THEY DON'T WANT, UH, OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. YOU POLICE SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONE. THANK YOU. UM, SO MY JOB IS TO EXPLAIN TO THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE A CLEAR PATH FORWARD. UH, WE HAVE A RESOLUTION AT HAND. I THINK THAT THAT'S EVIDENCE THAT THAT SYSTEM THAT'S IN PLACE IS WORKING. IT'S GOTTEN RID, YOU KNOW, THE, THE FOCUS ON THIS PROJECT OR THIS HOUSE HAS, HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT'S A BINARY. SHE'S EITHER GONNA LOSE THE PROPERTY AND THEY'RE GONNA DEMOLISH IT OR WE CAN DO SOMETHING, SELL IT AND MOVE IT ON AND GET SOMEBODY IN THERE THAT'S GONNA BE A, A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO EVERYBODY ON ONE OAK DRIVE. WELL, AS OF RIGHT NOW, MR. CHAIR, THIS IS LEGAL. I I I'D LIKE TO CLARIFY WHAT'S IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS PROPERTY IS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE AND IF THIS BOARD DETERMINES THAT IT IS HOW TO ADDRESS IT. AND BASED ON THE, UH, INFORMATION AND OR TESTIMONY PROVIDED BY THE OWNER, REPRESENTATIVES OR WHAT HAVE YOU, THE BOARD NEEDS TO MAKE A DETERMINATION WHETHER TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATION THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES PROVIDED, OR GIVE ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION. OR MAYBE THE BOARD DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE A DECISION. UM, WHAT I'D LIKE TO CAUTION US FROM IS FROM FACILIT. THIS BOARD IS NOT HERE TO FACILITATE A SALE OF PROPERTY. THIS BOARD IS HERE TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON WHETHER A PROPERTY IS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE OR NOT. AND IF SO, HOW TO ABATE THAT PROPERTY TO NO LONGER BE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALRIGHT, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE PANEL? ALL RIGHT. UH, WE DO HAVE, I THINK, WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY. APPRECIATE IT. PLEASE, YOU CAN SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU. YES, MY NAME IS MARTIN CORMAN'S. I RESIDE AT 2 18 1 OAK DRIVE IN DISTRICT SEVEN. UM, APPROXIMATELY ONE BLOCK DOWN FROM THIS HOUSE. UH, I HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS I WANTED TO BRING FORWARD. UH, I BELIEVE IN MY HOUSE FOR 32 YEARS. IT'S BEEN A SOLID NEIGHBORHOOD. ALL OF MY ADJOINING NEIGHBORS. I MEAN, WE, WE'VE BEEN THERE FOREVER. AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS PARTICULAR HOUSE, REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE OF THE OWNERS, IT'S UH, A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. UH, I'VE GOT A GRANDDAUGHTER THAT WE RAISED PART-TIME AND ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS HAVE KIDS, YOUNG KIDS. Y'ALL MENTIONED A SCHOOL CONCERN. THERE IS A SCHOOL TWO BLOCKS DOWN THE STREET. THERE IS A SCHOOL CROSSING AT THE VERY NEXT STREET, WHICH IS CRESTVIEW. SO THAT'S A CONCERN. UH, AS FAR AS THE, THE HOUSE ITSELF, UH, THERE'S, YOU'VE HEARD THE POLICE OFFICER MENTION HOW MANY TIMES THEY'VE BEEN THERE. WELL, WE'VE HAD A FRONT ROW SEAT TO ALL OF THAT AND IT'S GETTING OLD. UH, SO THE HOUSE ITSELF HAS BEEN BOARDED UP BY THE CITY, PARTIALLY ON THE GARAGE DOORS BECAUSE OF THE FIRE. AND THEN THERE'S PLYWOOD THAT'S BEEN ON, ON THE PROPERTY ITSELF, I GUESS PLACED BY THE OWNER. AND THAT COMES UP, COMES DOWN, UH, THE FRONT DOOR IS SOMETIMES OFF THE HINGES. YOU CAN SEE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HOUSE. UH, THERE'S VAGRANT ALL UP AND DOWN OUR STREET ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT. UH, WE SEE THEM TOTING FIVE GALLON WATER BOTTLES 'CAUSE THERE'S NO WATER TO THE HOUSE. UM, COUNTLESS ISSUES THAT ARE ONGOING. UH, IT'S BROUGHT, UH, MORE VAGRANTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. UM, NOW ANYTIME YOU HAVE AN OPEN EMPTY HOUSE, IT'S ALWAYS SUSPECT FOR, YOU KNOW, VAGRANT. BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE, WE DO HAVE ANOTHER VACANT HOUSE DOWN THE STREET THAT'S UNDER PROBATE. DIFFERENT SITUATION, DIFFERENT FAMILY. UH, THAT HOUSE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED. IT'S BEEN BOARDED UP, IT'S BEEN MAINTAINED. THE YARD IS MAINTAINED. THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE THERE. SO THERE'S DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES AND IT IS REALLY GOTTEN OLD. UH, I TALKED TO LISA, UH, THE N THE DIRECT NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR. NOW I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR HER, BUT WHAT SHE HAS TOLD ME IS, IS CRAZY WHAT SHE'S WITNESSED AS A FRONT ROW NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. UM, AND, [00:40:01] UH, I MEAN SHE'S GOT, SHE'S TOLD ME THAT THE NEIGHBORS AROUND HER HAVE TO LOCK UP THEIR MAILBOXES NOW. 'CAUSE MAIL HAS GONE MISSING. UH, THEIR WATER SPIGOTS OUTSIDE HAVE TO BE LOCKED UP 'CAUSE THEY'RE BEING USED BY VAGRANT IN THE AREA. WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS ISSUE IN 30 YEARS. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S, IT'S A PROBLEM. UH, AND IT NEEDS TO GO AWAY. UH, I DO UNDERSTAND THERE'S CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THE OWNERS AND THE OWNERSHIP AND SELLING IT AND PROBATE. I'VE, YOU KNOW, I GET THAT. BUT IF THE HOUSE IS GONNA BE YOUR REMAIN VACANT, IT NEEDS TO BE EXACTLY THAT VACANT. UH, THE POLICE CAN'T GO AND MONITOR IT DAILY LIKE THEY SHOULD. IT'S BECOME AN ISSUE. ALL RIGHT. MR, DO YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES? THREE MINUTES HAVE EXPIRED? I DO HAVE TWO QUICK QUESTIONS THOUGH. UM, I'M SORRY. CAN'T ASK QUESTIONS IN THE PANEL. OKAY. BUT THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING YOUR TESTIMONY. OKAY. MUCH APPRECIATED. ALRIGHT, I BELIEVE THAT'S IT FOR THE WITNESSES. UM, CHAIR, SORRY. WE DO HAVE FOUR PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS IN COUNCIL DISTRICT SEVEN WHO WOULD ALL LIKE TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS. WE'LL READ THOSE LETTERS INTO THE RECORD. THE FIRST ONE WAS RECEIVED NOVEMBER 12TH, 2025. GOOD MORNING. REGARDING THREE TEN ONE OAK. I'M ACUTELY AWARE OF THE ONGOING ACTIVITIES OF THE OCCUPANTS IN THE HOUSE UP FOR REVIEW AT THREE 10. ONE OAK STARTING APPROXIMATELY IN 2021 THROUGH 2022. A STEADY STREAM OF VEHICLE TRAFFIC AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT BEGAN SHORTLY THEREAFTER. THE FOOT TRAFFIC BEGAN AS WELL. INDIVIDUALS, MALE AND FEMALE, MOST OF THEM CARRYING BACKPACKS, STREAMING IN AND OUT OF THAT RESIDENCE AGAIN AT ALL HOURS. I'VE PERSONALLY BEEN APPROACHED BY THESE