THE SON OF JAMES DE LA GARZA, MICHAEL CONTINUED TO LIVE IN THE STRUCTURE.
SEVERAL UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE STRUCTURE WITH MICHAEL.
THE, THEIR PRESENCE CONTRIBUTED TO A LARGE, UH, ACCUMULATION OF RUBBISH AND EXTERIOR DEBRIS.
DUE TO THE DETERIORATED AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS, THE CITY WAS REQUIRED TO ABATE THE PROPERTY.
AN ELECTRICAL PERMIT WAS PULLED IN APRIL OF 2025, ALMOST A YEAR AFTER THE FIRE BY AN ELECTRICIAN HIRED BY JAMES DE LA GARZA.
THE REPAIR WORK WAS BEING DONE UNTIL IT WAS HALTED FOR NOT HAVING HAD A FIRE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT.
NO FURTHER PERMITS WERE PULLED AND NO FURTHER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
MR. DE LA GARZA REPORTED BEING UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE REQUIRED PERMITS DUE TO LACK OF OWNERSHIP DOCUMENTS.
HE ALSO REPORTED BEING UNABLE TO KEEP HIS SON AND ACQUAINTANCES OUT OF THE STRUCTURE.
A NOTICE TO VACATE WAS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY ON JULY 8TH, 2025.
HOWEVER, MICHAEL CONTINUED TO LIVE IN THE STRUCTURE.
ADDITIONAL UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS FREQUENTED THE PROPERTY, PROMPTING REPEATED CALLS FROM NEIGHBORS TO SAPD AND MYSELF.
THE PROPERTY REMAINS IN VIOLATION AND IN AN UNSAFE AND UNINHABITABLE CONDITION.
TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT TWO 14, BROOKS STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTIONS 1 2 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS HAD ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING
[00:20:01]
AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH.SAFETY WELFARE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF TWO 14 BROOKS STREET.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? I DO.
THE ELECTRICAL PERMIT BECAUSE IT WAS NO FIRE ASSESSMENT? YES.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT, UM, AN ELECTRICIAN HIRED BY MR. DE LA GARZA WAS ABLE TO PULL THE PERMIT AND IN ORDER FOR THEM TO RECONNECT THE ELECTRICITY, CPS CAME OUT AND SAID, WHOA, WE'RE NOT GOING ANY FURTHER.
YOU NEED A FIRE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT.
SO IF A FIRE DAMAGE ASSESSMENT HAD BEEN GATHERED WITH A PLUS, THEY COULD STILL MAKE, THEN THEY COULD HAVE THE, THE PERMIT STILL ACTIVE EXCEPT IT'S ON HOLD, RIGHT? OR IS THAT NO, IT, IT EXPIRED, UM, SIX MONTHS AFTER IT WAS PULLED.
SO HE'D HAVE TO REAPPLY FOR NEW IF GO, HE'D HAVE TO RE REAPPLY, BUT HE'S HAVING DIFFICULTY AS STATED.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? THERE ARE NONE.
I DROPPED MY NOTES,
AND IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR STATION, SIR.
I'VE BEEN IN THAT AREA FOR ALMOST SEVEN YEARS.
SIX OF THOSE YEARS I HAD THE SAME AREA AS A PATROLMAN.
AND THEN THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR IN A COUPLE MONTHS AS A SAFE OFFICER FOR THE SAME DISTRICT.
UM, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT 2 1 4 BROOKS, EXCUSE ME.
I HAD THESE BRACES RE TIGHTENED.
UM, BASICALLY WHAT, UH, DP SANTANA SAID, OFFICER SANTANA SAID WAS SHE PRETTY MUCH NAILED IT.
UM, LATELY WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FOR BURGLARIES, UM, THERE AS WELL AS I, UH, UNSHELTERED INDIVIDUALS TRYING TO GET INTO INSIDE THE HOUSE TO STEAL MAYBE WHATEVER IS NECESSARY FOR THEM, WHICH IS COPPER WIRE.
UM, ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HIT IS THAT THE LOCATION OF THE HOUSE IS ACTUALLY TWO BLOCKS EAST FROM AUSTIN STREET.
IF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT AUSTIN STREET IS, IT ATTACHES NEXT TO 37 AND THAT'S ACTUALLY WHERE THE HOMELESS HANG OUT UNDERNEATH THE HIGHWAY.
AND THAT'S WHERE THEY CAN WALK THERE.
THEY CAN RIDE BIKES, THEY CAN DO BASICALLY IT'S EASY, UH, BACK ALLEYWAY TO GET TO THE PROPERTY.
WE'VE HAD, UH, FOUR CRITICAL, UH, CALLS THERE IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.
UM, THREE OF THOSE WERE, UM, SHOTS FRAUD SHOTS HEARD ALSO, UH, CUTTING OUT IN OUR, UM, IN OUR PROCESS OF SHOOTING AND PROGRESSES.
UM, AND ONE OF THEM WAS OBVIOUSLY THE STRUCTURE FIRE.
UM, NOW WE'VE, I'VE RUN INTO MICHAEL, UH, MR. DE LA GARZA STUN A COUPLE TIMES, AND THEN ALSO THE INDIVIDUALS, UM, LEAVING AND EXITING THE PROPERTY, ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK PART.
UM, THERE USED TO BE A MORE OF A SHACK THAT GOT BURNED DOWN AS WELL.
AND ONE THING THAT OBVIOUSLY THE, THE PICTURES SHOW REALLY, REALLY GOOD IS, UM, HOW CLOSE THE HOUSES ARE ON BROOKS.
I MEAN, IF YOU REACH OUT ARMS LENGTH, UM, NOT MINE, MY ARMS ARE SHORT, BUT SOMEBODY THAT HAS A PRETTY GOOD SIZE, UM, YOU CAN TOUCH ONE END OF THE PROPERTY.
AND, UM, I KNOW A LOT OF, UM, A LOT OF RESIDENTS HAVE CALLED ESPECIALLY IN WORRIED NEIGHBORS EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT WANT CONTACT.
'CAUSE THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO WANT CONTACT IN OUR, OUR TYPE OF WORK.
AND OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE, UM, NOT SAYING MR. DE LA GARZA'S SON'S, UH, ANY CAUSING ANY, HAS EVER CAUSED ME ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. BUT MAYBE HIS, UM, ACQUAINTANCES LIKE HAVE WE MENTIONED.
AND UH, SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS ARE OBVIOUSLY WORRIED BY 'EM.
UM, OBVIOUSLY WHEN WE GO OUT THERE, WE MAKE CONTACT OR DO A PATROL BUYS AND WE, UM, KIND OF MAKE CONTACT WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS UP AND DOWN THE STREET.
UM, WE'LL, WE'LL SEE SOME RESIDENTS LEAVE OR IN OTHER WORDS, FIND A EXCUSE TO GET OUTSIDE AND KIND OF SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING, KIND OF SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEN JUST GIVE US A THUMBS UP FROM THE DISTANCE.
SO, UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, UM, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF, UM, ADDITIONAL ISSUE INFORMATION I CAN REALLY GIVE OUT.
'CAUSE UM, THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT REALLY ME TYPES OF MAJOR CATASTROPHIC EVENTS THAT I JUST MENTIONED.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE OFFICER? UM, YOU'VE BEEN IN HERE IN THE DISTRICT BEFORE YOU BECAME A SAFE OFFICER, RIGHT? CORRECT.
SO YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH OH, YES, SIR.
UH, DICK HILLS, GOVERNMENT HILLS ALL THE WAY? YES, SIR.
EVEN BEFORE THE, UH, DISTRICT ALIGNMENT.
NOW, WAS IT EVER PRESENTED TO THE HOMEOWNER THAT HE COULD SIGN A NO TRESPASSER AND YOU GUYS CAN ARREST WHOEVER'S NOT AUTHORIZED ON THE PROPERTY OR NO, I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER MET THE OWNER.
