THANK YOU.I WANTED TO INCLUDE THE SATELLITE IMAGERY OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, AS WE GO THROUGH IT, IT, IT KIND OF SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE MAY BE TWO STRUCTURES, BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE IT FROM ABOVE.
THIS PHOTO IS OF THE FRONT ELEVATION AS IT FACES ROPER STREET SHOWING A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE IN A COMMERCIAL ZONE.
UM, THE STRUCTURE IS 2,504 SQUARE FEET ACCORDING TO BEXAR COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT.
UM, SOME OF THE, THE PORTIONS OF THE STRUCTURE ARE BEING DEMOLISHED.
UM, THE MAIN STRUCTURE WAS, UH, CONSTRUCTED IN 1935.
UH, THE ADDITION OF THE CONCRETE SECTION THERE, UM, WAS BUILT IN 1955.
THE STRUCTURE, UH, HAS A PURIN BEAM FOUNDATION UNDER THE LEFT SIDE.
UH, THE SLAB ON GRADE FOUNDATION IS ON THE ADDITION TO THE RIGHT.
THE LEFT SIDE HAS A CROSS GABLE ROOF WITH SHINGLES, WOOD SIDING, AND THE ADDITION HAS A FLAT ROOF WITH ROLLED ROOFING AND CINDER BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION.
THIS STRUCTURE IS LOCATED WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF PERSHING ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS EXACTLY ONE STREET OVER TO THE LEFT OF THE STRUCTURE.
THERE'S BEEN NO WATER AT THIS LOCATION SINCE NOVEMBER 23RD, 2025, AND IT HAS NO ACTIVE ELECTRICITY ACCOUNT.
THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE HAS EXPOSED STUDS, A LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION AND IS UNLEVEL.
THIS IS A VIEW OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRONT ELEVATION.
THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE ADDITION IS EXPOSED AS THE ORIGINAL BUILD HAD PULLED AWAY FROM IT.
UM, WHEN THE PURIN BEAM FOUNDATION FAILED, THE EXPOSED STRUCTURAL MEMBERS AT THE TOP OF THE ADDITION WERE ONCE ATTACHED TO A ROOM AT THE FRONT OF THE ORIGINAL BUILD, UH, WHICH HAS, UM, RECENTLY BEEN DEMOLISHED.
THIS IS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FRONT ELEVATION.
THE SIDING LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION AND THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS ALONG WITH THE WALL STUDS THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PHOTO HERE.
YOU CAN ALSO SEE ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO, UH, TO THE LEFT OF THE PHOTO, UH, WHICH APPEARS TO BE A SMALL CARPORT.
THIS PHOTO IS OF THE LEFT ELEVATION.
THE FLOOR JOISTS ARE ROTTED AND EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.
THE SIDING LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION AND THE STRUCTURE IS UNLEVEL.
YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT ELEVATION IS LISTING FORWARD TOWARDS THE STREET.
THIS PHOTO IS OF THE RIGHT SIDE.
THIS IS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR ELEVATION.
UH, THERE WAS A BATHROOM HERE AS RECENTLY AS OCTOBER, 2025.
I HAD WRITTEN A CITATION FOR THE DEMOLITION WITHOUT A PERMIT.
HOWEVER, THE OWNER STATED THAT HE DID NOT DEMOLISH IT, THAT IT, UH, RATHER FELL OFF.
THE STRUCTURE IS UNLEVEL AND PULLING AWAY FROM THE ADDITION IN THE CENTER OF THE PHOTO THERE.
THIS PICTURE SHOWS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE REAR ELEVATION.
HERE YOU CAN SEE THE RAFTERS ARE DETERIORATED AND MISSING.
THE CINDER BLOCK WALLS HAVE SIGNIFICANT STEP CRACKING FROM THE FOUNDATION, WHICH IS SINKING INTO THE GRADE.
ON THIS SIDE, THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
THE DECKING AND THE RAFTERS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY DETERIORATED, MISSING IN LOCATIONS AND WATER DAMAGED.
THE WALL IN THE CENTER OF THIS ELEVATION IS CAVING IN TOWARDS THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THAT SEPARATION THAT OCCURRED, UH, BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL BUILD AND THE ADDITION WHEN THE PURIN BEAM FOUNDATION FAILED.
THE STEP CRACKING IS ALSO VISIBLE ON THIS ELEVATION TO THE RIGHT OF THE PHOTO.
THIS PHOTO IS FROM FEBRUARY 25TH, 2026 OF THE FRONT ELEVATION.
SHOWING THE ROOM, UH, TO THE FRONT THERE, I'VE HIGHLIGHTED IT, UH, THAT WAS DEMOLISHED WITHOUT A PERMIT.
UH, THE OWNER HAS NOT SPECIFIED, UH, WHETHER OR NOT THAT FELL OFF.
[00:15:01]
THIS WAS THE INSIDE OF THAT ROOM LAST OCTOBER, UM, SHOWING THE AMOUNT OF LISTING THAT HAD OCCURRED FROM THE DAMAGED FOUNDATION.AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE ON MARCH 10TH.
THE SHINGLES ON THIS STRUCTURE, UH, WERE PUT ON, UM, ACCORDING TO SATELLITE IMAGERY, SOMETIME BETWEEN 2022 AND 2024 WITHOUT A PERMIT.
THIS IS THE BATHROOM ON THE REAR ELEVATION, UH, IN SEPTEMBER, 2025.
AND THIS IS AN INTERIOR PHOTO OF THAT AREA IN OCTOBER.
NATURAL LIGHT IS VISIBLE FROM ALMOST EVERY ANGLE, AND THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THAT AREA.
UH, THE FOUNDATION SILL BEAMS ARE DEFLECTED, ROTTED, AND EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.
THE PLUMBING DRAINS AND THE SEWER PIPES ARE DAMAGED.
UH, THE CEDAR POSTS ARE LEANING HEAVILY TO THE RIGHT UNDER WHERE THE BATHROOM WAS.
THE SIDING IS WATER DAMAGED AND LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION.
INTERIOR WALLS ARE NOW EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND THE FASCIA IS WEATHERED FROM THE ANGLE.
YOU CAN SEE THE CONDITION OF THE ROOF STRUCTURE ABOVE THE ADDITION.
YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE MISSING DECKING, THE BROKEN AND DETERIORATED RAFTERS.
THE STEP CRACKING IS ALSO VISIBLE ON THIS RIGHT ELEVATION.
UM, THIS ANGLE SHOWS THE EXTERIOR WALL ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION IS LISTING INTO THE STRUCTURE.
IN THE NEXT PHOTO, WE ARE GOING TO WHAT, CAN WE GO BACK JUST A SECOND IN THE NEXT PHOTO? UH, WE'RE GOING TO WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR RIGHT THERE IN THE CENTER OF THE STRUCTURE JUST SO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF, OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.
AS YOU WALK INTO THIS ADDITION AND YOU LOOK DIRECTLY UP, YOU CAN SEE THE EXTENT OF THE WATER DAMAGE, UH, THAT HAS OCCURRED, LEAVING THE DECKING WITH EXTENSIVE HOLES EXPOSING THE INTERIOR TO THE WEATHER ELEMENTS.
THE RAFTERS ARE WATER DAMAGED.
THE ROOF SHEATHING AND ROOF COVERING ARE DAMAGED.
THE INTERIOR WALL, UH, COVER IS, UM, BUCKLING FROM THE WATER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PHOTO THERE.
INSULATION AND DRYWALL HAVE COLLAPSED FROM THE CEILING.
THIS IS THE SAME, THE SAME DAMAGE OCCURS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE RIGHT ELEVATION WITH RAFTERS BREAKING AND COLLAPSING FROM YEARS OF EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS.
LOOKING TO THE RIGHT AS YOU WALK IN THAT DOOR, YOU CAN SEE NATURAL LIGHT AT THE CEILING AND THE EXTENT OF STEP CRACKING ON THE, THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION WALL.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION WALL.
UM, LOOKING TO THAT TO THE LEFT, UH, FROM THAT DOOR.
IT HAS THE SAME DEFICIENCIES WITH NATURAL LIGHT VISIBLE AT THE ROOF.
AND STEP CRACKING IS SO SEVERE THAT YOU CAN SEE THE NATURAL LIGHT COMING THROUGH THE CINDER BLOCKS THERE.
CEILINGS ON THE ORIGINAL BUILD ARE HEAVILY DAMAGED BY WATER ENTERING THE STRUCTURE.
UH, THE WOOD PLANKS ARE WARPED, DETERIORATED, AND COLLAPSING.
THE WALL PLASTER IS CRACKED AND SEPARATING.
THIS IS A ROOM, UH, TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE ORIGINAL BUILD, UM, WITH THE SAME DEFICIENCIES AND YET ANOTHER ROOM, UH, IN THE FRONT OF THE ELEVATION OF THE ORIGINAL BUILD.