INDIVIDUALS ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS TO THIS HOUSE. THE FOOT AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC MAKE THE NE NEIGHBORHOOD UNSAFE AND NEARBY RESIDENTS ARE F FEARFUL OF LEAVING THEIR HOMES. THE YELLING AND ARGUING CAN BE HEARD DOWN THE STREET ALMOST ON A DAILY BASIS. OUR HOME ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT, OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND OUR SAPD SAFE OFFICER HAVE ALL BEEN MADE AWARE OF OUR CONCERNS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER AND FOR ALLOWING CITIZEN FEEDBACK. I HAVE LEFT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION OFF OF THIS NOTE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND I HOPE THAT THIS NOTE CAN STILL BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. DATE OF MEETING TODAY, 11 13 25. ADDRESS BEING DISCUSSED. THREE TEN ONE OAK PUBLIC COMMENT, TWO. NOVEMBER 11TH, 2025 BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, DISTRICT SEVEN. AGENDA ITEM THREE TEN ONE OAK DEAR BOARD MEMBERS, I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT ON ONE OAK SINCE 2021. SINCE MOVING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I HAVE NOTED THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS REGARDING THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. NUMEROUS POLICE AND OR FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLS FIRE WHICH DAMAGED A PART OF THE HOUSE, WHICH DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE EVER BEEN REPAIRED. CONSTANTLY CHANGING HOUSE GUESS OF A QUESTIONABLE CHARACTER. DISCONNECTED UTILITIES AS I HAVE WITNESSED RESIDENCE OF THE PROPERTY, OBTAINING WATER FROM NEIGHBORING HOMES, INCLUDING AT TIMES WITHOUT PERMISSION. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FIRE INSIDE STARTED INSIDE THE HOUSE LAST WINTER FOR WARMTH WAS WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE HOUSE. FIRE TRASH IN THE BACKYARD AND VISIBLE FROM WITHIN THE GARAGE GIVE THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE HOUSE UNPAID PROPERTY TAXES AND DISCONNECTED UTILITIES. IT IS MY VIEW THERE IS NO INTENT TO REPAIR OR IMPROVE THE PROPERTY. AS SUCH, IT WILL CONTINUE TO DEGRADE AND PROVIDE FURTHER SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUES FOR RESIDENTS IN THE AREA. SINCERELY YOURS, THE NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT WAS RECEIVED ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, 2025 AT 10:23 PM PUBLIC COMMENT FOR 11 13 20 25. MEETING ON AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR. THE FOLLOWING PERTAINS TO AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOUR, DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE AT THREE TEN ONE OAK DRIVE. THERE ARE MANY POLICE REPORTS FROM OVER THE YEARS THAT YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO PERTAINING TO THE RESIDENCE OF THE THREE TEN ONE OAK DRIVE HOUSE. WE CAN ATTEST TO THAT PROPERTY'S RESIDENCE, FREQUENT DOMESTIC DISTURBANCES, SCREAMING, PROFANITY, LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENCES, AND THE QUESTIONABLE FLOW OF PEOPLE COMING AND GOING FROM THAT HOUSE AT ALL HOURS, ALL OF WHICH MAKE US FEEL UNSAFE. THE THREE TEN ONE OH COWS HAS NOT HAD POWER OR WATER SINCE LAST YEAR BASED ON ONE NO LIGHTS VISIBLE AT NIGHT. TWO, A POLICE OFFICER CONFIRMING THAT TO ANOTHER NEIGHBOR. AND THREE, A THREE TEN ONE OAK RESIDENT ASKING OTHER HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO ALLOW HIM TO FILL UP WATER JUGS FROM THEIR OUTSIDE SPIGOTS BECAUSE OF ONE INCIDENT OF WATER THEFT THAT OCCURRED AT ANOTHER HOUSE. NEIGHBORS INCLUDING US, HAVE PUT LOCKS ON OUR SPIGOTS. I CANNOT IMAGINE THE UNHEALTHY AND UNSANITARY LIVING CONDITIONS INSIDE THE THREE TEN ONE OAK HOUSE THAT HAS NO BASIC UTILITIES, WHICH I BELIEVE IS ALSO A CODE VIOLATION. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT PER THE CITY, NO ONE SHOULD BE IN THAT HOUSE NOW. BUT THEY STILL ARE. [00:45:01] IT IS NOT PLEASANT TO SUPPORT THE REMOVAL DESTRUCTION OF ANYONE'S HOME. BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT THE WOMEN AND HER ADULT SON AND OTHERS WHO LIVE THERE ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO CARE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR HOUSE RESPECTFULLY. DISTRICT SEVEN. REGARDING ITEM NUMBER FOUR, PUBLIC COMIC NUMBER FOUR. DEAR MEMBERS OF THE SAN ANTONIO BUILDING BOARDS STANDARDS BOARDS, I AM WRITING AS A CONCERN RESIDENT OF SAN ANTONIO RESIDING IN DISTRICT SEVEN TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION A MATTER CONCERNING THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT THREE TEN ONE OAK DRIVE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.

THE PROPERTY AT THREE TEN ONE OAK DRIVE APPEARS TO BE IN SERIOUS VIOLATION OF BASIC HABA HABI, I'M SORRY HA AH, HABITABILITY HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFETY STANDARDS. SPECIFICALLY I HAVE OBSERVED THE FOLLOWING CONCERNING CONDITIONS. THERE HAS BEEN NO RUNNING WATERER SERVICE IN THE PROPERTY FOR AT LEAST THE LAST TWO YEARS. THERE HAS BEEN NO ELECTRIC SERVICE AVAILABLE TO THE PROPERTY FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR ON SEPTEMBER THE 9 20 24. AN OBSERVATION WAS MADE ON AN INDIVIDUAL ENGAGING IN ILLEGAL DRUG USE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE STRUCTURE. THE INCIDENT HIGHLIGHTS A SEVERE IMMEDIATE RISK TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND HELD DUE TO POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES AND RELATED PARAPHERNALIA. THIS PROLONGED LACK OF ESSENTIAL UTILITIES, WATER AND ELECTRICITY, COUPLED WITH DOCUMENTS, ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, SUGGEST SEVERE NEGLECT AND NON-COMPLIANCE WITH MINIMAL BUILDING AND SANITATION STANDARDS. THIS CONDITION POSES SIGNIFICANT HEALTH, SAFETY, AND POTENTIAL RISK FIRES TO THE PROPERTY ITSELF ON THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. MY ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION DIRECTLY HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. I REQUEST THAT THE BOARD CONDEMN THIS PROPERTY DUE TO ITS LACK OF ADHERENCE TO THE CURRENT ADOPT ADOPTED BUILDING CODES AND RELEVANT MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES. I AM AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION OR ACCESS TO THE SITE IF REQUIRED. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR TIMELY REVIEW FOR THIS SERIOUS MATTER AND APPRECIATE THE ACTION YOU TAKE TO UPHOLD BUILDING STANDARDS, SAFETY STANDARDS WITHIN THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.