UH, UM, OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW MR. DE LA GARZA THAT'S HERE TODAY, BUT I'VE LIKE, UH, THE DP SANTANA OFFICER CODE OFFICER SANTANA
[00:25:01]
SAID, I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER MADE CONTACT WITH THE OWNER EVEN ON PATROL.SO YOU'RE JUST STOPPING WHEN THERE'S PROBLEMS WHEN YOU'RE CALLING? YES, WHEN OBVIOUSLY WHEN SOMEONE CALLS AND RE OBVIOUSLY US, WE GO AND WE, UH, WE ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
UM, BUT IN THIS CASE, OBVIOUSLY WE'VE, THE FIRE, THE, UH, THE THREE SHOOTINGS THAT HAD CAME OUT AND OBVIOUSLY THE BURGLARIES AND THEN ALSO THE DISTURBANCES AS WELL.
JAMES DE LA GARZA, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
AND SIR, IF YOU WOULD AGAIN, STATE YOUR NAME AND THE DISTRICT COUNCIL DISTRICT THAT YOU RESIDE IN, PLEASE.
UH, WELL NOT I LIVE, I I, THAT'S THE HOUSE I'M TRYING TO REDO AND I GUESS IT'S A DISTRICT TOO.
UH, MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN SINCE THE HOUSE HAS BURNED DOWN WAS THE HOUSE WAS NOT UNDER MY NAME, IT WAS UNDER MY SISTER'S NAME.
AND SHE DID A, A, WELL, A PROBATE THING AND LEFT IT TO ME AND MY TWO SISTERS.
THEY JUST RECENTLY SIGNED IT OVER TO ME, SO I'M TRANSFERRING IT TO MY NAME.
AND BECAUSE I COULDN'T TRANSFER BEFORE, I COULDN'T HIRE THE CONTRACTORS.
I HIRED THE ELECTRICIAN, HE DID THE OUTSIDE.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THE INSIDE.
BUT THEN WE GOT STOPPED BECAUSE THEY SAID, UH, THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT THE NEED TO HAVE FIRE DAMAGE CHECKED.
WELL, WE HAD HAD THAT DONE EARLIER AND THE FIRE MARSHAL SAID, GO AHEAD AND START DOING THE WORK.
SO WE CALLED THE FIRE MARSHAL THAT TOOK ANOTHER COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE HE CAME BACK AND HE TOLD US HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE STOPPING US FROM DOING THE WORK.
SO I CAME OVER, I CALLED THE ELECTRICIAN BACK, HE TRIED TO PULL A PERMIT.
THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T LET HIM.
I CAME AND TALKED TO HIM, TOLD HIM THAT I WAS, WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH WAS TRYING TO GET THE HOUSE UNDER MY NAME.
SO I WENT TO ONE OF THE CLASSES THEY HAVE HERE AND IT SAYS THAT, UH, WE COULD HIRE SOMEONE WITH A LLC TO PULL PERMITS.
SO I HIRED, I GOT A COUPLE GUYS WITH LLCS AND THEY TOLD THEM THAT THEY COULDN'T PULL IT, THAT I HAD TO PULL IT, THE OWNER.
WELL, AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHERE I'M AT RIGHT NOW.
I'VE GOT THE ELECTRICIAN, THE PLUMBER, AND THE ROOFER WAITING FOR ME TO GET THE CLEARANCE SO THEY CAN DO THE WORK.
AND ONCE I START GETTING THAT DONE, I'M MOVING BACK TO BROOKS AND I'M GONNA MAKE SURE NO ONE ELSE GOES THERE THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE.
AND I'M GETTING READY TO RETIRE AND THAT'S WHERE I WANT TO BE MY RETIREMENT HOME.
YOU KNOW, I GREW UP AT THAT HOUSE AND I JUST WANNA SPEND THE REST OF MY TIME THERE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH US IN TERMS OF YOUR FINANCIAL ABILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THAT ARE REQUIRED? UH, AS FAR AS, UH, MY, MY CHECKING SAVINGS, I HAVE $60,000 IN THERE FOR, TO SPEND ON THIS.
AND, UH, THE ELECTRICIAN'S GONNA RUN ME 9,000.
HE SAID, UH, THE PLUMBER SAYS HE CAN'T LET ME KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA COST UNTIL HE CHECKS IT, BUT HE DOESN'T THINK IT'LL BE MUCH.
AND AS FAR AS THE REST OF THE STUFF, UH, IT'S A BRICK HOUSE.
SO THE, THE FIRE MARSHAL SAID IT WAS STRUCTURALLY SAFE.
THERE IS SOME ROOF THAT, SOME WOOD THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED ON THE ROOF.
HE SAYS A LOT OF IT WAS SMOKE DAMAGE AND FAR AS THE SHEET ROCK AND ALL THAT, THAT WAS WATER DAMAGE FROM FIGHTING THE FIRE.
AND, UH, I WAS HOPING THAT MAYBE I COULD DO THE SHEET ROCK WORK.
AND, UH, THERE'S SOME STUFF THAT'S OFF.
THAT'S THAT YOU LOOKED AT THE BACK ROOM, THE THE SHEET ROCK WAS OFF.
WELL, WE WERE TOLD TO TAKE IT OFF SO THEY COULD CHECK THE STUDS ON THERE.
AND THEN I WAS TOLD I CAN'T DO ANY MORE WORK TO IT, EVEN THOUGH I WANTED TO PUT THE SHEET LOCK BACK ON YOUR SHEET LOCK.
SO EVERYTHING'S PENDING ON ME GETTING THE, THE OWNERSHIP OF THE HOUSE AND HIRING THE CONTRACTORS.
UH, HOW FREQUENTLY HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO THE FIRE MARSHAL? UH, I THINK THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO 'EM WAS, IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND THAT'S WHEN I TRIED TO HIRE THE ELECTRICIAN BACK,
[00:30:01]
ELECTRICIAN MOVED ON AND HE DIDN'T WANNA DO IT ANYMORE.DID YOU ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE FIRE MARSHAL OR DID UH, HE JUST COME BY? NO, I CONTACTED HIM.
ANY REASON WHY YOU CONTACTED THE FIRE MARSHAL INSTEAD OF A CODE OFFICER? BECAUSE, UH, ELECTRICIAN STOPPED THE WORK, THE ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR, WHEN THEY WENT TO CHECK THE OUTSIDE PANEL.
AND I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE NEW PANEL THEY PUT ON, BUT IT'S ON MY PHONE.
WE DON'T WORK THAT WELL TOGETHER.
SO I HAVE, WAS TRYING TO, UH, UH, THE, THE INSPECTOR SAID THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE HOUSE CHECKED AGAIN AS FAR AS THE, THE FIRE DAMAGE, HAVE THE FIRE MARSHAL.
SO THEN I CALLED THE FIRE MARSHAL, HE CAME AND HE SAYS, I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE'S, HE GOES AS FAR AS THE ROOF AND HE GOES, YOU GOTTA HAVE THE ROOFER DO THE ROOF AND CHANGE SOME OF THE, THE, THE, THE STUDS THAT ARE UP THERE.
AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
AND WHAT TIMEFRAME DID YOUR SISTER TELL YOU THAT SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO SIGN THE PAPERWORK FOR CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP? SHE ALREADY, SHE ALREADY SIGNED IT.
DO YOU HAVE THAT WITH YOU? OH, EXCUSE ME, IT'S ON THE SCREEN.
I HAVE TWO SISTERS AND THIS INDICATES IT WAS SIGNED IN 2016.
WHAT'S THAT? THAT WAS THE LAST RULING AND TESTAMENT.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS FRED ANDES.
YOU STATED WHEN THEY ASKED FOR RESIDENCE THAT YOU WANNA MOVE BACK IN.
WHERE'S YOUR RESIDENCE RIGHT NOW? RIGHT NOW I'M AT, UH, ON UH, FENNEL STREET IN VANCE JACKSON.
YEAH, THAT'S THE RESIDENCE YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT IN.
NOT THIS, THAT'S THE RESIDENCE, RIGHT? I'M LIVING AT NOW.
