WHAT WAS THE COST? UH, THE FIRST ABATEMENT, THE COST WAS 1800, THE SECOND ABATEMENT WAS 1000, AND THE TOTAL COST FOR ALL THE ABATEMENTS TOGETHER IS 2,800.
AND THAT'S ONLY FOR THE PLYWOOD, CORRECT? I'M SORRY, SIR.
YOU DIDN'T PICK DEBRIS UP, THAT WAS JUST TO BOARD UP THE UH, NO, SIR.
IT WAS TO CLEAN THE PROPERTY, CUT THE GRASS, AND TO BOARD UP THE STRUCTURE TWICE.
AND THE ONE THAT WE SAW, THE OPEN WINDOW, YOU SAID THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN CLOSED? YES.
ALL WINDOWS HAVE BEEN BOARDED UP AS OF OUR LAST ABATEMENT, IS THERE ANY OUTSTANDING OR ANY NEW ABATEMENT ORDERS? NOT CURRENTLY, NO.
AND THE HOUSE IS VACANT AT THIS TIME? YES, SIR.
HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE OWNER SINCE THE, UH, REMOVAL OF PEOPLE I'VE SPOKEN TO, UH, MR. LORADO ON JANUARY 16TH, WHICH WAS LAST FRIDAY, UM, I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO THE OTHER PARTNER, UH, OWNER SINCE, UM, I THINK THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE WAS WHEN WE MET THERE ON MAY 20TH, 2025.
WHAT WAS YOUR CONVERSATION DEALING WITH THE PROPERTY? UH, WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER, WITH MR. OSCAR HERA, WE HAD EXPLAINED THE WHOLE D DANGEROUS PREMISES PROCESS OF REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
UH, SINCE HE TOOK OVER OWNERSHIP.
UH, WE ALSO EXPLAINED THE REQUIREMENT TO KEEP THE PROPERTY CUT CLEAN AND SECURED.
UM, BUT SINCE THEN HE'S NOT KEPT UP WITH THE PROPERTY.
I'VE ONLY HAD A CONVERSATION WITH HIM PRIOR TO COMING TO THIS BOARD.
UM, AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD AND EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE PROPERTY.
DID HE GIVE YOU ANY, UM, INFORMATION THAT HE WOULD KEEP THE PEOPLE OUT OF THERE SO THEY WOULDN'T COME BACK OR HE DID ON THE DAY OF THE EVICTION? HE DID GET WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THAT.
UH, BUT HE DID SIGN A TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT FOR THE, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK, BUT I'LL ASK, THAT'S WHY I WAS GONNA ASK OFFICERS.
YOU GOT THIS PROPERTY BY GOING BY IT OR WAS IT, UH, A 3 1 1 OR, UH, IT WAS REPORTED TO ME BY THE AREA CODE OFFICER.
SO YOU DON'T KNOW, UH, UH, THE SCHOOL'S A THOUSAND FEET WITHIN THE A THOUSAND FEET RULE? YES, SIR.
DO YOU KNOW IF THAT'S A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA FOR CHILDREN? UH, IT IS A SIGNIFICANTLY, UH, IT'S A LARGE NEIGHBORHOOD.
UM, IT IS AN ACTIVE NEIGHBORHOOD.
I KNOW THE COMMUNITY, UH, SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, UH, BOARD MEMBERS ALSO LIVE ON THAT STREET.
UM, SO I HAVE SEEN CHILDREN, UM, PLAYING ON THE STREETS OR IN THE AREA AS WELL.
EVEN THOUGH THAT'S IN, I THINK IT'S ELEMENTARY.
UH, THERE'S A, IT'S CLOSEST TO, IT'S WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
UH, BUT NEXT DOOR TO THE HIGH SCHOOL
[00:20:01]
THERE IS, UH, MIDDLE SCHOOL AS WELL.SO YOU GOT ALL AGES GOING THROUGHOUT THAT AREA? YES, SIR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
UM, NEXT WE'LL HAVE, UH, THE SAPD OFFICER.
UM, PLEASE, UH, STATE YOUR NAME AND THE DISTRICT THAT YOU CONDUCT THE SENTENCE.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR FOUR AND A HALF YEARS, AND HAVE BEEN WORKING AT THE SAFE UNIT, UH, FOR TWO YEARS NOW.
FOR MOST OF MY CAREER, I'VE ACTUALLY HAD ONE 50 ALLENDALE IN MY DISTRICT.
UM, IT'S BEEN A NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERN FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CALLS, UH, WE'VE RECEIVED ON PATROL FOR UNKNOWN OF PROPERTY DAMAGE COSTS, CONSTANT DISTURBANCE CAUSED BY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS BEING A CONSTANT NUISANCE AT THE PROPERTY, AND FRANKLY, THE RESIDENTS NOT BEING COOPERATIVE AT THAT PROPERTY.
WHEN THE NEW LLC BUSINESS OWNER TOOK OVER ONE 50 ALLENDALE, UM, AFTER ANTHONY, UH, LEFT, I WAS VERY HOPEFUL TO HAVE A NEW OWNER TO HELP REBUILD THE VACANT PROPERTY INTO A BEAUTIFUL HOME, UH, FRANKLY, TO HELP RESTORE THE COMMUNITY.
HOWEVER, THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER OUR FIRST CONTACT WITH THE NEW LLC OWNERS, UH, WHICH I WAS IN CONTACT WITH OSCAR, I WOULD PATROL BY AND CHECK ON ONE 50 ALLENDALE MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.
UM, AND THERE WOULD BE TRASH DUMPED ALL OVER THE FRONT YARD, ALMOST EVERY POINT OF ENTRY BROKEN AND EXPOSED ALONG WITH BOTH FRONT AND BACK FENCES BROKEN.
UM, THERE'S AN ALLEYWAY IN THE BACK WHERE THE FENCE IS COMPLETELY BROKEN, AND IT'S HARD TO SEE BECAUSE THE GRASS WAS ALWAYS OVERGROWN.
UM, BUT THAT ALLEYWAY, WE WOULD GET CONSTANT CALLS FOR PEOPLE GOING IN AND OUT.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF ELDERLY ON THIS STREET.
UM, I MEAN, I CAN, I CAN TAKE Y'ALL ALL THERE A DIFFERENT DAY.
UM, BUT I'M, I'M VERY KNOWN WITH THIS STREET.
UM, THE GRASS WAS CONSTANTLY OVERGROWN, LIKE I SAID, AND I HAD RECEIVED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM RESIDENTS ALONG WITH THE THOMPSON COMMUNITY, HOA PRESIDENT, UH, MR. RUDY.
HE LIVES DOWN THE STREET AND SO DO HIS PARENTS, MAYBE LIKE A FEW HOUSES DOWN ON BOTH SIDES.
AND WHEN I WOULD CHECK THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE, I WOULD ALWAYS FIND IN EVERY ROOM DRUG PARAPHERNALIA SCATTERED.
UM, AND IT HAS BEEN KNOWN THAT THE PREVIOUS RESIDENTS WERE INTO DRUGS BECAUSE FRANKLY, I'VE, I ARRESTED THEM.
IT WAS IN MY DISTRICT, LIKE I SAID.
UM, SO I WAS CONSTANTLY AT THAT HOUSE MAKING ARRESTS FOR DRUGS.
AND IF IT WASN'T NEW CHARGES, IT WAS WARRANTS FOR DRUGS.
AND IT WASN'T JUST, UH, ONE PERSON THAT WOULD BE MULTIPLE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS THAT THEY WOULD GO FREQUENT DOWN THE STREET BY JOHN F. KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL.
IN BRENTWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHICH IS LIKE A, A PREVIOUS DANGEROUS PREMISES OFFICER HOSTEL SAID WITHIN THAT THOUSAND, UH, YARDS.
AND FRANKLY, ALL THE ARRESTS WERE COMING FROM THE ALLENDALE.
IF NOT, UH, IT WOULD BE CAUGHT DOWN THE STREET AND THEY WERE KNOWN TO BE VACATED OR IN, IN LIKE A TENT IN THE BACKYARD OF THAT AREA.
UM, WHENEVER I WOULD LET OSCAR KNOW, SEND HIM PICTURES, UH, CONSTANT MESSAGES JUST TO KIND OF HELP HIM, LIKE, HEY, I'M CHECKING THE AREA.
AND THAT'S KIND OF OUR, WHAT WE DO.
WE HELP TRY TO SECURE IT AS BEST WE CAN WHENEVER WE ARE ABLE TO GO.
BUT WE'RE NOT A PRIVATE SECURITY COMPANY, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE THERE ALL DAY.
UM, I WOULD NEVER RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE FROM OSCAR.
UH, THE ONLY HELP FRANKLY I'VE EVER GOTTEN WAS FROM DANGEROUS PREMISES JASO.
AND THIS HAS BEEN A NEIGHBORHOOD NUISANCE BASED ON THE ARREST.
UM, I HATE TO KEEP REPEATING IT, UH, BUT THAT'S HOW, THAT'S HOW I FRANKLY FEEL ABOUT THIS HOUSE.
UM, BECAUSE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S IN, THERE'S A LOT OF ELDERLY, IT'S A GENERATIONAL AREA, SO THIS IS THREE, FOUR GENERATIONS THAT THEY'VE BEEN LIVING THERE.
AND THEY'RE KENNEDY ROCKETS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE DOWN THE STREET.
I'VE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS FOR SPEEDING.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, I BELIEVE YOU ASKED IT, IT IS A HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA, HEAVY HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA BECAUSE THEY'RE THAT TYPE OF, UH, DEVELOPMENT.
A LOT OF THE PARENTS, THEY WORK 12 PLUS HOUR SHIFTS, SO KIDS ARE CONSTANTLY WALKING HOME, THEY'RE WALKING TO THE LOCAL STORES AND YOU PASS ALLENDALE TO GET TO APARTMENTS TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF ALLENDALE STREET.
UM, AND IT CONNECTS TO MULTIPLE POPULAR STREETS.
UM, SO THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT NUISANCE, AND I'M, I'M FRANKLY GLAD WE'RE HERE TODAY, UM, BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF COOPERATION WE'VE HAD WITH THE OWNERS.
AND IT'S, IT'S A CONCERN WHENEVER WE KEEP GETTING CALLS THERE AND WE KEEP HAVING THE SAME ANSWERS FOR THE PEOPLE THERE, AND IT'S NOT RIGHT FOR THEM TO, TO LOOK AT
[00:25:01]
THAT AND TO HAVE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, THEY DON'T JUST BRING VACANCY, THEY BRING CRIMES.AND THEN ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU, WORKING AT THE SAFE UNIT FOR HOW LONG I HAVE ONE HOMELESS INDIVIDUAL TURNS INTO FIVE, IT TURNS INTO 20 VERY QUICKLY.
UM, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? I'VE GOT A FEW, BUT I WANNA ASK, UH, COUNSEL, IS IT PERMISSIBLE SINCE IT WASN'T A DARK CASE, THAT WE CAN ASK FOR CRIMINAL HISTORY? UH, NO.
UH, YOU CAN RELY ON THE OFFICER'S STATEMENT AS TO THE FREQUENCY OF THE ACTIVITY OCCURRING.
UH, BUT, UH, THE CRIMINAL HISTORY, UH, UM, AS RELATED TO THE SPECIFICS, CALLS FOR SERVICE, UH, ARE NOT BEFORE THIS BOARD.
UM, YOU'VE BEEN IN THIS DISTRICT FOR, YOU SAID THREE YEARS OR JUST AS A SAFE, SAFE FOR TWO, BUT I'VE HAD THE ACTUAL SAME DISTRICT FOR FOUR.
I GOT LUCKY GOING INTO THE SAFE UNIT.
SO YOU'RE FAMILIAR, AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT SHIFT YOU WORK, BUT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH DAILY ACTIVITY IN THAT AREA.
I USED TO WORK ONE 30 TO NINE 30 EVENING BEFORE I BECAME A SAFE OFFICER.
SO YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH BOTH EVENING AND MORNING? YES, SIR.
ESPECIALLY DEALING WITH SCHOOLS.
AND THIS HOUSE IN ITSELF HAS BEEN AN ISSUE? YES, SIR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? NO, SIR.
UM, THE OWNER, REPRESENTATIVE LIONEL ADO, PLEASE COME APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND COUNCIL DISTRICT YOU RESIDE OR CONDUCT BUSINESS IN FOR THE RECORD, THE MIC.
UM, HIS NAME IS, UH, OSCAR LADO, AND HE'S THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
UH, THE PROPERTY WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY OSCAR RA RA HERA, UH, UH, DUE TO SOME MONEY THAT HE, THAT HE OWED HIM IN FORECLOSURE, THE HOME WAS, UH, ACQUIRED DUE TO A FORECLOSURE.
SO HE'S ATTEMPTED TO SELL THE HOME.
UH, HE'S BEING TOLD THAT, THAT HE HAS UNTIL APRIL TO SELL THE HOME BECAUSE, UH, UH, IN ORDER TO RETAIN HIS, THE FULL OWNERSHIP OF THE HOME SO THAT HE CAN SELL IT.
SO, UH, THE, THE REASON HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO SELL THE HOME IS BECAUSE THE PERSON THAT IS, UH, WANTING OR SHOWS INTEREST, SO TO, TO BUY THE HOME, UM, DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE THE RISK OF THE FORECLOSURE AND FALLING THROUGH, AND THEN IT OWNS TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
UM, YOU DID NOT TRANSLATE THE PART WHERE IT'S A FORECLOSURE AND IT'S A WARRANTY DE HE DOESN'T HAVE FULL OWNERSHIP.
SO HE DOES HAVE A PLAN, UH, TO REMODEL.
[00:30:01]
IN FEBRUARY, THAT IT STARTED IN, THAT WILL START IN FEBRUARY, ALL THE WAY THROUGH APRIL.UM, IN THE HOPES THAT BY THE TIME THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FULL CLOSURE COMES THROUGH, THE HOME IS ALREADY RENOVATED.
HE HAS THE PLAN TO, UH, THE REMODELING PLANS AND THE FUNDS FROM THE BANK AS PROOF.
CAN YOU GIVE THE FORMS IF OKAY.
UM, MEMENTO, UH, MR. ANDS HAD THE QUESTION, IF THE HOUSE WAS FORECLOSED? NO, THE HOUSE WAS BOUGHT AT A FORECLOSURE, UM, AND IT'S A WARRANTY DEED, AND IT'S NOT CLEAR UNTIL APRIL.
THE, THE PLAN IS AGAIN, TO RESTATE THE PLAN IS TO REMODEL, BEGIN RE UH, REMODELING THE HOME IN FEBRUARY, ALL THE WAY THROUGH APRIL, ONCE THE FORECLOSURES FINALLY CLOSES, THEN BEING ABLE TO SELL THE HOME TO RESTATE.
AND FOR THAT REASON, NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE PRIOR.
DID YOU, UH, HE ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY, OR HE RECEIVED THE PROPERTY IN MARCH OF 2025.
WE'RE GONNA ASK THAT HE EXPLAINS WHAT THIS IS.
IS MY CONTRACT, I, UH, HIS CONTRACTOR IS COMING UP, UH, WELL, BASICALLY WE'RE RELATED AND THE, I DO YOU NEED TO STATE YOUR NAME? YES, I'M SORRY.
AND THE DISTRICT THAT YOU RESIDE IN? UH, YES.
AND WHAT CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT DO YOU LIVE IN OR YOUR ADDRESS? UH, RIGGS RIGSBY 3 0 6 SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
WE TRYING TO MAKE A PLAN TO REPAIR THIS HOUSE.
UH, THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS TRY TO CLEAN THE PROPERTY AND MAKE IT SECURE SO THAT WAY WE STOP THE ISSUES THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING.
AND THAT'S THE MAIN THING UNTIL WE GET, UH, THE PERMITS TO APPROVE, TO START TO DO ALL, ALL REPAIRS, UH, AS YOU SEE ON THAT PAPER, UM, WE HAVE TO REPLACE SOME WINDOWS AND DO AS MUCH, UH, PLEASE TURN UP YOUR CELL PHONE.
AND DO AS MUCH WE CAN, UH, WE SPECIFY EVERYTHING WE NEED TO DO IN THERE, PLUS WHATEVER EXTRA WE, WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE IT GREAT.
AND I THINK ONE OF THE MOST PROBLEMS IS THAT THE HOUSE IS VACANT, SO EVERYBODY'S GOING, GOING INTO IT.
SO E EVEN IF WE, WE DEMOLISH THE HOUSE, WE PRETEND TO MAKE ANOTHER HOUSE, AND IT'S GONNA BE THE SAME PROBLEM BECAUSE ON THE PROCESS THAT WE MAKE IT, PEOPLE IS GONNA TRY TO BE INTO IT, SO WE DECIDE TO REPAIR IT AND SELL IT.
WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME TO DO IT.
IS THIS THE ONLY DOCUMENT? OH, NO, THERE'S MORE.
IS THE DOCUMENT, UH, HE ALSO WANTS TO PRESENT THE FUNDS THAT IS AVAILABLE? YEAH, SO HE'S JUST ASKING THE BOARD TO GIVE HIM A, A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME SO HE CAN BEGIN, UH, REMODELING, UH, IN FEBRUARY.
DOES YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY? NO.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
UH, YOU HAD INDICATED THAT YOU ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY IN MARCH OF 25.
[00:35:02]
MM-HMMAND WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH, UH, LA SOLUTIONS VENTURES? SO, I'M OWNER.
AND YET YOU'VE ONLY HAD THE PROPERTY SINCE 25? MM-HMM
UM, WHEN HE WAS, UM, MAKING HIS STATEMENT, HE DID SAY THAT IT WAS BOUGHT AT A FORECLOSURE BY SOMEONE NAMED OSCAR, AND THEN OSCAR OWED HIM MONEY, SO HE GAVE HIM THE PROPERTY INSTEAD.
SO, LA VENTURES ACTUALLY ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY EARLIER THAN 2025.
UM, LIKE, UM, CHAIR MIRANDA SAID APEX, UH, FROM A COMPANY NAMED APEX.
APEX INVESTORS, UH, CHAIR, THIS IS LEGAL, UH, WITH THE BOARD, BE ABLE TO ASK, UH, THE, UH, UH, OWNER TO EXPLAIN THE, UH, THE, UH, I CAN'T THINK OF THE WORD, BUT EXPLAIN THE FACT THAT, UH, CIO VENTURES, THAT HE IS THE OWNER OF ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY, UH, THROUGH GENERAL WARRANTY DEED ON NOVEMBER 20TH, 2024.
UH, THE FORECLOSURE, THE SHERIFF'S SALE OCCURRED PRIOR TO THAT.
AND SO COULD HE EXPLAIN THE DISCREPANCY? BECAUSE, UH, TITLE RECORDS INDICATE HE HAS BEEN IN, UH, POSSESSION, CUSTODY, AND CONTROL OF THIS PROPERTY SINCE NOVEMBER 20TH, 2024.
AND THAT'S WHERE I WAS HEADED.
COUNSEL, UH, IN TERMS OF HOW LONG LA VENTURES HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE PROPERTY, THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE QUESTION ITSELF.
SO THE, UH, THE COUNCIL'S QUESTION WAS, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEED DATE OF NOVEMBER OF 2024 AND THE ACQUISITION OR THE TAKEOVER OF MARCH OF 25? CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO DATES, VENTURES, LA VENTURES IN
OFFICER CASO HELPED VACATE THE PREMISES FROM THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE PROPERTY.
MR. EZ? YEAH, THIS IS FRED ES I'M GONNA ASK YOU THE TECHNICAL SIDE.
NOW, IF YOUR CONTRACTOR COULD COME UP SLIGHTLY SO YOU CAN INTERPRET CONTRACTOR.
DO YOU NEED HELP TRANSLATING? NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
YOU ARE THE CONTRACTOR, CORRECT? YES, SIR.
ON YOUR LIST, YOU GAVE A, A, UH, DESCRIPTION OF EVERYTHING YOU'RE GONNA DO? NO, WE STILL NEED TO DO MORE THINGS.
UH, IT'S KIND OF, UH, YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY WHEN YOU START SOMETHING RIGHT? I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR MYSELF, SO, YES.
YOU, YOU ALREADY SAID THERE WASN'T SOME OTHER STUFF ON THERE, WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT THE LIST YOU GAVE US IS YOUR ITEMIZED LIST, WHICH IS REQUIRED, YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
AND HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT STARTING ON FEBRUARY ONE, AND HE SAID TO APRIL.
IS THAT JUST TO APRIL ONE OR IS IT BEYOND, OR WHAT IS YOUR TIMELINE? UH, I'M THINKING ABOUT SINCE ONCE WE STARTED, RIGHT? PROBABLY YOU THINKING, I'M THINKING ABOUT COUPLE MONTHS.
[00:40:01]
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ON DAYS DAY, RIGHT.ALWAYS GOES ONE WEEK LATER, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU CAN GET YOUR PERMITS.
IT DEPENDS THAT, UH, HAVE YOU TRIED APPLYING FOR PERMITS? UH, WE GOING PLAN TO APPLY FOR PERMITS.
SO THAT'S GONNA DEPEND YOUR ABSOLUTELY.
SO YOU'RE TALKING 60 DAYS, YOU HAVE YOUR, UH, LIST AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR FINANCIALS.
SO YOU'RE ASKING FOR A REPAIR OR YOU ASKING JUST 'CAUSE ALLS WE REQUIRE IS YOU BRING IT UP TO CODE.
SO THAT'S ALL WE'RE REQUIRING.
WE'RE NOT REQUIRING YOU TO MAKE THE TAJ MAHAL, WE JUST WANT YOU TO REPAIR IT.
YOU THINK YOU CAN GET IT UP TO CODE WITHIN 60 DAYS? ABOUT, YES, SIR.
SINCE WE STARTED, ONCE WE STARTED, NOW THAT'S YOURS.
YOU'RE GONNA SECURE IT AS WELL, RIGHT? CORRECT.
AND IT HAS NO POWER RIGHT NOW? NO WATER? NO, NO WATER, NO ELECTRIC POWER? UH, MINE AS WELL.
UM, I WAS TALKING TO LEONEL AND WHAT WE CAN START TO DO IS MAKE SECURE THE PROPERTY, LIKE GET A DUMPSTER, CLEAN THE INSIDE IN AND OUT, AND, YOU KNOW, CLOSE WINDOWS, DOORS AND TRY TO PUT A FENCE.
SO THAT WAY WE KEEP PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE PROPERTY.
THE QUESTION I ASKED, SO HE MAY HAVE TO COME BACK UP.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE OWNERS, YOU HAVE SIGNED A TRESPASS WITH THE SAPD FOR ANYBODY WHO COMES ON THE PROPERTY, THEY CAN BE TRESPASSED.
IS THAT CORRECT? UH, I'M, I'M NOT, I'M NOT SURE.
MAYBE GO TO THE OWNER IF YOU COULD ASK HIM THAT.
UM, WHAT IS IT? UH, IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY THEY SIGN IT WITH SAPD.
DID SAPD CAN ARREST ANYBODY THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE PROPERTY FOR TRESPASSING.
TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT, EXCUSE ME.
OR THIS IS, UH, DANGEROUS PREMISES OFFICER JAIME HASSO.