THIS IS THE FLOORING ON THE ORIGINAL BUILD.
UH, THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO THE ADDITION.
UH, THAT CORRUGATED METAL SHEET THAT YOU SEE IN THE MIDDLE WAS AN ACTUAL DOORWAY TO THE, UM, ADDITION THAT YOU COULD WALK THROUGH.
AND AS IT FURTHER, UH, DETERIORATED, IT SEPARATED, UM, AND YOU HAD TO WALK ACROSS A PLANK TO GET FROM ONE UH, STRUCTURE TO THE OTHER AS THEY HAD SEPARATED.
THE SUBFLOOR IS EXPOSED IN ALL THE ROOMS. UH, YOU HAVE TO STEP UP ONTO THE BOARDS JUST PAST THIS GAP.
UH, AS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN THE LEVEL OF THE FLOOR.
THE GRADE IS VISIBLE THROUGH THE WOOD FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS ACCESSORY ONE IN THE REAR YARD, WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE SOME, UH, BE SOME TYPE OF WOOD SHED.
IT WAS BUILT WITH METAL PIPING DIRECTLY INTO THE GRADE AND HAS A CORRUGATED METAL ROOF COVERING.
MOST OF THE PIPING ON THE LEFT SIDE IS COLLAPSED.
[00:20:01]
AND IT IS LISTING TO THE LEFT.THIS IS A CLOSEUP PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE THAT IS STILL UPRIGHT.
THE METAL ROOFING IS SEPARATED FROM THE POLES AND RUSTED.
THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION, WHICH HAS A LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION AND IS RUSTED ON BOTH ENDS.
THIS IS ACCESSORY TO, UH, THE CARPORT AT THE FRONT OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTED WITH METAL POSTS DIRECTLY INTO THE GRADE WOOD DECKING WITH METAL SHEETS ON TOP.
THE RAFTERS ARE WATER DAMAGED AND LACK WEATHER PROTECTION.
THE ROOF IS SAGGING IN THE CENTER AND THE DECKING IS WATER DAMAGED, DECAYED, AND HAS HOLES.
THIS STRUCTURE HAS BEEN DETERIORATING FOR APPROXIMATELY SEVEN YEARS, UH, WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATING VISIBLE DECLINE SINCE 2019.
THE IMAGERY SHOWS HOLES IN THE ROOF OVER THE BATHROOM AREA, WHICH IS NOW DETACHED FROM THE MAIN STRUCTURE ALONG WITH THE REAR ELEVATION.
DUE TO NEGLECT BY THE OWNER, THE INITIATING OFFICER GRANTED THE PROPERTY OWNER A NINE MONTH HARDSHIP PERIOD DURING 2023 TO 2024.
DURING THAT TIME, THE OWNER REPLACED THE ROOFING SHINGLES WITHOUT OBTAINING THE REQUIRED PERMITS.
NO ADDITIONAL WORK WAS PERFORMED UNTIL I CONDUCTED MY INITIAL INSPECTION.
AFTER RECEIVING THE CASE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2025, AT WHICH TIME I REQUESTED INTERIOR PHOTOS, A NEW NOTICE OF VIOLATION WAS ISSUED TO THE OWNER, AT WHICH POINT IT APPEARED.
HE UNDERSTOOD THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE BROUGHT BEFORE THIS BOARD.
SUBSEQUENTLY, MR. HUARDO BEGAN FOUNDATION REPAIRS WITHOUT A PERMIT.
ONLY AFTER A CITATION WAS ISSUED DID HE OBTAIN THE REQUIRED PERMIT.
THE OWNER CONTACTED ME SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING THE CITATION TO STATE THAT HE HAD ALREADY, HE ALREADY HAD A FOUNDATION PERMIT.
HOWEVER, RECORDS SHOW THE PERMIT WAS PURCHASED APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES AFTER THE CITATION WAS ISSUED.
THIS MATTER PROCEEDED TO MUNICIPAL COURT WHERE HE WAS FOUND LIABLE.
THE OWNER LATER APPLIED FOR A COMMERCIAL REPAIR PERMIT, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY WITHDRAWN BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT DUE TO INACCURATE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE WORK BEING PERFORMED.
DESPITE THE WITHDRAWAL DEMOLITION ACTIVITY CONTINUED ON THE FRONT PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE, THE STRUCTURE EXHIBITS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES ACROSS ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS FROM THE FOUNDATION TO THE ROOFING SYSTEM.
FLOOR JOISTS, SEAL BEAM, SEAL BEAMS, WALL STUDS, AND CEILING JOISTS ARE ROTTED AND DETERIORATED.
THE FOUNDATION UNDER THE, UH, ORIGINAL STRUCTURE IS UNEVEN AND FAILING.
WHILE THE ADDITION IS SINKING INTO THE GRADE.
CINDER BLOCK WALLS HAVE SHIFTED ON ALL THE ELEVATIONS, CREATING VISIBLE GAPS THAT ALLOW NATURAL LIGHT TO PASS THROUGH ROOF FAILURE OVER THE ADDITION HAS RESULTED IN EXTENSIVE DETERIORATION OF THE RAFTERS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BROKEN AND MISSING ENTIRELY.
TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 7 25 ROPER STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1 2 5 7 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE MAIN 7, 8, 12, AND 15 FOR ACCESSORY ONE, THE WOODSHED AND 5 8, 12, AND 15 FOR ACCESSORY TO THE CARPORT 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 AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 7 25 ROPER STREET.
DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? THIS IS FRED ANDERSON.
THERE'S A PIECE IN HERE THAT'S INTRIGUING.
IT SAYS PROPERTY FALLS WITHIN THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
WHAT HAPPENED? IT'S NOT IN THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
WHY? I DON'T KNOW THE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
I DON'T HAVE ANY, UM, ANY INFORMATION FROM THAT DEPARTMENT.
DID STAFF HAVE A ANSWER? GOOD MORNING.
UH, THIS IS KATHY RODRIGUEZ, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR.
THIS WAS AN ACTIVE CASE WITH THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
[00:25:01]
RECEIVED SOME FEE WAIVERS BECAUSE HE WAS DEMONSTRATING EFFORTS TOWARDS IMPROVING CONDITIONS, UM, BECAUSE THE, UH, OWNER HAS NOT, UM, MADE THE PROGRESS THAT HE COMMITTED TO ALONG THE WAY.FOR THAT REASON, THE CASE WAS, UH, RECOMMENDED TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE BSB.
'CAUSE IT WASN'T IN THE NOTES AND I DIDN'T HEAR HER MENTION ANYTHING WHY IT WASN'T OR TOOK OUT, SO, OKAY.
JUST LOOKING FOR CLARIFICATION, YOU'RE ASKING FOR DEMOLITION, BUT IN THE, UH, THE WRITEUP OF THE REPORT, THERE'S ACTUALLY SAYING THAT THIS SHOULD BE DECONSTRUCTED.
CORRECT? UH, THE DECONSTRUCTION COMES AS A DETERMINATION, UM, BASED ON AN ORDINANCE.
THE CITY HAS THAT WHEN A CERTAIN STRUCTURE, UH, WAS BUILT AT BEFORE A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD, THAT IF IT IS ORDERED DEMOLISHED, THAT IT'S REQUIRED THAT WE GO IN, WE RECLAIM SOME OF THE WOOD FROM THE STRUCTURE AND IT GOES INTO A PROGRAM, UH, FOR THAT, FOR THAT ORDINANCE.
SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, IS THERE ACTUAL MATERIAL THERE TO BE RECLAIMED? THAT WOULD BE DETERMINED, UM, BY OHP.
SO EVEN IF, IF WE WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A DEMOLITION, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY INVOLVE LOOKING TO, SEEING IF THERE'S ANYTHING SALVAGEABLE, CORRECT.
THEY DO COME AND DO AN EVALUATION.
IF A CHAIRWOMAN, IF I COULD ADD A LITTLE MORE, UH, INFORMATION AND DETAIL FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE BOARD.
THE CITY HAS AN ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES PRIVATE OR CITY ORDER DEMOLITION TO BE DECONSTRUCTED IF THE STRUCTURE IS OLDER THAN 1945 WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
AND THAT PROCESS, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IS ONCE THE ORDER OR A PERMIT IS APPROVED FOR DECONSTRUCTION, THE CONTRACTOR WILL DO AN ASSESSMENT AND CREATE A PLAN FOR SALVAGING MATERIALS THAT ARE SALVAGEABLE.
AND THEN THOSE ARE EITHER RETAINED BY THE OWNER OR THEY ARE DONATED TO THE CITY'S MATERIAL INNOVATION CENTER.
AND THOSE MATERIALS ARE MADE AVAILABLE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS WHERE THEY ARE PRESERVING, UH, EXISTING HOUSING STOCK.
UH, MADAM CHAIR, UM, DOES THIS PROPERTY CURRENTLY HAVE ELECTRICAL OR WATER SERVICE? IT DOES NOT.