THE REASON THAT I'M HERE IS THAT I AM THE HEIR TO ONE OF THE OWNER OWNERS, ADAM HERNANDEZ, WHO PASSED AWAY ON JANUARY 28TH, 2022. ON JULY 14TH, 2022, I WAS NOTIFIED BY KEY TITLE GROUP THAT THE PROPERTY WAS UNDER CONTRACT AND THAT SHE WANTED TO ADVISE ME THAT I AM NOW AN HEIR AND I HAD TO GO AHEAD AND ESTABLISH HEIRSHIP. I WENT AHEAD AND SUBMITTED ALL MY DOCUMENTATIONS TO ESTABLISH HEIRSHIP, AND I HEARD NOTHING BACK FROM THEM UP UNTIL FEBRUARY 16TH, 2023. WHEN SHE TOLD ME THAT THE CONTRACT WAS NULL AND VOID, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ADDITIONAL HEIRS. THERE WERE FIVE OTHER HEIRS THAT HAD NOT BEEN LOCATED. SO THE HOUSE WAS NOT GONNA GO UP FOR SALE. SO I RESPONDED, WELL, I'LL GO AHEAD AND DO MY DUE DILIGENCE AND LOCATE ALL OF THE OTHER HEIRS. 'CAUSE ONE OF THE OWNERS WAS MY PATERNAL AUNT NORMA ESCAMIA, WHO PASSED AWAY. AND I LOCATED ALL OF THE HEIRS, DID MY DUE DILIGENCE. AND THEN ON APRIL 24TH, 2025, I WENT AHEAD AND FILED AN AFFIDAVIT OF HEIRSHIP WITH MY ATTORNEY IN BEHALF OF ALL OF MY HEIRS, WHICH ARE MY COUSINS, SO THAT WE CAN PROCEED TO GO AHEAD AND SELL THE PROPERTY. SO I WENT AHEAD AND GOT THAT TAKEN CARE OF. ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, I WENT AHEAD AND REACHED OUT TO MY REAL ESTATE BROKER, PUT THE HOUSE ON SALE ON THE MARKET. WE LISTED IT ON 9 3 20 25 FOR 60,000 AS IS. KNOWING THAT THE HOUSE NEEDED TO BE DEMOLISHED, THERE WAS NO REPAIRS. I WENT INSIDE ABSOLUTELY NO REPAIRS. I HAD BEEN INFORMING ALL OF THE COUSINS WHO WERE THE HEIRS THAT THE PROGRESSION OF THE, THE POTENTIAL SELL OF THE HOUSE. WE'VE HAD TWO POTENTIAL BUYERS OFFERS. BUT AS A RESULT OF ONE OF THE OWNERS NOT RESPONDING TIMELY, WE LOST THE ACTUAL, UH, OFFER ON THAT HOME. SO AS OF THIS DATE, IT'S STILL LISTED ON OCTOBER ONE, WE REDUCED IT TO 55,000, UH, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE HOUSE IS GONNA BE DEMOLISHED. SO THAT IS THE AGREEMENT PART OF THE LISTING. SO WITH ALL OF MY EFFORTS ON MY DUE DILIGENCE TO GET THIS HOUSE RESOLVED, I WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR THE DEMOLISHED CONTRACTOR. I REACHED OUT TO THE CO COMPLIANCE OFFICER, SECURED THE NAMES OF THE CONTRACTORS. THEY WENT OUT TO THE PROPERTY TO SEE IT. AS A RESULT OF ONE DAY, ONE OF THE, UH, DEMOLITION CONTRACTOR WAS THERE, MET WITH MY AUNT, WHO IS THE OWNER, THERESA FLORES, WHO DID STATE THAT SHE WOULD NOT AGREE TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY. SO AT THAT POINT, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I NEEDED TO KEEP PAYING FOR EVERYTHING I HAD BEEN DOING. SO ON OCTOBER 24TH, 2025, MY ATTORNEY DREW UP A SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED AND MY INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY, MY PORTION HAS BEEN ALL DEEDED TO MY FIVE COUSINS AND NOT MY AUNT, THE OWNER THERESA FLORES. SO I'M HERE TO PRESENT THAT I AM NO LONGER HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY AS AN HEIR FOR MY FATHER, ADAM MENEZ. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.

AND THE, UH, NEXT PHOTOS ALSO THERE, THE ROOF DECKING IS MISSING UNDERNEATH HERE IS THE LEFT ELEVATION [01:20:01] LOOKING FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT. SOME OF THE SIDING IS DETACHING AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IT INTERSECTS WITH THE RIGHT ELEVATION. ALSO, THE STUCCO SKIRTING IS BOWING INWARD AT THE MIDDLE.

GOING TO AN OLDER PHOTO, UH, IN JUNE, YOU CAN SEE THE CLOSEUP OF THE DETERIORATED CEDAR POST THAT'S AT THE REAR ELEVATION. HERE'S A VIEW OF WHEN YOU FIRST WALK INTO THE STRUCTURE. YOU CAN SEE THE FLOOR SURFACE IS COVERED WITH WOOD, TRASH, DEBRIS, MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS, AND THE WALL AND THE CEILINGS BOTH CONTAIN HOLES, SAME AREA. LOOKING, GOING A LITTLE BIT FURTHER IN AND LOOKING TO THE RIGHT, THIS IS THE DOORWAY THAT LEADS TO ANOTHER ROOM WITH WHICH IS OBSTRUCTED BY WOOD. THAT'S A BIG PALLET THERE.

I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE PAST THAT EGRESS HABIT HAZARD TO GO INTO THE OTHER ROOM, AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE, UM, THE FLOOR SURFACE IS DETERIORATED AND IT IS VERY SPONGY TO WALK ON. I WANTED TO SHOW THAT, UM, IN THIS INSPECTION ON OCTOBER, THAT THERE WERE NEEDLES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE, UH, PLACED ON THE FLOOR IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS.

HERE'S A VIEW OF THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. JUST TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THAT WHEN I DID PLACE MY LEVEL TOOL ON THE RIGHT SIDE, I HAD A SMALL LEVELER THAT WAS ON THE FLOOR JUST TO SHOW THAT THE GROUND WAS LEVEL.

THIS IS NOT A TRASHY YARD, WHICH WE SEE IN MOST OF THEM THAT WHO BEEN, DID YOU FIND OUT ANYBODY WHO'S TAKING CARE OF IT? IS IT THE NEIGHBORS OR IS IT AT ONE POINT? I HAVE THREE ABATEMENTS THAT ARE LISTED BY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES THAT WERE TAKING PLACE WHERE WE CLEANED THE PROPERTY, UH, BACK IN JUNE OF 2024. THE PROPERTY, IT WAS REALLY, REALLY BAD. UH, THE ABATEMENT DID TOTAL $1,900 AND 19 $1,956 BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS THAT WERE ON THE PROPERTY. THERE WAS ALSO A LARGE AMOUNT OF HOMELESS ACTIVITY THERE. UM, EVER SINCE I'VE BEEN AT THIS PROPERTY, FROM THAT POINT ON GOING BACK AND FORTH, YOU KNOW, RE-INSPECTIONS, UM, THE VNT ACTIVITY HAS DIMINISHED. I GUESS BECAUSE OF MY PRESENCE OF BEING THERE. UH, SO OFTEN NO ONE HAS, FROM WHAT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF THE PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF THE NCE, JUST HAVEN'T BEEN THERE TO, UM, AND IT'S A LOT OF DIRT IN THE, THE DRIVEWAY APPROACH GOING UP TOWARDS TO THE BACK WHERE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IS. SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN A LOT OF ACTIVITY AS FAR AS OVERGROWN VEGETATION, EXTERIOR, UH, ISSUES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

I DID COME WHEN, ON MY LAST INSPECTION IN NOVEMBER 6TH WHEN I DID GO BY. I [01:30:01] COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THERE. NO ONE, THERE WAS NO INDICATION I PUT DOOR HANGERS, TRY TO FIND OUT IF ANYBODY, I ASKED NEIGHBORS, THERE'S A CHURCH THAT'S, UH, ACROSS THE STREET, MAYBE ABOUT, UH, 500 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY. AND I ASKED THE, UH, PASTOR THERE, DO THEY KNOW OF WHO PUT THIS HERE? THE NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR, THE NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR TO THAT. NO ONE KNEW HOW THAT GOT THERE, UH, AT ALL. SO, UH, THAT I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS THERE. I WAS HOPING THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE GOING TO REPAIR IT, BUT THERE WAS NO CONTACT. BUT ON YOUR LAST VISIT, THERE'S STILL INDICATIONS OF PEOPLE GOING IN THERE? NOT, NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, NO. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYBODY IN THERE EVER SINCE I BOARDED IT UP FROM THOSE ABATEMENTS. THERE, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTIVITY AS FAR AS HOMELESS, UH, AT THE PROPERTY DURING MY INVESTIGATIONS, DURING MY INSPECTION, MY PHYSICAL IN THE, UH, SHED. THE SECONDARY YES. ACCESSORY.