UH, JUST KIND MAKE YOU AWARE THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER, OR MR. OSCAR HERA IS THE ONE THAT HAD SIGNED THAT PAPERWORK WITH, UH, SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO HE HASN'T DONE IT WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER.
DO YOU MIND IF I TRANSLATE THAT PART? MM-HMM
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ONE QUESTION I HAVE REALLY IS FOR THE CONTRACTOR.
THE, THE HOUSE IS ON THE, ON THE GROUND.
THERE WASN'T ANYTHING ABOUT FOUNDATIONAL REPAIRS OR FIND FOUNDATIONAL CHECKS.
IT IS, UH, THE HOUSE IS SITTING ON POST IS NOT ON CONCRETE.
SO THAT, THAT MAKE IT EASY FOR US.
SO THE, ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE, THE, THE FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT YES, SIR.
IS THAT GONNA BE PART OF THE REVIEW? EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO WE, WE NEED TO, FIRST OF ALL, LIKE I SAY, WE NEED TO CLEAN IT UP AND SEE THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE PROPERTY AND WHATEVER IT NEEDS IS GONNA BE DONE.
AND DO WE HAVE A DATE CERTAIN OF WHEN THE PROPERTY'S GONNA BE SECURED AND CLEANED? BRING THAT DUMPSTER IN, SIR.
UH, IT IS, FIRST OF ALL, THAT'S, UH, SOMETHING THAT WE NEED.
NOW I'M THINKING, UH, IT MATTERS, UH, COMING UP, UH, NEXT WEEK.
THANK, WE HAVE TO ORDER A DUMPSTER AND TRY TO CLEAN THE PROPERTY.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE MAIN THING I THINK FOR NOW.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
WE HAD TO SIGN UP, UM, TO SPEAK FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS.
MADAM CHAIR, THIS, THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 5 0 AVONDALE DRIVE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME
[00:45:01]
AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE, UH, EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE MAIN.AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM 60 DAYS TO REPAIR WITH THESE STIPULATIONS.
IT STAYS, THE PROPERTY MUST BE SECURED, UM, CUT OFF ALL UTILITIES EXCEPT WHAT'S NEEDED.
THEY CAN TURN THAT BACK ON, UH, CODE OFFICER TO BE UPDATED EVERY 15 DAYS.
AND THAT, THAT'S MY PROPOSAL OR THAT'S MY MOTION.
OKAY, SO THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY IS FEASIBLE FOR REPAIR AND IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, UH, SECTION SIX DASH ONE 15 WITH SECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
THE ORDER IS A 60 DAY REPAIR, UH, TO KEEP THE PROPERTY SECURED, TO CUT ALL UTILITIES AND TO CHECK IN WITH THE CODE OFFICER EVERY 15 DAYS.
IS THAT CORRECT? UH, YOU SAID CHAPTER 1 5 6 1 5, YOU, YOU FORGOT TO PUT THE SIX ON THERE.
UH, IT'S SECTION SIX DASH 1 56 AND OTHER THAN THAT, EVERYTHING'S CORRECT.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? THIS IS YVONNE ADDISON, I SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION? UH, I, I DON'T KNOW IF NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME, UH, BECAUSE OF THE VOTE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN, UH, AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN YET.
UH, I AM CONCERNED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN OWNED SINCE 2024.
UH, THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP HAPPENED IN, OR, UH, OR AT LEAST CHANGE OF, UH, PERSON IN CHARGE IN MARCH OF 2025.
WE'RE NOW TALKING ABOUT JANUARY OF 2026.
UH, THERE APPEARS TO BE NOTHING THAT HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRE OCCURRED IN ITSELF.
UH, IN ADDITION, THERE'S, UH, UNC COOPERATION ACCORDING TO THE LA UH, TO THE, UH, POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT, UH, THE OWNER IS NOT COOPERATIVE.
THERE'S THE ISSUE OF, OF THE SCHOOL.
THERE'S THE ISSUE OF THE DATE, AND THEN THERE'S THE ISSUE OF THE AMOUNT OF REPAIR.
UH, BECAUSE BASED ON JUST A REAL QUICK REVIEW AND REAL QUICK COST CALCULATIONS, THE REPAIR IS UNDERSTATED.
UH, AND, UH, I'M NOT REAL SURE THAT, THAT THIS IS A PROPERTY THAT, UH, IS REPAIRABLE AT THIS TIME.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? UH, YEAH.
UM, I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT, BUT IF THEY'RE WILLING, NOW WHEN THEY GET ALL THIS CLERICAL STUFF DONE, WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DOING, I'M WILLING TO AT LEAST GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO MAKE GOOD.
AND IF NOT, THEN WE COME BACK HERE.
I I DO UNDERSTAND, UH, YOUR POINT.
UH, BUT WHEN I, WHEN I JUST LOOK AT THE PROPERTY, UH, FROM THE DATE OF OCCURRENCE TO BASICALLY THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT I LOOK AT WAS DONE IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, UH, THERE APPEARS TO BE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT'S BEEN DONE.
AND AS A RESULT, I'M NOT REAL SURE THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE DONE ACCORDINGLY.
UH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY.
IF IT'S NOT DONE, IT COMES BACK.
UH, SO, UH, THAT'S A VERY VALID POINT, UH, THAT I DID CONSIDER AND PER COST OVERRUN.
IN REALITY, IF THEY HAVE THAT MONEY, THEN THE COST OVERRUNS GONNA BURN THROUGH THAT $250,000.
THAT WOULD BE TRUE, AND I UNDERSTAND OF THE, THE LOW BID, BUT HE ALSO ALSO STATED THAT IF THERE IS ADDITIONAL THINGS, IT WILL BE PICKED UP.
I SAW THAT POINT, AND I'M MORE FOR TRYING TO SAVE, IF SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO SAVE, THEN TEAR IT DOWN AND HAVE A VACANT LOT WHERE NTS CAN STILL GO IN THERE AND CAMP.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT ON THAT IS WE'VE DONE ENOUGH OF THESE TO KNOW THAT WE'LL GET SOME BACK THAT FALL THROUGH AND HE'S WILLING TO MAKE THE DEAL THEN, YOU KNOW, I'M THINK WE ARE WILLING TO AT LEAST TRY AND IT'S NOT THE
[00:50:01]
FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD 'EM COME BACK.SO CALL THE MOTION CHAIR, UH, MADAM CHAIR.
UH, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS, UH, LEGAL MATTERS.
UH, THE TIME IS NOW 10:04 AM ON JANUARY 22ND, 2026.
THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD WILL RECESS FROM THE OPEN MEETING AND CONVENE AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO CONSULT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL TO DISCUSS ATTORNEY-CLIENT MATTERS PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 51 DASH OH 7 1 1 OF THE TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE.
THE TIME IS NOW 10:31 AM ON JANUARY 22ND, 2026, AND THE BILLY SIMMONS BOARD WILL NOW RECONVENE AN OPEN SESSION.
NO OFFICIAL ACTION WAS TAKEN IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
JUST FOR CLARITY, CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR MOTION, MR. ANDES? YES.
THE MOTION WAS TO REPAIR WITHIN 60 DAYS, THE UTILITIES WILL PUT, BE CUT OFF UNTIL THE CONTRACTOR CAN PUT 'EM BACK ON IF, UH, OR, UH, SECURE THE PROPERTY AND A REPORT TO THE CODE OFFICER EVERY 15 DAYS.
OKAY, AND WE ALREADY HAD A SECOND AND WE WERE IN DISCUSSION.
THE, THE 60 DAY REPAIR ORDER, UH, IS LESS THAN THE PROPERTY OWNER ASKED FOR.
UH, BECAUSE OF THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE ABOUT WHAT HAS BEEN DONE BETWEEN THE DATE OF PURCHASE, THE DATE OF, UH, CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP, THE DATE OF THIS BOARD, AND THE DATE OF NOTICES, UH, AND THE ACTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN, UH, IT'S STILL OF A HUGE CONCERN.
AS A RESULT OF MY CONCERN, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION.
AND THAT AMENDMENT WOULD BE THAT THE PROPERTY, IF NOT REPAIRED IN 60 DAYS, WOULD FALL INTO A AUTOMATIC DEMOLITION PROCESS.
YOU, UH, SO IF IT'S NOT REPAIRED WITHIN 60 DAYS, IT AUTOMATICALLY DEFAULTS TO DEMOLITION.
DO YOU ACCEPT THE AFFIRM THE AMENDMENT? THIS IS YVONNE ADDISON.
ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? LET'S DO A ROLL CALL.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF FIVE TO ZERO.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN GET WITH THE CODE OFFICER.
WE'LL BE MOVING ON TO TWO 15 ROLLMAN AVENUE.
YEAH, WE GO OUTTA ORDER, THEY GIVE ME A LIST.

THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE ALSO TAKEN ON MARCH 24TH, OCTOBER 30TH AND DECEMBER 8TH, 2025 AND JANUARY 14TH AND JANUARY 20TH, 2026.
THIS IS THE MAIN STRUCTURE AT TWO 15 RUMAN AVENUE.
IT IS A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE.
THE STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1920 AND IS APPROXIMATELY 1,450 SQUARE FEET.
THE STRUCTURE HAS APPEAR PURE AND BEAM FOUNDATION, WOOD FRAMING, WOOD SIDING, AND A GABLE ROOF WITH SHINGLES.
THE STRUCTURE IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A SCHOOL.
THE STRUCTURE IS OCCUPIED AND HAS ACTIVE WATER, GAS, AND ELECTRICAL SERVICES.
THE FRONT ELEVATION SHOWS MISSING FASCIA ON THE RIGHT CORNER OF THE ROOF AND A LARGE ACCUMULATION OF OUTSIDE PLACEMENT AND RUBBISH ON THE PORCH AND YARD CREATING EGRESS VIOLATIONS.
THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE SHOWING MORE DAMAGE ON THE SOFFIT AND THE FASCIA BOARDS THERE TOWARDS THE CENTER.
BOTH THE FRONT AND THE LEFT ELEVATION LACK WEATHER PROTECTION TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE WALLS AND HAS DETACHING TRIM ON THE FRONT LEFT CORNER.
THE SIDING IS SEPARATING FROM THE STRUCTURE UNDERNEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER.
THE STRUCTURE IS UNLEVEL AND IS SINKING TOWARDS THE GRADE AT THE REAR LEFT CORNER.
THE SEWER PIPES ARE RUNNING ALONG THE GROUND NEXT TO THE HOUSE WITH MAKESHIFT RUBBER COUPLINGS.
THE SKIRTING IS MISSING FROM THE FOUNDATION.
THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THE ROOF DECKING IS WARPED FROM WATER DAMAGE.
UH, THE TRIM AND THE SIDING ARE DETERIORATED FROM LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION.
THERE IS A WATER HEATER BEHIND THE DRAPED CLOTH ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
IF YOU LOOK TO THAT RIGHT EDGE OF THE REAR ELEVATION, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE REAR SECTION IS LISTING TO THE RIGHT.
ADDITIONAL PHOTOS WILL SHOW A FAILING FOUNDATION ON THAT CORNER.
THIS REAR SECTION IS AN ADDITION BUILT ONTO THE HOME AT SOME POINT.
BEXAR COUNTY APPRAISAL DIS DISTRICT INDICATES THE HOME IS 868 SQUARE
[01:00:01]
FEET WITH AN 84 SQUARE FOOT PORCH ON THE FRONT.HOWEVER, CURRENT MEASUREMENTS SHOW IT AT APPROXIMATELY 1,450 SQUARE FEET.
THERE ARE NO PERMITS FOR THIS ADDRESS IN THE CITY DATABASE, NOR IN THE HANSEN LEGACY PORTAL, WHICH IS AN ARCHIVED PERMIT DATABASE.
THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THE FASCIA AND THE SOFFIT ARE DAMAGED ON THIS SIDE AS WELL OVER BY WHERE THE TWO BY FOURS ARE LEANING UP AGAINST THE STRUCTURE.
THE WOOD SIDING, THE FLOOR JOISTS AND THE SILL BEAMS ARE DETERIORATED AT THE BOTTOM UNDER BOTH WINDOWS.
THE ROOF IS UNLEVEL AND RISES UPWARD ON THE RIGHT SIDE AS IT GOES OVER WHERE THE ADDITION WAS PUT ON.
THIS PHOTO IS A CLOSEUP OF THE SEAL BEAM ON THE FRONT ELEVATION.
UH, THERE IS A NOTCH CUT OUTTA THE SEAL BEAM AND IT IS BEING SUPPORTED BY WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TWO BY FOUR.
THE SEAL BEAM IS NOT RESTING ON THE CEDAR POST AND THE WOOD SIDING IS DETERIORATED FROM A LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION.
HERE'S THE UNDERSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE AT THE FRONT ELEVATION SHOWING THE FOUNDATION.
UH, THE FLOOR JOISTS, IF YOU'LL NOTICE OUR SCAB TOGETHER AND ONE END OF THE FLOOR JOIST THERE IS NOT RESTING ON A SILL BEAM.
UH, THIS IS CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE, THE FOUNDATION UNDER THE STRUCTURE.
THE CEDAR POST THAT IS THE SECOND FROM THE LEFT, ONE IS LISTING TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE ONE, UH, THE SEAT, THE POST THAT IS IN THE CENTER IS SHIMMED WITH WOOD PIECES.
UM, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT IN THE PICTURE, BUT EVEN FURTHER BACK, UM, SEVERAL MORE PIERS ARE SHIMMED WITH WOOD PIECES.
HERE IS THE EXTERIOR SEAL BEAMS ON THE LEFT ELEVATION.
UH, THEY'RE NOTCHED OUT TO REST ON ANOTHER BEAM THAT IS GOING DIRECTLY UNDER THE STRUCTURE.
THE SEAL BEAM TO THE RIGHT OF THE POST IS SPLIT AT THE POINT WHERE THE NAIL IS DRIVEN INTO IT AND THE NAILS ARE THERE.
UH, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT ONE SOLID BEAM, IT APPEARS TO BE TWO TWO BY SIXES ADHERED TOGETHER.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THOSE TWO BOARDS THAT ARE ADHERED TOGETHER.
UH, THIS IS THE JUNCTION AT WHERE THE ADDITION TO THE REAR MEETS THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE.
THE BEAMS ARE TWISTED AND STACKED ON THE POST, AND THOSE SEWER LINES ARE ABOVE GROUND AT THE REAR ELEVATION WHERE THE STRUCTURE IS SINKING TOWARDS THE GRADE.
UH, THE SUPPORT BEAM, IF YOU CAN SEE UNDER THERE, IS ROTTED AWAY AND IS RESTING ON GRADE.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE JUNCTURE, UM, WHERE THE ADDITION WAS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S PULLING AWAY.
UM, THE BATHROOM IN THE HOME IS IN THIS ADDITION, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE NATURAL LIGHT COMING THROUGH THE WALLS AT THIS LOCATION.
ONCE WE GET TO THE INTERIOR PHOTOS, THIS IS A CONTEXTUAL PHOTO OF BOTH THE REAR AND THE LEFT ELEVATION.
IT GIVES YOU A BETTER PERSPECTIVE OF THE CONDITION OF THE ROOF DECKING.
THERE'S NO FASCIA HERE AND THE DECKING IS SEVERELY WATER DAMAGED.
UH, THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THAT DAMAGED FASCIA ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
THE RIDGE IN THE ROOF, UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THOSE TWO BY FOURS.
UH, IS THE SECTION WHERE THE UNPERMITTED ADDITION BEGINS.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE ADDITION IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL BUILD ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION AS WELL.
THIS IS THE ENTRYWAY TO THE FRONT DOOR.
UH, THE MORNING THAT I TOOK THIS PHOTO, THEY HAD STUFFED TOWELS UNDERNEATH THE DOOR TO PREVENT THE COLD AIR FROM COMING IN.
DUE TO THE LARGE GAP UNDER THE DOOR, THERE'S A LARGE GAP BETWEEN THE PORCH AND THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THE FLOORING IS DAMAGED, UH, ON THE ENTRYWAY HERE EXPOSING THE SUBFLOOR.
THIS IS LOOKING INTO THE FRONT DOOR.
UH, THERE'S A MEDICAL BED UP AGAINST THAT FAR WALL WHERE MRS. MALDONADO HAS TO SLEEP, AND THAT IS HER WHEELCHAIR.
THERE'S SO MANY ITEMS IN THE ROOM,
[01:05:01]
UH, ON THE FLOORS THAT MRS. MALDONADO IS UNABLE TO NAVIGATE TO OTHER ROOMS, INCLUDING THE RESTROOM IN HER WHEELCHAIR, WHICH IS, UH, NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR HANDICAP EGRESS VIOLATIONS.THIS IS A GAS HEATER WITH A RUBBER SUPPLY HOSE, UH, THAT'S PROVIDING HEAT TO THE STRUCTURE IN THE LIVING ROOM WHERE SHE SLEEPS.
IN ORDER TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THAT HOSE, I HAD TO MOVE THE COUCH.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE GAS LINE IS COMING UP THROUGH THE FLOOR AND, UH, REMAINS THERE UNDERNEATH THE COUCH.
THE YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE HOLE IN THE WALL NEAR THE FLOOR IN THE DRYWALL.
AT THE OTHER END, UH, OF THE COUCH IS THE FRONT DOOR.
UM, THERE IS ALSO A HOLE IN THE DRYWALL.
IT APPEARS TO BE A LOCATION WHERE RODENTS MAY BE ENTERING THE HOME.
THIS IS A ROOM THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO THE LIVING ROOM.
UH, IT'S IN BETWEEN THE LIVING ROOM AND THE, EXCUSE ME, THE KITCHEN.
I HAD TAKEN PHOTOS PREVIOUSLY OF THE DAMAGED CEILING IN HERE, BUT WHEN I RETURNED, UH, THESE CLOTHES AND ITEMS ON THE FLOOR HAD BEEN PLACED, UH, IN THE ENTRANCE TO THE ROOM, CREATING MORE EGRESS VIOLATIONS.
I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CLOTHES ON THE RACK TO TAKE ANOTHER PHOTO OF THE DAMAGED CEILING.
THERE'S A TWO BY FOUR IN THE ROOM PROVIDING SUPPORT TO THE CEILING JOIST.
THE ENTIRE ROOM, UH, THE FLOOR OF THE ENTIRE ROOM IS NOT VISIBLE DUE TO THE LARGE ACCUMULATION OF CLOTHES AND ITEMS ON THE FLOOR.
THIS WAS THE CONDITION OF THE FLOOR IN THE KITCHEN.
UH, THE SUBFLOOR WAS EXPOSED WHEN I VISITED IN MARCH OF 2025.
IT WAS COVERED IN DOG URINE ACCORDING TO MR. MALDONADO, AND IT DID SMELL OF URINE WHEN I ENTERED THE FLOOR, WAS VERY SPONGY TO WALK ACROSS.
IT WAS LATER COVERED WITH LINOLEUM, UH, BUT REMAINS SPONGY UNDERNEATH.
AS YOU WALK ACROSS IT, THE STRUCTURE, UH, IS SINKING TOWARDS THE REAR ELEVATION.
UH, THE SINK CABINET SHOWS THE MOVEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE BURNER THERE, YOU CAN SEE ON THE STOVE, WAS RUNNING, UH, WITH NO POT OVER THE TOP OF IT.
A SPANISH SPEAKING SAFE OFFICER, UH, PRESENT WITH ME THAT DAY, ASKED MR. MALDONADO FOR ME WHY IT WAS BURNING.
HE STATED IT WAS TO WARM THE HOUSE.
THE ONLY HEAT SUPPLY VISIBLE ON THIS DAY WAS THE STOVE BURNER THAT WAS RUNNING IN THE HEATER IN THE LIVING ROOM IN THE PREVIOUS PHOTO.
AS YOU WALK OUT OF THE KITCHEN TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE HOUSE, THE SUBFLOOR IS EXPOSED.
IT CONTAINED DOG FECES AND SMELLED OF URINE.
IT WAS ALSO SPONGY TO WALK ACROSS THE ROOM TO THE RIGHT.
UH, IS THE BEDROOM WHERE THE GRANDSON WAS STAYING AT ONE POINT.
AND THEN THE ROOM TO THE LEFT HERE IS GOING TO BE THE RESTROOM.
THIS IS THE ROOM THAT WAS ON THE RIGHT WHERE THE GRANDSON, UH, HAD BEEN STAYING ON A PREVIOUS VISIT.
I HAD PLACED A LEVEL IN THIS ROOM AND MEASURED THE FLOOR UNLEVEL, UM, SINKING TOWARDS THE, THE REAR ELEVATION, WHICH IS THAT WALL ON THE LEFT SIDE.
UM, WHEN I RETURNED, THE FLOORING HAD BEEN REMOVED.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THE POST FOR THE SILL BEAM IS ACTUALLY A CONCRETE DECK BLOCK.
UM, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE BEING SCABBED ONTO ONE ANOTHER.
AGAIN, THEY'RE NOTCHED OUT ON THE ENDS.
THIS IS A CONTEXTUAL PHOTO OF THAT ROOM, UH, THAT'S IN THE REAR ADDITION.
THERE IS NO PERMIT ON FILE FOR THE FOUNDATION REPAIR, NOR A MINOR BUILDING REPAIR IN THE CITY'S PERMIT DATABASE.
THERE'S NO ELECTRICITY SOURCE IN THIS ROOM.
ON THAT PREVIOUS VISIT, THIS WAS, LIKE I SAID, THE GRANDSON'S ROOM AND ELECTRICAL EXTENSION CORDS HAD BEEN RUN INTO THE ROOM TO PROVIDE ELECTRICITY.
THIS IS THE REAR EXIT THAT HAD BEEN BOARDED UP AT THE TIME OF THE PHOTO.
YOU CAN SEE NATURAL LIGHT AT THE TOP, UM, AND WATER DAMAGE ON THE CEILING DRYWALL.
AND THERE IS NO WALL COVERING TO THE LEFT OF THAT ROOM WITH THE FECES ON THE FLOOR WAS THE BATHROOM.
UM, THIS IS ALSO, LIKE I SAID, IN THE ADDITION THAT'S PULLING AWAY AND SINKING INTO THE GRADE.
[01:10:01]
SEE THE SEPARATION AT THE FLOOR BETWEEN THE TWO ROOMS. YOU CAN ALSO SEE NATURAL LIGHT COMING THROUGH THE AREA WHERE THE EXIT WAS BOARDED UP.THIS IS NATURAL LIGHT COMING INTO THE BATHROOM BETWEEN THE SHOWER AND THE TOILET FROM THE EXTERIOR WALL WHERE THE ADDITION IS SEPARATED.
THIS IS A CONTEXTUAL PHOTO THAT, UH, OF THAT AREA SHOWING THE AMOUNT OF DETERIORATION I HAD PLACED A LEVEL ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR TOWARDS THE DOOR.
YOU CAN SEE THE BUBBLE IS COMPLETELY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GLASS INDICATOR.
THE FLOOR, UH, TOWARD THE EXTERIOR WALL IS LOWER THAN THE INTERIOR TOWARDS THE ENTRY DOOR.
THIS PHOTO IS THE PHOTO, UH, IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
BEAR COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT INDICATES THE STRUCTURE IS 180 SQUARE FEET.