ALSO, THE FIRE MARSHAL CAME OUT TWICE.
DID YOU ASK FOR THE REPORT OF IT? TO SHOW CPS? AND THAT'S, HE SAID HE WAS GONNA LOG IT IN TWICE.
HE SAID HE LOGGED IT IN, BUT IF NOBODY'S ASKING FOR IT, IT'S STILL LOGGED IN.
YOU COULD HAVE BROUGHT THAT HERE, VINDICATED THE HOUSE ISSUES.
BUT WHEN IT'S A VERBAL, THE CPS DOESN'T CHASE THAT DOWN.
SO THE WRITTEN NOTES OF BOTH CASES YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN.
SO YOU COULD GIVE CPS SO THEY COULD CONTINUE TO WORK IF THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS.
WELL, WHEN WE ASKED HE SAID, WELL, HE'S GONNA GO PUT IT IN THE COMPUTER.
I DIDN'T THINK THAT I HAD TO GO, WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FILE THAT.
SO IT'S JUST LIKE, JUST BECAUSE THEY PUT IT IN THE COMPUTER, IT'S NOT GONNA REACH THIS AGENCY OR THAT AGENCY.
IT'S IN THE FIRE MARSHAL'S COMPUTER.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY, THEY'RE NOT TIED LIKE THAT TO WHERE IT GOES TO ALL.
IT'S ONLY SO GET, YOU COULD HAVE GOT THAT FOR, UH, TO BACK THIS STATEMENT UP HERE THAT YOU WENT AND DID IT AND COMPLIED WITH WHAT YOU WERE ASKED TO DO BEFORE YOU COULD GO FORTH.
NOW YOUR INTENT IS TO REBUILD OR RE YEAH, REBUILD WHATEVER'S DAMAGED TO INCLUDE ROOF AND ALL THAT.
ELECTRICITY'S ALREADY BEEN PARTIALLY DONE.
THE, THE OUTSIDE, THE SERVICE DROP IS DONE ON THE ELECTRICAL, BUT I NEED TO DO THE INSIDE AND THAT.
AND THE ENGINEER'S REPORT WASN'T PROVIDED FOR STRUCTURE.
A FARM MARSHAL'S REPORT WAS SOMEWHERE OUT THERE.
THEY ENGINEER COST OF WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE A, UH, ITEMIZED CONTRACTORS HAS TO BE DONE.
AND NONE OF THAT WAS BROUGHT HERE.
THE CODE COMPLIANCE LEFT YOU A PACKET? CORRECT.
OF WHAT STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN NOW, UH, WHEN THAT OR YOU HAVE NOT MET THE COLI? I WENT, I WENT BY AND I JUST PICKED UP A THING AND THEY JUST REALLY DIDN'T SAY WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE OTHER THAN THE ROOF, THE ELECTRICAL, AND THE WINDOWS AND DOORS.
THERE'S PLUMBING THAT'S MISSING IN THERE.
WELL, THE PLUMBING, I'M SORRY, JUST SAID THE PLUMBING.
AND ALSO I HAD, UH, THE PLUMBER WAITING ALSO.
HE'S, THEY'RE THE ONES JUST WAITING FOR ME TO GIVE, TO GET THE OKAY TO DO THE, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT KEEP GOING BACK THERE.
THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A CITIZEN TO, UH, AT THE POLICE STATION TO SIGN A DO NOT TRESPASS AND THEY'LL MAINTAIN THAT THEY CAN ARREST ANYBODY ON THE PROPERTY WHO'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.
HAVE YOU WENT TO DO THAT? NO, I DIDN'T DO THAT.
[00:35:01]
TODAY, BUT I, UH, WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD, 'CAUSE I'M NOT THE OWNER.I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ALLOWED TO DO.
WELL THIS WILL TESTAMENT YOU INVOKED IT WHEN YOUR SISTER PASSED, RIGHT? WELL, MY SISTER WAS SUPPOSED TO.
I'M JUST SAYING IT'S BEEN INVOKED BECAUSE SHE'S PASSED.
SO IT DOES STATE YOU AS A OWNER, CORRECT? WELL, THAT'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO, YES.
SO, BUT RIGHT NOW IT SAYS THAT, UH, MY SISTER YVONNE IS STILL THE OWNER NOW.
WE WENT THROUGH TO GET THEM TO SIGN THE PAPER OVER AND THEN THEY TOLD MY FRIEND THAT HE NEEDED, UH, TO HAVE MY FATHER'S DEATH CERTIFICATE.
AND SO WE HAD PROBLEMS FINDING THAT.
'CAUSE WE THOUGHT HE DIED HERE, BUT HE ENDED UP, I MEAN, I WAS, UH, IN THE SIXTH GRADE WHEN HE PASSED AWAY, ENDED UP AT, HE DIED AT THE VA HOSPITAL IN CURVILLE.
SO WE JUST FOUND OUT, MY FRIEND WENT TO GET THE DEATH CERTIFICATE AND WITH THAT, HE WAS GONNA TURN THAT INTO THE PROBATE COURT.
SO YOU'RE DOING THIS WITHOUT YOUR SISTER'S CONSENT? WHAT'S THAT? YOU'RE DOING THE WORK IN THERE WITHOUT YOUR SISTER'S CONSENT? THEY KNEW THEY WERE TALKING TO ME.
BUT THEY, UH, THEY, I HAD THEIR OKAY TO DO IT.
AND THEY JUST SIGNED, DID THE PAPERWORK TO SIGN IT TO ME.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? ANNE, GO AHEAD.
I, I'M JUST CURIOUS, HAVE YOU GOTTEN A, A TOTAL SCOPE OF WORK WITH PRICES FOR THIS? YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR SAVINGS AND YOUR CHECKING, BUT THIS IS ALMOST A REBUILD, RIGHT? IT'S A ROOF.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT THE, THE PRICE FROM THE ELECTRICIAN.
BUT THERE'S, THERE'S WAY MORE THAN ELECTRICITY AND I'M GETTING THE PRICE FROM THE, FROM THE ROOFERS AND THEN THE PRICE FROM THE PLUMBER.
UH, THIS IS ROBERT BGE, I THINK.
WHAT? AND THEN, UH, BUT BECAUSE NO ONE CAN GO IN THERE.
WE CAN'T, THEY CAN'T GO CHECK.
I HAD A PRICE EARLIER FROM ANOTHER ROOFER, BUT BECAUSE WE WERE PUT ON HOLD, HE WENT OUTTA STATE.
I THINK WHAT MS. WEINER'S GETTING AT IS THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE PROGRESS.
THE ELECTRICIAN, THE PLUMBER, THE ROOFER, YOU CAN'T GET IN THERE, BUT YOU NEED SHEET ROCK GUYS, YOU NEED FRAMERS.
YOU NEED, I, I CAN'T HEAR YOU EVEN WITH MY HEARING AIDS, I APOLOGIZE.
CAN YOU HEAR ME BETTER? CAN YOU HEAR ME BETTER? OH, YEAH.
SO I THINK WHAT SHE'S GETTING AT IS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE WORKING ON THE ROOF OR THE PLUMBING, THE ELECTRICIAN, BUT YOU NEED DRYWALL GUYS, TILE GUYS, CABINET GUYS, FLOORING GUYS, FRAMERS.
I MEAN, YOU NEED A, YOU NEED A FULL SERVICE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AT THIS POINT.
WELL, WITH THE, AS FAR AS THE FRAMING AND STUFF, MOST OF THAT IS JUST, UH, FROM, IT'S LIKE, UH, FIVE OR SIX BOARDS THAT NEED TO GET REPLACED.
AS FAR AS THE ROOFING, WE'RE DOING THE WHOLE, THEY'RE GONNA PUT NEW, UH, PLYWOOD ON TOP.
SO THEY'RE TAKING THE OLD PLYWOOD OFF, PUTTING NEW PLYWOOD ON, PUTTING THE NEW ROOFING MATERIAL AND WHATEVER STUDS THAT ARE, THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED, THEY'RE GONNA CHANGE.