IS THERE ANY PROBLEM WITH CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OR BREAK-INS? NO, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPORTS OF THAT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY, THANK YOU.
UH, WE DO HAVE, UH, TWO PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK.
UM, WE'LL HEAR FROM THE OWNER.
AND CAN YOU STATE YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE, OR YOUR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT? YES, UH, I FOR THE HOUSE 7 25 FOR THE 7 25 ROBERT STREET.
I LIVE JUST ACROSS THE STREET ON THE FRONT.
SO, UH, ALL THE TIME, UH, I DECIDE TO NOT PUT THE ELECTRICITY AND WATER BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN IT DOWN, I MEAN, UH, I, I, I CALLED TO CUT THE WATER SERVICE AND THE ELECTRICITY WAS BECAUSE I DON'T NEED IT AND EXCEPT SOME TIME, BUT, UH, AND BROKE THE, FOR THE ICE WHEN IT'S COLD.
SO I, I DECIDE NOT GET THE WATER SERVICE AND THE ELECTRICITY BECAUSE THE TREE FALL DOWN OVER THE, UH, WIRES, HIGH VOLTAGE WIRES.
SO I DECIDE, CUT IT RIGHT AWAY TO KNOW, UH, TO CUT IT DOWN AND THEY REMOVE ALL COMPLETE THE LINE.
SO I TRY TO MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
THE THINGS, BECAUSE I LIVE ACROSS THERE NEVER WAS BACKHAND BECAUSE ALL THE TIME I TURN IT AROUND TO SEE WHAT IS, HOW IS MY PROPERTY, AND, AND I DECIDE TO PAY ATTENTION TO SEE IF I CAN START WORKING TO FIX IT.
MY HANDS, I COULDN'T MOVE ANYTHING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
BUT THE DOCTORS SAY THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY TOOK ME OPIA FROM HERE AND THEY SAY, NO, IT'S NO CANCER.
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE SPECIALIST WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOUR HANDS AND WAS VERY HARD TO, TO PAINTS AND CUT IT FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE.
I HAVE A RECORDS ON THAT IF YOU NEED IT TO.
I, WHAT I KNOW NEED, I TAKE TIME TO DO IT.
WHEN I DECIDE TO PUT THE, THE ROOF, IT IS BECAUSE IT WAS MY FIRST TIME AND THE PEOPLE HELP ME TO, TO DO IT.
THEY SAY, WELL, WE CAN JUST REPAIR WHAT IS THE LEAKS, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET MORE WATER INSIDE THE HOUSE.
SO I SAY, WELL CHECK IT, BUT AT THE TIME THEY CHECK IT, THEY SAY THEY START MOVING EVERYTHING.
[00:30:01]
SO, OKAY, YOU ALREADY REMOVED TOO MUCH, SO KEEP GOING.THEY'RE GONNA TRY TO GET THE PERMITS.
BUT I COULDN'T IN THAT MOMENT.
IT'S ON RECORDS JUST TO START DOING THE OTHER THINGS ON THE BUILDING, ON THE, UH, COMMERCIAL TO START, TRY TO NOT GET TOO MUCH WATER OR SOMETHING MORE DAMAGED, BUT THE SAME THING.
SO, UH, THE WEATHER WAS TOO HARD AND PUT MORE WATER, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, DOESN'T MATTER TOO MUCH BECAUSE IT WAS CONCRETE, EVERYTHING INSIDE, SO THE WATER RUNNING TO THE DRAINAGE AND GO AWAY.
BUT EVEN IF THAT HAPPENED, I HAVE ALREADY, UH, NOW THE, THE TALK TO HERE FOR THE PERMITS, EVERYTHING TOLD ME IS A COMMERCIAL, EVERYTHING.
SO DO YOU NEED, YOU NEEDED A, A SPECIAL, UH, PERMIT FOR THAT WITH ENGINEER.
I FIND THE ENGINEER AND THE, UH, UM, THE, THE FOUNDATION MAN, THE REPAIR, THEY HAVE EVERYTHING FOR MAKER LIKE A BUSINESS, UH, COMMERCIALS, PILES OR CONCRETE.
SO THEY GIMME THE PERMISS TO KEEP GOING.
SO WE START MOVING AND START, UH, FIX IT.
BUT THE PART OF THE FRONT AND THE BACK WAS FALL DOWN WAS BECAUSE SOMETIMES TWO LONG TIME AGO, THEY NO MAKE IT RIGHT AND WAS CROOKED, CROOKED AND CROOKED.
AND WHEN THEY START LEVEL IT THAT FALL DOWN, EVERYTHING WE, WE REMOVE IT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT DAMAGE FOR THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE IS WHY.
WE JUST TAKE IT DOWN, WHATEVER FALL DOWN.
AND I HAVE THE PICTURE WHEN THE WORK THE WORKERS WERE, THEY WAS THERE WHEN THEY FALL DOWN.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF MY ENGLISH IS VERY GOOD BECAUSE IT'S WHY I HAVE MY FRIEND TO EXPLAIN MORE, BUT I TRY TO MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE.
SO, UH, RIGHT NOW IN THIS, AT THIS POINT, I HAVE THE ENGINEER TO WORKING FOR THE, UH, BLUEPRINTS.
FOR THE PERMIT, RIGHT PERMITS AND UH, TO MAKE A RIGHT TO REBUILD ON THE BACK AND THE FRONT FOR THE HOUSE.
AND I HAVE THE CONTRACT ALREADY FOR THE, UH, WAR FOUNDATIONS TO START, UH, STABILIZE THE CONCRETE BUILDING BECAUSE IT'S, HE SAY YOU DON'T NEED IT LEVEL IT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUT LEVEL TOO MUCH.
THE PROBLEM ON THE, ON THE FRONT WHERE YOU SEE IT IS JUST THE WOOD.
SO THAT IS NOT THE CONCRETE IS THE WOOD.
SO I DESIRE, UH, GET CONTRACT FROM HIM TO START, UH, WHEN WE HAVE THE PERMIT TO DOING THE CONCRETE ON THE BUILDING.
BUT RIGHT NOW THE, THE PRIORITY FOR ME IS THE, UM, THE ROOF TO NOT HAVE MORE DAMAGE TO THE WOOD.
SO I HAVE ALREADY THE CONTRACT TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP ME AND THEY SAY, YES, WE CAN HELP YOU TO FI TO REMOVE ALL THE ROOF BED AND PUT IN THE NEW ROOF AND CHECK ALL THE, THE, THE WOOD JUST TO PUT THE, THE, THE ROOF TO NOT HAVE MORE WATER, EVEN TO NO DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE.
SO, OKAY, BUT I NEED NOW THE PERMIT.
SO LET ME SAY, UH, SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT, UH, THE PERMIT FOR THE, THE ROOF JUST FOR, UH, STORAGE FOR THE MOMENT, JUST FOR THE STORAGE TO MAKE EVERYTHING CLOSE.
AND, AND, AND THEN, AND THEN WE HAVE SOMETHING TO START, MAKE SPACE TO GET ALL THE MATERIAL WHAT I NEED TO KEEP WORKING ON, ON THE, UH, HOUSE AND BUILDING.
I DON'T KNOW IF I TALKING TOO FAST, I, MY ENGLISH IS NOT TOO GOOD, BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS WHAT I HAVE ALREADY AND, AND HANDS AND, AND I HAVE DEMAND TO, UH, TO WORKING WITH ME ON THE CONSTRUCTION, UH, STRUCTURAL, UH, UH, WOOD FOR BOATS IN THE BACK AND THE FRONT TO MAKE A RIGHT WITH THE ENGINEER.
HAVE YOU SUBMITTED ALL
HAVE YOU SUBMITTED THOSE DOCUMENTS? YES.
CAN WE SEE THOSE? I HAVE ALL THE PROOFS.
WHAT I'M DOING CHAIR, THIS IS JUDY KRUM.
ON THE SCREEN IS A ENGINEER'S LETTER.
WE ALSO HAVE PAYMENT RECEIPTS, FOUNDATION LEVELING DOCUMENTS, BLUEPRINTS AND PHOTOS TO PRESENT.
UH, SO CAN WE SEE THOSE DOCUMENTS ON THE SCREEN NOW? ARE THE BLUEPRINTS,
[00:35:49]
THE DOCUMENT ON THE SCREEN IS RELATED TO THE FOUNDATION.THE DOCUMENT ON YOUR SCREEN IS RELATED TO PAYMENT RECEIPTS.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME PHOTOS THAT WERE PRESENTED BY THE OWNER.
UH, AS, AS I UNDERSTOOD THOSE DOCUMENTS, THE FOUNDATION, UH, CONTRACT WAS, UH, ISSUED OCTOBER 17TH, UH, 1925.
IT DID NOT APPEAR FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THAT WORK WAS COMPLETE.