IT MEASURES AT 264 SQUARE FEET.
THE SIDING IS MISSING FROM THE FRONT ELEVATION AND THE ROOF DECKING IS DETERIORATED, DAMAGED AND FALLING FROM THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION, WHICH SHOWS THE MISSING SIDING.
WALL STUDS AND INTERIOR DRYWALL ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.
THERE'S SEVERAL HOLES IN THE ROOF AND WATER DAMAGED DECKING.
THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE IS EXPOSED ON THE RIGHT REAR ELEVATION.
THE WALL IS MISSING AND THE STRUCTURAL MEMBERS ARE WEATHERED.
THE FASCIA LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION.
THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THAT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THE FENCE AND THE LARGE ACCUMULATION OF OUTSIDE PLACEMENT IN THE REAR YARD PREVENTED ME FROM TAKING A MORE CONTEXTUAL PHOTO.
HERE YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THE MISSING WALL, UH, DAMAGED WALL STUDS AND MISSING SIDING.
AS YOU WALK INTO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE WATER DAMAGE DECKING AND THE NATURAL LIGHT COMING IN.
THE DECKING IS SEPARATED, ALLOWING THE ELEMENTS TO ENTER THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
I'M UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THOSE ARE RAFTERS OR TRUSSES.
UH, EITHER WAY, THEY ARE WATER DAMAGED AS WELL.
AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TOP PLATE IS ALSO WATER DAMAGED.
THIS IS LOOKING TO THE REAR OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WHERE YOU CAN SEE A LARGE AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHT COMING IN AT THE WALL AND THE ROOF WITH COLLAPSED INSULATION AND DRYWALL.
THE CENTER BEAM, UH, RIGHT THERE ACROSS THE TOP OF THE CEILING IS DAMAGED.
THE STRUCTURE AT TWO 15 RUMAN AVENUE HAS DETERIORATED FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITHOUT ANY PERMITTED WORK, PERMITTED ALTERATIONS.
BOTH HISTORICAL AND THOSE COMPLETED WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS HAVE CREATED UNSAFE STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS.
SIGNIFICANT SEPARATION OF WALLS, ALONG WITH HOLES IN BOTH THE WALLS AND THE FLOORS, HAS ALLOWED RODENTS AND OTHER PESTS TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE.
DURING THE SUMMER, MRS. MALDONADO REPORTED THAT ROACHES WERE CRAWLING ON HER AT NIGHT.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WEATHER HAS CAUSED ROT IN THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS.
THE FOUNDATION IS UNEVEN CONTRIBUTING TO THESE SEPARATIONS AND CREATING HAZARDOUS WALKING SURFACES FOR THE OCCUPANTS.
BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION LACKS PROPER ENGINEERING, IT POSES A RISK OF FALLING, FAILING TO SUPPORT THE LIVE AND DEAD LOADS IN THE STRUCTURE.
ADDITIONAL HAZARDS HAVE BEEN CREATED BY OCCUPANTS RUNNING EXTENSION CORDS TO SUPPLY ELECTRICITY TO HABITABLE ROOMS THAT HAVE NO POWER.
DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THESE UNSAFE CONDITIONS, A NOTICE TO VACATE WAS ISSUED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS.
DESPITE THE NOTICE, THE OCCUPANTS CONTINUE TO RESIDE IN THE STRUCTURE.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT TWO 15 RUMAN AVENUE, THE STRUCTURES, I'M SORRY, LOCATED AT TWO 15 RUMAN AVENUE, ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, AND 15 FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE AND SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 12, 15, AND 18 FOR THE ACCESSORY IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS THEREIN HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE.
[01:15:01]
OF DEFECT, 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 FOR TWO 15 RUMAN AVENUE.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER? YEAH, THIS IS FRED ANDES.
I'M GONNA, THERE ARE CERTAIN DATES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE.
THE DAUGHTER REFUSED ACCESS TO YOU.
WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? THE DAUGHTER REFUSED ACCESS FOR YOU TO ENTER THE HOME.
TEN SEVEN OHP IN BOLD LETTERS HERE.
UH, DESTRUCT, UH, DESTRUCTION REQUIRED, UH, CORRECT.
THE HOME IS OF AN AGE THAT IF IT WERE TO BE DEMOLISHED, THAT, UH, DECONSTRUCTION WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN FIRST.
NOT, NOT JUST DEMO, IT WOULD BE DECONSTRUCTION.
UM, NOTICE OF VACATE WAS SIGNED ON THE 20 10, 27 25, AND IT WAS ISSUED 10 29 25, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND WE ALREADY KNOW THEY GOT POWER.
'CAUSE WE SAW THE, THE GASES ON THE ELECTRIC'S ON MM-HMM
THE NOTICE OF VACATE WAS ISSUED.
DID YOU GET A HOLD OF CPS TO CUT SERVICES? I DID NOT.
THEY, IN THE NOTES THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PROPERTY TO, OR, OR ANOTHER PLACE TO RENT, IS THAT CORRECT? UH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS WERE.
MR. MALDONADO HAD SAID TO ME THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE THE PHYSICAL ABILITY OR THE, UM, MONETARY ABILITY TO REPAIR THE HOME.
UM, NHSD WILL SPEAK ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE TRIED TO HELP THEM WITH.
IT WAS, UH, RIGHT THERE AT THE VERY BEGINNING THAT WE PUT THEM ON AN EIGHT MONTH HARDSHIP.
AND, AND THERE IS PIECES IN HERE WHERE IT SAYS THE, THE THING CAME UP THAT THEY WERE LOOKING, ESPECIALLY AT SOME APARTMENT IN THERE.
UM, I GUESS THE QUESTION WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THIS, AN INDIVIDUAL IN A WHEELCHAIR.
YOU NOTED ALL OF THE EGRESS ISSUES, ESPECIALLY ONE BY THAT BED.
CAN THAT PERSON BE EVACUATED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME? IF THERE'S A FIRE TO GET OUT ONE OF THE EGRESSES OTHER THAN THE DOOR, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THAT WOULD BE A DIFFICULT SITUATION, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S BY A WINDOW.
AND I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S BY THE WINDOW TO TRY TO MOVE AN MM-HMM
INDIVIDUAL WITH A WHEELCHAIR OR WITHOUT THE WHEELCHAIR EVEN, HOW CLOSE IS THE NEAREST EGRESS OTHER THAN THAT WINDOW THAT'S BLOCKED TO THAT PERSON'S BED OR WHEELCHAIR? THE BED IS LOCATED IN THE FRONT ROOM, WHICH IS, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY 10 TO 12 FEET FROM THE FRONT ENTRY DOOR.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT ENTRY DOOR IS THE PORCH IS, UH, HEAVILY, UM, HAS A LOT OF, UH, OUTSIDE PLACEMENT AND A LOT OF RUBBISH.
HOW CLOSE WOULD BE THE NEXT PERSON TO ASSIST THE PERSON THAT WOULD BE IN THAT BED, THAT MEDICAL BED OR THE WHEELCHAIR? MR. MALDONADO IS SLEEPING IN THE VERY FIRST BEDROOM THAT WAS AT THE END OF THE COUCH.
UM, I'M, I'M NOT SURE WITH HIS DISABILITY THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO ASSIST HER EITHER.
UH, THE SECOND ROOM WAS BEING OCCUPIED BY A DAUGHTER, A SECOND ROOM TOWARDS THE REAR.
UM, AND THEN THE THIRD ROOM WAS BEING OCCUPIED BY THE GRANDSON, WHO IS AN ADULT ALSO.
SO YOUR QUESTION IS, I DON'T KNOW IF MR. MALDONADO WAS ABLE TO ASSIST HER OUT, UM, WELL, ANYBODY IN THE ROOM BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT BE WHERE SHE'S AT.
MS. ANDES, UH, THIS IS, UH, LEGAL.
THE DANGEROUS PREMISES INVESTIGATOR IS NOT QUALIFIED TO, UH, ADEQUATELY RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTIONS AS TO, UH, OKAY.
SO, UH, WHAT SHE CAN ADDRESS, UH, ARE, UH, QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE CONDITION OF THE STRUCTURE, THE OUTSIDE PLACEMENT, UH, BLOCKING POINTS OF EGRESS.
[01:20:01]
BUT, UH, SHE IS CERTAINLY NOT QUALIFIED TO ANSWER YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.WHAT I'M, I'M TRYING TO GET AT IS, IF YOU'RE IN THAT ROOM AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT THAT AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR EGRESSES, MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT WOULD BE WHO COULD GET TO THE PERSON TO MOVE THEM TO THE NEAREST EGRESS OTHER THAN THAT WINDOW? SO, AND SHE COULDN'T ANSWER, SHE CAN'T ANSWER THAT.
SHE'S NOT AN EXPERT, UH, IN THAT, UH, AREA.
AND SO IF, UH, THAT, YOUR QUESTION WOULD BE A JUDGMENT CALL MADE BY THE BOARD MEMBERS OKAY.
BASED ON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED.
SO THE NEAREST SECRET ADDRESS WOULD ACTUALLY BE THAT WINDOW CORRECT? THAT SHE'S THE BED'S IN FRONT OF HIM.
THE NEAREST WINDOW IS, UM, TO THE BED, HAS, UH, UH, SAFETY BAR VIOLATION.
THE IT HAS, UM, AND THE ONE FURTHEST FROM THAT THEN IS OPEN, DOES NOT HAVE SAFETY BARS ON IT.
SO THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE THE FRONT, THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE ACTUALLY THE FRONT DOOR THEN YEAH.
IF WE WERE LOOKING AT THE FRONT ELEVATION ON THE VERY FIRST, UM, PHOTO O WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IS IF THEY HAVE TO MOVE AN INDIVIDUAL EITHER BY THE WHEELCHAIR OR PUT 'EM IN THE WHEELCHAIR, WHAT WOULD BE THE NEAREST EGRESS WOULD BE THE FRONT DOOR.
SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION, WOULD BE, OKAY.
SO IT WOULD BE THE ACTUAL FRONT DOOR TO GET HER OUT IN AN EMERGENCY? CORRECT.
SO THAT'S YOUR FRONT DOOR RIGHT THERE.
IT, YEAH, THE PORCH, IT'S, UH, FACING THE PORCH.
AND THEY'VE BEEN ASSISTED THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS? ACCORDING TO THE NOTES, THEY, THEY, THEY WERE BEING ASSISTED BY NOT, UH, OHP, NOT THE OTHER ONE.
NHSD HAS MADE SEVERAL VISITS TO THEM.
UH, I'M AWARE THAT ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES HAS ATTEMPTED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AS WELL.
I SPOKE WITH OFFICER CONNOR ON A COUPLE OCCASIONS, AND THEY'RE STILL LIVING IN THE HOUSE, EVEN THOUGH ALL THIS IS STILL HAPPENING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU.
WE HAVE, UM, SEVERAL PEOPLE SIGNED UP.
I DON'T WANT TO CHOP UP YOUR LAST NAME.
MY NAME'S, UH, RIA RAMIRO WITH THE NHSD HOUSING ADVOCATE.
I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MS. GUADALUPE AND MR. LOSO MALDONADO SINCE WE RECEIVED A REFERRAL FROM DSD BACK IN MARCH OF 2025.
AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THEM SINCE THEN THROUGH, UH, I BELIEVE AS OF YESTERDAY, WE'VE BEEN OFFERING, UH, SERVICES, UH, DIRECTLY TO THEM.
WE'VE MADE SEVERAL HOME VISITS, UM, MY COLLEAGUES AND MYSELF ALONG WITH THE CODE OFFICER, MS. UH, SANTANA.
AND, UM, THEY HAVE, UM, I KNOW MS. GUADALUPE, WE'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH HER BY PHONE AND ALSO WITH THE HOME VISITS.
SHE HAS BEEN MAKING CONTACT WITH DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE NON-PROFIT.
BUT ACCORDING TO, UM, MS. GUADALUPE, THE FUNDING IS LIMITED.
SO, UM, AND HAD THEY BEEN REACHING OUT TO DIFFERENT AGENCIES, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, ACOG, UM, ME SAYS BLUEPRINT ESSAY REBUILT.
UM, AND I BELIEVE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, UH, I KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEHIND ON THEIR TAXES.
SO SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS REQUIRE THAT YOU, UH, BE CURRENT WITH YOUR TAXES ON PROPERTY.
SO THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAMS. OKAY.
AND AS OF YESTERDAY, MY OTHER COLLEAGUE DID SPEAK WITH MS. GUADALUPE ABOUT FOUR 40 OR SO LATE IN THE EVENING, AFTERNOON.
AND, UM, WE DID ALSO MAKE SOME REFERRALS FOR HER TO GO AND LOOK INTO OTHER, UH, PLACES FOR, UH, TO LIVE.
UH, I BELIEVE WE HAD REFERRED HER TO THE WHITLEY APARTMENTS, AND SHE DID GO.
UM, THAT'S WHAT SHE MENTIONED SHE ATTENDED, AND SHE WENT IN AND THEY DID OFFER HER A TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT.
AND BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVED FROM HER, SHE DID MENTION THAT THE APARTMENT WAS TOO SMALL FOR HER.
NO, SHE IS LIMITED ON INCOME, AND SHE IS ON A FIXED INCOME.
[01:25:01]
UM, AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HER ON TRYING TO FIND A PLACE.ANY QUESTIONS? AND WE CAN ALL AGREE.
WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT THIS IS NOT AN A DA HOME, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND THE APARTMENT SHE WAS LOOKING AT, IS THAT ONE OF THE ISSUES IS A DA THEY'RE, YES.
THEY'RE, THE WHITLEY APARTMENTS ARE SENIOR.
UH, THEY WORK WITH, UH, SENIORS SIX YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER.
SO THEY ARE ABLE TO, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE A DA APPROVED AND THEY'RE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE HER.
BUT I BELIEVE ACCORDING TO WHAT, WHAT MS. UH, MALDONADO, UH, THE TWO BEDROOM THAT WAS OFFERED HER, OFFERED TO HER, UM, SHE REFUSED.
SO ALL THE HELP THAT'S COME TO HER, SHE'S BASICALLY REFUSED IT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE PACKET YOU GAVE HER, IS IT THE SAME ONE THAT WE GOT IN OUR FULL BOARD MEETING? I BELIEVE SO.
WE'VE HAD, WE'VE YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
AND ALL THESE OTHER AGENCIES, DID YOU, YOU GUYS REACH OUT TO, THEY, SHE HAS TO DO MOST OF THE LEGWORK.
WE PROVIDE HER WITH THE, THE RESOURCES.
UM, WE, UH, FOLLOW UP WITH HER TO FIND OUT, DID YOU ALREADY REACH OUT TO A A B, C? WHICH DID YOU ALREADY REACH OUT? WE FOLLOW UP WITH HER.
AND, UM, SHE DID SAY THAT THE, MOST OF THE AGENCIES DID SAY THAT, UH, SHE HAD TO BE MEETING THOSE REQUIREMENTS, OR NO FUNDING WAS AVAILABLE, UH, BASED ON WHAT SHE PROVIDED TO US.
SO IT BASICALLY COMES DOWN TO THOSE CATCH 20 TWOS, YOU, MY TRUCK THAT WE COME INTO IT, IT BASICALLY COMES DOWN TO THE CATCH 20 TWOS, PRETTY MUCH.
AND THIS ONE IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED 'CAUSE OF DISABILITY, DISABILITY AND THE, THE, THE DELINQUENT TAXES.
AND NOW, JUST, JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU'VE DONE WITH THIS ONE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
UM, THERE'S ANOTHER, YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEAK.
UM, SO NEXT IS, UH, THE OWNER.
WE'RE GONNA TALK TO THE NEIGHBOR BEFORE THAT OWNER, UH, HIS NAME IS, UH, UH, MR. MALDONADO.
HE LIVES AT THE ADDRESS LISTED HERE, UH, AND HE WANTS TO SPEAK BEFORE YOU.
UM, HE FEELS THAT HE'S HERE TO PRESENT FOR YOU AND SPEAK, BUT HE WROTE SOME LETTERS, SOME, UH, WORDS THAT HE WANTS TO SHARE WITH YOU.
HE DOESN'T FEEL THAT, UH, THE DEMOLITION IS JUST, UH, IN HIS OPINION.
UH, HE'S WORKED, UH, IN CARPENTRY FOR MOST OF HIS LIFE, 57 YEARS.
UH, HE'S WORKED, UH, ALL HIS LIFE.
AND, UH, HE'S BEEN SELF-SUFFICIENT, UH, AND INDEPENDENT FOR ALL HIS YEARS.
HE, UH, HE USED TO, UH, DO HIS OWN BOOKKEEPING, AND
[01:30:01]
HE HIRED A BOOKKEEPER, MR. UH, FUENTES FUENTES, TO HELP HIM WITH THE BOOKKEEPING, UH, FOR HIS PROPERTY.HE WOULD, UH, SEND HIS TAXES EVERY THREE MONTHS, UH, DEPENDING ON WHAT HIS EARNINGS WERE, UH, TO THE GOVERNMENT OR THE MUNICIPALITY.
UH, BECAUSE OF NECESSITY, HE LEARNED HOW TO DO HIS OWN PLANS FOR HIS HOME, UH, AND THEN HOW TO SUBMIT THEM FOR, UH, THE DEPARTMENT.
UH, HE HAS, UH, HE DID BRING THOSE PLANS HERE AS PROOF, UH, IF NEEDED, AND HE'S WILLING TO PRESENT THEM BEFORE YOU.
THE, THE FIRES, UH, HE DOES HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH CONSTRUCTION, AND HE WANTS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE, THE ISSUES THAT HAVE, UH, BROUGHT UP BEFORE IN, IN, THROUGH THIS MEETING.
UH, THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THE CODE OFFICER TALKING TO HIM WAS ABOUT, UH, VEHICLES ON HIS PROPERTY, UH, THAT WERE NOT MOVING AND THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE MOVED.
UH, THE, THE CODE OFFICER GAVE HIM A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME TO, UH, BE ABLE TO BE, UH, MOVE THE CARS AND GET THEM UP INTO REPAIR STATUS SO THEY CAN BE MOVED.
AND HE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CODE OFFICER FOR THAT TIME.
HE WAS GIVEN SOME, UH, VEHICLES NEEDED, UH, BATTERY CHANGE.
OTHER ONES NEEDED JUST TO FIX A TIRE, SOME TIRES TO GET THEM MOVED.
UH, HE WOULD LIKE TO, AGAIN, THANK AND, UH, CONGRATULATE MS. SANTANA FOR ALL THE HELP THAT, UH, THEY'VE PROVIDED HIM.
UH, HE WORKED WITH HER AND THEN HE GOT THE VEHICLES UP AND RUNNING AGAIN, AND HE WAS ABLE TO MOVE THEM, AND HE WAS HAPPY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO DO SO.
UH, WITH TIME, SHE CAME BACK AND SHE EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO TO CLEAN HIS HOUSE, AND, UH, AND WHAT HE NEEDED TO ADDRESS.
UH, SHE PUT IT IN THE RECORD, UH, THAT, UH, HE, THE COURT OFFICER TOLD HIM THAT, UH, HE HAD FIXED THE CARS, AND THEN HE WAS, UH, STARTING TO ADDRESS ALL THE OTHER ISSUES, UH, WITHIN HIS HOME, AND HE WAS HAPPY TO ADDRESS THEM.
UH, SHE CAME BACK WITH, UH, A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND, UH, TO ONCE AGAIN TELL HIM THAT HE NEEDED TO, UH, CLEAN HIS PROPERTY AND, UH, CLEAN AROUND HIS HOME.
UH, HE WAS HAPPY TO DO SO, AND HE DID ADDRESS IT.
[01:35:18]
SHE THEN CAME BACK AND ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO ENTER THE HOME, UH, SO SHE CAN INSPECT IT.AND, UH, HE PROVIDED HER WITH THE ENTER HER, UH, HIS HOME.
THE HOME IS, UH, LONG 43 FEET.
AND, UM, AND THE 10 FEET, UH, WIDE, UM, THE, FROM THE BENCH TO THE YARD, HE SAYS THAT IN HIS OPINION, THE DIMENSIONS, UH, THAT WERE PROVIDED WERE WRONG, UH, MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT, UH, THE, THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT YOU COULD TAKE THE MEASUREMENT FROM, DEPENDING ON THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE HOME IN THE FRONT YARD.
HE BELIEVES THAT THE, THE, THE CITY IS AT FAULT, UH, FOR MEASURING CORRECTLY.
UM, THE, UH, THE CITY HAS THEIR OWN, UH, REGULATIONS, UH, THAT THEY, THEY GO BY, BUT IT IS NOT THE, UH, INHABITANTS' FAULT THAT THEY MEASURED INCORRECTLY.
UH, OFFICER SANTANA COMES IN AND, UH, ASKS PERMISSION TO ENTER THE HOME TO POINT OUT OTHER THINGS THAT ARE WRONG WITHIN THE HOME.
THE OFFICER SAID THAT THE, UM, THE HOME WAS MISSING SOME SQUARES, UM, TO ENTER THE HOME.
UH, AND IT'S, UH, IT, IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR EGRESS OR RESS FROM, FROM THE DOOR OF THE HOME, THAT IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR HIS WIFE WHO'S IN A WHEELCHAIR TO ENTER OR EXIT IT.
UH, THE OFFICER DID, UH, UH, MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE HOLE IN THE ROOF, UH, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PATCH IT UP, UH, TO AVOID, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING COMING IN FROM THE ROOF.
UH, THEY DID TELL HIM AS WELL ABOUT THE, UH, LEVELING ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE HOME, SPECIFICALLY IN THE BATHROOM, UH, THAT THERE ARE SOME LEVELING ISSUES COMING IN AND OUT, OUT OF THE BATHROOM.
[01:40:07]
UH, THEY, THEY DID MAKE THEM AWARE THAT THEY NEEDED TO FI FIX SOME JOINTS, UH, THROUGHOUT THE HOME, AND THAT OTHER SMALL, UH, ITEMS NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED.UH, AS SOON AS HE GOT A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK OF $989, HE BEGAN, UH, TO INVEST IN THE HOME AND TRYING TO GET IT UP AND, UH, AND REPAIR TO ADDRESS ALL THE ISSUES, UH, THAT HIGHLIGHTED.
UM, HE BEGAN TO WORK ON REPAIRING THE, THE FLOOR, UM, AS WELL AS BUYING TWO DOORS THAT, UH, TO FIX THE, THE DOORS THAT WERE, UH, THAT WERE SAID THAT THEY WERE, UH, YOU KNOW, BROKEN.
UH, HE, HE BOUGHT JOINTS FOR THE BATHROOM, UH, FOR THE LIVING ROOM AND FOR THE, UH, BEDROOM WHERE, UH, HIS DAUGHTER IS CURRENTLY RESIDING.
UH, HE ALSO BOUGHT PAINT TO PAINT, UH, THE HOME.
AND THEN HE HIRED A CONTRACTOR TO, UH, ASSIST HIM WITH, UH, WITH THE PAINTING AND, UH, FIXING THE OTHER PARTS OF THE HOME.