I MEAN, LOOKING AT THESE PICTURES, THERE'S, WELL, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO PICK ON YOU, BUT THERE'S WAY MORE THAN FIVE OR SIX BOARDS THAT ARE GONNA HAVE TO GET REPLACED.
IF THAT WAS MY HOUSE AND I LIVE THERE, OR AS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, IF I WAS HELPING YOU, I WOULD ADVISE YOU THAT ALMOST THE WHOLE HOUSE NEEDS TO GET REFRAMED.
IF THERE'S SMOKE DAMAGE AND THOSE STUDS ARE TORN UP LOOKING AT SOME OF THESE PICTURES, UM, I, I JUST CAN'T SEE HOW IT'S FIVE OR SIX WARDS.
WELL, LIKE I SAY, THE, THE ROOF IS DOING THE WHOLE, WELL, THE SHEATHING AND EVERYTHING, LIKE HIGHWOOD THING.
I, SO THAT'S GETTING REPLACED AND WHATEVER STUDS, HE SAYS MOST OF THAT IS SMOKE BURNT.
HE SAYS IT'S NOT REALLY FIRE, IT'S JUST SMOKE.
DO YOU PLAN TO DOUBLE UP PIGGYBACK THOSE STUDS? PIGGY PUT TWO TOGETHER LIKE THIS TO SUPPORT THAT POTENTIALLY DAMAGE.
ONE OF THE STUDS IF THERE'S A SMOKE STUD HERE, RIGHT, YOU'D NEED TO PUT A NEW STUD NEXT TO IT TO THEN SUPPORT THAT IN CASE I GAVE AWAY FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE ENGINEER WOULD HELP YOU OUT AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE CONTRACTOR.
I THINK YOU PROBABLY ARE GONNA NEED AN ENGINEER INVOLVED AT SOME POINT, RIGHT? RIGHT.
UH, HE SAYS HE WAS, WELL, HE TOLD ME HE WOULD FIX IT TO BRING IT UP TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT UP AS FAR AS CODE.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I HAD A FOLLOW UP.
IS THAT HOUSE INSULATED, SIR? IS THE HOUSE INSULATED? DOES THAT HAVE INSULATION? THERE'S NO INSULATION.
SO ALL THE WALLS ARE GONNA HAVE TO COME DOWN.
NO, RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOT NO INSULATION.
YEAH, SO THAT'S PART OF THE PROCESS TOO, SO THAT, YOU KNOW, A FEW BOARDS ISN'T
[00:40:01]
GONNA HAVE WALLS HAVE TO COME DOWN, SO INSULATION CAN BE PUT IN THOSE WALLS AND THE CEILING WHEN YOU GET DONE THE OUTSIDE OF THE WALL, IT'S ON BRICK.SO HOW DO WE PUT IN IT DOESN'T MATTER.
ENERGY CODE BASED ON TODAY'S BUILDING STANDARDS, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY UP TO COME POINT, POINT OF ORDER, GENTLEMEN.
UNDERSTAND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, POINT OF ORDER.
UH, WE ARE NOT HERE TO PROVIDE ADVICE AND INFORMATION AS SUCH.
WE ARE HERE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PROPERTY IS INDEED A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE OR DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE.
SO PLEASE WITHHOLD YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS IN TERMS OF REPAIR.
UH, YOUR BRICK EXTERIOR, THOSE STEP CRACKS IN IT.
THE STEP CRACKS IN THE EXTERIOR.
THAT STEP CRACKS A PRETTY WIDE CRACK.
IT'S NOT LIKE SOMETHING MINOR.
DID YOU HAVE A MASONRY? LOOK AT IT.
I WAS GONNA HAVE EVERYONE TAKE A LOOK AT IT, SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I'M GONNA, LIKE I SAID, RIGHT NOW I CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I'M NOT ALLOWED TO AND I DON'T WANT TO PUSH IT ANY FURTHER THAN WE HAVE.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? PAUL HAND IS HERE.
UH, HOW SECURE IS THE BUILDING ON THIS DAY? I THINK WE SAW THAT IT WAS SECURED ON ON FEBRUARY 2ND.
IS THERE ANYBODY LIVING IN THERE NOW? THERE'S NO ONE LIVING IN THERE.
IS IT BOARDED UP COMPLETELY? I GO, IT'S BOARDED UP.
I GO AND I NOTICE ONE BOARD IS SHIFTED.
IT'S, I PUT IT THE FULL LENGTH THAT THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WENT, IT WAS SIDEWAYS.
IT'S AN NAIL, BUT IT WAS SIDEWAYS.
SO I, I'M GOING BY AND CHECKING.
MAKE SURE NO ONE'S, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING THERE AT NIGHT IF ANYONE'S GOING THERE AT NIGHT.
UM, HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH THE CODE OFFICER AT ALL? I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO HER, ASKING HER QUESTIONS AND THEN I, UH, GOT STRANDED WITH, WITH TRYING TO GET THE PAPERWORK TO GET THE HOUSE UNDER MY NAME.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN YOU'RE HERE IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD, WE ARE AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE AT THIS JUNCTURE WHERE IT'S ALMOST THE LAST, LAST CALL HERE.
SO WHEN YOU COME HERE AND IF THIS BOARD GRANTS YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA ASK HOW MUCH TIME YOU NEED, I THINK, UM, YOU ARE GONNA NEED TO HAVE EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR THIS BOARD.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS SIR? YOU MAY BE SEATED.

ELIZABETH ROD ROGERS, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE STADIUM, EXCUSE ME, THE PODIUM.
STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
HI, UH, MY NAME'S ELIZABETH ROGERS.
UM, I LIVE, UH, I DON'T LIVE AT THAT PROPERTY.
I LIVE AT 8 3 5 9 BENT WATERS.
I LIVE AT 8 3 5 9 BENT WATERS.
UM, IT'S ABOUT FOUR MILES AWAY FROM THAT PROPERTY.
THAT'S WHY YOU GUYS HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY, ANYTHING BACK FROM HIM.
UM, HE JUST HIRED ME TO TAKE CARE OF A FEW OF HIS PROPERTIES.
HE HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE SQUATTING OVER THERE, UM, NOT PAYING THEIR RENT AND HIS BROTHER WAS, WAS HANDLING EVERYTHING FOR HIM.
BUT, UM, MIKE
UM, IT'S AN AUTO MECHANIC SHOP, SO THEY HAVEN'T HAD TIME DUE TO HIS HEART PROBLEMS TO HELP CARRY ANYMORE WITH HIS PROPERTIES.
UM, THIS HAPPENED BACK IN NOVEMBER.
UM, THE FIRE MARSHAL SAID THAT THERE WAS NO, UM, UH, THERE WASN'T ANY FOUL PLAY, BUT I MEAN, THERE WAS A MATTRESS IN THE BACKYARD WITH, UH, GAS CANS.
SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW, UH, ANYWAYS, UM, CARRIE, CARRIE WANTS TO REBUILD THE PLACE.
UM, WE'VE ONLY HAD A FEW MONTHS, BUT WHAT I'M, WHAT I'M UNDER THE IMPRESSION OF IS WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ANYTHING WITHOUT GETTING PERMITS FROM YOU.
SO I HAD TO WAIT TO SEE HOW MUCH MONEY THAT HE HAD IN THE BANK TO SEE IF HE WAS GONNA BE ABLE TO FIX IT.
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND A, UM, UH, FROM THE BANK A STATEMENT SO THAT YOU GUYS KNOW THAT HE DOES HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT.
UM, HE DOES GET RENT FROM THE OTHER TWO PROPERTIES THAT HE OWNS.
UM, AND, BUT WE'VE ONLY HAD, WHAT, FOUR MONTHS SINCE THE FIRE.
SO WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO GET EVERYTHING DONE.
AND I DON'T WANNA DO ANYTHING THAT'S NOT LEGAL.