IS IS THE FOUNDATION WORK COMPLETED? NOT YET.
IT'S ALMOST BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO LEVEL IN, BUT IT'S CLOSE TO FINISH OF THE HOUSE.
SO WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT WORK BEING COMPLETE? EXCUSE ME? WHEN, WHEN WILL IT BE COMPLETE? OH, WELL, UH, THEY SAY IT IS VERY CLOSE.
I NEED TO ASK HIM TO THE, TO THE MEN WHEN HE GONNA COMPLETE IT.
BUT IT'S, UH, VERY CLOSE TO COMPLETED BECAUSE IT'S, THEY ALREADY START MARKET WHERE THE CONCRETE PILOT'S GONNA BE TO START WORKING ON THE PILOT, WORKING, TRYING TO WORK IN EVERY, EVERYTHING TO KEEP WORKING BECAUSE, UH, THE THING IS WE NEED, AS SOON I HAVE THE BLUEPRINTS, I WANT TURN IT IN THE, THE, THE, TO GET THE PERMITS BECAUSE THEY NEED TO MAKE THE ADDITION WHILE FALL DOWN TO THE BACK AND THE FRONT TO CONTINUE LEVELING EXACTLY WHERE IT GONNA BE TO FINISH IS WHY I NEEDED THE PERMITS.
UH, AS SOON THEY, THEY TOLD ME THEY GONNA BRING ME THE BLUEPRINTS BEFORE NINE, BUT THEY COULDN'T SEND ME THE, BUT I ALREADY PAID FOR THAT.
I ALREADY PAID A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY.
I INCLUDE, UH, THE, BECAUSE I KNOW I DON'T WANT BE VIOLATION OF CODE.
I KNOW I DID KEEP TRASH IN THE, IN THE
[00:40:01]
DUMPSTER.SO IT IS WHY YESTERDAY I PUT THE DUMPSTER TO START PICK UP ALL THE TRASH.
AND I WANNA WAIT BECAUSE THE OFFICER SAY, WHY NOT MAKE NOTHING MORE UNTIL WE DESIRE, BECAUSE THAT I HAVE, I NEED TO PICK UP ANY WEALTHY TRASH AND START DOING WHATEVER IS ALREADY ON THE PERMIT.
SO WE KEEPING GOING, WORKING ON THE LEVELING, NOT THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORK.
IS THAT ALL THE DOCUMENTS? UM, CAN WE GO TO THE FIRST PHOTO OF THE BEAM AND THE LAST PHOTO? THE OTHERS ARE NOTHING BUT STREET PHOTOS.
AND I WANNA, UH, YOU, YOU CAN NARRATE THIS SINCE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE HERE.
UM, THE FIRST PHOTOS, THE ONES HE JUST GAVE YOU HIS PHOTOS, THE FIRST ONE WAS OF ONE BEAM AND A P BE THE NEXT ONE.
I'M SORRY, IT'D BE THE SECOND PHOTO THEN THERE.
IS THAT WHAT THEY'RE PUTTING ON YOUR HOUSE? YEAH, THAT THE THE NEW ONES.
BUT JUST IT IS JUST FOR YEAH, THAT JUST WHEN THEY STARTED, BUT THEY HAVE A A LOT ALREADY.
UH, UH, YOU CAN SPEAK TO THE MICROPHONE.
AND WE GOT A BIGGER PICTURE UP HERE IF YOU WANNA SEE THAT ONE.
UM, NOW ON THE NEW ONE, YOU CAN SEE ALL COMPLETE TOO MANY MORE, MORE AND MORE AND MORE.
THAT ONE, THAT ONE IS NOT THE FINAL.
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, THAT'S YOUR FINAL.
NEVER IS THE FINAL BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA, UH, JUST MARKET WHERE THE COAT DESIRE, UH, THE, THE RIGHT COAT TO START DOING WITH PILOTS.
THE, THE DIAMETER 12 INCHES CONCRETE WITH REBARS.
BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE, UH, THE COMMERCIAL THING, SO THEY WANT COMMERCIAL.
WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THIS HERE IS NOT ANCHORED, CORRECT? YEAH.
THE BOTTOM BEAM STAYS THE BEAM.
BUT IS IT ANCHORED THE ANCHORED WALL TO THE JOISTS FLOOR JOISTS, THOSE PIECES THAT ARE ON TOP OF FLOOR JOISTS? YEAH.
THAT, THAT GONNA BE, IF YOU SEE IT GONNA BE REFOR, REINFORCE IT, BUT IS NOT COMPLETE.
ALL YOU SEE ON THE BACK, THE OFFICE GONNA BE GONNA BE, UH, UH, REINFORCER WITH NEW WOOD TO COMPLETE THE LEVELING, BUT IT'S NOT COMPLETE RIGHT NOW.
BUT WHAT I'M ASKING IS, IS WHAT YOU HAVE RIGHT HERE IS A BEAM, WHICH IS REQUIRED UHHUH.
AND THOSE RAFTERS ARE STUDS RIGHT THERE.
AND THESE, UH, RIMS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO GO ON HERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FASTENED TO THAT BEAM.
AND IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THEY'RE FASTENED TO IT.
UH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND EXACTLY.
UH, WHAT DO WE DO? WE HAVE THE POINTER.
WELL, YOU'RE SAYING THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT THEY HAVE TO DO NOW IS PUT IN CONCRETE? NO, NO, NO, JUST, JUST TO, UH, JUST TO START.
THEY PUT WOOD OR CONCRETE, WHATEVER THEY FIND IT JUST TO STABILIZE COMPLETE AND START LEVELING.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT I'M A GENERAL CONTRACTOR.
BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE EXPLAINING TO US IS RIGHT, RIGHT HERE IS THE MAIN BEAM THAT STAYS.
AND THEN DOWN HERE, THEY'RE GONNA POUR CONCRETE.
UH, RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT MAJOR.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO, CORRECT? CORRECT.
THESE RIGHT HERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ANCHORED.
GONNA BE ANCHORED TO THE CONCRETE, NOT TO THAT, THAT BOARD.
THEY HAVE TO BE ANCHORED TO THIS BOARD.
YEAH, THEY'RE GONNA BE ANCHORED.
BUT WHEN THEY, IT IS NOT FINISH LEVELING, THEY'RE GONNA RAISE IT UP MORE AND MORE AND MORE.
WELL, WHAT I'M SAYING IS, IS IT'S NOT ANCHORED RIGHT NOW.
SO HOW ARE THEY LEVELING? IF IT'S NOT ANCHORED? THEY YES.
NO, NOT GONNA LEVELING UNTIL RAISE IT UP.
BECAUSE THE HOUSES STILL HAVE, UH, AN ANGLE THAT WHEN THEY MARKET TO PUT THE CONCRETE, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE ANCHORED ALL COMPLETE ON THE, ON THE BOARD, ON THE SKATEBOARD.
THE OTHER PHOTO OF THE SINGLE BEAM DOWN.
WHERE'S IT SUPPOSED TO GO? YOU HAD THE, THE FIRST PHOTO RIGHT THERE.
WHERE IS THAT BEAM SUPPOSED TO GO? OH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKING.
THAT, UH, CONCRETE ON THE BOTTOM IS NOT THE, THE, THE CONCRETE FOR THE HOUSE THAT THEY MAKE A, LIKE A, SOME PIECE OF
[00:45:01]
CONCRETE INSIDE LONG TIME AGO.THEY USE IT LIKE A PUT JUST THAT THIS RIGHT HERE.
NO, IT IS NOT ANCHORED BECAUSE JUST, JUST USE IT TO NO FALL DOWN BECAUSE IT IS NOT YET READY.
JUST USE IT TO THE, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN, I HAVE ANOTHER PHOTOS TO PUT WHERE THEY USE IT.
TWO BY UH, FOUR BY, UH, SIX BY SIX TO JUST PUT IT LIKE A CONCRETE JUST TO, TO STACK MORE, UH, TO THE, TO THE BEAM TO START LEVELING.
THE HOUSE, BECAUSE HAVE A, A WOOD INSIDE AND WOOD OUTSIDE ALL COMPLETELY.
SO IT IS WHAT I TRIED TO SAVE IT.
THE OTHER PICTURE BEFORE THIS ONE HERE SHOWED A BUNCH OF, UH, UHHUH TEMPORARY.
UH, WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ANCHORED.
SO WHEN DID THEY GO IN AND PUT THE CONCRETE PIERS IN? WHEN WHEN THEY HAVE, THEY HAVE A ALMOST TO FINISH THE, THE PART, THE THE CRITICAL PART ON THE, ON THE, UH, FALL DOWN THE HOUSE IS WHY THEY NO FINISH, BUT IT IS STILL WORKING ON THAT WHEN HE FINISH AND THEN GONNA, UH, PUT THE CONCRETE AND ANCHOR AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY GONNA MEASURE IT, UH, TO SEE WHERE IT GONNA BE.