UH, HE MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE CONTRACTOR TO PAY HIM, UH, BY, UH, GIVING HIM, UH, HIS JEEP COMMANDER 2007 AS PAYMENT, AS FORM OF PAYMENT TO THE CONTRACTOR.
UH, THEN, UH, OFFICER SANTANA CAME OVER, UH, TO HIS HOME AND TOLD HIM TO STOP ALL WORK SO THAT, UH, THAT INSPECTOR COULD COME AND, UH, VALIDATE ALL HIS WORK.
UH, HE'S SAYING THAT, UH, AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE, THE, THE WORK HAS STOPPED AT THE ADVISEMENT FROM THE OFFICER.
SO IF THEY COME RIGHT NOW, NOTHING'S CHANGED BECAUSE HE HAS A STOP ORDER WAITING FOR THE INSPECTOR TO COME AND PERFORM HIS INSPECTION.
OF COURSE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOME RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS IN A REALLY BAD SHAPE, BECAUSE THE STOP ORDER STOPPED THE WORK FROM BEING DONE.
UH, MEANWHILE, HE HAD TO GO ON AN EMERGENCY TRIP TO MEXICO.
HE FOUND OUT THAT, UH, THE INSPECTOR SAN AND, UH, MS. SANTANA CAME OVER AND, UH, WITH VEHICLES FROM THE CITY, AND, UH, HE STOPPED THERE.
[01:45:16]
OKAY.UH, WHEN HE CAME BACK, HE FOUND OUT THAT, THAT, UH, THEY HAD TAKEN AN AIR CONDITION, UH, UNIT THAT WAS WORTH $350, AS WELL AS A, A WHEELCHAIR AND A, UH, LIKE A TRAILER, UH, THAT WERE ALL TAKEN.
UH, WHEN THINGS, THE, THE OFFICERS CAME, UH, THEY TOOK, UH, THEY ALSO TOOK AN OVEN WORTH $450.
AND, UH, AND OTHER, UH, VALUABLES FROM HIS HOME.
UH, MEANWHILE, HE WASN'T PRESENT.
UH, HIS, DURING THAT TIME, HIS WIFE WAS, UH, IN DIALYSIS, SO SHE WAS NOT AT HOME.
AND THEY ALSO SELL, UM, UH, ITEMS IN THE MARKET TO, UH, LIVE BY LATER, UH, OFFICER SANTANA COMES BY AND, UH, ASKS HIM TO SIGN SOME DOCUMENTS.
AND IT IS HIS BELIEF THAT HE SHOULD HAVE SIGNED THOSE DOCUMENTS PRIOR TO THEM TAKING ANYTHING FROM HIS HOME.
HE SIGNED BECAUSE HE WAS UNDER BELIEF THAT THEY WERE GONNA PROVIDE HIM WITH A PLACE TO LIVE, AND HE FEELS THAT HE WAS, UM, LIED TO, UH, WHEN THEY PROPOSED THAT IDEA TO HIM.
UH, WHEN HE BEGAN REPAIRING, UH, HIS LIVING ROOM AND HIS BEDROOM, UH, HE WANTED TO, OR, OR THE KITCHEN RATHER.
UH, HE WANTED TO CHANGE OUT THE, THE FRIDGE AND OTHER APPARATUS, ELECTRICAL APPARATUSES FROM HIS HOME.
UM, BUT HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO, UH, THE, THE WIRES THAT WERE EXPOSED OR THE, THE LINES THAT WERE EXPOSED IN THIS HOME WHEN THEY DID THE INSPECTION WERE TEMPORARY.
HE WA HE JUST HAD THEM PLACED IT THERE.
MEANWHILE, HE, HE CREATED HIS REPAIRS, OR HE, HE MAINTAINED HIS HOME, JOSE.
HE, HE UNDERSTANDS THAT HAVING THOSE WIRES ON THE FLOOR, UH, AND ON HIS HOME EXPOSED IT'S DANGEROUS, AND THAT, UH, HE HAS CLEANED THEM UP AND IS, UH, AND FIXED THEM AROUND HIS HOME.
LIKE HE SAID BEFORE, UH, HE, HE WAS TOLD THAT HE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, UH, AROUND HIS HOME UNTIL THE INSPECTOR COMES.
[01:50:04]
IT WAS, HE WAS UNDER THE BELIEF THAT, UH, THROUGH THE CODE OFFICER SANTANA AND THE INSPECTOR, THAT THEY HAD THE LAST WORD ON WHAT TO DO.THEY GAVE HIM, UH, WHAT SOUNDS LIKE TWO LISTS, UH, ONE OF 94 LIST OF THINGS THAT HE NEEDS TO DO, AND AN ADDITIONAL LIST OF ABOUT 20 THINGS THAT HE NEEDS TO DO AROUND HIS HOME TO GET IT UP, UH, UP TO CODE.
UH, HE HAS A LIST OF 43 THINGS OF, UH, THAT HE NEEDS TO FIX, THREE OF WHICH ARE HIGHLY IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO FIX, OR HIGHLY CRITICAL.
UH, THE FIXES IN THE, IN THE BATHROOM, UH, HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
THE, UH, THE LEVELING OF THE, UH, THE LIVING ROOM HAS ALSO BEEN COMPLETED.
UM, THE, THE BEDROOM, UH, LEVELING, UH, IS STILL PENDING, BUT HE HAD TO STOP BECAUSE OF THE STOP ORDER.
UH, HE, HE PLEADS WITH, UH, YOU AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THAT, UH, HE'S GIVEN MORE TIME.
HIS WIFE, UH, HE'S COM HE'S JUST, UH, UH, ON HIS 73RD BIRTHDAY, AND HIS WIFE, UH, JUST, UM, CELEBRATED HER 65TH.
THE, THE IN LOS IS IN, UH, HE PLEADS WITH THE BOARD TO PLEASE ALLOW HIM TO STAY IN HIS HOME IF HE HAS TO MAKE THE DECISION OF LIVING UNDER THE BRIDGE OR LIVING IN HIS HOME.
HE PREFERS LIVING IN HIS HOME.
UH, HIS WIFE IS RECEIVING DIALYSIS THREE TIMES A DAY.
SHE CAN'T, UH, SHE'S NOT INDEPENDENT.
SHE CAN'T MOVE ON HIS OWN, AND SHE CAN'T GO TO BED ON HER OWN.
UH, AND HIM, UH, SENIOR MALDONADO, OR MR. MALDONADO HAS ALSO, UH, SUFFERS FROM DIABETES.
HE'S HAD SOME VEIN WORK, UH, ON, ON HIS, UH, ON HIS ARMS. AND, UH, YES, UH, HE ALSO SUFFERS FROM HIGH, UH, HIGH, HIGH TENSION, HIGH PRESSURE.
UH, HE'S HAD TO GO MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES.
[01:55:17]
UH, HE, I, HE ALSO UNDERSTANDS THAT THE CODE OFFICER SANTANA IS DOING HER JOB, AND, UH, BUT HE ALSO FEELS THAT HE, SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND, UH, CONSTRUCTION AND, UH, ESPECIALLY, UH, AROUND THE AREA OF THE CHOICES THAT HE'S HAD TO FIX AROUND HIS HOME.UH, HE QUESTIONS ALL OF THE, UH, ERRORS IN THE CHOICES, FOR EXAMPLE, BECAUSE, UH, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW SHE WOULD KNOW THAT, UH, IF THE JO ARE COVERED BY SHEET ROCK ON TOP AND OR ON THE BOTTOM AND THE ROOF ON TOP.
UH, ALL OF THE, ALL OF THE JO AND OTHER PARTS OF THE ROOF HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF FEMA IN BACK IN 2003.
HE'S WORKED ON REPAIRING ALL OF THE SHEET ROCK AND INSULATION THROUGHOUT THE HOME.
UH, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK THAT HAVE BEEN, HAS, HAS WORKED ON, IN THE ROOF, UH, IN REPAIRING DIFFERENT PIPES.
AND, UH, THAT'S WHY THE HOLES IN THE, IN THE ROOF CURRENTLY EXIST.
UH, HE WANTS TO COVER THEM UP WITH A MIXTURE OF CEMENT AND OTHER PARTS AROUND THE HOME AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS PLUGGED UP.
THERE ARE NO CURRENT LINES BROKEN IN AROUND THE HOME.
UH, HE'S REPAIRED EVERYTHING IN THE FRONT AND THE BACK, AND, UH, ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AS OF RIGHT NOW.
UH, ANYTHING ELSE THAT HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED HAS HASN'T BEEN REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THE STOP ORDER.
AGAIN, HE STATES THAT THE OFFICER IS DOING HER JOB AND HE THINKS HER FOR A JOB, BUT SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE BOTH VERY ILL.
NO EXISTING, UH, THERE ARE NO, UH, CHOICES THAT ARE ROTTEN.
THERE ARE NO HOLES, UH, IN THE HOME, UH, CURRENTLY.
UM, UH, THERE ARE NO OTHER REMAINING BIG ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE HOME, UM, THAT HAVE HASN'T BEEN FIXED PRIOR TO THE WORK ORDER, THE STOP WORK ORDER,
[02:00:01]
IF THERE WAS A CLEANUP THAT OCCURRED PRIOR TO HER APPROACHING HIM, UH, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS DONE CORRECTLY.ONCE AGAIN, HE WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT THE, THAT THE OFFICER, UH, FOR, FOR ASSISTING HIM, AND HE WOULD WISHES HER THE BEST INTENTIONS IN LONG LIFE WITH HIS FAMILY, HER FAMILY.
ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
CAN YOU ASK HIM? I'VE GOT SEVERAL, NOT TO EMBARRASS HER OR ANYTHING, BUT THERE'S, UH, I KNOW ONE, MAYBE TWO INSTANCES WHERE THE CODE OFFICER SAW HER IN THE CAR WHEN SHE'S TALKING TO HER, BUT I READ IN HERE THAT SHE CAN'T MOVE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE.
IS THAT CORRECT? UH, HIS GRANDSON HELPS HER, UH, HIS WIFE MOVE AROUND.
HE, UM, HE MOVES HER ALL OVER THE PLACE, YOU KNOW, TAKES HER TO THE, TO THE CAR, OR FROM THE CAR, OR MOVES HER TO THE BED OR FROM, FROM EVERYWHERE ELSE.
THE INSTANCE IS STATED IN HERE THAT EVERYBODY ELSE WAS SLEEPING IN THE HOUSE, AND SHE WAS IN THE CAR BY HERSELF.
CAN YOU CLARIFY? SHE, TO ME, SO TO HIM, THE OFFICER OR THE, IF EVERYBODY, IF THE OFFICER APPROACHES, THE CODE OFFICER APPROACHES AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE CAR, IF EVERYBODY'S IN THE HOUSE ASLEEP, HOW DID SHE GET IN THE CAR BY IF SHE CAN'T MOVE? OKAY.
UH, LA UM, I, I, WELL, IT GOES TO THE, NO, IT'S, IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF HER ABILITY TO MOVE OR NOT, LET'S KEEP IT TO THE HOUSE.
WELL, IT IS BECAUSE YOU, IF IT STATES IN THE STATEMENT HERE IT OUT THAT THE GRANDSON HAS TO MOVE HER, IN FACT, YES.
MR. ANDES, UH, REMEMBER THE BOARD'S JOB IS TO ASK QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE CONDITION OF THE TRUCK.
YOUR EARLY, YOUR QUESTION ASKED TO ABILITY TO MOVE AND, OR, UH, ABILITY TO EXIT THE PROPERTY, UH, HAS BEEN ANSWERED.
I WOULD RECOMMEND MOVING ON TO QUESTIONS, IF ANY, REGARDING THE CONDITION OF THE STRUCTURE.
HER GRANDSON MOVES HER FROM INSIDE, CARRIES HER TO A WHEELCHAIR OUTSIDE.
UH, I UNDERSTAND MR. ANDES, BUT AGAIN, UH, I REMIND THE BOARD, UH, THE ISSUE BEFORE YOU IS THE CONDITION OF THE STRUCTURE, UH, NOTHING ELSE.
SO, UH, HER BEING IN THE CAR OR HOW SHE GOT THERE IS, UH, NOT RELEVANT TO THE ISSUE OF WHETHER THIS STRUCTURE, UH, IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED, AND OR IF THE BOARD FEELS IT PRESENTS A DANGER, UH, TO, UH, PERSONS INSIDE AS WELL AS OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY.
HE HAS NOT PULLED ANY PERMITS.
W WITH ALL THE OTHER CONSTRUCTION BEFORE HE WAS NOTIFIED, YOU CAN'T WORK NO MORE.
THERE WAS NO PERMITS PULLED, NO ACCOUNTING PERMIT.
SO, SO ALL THE WORK HE'S DONE HAS BEEN, EVEN HIS REPAIRS BEFORE THEY TOLD HIM TO STOP HAS BEEN DONE BY HIMSELF? CORRECT.
[02:05:40]
OKAY.TRANSL, UH, HE'S SAYING, UH, YES, HE DID HIRE SOME HELP.
UH, AND WHICH IS WHAT HE STATED IN HIS LETTER, UH, THAT HE PAID WITH, OR HE IS GONNA PAY WITH THE JEEP, UH, THE 2007 JEEP.
BUT HE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT, UM, ANY ARCHITECTURE REQUIREMENTS, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE HE, HE FALLS UNDER BECAUSE OF REGULATIONS FROM THE CITY THAT HAVE CHANGED FROM 800 FEET, REQUIRING AN ARCHITECTURE REQUIREMENT TO 1000, UH, 1000 FEET.
SO HE, HE'S NOT DOING ANY RENOVATIONS OR IN, IN ANY OF THAT KIND.
SO HE DOESN'T BELIEVE HE NEEDS ANY OF THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? LEMME JUST ASK, UM, WHAT'S THE PLAN TO GO FORWARD WITH THE HOUSE? UH, THE WORK.
IF YOU COME UP WITH A, A, I MEAN, JUST RESTATE THAT.
UH, HE WANTS TO BE GIVEN MORE TIME, AND THEN HE WANTS TO FOLLOW WITH THE RULES OF THAT, THAT THE BOARD SAYS ON HIM.
DOES HE HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR HOW MUCH THE REPAIRS WILL COST? NO, NOTHING HE DOES NOT.
AND THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR THOSE REPAIRS.
IS THERE ANYTHING MORE THAN JUST THE, THE JEEP THAT HE HAS THAT IF HE'S GONNA BARTER REPAIRS, UH, AS HE, AS HE GETS FUNDS FROM THE CHECKS THAT HE RECEIVES, UH, HE PLANS TO ADMINISTER THE MONEY AND TO, TO REPAIR THE HOME.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MADAM CHAIR, WE HAVE SPEAKERS.
SO WE DO HAVE A LONG LIST OF SPEAKERS.
UM, GUADALUPE MAN WAS SIGNED UP.
DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK? TAKE HER, TAKE HER THE MICROPHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A LONG LISTS.
CAN WE KEEP IT SIMPLY TO THE REPAIRS? YES.
SHE'S GONNA GIVE HER, OH YEAH, SHE'S GONNA BRING MY PHONE.
SHE HAS ARTHRITIS SO IT'S HARD FOR HER TO PRESS.
GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
MY NAME IS GUADALUPE MAL, AND, AND I LIVE AT, LIVE ON 2 1 5 ROMAN AVENUE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, 7 8 2 0 8.
I, UH, I CAME BECAUSE OFFICER SANTANA SAID A LOT OF THINGS, BUT IT SEEMS THAT WHEN SHE SAID ALL THAT, THE DAY SHE CAME TO CLEAN, I WAS
[02:10:01]
ON MY WAY OUT TO DIALYSIS.AND, UM, I TOLD HER NOT TO TAKE A TUB OF STUFF 'CAUSE I BUY, AND I USED TO BUY AND SELL AT THE FLEA MARKET.
I TOLD HER, DON'T TAKE MY POWER CHAIR.
DON'T TAKE THE AIR CONDITIONER AND CHAIRS THAT WERE ON THE PORCH THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TRASH.
AND I FEEL THAT THAT WAS WRONG, BECAUSE THAT WAS MY THINGS THAT I SELL.
ANYWAYS, SHE TOOK THEM AND I NEVER GOT BACK.
UH, I FEEL THAT, UH, I'VE BEEN ASKING HER WHEN SHE CALLS ME ALL THE TIME.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE.
I SAID, DO YOU WANT ME TO LIVE ON THE STREETS? I CAN'T DO THAT IN MY CONDITION.
THEY OFFERED ME A PLACE AT THE SHELTER, BUT I COULDN'T TAKE IT BECAUSE I NEED MY DAUGHTER THAT TAKES CARE OF ME AND MY GRANDSON AT THE SHELTER.
I ASKED THE LADY I WOULD NEED SOMEBODY TO MOVE ME AROUND.
SHE SAID, WE DON'T HAVE NOBODY LIKE THAT.
WHY DON'T YOU OFFER A PLACE TO SLEEP? I SAID, OKAY, THANK YOU.
AND AT THE PLACE WHERE THE LADY SAID THAT I, I DIDN'T ACCEPT THOUGH EVERYTHING THEY OFFER, I, I DON'T, I, I DENY, UM, THAT PLACE.
IT DIDN'T HAVE HANDICAPPED ACCESS.
SHE SAID, CALL ME BACK OR KEEP CALLING.
THAT'S WHY I CAN'T ACCEPT WHAT THEY TAKE.
SO, JUST TO CLARIFY, UM, YOU DISPUTE THAT YOU DID NOT DENY THE APARTMENT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T WANT IT, BUT BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE HA HANDICAP ACCESS? YES.
AND BECAUSE YOU NEED ROOM FOR YOUR CAREGIVERS, YOUR FULL-TIME PERIOD? WELL, MOSTLY BECAUSE IF I GO TO THE PARTY, THERE'S NO HAND GRAB TO GRAB TO GET UP OR TO TRY TO GET UP.
'CAUSE EVER SINCE AMPUTATED LAST YEAR IN AUGUST, UM, I CAN'T STAND UP.
THEY REHAB IS, SHOWED ME HOW TO GET UP, BUT THIS LEG IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH YET.
THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS DOING THE PROSTHESIS.
AND THEY'RE GONNA SHOW ME IF I CAN WALK.
I'M SO GLAD IF I CAN, I THANK GOD IF I CAN BECAUSE I'VE BEEN PRAYING AND PRAYING NOT TO GO.
THAT'S WHERE WE THROW ON THE STREET.
I CAN'T, CAN'T LIVE ON THE STREETS.
I'VE SEEN PEOPLE LIKE THAT IN MY CONDITION AND IT'S NOT GOOD.
AND I'M A VERY COLD-HEARTED PERSON.
I DON'T THINK I COULD LAST A WEEK OUT THERE.
I DON'T THINK YOU SAID THAT RIGHT, MOM? WHY? COLD HEARTED? I MEAN, OH, WELL, I DON'T THINK SHE SAID THAT RIGHT.
SHE, YES, BUT IN MY HOUSE, IN MY HOUSE, COLD, EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY NEEDS REPAIRS, IT'S NOT CONSTRUCTION, REMODELED NOTHING LIKE THAT.
SO WHEN THEY, WHEN THEY REPAIR MY HOUSE, MY HUSBAND, I WANNA BE LIVING GOOD.
AND RIGHT NOW I'VE BEEN LIVING WELL OVER 40 YEARS.
IT WASN'T, IT HASN'T BEEN THAT BAD JUST FOR A WHILE NOW.
BUT I MEAN, MY HUSBAND HAS IT WARM IN THERE FOR ME AND EVERYTHING.
SO I JUST NEED FOR SOMEBODY TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO REPAIR THE HOUSE.
I TOLD HIM, I SAID WE COULD GET A LOAN MAYBE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN OFFERED A LOT OF LOANS, BUT I ALWAYS TELL HIM, NO, NO, BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA OWE NO MONEY.
BUT IN THIS CASE, I'D RATHER OWE THAT MONEY TO FIX MY HOUSE AND PAID IN PAYMENTS, YOU KNOW? 'CAUSE I COULD AFFORD THAT A LITTLE AT A TIME YET.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA ADD? NO, I JUST WANTED TO SAY TOO, THAT, UH, THAT MY HUSBAND, HE'S, HE DOESN'T DO NO MORE WORK.
BUT I MEAN, HE CAN'T DO HEAVY WORK.
HE'S GOT A HEART CONDITION TOO, BUT HE CAN'T DO IT HIMSELF.
BUT HE'S GOT HIS BROTHER THAT WORKS NOW, THE
[02:15:01]
SAME THING, HIS NEPHEWS AND ALL THAT.THEY TOLD HIM ALREADY THAT WHEN HE'S READY AND GETS ALL THE MATERIAL, THEY'LL HELP HIM.
HE'S GOT PART OF THE MATERIAL.
HE JUST SAID HE NEEDS A LITTLE MORE AND HE'LL CALL THEM.
BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT UNTIL SEE ON THE PERMIT.
WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT AT FIRST.
I WAS TOLD BY THE, I CALLED LEGAL AID, ASKED THEM, BUT THEY SAID, ONLY WHEN YOU'RE GONNA REMODEL AND ALL THAT.
OR CONSTRUCTION, BUT NOT FOR REPAIRS.
SO THAT'S WHY WE DIDN'T GO SEE NOTHING.
WE, WE JUST FOUND THAT OUT FROM MS. SANTANA.
ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? LEMME ASK YOU THIS.
YOU ARE ON DIALYSIS THREE TIMES A DAY.
YOU'RE, YOU'VE GOT SOMEBODY IN THE HOUSE WITH YOU 24 7, CORRECT? YES.
I'M, I'M THERE TUESDAY, TUESDAY, THURSDAY AND SATURDAY DIALYSIS.
TODAY I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THERE, BUT I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM I WASN'T GONNA GO.
AND THE NURSE SAID, IT'S REALLY BAD FOR YOU NOT TO LOSE YOUR DATES.
I SAID, I KNOW, BUT I GOTTA GO SEE ABOUT MY HOUSE.
THE CONCERN WE HAVE OR I HAVE IS YOUR SAFETY.
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS, WHEN YOU ASK MY HUSBAND, HOW DID THEY GET ME OUT? MM-HMM
IT'S JUST LIKE, THROW ME OUT THE DOOR, LIKE FROM HERE TO WHERE SHE IS, THE DOOR.
HE JUST HITS ME IN THE, AND HE'LL SIT ME FAST.
HE TRIED IT THE OTHER DAY, LET ME TRY AND MOVE YOU.
WELL, SO YOU SEE YOU'RE GONNA BE SAFE.
'CAUSE I'M ALWAYS SCARED AT EVERYTHING.
HE SAT ME AND PUT ME OUT AND THEN HE CAME BACK IN TO SEE ABOUT ZU AND MY DAUGHTER WAS ALREADY GETTING IT.
OUR CONCERN IS YOUR SAFETY POINT OF ORDER AS MUCH AS ANYTHING ELSE.
THE ISSUE BEFORE US IS THE STRUCTURE ITSELF, AND WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS, BUT WE NEED TO WORK ON THE STRUCTURE AND INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP US UNDERSTAND THE CONDITION OF THE STRUCTURE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE STRUCTURE.
UM, OUR NEXT SPEAKER WILL BE ROSE HILL.