UM, THERE WAS A BUNCH OF TRASH AND IT, IT DID LOOK REALLY BAD.
I UNDERSTAND THE GARAGE THAT'S GOTTA COME DOWN, THE WHOLE THING.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOUSE, THE FIRE DAMAGE IS PRETTY MUCH THE GARAGE IS IS TOTALLY CHARRED OFF.
WE CAN, WE CAN CUT THAT OFF IF WE'RE ALLOWED TO, UM, DEMO ALL THAT, GET THAT ALL PULLED AWAY AND THEN A ROOFER.
WE HAVE A ROOFER THAT CAN COME IN AND FIX ALL THOSE.
THE WHOLE ROOF BASICALLY IS GONNA HAVE TO BE REPLACED.
UM, BUT I DID GET, UM, UH, SOMEONE THAT LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME THAT WE COULD PROBABLY GET IT TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY FIXED FOR ABOUT 40 GRAND AS LONG AS WE DON'T WANNA PUT THE, THE GARAGE BACK UP.
SO I'M JUST ASKING IF YOU COULD GIVE US MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO WE DON'T HAVE PROBLEMS. THERE'S NOBODY SQUATTING THERE.
I MAKE SURE THAT THE, THE NEIGHBOR GLORIA, SHE HAS A CAMERA ON IT.
NOBODY EVEN COMES OVER THERE ANYMORE.
THERE'S NOT PEOPLE, IT'S NOT DANGEROUS AND UNLESS, I MEAN YOU'RE, YOU'RE GOING UNDERNEATH THE, THE GARAGE, BUT NOBODY SHOULD BE IN THERE ANYWAY.
UM, I'M JUST ASKING MAYBE IF WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO PULL THE PERMITS AND GET THAT WORKED ON.
I MEAN, I'M NOT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
I AM HOPING THAT MAYBE WE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.
'CAUSE THE GUY HAS BEEN IN PRISON FOR 17 YEARS.
UM, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
UM, AND HE'S PROBABLY GONNA BE THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME MORE.
WHO WAS PRO, EXCUSE ME, WHO WAS PROVIDING THE QUOTES FOR YOU AGAIN PLEASE? UM, HIS NAME WAS WILL SUITER.
UM, HE'S A, A CONTRACTOR IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
AND THE, THE TOTAL QUOTE, IT WAS HOW MUCH? THE TOTAL QUOTE WAS $39,060, I BELIEVE FOR, FOR EVERYTHING.
THAT'S INCLUDING TAKING THE, THE, THE STRUCTURE FROM THE GARAGE DOWN.
UM, ELECTRIC, IT'S A FRIEND OF MINE, SO I CAN, I CAN, HE DOES IT FOR A BETTER PRICE THAN PROBABLY NORMAL, BUT IT WAS 39,060 WAS WHAT HE QUOTED.
I INTERRUPTED YOU SO GO AHEAD.
IT'S OKAY WITH YOUR TESTIMONY IF YOU'VE GOT ANYTHING ELSE, UM, I'M JUST ASKING IF YOU COULD GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO I, I KNOW I HAVE TO GET THE PERMITS DONE.
UM, AND WE HAVE TO TAKE DOWN, UM, THE GARAGE.
I JUST, I I WASN'T FAMILIAR EXACTLY WITH HOW THE STEPS WERE TO DO IT, BUT I AM NOW.
SO I'M TRYING TO DO THAT SO THAT WE CAN GET IT TAKEN CARE OF IF WE COULD JUST HAVE A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO, TO PROVE THAT WE CAN DO IT.
AND AGAIN, YOUR LEGAL OWNERSHIP IS WHAT? I'M, I'M NOT THE OWNER.
[01:00:01]
ANG IS THE OWNER.UH, HE HIRED ME TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BECAUSE I GUESS HIS BROTHER, UM, MIKE ANG WAS IN CHARGE OF ALL HIS STUFF.
UM, HE DIDN'T, HE HAS A LOT OF HEART PROBLEMS. HE'S GOT HIS OWN SHOP AND HIM AND HIS WIFE AREN'T ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF IT ANYMORE.
SO, UH, I HAVE PEOPLE THAT CAN FIX IT UP.
UM, WE WANNA MAKE IT INTO A, A, YOU KNOW, SAFE LIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR SOMEBODY WE'RE HOPING TO IT.
I MEAN, THE PROPERTY IS REALLY NICE.
IT, IT USED TO BE A REALLY NICE HOUSE.
WE WE'RE HOPING TO MAKE IT THAT, AGAIN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES, HALF OF THE HOUSE, UH, IT'S, IT'S BURNT FROM THE GARAGE BASICALLY IS WHAT'S BURNT.
AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF THE KITCHEN, UM, THAT, THAT, THAT SHEET ROCK OR DRYWALL RIGHT THERE, WE CAN, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE A LOT TO FIX.
AND THE ROOFER, WE, WE CAN HAVE HIM COME OUT AND IT CAN BE SAFE, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS YOU LET US WORK ON IT.
BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE A ROOFER QUOTE SPECIFIC, IS THAT CORRECT? UM, THAT'S, THAT'S IN, THAT'S IN THE 39,000.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, THIS IS ROBERT BING.
DO YOU BY CHANCE HAPPEN TO HAVE THAT QUOTE WITH YOU TODAY FOR THAT 39,000 THAT YOU COULD PRESENT TO US BY CHANCE? I CAN MAYBE HAVE HIM SEND IT TO ME.
IF YOU GIVE US LIKE FIVE MINUTES, I CAN GO CALL HIM.
I, I REALLY, I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS COURT ALL THE, SEE THE, THE GUY THAT WAS OVER THERE WHEN, WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE, THE PROPERTY, HE, THE PEOPLE THAT WERE LIVING THERE, THEY SHOVED SOME STUFF DOWN THE PLUMBING.
SO WE HAD A GUY WORKING OVER THERE.
BUT, UM, I GUESS ALL THESE NOTICES THAT WERE BEING PUT UP, I, I JUST GOT HIM THREE DAYS AGO.
I, AND I'M LIKE, OH, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I CONTACTED CARRIE, HE SAID HE GOT SOMETHING IN THE MAIL.
I'M LIKE, WELL, WHAT DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? WELL, I WANT YOU TO GO TO COURT.
OKAY, WELL WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY IN COURT? 'CAUSE YOU KNOW, I GOTTA KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND WHAT TO DO.
SO I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING A HUNDRED PERCENT KNOWLEDGEABLE ON EVERYTHING I'M SUPPOSED TO DO, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, TO DO YOU GOOD, ROBERT.
UM, SO YOU'RE BASICALLY THE AGENT NOW? YES, SIR.
DO YOU HAVE IN WRITING THE FACT THAT HE GAVE YOU I HAVE IT A, UH, HE WROTE IT OVER SECURUS.
IT'S AN APP THAT THEY HAVE IN THE PRISON.
WELL, WE, WE NEED TO LET THE COUNCIL SEE THAT TO SEE IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY A LEGITIMATE OKAY.
CAN I TAKE YEAH, ACTUALLY AS LONG AS YOU GIVE IT TO THEM AND YES SIR.
YEAH, BUT THAT, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE REPRESENT, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO GO BY.
UM, ALSO YOU RECEIVED INFORMATION BECAUSE I SAW IT IN THERE TOO.
BUT HE REACHED OUT TO YOU AND DID YOU GET THE INFORMATION THROUGH HIM OR DID YOU GET A DOCUMENT SAYING TO BE HERE? I WAS DELIVERED WHEN I WAS AT WORK.
SOMEONE DELIVERED A, I CAN SHOW YOU THE PAPERS THAT I GOT.
THEY, THEY GAVE ME PAPERWORK SAYING THAT, UM, THERE WAS GONNA BE A COURT DATE.
AND THEN CARRIE CONTACTED ME BECAUSE I, I WASN'T SURE WHAT IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO DO.
UM, I TOLD HIM, THEY'RE GONNA TEAR DOWN YOUR HOUSE.