UM, RIGHT AT THE, THE ROOF LINE THERE. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE HOLES IN THE ROOF. UH, THEY'RE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BASEBALL AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THEM THROUGHOUT THE, THE ROOFING SYSTEM. UH, THIS WAS MORNING WHEN I TOOK THE PHOTOS OF THESE. UH, THE SUN AT THE TIME OF DAY, AT THIS TIME OF DAY WAS SHINING THROUGH, UH, THE ROOFING SYSTEM AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THAT IT'S VISIBLE FROM THE INSIDE. UH, ONCE WE MOVE TO THE INTERIOR PHOTOS, THIS IS THE CONDITION OF THAT FRONT PORCH. UH, THE FLOORING IS MISSING. THE BOARDS ARE ROTTED AND DETERIORATED. THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND WATER DAMAGED SILL BEAMS TO THE FRONT ELEVATION ARE DETERIORATED. THE ENTIRE PORCH IS SPONGY AND AN EGRESS VIOLATION. THIS IS LOOKING AT THE TOP WALL AROUND THE PORCH. UH, THE WOOD IS ROTTED AND DETERIORATED FROM EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS. NOW THIS PHOTO IS LOOKING INTO THE STRUCTURE FROM THAT REAR ENTRANCE. UH, THE FIRE DAMAGE IS APPARENT ON THE WALLS AND THE CEILING BOARDS ON THE WALLS ARE CHARRED AND MISSING FROM THE FIRE ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE ELECTRICAL BOX ON THE KITCHEN WALL TO THE LEFT OF THE DOOR IS FIRE DAMAGED AS WELL. UH, THERE'S A HOLE IN THE FLOORING AT THE BOTTOM THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT LEADS TO THE CRAWL SPACE UNDER THE STRUCTURE. SO IN THIS PHOTO, IT, IT'S A LITTLE DARK. NO, NO, IT'S OKAY. GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT ONE. I'M SORRY. UH, IN THIS PHOTO, UH, RIGHT THERE IN THE, JUST, JUST HALF THE HALFWAY PARK OF THE PHOTO AT THE FLOOR, UM, IS A DARK SQUARE OPENING. UM, THAT, LIKE I SAID, THAT LEADS RIGHT INTO THE CRAWL SPACE. MS. JARMAN STATED THAT THIS WAS THE LOCATION OF A CHIMNEY AT ONE POINT. LOOKING UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE KITCHEN, YOU CAN SEE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE FIRE DAMAGED THE CEILING, CEILING JOISTS AND THE RAFTERS. THE CEILING BOARD BOARDS ARE BURNED AWAY AND THE JOISTS ARE CHARRED. THE ROOF DECKING ON THE INSIDE IS SMOKE DAMAGED. IF YOU LOOK UP THROUGH THOSE HOLES, YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE. IF YOU LOOK UP THROUGH THOSE MISSING BOARDS, UM, YOU CAN SEE UP TO, UH, A BETTER ANGLE OF THE CHARRING OF THE JOISTS. THE CEILING JOISTS. UM, MOST OF THE CHARRING IS RESTRICTED TO THE CEILING JOISTS AND THE CEILING BOARDS. THE ROOF DECKING HAS, UH, SIGNIFICANT SMOKE DAMAGE. IF YOU TURN BACK AROUND AND LOOK BACK TOWARDS THE REAR ENTRANCE WHERE WE CAME IN, YOU CAN SEE ADDITIONAL FIRE DAMAGE TO THE WALL BOARDS AND THE STUDS IN THE KITCHEN. IF YOU WALK STRAIGHT THROUGH THE KITCHEN, UM, THERE IS A ROOM, UM, UH, DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT. MUCH OF THE CEILING BOARDS AND THE ELECTRICAL FIXTURES SUFFERED SMOKE DAMAGE EXCEPT FOR THE AREA OF THE SHIRT. UH, THE SHARED WALL NEXT TO THE KITCHEN. UH, THE BOARDS WERE CHARRED AND SOME OF THEM ARE MISSING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM AWAY FROM THE KITCHEN. THE CEILING AND WALL IS SMOKE DAMAGED AND THE DRYWALL COLLAPSED FROM WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE CEILING ON A ROOM BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR ROOMS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE KITCHEN. UH, AGAIN, SUFFERED SMOKE AND WATER DAMAGE TO THE DRYWALL, BOTH ON THE CEILING AND THE WALLS. YOU CAN SEE THE DRYWALL TO THE RIGHT OF THE PHOTO IS CRACKED AND SAGGING. [01:50:03] THE DRYWALL HAS HOLES IN. IT SHOWS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SMOKE DAMAGE. THIS IS THE UPPER CORNER OF THE FRONT LEFT ROOM WHERE IT SHARES THE WALL WITH THAT KITCHEN. SOME OF THE BOARDS ARE CHARRED, BOTH ON THE WALL AND THE CEILING AND THE DRYWALL IS DAMAGED. THIS ROOM IS THE VERY FRONT ROOM BY THE FRONT ENTRANCE. UH, MOST OF THE COLLAPSING DRYWALL IS FROM WATER DAMAGE. NOW, IF I TAKE THE FLASH OFF MY CAMERA AND TAKE A PHOTO OF THAT FIRST ROOM THAT, UH, AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE KITCHEN, THAT FIRST BEDROOM, I TOOK THE FLASH OFF AND I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE CEILING. THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE. NATURAL LIGHT IS COMING THROUGH THE BOARDS, AND THAT'S FROM THE HOLES IN THE ROOF. THE STRUCTURE SUFFERED A FIRE ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED DESPITE THE INITIAL OFFICER, UH, DESPITE THE, THE, UM, CARETAKER OF THE PROPERTY. TELLING THE INITIAL OFFICER THAT SHE WAS RENOVATING IT BACK ON FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, UM, THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER APPEARED BEFORE THE BOARD ON AUGUST 14TH, 2025. SHE WAS GRANTED ADDITIONAL TIME TO PROVIDE REQ THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION ON SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2025, 30 DAYS. AFTER THE INITIAL HEARING, UH, MS. JARMIN CALLED ME AND REQUESTED MORE TIME TO OBTAIN THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. I GRANTED THE ADDITIONAL TIME TO COMPLY. NO SCOPE OF WORK OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED. THE STRUCTURAL MEMBER REMAIN, UH, MEMBERS REMAIN IN VIOLATION AND THE STRUCTURE CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE. THE STRUCTURE. TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 6 0 1 SOUTH HACKBERRY IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 2 8 11 12 15, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS 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 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 REPAIR. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 6 0 1 SOUTH HACKBERRY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PANEL? UH, YEAH, THIS IS CHOICE CRIMES. UM, WHY IS THE STAFF RECOMMENDING REPAIR RATHER THAN DEMOLITION? UH, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOU, YOU HAVE NOT GOT A SCOPE OF WORK OR PROOF OF FINANCIAL, UH, ABILITY. CORRECT. AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF THE, WHAT I WOULD SAY IS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE IN THE STRUCTURE IS NOT ENOUGH, UM, IT DOESN'T MEET THAT THRESHOLD THAT, THAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND DEMOLITION. THE FOUNDATION IS STILL STURDY. UH, THE HOUSE HAS, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH, UH, HISTORIC HAS NOT DEEMED IT A HISTORICAL, UM, STRUCTURE, IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE. IT STILL HAS HISTORICAL VALUE. UM, THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH DAMAGE ON THE STRUCTURE FOR US TO RECOMMEND DEMOLITION. THANK YOU. DID YOU SAY THEY PROVIDED FINANCIAL, UM, DOCUMENTS? SHE HAS BROUGHT SOME DOCUMENTATION, UM, SHOWING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SHE MAKES. UM, DID SHE GIVE YOU AN EXPLANATION WHY SHE COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY? SHE IS HERE TODAY. OH, SHE IS? OKAY. YEAH. UM, YOU'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HER FROM, ACCORDING TO THE LETTERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. YOU, YOU'VE HAD CONTACT WITH HER? I HAVE. AND I WAS READING SOME OF THE NOTES AND BECAUSE IT'S BY A SCHOOL AND THE CONDITION OF THE HOUSE AND, AND I I AGREE IT DOES NOT MEET THE THRESHOLD OF DEMOLITION. BUT AREN'T WE IN AN AREA WHERE WE GAVE TIME AS A RESET TO GET AND YOU GAVE TIME TO GET ALL OF THIS AND YOU'RE STILL ASKING FOR A RESET, I MEAN, A REPAIR, RIGHT? CORRECT. SO I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU RAN IT THROUGH STAFF AND SUPERVISORS AND THEY STILL AGREE? YES, SIR. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. CAN [01:55:01] WE HAVE THE OWNER ANGELA HARMON PLEASE STAND, COME TO THE PODIUM. TO THE MICROPHONE. WOULD YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR, UH, RESIDENCE AND WHAT DISTRICT YOU'RE FROM? MY NAME IS ANGELA JARMAN. MY NAME IS ANGELA JARMAN. UM, I RESIDE AT 1 0 2 BAXTER AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 0. I BELIEVE THAT'S DISTRICT FOUR. PERFECT. THANK YOU. WILL YOU GO AHEAD AND PROCEED WITH YOUR TESTIMONY TODAY? UM, I DO WANNA REPAIR IT. THE REPAIRS ARE GONNA COME FROM MY FINANCIAL, UM, CONTRIBUTION. UM, I'M GONNA BE USING PART OF MY RETIREMENT TO DO THE REPAIRS. I'VE HAD CONTACT WITH SEVERAL CONTRACTORS TO COME OUT. THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. I'M STILL TRYING TO FIND A CONTRACTOR TO COME OUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT. GIMME AN ESTIMATE SO THAT I CAN PROVIDE, UH, THE DOCUMENTATION FOR YOU. UH, TODAY I DID PROVIDE MY LAST, UH, CHECK STUB. IT SHOWS HOW MUCH, UH, I'VE MADE SO FAR PER THE YEAR AND HOW MUCH I'VE, UH, CONTRIBUTED THIS YEAR FOR MY, UM, RETIREMENT. UM, THE HOUSE WAS BUILT BY MY GRANDPARENTS. THAT'S WHY I WANNA KEEP IT. AND I WANNA TRY TO, UH, RESERVE IT AND REFURBISH IT. IT IS A LOVELY HOUSE. I I LOVE THAT HOUSE. . DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNER? UH, YOU NEVER TALKED TO A CONTRACTOR? THEY NOT COME OUT. I TRIED TO CONTACT, I HAD A CONTRACTOR, HE WAS ACTUALLY A NEIGHBOR AND HE CAME BY AND HE LOOKED AT IT AND HE PROMISED THAT HE WOULD, YOU KNOW, GO IN DEPTH ON AND TELL ME WHAT I NEED DONE. AND HE KEPT LIKE RESETTING LIKE, HEY, I CAN'T COME TODAY. AND WE WOULD SET DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT JUST KEPT GOING ON AND ON. AND THEN I REACHED OUT TO ANOTHER CONTRACTOR FROM ONE OF MY COWORKERS AND HE'S ACTUALLY JUST COMING BACK FROM HAWAII. HE WAS DOING SOME WORK IN HAWAII. SO HOPEFULLY THIS WEEKEND I CAN GET SOMEBODY OUT THERE. THIS PERSON IS GONNA COME HOPEFULLY. AND UM, THERE'S A GATE OR FENCE AROUND THE PROPERTY. THERE ARE TWO ENTRANCES THAT ARE OPEN. I DID BUY THE GATES TO BE PUT UP. THE FIRST CONTRACTOR WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET ME. I HAD ALL THE, THE THINGS THAT HE NEEDED, ALL THE SUPPLIES AND HE, HE DIDN'T. SO THE PROBLEM IS ME TRYING TO GET SOMEBODY THAT I COULD TRUST TO COME OUT AND DO THE WORK. SO YOU SAY YOU BOUGHT ONE GATE? I BOUGHT ONE GATE BECAUSE HE WAS GONNA DO THAT. THAT WAS RIGHT. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER OPENING? THE OTHER OPENING, I PICKED OUT THE GATE AND I WAS GONNA PURCHASE IT, BUT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR THAT ONE, I DIDN'T GET THAT ONE, THE OTHER ONE. BUT I CAN GET THAT ONE BECAUSE I WANT IT SECURED SO THAT NOBODY CAN GET IN THERE. AND WHAT TIMELINE WERE YOU LOOKING FOR? THE REPAIR. 'CAUSE THERE HAS TO BE A TIMELINE ON IT, AT LEAST ANOTHER 30 DAYS TO AT LEAST GET EVERYTHING STARTED AND GET THE ESTIMATES AND GET THE MATERIALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW IS NOBODY COMING EXCEPT THE ONE GUY FROM HAWAII AND YOU CAN'T GUARANTEE HE'S GONNA SHOW UP. RIGHT, RIGHT. OKAY. AND YOU WANT 30 DAYS. I HAVE ANOTHER GUY IN MIND AS WELL, AND I'M GONNA BE CALLING HIM TODAY JUST TO SET IT UP JUST IN CASE THAT ONE FALLS THROUGH. AND NOBODY'S LIVING IN IT, RIGHT? NO, NOBODY'S LIVING. THERE'S NO SIGNS OF VAGRANT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AROUND THAT AREA? NO. OKAY. NO, BECAUSE OUR CONCERN IS THE SCHOOL, THE TWO SCHOOLS NEAR IT, RIGHT. THEY'RE WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET, SO RIGHT. AND IT'S, IT'S, UM, BOARDED UP AND EVERYTHING. THERE'S NOBODY IN AND OUT OF THE, AND, AND YOU BOARDED, YOU HAD THAT BOARDED UP YOURSELF, RIGHT? I DID. I HAD A COMPANY COME OUT AND BOARDED UP. OKAY. BECAUSE WHEN, UH, THE FIRE HAPPENED, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEY REMOVED ALL OF MY WINDOWS SO THE HOUSE WAS EXPOSED. THAT'S WHY I HAD TO, TO DO THAT. YEAH. THE SAD THING ABOUT THAT IS THEY DO MORE DAMAGE BECAUSE OF THE FIRE ITSELF AND THE WATER DOES, AND THEN YOU END UP WHERE YOU'RE AT HERE TODAY. MM-HMM . YEAH. AND, AND WE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION TOO BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE DONE TO SAVE WHAT STRUCTURE THEY CAN SAVE. SO, UM, SO YOU WANT 30 DAYS AND YOU HAVE POTENTIAL CONTRACTORS? YES. ALRIGHT. [02:00:01] AND YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS ONE THING WE DON'T SEE THAT MUCH. YES, I AM. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. OKAY. UH, MR. CHAIRMAN? YES, PLEASE GO AHEAD, GEORGE. MR.

AND THEY WERE GONNA PUT MY NAME ON THE TITLE AND INSTEAD, I DON'T KNOW HOW HIS, HIS NAME STAYED ON THERE AND THEY PUT MY NAME AS WELL BECAUSE WHENEVER I GO PAY THE TAXES, ANYTHING, HIS NAME IS ON THERE AS THE ESTATE. AND IT HAS MY NAME ON THERE AS WELL INSTEAD OF JUST MY NAME. AND I DID THAT, UM, I THINK MAYBE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF HIM BEING DECEASED. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE PANEL? NO. THANK YOU MR.

UH, IF, IS IT, ARE WE AUTHORIZED TO GIVE THE CODE OFFICER AUTHORITY IF IT GOES BEYOND TO MAKE THE REC, IF THEY'RE MAKING THE REPAIRS AND IT GOES BEYOND THE 30 DAYS OR COMES CLOSE TO THAT, ARE WE AUTHORIZED OR CAN WE AUTHORIZE THE CODE OFFICER TO EXTEND THAT IF NEED BE AS LONG AS PROGRESS IS BEING MADE? NO, SORRY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS HEARD ME, IF MY MICROPHONE NO. SO IT CAN ONLY BE FOR 30 DAYS, BUT IF PROGRESS IS MADE AND THEY STILL NEED, WELL IF THIS, IF THIS PORT GO, GOES, MOVES FORWARD WITH THE 30 DAY REPAIR ORDER, UM, IT IS, IT IS THE, UH, THE CODE OFFICER, UM, DETERMINES IF THE PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK OR NOT. WELL, OKAY, SO YOU DON'T NEED IT. SO IT WOULD STILL BE THE CODE OFFICER STILL HAVING RIGHT. IT IT, OKAY. AGAIN, IT, IT IS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES THAT, THAT DETERMINES WHAT PROPERTIES, WHAT STRUCTURES NEED THEY'D LIKE TO BRING BEFORE THE BOARD. SO IF YOU GIVE A 30 DAY REPAIR ORDER, UM, UH, THE DECISION AS TO WHETHER THAT PROPERTY NEEDS TO COME BACK BEFORE THE BOARD IS, IS DEPENDENT ON DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND AT THEIR DISCRETION. OKAY.