ALSO, I'D LIKE TO GIVE MY TIME FROM, UH, MS. BOVA.
UH, GOOD AFTERNOON, COMMISSIONERS.
I'M PRESIDENT OF GOVERNMENT HILL LIVES NEIGHBOR ASSOCIATION.
UH, JUST A LITTLE BIT REAL QUICKLY ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO.
WE'RE VERY ACTIVE NEIGHBOR ASSOCIATION.
UM, THIS IS NOT OUR FIRST RODEO.
UH, WE WERE JUST RECENTLY GONNA HAVE A CLEANUP IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN JANUARY, BUT WE HAD TO CANCEL DUE TO THE WEATHER.
UM, OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO GO AROUND AND WE HELP THOSE IN NEED.
UM, WE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE LIKE THIS BEFORE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, AND WE CAME IN AND WE HELPED THEM.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY SINCE FEBRUARY, UH, WE HAVE NOT HAD A CODE OFFICER COME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION EVERY MONTH.
WE HAVE THAT, THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.
I KNOW WE WERE SHORT, UH, A CODE, UH, OFFICER.
AND I KNOW THAT THE OFFICERS DO A GOOD JOB IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP, OPEN RELATIONSHIP WITH COMMUNICATION.
BUT I THINK SOMEWHERE HERE, THE COMMUNICATION GOT DROPPED.
IF WE HAD KNOWN THIS WAS HAPPENING, WE WOULD'VE IMMEDIATELY COME IN TO HELP.
BECAUSE WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE IS THAT YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT'S ELDERLY, THEY'RE SICK.
UH, THEY DON'T HAVE THE NA LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF RESOURCES, WHERE TO GO, WHO TO CONTACT, HOW THE CITY OPERATES, WHAT THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE, WHAT THE CODES ARE.
UM, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 40 YEARS HERE AT THE CITY.
I'M A CIVIL RIGHTS, UH, ACT GRASSROOTS LEADER IN THE, IN MY COMMUNITY.
AND I'M ALSO, UH, OVER ALL THE PRESIDENTS AND DISTRICT TOO.
AND WE ALL TRY COMMUNICATE AND WE ALL TRY TO WORK WITH THE CODE OFFICERS HERE.
WHAT I SEE IS HAPPENING IS, UM, THEY, YES, SIR, THERE WAS A LOT OF TRASH IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE HADN'T GOT TO THAT AREA BECAUSE WAY THEY WERE VERY IN THE, IN THE BACK.
SO, UH, MY APOLOGIES, WE HADN'T GOT TO THAT AREA.
BUT IF WE HAD KNOWN AND HAD THAT COMMUNICATION OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE, WE WOULD'VE ALREADY HAD THEM WITH AN ENGINEER.
WE WOULD'VE ALREADY CONTACTED.
WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR JB CONSTRUCTIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
WE WOULD'VE REACHED OUT TO THEM, UH, TO SAY, THESE PEOPLE NEED SOME HELP.
UM, WHAT I THINK WHAT WE'RE, I'M HERE TODAY IS ASKING FOR THEM TO GIVE, NOT DEMOLISH THE HOUSE, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT HOUSE IS NOT DEMOLITION.
WE HAVE WORSE HOUSES IN, UH, GOVERNMENT HILL RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE 8 0 2 MASON STREET THAT'S IN WORSE CONDITION THAN THEIRS IS IN.
WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE THE CITY COME IN, THEY'RE DOING FOUNDATION WORK ON 8 0 2.
YOU CAN GO BACK AND RESEARCH THAT ONE.
[02:20:01]
UH, RAISED IN GOVERNMENT.HILL HAD THAT HOUSE WITH A BRAND NEW ROOF PUT ON THERE.
RIGHT NOW, THOSE TWO PEOPLE HAD BEEN MOVED OUT SO THEY COULD DO THE REPAIRS.
UH, THE DAUGHTER, UH, ONE OF THE, UH, LADIES IS BLIND.
THE OTHER GENTLEMAN IS, HAS, HAS PROBLEMS WOR WALKING.
UH, MY MAIN CONCERN HERE IS, YES, I SEE THAT THERE IS SOME SEVERE NEED AND SOME SEVERE CONCERN THERE, BUT YOU HAVE PEOPLE HERE THAT, THAT DON'T WANNA LEAVE, LEAVE THEIR HOME.
BUT I THINK IF WE COULD COME IN, GET GRANTING US, THE ASSOCIATION, THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND DO, FINISH UP THE CLEANUP AND COME IN, BRING IN, TRY TO, UH, HAVE, GET A MEETING TOGETHER.
WE HAVE A MEETING ACTUALLY TUESDAY, COME IN AND BE ABLE TO SAY WITH THE ENGINEERS OR SOMEBODY, WHAT CAN WE DO TO COME IN AND HELP THESE PEOPLE? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE ASSOCIATION IS, THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S WHAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS.
AND YOU HAVE TWO SENIORS HERE THAT, EXCUSE ME, THAT, UM, MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM.
UM, IF MY MOTHER IS 105 YEARS OLD AND SHE'S STILL ALIVE, GOD BLESS HER.
AND SO I'M ASKING THAT YOU, UH, NOT DEMOLITION THIS HOUSE THAT YOU GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN THERE.
WHAT WE DO, WE HAVE A REPUTATION OF GETTING IN AND HELPING AND GETTING THE JOB DONE.
SO I'M NOT HERE TO TELL YOU, ASKING YOU SAYING, GIVE US, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE WANNA COME IN AND HELP.
IF YOU GIVE US THAT OPPORTUNITY AND GIVE US, I WANNA, I CAN TELL YOU IT'S NOT GONNA BE 30 DAYS, AT LEAST 90 DAYS TO GET, GET US IN THERE TO REALLY GET SOMEBODY TO REALLY COME IN AND EVALUATE.
AS I'M HEARING TODAY, I DIDN'T SEE AN ENGINEER REPORT.
I DIDN'T SEE AN ELECTRICAL REPORT FROM THE CITY.
I DIDN'T SEE, UM, A ROOF, UH, ESTIMATE OF ROOFS.
UH, YOU ASKED THE HIM, WHAT IS THE COST GONNA BE? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK WE NEED TO GO BACK AND DO AN ANALYSIS OF THE WALK, THE ENTIRE PERIMETER, PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY.
GET A THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF WHAT IS EXACTLY GONNA BE NEEDED, GET INSIDE RIGHT AWAY AND CLEAN THAT HOUSE UP AND HELP THEM SO SHE CAN HAVE, UH, CAL ACOG TO FIX THAT, THAT, UH, RAMP TO GET IT FIXED.
THERE'S A LOT OF RESOURCES OUT THERE.
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHO TO TALK TO.
THEY, I, I COMMEND THE LADY THAT WAS TRYING TO HELP.
UH, BUT I THINK STILL LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND THEIR AGE, THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU CAN, YOU CAN TELL THEM TILL THEY'RE BLUE IN THE FACE, BUT THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
SO I'M ASKING THIS TO HAVE SOME COMPASSION TODAY, UH, TO NOT DEMOLITION THAT HOUSE.
IF WE DO NOT, CANNOT COME IN AND FULFILL WITHIN SAY, 90 DAYS, COME BACK WITH AN ACTUAL REPORT OF WHAT WE'VE COME UP WITH AND WHO WE'VE CONTACTED, THEN I COULD SAY LET'S DEMOLITION IT.
BUT RIGHT NOW I SAY NOT, DON'T TAKE AWAY THEIR HOME.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO FIX THIS AND GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY.
WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM A LONG TIME, AND I, THEY HAVE DONE SOME GREAT WORK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'VE WORKED WITH SANTANA IN THE PAST.
SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS THAT, UM, I JUST, LIKE I SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHY, UM, WE WEREN'T CONTACTED BECAUSE THEY HAVE, THEY, AND THIS HAPPENED SINCE FEBRUARY.
SO WE'RE WORKING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS DILIGENTLY TO CONSTANTLY HAVE HELPING OUR SENIORS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO, LIKE I SAID, I KNOW THAT THEY GOT A LOT OF WORK AND UM, GOD BLESS 'EM.
BUT I THINK HERE IS THAT WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER CODE, UH, AND US AND THE COMMUNITY.
JB CONSTRUCTION IS RIGHT DOWN.
THERES GREEN STREET, IF I CALL THEM AND THEY COME BACK AND I'M SURE THAT THEY'RE WILLING, BE WILLING TO HELP, UH, DO SOMETHING.
BUT RIGHT NOW, ASKING YOU TO GIMME AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN WITH RESOURCES, UH, EVALUATIONS AND WORK WITH CODE TO WHAT WE CAN DO TO PRESERVE THIS HOUSE AND HELP THESE PEOPLE.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE OWE THEM.
THEY ARE THE FOUNDATION OF OUR COMMUNITY.
THEY WERE THERE BEFORE
AND, UM, THESE PEOPLE WERE THEIR WAY BEFORE ME, MAYBE BEFORE I WAS EVEN DIAPERS.
BUT I THINK IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP OUR SENIORS.
UH, AND RIGHT NOW THEY NEED HELP.
SO I'M ASKING YOU TO SINCERELY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, UH, WHAT WE CAN DO.
UM, I SPEAK BY MY REPUTATION, UM, BECAUSE I'VE DONE THIS BEFORE.
AND YOU KNOW, TWO, EXCUSE ME, YOU KNOW, TWO MASON STREET IS A GOOD THING THAT WHAT WE DID, THE SAME SITUATION CAME HERE, WE CAME TO THE CITY, ASKED THEM FOR HELP.
THAT HOUSE IS EVEN WORSE CONDITION BECAUSE THE SECOND THE HOUSE IS LITERALLY FALLING OUT.
WHAT WE DID, WE MOVED THEM OUT.
THERE'S A CONTAINER IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE, AND THEN WE MOVED ALL THEIR FURNITURE IN THERE.
SO NOW, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THE FOUNDATION.
THE ROOF HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE.
SO I ASK YOU, PLEASE, UH, TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
DOES YOUR ASSOCIATION HAVE THE ABILITY TO CLEAR THE TAX LIABILITY? NO, WE DO NOT.
WE CAN, WE CAN DEFINITELY, IF WE HAVE TO HAVE A FUNDRAISER TO HELP THEM SOME WAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT, I DON'T, DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE BAD.
[02:25:01]
KIND OF FUNDS.WE DON'T, AS FAR AS MONEY'S CONCERNED, WE CANNOT COME IN AND, UH, GUARANTEE THAT WE'RE GONNA COME IN TO FIX ALL THEIR PROPERTIES WITH MONEY.
BUT WHAT WE DO HAVE IS WE HAVE RESOURCES AND WE HAVE CONTACTS, AND WE CAN CONTACT SOMEBODY THAT CAN COME IN AND SAY, UM, WE, YOU KNOW, WOULD THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY BE WILLING TO COME IN AND DONATE SOME MATERIALS? AND THEY KNOW THEY'RE REGISTERED WITH THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO.
THEY KNOW THE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND THEY KNOW WHETHER THEY CAN DO OR THEY CAN'T.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL WE CAN APPROACH THEM WITH GIVING THEM THE PERMISSION AND THE TIME TO COME IN AND DO IT.
DO YOU HAVE CASH AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY OR DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE FUNDRAISER, UH, IMMEDIATELY TO, WE DON'T HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE ANY CASH.
OUR ORGANIZATION IS NOT TO COME IN.
OUR, OUR OUR MEMBERSHIP IS BASED ON OUR ON, ON MEMBERSHIP DUES.
SO WE DON'T HAVE THE FOUNDATION OR THE, THE FINANCIAL ASPECTS TO COME IN AND HELP THEM FIX THAT HOUSE.
BUT WHAT WE DO HAVE IS WE HAVE KNOWLEDGE, WE HAVE COMMUNICATION, WE HAVE, WE KNOW WHO TO GO TO AND WHO TO TALK TO, TO COME IN AND BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HEARD THIS.
HAD, WE HAD, HAD MORE TIME BACK IN FEBRUARY, I GUARANTEE YOU BY NOW, THEY WOULD BE HA THEY WOULD'VE HAD THEIR HOUSE LEVELED.
THEY WOULD'VE HAD, THEY WOULD'VE HAD A CLEANUP.
WE CAN, WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN GO IN THERE RIGHT OF WAY AND FINISH CLEANING UP.
ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP.
EVERYTHING YOU SAW THERE WITHIN 30 DAYS, I, THAT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU WE CAN GO OUT THERE AND DO, BECAUSE WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE AND YOU CAN ASK THE CODE.
WE CAME IN AND WE CLEANED UP A HOUSE THAT A PERSON THAT WAS LIVING THERE WAS A HOARDER, COMPLETELY HOARDER.
AND WE, WE, WE PROVIDED THE, THE, THE, UH, DONATIONS FAR AS GETTING THE TRAILER, GETTING OUT THERE, DOING THE CLEANUP.
SO VOLUNTEERS, UH, ORGANIZING, I'M GOOD AT THAT.
'CAUSE WE NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND IF, IF, IF WORSE CAME TO WORSE, WE COULD PLAN A FUNDRAISER.
BUT TO IMMEDIATELY SAY, NO, WE HAVE FUNDS ON HAND.
'CAUSE WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ABOUT LAST WEEK WHEN WE GOT THE NOTIFICATION FROM THE CITY.
DO I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE AN ENGINEER AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY TO DO EVALUATION? I DON'T HAVE ONE.
NO, I DON'T HAVE ONE IMMEDIATELY.
'CAUSE WE DO, WE HAVE WORKED WITH ENGINEERS IN OUR, WITHIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE HAVE SOME ENGINEERS THAT LIVE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
I I CAN'T, I CAN'T PROMISE SOMETHING.
ALL WE'RE ASKING IS FOR TIME, UM, A LITTLE CONSIDERATION BECAUSE WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS.
HAD WE KNOWN MORE, I WOULD'VE, I WOULD'VE BEEN MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE HAD, UH, AN ENGINEER REPORT FOR YOU SIR.
AND, UH, BEEN ABLE TO SAY, YES, WE CAN DO THIS.
AND THE OTHER, ALL I'M ASKING YOU IS THAT THIS IS A, THIS, OUR ORGANIZATION, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION IS VERY WELL KNOWN IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR HELPING AND GETTING JO THE JOB DONE.
AND ALL I'M ASKING FOR YOU IS HAVE A LITTLE CONSIDERATION FOR THESE PEOPLE.
GIVE US SOME TIME TO GET IN THERE.
WE HAVE NOT GONE INSIDE THE HOUSE.
I USED TO HAVE A, A REMODELING BUSINESS.
I, I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE, BUT I, WHAT I DO KNOW IS I CAN SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP THEM.
SO I WANNA THANK Y'ALL VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
UM, THE NEXT SPEAKER IS DAVID, AND I'M SORRY, I'M HAVING TROUBLE READING THE LAST NAME.
UM, THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, MADAM CHAIR.
UH, THE LIVESTREAM HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED.
AND SO I WOULD RECOMMEND TAKING A PAUSE UNTIL THAT IS RESOLVED SO WE CAN COMPLY WITH OUR OBLIGATIONS, UH, IN CONDUCTING A OPEN MEETING.
UM, THE TIME IS 12:09 PM WE'RE GONNA TAKE A SHORT RECESS UNTIL WE CAN GET THE INTERNET BACK UP.
IT IS 12:15 PM AND WE ARE RESUMING, UH, OUR SESSION.
WE ARE STILL ON 2 1 5 ENROLLMENT AVENUE.
THE, UH, NEXT SPEAKER IS ROBERT.
I'M SORRY, I DON'T WANNA MESS UP YOUR LAST NAME.
YEAH, IT'S, UH, ROBERT MCAFEE.
UH, SO YEAH, GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.
AND IF YOU CAN PLEASE, UH, STATE YOUR NAME AND THE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT THAT YOU LIVE IN.
ALRIGHT, SO, UM, YEAH, MY NAME'S, UH, UH, ROBERT MCAFEE.
UH, I BELIEVE I'M, UH, COUNCIL 10, IS THAT RIGHT? UH, UP NORTH, UH, OF BEAR COUNTY.
AND, UM, I'M ACTUALLY THE OWNER OF TWO 11 ROLLMAN.
UM, AND I'VE HAD THAT PROPERTY SINCE ABOUT 2015.
UH, SO I'VE HAD ABOUT A GOOD 10 YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD.
UH, SO I'M ADVOCATING KIND OF FOR TWO THINGS TODAY.
UH, NUMBER ONE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW MR. MALDONADO A LITTLE BIT.
WE'VE TALKED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I'VE BEEN OUT THERE, UH, BOTH IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
SO WE'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH.
[02:30:01]
KIND OF ASSESSED THE SITUATION OUT THERE ACROSS THESE 10 YEARS.AND, UM, I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS GOING ON.
WELL, NUMBER ONE, YOU KNOW, I HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH MY GRANDFATHER.
HE LIVED IN HIS HOUSE TILL HE WAS 84.
UH, WHEN HIS WIFE, WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER PASSED AWAY, UH, HE WAS UNABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSE ON HIS OWN.
AND IT JUST STARTED GETTING A LITTLE BIT WORSE AND WORSE.
AND THAT DIDN'T GET THIS BAD, OBVIOUSLY, BUT WE CAME IN AND WE GOT HIM OUT OF THERE.
SO I THINK NUMBER ONE, THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN HERE.
IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT EVEN IN HIS OWN WORDS, BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY, THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO KEEP THIS GOING, YOU KNOW, AND I KNEW HIM 10 YEARS AGO, SO I'VE SEEN IT SLOWLY DECLINE YEAR UPON YEAR, DAY UPON DAY.
SO, UM, SO NUMBER ONE, I THINK THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN TERMS OF THE PROPERTY.
UH, I AM ADVOCATING FOR IT TO BE DEMOLISHED.
UM, YOU KNOW, I'M A LICENSED H-H-V-A-C TECHNICIAN.
I'VE SEEN THE PROPERTY MYSELF, I'VE LAID EYES ON IT.
OF COURSE, I HAVE TO DO MAINTENANCE ON MY PROPERTY.
UH, AND IT'S BEEN GETTING WORSE EVERY SINGLE YEAR, UH, IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THAT NEW STRUCTURE HAS POPPED UP.
UH, AND IT'S EXPANDED, OR I GUESS, I GUESS IT WAS A SHED.
NOW IT'S A HOUSE, A SECOND HOUSE BEHIND THE HOUSE.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GETTING SOME OF THE COMMENTARY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HEY, MY OTHER OPTIONS ARE TOO SMALL.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, HALF DOZEN PEOPLE LIVING THERE OR MORE.
UM, AND SO THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
UM, SO KIND OF MOVING FORWARD HERE, UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT A, JUST A RECENT MISFORTUNE.
IT'S BEEN A CHRONIC YEARS LONG SITUATION.
UM, THERE'S BEEN SOME ISSUES OUT THERE.
UM, YOU KNOW, UM, I REMEMBER HE HAD A BOAT STOLEN OUT OF HIS FRONT YARD.
UH, SO THERE'S BEEN SOME CRIME.
I THINK THERE WAS A, UH, INDIGENOUS PERSON FOUND ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS ACROSS THE ROAD, UH, DEAD.
UM, THE WHOLE EASEMENT'S COVERED IN TRASH.
UH, BOTH HIS AND OTHERS, UH, ILLEGAL DUMPING IS GOING ON BACK THERE ALL THE TIME.
UH, SO IT, IT REALLY IS A, A HUGE PROBLEM SPOT FOR THAT AREA.
UH, IT WAS, IT WAS ZONED INDUSTRIAL FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND.
YOU KNOW, I, I, I'M, I'M KIND OF REALLY CONFLICTED.
I WAS CONFLICTED ABOUT EVEN COMING HERE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S HIS PROPERTY.
I BELIEVE PEOPLE'S PROPERTY RIGHTS.
IT'S THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S THE AREA.
YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S A TOUGH THING.
IT'S A TOUGH SITUATION, AND I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.
BUT THE, THE PROPERTY IS IN A VERY BAD WAY.
IT'S BEEN EXPANDED A FEW TIMES ON HIS OWN, AND HE'S NOT ABLE TO DO IT ANYMORE.
YOU KNOW, AND IT'S, UH, IT SEEMS BRUTAL TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I'M SAYING YES, TAKE THEM OUT OF THEIR HOME FOR 30 SOMETHING YEARS, BUT AT SOME POINT IT IS, IS MORE CRUEL NOT TO.
AND, UH, I BELIEVE WE REACHED THAT POINT HERE, BOTH IN THE STRUCTURE AND IN THE FAMILY.
SO, UH, THAT'S WHAT I'M ADVOCATING FOR TODAY.
THANK Y'ALL FOR LETTING ME KIND OF BUMP UP HERE.
UM, GUADALUPE MALANO? NO, UH, BIG GRANDDAUGHTER.
THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO STRETCH.
AND CAN YOU AGAIN STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT? MY, MY NAME IS GUDO AND MY CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT IS 10.
UM, I'M HERE THIS MORNING TO SPEAK ON, SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY PARENTS.
I'M THE, UM, THE DAUGHTER'S OWNER OR THE OWNER'S DAUGHTER.
MY PARENTS ARE ELDERLY AND I, AND I KNOW THAT THEY NEED HELP, SO I JUST WANT TO ASK FOR SOME TIME TO THINK, TO GET THINGS UP TO CITY CODE.
THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD ARE MY PARENTS AND MY SON, WHO IS MY MOM'S PROVIDER.
UM, AND HE'S THERE 24 7 WITH HER.
UM, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT NEIGHBORS ASSOCIATION UNTIL JUST NOW, AND WHAT I'M ASKING IS TO PLEASE ALLOW US TO WORK WITH THE NEIGHBORS ASSOCIATION TO GET, BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE DON'T, AND RESOURCES THAT WE DON'T.
UM, AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH OF YOUR, OF YOUR TIME.
UM, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE? SURE.
DANGEROUS PREMISES OFFICER CYNTHIA SANTANA.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANTED TO CLARIFY, UH, FOR THE BOARD IF I COULD.
UM, WHEN I FIRST CAME ACROSS THIS PROPERTY, I WAS A CODE OFFICER, AND, UH, THERE HAD BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE AMOUNT OF RUBBISH AND OUTSIDE PLACEMENT IN THE PROPERTY.
UH, A CITATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ISSUED.
[02:35:01]
UM, WHEN I CAME, THE PROPERTY STILL WASN'T CLEANED, AND I ISSUED ANOTHER CITATION TO MR. MALDONADO.UH, HE DID NOT, UH, APPEAR IN COURT, UM, FOR EITHER OF THE CITATIONS.
AND AT THAT POINT, THE CITY CREATED, I CREATED A WORK ORDER FOR THE CITY TO HAVE THE PROPERTY ABATED.
WE ABATED THAT PROPERTY IN FEBRUARY, I BELIEVE, ON THE 19TH.
UM, THIS FOR YOU, THAT ABATEMENT RAN, UH, $1,956.
IT WASN'T MUCH LONGER AFTER THAT.
IT, UM, WELL, ONCE WE GOT THE PROPERTY ABATED, THAT'S WHEN I SAW THE CONDITION OF THE HOUSE.