HE SAID, WELL, WHY WE CAN FIX IT.
I SAID, WELL, WE GOTTA FIX IT NOW.
I TOLD YOU, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANNA LEAVE IT SITTING LIKE THAT, THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA TAKE IT DOWN AND THEN CHARGE YOU FOR IT.
SO IF YOU COULD, UH, SHOW THAT TO OUR COUNSEL AND WE'LL, IF YOU'RE ACTING AS THE AGENT YES SIR.
THEN YOU HAVE A CONTRACT STATING THAT MM-HMM
THEN YOU CAN SPEAK ON BEHALF OF HIM ALL THE TIME.
BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT, THEN UNDERSTOOD, SIR, AND THEN WE'LL RESUME QUESTIONING.
I GOT A COUPLE OF MORE AFTER YOU TURN THAT OVER TO COUNSEL.
UM, MAY I SHOW YOU IT AND WHILE HE'S REVIEWING THAT, UM, YOUR CONTRACTOR? I'M NOT NO.
THE GUY THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO IS YOUR CONTRACTOR RIGHT NOW? YES.
SO I'M GONNA REFER TO THAT AS THE GUY YOU IS YOUR CONTRACTOR? YES, SIR.
FOR THE ESTIMATE THEY GAVE YOU, ONE GUY GAVE YOU THE ESTIMATE FOR ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE MM-HMM
THAT THAT'S WHAT UNDER HIS, UM, OPINION.
WELL, THAT, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
HE GAVE YOU FOR ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND AS ANOTHER CONTRACTOR HERE AND MYSELF AND AT THE END HERE, IT NORMALLY HE'S NOT GONNA BE 30 WHATEVER THOUSAND.
UM, THERE HAS BEEN NO MEANS TO SECURE THE PROPERTY FROM THE BROTHER BEFORE YOU CAME IN, CORRECT? UM, NO.
WELL, FROM ONE OF THE, YOU CAN'T SECURE A BIG OLD BACK WALL.
[01:05:01]
I WAS TOLD I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GO ONTO THE PROPERTY.UM, SO I DIDN'T, NO, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO ON THERE AS LONG AS YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING LIKE A SECURITY WHERE YOU PUT IT ON WINDOWS AND STUFF BECAUSE THAT'S MITIGATING DAMAGES TO THE PROPERTY.
IF YOU'RE, IF CITY DOES IT, THEN THEY CHARGE YOU, YOU RIGHT.
BUT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO AND BOARD UP THE PROPERTY.
NOW NATURALLY THE BACK WALL CAN'T BE, 'CAUSE IT'S BURNED, BUT THE DOOR LEADING TO THE HOUSE CAN BE THAT THE INSIDE WAS BOARDED UP.
SO YOU MUST THE, YEAH, SO THAT'S PART OF THE DEAL TOO.
IF YOU'RE, IF THE PERSON HASN'T BEEN DOING THAT AND THERE'S BEEN RIFFRAFF ON THE PROPERTY MM-HMM
THEN WELL THERE'S NO RIFF RAFF SINCE IT'S SINCE IT.
AND YOU WANNA KEEP THAT ALSO CODE HAS RECEIVED A FIRE REPORT.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT? UM, NO.
I JUST KNEW OF WHAT THE FIRE MARSHAL TOLD ME WHEN I CAME ONTO THE SCENE.
SO YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED TO GET THAT AS WELL.
BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE IN THERE MAY A LOT MORE THAN WHAT YOU SEE MAY BE IN THE REPORT, SO.
AND I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S MM-HMM
PRETTY MUCH GIVES YOU UNTIL, SO WE'LL STILL FRAME AS AGENT RIGHT NOW, UM, YOU'RE ACTING AND YOU JUST GOT THE NOTIFICATIONS AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR TIME FOR ALL THE DOCUMENTS YOU NEED TO BE BROUGHT.
OKAY, THEN I, I THINK I'VE GOT THE FULL PICTURE.
THERE IS, YOU'RE IN HERE BECAUSE YOU, OKAY.
UH, AND THEN WE'LL WAIT FOR THE COUNSEL.
'CAUSE I, THAT'S THE CATCH ON EVERYTHING.
IF YOU, YOU MAY BE A FAMILY MEMBER, DON'T HAVE ACCESS, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.
NO, BECAUSE IT'S SENT TO THE, IT'S THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE PROPERTY THAT WE DEAL WITH.
I JUST, I NEEDED TO, UM, TALK TO A FEW PEOPLE TO FIND OUT YEAH.
AND, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE THE REPRESENTATIVE BEFORE.
THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT.
THAT'S, THAT'S, I JUST, I IT JUST OPENED UP.
YOU, IF IT GOES IN THE DIRECTION WHERE YOU GET THE, THE, UH, CO CO COMPLIANCE WILL, WILL, WILL GUIDE YOU COUNSEL.
IS IT LEGAL? SHE CAN BE AGENT.
BUT WHEN THAT STEP COMES, THEN WE'LL GUIDE YOU TO WHERE OH, GOOD.
DID YOU NORMALLY TALK OUT TO THE CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER? ONCE THIS IS RESOLVED, YOU STILL TALK TO CODE COMPLIANCE.
FOR THIS AND, UM, I WAS TOLD THAT THE, I'M SORRY, WE CAN'T ACCEPT QUESTIONS.
SO WE'LL JUST SIT RIGHT NOW AND LET COUNSEL MAKE THE YEAH, IT'S, GO AHEAD.
I, I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT, I WAS READING THE CODE OFFICER'S REPORT AND THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE WITH THE DOG.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA ASK ABOUT.
SO YOU, IF THEY COULD, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE OR NO.
I WOULD, I WAS GONNA ASK HER FOR A DESCRIPTION, UM, TO SEE IF IT WAS MAYBE THE PERSON THAT WAS WORKING ON IT BEFORE IT GOT BURNT.
UM, 'CAUSE WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT, WHO DID THAT? WHAT HAPPENED? THERE WAS A, A PREVIOUS TENANT THAT WAS SEEN ON THE PORCH THAT MORNING BY THE NEIGHBORS, BUT THAT'S HEARSAY.
SO I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS HOUSE.
WELL, AS I SAID, AT THE END OF THIS, YOU'LL STILL TALK TO CO COMPLIANCE WHEN YOU GO OUT AND SHE'LL GIVE YOU THE GUIDANCE AND STUFF.
AND IF SHE HAS THE INFORMATION, SHE I WOULD, I WOULD ASK THE BOARD TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ASKING QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE THE STATUS OF THE BUILDING ITSELF.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE BOARD? VERY GOOD.
WE'LL WAIT FOR A LEGAL REVIEW.
YOU WANNA TAKE A BREAK? HMM, TAKE A BREAK.
YOU NEED A BREAK? PLEASE? STILL READ INTO IT.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? THIS IS FELIX RAMIREZ WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE.
UM, WE WOULD NEED A WRITTEN POWER OF ATTORNEY SPECIFIC TO ANY AUTHORIZATION THAT SHE WOULD HAVE, ALTHOUGH SHE CAN SPEAK TO THE BOARD AS SHE HAS REGARDING WHAT CAN BE DONE OR WHAT THEY INTEND TO DO.
AND THE BOARD CAN CONSIDER THAT.
UM, NOT PREPARED AT THIS TIME BASED ON WHAT WAS SHOWN TO SAY SHE'S LEGALLY AUTHORIZED
[01:10:01]
AS THE PROPERTY MANAGER.ALL RIGHT, MA'AM, YOU UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING COUNSEL SAID? YES, SIR.
DO YOU HAVE A POWER OF ATTORNEY? UH, NOT IN MY HAND, BUT I COULD GET ONE IF YOU GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
SO COUNSEL, CAN WE STILL USE HER IN THE DEFINES OF AGENT? SHE'S BY THAT, BUT SHE STILL NEEDS TO FOLLOW UP WITH A DOCUMENT, CORRECT? CORRECT.