THE PILOT, THE CONCRETE TO START ADVANCE THE, THE, THE WORK WITH THE REBARS AND EVERYTHING TO ANCHOR TO THE, THAT BEAM.
SO THEY HAVEN'T STARTED ANY OTHER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE RIGHT HERE ON YOUR FOUNDATION? YES.
UH, UH, WE BRING MORE PHOTOS ON THE FRONT.
THEY GOT MORE BEAMS ALREADY ALL AROUND.
WELL SEE HERE, THESE PHOTOS DON'T DO US NO GOOD FOR FOUNDATION.
'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT SHOWING ANYTHING TO DO WITH FOUNDATION.
BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE ONES YOU PUT IN THERE AND THERE'S ONLY TWO PHOTOS THAT SHOW YOU FOUNDATION, WHICH IS THE TWO BEAM ONES.
SO THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE IS THEY ONLY PUT IN A BEAM AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED ACTUALLY LEVELING IT YET.
AND THEN THE NEXT ONE ONLY SHOW THIS ONE IS, IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED RIGHT HERE.
BUT YOU'RE NOT SHOWING US WHERE THE CONCRETE I, I HAVE, I HAVE, UH, PHOTOS SENT.
THEN WE NEED TO SEE THOSE PHOTOS SO WE CAN GET, IF THIS IS ALL THEY'VE DONE, THEN WE'RE NOT GRASPING.
WHAT THEY'RE DOING HERE IS IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE JUST PUTTING A BUNCH OF WOOD ON, ON GRADE, WHICH IS NOT IN CODE.
SO IF YOU HAVE A PHOTO OF THEM AT LEAST STARTING TO POUR THE CONCRETE OR HAVE ONE OF THEM DONE, THEN WE CAN SEE OR GRASP A LITTLE MORE OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I BELIEVE THE, THE OWNER HAS ALREADY RESPONDED THAT THEY HAVE NOT STARTED THE CONCRETE YET AND THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT.
IT IS NOT COMPLETE, IT'S NOT DONE.
UM, LET'S MOVE ON TO A NEW QUESTION IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHERS.
BUT HE WAS SAYING HE DOES HAVE SOME WITH PHOTO, WITH CONCRETE.
AND, AND NOW IT'S OVER THE STEP, OVER THE CONCRETE STEPS.
SO THEY HAVE RAISED IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE ALREADY, BUT I, I DON'T TAKE MORE PICTURES RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S ALMOST WITH ALL AROUND.
BUT IT IS NOT READY FOR THE CONCRETE TO ANCHOR YET.
THAT PICTURE DOESN'T SHOW ANY CONCRETE 'CAUSE THEY HAVEN'T POURED IT YET.
UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DID YOU BRING PROOF OF FINANCIAL MEANS? YES.
CAN WE SEE IT? UH, DO YOU WANT OF THE, YOU HAVE THIS SCREENSHOT CHAIR? UH, YES.
ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS, MR. GU, I THAT FROM THE BANK FOR ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS, MR. GUDO, UH, PROVIDED, UH, CORRECT WAS A TAX RETURN, UH, THAT CANNOT BE MADE PUBLIC, UH, NOR SHARED WITH THE BOARD.
THAT IS, UH, UM, UH, THEY TALKED TO THE BANK AND THEY, THEY GIMME, UM, I TURN IN THE APPLICATION FOR GIMME EQUITY LOANS AND PERSONAL LOANS.
[00:50:01]
UH, TWO, TWO DAYS OR THREE DAYS AGO, I WAS THERE AND HE SAY, UH, ALMOST THE PART OF THE, UH, PERSONAL LOAN I CAN GIVE YOU RIGHT AWAY.BUT THE OTHER ONE, UH, TAKE TIME TO GET THE, UH, THE EQUITY LOAN FOR THE HOUSE.
I MEAN, YEAH, EQUITY LOAN FOR MY HOUSE.
AND I DON'T HAVE ON OTHER DEBT, SO I'M RETIRED, BUT I, UH, MY WIFE IS WORKING.
THEY CAN HELP ME JUST IN CASE IF I NEED IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO DISTURB HIM BECAUSE THEY WORKING TOO HARD AND HAVE ALL, EVERYBODY HAS HOME PROBLEMS. BUT, UH, THEY CAN HELP ME JUST IN CASE I HAVE A, A PROPERTY.
I HAVE THE PROPERTY TITLE HERE IN ROMA, TEXAS WHERE I GONNA, UH, SELL IT TO KEEP WORKING ON HERE, IN HERE.
AND BECAUSE I DON'T NEED IT OVER THERE IN ROMA, TEXAS, THAT, AND IT IS, IT IS, THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY GOING UP WAS VERY GOOD FOR ME IN THAT MOMENT BECAUSE IT'S VERY CENTER OF DRAMA TEXAS, CLOSE TO THE BORDER, CLOSE TO THE SHOPPING CENTER.
SO NOW I HAVE A GOOD VALUE ON THE, THAT PROPERTY TO SELL IT.
AND I HAVE A CREDIT AND MY CREDIT CARDS ON THE BANK.
UH, YOU HAVE TWO CREDITS CARDS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, MADAM CHAIR? YES.
UH, MR. HUARDO, UH, DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE TOTAL COST TO, UH, REPAIR THIS PROPERTY SUFFICIENT TO MEET, MEET BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS? UH, NOT EXACTLY.
NOT EXACTLY, BUT I GONNA, UH, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IS I WORKING ON IT BECAUSE, UH, FOR THE MOMENT I TRY TO COVER WHATEVER NEEDS IN THIS MOMENT, LIKE, LIKE A PRIORITY TO COVER THE, THE MORE DAMAGE ON THE PROPERTY, LIKE AT THE ROOF AND UH, AND WHATEVER IS NEEDED TO NOT VIOLATE MORE VIOLATION OF CODES, LIKE A SIDING TO COVER ALL THE HOLES AND THE WINDOWS ARE GONNA WORK LATER ON THAT.
BUT I ALREADY COVER ON THE HOUSE FOR, UH, UH, WOOD, SO NOBODY GO INSIDE.
SO EVEN NO RISK FOR NOTHING, NOBODY, BECAUSE NO, NO, NO ELECTRICITY, NO WATER.
AND I'M NOT GONNA PUT GAS ON THAT.
YES, ELECTRICITY AND UH, AND, AND WATER WHENEVER IT'S READY.
SO, UH, THE, THE STORE NOT GONNA BE NO MORE STORE FOR THE MOMENT, JUST STORAGE.
SO I'M GONNA NEED JUST THE ROOF.
I'M NOT GONNA WORK INSIDE TO LIKE PUT ELECTRICITY, OTHER THINGS FOR THE MOMENT, JUST THE STORAGE BECAUSE OF WHAT I NEED JUST TO PROTECT FOR MATERIALS, WHAT I NEED TO KEEP GOING, WORKING ON THE HOUSE BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER PLACE TO PUT IT.
SAME ON THE BACK YARD, LIKE A ROOF.
I NEEDED SOMETHING TO PUT ROOF COMPLETELY TO, WE CAN WORK IN JUST IN CASE RAIN OR PROTECTION OF THE WOOD.
AND DO, DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO GET THIS BUILDING, UH, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE BUILDING CODE? IF, UH, AT THE, TO THE POINT WHERE I GONNA NEED TO PROTECTION OF THE ROOF? YES, MORE OR LESS.
BUT ONE MORE OR TWO MONTHS MORE IS, IS WHAT THE VALUE OF THE FOUNDATION SAY WE FINISH AND, AND, AND WE NEEDED TAKE SOME MONTHS TO SEE IF NO GOING DOWN TO STABILIZE AND THEN CHECK IT FOR THE DELIVERY FINAL LEVEL.
BUT THE, BUT WE CAN KEEP WORKING ON THE ROOF, ON THE, UH, STORAGE OR STORE BECAUSE THAT ONE IS, UH, FOR THE MOMENT I GONNA STABILIZE AFTER I PUT THE ROOF BECAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA BE LEVELING.
SO THEY'RE GONNA ESCAPE, PUT EVERYTHING NEED FOR STABILIZE FOR THE, UH, BLOCKS, NO CRACK NO MORE, AND GOING TO STAY IN THE SAME PLACE.
AND IT'S NOT GONNA MOVE FOR THAT IS WHAT HE EXPLAIN ME.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA BE VERY, UH, PIPES ON THE GROUND LONG WAY DOWN TO NO MOVE IT BECAUSE EVERYTHING OF THAT HOUSE IS MOVING, WAS MOVING BECAUSE ALL THE WATER GOING TO THE BELOW THE HOUSE IS WILL FALL DOWN.