I COULD SEE IT MORE CLEARLY BECAUSE WE HAD CLEANED ALL THE ITEMS THAT WERE STACKED UP AROUND THE YARD AND AROUND THE HOUSE.
UH, AND THAT'S WHERE THE DANGEROUS PREMISE CASE BEGAN.
UH, IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THAT THAT THE PROPERTY BEGAN TO GATHER RUBBISH AND EGRESS ISSUES AGAIN.
UM, THEY HAD TWO TREES IN THE FRONT YARD THAT WERE POSING A THREAT TO THE STRUCTURE AND TO THE OCCUPANTS.
UH, AT THAT POINT, WE, UM, WE WENT TO THE SENIOR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND WE GOT SOME MONEY TO TAKE THE TREES DOWN FOR THEM.
BOTH THOSE CITATIONS WERE $300.
UM, SO, UM, WHEN HE SAYS THAT WE TOOK THINGS, I JUST WANNA EXPLAIN, THE CITY HAD TO ABATE THE PROPERTY TO GET IT CLEANED UP.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT AGAIN AFTER, UM, HAVING CLEANED THE PROPERTY ALREADY.
UM, AS SOON AS WE GOT IN THERE, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT, UH, THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH DISABILITY, AN ISSUE WITH ELDERLY, AND THAT'S WHY WE IMMEDIATELY SIGNED THEM UP FOR THE HARDSHIP.
AND DURING THAT EIGHT MONTH PERIOD, NO WORK WAS DONE ON THE HOUSE, AND THE PROPERTY BEGAN TO BE, UH, LITTERED AGAIN WITH OUTSIDE PLACEMENT AND RUBBISH.
UM, IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE CASE WAS, UH, SUBMITTED FOR BSB THAT, UH, MR. MALDONADO, UH, WANTED TO TRY TO GET THINGS TAKEN CARE OF, UH, AROUND THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THE WORK THAT HE DID, I JUST WANNA REMIND THE BOARD.
UM, THERE WERE NO PERMITS PULLED FOR, UM, THERE WAS NO STOP WORK ORDER AND THERE'S NO INSPECTOR, UM, NO PERMIT WAS EVER PULLED.
SO NO INSPECTOR IS COMING TO INSPECT ANYTHING.
I, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE CONFUSION WITH THAT ISSUE.
UH, WE ISSUED A NOTICE TO VACATE AND FOR GOOD REASON, UM, THE SAFETY AND THE, THE, THE HAZARDS THAT ARE PRESENTED TO THE OCCUPANTS, UM, WE'VE ASKED THEM TO PLEASE LEAVE.
UM, BECAUSE OF MS. MALDONADO'S, UM, MEDICAL CONDITION, WE DID NOT CUT THE UTILITIES.
WHEN I DEALT WITH ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES, I DEALT WITH OFFICER CONNOR, AND SHE STATED THAT THEY HAVE HELPED THEM GET RESOURCES SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THEIR UTILITIES PAID.
UM, THEY ALSO HELPED THEM GET SOME FEMA FUNDS THAT MR. MALDONADO REFERRED TO.
UM, MS. GUADALUPE TOLD, UH, OFFICER CONNOR THAT MR. MALDONADO TOOK THE FUNDS FROM FEMA, UH, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE USED TO REPAIR THAT BATHROOM, AND HE WENT AND REPAIRED SOME OTHER HOME.
UM, WE HAVE, UH, DONE WHAT WE COULD TO TRY TO GET THEM INTO ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THROUGH OPERATION REBUILD, UH, UNDER ONE ROOF.
AND BECAUSE OF THE TAXES, UH, WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SECURE THEM ANY ASSISTANCE.
WHEN I CAME WITH A WARRANT ON JANUARY 14TH, THAT WARRANT, UH, NOBODY WAS HOME.
UH, BUT THAT WARRANT WAS ONLY FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THE ONLY TIME WE'VE EVER BEEN IN THE HOME IS WHEN, UM, THE OWNERS WERE PRESENT.
SO I JUST WANNA ASK ABOUT THE, THE, THE NOTICE TO VACATE.
THAT WAS BACK ON OCTOBER 29TH.
UH, WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP HERE? IF, IF THE, THE OCCUPANTS DON'T VACATE? THE, THE, UM, FOR US
[02:40:01]
IS TO BRING THE, THE CASE TO YOU, AND THEN THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE FROM THERE WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP.UM, CAN YOU REFRESH MY MEMORY AND THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HARDSHIP, WHEN YOU PLACE 'EM ON HARDSHIP, WHAT THAT MEANS? WE STOP ALL, UM, WE STOP ALL ENFORCEMENT AT THAT POINT.
UM, WE LOOK FOR ASSISTANCE FOR THEM.
UM, WE INVOLVE NHSD, UH, TO ALSO LOOK FOR ASSISTANCE FOR THEM.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE LOOKED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND EACH TIME THEY DID NOT QUALIFY AND HOLD, UH, UM, THAT IS SPECIFIC TIME, RIGHT? IT'S NOT INDEFINITE, IT'S EIGHT MONTHS.
AND DURING THAT EIGHT MONTH PERIOD, LIKE I STATED, UH, NO WORK WAS DONE.
CAN THAT BE, WELL, I GUESS I WOULD BE ASKING STAFF, CAN THAT BE DONE AGAIN OR IS IT A ONE TIME OFFER? UH, IT, IT HAS NOT MY, BEEN, MY EXPERIENCE THAT WE DO IT AGAIN, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'VE ALREADY ISSUED A NOTICE TO VACATE.
MADAM CHAIR, CAN I JUST CLARIFY? THIS IS MELISSA RAMIREZ, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, WHERE IT'S A NINE MONTH, UH, TIMEFRAME.
I'M JUST REFRESHING MY MEMORY AND GIVING PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT, IT, BECAUSE THE DILEMMA WE HAVE, IT, IT CAN ONLY GO ONE TIME PER CASE OR IS, UH, THE, UH, WAY THE CODE IS WRITTEN IS, UH, ONE TIME HARDSHIP PROVISION FOR A MAXIMUM OF NINE MONTHS.
UH, AND, UH, LIMITED TO SPECIFIC CATEGORIES OF UH, PERSONS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
I'M GOING TO MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, UH, 2 0 1 1 RUMAN, UH, IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX ARTICLE.
YEAH, TAKE A MULLIGAN ON THAT ONE.
UH, I MOVED AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT UH, 2 1 5 ROLLMAN AVENUE IS THE PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, UH, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME, AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MAIN 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, AND 15.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORY 1, 2, 8, 12 AND 15 AND 18.
I THOUGHT I GOT THAT IN THERE.
UH, THAT THE, UM, THE PROPERTY BE DEMOED WITHIN 30 DAYS THAT IT BE VACATED.
THE UTILITIES BE CUT AND THE PROPERTY BE SECURED.
I SECOND THE MOTION, SO I'M JUST GONNA REPEAT THIS.

YOU CAN SEE HOW THE TILES FELL OFF, AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE TILE'S DETACHING.
AND THERE'S NO BARRIER BETWEEN THE SINK AND THE, UM, THE FLOORING.
UH, THIS PHOTO IS A RIGHT REAR BEDROOM.
THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE DRYWALL AND CEILING RUNNING THROUGH, SHOWING FROM THE FOUNDATION DAMAGE.
THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE SAME ROOM SHOWING THE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DRYWALL AND ON THE CEILING.
DRYWALL, UH, THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE REAR LEFT BEDROOM.
MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE DRYWALL ROTTED WINDOW FRAMING AND WINDOW GLAZING ARE PRESENT.
ELECTRICAL WIRES ARE EXPOSED BY THE CEILING.
OKAY, THIS IS THE SAME ROOM CLOSEUP OF THE DAMAGED DRYWALL.
THERE'S A PIPE COMING INTO THE ROOM OF THE EXTERIOR, AND THAT IS NOT CAPPED.
SO THIS RIGHT HERE IS OUR FIRST ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THAT'S A WOODEN SHED WITH A GABLE ROOF SYSTEM.
THE WOODEN SIDING IS DETERIORATED AND LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
THE GABLE METAL ROOF SYSTEM IS RUSTED.
THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SITS ON GRADE.
UH, THIS IS THE FRONT RIGHT ELEVATION, UH, SHOWING DETERIORATED WOOD IN SIDING, ALSO LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
ON THIS SIDE, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE BOARDS HAVE DETACHED.
UH, THE FACIA BOARDS ARE MISSING ON ONE SIDE, AND THE, UH, STRUCTURE IS UNSECURED FROM THE TOP AREA OF THAT DOOR.
THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION SHOWING A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE MIDDLE ROOF SYSTEM THAT IS RUSTED AND DETERIORATED.
AND THIS IS THE INTERIOR OF THAT ACCESSORY.
NUMBER ONE, THE DRYWALL CEILING HAVE COLLAPSED EXPOSING THE WOODEN MEMBERS.
THE DRY WAS ALSO, UM, SEPARATED AT THE FRAME.
TRASH AND DEBRIS ARE SCATTERED IN THIS ROOM.
UH, THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE ROOF SYSTEM.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE CEILING JOIST.
YOU COULD ALSO SEE THE SEPARATION OF THE DRYWALL.
AND AT THE TOP PLATE, UH, THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE ACCESSORY LEADS TO THE THIRD, I MEAN TO THE SECOND ACCESSORY, UH, STRUCTURE.
UH, THIS STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF A FLAT MIDDLE ROOF SYSTEM, UH, WITH DETERIORATED WITH THE SIDING.
UH, THE FRONT IS COVERED WITH SOME KIND OF TARP, UM, TO KEEP IT FROM EXPOSING WHATEVER'S INSIDE.
UH, WHEN I OPENED THE TARP, UM, I FOUND THERE TO BE A, UH, HOUSELESS FEMALE AND HER, HER ANIMAL, HER DOG.
UH, THEY BOTH LEFT, UH, PEACEFULLY AND THEY KNEW THAT THEY WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE, BUT SHE SAID IT WAS COLD AND SHE NEEDED SHELTER.
THE NEXT PHOTO SHOWS THE LEFT SIDE ELEVATION, UH, DETERIORATED SIDING.
UM, AND ALSO, UH, THE, THE STRUCTURES LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION ON THIS SIDE.
I COULDN'T GET A GOOD PICTURE OF IT DUE TO THE ANGLE IN THE CLOSEST OF THE FENCE.
UH, THE SAME ISSUES, UH, THE, THE, UH, WOOD SIDING IS DETERIORATED AND ROTTED, ALSO LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION.
[03:00:01]
IS ROTTED, ALSO BROKEN AT THAT TOP RIGHT CORNER.UH, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE FROM THE INTERIOR PAST THAT TARP.
UH, ONCE I REMOVED THE TARP, UM, ALL THE WOODEN MEMBERS EXPOSED.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THE GRAY TRASH AND DEBRIS ARE IN THERE, AND THAT ONE'S LACKING WEATHER PROTECTION AS WELL.
AND THIS IS JUST A CLOSEUP OF THE METAL ROOF SYSTEM FROM THE INTERIOR.
LOOKING UP, YOU CAN SEE THE WINTER FRAMING AND THE JOISTER COMPLETELY ROTTED.
UH, TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT 1906 TEXAS AVENUE ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT CHAPTERS ONE DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
SUBSECTIONS FOR NUMBER ONE, ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND SUBSECTIONS FOR ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO ARE 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS, HEREINAFTER, ARE DESCRIBED TO BE DEEMED AND IMPOSE A DANGEROUS BUILDING OR A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILATATION, SUBSTANDARD OR UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE, A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1906 TEXAS AVENUE.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT OFFICER? YOU, UH, THIS READ YOU STATED EARLIER THERE WAS ABATEMENT.
DO YOU HAVE A COST, A COST ON THAT WAS AND HOW MANY TIMES OR IS THAT A TOTAL OF ALL? OKAY, SO THE FIRST ABATEMENT WAS $1,000 AND 66, AND THE COST OF THE SECOND ABATEMENT WAS $778.
UM, BOTH TOTALING THE COST FOR BOTH THE PAYMENTS TOTALING $1,844.
SO AS OF TODAY, UH, NO, THAT'S IT.
WHAT WAS THE SECOND ONE? UH, 7 7 8 770 $8.
UM, AND ALL THE, UH, ELECTRICITY AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SHUT OFF, POWER, GAS AND ALL THAT.
RIGHT? UH, I THINK YOU MENTIONED THAT IN THERE.
I KNOW THAT ONE OF THEM WAS DIS UH, WATER WAS TURNED OFF ON APRIL 28, 25.
AND YOU SAID ELECTRIC AND THE GAS METER IN THE FRONT DIDN'T, IT'S NO METER THERE.
THE FOUNDATION IN HERE, IT'S NOT PERMITTED OR WAS IT PERMITTED AND THEN FIRE? IT WASN'T PERMITTED.
SO THEY JUST DID THE FOUNDATION WORK WITHOUT PERMIT? THEY, THEY GOT THE, THE PERMIT I THINK AFTERWARDS, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, LEMME CHECK MY NOTES.
FOUNDATION IS BEING REPAIRED WITH NO PERMITS.
AND YOU RECOMMENDED, YOU RECOMMENDED ON THE 28, 26 25 THAT THEY PULL PERMITS TO DO THAT? YEAH, I TALKED ABOUT THE PERMITS IN THERE THAT, UH, MAKE SURE THAT THE WORKER, THAT THEY, THAT IS DONE AND THEY ARE PERMITTED IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT THAT SAYS.
NOW, THERE'S A PERMIT, UH, ON IT OR NO, FOR THE FOUNDATION? I BELIEVE SO.
I BELIEVE THERE IS A PERMIT NOW CURRENT ACTIVE.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY PERMIT THAT'S BEEN PULLED.
SO WHAT DIDN'T HAVE PERMITS WAS A DEMO FOR THE, THE REAR, THE REAR OF THE MAIN END, WHICH IS THE DEBRIS THAT WAS ON THAT ONE PICTURE.
THAT WAS THE DEBRIS THAT WAS OFF OF THE HOUSE.
THAT WAS ALL CONNECTED TO THE HOUSE.
NO PERMIT, NO PERMITS FOR THAT.
AND THE DEBRIS WAS STILL THERE? OR IS IT GONE? IT WAS THERE WHEN I WAS THERE.
UH, MOST OF IT WAS GONE, BUT YOU STILL SEE LIKE A LOT OF REMNANTS FROM IT, SO IT WASN'T COMPLETELY GONE.
SO THE TWO SHEDS ARE STILL THERE, LEFT AND THE REST OF THE HOUSE? YES, SIR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, CAN YOU PULL UP THE MAP ON THE, ON THE, ON THE LOT THAT HAD, THAT SHOWS THE TWO ACCESSORIES IN THE MAIN.
[03:05:03]
SO BOTH OF THOSE ACCESSORIES ARE STILL STANDING OR THE, THE TWO ACCESSORIES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THESE DEMO ORDERS ARE ACTUALLY ONE OF THOSE ACCESSORIES.IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN SPLIT INTO TWO.
IS THAT RIGHT? WELL, HALF OF THE MAIN IN THE BACK, LIKE WHERE THE N IS TO THE, TO THE CENTER, THAT AREA WAS DEMOLISHED.
AND THEN WE STILL HAVE THE TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.
SO THEY'RE RIGHT IN LINE WITH EACH OTHER.
SO THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCURATE.
SO THERE'S YOUR ACCESSORY ONE TO THE RIGHT AND RIGHT BEHIND IT IS ACCESSORY TWO, WHICH IS THAT SMALLER FOR THAT LIKE BLACK SHEET OR PLASTIC, WHATEVER IT WAS VINYL.
SO WHAT WAS DEMOLISHED WAS SOME OF THE MAIN, SOME OF THE REAR OF THE MAIN.
THAT'S, WE SAW THAT WOOD DEBRIS FOR THAT MAIN.
SO IT JUST, THE, THE PLOT DIAGRAM THAT WAS ORIGINALLY WITH OUR PACKAGE, THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
THIS IS MORE ACCURATE REPRESENTATION.
HAS A COPY OF THIS UPDATED ONE BEEN PROVIDED TO THE BOARD? UH, DON'T BELIEVE SO.
THEY HAVE THE ONE THAT, UM, PRESENTED ON THE SCREEN.
IF YOU COULD, UM, IF THE BOARD NEEDS TO SEE THE PHYSICAL COPY, BUT, UH, A COPY OF THIS, UH, HAS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECORD.
SO YOU'RE AMENDING THE NEW COPY, IS WHAT YOU'RE BASICALLY DOING HERE? YES.
YOU'RE AMENDING IT WITH THIS NEW VERSION? CORRECT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
UM, I BELIEVE THE OWNER'S HERE, UH, EVA GUTIERREZ, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND THE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT YOU LIVE IN.
HI, MY NAME IS EVA MARIE GUTIERREZ AND I INCURRED THE PROPERTY IN APRIL, WHERE LEGALLY MY NAME IS ON THERE.
BUT BEFORE, I HAD BEEN TAKING CARE OF THAT HOUSE SINCE 2018 WHEN MY AUNT PASSED AWAY.
AND UH, BUT UH, WE HAD THE, THE FOUNDATION LIFTED, SO THAT'S WHY THERE WAS NO SKIRT BECAUSE THEY HAD TO GO UNDER THERE AND STUFF.
AND THEY HAVEN'T PUT THE SKIRT BACK ON BECAUSE THE INSPECTOR HAS TO COME OUT AND THE ENGINEER HAS TO COME OUT AND GIVE THE CLEAR THAT IT IS DONE AND CORRECT AND STUFF.
SO NOW WITH THE LIFTING OF THE HOUSE, THAT'S WHY YOU SEE ALL THE, THE CRACKS.
AND THEN, UH, CASA VERDE CAME TO THE HOUSE LAST WEEK AND THEY SAID THAT THEY, BECAUSE OF MY DISABILITY, MY INCOME, THAT THEY COULD HELP ME.
AND HE SAYS THEY WOULD DO FIRST THE ROOF, THEN THEY WOULD DO THE, THE WIRING OF THE HOUSE.
'CAUSE IT'S THE ORIGINAL WIRING FROM 1942.
AND THEN THEY IN TURN WOULD DO THE REDOING THE SHEET ROCK.
AND THEY WOULD, UM, PUT THE INSULATION ON THE, ONCE THE ROOF IS DONE ON THE TOP BETWEEN THE WALLS AND UNDER THE HOUSE.
AND THEN THEY WOULD DO, WHAT WAS IT? THE WIRING, THE INSULATION, THE ROOFING AND THE TIN WINDOWS I QUALIFIED FOR.
SO THEY SAID, I'M IN THE LIST AND STUFF.
AND THAT'S AS FAR AS I KNOW, THAT'S AS FAR AS I HAVE.
AND ON THAT SECOND STRUCTURE, THAT USED TO BE A, LIKE A GARAGE, BUT MY GRANDMOTHER WOULD USE IT FOR HER PLANTS.
AND THE STRUCTURE BEHIND IT, IT'S ATTACHED IT'S WALL TO WALL.
THAT USED TO BE HER CHICKEN COOP.
AND THAT WAS BACK FROM THE SIXTIES, SO THAT'S NOT SOMETHING NEW.
BUT THEY DID CATCH A HOMELESS WITH THEIR DOG BACK THERE.
THIS DOCUMENT BEING PRESENTED, IS THIS FROM WHO? FROM THE CITY THAT IS THE,
[03:10:01]
THE PERMIT OR THE FOUNDATION.WHERE WAS IT? SO YOU JUST PULLED THIS PERMIT? YES.
AND THE FOUNDATION WORK WAS ALREADY DONE? NO.
WHAT HAPPENED? THE GENTLEMAN DOING THE FOUNDATION SAID HE WAS GONNA GO UNDER THE HOUSE TO CLEAR ALL THE DEBRIS ON THE THERE.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE, WHEN THE CO COMPLIANCE LADY CALLED ME AND SHE WANTED TO SEE THE HOUSE, I SAID, I'M NOT THERE.
I'M AT A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT, BUT GO AHEAD AND GO IN.
SHE SAYS, I SEE SOME GUYS, UM, UNDER THE HOUSE.
AND I SAID, YES, THEY'RE, UH, CLEANING OUT THE DEBRIS, BUT YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
THEY WERE THERE AND THE PERMIT WASN'T.
UM, SO THEY ACT UNTIL JANUARY THE SECOND, BECAUSE Y'ALL HAD LIKE THE HOLIDAYS THAT WE ALL WERE CLOSED.
SO THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T DO WORK.
SO NO DIGGING AND JUST REMOVE DEBRIS AND THE SIDING AND ALL THAT.
JUST THE, JUST, WE HAD A FLOOD, LIKE THE, THE SEWER LINE THAT RUNS BETWEEN THE ALLEY HAD BUSTED AND IT WAS ALL RUNNING THROUGH THE HOUSE, UNDER THE HOUSE AND STUFF LIKE, UM, LIKE THIS MUCH WATER AND YEAH, IT WAS NASTY.
SO IT DREW LIKE A BUNCH OF TRASH UNDER THERE BECAUSE I KEPT FIGURING HOW CAN ALL THIS TRASH GET UNDER THE HOUSE? BUT THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
SO THE FOUNDATION, THEY'RE JUST WAITING ON THE ENGINEER TO COME OUT AND DO THE FINAL ENGINEER'S REPORT? YEAH.
AND YOU SAID WHO WAS GOING TO HELP YOU? CAS VERTE.
DID THEY GIVE YOU ANY DOCUMENTATION? WELL, ALL HE GAVE ME WAS LIKE A PAPER.
UH, IT'S IN THAT PACKET, UH, PAPER SAYING THE, WHICH COMPANIES WOULD HELP ME.
UH, SOMETHING CALLED, UH, BLUEPRINT, UH, THE LADY BARBARA CALLED ME AND SAID, YES, YOUR, YOUR APPLICATION IS IN.
SO NOBODY'S GONNA HELP YOU YET UNTIL THE APPLICATION'S APPROVED, CORRECT? YES.
UNTIL ALICE, I MEAN, SIGNED ALL THE DOCUMENTS.
WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN? I HAVE RATHER APPROVED YOU OR YOU'RE WAITING FOR APPROVAL.
THEY APPROVED ME, BUT IT'S JUST, UM, THE ONES THAT ARE CHECKED OFF, OFF THAT LIST ARE THE ONES THAT, UM, WILL COME OUT.
I TALKED TO BARBARA FROM BLUEPRINT AND SHE SAYS, YOU'RE ON THE LIST, SO WE SHOULD BE CALLING YOU IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL.
I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING AS OF TODAY, SO THERE'S HOPE, BUT IT'S, I'M CONFUSED.
'CAUSE YOU SAID YOU HAVEN'T BEEN APPROVED YET, BUT YOU'RE SAYING YOU HAVE BEEN? NO, NO, I HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY CASA VERVE, BUT THEN SHE GAVE ME A SHEET WITH DIFFERENT AGENCIES, THE ONES THAT ARE CIRCLE.
AND I TALKED TO BLUEPRINT BARBARA AND SHE SAYS, YOU'RE ON THE LIST, JUST WAIT ON THE EMAIL SAYING THAT WHEN WE CAN COME OUT AND START DOING IT.