SO WE CAN STILL, YOU CAN LISTEN.
AS SHE HAS SPOKEN AS TO WHAT CAN BE DONE OR IS PROPOSED TO BE DONE FOR THE PROPERTY PER THE OWNER, SINCE HE'S IN PRISON, UH, YOU CAN'T CONSIDER THAT.
HOWEVER, SHE DOES NEED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE POWER OF ATTORNEY.
UM, I THINK I'VE ASKED ALL THE QUESTIONS.
DID YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT YES, SIR.
THAT'S WHY WE WANTED THAT TO GO, BECAUSE NOT ALL THE TIME I CAN GIVE THE POWER OF ATTORNEY.
I'LL JUST SEND HIM A MESSAGE AND HE CAN HAVE THE UNIT, THEY CAN MAIL IT TO ME.
UM, SO I COULD BE BACK HOPEFULLY IN, IN A WEEK, MAYBE WITH IT.
WELL, WE DON'T WANNA RUSH ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE I KNOW OH, OKAY.
UH, I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
LET ME, LET ME SUMMARIZE WHAT I THINK I HEARD AND VERIFY WHAT I'M HEARING.
UH, NUMBER ONE, YOU SAID THAT THERE'S $60,000 AVAILABLE IN CASH.
NUMBER TWO IS YOUR BEST ESTIMATE SO FAR IS THERE'S 35,000 TO 40,000 TO DO THE REPAIR.
UH, YOUR ASSUMPTION WAS THAT MOST OF THE REPAIR NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THE GARAGE AREA.
UH, WE JUST NOT, WE GOTTA KNOCK THE WHOLE GARAGE OFF IS WHAT I WAS SAYING.
UH, AND, AND THEN, UH, YOU'RE, YOU'RE EXPECTING THAT TO BE GARAGE AREA, ROOF AREA, AND THAT'S THE EXTENT OF YOUR REPAIR IN TERMS OF YOUR THOUGHT RIGHT NOW.
IS THAT CORRECT? UM, NO, THAT WAS FOR THE GARAGE.
UM, SECURING THE, THE KITCHEN AND THE WALL AND THE FLOORING IN THE, IN THE KITCHEN AND THE, ALL THE STUFF THAT'S IN THE HALLWAY FALLING DOWN, THAT'S AS, AS WELL AS UTILITIES THAT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.
LIKE, UH, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING FROM THE FIRE DAMAGE.
OBVIOUSLY IT'LL HAVE TO BE REPLACED.
WASN'T, OKAY, I THINK I UNDERSTAND THEN THE SCOPE, UH, ON THE ROOF, ARE YOU EXPECTING THE ENTIRE ROOF TO BE, UH, THE, OR AT LEAST THE SHINGLES TO BE REPLACED THE WHOLE ROOF? OR IS IT JUST, I WANTED THE WHOLE ROOF 'CAUSE IT, THE WHOLE ROOF SYSTEM, YOU DON'T WANNA JUST PUT SOME GOOD ONES IN AND THEN HAVE WEAK SPOTS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD.
I, I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THEN, UH, FROM WHAT YOU'VE TOLD US AT LEAST
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MO.
CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 52 46 BEFORE I MAKE A MOTION.
DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, COMMENTS? OKAY.
MY MOTION IS, UH, TO RESET TO THE NEAREST AVAILABLE DATE SO SHE CAN GATHER ALL THE INFORMATION THAT SHE NEEDS AND PROVIDE THE DOCUMENTS OF POWER OF ATTORNEY.
'CAUSE IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER THAN WHAT SHE THINKS.
UM, SO I WANNA GIVE HER THAT IS A RESET.
THE MOTION ON THE, UH, BOARD IS AT THE PRESENT TIME, RESET THE CASE FOR 52 46 VILLAGE CREST.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'D LIKE TO ADD ROBERT BINKY HERE.
I'D LIKE TO ADD A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
AND YOU ALSO HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IF SHE CAN BRING A SCOPE OF WORK PRESENTED FOR US AT THAT TIME AS WELL WHEN SHE HAS THE, UH, POWER OF ATTORNEY THAT, THAT'S PART OF ALL THE DOCUMENTATION.
SO IN ESSENCE, IT'S NOT ONLY SCOPE OF WORK, IT'S THE THREE ITEMS THAT WE ALWAYS REQUIRE.
IT'S SCOPE OF WORK, MONEY AND TIMEFRAME, AND POWER OF ATTORNEY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY BASED ON YOUR REQUEST.
NOW I DO BELIEVE THAT CODE ALSO ALWAYS ASKS IN MOST CASES FOR AN ENGINEER'S REPORT.
'CAUSE THAT MAY HAVE TO BE, AND A COPY OF THE MAR UH, THE FIRE MARSHAL'S REPORT AS WELL.
AND A COPY OF AN ENGINEER'S REPORT THAT COVERS A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT THE FIRE MARSHAL COVERS.
MR. I I'M GONNA LET CODE OFFICER DETAIL THAT INFORMATION ON WHAT'S NEEDED, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
SO AT PRESENT TIME WE HAVE A MOTION TO RESET, UH, FOR THE FIRST AVAILABLE DATE.
UH, AND THE SECOND WAS MADE AND ACCEPTED THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT ALSO, UH, DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION ON THE CASE? PAUL HERNANDEZ, JUST A CLARIFICATION, UM, WHEN, WHEN WE SAY NEXT AVAILABLE DATE, IS THERE ANY TIME LIMIT ON THAT? UH, STAFF WILL DETERMINE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE.
LIKE, LIKE A NO LATER THAN, UH, IF YOU WANNA SET A NO LATER THAN YOU CAN DO A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
LET'S DO A NO LATER THAN 90 DAYS.
UH, I'M GONNA HOLD THAT 'CAUSE I NEED STAFF TO ANSWER THAT ONE.
'CAUSE THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE STUFF BOOKED UP FOR 90 DAYS.
I THINK EVERYTHING GOES OUT 30 DAYS PRIOR NOTIFICATIONS
[01:15:01]
AND STUFF.SO WOULD 90 DAYS BE A PROBLEM FOR STAFF? FOR THE RECORD THE ANSWER WAS NO.
THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD FALL WITHIN OUR REQUIREMENTS.
I THINK THAT'S THE MAX LIMITATIONS AS WELL.
UH, AND FRIENDLY AMENDMENT'S ACCEPTED.
AND ROBERT ALSO ACCEPTED FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IS ALSO ACCEPTED.
UM, THIS MAY BE PART OF IT, BUT SECURING THE HOUSE PROPERLY TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM GETTING IN THERE.
SO TO SECURE THE HOUSE THAT'S FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
I ACCEPT IT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT TO, TO SECURE A HOUSE WITH NO WALL.
IF WELL, YOU CAN SECURE THE DOOR AND IF THE WALL'S DAMAGED, THEN THAT'S A, BUT NORMALLY YOU COULD SECURE THAT BACK DOOR THAT GOES IN THE GARAGE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE IS DONE ON THE WALL.
UH, THE PICTURE SHOWS THE FULL WALL IS MISSING ON THE BACK? NO, ON THE GARAGE.
I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT'S IN THE HOUSE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT ON THE HOUSE, THE RIGHT WALL HOLDING UP.
I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THE PICTURE.
OKAY, BUT THAT, THAT'S FINE IF IT, THAT'S WHAT IT RE UH, YEAH, CODE.
IF YOU COULD CLARIFY PLEASE, BECAUSE AT THAT, IF WE NEED TO DO THE WHOLE WALL, WE'LL DO THE WHOLE WALL.
THIS IS DP OFFICER CYNTHIA SANTANA.
THE, THE INTERIOR LIVING SPACE OF THE STRUCTURE COULD BE SECURED, UH, THE FRONT DOOR, THE REAR DOOR, WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNSECURED, AND THE DOOR TO INTO THE KITCHEN, THOSE THREE DOORS COULD BE SECURED.