SO, UH, WHEN DO YOU THINK THE FOUNDATION COM, UH, REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETE? I ASSUME BEFORE THE PERMITS EXPIRE BECAUSE IT IS WHAT HE WORRY ABOUT
[00:55:01]
THAT IT, WHAT HE TOLD ME BECAUSE HE GOT MORE WORK.SO SOMETIMES COMING TO WORK, SOMETIMES NOT BECAUSE AT A LOT OF WORKS, BUT WHEN HE COME, HE START MAKE PROGRESS ON THE, ON THE HOUSE.
SO I SAY WE OKAY BECAUSE WE GOING TO SEE PRO UH, PROGRESS ON THE LEVELING BECAUSE I TAKE A PICTURE, I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THERE, BUT I TOOK A PICTURE FROM THE BOTTOM, THE HOUSE TO SEE WHAT ELSE MORE THEY WORKING ON.
I MEAN, THEY HAVE A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY, UH, TO RAISE IT UP LITTLE BY LITTLE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY, THEY CAN'T, NO, NOBODY CAN LIFT JUST ONE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
I THINK FOR ENGINEERING, IT NEED TO BE LITTLE BY LITTLE ALL COMPLETE TOGETHER TO GET STABILIZE.
SO IT IS WHY I TAKE MORE TIME.
WHEN DO YOU THINK THIS'LL BE DONE? I NO CHECK THE PERMITS, BUT I THINK, I ASSUME IT'S IN TWO OR THREE MONTHS.
AND SO FAR THE ONLY PERMIT YOU HAVE IS FOR THE FOUNDATION, RIGHT? FOR THE MOMENT, YES, BECAUSE I NEED TO TURN IN THE, THE, TO KEEP GOING WORKING.
I NEED TO TURN IN THE, THE BLUEPRINTS IS WHAT THEY TOLD ME IS THE ENGINEER IS, IS WORKING ON THAT.
AND I WANNA, UH, CHECK FOR THE PERMITS FOR THE ROOF TO START REMOVE IT BECAUSE THEY NO WANT IT TO REMOVE ANY, TO REPAIR THE ROOF IS WHAT I TAKE.
I HAVE THE DUMPSTER BECAUSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I WANNA HAVE GET THE PERMITS FOR REMOVE THE ROOF TO START WORKING BECAUSE IT IS WHAT I NEED FOR PRIORITY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MORE DAMAGE AND AND RAIN IF RAIN.
UH, WHAT IS YOUR INTENTION WITH REGARD TO THE TWO ACCESSORY BUILDINGS? WHAT TO ACCESS? OH, DO YOU INTEND TO REPAIR THOSE? OH YEAH.
DO YOU INTEND TO DEMOLISH THOSE FIRST ON THE FRONT? WHAT UH, THE CONSTRUCTION, NEW CONSTRUCTION GONNA BE? THE FRONT GONNA BE LOOKS LIKE, UH, TOGETHER WHEN WE KNOW ON THE, ON THE BACK, THE HOUSE ARE GONNA TRY TO PUT IT TOGETHER TO NOT GET WATER INSIDE IN BETWEEN THAT GONNA STAY LIKE THAT.
AND WE GONNA, I, I ALREADY TRIED TO EXPLAIN AND TALK TO THE, UM, FOUNDATION MAN TO HOLD WHENEVER IT IS READY, HOLD THE HOUSE.
LIKE HE SAY, ANCHOR TO THE CONCRETE OF THE PILES OF THE HOUSE THAT MOVE THAT NEVER GONNA MOVE IT AWAY AGAIN.
CAN WE, CAN WE PULL UP THE PICTURES FROM THE TWO ACCESSORIES PLEASE? BECAUSE WE GONNA STAND THE BEAMS TO THE HOUSE TO GET FLOOR COMPLETE LIKE A HOUSE AGAIN TOGETHER BECAUSE NOT GONNA MOVE NO MORE AND WE CAN NEED TO GET THE WATER OUT OF THE CENTER.
I'M SORRY, HE'S TALKING ABOUT
OH, THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE? YEAH.
WHAT WERE YOU GONNA DO WITH THIS? YEAH, YEAH.
THAT, THAT OLD TRASH, UH, I, FROM THE FIRST TIME I TOLD HIM, TRY TO TRY TO SE TO SAVE THE WOOD BECAUSE THAT, THAT SIDING IS THE OLD KIND OF SIDING FOR OLD HOUSES.
SO I, I KEEP IT BECAUSE I WANNA REPAIR SAME WHAT WE HAVE IN THE SITE.
WHATEVER IS GOOD FOR, TO REPAIR BECAUSE YOU CAN FIND IT AGAIN, THE SAME SIZE OF SIDING.
SO I HAVE THAT SIDING AND I DON'T WANT TO, I TELL HIM THE GOOD SIDING WHEN YOU REMOVE IT, WHATEVER IS PIECE LITTLE ONE OR NO LITTLE ONE, WE GONNA SAVE IT BECAUSE WE DON'T FIND IT NO MORE TO REPAIR THE SAME SIDING INSIDE THE HOUSE.
AND EVEN IF YOU NEED A MOUSE MORE, BECAUSE I WORKING IN CONSTRUCTION WITH THE BUILDER AND ENGINEER BEFORE, UH, WE WORK IN ALL HOUSES AND, AND WHEN THEY THROW AWAY A LOT OF UH, THAT KIND WOOD SIDING, I REMOVE IT AND I TELL THEM, CAN I HAVE IT SAY, YEAH.
AND I, AND I TOOK IT AND SAVE IT IN, IN MY PROPERTY ANOTHER PLACE.
SO JUST IN CASE NEEDED WOOD, SPECIAL FOR REPAIR SIDING, OLD ONE.
SO THE, THE MATERIALS THAT WERE IN THE PICTURE, THAT'S PART OF THE DECONSTRUCTED WOOD THAT YOU WANT TO PRESERVE, BUT THE ACTUAL STRUCTURE IS WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS? YEAH, THIS IS TRUCK.
I, I, I ALREADY TALKED TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS, UH, GIMME AN IDEA BETTER TO MAKE A, UH, NO WOOD, I MEAN STEEL TO, TO BETTER MAKE BETTER AND UH, MAKE LIKE A PORCH WITH, UH, METAL JUST FOR THE PORCH AND SAME THING.
[01:00:01]
DEMOLISH THIS AND REBUILD NEW IF THE, IF THE CITY GIMME PERMISSION? I DON'T WANNA TOUCH IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MORE VIOLATION OF THE CODE IS WHAT I JUST, WHAT I DID IS JUST UH, UH, PUT IT STRAIGHT BECAUSE WAS LIKE A FALL DOWN, BUT I MAKE IT STRAIGHT AND NOW IT'S STRAIGHT.DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, SAME THING.
UH, I HAVE IN THE FRONT BIG TREE, UH, CAUSED TOO MUCH DAMAGE.
DAMAGE UP TO THE, TO THE ROOF.
THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR YOUR CODE OFFICER.
I NEED TO KNOW IF I CAN CUT WHATEVER GOING TO THE, TO THAT.
THAT, THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION YOU WOULD ASK YOUR CODE OFFICER.
IF I HAVE A PERMISS FOR THAT, YES.
TO CODE WHATEVER IS GOING TO THE HOUSE.
YEAH, THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR YOUR CODE OFFICER.
UM, CHERYL D OR T I'M SORRY? YEAH, DICE.
ARE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK YES FOR JUST A MINUTE? OKAY.
I LIVE AT 500 CORONA AVENUE, ZIP 7 8 2 0 9.
UH, I HAVE KNOWN MR. WADO FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
MY LATE HUSBAND AND I USED HIM FREQUENTLY AS OUR HANDYMAN AND ALSO MY MOTHER AND HER FAMILY.
UM, AS I'M LISTENING TO EVERYTHING AND, AND WHAT OFFICER SANTANA SPOKE ABOUT, UM, THERE'S A HUGE AMOUNT OF CONFUSION, UM, AS FAR AS THE PERMITS AND WHAT HAVE YOU, UNFORTUNATELY, UM, JOSE HIRED THE WORLD FOUNDATION REPAIR PEOPLE, UH, IN OCTOBER OF 2025.
UM, AND SINCE THE TIME THAT HE HAS HIRED THEM, UH, I FEEL LIKE ONCE I STARTED HEARING HIS SIDE OF THE STORY AND WHAT THE PROBLEMS HE WAS HAVING, I FEEL LIKE THEY WERE TELLING HIM YES, THEIR PART OF THE CONTRACT WAS THAT THEY WOULD GET THE PERMITS FOR HIM THAT WERE NEEDED AND THEN THEY WOULD TELL HIM, WELL, NO, WE CAN'T START BECAUSE THE CITY'S TELLING US WE NEED RESIDENTIAL PERMITS AND THEN NO, WE CAN'T START.
'CAUSE THEY'VE DECIDED NO, THAT IT'S COMMERCIAL AND BACK AND FORTH.
I FELT AS THOUGH THE COMPANY WAS POSSIBLY JUST TRYING TO STALL BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY GOTTEN A HUGE DEPOSIT FROM HIM.