BUT THE ROOF HAS TO BE DONE FIRST BEFORE THEY CAN DO THE INSULATION AND THE WIRING OF THE HOUSE.
AND ONCE THEY DO, THEY'LL PUT THE INSULATION ON THE CEILING AND ON THE WALLS AND UNDER THE FLOOR.
AND I ASKED HIM, HOW DO YOU DO IT UNDER THE FLOOR? HE SAYS, IN BETWEEN THE STUDS, THEY RUN IN THE INSULATION.
THEN WITH THE CHICKEN COOP WIRE, THEY STAPLE IT TO KEEP IT UP.
SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S NO SKIRTING ALSO BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO UP THERE AND TEAR IT UP ANYWAY.
SO YOU GOT THREE COMPANIES OUT OF A LIST AND YOU'RE JUST ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE THREE COMPANIES TO COME IN AND DO OH, MY EMAIL.
SO, SO REALLY THERE'S NO, THOSE ARE THE APPROVED CONTRACTORS FOR THE PROGRAM? YEAH, BUT THEY, SHE CAN'T EVEN GIVE US A DATE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T GIVEN HER ONE YET, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS IS A TIMELINE.
AND YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GIVING IT TO YOU.
'CAUSE WELL, WHAT THE GENTLEMAN FROM CAA VERDE TOLD ME FROM THAT DATE, I HAD A WHOLE YEAR FOR THEM TO COMPLETE THE JOB.
AND I ASKED HIM, DO I GET, UH, PERMITS OR STUFF? HE SAYS, NO, WE TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.
YEAH, BUT IN THE BOARD WE CAN'T GIVE YOU A YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING WHAT HE SAID.
BUT I'M SAYING HERE WE HAVE TO HAVE A AND YOU DON'T HAVE THAT YET, SO NO, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE EMAIL RIGHT YET.
SO YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THE GUY'S GONNA COME IN AND DO SO THE TIMELINE, YOU DON'T HAVE, WE NEED YES, I UNDERSTAND.
AND I WANNA INQUIRE ABOUT THE ACCESSORY.
WAS THERE ANY WORK THOUGHTS ABOUT WORKING ON THE ACCESSORY? THE, THE BACK SHAD AND THE CHICKEN COOP HAD SHEDS? WELL, THEY HAD TALKED ABOUT, UH, TAKE, TEARING IT DOWN THE CO COMPLIANCE AND STUFF.
BUT, UM, IT'S LIKE I SAID, THAT WAS SENTIMENTAL BECAUSE THE BACK END WAS THE CHICKEN COOP.
AND AS A LITTLE KID, I USED TO GO GET THE CHICKEN'S, UM, EGGS AND STUFF.
BUT IT'S THE INTERIOR, IT USED TO BE LIKE, UM, LIKE A
[03:15:01]
CARPORT OR SOMETHING.AND THEN THEY COVERED IT BECAUSE SHE HAD HER PLANTS IN THERE.
BUT I MEAN, I CAN TAKE THE INSIDE PART OUT.
BUT THE EXTERIOR, THE, THE ROOF AND STUFF, TO ME IT'S THE METAL.
AND YET, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU.
I, MADAM CHAIR, I'LL MAKE A, A MOTION.
I WOULD LIKE TO RESET THIS CASE UNTIL WE GET MORE INFORMATION OF HOW THIS IS GONNA BE DONE.
'CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TIMELINES.
I WOULD LIKE TO RESET FOR THE EARLIEST.
WELL NO NEXT AVAILABLE, THEN THE MOST CONVENIENT BECAUSE WE CAN'T RESET IT FOR THE EARLIEST.
THE NEXT AVAILABLE NEXT, THE NEXT AVAILABLE SESSION IF THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE.
'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO, BUT WILL WE GET, WILL WE GET ANY INFORMATION BEFORE THAT DISCUSSION? IT'S A MOTION.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND NOW.
WILL WE GET ANY OF INFORMATION IN TERMS OF TIMELINE? THAT, THAT'S THE PROBLEM IS THEY CAN'T GIVE HER A TIMELINE RIGHT NOW 'CAUSE SHE'S ON A WAITING LIST.
AND IF WE GIVE HER 30 DAYS, THEN THERE'S A PROBLEM THERE.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SET IT TO WHERE IT GIVES THE, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING IT, THEY JUST DON'T HAVE A TIMELINE FOR HER YET.
CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION? YEAH.
THAT'S WHAT DISCUSSION IS ABOUT.
UH, IF I MAY, COUNSEL, ARE WE ABLE TO SPLIT THE, UH, ACCESSORY STRUCTURES FROM THE MAIN STRUCTURE? UH, BECAUSE I HAVE AN OPINION THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ARE BEYOND FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED.
UH, AND I CONCERN, I I CONCUR WITH MR. ADDIS IN TERMS OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE, BUT CAN I SPIT THEM? MM-HMM
DID NOT OFFER FRIENDLY AMENDMENT THAT WE'VE, GO AHEAD.
EVEN FOR EVEN E EVEN FOR A RESET ON THE MAIN, WE CAN RESET THE MAIN AND MAKE AN ORDER ON THE ACCESSORIES.
THE, UH, MOTION WOULD BE TO, UH, RESET MAIN STRUCTURE AND, UH, REPAIR OR DEMOLISH ACCESSORY ONE, ACCESSORY TWO.
UH, THAT CAN ALL BE IN ONE ORDER.
MY SUGGESTION WAS, WELL, I, I GUESS I WOULD WANT TO FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, UM, BECAUSE HE WAS GONNA DO THE SAME THING FOR THE ACCESSORIES.
WE'RE IN DISCUSSION, THEN YOU CAN MAKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT AFTER THAT.
AFTER EVERYBODY'S HAD STAY, THEN WE CAN GO TO THE AMENDMENTS.
FOR THIS MAIN ACCESSORY, THERE'S NO NEED TO ISSUE A, A, A NOTICE TO, UH, KEEP THE HOUSE VACANT OR A NEED FOR SECURE IT.
IT'S ALREADY DONE, UH, IN THE, AND YOU CAN ON AN AMENDMENT.
BUT MY IS TO ALLOW THEM THE TIME 'CAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE TIME AND WE CAN'T GIVE THEM 30 DAYS.
'CAUSE ONCE YOU LOCK A DATE IN, THEN WE ARE OBLIGATED TO EITHER DEMO IT OR IT COMES BACK HERE.
BUT YES, ON THE ACCESSORIES AND THE, AND YOU CAN OFFER THAT IN THE AMENDMENT.
'CAUSE I JUST WANT THE MAIN TO BE SEPARATE AND I DIDN'T, I OVERLOOKED SOME OF THAT OTHER STUFF.
UH, THAT ALL CAN BE DONE AS AN AMENDMENT, BUT WE'RE SAVING THE MAIN STRUCTURE FOR RIGHT NOW UNTIL THEY GET A DATE FOR US TO GET A DATE.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO, I'M LIKE, IF WE'RE RESETTING IT, RE RESETTING IT, YOU CANNOT ADD CONDITIONS TO THE RESET IF, IS THAT CORRECT? WELL, THE, UH, YOU CAN ADD, UH, THAT IT WOULD BE MAINTAINED, UH, SECURELY UNTIL THE HEARING, BUT, UH, AGREED, UH, RESET, UH, CAN'T, UH, REQUIRE ANY TERMS EXCEPT FOR THE SECUR.
[03:20:01]
SOME SORT OF DOCUMENTATION WE NEED SOMETHING EVEN JUST LIKE THE YEAH.WE, THAT APPROVAL, APPROVAL LETTER FROM CASARE OR WHATEVER, JUST SOMETHING, SOME SORT OF DOCUMENTS.
AND THAT, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE RESETTING FOR, IS TO OBTAIN DOCUMENTATION SPECIFICALLY.
WE'RE RESETTING FOR MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE THREE POINTS.
THE THREE POINTS WOULD BE WHAT IS YOUR SCOPE OF WORK, WHAT'S THE MONEY AVAILABILITY, AND HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED? SO THOSE ARE THE THREE ITEMS THAT WE WOULD RESET FOR, UH, FOR THE MAIN IN TERMS OF, OF NOT, I MEAN NOT, THAT'S NOT HIS INITIAL MOTION, BUT AS FAR AS HIS MOTION ON THE RESET, IT WOULD BE THOSE THREE POINTS WE MUST SEE ON THE RESET.
BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR TIMELINE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE ALL THAT ANYWAY.
BUT ALSO THE ENGINEER'S REPORT COULD BE ADDED IN THERE AS WELL BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET THAT FOR THE, SINCE THEY STARTED THE FOUNDATION AND ALL THAT CAN BE, AND YOU'RE, AND YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT CAN BE ADDED IN THERE AS WELL BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF CASA WILL GIVE US THE FINANCIALS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S, BUT WE CAN GET THE REST OF THE LETTER AND EVERYTHING UP BECAUSE THAT SAID THERE WAS THREE PEOPLE AND SHE'S ON A LIST AND THEY CAN PROVIDE US THAT INFORMATION OF APPROXIMATE DATE OR X, Y, Z, WHATEVER THEY NEED.
AND THAT, THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE START THIS SO WE ALL CAN DISCUSS THE PROCESS OF THE OTHER STUFF.
BUT THE MAIN STRUCTURE WE CAN SECURE AND RESET.
AND THEN THE DOCUMENTATION, YOU CAN, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'D GO TO CODER IF IT GO, THAT CAN BE ADDED IN THERE AND THEN THEY CAN, THE STAFF CAN WORK THAT ONE OUT.
WELL THAT, THAT'S WHAT'S REQUIRED TO COME HERE.
BUT SHE DOESN'T GET IT BECAUSE SHE'S STILL ON THE LIST.
SO REPEAT BACK THE MOTION TO ME NOW.
MY MOTION WAS TO RESET THE MAIN STRUCTURE MM-HMM
AND, AND I'LL JUST ADD EVERYTHING SO WE DON'T HAVE TO, UH, AMEND IS SECURE THE MAIN STRUCTURE, UM, REQUIRE IN DOCUMENT FROM WHOEVER IS PROVIDING THE, UH, PROBABLY FROM THE INDIVIDUAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES AND, AND WHAT WAS IT? UH, CASA IS THAT RIGHT? AND, AND, AND CASA'S LETTER, LETTER OF INTENT, A LETTER OF INTENT, AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES TO DIVIDE, TO SUPPLY THE DOCUMENTATION AS THE FULL LIST OF WHAT THEY'RE DONE AND THE COST.
AND THAT SHOULD COME FROM THE COMPANIES, NOT CASA UH, DEMOLITION OF THE TWO STRUCTURES.
UH, ONE AND TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.
WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE YOU RECOMMEND? THAT WAS TWO RIGHT? ACCESSORY CHANGE.
SECURE DEMOLITION, AND THEN DOCUMENTATION.
UH, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO ADD? OKAY.
CAN YOU READ AN ACTUAL ORDER YOU DIDN'T DO THE OKAY.
'CAUSE I, NOW THAT I ADD THAT TO IT, I'LL HAVE TO READ THIS IN.
WE'RE STARTING THE SAME MOTION OVER.
UM, LET ME ASK THIS SINCE WE'VE ALREADY PUT IT ON THE THING FOR THE RESET.
CAN I AMEND THE, BECAUSE I DIDN'T READ IN THE, THE STIFF YET 'CAUSE WE WERE RESET, BUT SINCE WE'RE GONNA ADD THE DEMO, I JUST READ THAT INTO THE RECORD, WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE, UH, I WOULD RECOMMEND, UH, A FULL FOURTH OF VOTE, I MEAN FOR THE BOARD TO VOTE ON THE CURRENT MOTION.
IF, UH, IT DIES, THEN UH, DO THE SECOND MOTION TO INCLUDE WHAT YOU WANNA ADD.
SO, UM, SO WE VOTE ON THE RESET FIRST? NO, WE'RE VOTING ON THE ORIGINAL MOTION THAT YOU ALREADY GAVE.
WE VOTING ON THE FIRST MOTION.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING WE VOTE ON AND THAT'S IT.
WE VOTE ON THE RESET FIRST AND THEN THE OTHER.
YOU REMO YOU'LL RE YOU'LL MAKE A NEW MOTION.
WE HAVE TO KILL THIS ONE FIRST BEFORE WE CAN OH, OKAY.
SO, UM, I WOULD SAY BY, UH, UNANIMOUS CONSENT ALL ALL IN FAVOR OF OR ALL? YEAH.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION AS IS ALL OPPOSED NAY.
[03:25:01]
IT'S DEAD, TED.SO THE FIRST ONE IS KILLED FOR NAY.
ALRIGHT, I, UM, MADAM CHAIR, I MOTION, UH, I MOVED TO, I MOVED AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 19 19 0 6.
OKAY, CAN WE HAVE THE, THE, THE, YEAH, YEAH, THERE WE GO.
UM, IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE SIX, SECTION 6 1 5 7, WHICH IS, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO REPAIR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
UH, AND THE, THE, THE MAIN IS 1, 2, 7, 8.
MR. ANDIS, UH, I'M GONNA STOP YOU RIGHT THERE.
UH, SINCE UH, YOU ARE RESETTING THE MAIN, UH, YOU TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION, SO YOU DON'T NEED TO, UH, MAKE, UH, OH.
SO WE ARE DOING THE DEMO ON THE YES.
YOU JUST, UH, ALL YOU NEED FOR THE MAIN IS IT IS TO BE RESET TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE HEARING, UH, WITH WHAT, UH, THE DOCUMENTS AND TO KEEP IT SECURED UNTIL THEN, YOU DON'T NEED TO GO INTO THE CODES, NOR DO YOU NEED TO MAKE A DETERMINATION AT THIS TIME WHETHER IT IS FEASIBLE OR IT IS NOT FEASIBLE.
OH, FOR THE MAIN, BUT I WANTED THE MO THEN I GO INTO THE CODE.
UH, I MOTION THAT WE RESET THE MAIN STRUCTURE AT 9 1 9 0 6 TEXAS AVENUE TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE.
DATE, UM, WITH THE DOCUMENTATION FROM CASA, FROM THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES WORKING NEED TO HAVE THE, I'M A CONSTRUCTION WORKER.
UM, NEED TO HAVE THE LIST OF, UH, REPAIRS AND A COST ENGINEER'S REPORT NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED THAT ALL OF THEM RIGHT, THE FINANCIALS AND, AND SECURE THE MAIN STRUCTURE REMAIN SECURE.
AND THAT DOES IT FOR THE MAIN RIGHT.
AND TO DEMO, UH, I, I FIND THAT THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ONE AND TWO ARE NOT FEASIBLE TO REPAIR AND SHOULD BE DEMOED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
AND THE ACCESSORY ONE, SUBSECTION 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
AND SUBSECTIONS FOR, UH, ACCESSORY 2, 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, THEY ARE NOT FEASIBLE AND THEY PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD TO LIFE AND PROPERTY.

PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE, A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITIONS.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1902 FARWELL DRIVE.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE GOOD.
THE ABATEMENT COST WAS HOW MUCH THE ABATE, UH, THE ABATEMENT COST.
AND THAT WAS THAT BACK AREA, RIGHT? YES, SIR.
THAT'S THE ONLY ABATEMENT THAT WAS DONE? YES, SIR.
THE NEXT ONE IS ON, UM, 6 4 20 25.
AN EMAIL WAS SENT TO V-B-V-B-P AND TO H-O-H-P-O-H-P RESPONDED BACK.
DID V-V-V-B-P RESPOND BACK? YES, SIR.
SO DUE TO THE NEW ORDINANCE, THE, THE OHP REVIEW HAS COMPLETED, LIKE, UH, PRIOR TO THAT, WHEN, WHEN AFTER I, I HAVE ASSIGNED TO THE CASE.
SO TO THE, DUE TO THE NEW ORDINANCE, ANY PROPERTY THAT OHB REVIEW COMPLETED BEFORE SEPTEMBER, 2020, UH, UH, FOUR NEEDS TO BE RE-REVIEWED.
WE SENT A, AN, A NEW EMAIL WITH UPDATED PHOTOS TO OFFICE, OFFICE CHARGE, UH, RESERVATION TO MAKE THE RE-REVIEW.
WHAT ABOUT BBP VACANT? IT STANDS FOR VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
WHAT ABOUT THEM? DID THEY RESPOND BACK? THEY BOTH CONCURRED THAT THE, THE PROPERTY IS NOT SUBJECT FOR VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM NOR, UH, UH, HAVE IT LIKE A HISTORIC YEAH.
AND THEY, THEY SAY DECONSTRUCTION'S NOT REQUIRED ON OHP.
'CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE IT ANYWHERE IN THE NOTES THAT VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM HAD GOT BACK TO YOU.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT ANYWHERE IN THE NOTES.
IT MAY BE, I JUST DIDN'T SEE IT IN THERE.
BUT YOU DID SEND AN EMAIL IN THE, UH, THEY DID GET BACK WITH YOU ON THAT.
AND NO VAS, I I MENTIONED IT IN MY, UH, OUTLINES AT THE BEGINNING.
I WAS READING, UH, SO THERE'S NO VAGRANT GOING TO THIS PLACE, RIGHT? THERE IS NO, WHAT, I'M SORRY.
I, I WAS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.
THERE WAS ALSO, UH, BEFORE JUNE, UH, JUNE 6TH, 2025, THERE WAS AN RV THAT WAS OCCUPIED BY, UH, INDIVIDUALS.
I WAS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER.
HE ACTUALLY COMPLIED THE, THE RV IS NO LONGER ON THE PROPERTIES.
SO AT THE, AT THE BEGINNING WE'RE OUR, UH, WE WERE TAKING THE STRUCTURE WITH AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BECAUSE WE WERE TREATING THE RV AS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE BECAUSE IT'S NOT SELF PROPELLED, UH, VEHICLE, IT'S JUST A, A CAMPING RV.
BUT, UH, THE GOOD NEWS IS THE PROPERTY OWNER COMPLIED AND THE RV IS NO LONGER THERE.
AND, UH, THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, UH, THE OWNER, TROY WALSH.
UM, FIRST OF ALL, I, I WANTED TO APOLOGIZE, UH, TO THE COMMUNITY FOR LETTING MY HOUSE BECOME, UH, A NUISANCE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND MY NEIGHBORS, UH, WAS NEVER MY INTENTION, BUT IT, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.
AND SO I, I BEAR RESPONSIBILITY AND SHAME FOR THAT.
[03:45:01]
UM, I ORIGINALLY HAD PLANNED ON ONE, ONE MOMENT.UM, YOU HAVE TO STATE YOUR NAME AND, OH, I'M SORRY.
I'M THE OWNER AT 1902 FARWELL DRIVE, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
SO, I ORIGINALLY HAD, HAD PLANNED ON, UM, UM, REPAIRING THE HOUSE, UM, WHEN AFTER THE FIRE, I MEAN, UH, THE SHEET ROCK AND EVERYTHING, IT WAS JUST DOWN ON THE FLOOR.
SO, UM, HAD THAT MOST OF THAT TAKEN OUT WHILE WE COULD, WE GOT A, UM, A DUMPSTER AND FILLED IT UP AND, UH, GOT WHAT WE COULD OUT THERE.
BUT, UM, A COUPLE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES AS FAR AS WHY THIS HAS GONE ON SO LONG.
UM, NUMBER ONE, I I, I'VE HAD PHYSICAL ISSUES FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, BUT, UM, UM, I HAD, I WAS IN A CAR WRECK IN JANUARY OF 2024.
AND, UM, UM, UNFORTUNATELY THAT LED TO, UH, TWO SPINAL SURGERIES.
I HAD ONE, UM, AUGUST, UH, CERVICAL FUSION, AUGUST OF, UH, 2024.
UM, AND, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT MY SYMPTOMS TO MY LEGS JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE UNTIL FINALLY THEY FIGURED OUT THAT THE, UH, THE WRECK HAD, UM, HAD, UH, UH, SNAPPED, UH, MY SECOND LUMBAR FUSION, UH, THE L THREE TO FOUR.
UH, AND THEN OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS, THE PROCESS, THE, THE, THE SCREWS AND EVERYTHING, HARDWARE ALL GOT LOOSE.
AND SO IT WAS JUST GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.
UM, WAS GONNA HAVE SURGERY ORIGINALLY AS EARLY AS JULY.
UM, THAT GOT POST POSTPONED BACK AND BACK BECAUSE OF MY INSURANCE.
JUST WAS, WAS JUST, UH, CRAWLING ON IT.
SO I DIDN'T END UP HAVING THE SURGERY UNTIL SEPTEMBER 26TH.
AND, UM, AND IN FACT, UM, UM, OFFICER HASAN, UM, I GUESS CALLED ME, UM, NOT TOO LONG BEFORE THE SURGERY.
AND, UM, THAT'S WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT, UH, HE HAD, UH, SUBMITTED THE, THE HOUSE FOR A DE DEMOLITION.
AND MY, MY RESPONSE TO HIM WAS, UM, UH, WELL, I, I SHOULD, IT IS BEEN MY INTENTION FOR OVER A YEAR NOW TO, TO SELL IT.
I DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO, TO, UH, REPAIR IT ANYMORE.
AND, UM, UH, BUT I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT, UH, I COULD HAVE THE HOUSE SOLD BEFORE THIS DATE, OR AT LEAST HAVE IT UNDER CONTRACT.
UM, AND ORIGINALLY I, UH, WANTED TO SELL IT TO THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS THAT HE REALLY WANTED TO BUY THE HOUSE.
UH, IT WAS THREE GENERATIONS LIVING IN UNDER ONE ROOF, AND THEY WANTED TO GET THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR SO THEY COULD GET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THEIR PARENTS.
UM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THEY, THEY JUST END UP, END UP HAVING THE MEANS TO DO IT.
UM, BUT, UM, SO, UM, AND THEN I HAD THE SURGERY.
I, I, THIS WAS MY THIRD LUMBAR FUSION.
AND, AND I, THE, THE PRIOR TO, I HAD BOUNCED BACK PRETTY QUICK, AND I FIGURED I'D BE UP AND AROUND WITHIN A MONTH OR SO, AND I COULD TAKE ACTION ON THIS AND GET IT ROLLING.
AND IT, IT JUST DIDN'T HAPPEN THAT WAY THIS TIME.
UH, I WOKE UP FROM THE HOSPITAL AND I HAD HORRIBLE NERVE PAIN.
THEY SAY THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES THAT, YOU KNOW, DECOMPRESS NERVES AND JUST GO CRAZY.
AND, AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
SO I WAS PRETTY MUCH JUST BEDRIDDEN FOR TWO MONTHS AND REALLY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
AND, UM, I DID REACH OUT TO ONE, UH, COMPANY THAT EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE HOUSE SEVERAL TIMES.
AND, UH, HE, HE DID LOOK AT THE HOUSE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT GAVE ME A REALLY LOW BALL, UM, OFFER.
UM, SO, UH, ONE THING I WANTED TO DO WAS, UH, I, I HAVE A, THE SUMMARY FROM THE, UH, THE FIRE, UH, DAMAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT.
THIS WAS, UH, DONE BY, UH, OFFICER FLORES, UH, AS BADGE NUMBER IS 1 1 5.