HOWEVER, THAT GARAGE REMAINS OPEN AND THERE ARE A LOT OF FAMILIES AND, UH, CHILDREN IN THAT AREA.
SO, AND YOUR, YOUR SECURE WOULD BE FOR THE HOUSE ITSELF, NOT THE GARAGE AREA.
IS THAT CORRECT? OH, I'M SORRY.
I WAS THINKING I, IS IT THE CITY THAT PUTS THE FENCING AROUND THESE STRUCTURES? DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? YEAH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A, UH, NORMALLY WHAT WE DO IS A SECURITY FENCE THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON MANY PROPERTY AND I HAVE TO DO THIS 'CAUSE MY LEGS ARE GIVING ME PROBLEMS AGAIN.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE ORDER BEFORE IS A SECURITY FENCE.
THEY ALREADY HAVE THREE FENCES AND WE WANT THE FRONT DONE.
WE CAN ORDER A SECURITY FENCE NOW THAT'S ON THE OWNERS OR THE CITY, WHOEVER DOES IT, IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND THAT, THAT, YES, THAT'S, YEAH.
THE MOTION IS TO RESET THE CASE TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE, BUT NOT LATER THAN 90 DAYS FROM THE DATE, UH, TO SECURE THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE ITSELF, EXCLUDING THE GARAGE, UH, ANY OTHER FURTHER DISCUSSION OR AMENDMENTS.
AND ROBERT, DID YOU ACCEPT THE SECURITY? I DO.
I I DID NOT INCLUDE THE SECURITY FENCE IN THAT REPEAT OF MOTION.
ARE YOU SAYING SECURE THE HOUSE? ANNA PUT A FENCE UP OR ARE YOU SAYING, I'M JUST SAYING PUT A SO YOU WANNA GO TO A FENCE UP TO KEEP THE PEOPLE FROM GETTING IN? YEAH.
I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, THAT, THAT AND CHILDREN, I, I ACCEPT THE AMENDMENT.
AND ROBERT, I ALSO ACCEPT, I'M GONNA REPEAT IT JUST TO MAKE SURE, BECAUSE WE WERE OFF AND YOU HAVE A QUESTION FIRST.
I DON'T, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE, UM, THE YOUNG LADY HAD SOMETHING.
NOT UNTIL WE'RE DONE WHERE THE, UH, ROLL CALL AREA.
UH, LET ME REPEAT THE MOTION AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A ROLL CALL.
THE MOTION IS TO RESET NOT, UH, AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE, NOT LATER THAN 90 DAYS.
AND SECURE THE PROPERTY WITH A PERIMETER FENCE.
AND THAT'S THE END OF THE MOTION, IS THAT CORRECT? I THINK SO.
MR. ANDIS? YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT.
I WAS JUST WRITING THE 90 DAY THING, SO THAT WOULD BE 90 DAYS RESET.
SECURITY FENCE AND A ROLL CALL PLEASE.
MOTION PASSES WITH A VOTE OF 6 2 1.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, SAY AYE.
THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.
DO WE HAVE ANY ISSUES IN ADMINISTRATION, JUDY OR, UH, JUDY CRIM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES? WE HAVE REVISED ONE DATE THAT WE INITIALLY PRESENTED BACK IN OCTOBER FOR THE FUTURE MEETING DATES.
THE FULL BOARD THAT WAS SCHEDULED ON MAY 21ST HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR MAY 28TH.
ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE AN AT LARGE ADVERTISEMENT SUBMITTED SEEKING APPLICANTS FOR THE VACANCY.
IT IS SCHEDULED TO RUN THROUGH MARCH 18TH WITH A TENTATIVE DATE FOR PCDC, WHICH IS A PLANNING COMMUNITY AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 30TH.
WE ARE SEEKING TWO REAPPOINTMENTS FOR MR. BANKY AND MS. WEINER AS WELL AS FOR THE VACANCY.

UH, WE HAVE RECEIVED THAT FROM COUNCIL DISTRICT SIX AND WE ARE PENDING PLACEMENT ON CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FOR APPROVAL.
AND JUST A REMINDER, UM, THE FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE REPORT IS DUE BY APRIL 1ST.
WE WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE HEARING FOR ANYONE NEEDING ASSISTANCE TO LOG IN.
ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES WE NEED? GO AHEAD WITH? YES, MR. NELSON, THIS IS JENNY RAMIREZ, CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER.
I DID WANNA MAKE A BRIEF ANNOUNCEMENT AND ALSO AT THE SAME TIME APOLOGIZE.
[02:15:01]
UM, DANNY LEGES, UM, WAS RECENTLY PROMOTED TO, UH, INTERIM ASSISTANT DIRECTOR.HE WILL BE OVERSEEING CODE ENFORCEMENT.
WE RECENTLY HAD A, UM, ONE OF OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTORS MOVE ON TO, UM, PUBLIC WORKS, UM, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
SO THAT LEFT THE VACANCY, UM, WITH ONE OF OUR EXECUTIVE STAFF POSITIONS THROUGH SOME REALIGNMENT.
UH, OUR PREVIOUS, UH, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, MELISSA, UH, RAMIREZ HAS MOVED OVER AND WILL BE OVERSEEING THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS TEAMS AS WELL AS, UH, AS PARTS OF UM, UH, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT, UM, PERMIT REVIEW, THINGS LIKE THAT.

WE'RE SO GLAD TO STILL HAVE THOSE, THOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIPS.
SO IT, IT WORKS OUT AS A PLUS PLUS FOR US.
WELL, OBVIOUSLY MY PERSONAL HOPE IS THAT WE GET A WHOLE LOT MORE INFORMATION OUT THE CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AND BASED ON WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR WITH TWO VISITS THAT I'VE ALREADY SEEN WITH MICHAEL, THEN WE'RE GONNA GET A WHOLE LOT MORE INFORMATION.
AND IF NOT GET IT, YOU CAN GET IT ONLINE SO IT'S AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.
ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP? I HAD ONE THING THAT I MAYBE OVERLOOKED.
UM, WHEN WE DID ITEM NUMBER SEVEN AT 1 6 5 ST.
STRIBLING, IT DID MENTION, AND I FORGOT TO SAY THIS, IT MENTIONED DECONSTRUCTION IN THE, UH, LIST FROM THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, FIELD DIVISION.
IT DID SAY SOMETHING ABOUT DECONSTRUCTION AND I DID NOT MENTION THAT.
WE, WE ACTUALLY DO NOT HAVE TO MENTION IT.
AND THE REASON WE DO NOT IS BECAUSE, UH, THANKS TO ATTORNEY STAFF WHEN THEY WRITE THE ORDER UP, THEY WILL ACTUALLY DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S THE STRUCTURE, I MEAN DEMOLITION OR WHETHER IT'S DECONSTRUCTION.
SO WE'RE COVERED WITH THAT REGARDLESS OF HOW WE DO IT.
JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T GOOF THAT UP.
UH, BECAUSE THOSE, THOSE CAN BE SOMETIMES CHALLENGING FOR US BECAUSE WE ASK WHY SOMETIMES AND OTHER TIMES.
BUT THANKS TO THE ATTORNEYS FOR DOING THAT FOR US.
THEY'LL, THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF US AND KEEP IT STRAIGHT AS THEY ALWAYS DO, IN FACT ON LEGAL ASPECTS.
ANY OTHER ISSUES ANYONE WANTS TO BRING UP? JUDY? CAN I GET A COPY OF THE, UH, BOARDS? 'CAUSE I CAN'T PRINT ONE DOWN.
AND I GUESS YOU WANT IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE
EMAILING PART SEEMS TO WORK ON OCCASIONS, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD, ESPECIALLY THIS CALENDAR AND IT WOULDN'T DO IT, IT SAYS LOCKED.
SO WHATEVER IT WAS SENT OUT, IT MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH WHAT I YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
ANY OTHER ISSUES FROM THE BOARD? I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR AN OUTSTANDING JOB TODAY IS AS ALWAYS YOU DO.
WE ARE JOINED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT AT 1118.