AND, UM, THAT DEFINITELY WAS A, A HUGE PROBLEM.
SO WHEN THEY FINALLY WOULD START, THEY WOULD DO A LITTLE BIT AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T SHOW UP FOR LIKE A WEEK OR SO.
UH, HE WAS TOLD THAT HE FINALLY, THEY HAD THE PERMIT AND THEY STARTED IN EARNEST ON, UH, DECEMBER 10TH, 2025.
AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PUT UP A STOP WORK ORDER ON THE BUILDING.
AND THAT WAS WHEN JOSE REALLY STARTED TELLING ME WHAT WAS GOING ON.
HE SAID HE HAD TO APPEAR AT MUNICIPAL COURT ON JANUARY 13TH.
NOTHING COULD BE DONE AT THE HOUSE.
AND WHEN WE GOT THERE, UH, THE FINE WAS $300.
THEY WERE WILLING TO REDUCE IT TO 75 IF HE DIDN'T GO IN FRONT OF A JUDGE.
SO HE WENT AHEAD AND TOOK THAT BECAUSE WE ASKED IF WE CAME BACK IN FRONT OF A JUDGE.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY COULD SCHEDULE THAT AGAIN.
SO HE JUST LOST THE MONTH THERE.
UM, HE GOT ANOTHER PERMIT, AND I DO HAVE THAT ON FEBRUARY 24TH TO WORK ON A CLOSET IN THE HOUSE AFTER, UM, AFTER THEY GOT IT LEVELED.
BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE GOT THE NOTICE TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF THE BOARD THAT THEY WERE OPTING TO DEMOLISH, UH, THE PROPERTY.
SO I'M, I'M SO CONFUSED ABOUT, WELL, WHY HAS HE BEEN ISSUED THESE PERMITS? IF THE PLAN WAS THAT THE AREA NEEDED TO BE DEMOLISHED? UM, BECAUSE UP TO DATE, JOSE HAS PAID, UH, FOR PERMITS.
HE'S PAID A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF, UH, UH, DOWN PAYMENT TO THE FOUNDATION REPAIR.
HE'S, UH, PAID ENGINEERING FEES.
HE RENTED THE ROLL OFF DUMPSTER TO GET RID OF Y'ALL.
SAW THE PICTURES OF ALL THE STUFF IN THE AREA.
UM, WHICH YOU SAW TODAY WAS JUST, I THINK A THUMBNAIL, UH, FROM THE ENGINEERS.
HE'S PAID CODE VIOLATION FEES, UM, AND HE'S ALSO HIRED AND PAID A CARPENTER.
YOUR, YOUR THREE MINUTES HAS EXPIRED.
I THOUGHT I COULD, THAT WAS THE BEEPING.
[01:05:01]
ON HIS BEHALF.UM, FOR OVER THREE, NO, ONLY AN O OWNER GETS UNLIMITED TIME.
AND THE SPEAKERS GET THREE MINUTES.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THAT, YOU CAN SUBMIT, UM, THE FULL COMMENT TOO.
OFFICER SANTANA, A DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER.
UM, SO WHEN YOU WERE SPEAKING EARLIER, YOU SAID HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF, WAS, THAT WAS A PLEA DEAL, NOT A, A JUDGE SAYING YOU ARE GUILTY? UH, CORRECT.
UM, WHEN WE WENT, UH, TO COURT, UM, HE HAD GONE, LIKE I SAID, AFTER I ISSUED THE CITATION, SOMEBODY WENT AND GOT THE FOUNDATION PERMIT AFTER THE CITATION WAS ISSUED.
SO THE FACT THAT HE DID ACTUALLY OBTAIN THE PERMIT, WE WERE WILLING TO REDUCE THE FINE TO $75.
AND YOU, YOU SAID THAT THE PERMIT WAS PULLED 20 MINUTES AFTER THE CITATION, CORRECT? I ISSUED THE CITATION.
IT EITHER IT WAS HIM OR THE FOUNDATION COMPANY.
I DON'T KNOW WHO PAID FOR IT, BUT IT WAS TIMESTAMPED 20 MINUTES AFTER.
SO A ACCORDING TO THE, THE, THE OTHER INFORMATION GIVEN TO US, THE, UM, THE OWNER MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PERMIT ALREADY.
IT WOULD IF IT WAS THE, THAT'S WHY I WANT TO KNOW WHO PULLED THE PERMIT.
IF, IF IT WAS THE COMPANY, THE COMPANY DEFRAUDED HIM.
AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY HIS FAULT.
I HAVE NO IDEA OF KNOWING THAT.
AND IT'S NOT PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS THAT THE PERSON THAT FILES AND PULLS THE PERMIT IS NOT REQUIRED TO SHOW IDENTIFICATION OR ANYTHING? I'M SURE THAT SOMETHING, UM, YOU KNOW, HE SIGNED THE APPLICATION.
MR. WAR HARDO SIGNED THE APPLICATION.
AS FAR AS WHO PAID FOR IT, I DON'T KNOW.
YEAH, THAT, THAT, THAT WAS MY QUESTIONS.
THE ZONING OF THIS IS 99, CORRECT? Z NINE NINE? UM, LEMME SEE.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT'S ON THE PAPERWORK.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A C TWO ZONING.
I'M NOT, IT SAID INFORMATION Z NINE NINE.
BUT CAN YOU EXPLAIN, CAN YOU PUT UP A PICTURE OR I'M SORRY, UH, JPEG, UM, 94, THAT RIGHT THERE DIVIDES THE, THE BUILDINGS CORRECT TO THE FRONT ELEVATION.
UM, IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE CRACK TO THE BACK, IT'S STILL CONNECTED.
SO THIS WHOLE THING, AND THE REASON I ASK IS WHAT IS THE ZONING OF THIS IS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THERE SEEMS TO BE A ZONING ISSUE.
'CAUSE SOME SAY IT'S RESIDENTIAL AND SOME SAY IT'S COMMERCIAL.
THE PROPERTY IS LISTED AS C TWO.
THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE RESIDENCE, THE HOUSE, WELL, THE USAGE OF THE HOUSE WAS RESIDENTIAL.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, I BELIEVE IT'S ONE TIME WAS USED FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
SO HE HAS A COMBINATION ON BOTH ENDS OF IT.
SO THAT COULD BE THE CONFUSION THAT THEY'RE TELLING HIM IS YEAH, THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE HOUSE AND TELLING.
'CAUSE UH, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE SLAB IS CONCRETE.
THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, THE BRICKS, THE ADDITION WAS THE SLAB ON GRID.
AND THEY'RE SAYING THE HOUSE PEER AND BEAM NEEDS TO BE DONE COMMERCIAL.
BECAUSE I THINK, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE IT'S ALL CONNECTED.
I, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SPECULATE ON THAT.
SO THEN THAT WOULD, WELL YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
IF IT'S ZONED AS C TWO, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO UNDER THE COMMER, UH, UNDER RESIDENTIAL ZONING, CORRECT.
I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU ON THAT END.
IF HE'S BRINGING IT UP TO CODE, THAT WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON, ON WHAT HIS, UM, REQUIREMENTS ARE, WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO.
IF HE'S GONNA BRING IT UP TO LIVING AS A LIVING OR RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE, OR IF THE ENTIRE PROPERTY IS GONNA BE UTILIZED FOR COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE APPLIED FOR OR WHAT HE IS LOOKING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY ON THE STIPULATION OF THOSE, UM,
[01:10:01]
REPAIRS.WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN HE WENT TO GET THE PERMITS AND STUFF, THEY'RE TELLING HIM THAT IT HAS TO BE COMMERCIAL, BUT IT'S ZONED RESIDENTIAL.
THAT WOULD'VE BEEN FOR HIM TO HAVE CLARIFIED WITH, UH, AT THE PERMIT COUNTER.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD A, A CLARIFICATION POINT ON THAT.
WE, WE WOULDN'T HAVE WALKED WITH HIM TO APPLY FOR THAT PERMIT OR CLARIFIED THAT FORM.
HE WOULD NEED TO STIPULATE THAT WITH THE, WITH THE PERMIT COUNTER.
SO I GUESS IT ALL GO BACK TO THE SAME FACT THAT IF IT CONNECTS IT, THEN IT, THEN IT'D HAVE TO APPLY FOR REZONING.
THE PROPERTY IS CONSIDERED ONE, ONE PROPERTY AT THIS TIME.
SO THEN HE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH A REZONING THEN IF THEY'RE SAYING IT'S COMMERCIAL, WHICH MEANS HE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PAPERWORK FOR REZONE TO GET IT FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL.
IF HE WANTED TO DOWN ZONE, THAT MAY BE A POSSIBILITY.
THAT WOULD BE, UM, SOMETHING FOR THE OWNER TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
WELL IT'S C TWO NOW IS WHAT THE THING SAYS.
NO, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED C TWO.