AND, UM, WHAT HE SAID HERE, AND, AND I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND, UM, MO MOST DAMAGE IS TO THE BACK WALL OF THE HOME AND A FEW TRUSSES LOOK CHARRED.
A FEW TRUSSES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
NO PLANS NEED NEEDED FOR SUBMITTAL, BUT WILL REQUIRE AN ENGINEER'S, UH, LETTER FOR TRASH REPAIR AND OBSERVATION.
NOTICE A FEW HARD WIRES THROUGH THE RESIDENCE, ALONG WITH SOME PLUMBING.
THE REMAINDER OF DAMAGE IS MOSTLY SMOKE DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.
PLEASE NOTE, AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTION, THE WALLS WERE GUTTED, UNCOVERED FLOORS AND CEILINGS WERE MOSTLY UN REMOVED.
UM, DID YOU WANT TO YES THAT UP PLEASE.
UM, AND THE, THE REASON WHY I WANT TO SAY THAT IS THAT, UH, THE MAJORITY OF, OF THE, THE ACTUAL, UH, FRAMING, UM, IS, IS, IS STILL USABLE.
[03:50:01]
IS A TOTAL GUT, AND I, I KNEW THAT AFTER THE FIRE.AND, UM, SO I WANTED TO, TO SELL THE HOUSE.
AND ANYBODY BUYING IT, IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE A FLIPPER, SOMEBODY WITH, WITH FINANCIAL MEANS THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
AND, UM, UM, BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE A WHOLE REDO, BUT THE FRAME DOES HAVE A LOT OF VALUE.
UM, UM, MOST, MOST OF WHAT'S ON THE CEILING AS FAR AS THE BLACK IS JUST SUIT.
AND THAT'S WHAT HE SAID IS THAT JUST, THERE'S JUST THE BACK END TRUSSES AND THE KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE THAT HAVE DAMAGE.
AND THEN OF COURSE, ALL ALONG THE, THE EDGES, THE EAVES, AND THEN THE BACK, AND ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THE BACK WALL.
AND THEN THERE'S, UM, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DAMAGE TO, TO INTERIOR WALL, UH, INTERIOR FRAMING, UH, ON THE BATHROOM.
BUT THE REST OF THE HOUSE, THE FRAMING IS STILL IN DECENT CONDITION.
THERE MIGHT BE, YEAH, THERE MIGHT BE A FEW PLACES WHERE THERE'S SOME ROTTED WOOD THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED, BUT, BUT THIS, THE, THE STRUCTURE'S STILL SOUND.
UM, THE HOUSE IS SECURED AT THIS TIME.
UM, THAT LITTLE HOLE THAT WAS IN THE KITCHEN, I'VE ALREADY CLOSED UP.
AND, UM, I CAN SHOW YOU A PICTURE OF THAT.
UH, I, I JUST PUT, UH, SOME PLYWOOD IN ON THE INSIDE.
I HAD A FRIEND HELP ME WITH IT.
BUT, UM, UH, THERE'S, THERE'S TWO PICTURES HERE THAT'S FROM THE OUTSIDE, AND THAT SHOWS ON THE INSIDE.
AND I TEND TO GET MY SON OR MY FRIEND TO GO AHEAD AND PUT ANOTHER PIECE ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT I HADN'T GOT TO THAT YET.
UM, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR OR SO, I, I'VE HAD LOTS OF PEOPLE CONTACT ME EITHER THROUGH MAIL OR TEXT OR LETTERS, WHATEVER.
UM, INTERESTED IN, IN THE, THE HOUSE, BUYING THE HOUSE.
THESE ARE, THESE ARE ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE FOR THE MOST PART, UM, FLIPPERS.
AND, UM, I SAVED THOSE JUST IN CASE.
AND I MADE AN A, A A LIST HERE, UH, OF 20.
THERE MIGHT BE A FEW MORE, BUT THESE ARE ONES THAT I HAD THAT COULD KIND OF, UH, UH, ACCUMULATE TOGETHER AND FOR YOUR LISTING.
BUT MY, MY INTENTION, OF COURSE, IT'S ALL CONTINGENT ON WHETHER OR NOT Y'ALL GRANT AN EXTENSION ON THIS, UH, IS TO, WAS TO HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE ON THE, THE PROPERTY, UM, ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY THE NINTH, WHETHER THEY'RE PERMITTING AND CONTACT ALL THESE PEOPLE, CALL THEM, AND, UM, LET THEM KNOW THAT I'M GONNA HAVE IT FOR OPEN FOR INSPECTION AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT THE SITUATION IS WITH THE HOUSE SO THAT EVERYBODY THAT DOES COME OUT, UH, WELL KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO AND KNOWS THAT THEY, THEY NEED TO, TO BE ABLE TO, TO MOVE ON THE HOUSE.
UM, I HAVE, UH, PERSONAL LIABILITIES THAT, UH, ARE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE.
UM, THE, THE ABATEMENT, UM, AND THEN SOME BACK TAXES.
AND THEN I HAVE SOME JUDGEMENTS THAT, PERSONAL JUDGEMENTS, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THOSE WILL, WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
UM, OH, HERE'S THIS BEFORE TITLE CAN BE TRANSFERRED.
UM, AND, UM, THESE WERE, UM, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, UH, CREDIT CARD, UM, UH, THAT, THAT WENT DE LINK WENT BACK, UH, ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN I GOT REAL SICK.
AND, UM, SO, UM, THE PROPERTY AS IT IS NOW WITH THE, THE HOUSE AND, UH, THE FRAMING, UM, INTACT.
UH, I, I THINK IT'S, IT'S A QUARTER ACRE LOT.
IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A DECENT NEIGHBORHOOD AND I THINK THAT I, I COULD, SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET ENOUGH.
UM, I DON'T, DID Y'ALL WANNA PERSONALLY SEE THESE? I MADE SOME COPIES, NO.
UM, BUT WITH, WITH THE, THE HOUSE, UH, FRAMING INTACT, UH, I THINK THAT I COULD GET AN OFFER ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF MY, THE, OF THE, WHAT NEEDS TO BE PAID TO GET THE TITLE TRANSFERRED IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S NAME.
UM, THAT'S NOT ONLY WHAT'S BEST FOR ME, BUT I THINK IT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR THE NEIGHBORS, BECAUSE IF Y'ALL GO AHEAD AND DEMOLISH THIS HOUSE AND JUST LEAVE A SLAB, UM, IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT'S GONNA WANT TO BE, YOU KNOW, UH, TAKE IT ON TO, TO BUILD A NEW FRAMING AND, AND, AND START A HOUSE OFF.
IT JUST, I'M NOT SAYING IT, I COULDN'T DO IT.
I'M JUST SAYING IT MAKES IT A LOT HARDER FINANCIALLY, AND IT'S, IT IS, AND IT'S, IT'S MOST LIKELY THAT, THAT THE SLABS GONNA SIT THERE FOR A WHILE.
UM, I DON'T, AND I JUST, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'VE BEEN PAYING DOWN THESE, THESE JUDGMENT
[03:55:01]
DEBTS, BUT, UM, IT'S STILL A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT.UM, I WILL SAY THAT, UM, I, I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED WHEN OFFICER HASSAN TOLD ME THAT THE HOUSE WAS GONNA BE UP FOR THE DEMOLITION.
I HAD, I KIND GOT BOUNCED AROUND ON CO COMPLIANCE OFFICERS.
THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE, UM, UH, OFFICER HASSAN KIND OF CAME IN LATE TO THE GAME.
UH, BUT FOR LA LAST YEAR, I, I WAS DOING MY BEST TO COMPLY WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS ASKED OF ME AS IT WAS BEING DONE.
THE ABATEMENT THAT HAPPENED BEFORE THAT HAPPENED, UM, I HAD A, UM, 30 CUBIC YARD, UH, ROLLAWAY DUMPSTER BROUGHT TO THE HOUSE.
AND, UM, AND ANOTHER THING IS I HAVE, UH, HAD A, UM, THE, THE, THE, THE, THE PROBLEM HE WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE V AND WHATEVER, THAT WAS ACTUALLY A, UM, UM, A STRANGE MENTALLY ILL SON OF MINE, UH, THAT HAD, UH, JUST STARTED SQUATTING ON THE PROPERTY.
IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET HIM OUT OF THERE, UH, BECAUSE HE HAD SQUATTERS RIGHTS.
SO I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO THROUGH EVICTION PROCESS AND FROM THE TIME I STARTED TO, TO FINALLY GET HIM OUT OF THERE BY HIM GETTING ARRESTED, IT WAS SEVERAL MONTHS.
AND, UM, BUT I, THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE PREVIOUS CO COMPLIANCE OFFICER TOLD ME I NEEDED TO, TO DO.
AND, UM, AND SO I, I WORKED ON THAT, AND THEN HE HAD, I WAS TOLD THAT, UM, I NEEDED TO GET THE BACKYARD CLEANED UP.
SO ME AND A FRIEND AND MY YOUNGEST SON WENT OUT THERE ONE DAY, AND THIS IS WHEN THIS ESTRANGED SON IS THERE AND HE'S, HE WAS HOSTILE, UM, HAD TO CALL THE COPS TWICE TO GET HIM TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY WHILE WE WERE CLEANING UP, BUT WE SPENT ALL DAY CLEANING UP THE BACKYARD.
WE DIDN'T GET IT SPOTLESS, BUT WE GOT MR. WELCH.
UH, THIS IS THE, UH, UM, LEGAL, UH, JUST TO, UM, UH, ASK THAT YOU STICK TO, UH, WHAT IT IS YOU'RE ASKING THE BOARD FOR.
UH, SPECIFICALLY SO THAT, UH, THE BOARD CAN TAKE ACTION.
WELL, MY POINT WAS JUST THAT I, I'VE DONE MY BEST AND, AND ALSO I HAVE, UH, I HAD DONE THE, THE TRESPASS AUTHORIZATION FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SO THAT, THAT, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEBODY GOES ON THE PROPERTY, THEY HAVE ACCESS.
UM, AND SO I TRIED TO DO WHATEVER I COULD, BUT I, THE LAST TWO YEARS, LIKE I SAID, HAVE BEEN REALLY ROUGH ON ME PHYSICALLY, AND THEN ALSO DEALING WITH THE, THE SUN PROBLEM.
AND HE, HE DID A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY.
SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS AN EXTENSION TO GIVE ME ENOUGH TIME, UH, TO FIND A BUYER FOR THE HOUSE AS IS.
UM, AND, AND, UM, AND GET, GET THE, GET THE TIME TO, TO FIND THE BUYER, GET THE HOUSE, UM, CLOSED, AND THEN GIVE THAT NEW OWNER AT LEAST ENOUGH TIME TO, UH, GET STARTED ON A, YOU KNOW, A, A BUILDING PERMIT AND EVERYTHING.
AND, UM, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR.
ANY QUESTIONS? I GOT ONE FOR CLARIFICATION.
THE FIRST SHEET THAT WE SAW, WHO IS OFFICER FLORE OR MR. FLORES? OFFICER FLORES.
HE'S A, HE'S A, A FIRE INSPECTOR.
UH, WITH THE CO, WITH THE CO CODA COMPLIANCE OFFICE.
I BELIEVE I HAD A HARD TIME FINDING THE RIGHT OFFICE TO DO THAT AND, BUT WELL, THAT'S WHY I ASKED.
'CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ON THERE THAT SAID FIRE DEPARTMENT OR ANYTHING.
IT JUST GIVES A CITY, IT'S NOT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
IT'S CO IT'S, IT'S SOME, IT'S ONE LIKE A DEPARTMENT OF CODE COMPLIANCE.
UH, IT'S REALLY HARD TO FIND ON THE INTERNET.
UH, MADAM CHAIR, WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE THAT DOES FIRE ASSESSMENTS WITHIN, UM, THE DSD, THAT WOULD BE THE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE.
SO OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT TEAM WOULDN'T BE DOING THAT.
JUST TO CLARIFY, IT'S A, IT'S AN INITIAL S AND THEN FLORES BADGE NUMBER 1 1 5.
YEAH, BUT AT THE TOP I DIDN'T SEE LIKE FROM WHATEVER, BUT THAT, THAT'S THE CLARIFICATION.
NO, I DON'T NEED TO SEE, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHO IT WAS.
I, I, LIKE I SAID, I HAD A HARD TIME FINDING THEM TOO.
BUT THIS WAS HIS, THIS WAS HIS, UH, REPORT.
AND MR. WELCH, YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HAVING, UH, SOME TIME TO FIND A BUYER, UH, TO SETTLE SOME OF THE FINANCIAL, CAN YOU GIMME AN IDEA OF WHAT KIND OF FINANCIAL ISSUES YOU'RE EXPECTING? ARE YOU NEEDING? WELL, I HAVE, UH, LIABILITIES OF ABOUT 27,000, 26 TO 27,000 THAT HAVE TO BASICALLY COME OUT OF PROCEEDS.
AND SO I JUST NEED, UH, I KNOW ORIGINALLY I HAD HOPED TO DON'T, DON'T EXPLAIN IT, JUST 27,000 WAS THE ANSWER, SO THAT'S FINE.
SO BASICALLY I WAS, WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS GET PEOPLE THERE, GET BIDS, TAKE THE HIGH BID THAT COULD, THAT HAD, UH, THE, THE RESOURCES TO, TO DO IT.
AND, UH, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, PAY, PAY, UH, PAY WHAT I NEEDED TO PAY JUST TO TRANSFER THE TITLE.
AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT.
[04:00:01]
I UNDERSTAND $500 IN BANK, YOU KNOW, IN, IN THE PREVIOUS ATTEMPT TO SELL, UH, YOU HAD INDICATED THAT IT WAS GONNA BE A NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.AND WHAT WAS THE FINAL, UH, WELL, THE FINAL OUTCOME, OBVIOUSLY THEY DECIDED NOT TO, BUT WHAT WAS THEIR PRIMARY CONCERN CAUSING THEM TO BACK OUT OF THE, THE PURCHASE? THEY, THEY JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY.
SO IT, THEY COULDN'T GET THE MONEY UP FRONT.
WE ORIGINALLY, YOU KNOW, OVER A YEAR AGO, IT, THEY TALKED ABOUT BUYING, I HAD, I HAD AN OFFER FROM THIS ONE GUY, UH, SAID HE WOULD PAY $80,000 FOR A HOUSE, AND THIS IS AT LEAST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.
AND, UH, AND THE MARKET HAS SOFTENED, BUT, UM, UH, AND THEN I TOLD THEM, AND THEY ASKED IF I COULD TAKE ANYTHING LESS.
AND I SAID, YEAH, I'LL, YOU KNOW, I I I COULD GO 75 FOR YOU.
AND, UH, THEY KIND OF ACTED LIKE THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD DO THAT.
AND, UM, AND THEN LATER ON STARTED TALKING SOMETHING ABOUT MAYBE DOING SOME KIND OF FINANCING.
BUT THIS, THIS MADE THAT IMPOSSIBLE.
I MEAN, IT'S, IT'S JUST, I, I, I REALIZE THERE'S NO WAY THAT I CAN, YOU KNOW, FINANCE THE HOUSE.
IT HAS TO BE, IT HAS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO SOMEONE WHO HAS THE MEANS TO GET THE HOUSE, UH, RESTORED AND IT HAS TO BE DONE FAST, AND THEY, THEY JUST CAN'T DO IT.
UH, THE OTHER GUY THAT I HAD HAD, UH, ACTUALLY WENT OUT TO SEE THE HOUSE.
I MEAN, HE'S THE ONE WHO ORIGINALLY HAD SAID HE WOULD PAY ME $80,000 FOR THE HOUSE, AND THEN HE CAME BACK WITH A, A BIT OF OF 20.
AND SO I, WE, YOU KNOW, WE PARTED WAYS.
UM, THE LOT ITSELF IS WORTH 40 PLUS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A QUARTER ACRE LOT.
IT'S KIND OF UNUSUAL FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO ANY OF THIS? WELL, I THINK, I THINK A MINIMUM OF 90 DAYS, BUT IF I COULD GET 120, THAT WOULD BE BETTER, BECAUSE THAT GIVES THE NEW OWNER ENOUGH TIME TO GET THEM THEMSELVES, UM, YOU KNOW, GET, GET GOING ON THE HOUSE, AND BEFORE THEY HAVE TO REPORT BACK WITH INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT'S GETTING DONE, I ASSUME THAT THE FIRST THING THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IS JUST GET THE STRUCTURE OUTSIDE, STRUCTURE, UH, COMPLIANT WHEN THEN, YOU KNOW, BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
BUT I, I, I, I'M SURE THESE, THESE FLIPPERS ARE, THIS IS A LOT OF THEM, THEY, THIS IS ALL NEWS TO THEM AND THEY'VE DONE THIS STUFF BEFORE, THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO.
BUT I THINK, UH, 90 DAYS A MINIMUM BECAUSE I MEAN, IF I, IF I HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE IN TWO WEEKS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AT LEAST FOR A CONTRACT.
AND THEN CLOSING WITH, WITH THESE THINGS I HAVE TO CLEAR OFF, COULD TAKE A, UH, EASILY A MONTH.
YOU'RE TOTAL INTO INPUT, HOWEVER, IS TO SELL TO SOMEBODY AS IS, AND THEN YEAH, IT'S REQUIREMENT FOR THEM TO COME IN ALL THE, THESE ARE, THESE ARE FLIPPERS.
THEY'RE ALL, THEY'RE ALL, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE ARE, YOU KNOW, THE UGLY HOUSE PEOPLE AND SOME OF THESE ARE PRETTY BIG PEOPLE.
UM, ONE OF 'EM IS A GUY THAT IS A NEIGHBOR ON THE STREET.
YEAH, GO AHEAD, COUNSEL TO, UH, THE REQUEST FOR THE BOARD.
SO YOUR REQUEST IS, UH, REQUESTING 90 DAYS TO SELL THE PROPERTY? YES.
UH, IT IS BECOMING REPETITIVE, SO, UH, AND THE HOUSE IS SECURE.
NOW, THE, THE, UM, I MEAN, OFFICER HASSAN CAN TELL YOU THERE'S BEEN NO ONE IN THE HOUSE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS.
THERE'S NO SIGNS OF ANYBODY GETTING IN.
AND YES, I KNOW THERE WAS THAT HOLE, BUT I DON'T DON'T THINK ANYBODY EVER WENT IN THROUGH IT.
'CAUSE THERE WAS JUST NO SIGNS OF ANYBODY BEING IN THERE.
SINCE, SINCE WE HAD DONE CLEANUP WORK IN THE HOUSE, WE, UM, THERE, YOU KNOW, HAD, UH, TWO, TWO, UM, UM, UM, ROLLAWAY DUMPSTERS, YOU KNOW, UH, LAST YEAR AT THE PROPERTY.
ONE WAS IN APRIL TO CLEAN UP BEFORE THAT ABATEMENT HAD TO BE DONE.
FORTUNATELY, MY, MY SON SABOTAGED THAT.
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS, UM, WAS IN, UM, I GUESS AUGUST OR AFTER, AFTER HE WAS AT, HE WAS TAKEN AWAY, UH, YOU KNOW, REMOVED FROM THE HOUSE AND TAKEN, UH, GOT THE, UM, THE TRAVEL TRAILER AND, AND A BOAT TAKEN OUT AND EVERYTHING.
WE CLEANED UP THE WHOLE BACK, THE BACK, THE, THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
NOW THERE'S, IT'S, IT'S, THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO HOME? NO.
IS THERE ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THE ACTION YOU WANT US TO TAKE THAT YOU WANT TO ADD? I'M, I'M ASKING FOR AN EXTENSION ON YOUR DECISION FOR DEMOLITION FOR, FOR AT LEAST 90 DAYS.
YOU CAN GET A CHANCE TO GET THE, THE HOUSE SOLD AND, UM, LIKE I SAID, I WILL TAKE ANY OFFER THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO DO THAT.
I JUST, AT THIS POINT, I JUST, YOU KNOW, DON'T WANT TO BE SITTING ON A, A LOT THAT AND THEN, AND THEN NOT BE ABLE TO, TO SELL IT, UH, AND JUST BE STUCK WITH IT.
YES, WE DID RECEIVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WE WILL BE READING INTO THE RECORD.
[04:05:01]
US ABOUT THE ITEM ON THE BSB AGENDA.OUR OFFICE IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS ADDRESS AND WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND CONTEXT.
SINCE 2024, OUR STAFF HAS MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE OWNER'S SON WHO HAS RESIDED ON THE PROPERTY.
DURING THIS TIME, NEIGHBORS CONTACTED OUR OFFICE WITH CONCERNS RELATED TO ANIMAL CARE SERVICES AND CODE COMPLIANCE.
AT THAT TIME, THE MAIN STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY HAD SUSTAINED FIRE DAMAGE AND THE SON OF THE PRIMARY OWNER WAS REPORTEDLY LIVING IN A SHED ON THE PREMISES.
IN AUGUST OF 2025, A CRIMINAL TRESPASS NOTICE WAS SIGNED AND THE SUN WAS REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY DUE TO ONGOING REPORTS OF THREATS TOWARDS A CS PERSONNEL, LACK OF PROPERTY MAINTENANCE, UH, ACCUMULATION OF TRASH IN THE BACKYARD, AND HOMELESS ACTIVITY THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACTED NEIGHBOR'S QUALITY OF LIFE.
ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL BSB HEARING WAS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER, IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER BEGAN CLEANING UP EFFORTS, WHICH RESULTED IN THE HEARING BEING RESCHEDULED TO THIS MONTH.
NEIGHBORS HAVE CONSISTENTLY REPORTED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND PRIMARILY RELATED TO A CS ISSUES AND EXCESSIVE TRASH AND CONCERNS THAT THE STRUCTURE WAS UNSAFE.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL.

I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1902 FARWELL IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57.
IT IS FEASIBLE BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.

UH, SUB CODES FOR IT IS 1 2 4 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, THAT WE SHOULD ALLOW 60 DAYS TO SELL THE PROPERTY AND IF NOT SOLD, THEN THE BUILDING WOULD BE DEMOLISHED AND THE PROPERTY WOULD HAVE 60 DAYS AFTER SALE TO BE REPAIRED, OTHERWISE TO BE DEMOLISHED IN 30 DAYS.
THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY AT 1902 FARWELL DRIVE IS, UH, A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND IS FEASIBLE FOR REPAIR AT THIS TIME, UM, AND IS IN VIOLATION WITH SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
UH, THE, THE ORDER IS 60 DAY TO SELL, UM, THE PROPERTY OR IT GOES UP FOR DEMOLITION AND 60 DAYS AFTER, UH, THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP TO ALLOW FOR REPAIRS.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I DON'T THINK WE CAN DO THAT.
OKAY, NOW, NOW, UH, COUNSEL, WE CAN'T ORDER A REPAIR AND, AND SAY THAT WE'RE ALLOWING SOMEBODY 60 DAYS TO SELL THE PROPERTY, CORRECT? UH, WHICH ARE, UH, THE, THE BOARD IS, UH, ALLOWED TO ORDER SUCH.
UH, WHAT YOU'RE BASICALLY DOING IS, UH, PROVIDING FOR A TOTAL OF 120 DAYS FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE REPAIRED.