IT IS A TOWNHOUSE STYLE GARAGE CARPORT THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY THAT IS SEPARATELY OWNED. UM, FROM THIS PHOTO YOU DO SEE THE DETERIORATION TO THE ROOF THAT IS SAGGING. THE HEADER TO THE GARAGE DOOR IS ACTUALLY SAGGING AS WELL. CAN I STOP YOU JUST FOR A MOMENT? CAN YOU CLARIFY THAT REGARDING THE GARAGE THAT IT'S ATTACHED TO ANOTHER BUILDING THAT'S YES. CAN YOU ELABORATE JUST A LITTLE BIT ON THAT PLEASE? SO IT IS THE, IT IS A ATTACHED, UM, WITH THE SIDING. UM, WE HAVE HAD THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR GO OUT THERE TO DETERMINE IF A PARTIAL DEMO IS POSSIBLE TO ONLY TAKE THIS SECTIONS AND THIS OWNER'S PORTION. SO THAT'S WHY WE ARE RECOMMENDING A PARTIAL DEMO FOR THIS AS IT IS A WHOLE STRUCTURE FOR TWO GARAGES THAT ARE SEPARATELY, SEPARATELY OWNED. UM, WE ARE DOING A PARTIAL DEMO FOR THIS STRUCTURE. THE TWO SEPARATE PARTS OF THE GARAGE, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JUST IT'S ONE GARAGE BUT ONE HAS ACCESS TO ONE SIDE THEN THE OTHER? CORRECT. [02:10:01] UM, SO WE, WE, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PHOTOS OR LIKE ONE PHOTO IN THE PRESENTATION THAT SHOWS THE, THE DIRECTION OF THE TRUST THAT THEY DO RUN.

WELCOME BACKBOARD. UM, SO FOR THIS PHOTO WE DO HAVE THE AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY AND THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY. UH, TO SHOW THAT THE UH, ACCESSORY CARPORT GARAGE IS ATTACHED TO THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY AS WELL AS THE MAIN STRUCTURE. TODAY WE ARE ONLY BRINGING THE ACCESSORY, UH, GARAGE AS WELL AS THE SMALLER ACCESSORY THAT IS IN THE REAR OF THIS PROPERTY. UH, JUST TO CLARIFY THAT THE GARAGE IS THE FRONT STRUCTURE OR THE ONE TO THE LEFT THAT WE'RE SEEING CORRECT. IN THE TRIANGLE AND EVEN THROUGH THE AERIAL YOU CAN SEE THE HOLES THAT ARE IN THE ROOF SYSTEM AS WELL. RIGHT. AND WE ARE CALLING IT A GARAGE SO IT'S CORRECT FLOOR POSTS AND IT'S MECHA MECHANICALLY FASTENED TO THE NEIGHBORING STRUCTURE? NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE. UM, THE BUILDING, LIKE I SAID, THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR DID GO OUT THERE TO DETERMINE THE FRAMING SYSTEM TO SEE IF A PARTIAL DEMOLITION IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE WE CAN SEPARATE THEM, UM, WHEN DOING THE DEMOLITION. AND WHAT WAS, WHAT WAS HE SAY? HE SAID IT'S POSSIBLE. IT'S POSSIBLE. GOOD. THANK YOU. SO HERE WE DO HAVE THE, THE, THE FRONT VIEW OF THE STRUCTURE. YOU DO SEE TOWARDS THE RIGHT SIDE IT IS THE NEIGHBORING GARAGE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE OUR, OUR PROPERTY'S GARAGE. THAT IS, UM, UP FOR DEBATE TODAY. YOU DO SEE THE OVERHANG THAT IS WATER DAMAGE AS WELL AS THE TRUSS THAT IS THERE IS SAGGING DIRECTLY AS WELL AS THE HEADER TO THE GARAGE. AND THIS IS ACCESSORY ONE? THIS WAS ACCESSORY ONE, CORRECT. AND I, I KNOW IN THE DESCRIPTION WE HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN AS CARPORT, BUT WE KNOW THAT'S INCORRECT. IT IS A GARAGE. SO ORIGINALLY IT WAS ONLY THE BACK SECTION OF IT IS OPEN, BUT THE OWNER ENCLOSED IT TO, TO SEAL IT. SO THAT'S WHY WE WERE KIND OF, KIND OF A CARPORT GARAGE MIX. BUT IT IS CLOSED OFF IN THE REAR. NOW, MR. CHAIR, THIS IS LEGAL. OKAY. UM, WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS CALLING IT AND REFERRING TO IT AS A GARAGE. UM, NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT THAT BACK IS, IS IS CLOSED OFF, SO UM, IN THE BOARD'S ORDER IT WILL, UM, ACCESSORY ONE WILL BE GARAGE. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION. THANK YOU. PLEASE PROCEED. YES. NEXT BOTTLE PLEASE. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS JUST A CLOSEUP JUST TO SHOW THE, UM, AGAIN, THE DETERIORATION TO THE ROOF SYSTEM THAT IS THERE. IT IS A GRAVEL SYS, A GRAVEL COVERING AS WELL. SO IT IS PRETTY HEAVY. AND HERE WE DO HAVE ANOTHER CLOSEUP OF THE, OF THE LEFT ELEVATION. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT, THAT IT IS PARTIALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE REMAINING, UH, WOOD MEMBERS. AND HERE IS ANOTHER CLOSEUP OF THE OVERHANG. YOU CAN SEE THE SEVERE WATER DAMAGE AND, UH, ROTTING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE SHEATHING. AND HERE IS A, A, A FRAME OF THE PHOTO TO SHOW THE SEPARATE TRUSS THAT FOLLOW, UM, BETWEEN THE TWO NEIGHBORING PROPER OR THE TWO CONNECTED PROPERTIES STRUCTURES? I'M SORRY, CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT PART? YOU'RE SAYING AT THAT LINE, WHICH IS WHERE THE OTHER TRUST IS, THAT DECKING IS ATTACHED TO THIS HOUSE? SO I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE NEIGHBOR WHO, UM, RESIDES AT THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY. HE ACTUALLY HAS WENT ON THE ROOF AND SAWED OFF HIS SECTION SO THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER, THE DECKING IS NO LONGER ATTACHED. SO HIS SECTION WOULD BE WITH THE EVE FROM THE WHITEBOARD, CORRECT? RIGHT. AS I'M LOOKING AT IT CORRECT. [02:15:01] UP THERE. SO HE'S ALREADY DETACHED FROM, FROM, FROM THE, FROM THE DECKING. UM, HE WANTED TO DETACH HIMSELF BECAUSE HE DID HAVE HIS ROOF REDONE A FEW YEARS AGO AND DIDN'T WANT THERE THE, UH, CONTINUOUS WATER DAMAGE FROM THIS SECTION TO GO INTO HIS AREA. SO THE ONLY THING IS THAT WALL RIGHT THERE WHERE THE, WHERE THE BOTTOM TWO BY FOUR COME TO THE, HIS TWO BY FOUR ON HIS CHEST. MM-HMM . THAT RIGHT THERE STILL ATTACHED. CORRECT. IT APPEARS HE ONLY DID THE DECKING. HE ONLY DID THE DECKING, CORRECT. RIGHT. SO, AND ON THAT FIRST PICTURE, IT SHOWS KIND OF LIKE A DIVIDE ON THE ROOF. MM-HMM . BUT THIS IS NOT A DIVIDE. MM-HMM . THERE'S AN ACTUAL CONNECTION. OKAY. BECAUSE WE'RE DEALING NOW WITH A, NOT LIKE WE DO ON NORMAL MM-HMM . WE'RE DEALING WITH SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROPERTY, NOT THE SAME OWNER'S PROPERTY WHEN WE DO DEMO OR PARTIAL. YES SIR. THIS IS WHAT WE DON'T WANT. CORRECT. SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE. YES SIR. ALRIGHT, BECAUSE WE NEED, WHEN WE WRITE THIS UP, IT HAS TO BE I UNDERSTAND. NO, I UNDERSTAND. SO HERE WE ARE GOING INTO, INTO THE LEFT AND REAR ELEVATION OF THE GARAGE. UM, THERE HAS BEEN VAGRANT ACTIVITY AT THE PROPERTY. NO ONE HAS BEEN PRESENT. WHEN I HAVE MADE LOCATION, UM, A SECTION OF THE UM, WOOD BOARD THAT IS RIGHT THERE WAS, UH, BROKEN INTO. UM, YOU ALSO DO SEE, UH, SOME OF THE, UM, SOFFIT THAT IS DETACHING AS WELL AS THE HOLE IN THE ROOF SYSTEM. AND HERE IS A CLOSEUP OF THAT CORNER REAR POST. UM, ON THE LEFT END, UH, REAR ELEVATION, YOU DO SEE THAT IT IS SEVERELY WATER DAMAGED AND IS ROTTING. THIS IS GONNA BE THE REAR SECTION CLOSEST TO, UH, THE NEIGHBORING STRUCTURE OR ATTACHED TO THE NEIGHBORING STRUCTURE WHERE YOU DO SEE WHERE THE NEIGHBOR HAS REPLACED THAT SHEATHING AND DECKING ON THAT PORT, AS WELL AS THE SEVERELY WATER DAMAGED SHEATHING AND DECKING THAT IS ON THIS PROPERTY ADDRESSES STRUCTURE AND THIS IS THE OPENING TO, TO THE REAR OF THE GARAGE. UM, YOU DO SEE THERE IS A LOT OF ITEMS IN THERE AND YOU CAN ALREADY BEGIN TO SEE THAT THE CEILING COVERING IS DETACHING. THIS WILL BE A VIEW FROM THE LEFT ELEVATION. UH, YOU DO SEE THERE IS SOME ELECTRICAL THAT IS HANGING AS WELL DUE TO THE CEILING COVERING THAT IS DETACHING AND FALLING. SO THIS IS A VIEW FROM, FROM THE GARAGE, FROM THE FRONT ELEVATION. YOU DO SEE THAT THE, THE ROOF TRUSS DO RUN FRONT TO BACK AND THIS IS JUST PAN OVER TOWARDS THE INTERIOR OF THAT LEFT ELEVATION. AND YOU DO SEE ALL THE, UM, AMOUNT OF DEBRIS AND TRASH THAT IS IN THE, WITHIN THE STRUCTURE HERE IS, UM, THERE IS THIS A WALL ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION THAT IS, THIS IS THE WALL THAT IS CLOSEST, THAT IS SH SHARED FROM THE, UM, NEIGHBORING PROPERTY NEIGHBORING STRUCTURE. UM, YOU DO SEE THE AMOUNT OF WATER DAMAGE. YOU DO SEE SOME SUNLIGHT COMING IN DUE TO THE, UM, DETERIORATED ROOF SYSTEM. HERE IS ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS A SMALL SHED. YOU DO SEE THE, UM, LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION ON THE EXTERIOR. THE DOOR HAS ALSO BEEN, UM, DAMAGED TO ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE STRUCTURE. IT IS ALSO SAGGING, I'M SORRY, SINKING INTO GRADE. AND HERE WE HAVE THE LEFT ELEVATION. AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS SEVERELY SINKING INTO THE GRADE AS WELL AS THE LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION. UM, UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE A REAR ELEVATION PHOTO FOR THIS. UM, IT IS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE BACK FENCE AND THE NEIGHBOR DOES HAVE A LARGE DOG THAT WOULD ALWAYS BARK WHEN I GO BY. SO HERE, WE DO HAVE A VIEW OF THE INTERIOR. IT IS FILLED WITH A LOT OF ITEMS AND TRASH AND DEBRIS AND THIS IS JUST A VIEW OF THE ROOF SYSTEM OF THERE. YOU DO SEE SOME WATER D DAMAGE TOWARDS THE TOP RIGHT SECTION OF THAT PHOTO. ACCESSORY ACCESSORY. ONE GARAGE IS A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE CONSISTING OF WOOD FRAME CONSTRUCTION WITH WOOD AND HARDY BOARD, UH, SIDING WITH A FLAT ROOF SYSTEM AND A GRAVEL COVERING ON A CONCRETE SLAB FOUNDATION. THE ROOF SYSTEM IS COLLAPSING WITHIN THE STRUCTURE. THE REMAINING ROOF SYSTEM IS WATER DAMAGE, HAS HOLES IN THE OVERHANG IS DETERIOR DETERIORATING. THE GARAGE DOOR HEADER IS SAGGING ITEMS IN DEBRIS THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE. WILDLIFE AND THE ELEMENTS ARE ABLE TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE DUE TO THE DEFECTS STRUCTURE IS CONNECTED TO THE NEIGHBORING GARAGE, UM, CAUSING A CONCERN FOR THEIR STRUCTURE ACCESSORY. NUMBER TWO, THE SHED IS IN THE REAR, IS SINKING INTO GRADE AS THE WOOD SIDING IS ROTTING AND DETERIORATING, LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION. THE ROOF SHINGLES ARE WORN AND A FEW ARE MISSING CAUSING WATER DAMAGE TO THE SHEATHING ITEMS [02:20:01] AND DEBRIS IN THE INTERIOR WILDLIFE AND ELEMENTS ARE ALSO ABLE TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE. TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 9,500 SIMPLICITY DRIVE ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTIONS FOR ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE, THE GARAGE R 1 2 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, AND 17 AND 18. I'M SORRY, SUBSECTIONS FOR ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO, THE SHED ARE 5, 11, 12, 17, AND 18. I DO WANNA MAKE A CORRECTION. UM, ON HERE IT DOES STATE THAT IT IS SUBSECTION 10 FOR THE SHED. UM, PLEASE CHANGE THAT TO, UM, SUBSECTION 11 IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE. PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSES A THREAT, POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS PARTIAL DEMOLITION FOR ACCESSORY ONE, THE GARAGE AND FULL DEMOLITION FOR ACCESSORY TWO, THE SHED. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 9,500 SIMPLICITY DRIVE. ALRIGHT, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I GOT ONE FOLLOW UP. UH, I THINK IT'S 1 0 6 IF I, IT'S SHOWING ELECTRICAL WIRES. DID YOU TALK TO THE HOMEOWNER AND DID HE INDICATE THAT THERE WAS NO ELECTRICITY TO THAT? SO I HAVE CONFIRMED WITH CPS THAT THERE ARE NO ACTIVE SERVICES CURRENTLY FOR THE PROPERTY.

FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS CYNTHIA SANTANA, DANGEROUS PREMISES OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 42 34 WILD OAK DRIVE 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 1 2 2 3 5 BLOCK NINE, LOT FIVE, LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS GUTIERREZ HARRY P AND ROSE M WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 2 0 5 ERS AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 7 5 7 3 4. ALL NOTICES OF HEARING WERE PROPERLY ISSUED AS REQUIRED. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS NOT PRESENT TODAY. DOES THE BOARD WISH TO CONTINUE? ANY CONCERNS? SEE NONE. PLEASE CONTINUE. NO PHONE NUMBERS WERE FOUND FOR NOR HAVE I SPOKEN WITH THE OWNER. THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS CONFIRMED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2025. THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION. THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 42 34 WILD OAK DRIVE WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 18TH, 2025. [02:30:01] ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON AUGUST 7TH, 2025 AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED ON SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2025 ON OCTOBER 30TH, 2025. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 4 2 3 4 WILD OAK DRIVE ON OCTOBER 29TH, 2025. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO THE OWNER AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS NOT RETURNED. NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS OF NOVEMBER 12TH, 2025. THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE FOR 42 34 WILD OAK DRIVE. THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE TAKEN ON OCTOBER 13TH, 2025. THIS FIRST, THIS FIRST PHOTO IS OF THE FRONT ELEVATION SHOWING A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE BUILT IN 1958 WITH A SLAB ON GRADE FOUNDATION. THE STRUCTURE HAS A WOOD SIDING AND BRICK VENEER AND A GABLE ROOF SYSTEM. IT'S 1,673 SQUARE FEET. THIS STRUCTURE IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A SCHOOL. THE STRUCTURE IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND HAS HAD NO WATER SINCE MAY 8TH, 2018, NOR HAS ANY ELECTRICAL SERVICE. THE ROOF ABOVE THE FRONT PORCH EXHIBITS EXTENSIVE WEAR WITH SECTIONS OF THE DECKING MISSING AND ROTTING. THE FASCIA IS DETACHING ABOVE THE WINDOW TO THE RIGHT OF THE DOOR. ADDITIONALLY, THE SIDING HAS DETACHED FROM THE BUILDING UNDER THAT SAME FRONT WINDOW. THIS PHOTO SHOWS THE FRONT OF THE RIGHT ELEVATION. SIDING IS MISSING IN THE CARPORT AREA. THE FASCIA IS DETERIORATED. THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION FROM THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE. THE ATTACHED UTILITY AREA HAS A ROTTED AND COLLAPSING ROOF. THE ROOF COVERING IS TORN AND HAS HOLES. THE DECKING IS WATER DAMAGED. THE SUPPORTING WOOD MEMBERS AT THE TOP CLOSE TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS ALMOST ROTTED AWAY. THIS PHOTO IS OF THE REAR COVERED PORCH AND REAR ELEVATION DIRECTLY ABOVE THE ROOF ON THE PATIO. THE SOFFIT ON THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS DECAYING AND SEPARATING. YOU CAN SEE THE WOOD SIDING UNDER THE WINDOW, UH, ON THAT REAR ELEVATION HAS BEEN PULLED LOOSE. THIS IS, UM, COMPLETE, UM, PHOTO OF THE REAR ELEVATION. THE ROOF IS A LOW-PITCHED ROOF, SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THE ROOF COVERING, BUT FROM HERE YOU CAN STILL SEE THE DETERIORATION THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE CENTER JUST BEYOND THE PATIO OVERHANG. THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION FROM THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE. MORE OF THE WOOD SIDING IS DETACHING UNDERNEATH THAT FIRST WINDOW, YOU CAN SEE A HOLE IN THE OVERHANG ON THE REAR ELEVATION ON THAT LEFT UPPER CORNER. THIS IS A CLOSER VIEW OF THE DETERIORATION ON THAT OVERHANG. THIS IS LOOKING UP ON THE REAR ELEVATION. THE DECKING ON THE OVERHANG HAS EXTENSIVE WATER DAMAGE AND HAS COLLAPSED. THE ROOF COVERING HAS HOLES AND THE ROOF ROOF SHEATHING IS DAMAGED. JUST ANOTHER ANGLE OF THAT REAR OVERHANG A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE PATIO AND THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE THAT HAS OCCURRED. THE RAFTERS ARE DAMAGED FROM THE EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THAT UTILITY AREA THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE. THE ROOF HAS A LARGE HOLE. THE ROOF COVERING IS HANGING OVER THE EDGES TO THE LEFT HERE YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW ROTTED THAT WOOD MEMBER IS AT THE TOP WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE. THIS PHOTO SHOWS A CLOSER LOOK AT THE OVERHANG ON THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE. IT HAS THE SAME DEFICIENCIES THAT EXIST HERE, UM, EXISTING HERE AS IT DOES IN THE REAR. THIS IS LOOKING INTO THE MAIN STRUCTURE FROM THE REAR ENTRANCE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DRYWALL AND INSULATION HAS COLLAPSED, UH, FROM THE CEILING. THE DECKING SHOWS WATER DAMAGE. IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT, UH, FROM THAT SAME POSITION, UH, IN THE TOP RIGHT PORTION OF THE PHOTO, YOU CAN SEE NATURAL LIGHT COMING THROUGH [02:35:01] THE ROOF. THE RAFTERS AND THE DECKING ARE VERY WATER DAMAGED. UM, THE CEILING JOISTS ARE ALSO DAMAGED FROM THE WATER EXPOSURE. ONCE YOU STEP INSIDE THAT REAR ENTRANCE, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN AROUND AND LOOK BACK AT THE WALL. UM, HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BOTTOM PLATE IS JUST COMPLETELY MISSING. UM, THAT WALL IS LITERALLY JUST HANGING, UH, FROM THE CEILING. THE WALL STUDS AND THE WOOD WALLS ARE WATER DAMAGED AND DETERIORATED. THE GAP IS ALLOWING RODENTS TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE DIRECTLY ABOVE THAT SECTION. ON THE WALL, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE, THERE ARE LARGE HOLES IN THE ROOF ALLOWING THE WEATHER ELEMENTS TO CONTINUE TO ROT AWAY THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS. UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS JUST AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF DETERIORATION FROM EXPOSURE TO THE WEATHER. AS YOU WALK OUT OF THAT FIRST ROOM, YOU CAN SEE, UH, THERE'S A BATHROOM HERE WHERE THAT EXTERIOR WOOD PANEL, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ON THE BACKSIDE, WAS PULLED AWAY. UM, THIS IS WHERE ENTRY WAS BEING MADE INTO THE STRUCTURE. THE TOILET IS PUSHED ASIDE SO THEY COULD GET THROUGH THAT AREA DIRECTLY ABOVE THE SHOWER. IN THIS BATHROOM, NATURAL LIGHT IS VISIBLE FROM MORE HOLES IN THE ROOF. THE TILES IN THE SHOWER HAVE DETACHED AND DEBRIS GATHERED ON THE FLOOR OF THE SHOWER. WHEN YOU LEAVE THAT BATHROOM, YOU WALK DOWN A HALLWAY, THERE'S A SECOND BATHROOM ON THE LEFT SIDE. UM, THERE ARE, THE BATHROOM WALLS HAVE BEEN TORN OUT IN THAT ONE. UM, THERE'S TWO MORE BEDROOMS. UH, AS YOU WALK DOWN THE HALLWAY, THERE'S TWO MORE BEDROOMS ON THE RIGHT. UM, THERE WAS NOT ANY REAL DETERIORATION IN THOSE BEDROOMS, HOWEVER, WE DID FIND MATTRESSES IN THERE. CIGARETTES SHOES, UM, WERE VAGRANTS, WERE BREAKING IN AND, AND STAYING INSIDE THE STRUCTURE. NO ONE WAS THERE WHILE WE WERE THERE. UM, WE'VE HAD TO SECURE THIS STRUCTURE TWICE SINCE WE STARTED THIS BSB CASE. THIS IS A CONTEXTUAL PHOTO OF THAT REAR ROOM. UH, THE ENTRANCE DOOR SHOWS THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE HOLES IN THE ROOFING SYSTEM. THE ROOM IS FULL OF DEBRIS CREATING AN EGRESS ISSUE FOR FIRST RESPONDERS SHOULD AN EMERGENCY OCCUR. THIS IS KIND OF A CLOSEUP OF THE, THE REAR DOOR FRAME AND YOU CAN SEE HOW COMPLETELY SEPARATED IT IS FROM THE STRUCTURE. THIS IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY NEGLECTED BY THE OWNERS. THE CITY HAS BEEN ABATING THIS PROPERTY FOR THE LAST TWO AND A HALF YEARS, SECURING, CUTTING THE VEGETATION, CLEANING THE PROPERTY, AND IT'S NOW REACHED A POINT OF DILAPIDATION THAT HAS IT, UH, BROUGHT HERE BEFORE THE BOARD. TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 42 34 WILD OAK DRIVE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX, UH, DASH 1 15 6. SUBSECTIONS 1 2 7 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS 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 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 42 34 WILD OAK DRIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OFFICER SANTANA, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICE? UH, YES. UH, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE, BEEN ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ANYBODY REPRESENTING THE OWNER? NO, SIR. I, I EVEN TRIED TO DRIVE TO THE ADDRESS THAT WAS ON THE BCA ADDRESS.