THE USAGE FOR HALF OF THE PROPERTY PREVIOUSLY APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN RESIDENTIAL.
THE USAGE IS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT'S ZONED.
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING IS IF IT'S CONNECTED, SOMEBODY DIDN'T CHANGE THE ZONE BECAUSE IF IT'S C ONE, IT'S COMMERCIAL.
THERE'S, THERE'S NO CHANGING THE ZONE.
THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD REQUIRE, UM, A REQUEST FROM THE OWNER TO CHANGE OR DOWNGRADE HIS ZONING.
WELL THAT, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
THEY'RE TELLING HIM IT'S A C ONE TO GO COMMERCIAL FOR THE FOUNDATION ON P AND BEAM.
IF SO, IF IT'S A C TWO, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE CONFUSING IT BECAUSE THEY'RE SAYING IT'S A C ONE AND HE'S SAYING IT'S A C TWO.
AND IT'S MARKED IN THE PAPERWORK C TWO, WHICH MEANS RESIDENTIAL.
ARE ANY OF THE R DESIGNATIONS, SIR, ARE RESIDENTIAL? IT'S THE FIRST LETTER OF, THE WORD C IS COMMERCIAL R RESIDENTIAL.
SO ALL THIS LOT IS A COMMERCIAL LOT.
DO WE KNOW WHEN THAT WAS ZONED? BECAUSE THIS HOUSE WAS BUILT WHAT, 1933? 33 TO 45 I THINK IS WHAT IT SAID.
THE COMMERCIAL PORTION WAS ADDED IN 1955 I GUESS BECAUSE WHEN THEY ATTACHED IT, YOU TOOK THE WHOLE THING.
SO HE'S APPLIED FOR COMMERCIAL PERMITS AND HE STILL WANTS TO CONNECT THE OLD, THE HOUSE PART TO THE, WHICH IS WHAT'S THE PROBLEM THERE? IT'S ALREADY CONNECTED.
IT WELL, IT'S PARTIALLY BECAUSE OF YEAH, BUT THE PLANS.
BUT YEAH, THE PLANS THAT WERE PRESENTED SHOWS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO CONNECT IT COMPLETELY.
SO THE CONNECTION WILL STILL BECOME THE SAME.
AND HE ALSO STATED THAT IT IS NOT HIS INTENTION TO USE THAT AS COMMERCIAL, BUT AS STORAGE TO USE THAT BUILDING.
'CAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHAT WAS CONFUSING.
'CAUSE THEY'RE TELL THERE'S A, A RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL MM-HMM.
CONFLICT HERE, WHICH IS NOT REALLY BECAUSE IT'S COMMERCIAL AND THAT'S WHY HE'S HAVING PROBLEMS PULLING THE PERMITS BECAUSE WHAT, AND WE ONLY ADDRESS THE HOUSE SIDE OF IT.
WE DIDN'T ADDRESS THE CONCRETE SITE.
IN WHAT, IN WHAT ASPECT? WE'VE ONLY BEEN ADDRESSING THE FOUNDATION ON THE HOUSE SIDE.
THE CASE, BUT WHEN WE WERE TALKING TO THE, TO THE PROPERTY OWNER, WE'VE ONLY ADDRESSED THE FOUNDATION STUFF FOR THE HOUSE SIDE AND WE HAVEN'T TOUCHED EVEN THE CONCRETE SIDE.
HE DID STATE THAT THE CONCRETE SIDE DID NOT NEED LEVELING.
WELL, THE BRICKS DO, BUT IT NEEDED STAB, STABILIZING IS WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
I PUT A LEVEL ON THE INSIDE AND IT IS, UH, AS YOU WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR OF THE CONCRETE SECTION, IT SINKS TO THE RIGHT.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU GUYS KEEP IT ON THE MIC.
[01:15:10]
UM, MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS GEORGE GRIMES.I MOVE THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 25 ROPER.
I DON'T THINK YOUR MIC IS ON OR YOU NEED TO BE CLOSER.
UM, I, I, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON 7 25 ROPER STREET.
UH, WITH REGARD TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE, UH, I MOVE THAT IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY BE REPAIRED WITHIN, UH, 90 DAYS OF THE INSURANCE OF THIS ORDER WITH REGARD TO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES MOVE THAT THE, UH, ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE AND ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO ARE PUBLIC NUISANCES, WHICH ARE NOT FEASIBLY BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND ARE IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6.
UH, AS TO ACCESSORY ONE, UH, 7, 8, 12, AND 15 AS TO ACCESSORY 2, 5, 8, 12, AND 15.
AND THAT THOSE PROP, THOSE ACCESSORY BUILDINGS BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN, UH, 30 DAYS.
SO THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY AT 7 25 RIVER STREET FOR THE MAIN IS A PUBLIC INNOCENCE, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO REPAIRED AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 5 6, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITHIN 90 DAYS.
AND FOR THE ACCESSORIES, ONE AND TWO ARE NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AND IN IS IN VIOLATION OF CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION 1 56 FOR ACCESSORY ONE SUBSECTIONS 7, 8, 12, AND 15, AND FOR ACCESSORY TO SUBSECTIONS 5, 8, 12, AND 15 AND SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND? THIS IS YVONNE ADDISON, I SECOND.
ANY DISCUSSION? CAN WE DO A ROLL CALL VOTE OR, I'M SORRY.
MOTION PASSES WITH A VOTE OF FIVE TO TWO, I'M SORRY, FOUR TO TWO.
YOU MAY GET WITH THE CODE OFFICER TO GET YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.

UH, I JUST WANT TO ADD, UM, ACCORDING TO THE, UH, STRUCTURE, TENANTS, TENANTS, THEY STATED THAT EVERY TIME IT RAINS, IT START LEAKING.
SO JUST WANT TO BRING THAT UP TO THE BOARD OF ATTENTION.
TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED IN 1918 MCCULLOUGH AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56, SUBSECTION 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITION OR DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS ARE OF DEFECTS, ARE DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS REPAIRS.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 1918 MCCULLOUGH AVENUE.
UH, I DO HAVE, OH, SORRY, GO AHEAD.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A DEFINITION 11 FOR THE SUBSECTIONS, PLEASE.
UM, SO IT, THERE'S A RENTER AT THE PROPERTY THAT RUNS THE BUSINESS, OR, YES, IT IS A TIRE SHOP, MA'AM.
[01:30:01]
IS NOT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY? NO, THEY'RE, THEY'RE THE TENANTS.THEY'RE PAYING RENT AND THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE GETTING
UH, DO YOU KNOW WHO, UH, DID YOU EVER TALK TO THE MR. ALLISON THAT WAS A CONTRACTOR AGAIN? NO, MA'AM.
AFTER THAT, MA'AM, HE CALLED ME AND HE WAS TRYING TO GET MORE INFORMATION.
HE SAID HE GONNA DO ALL THE REPAIRS NEEDED, HE GONNA PAINT ALL THE PERMITS, BUT NONE OF THAT HAPPENS.
AND THERE IS WATER AND ELECTRICITY AT THESE PROPERTIES? YES, MA'AM.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, GO AHEAD.
CAN JUST GET CLARIFICATION ON THAT LEFT SIDE, UH, BRICK, UH, WALL ON THE FRONT THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT IS, UH, STRUCTURAL, IT IS SUPPORTING THAT IT IS FALLING AWAY.
AND YOU DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE FOUNDATION THAT IT IS STARTING TO SINK DEGRADE, BUT IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THAT CORNER? CAN YOU PUT WHICH PICTURE? PICTURE? YEAH, TO THE FIRST PHOTO.
IT'S ACTUALLY THE, THE, THE BRICK SIDING IS DETACHING.
UM, THE FOUNDATION, THE, THE WAY THAT THE, THE STRUCTURE IS DESIGNED IS, HAS LIKE A LITTLE, LIKE, IT'S GOING UP AND DOWN.
LIKE WHEN YOU DRIVE, THEY HAVE LIKE A LITTLE DRIVEWAY AT THE FRONT.
SO I BELIEVE THIS IS HOW IT HAD BEEN DESIGNED.
SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ISSUES WITH THE FOUNDATION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, MADAM CHAIR? YES.
UH, DID YOU SAY THERE HAVE BEEN NO PERMITS, UH, ISSUED FOR THIS, FOR REPAIR OF THIS BUILDING? NO, SIR.
ON 11 25 25, A EMAIL WAS SENT TO THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM.
IF THIS IS A BUSINESS, AN ACTIVE BUSINESS, WHY WAS AN EMAIL SENT TO VACANT TO THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM? SO THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM IS THEY, THEY COORDINATE WITH THE OHP, THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC RESERVATION.
SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE GREEN LIGHT FROM, UH, THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC RESERVATION TO CONFIRM THAT IT'S NOT SUBJECT FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
SO IT IS JUST A PART OF THE PROCESS.
WE SEND IT TO THE VVP AND TO THE OHP.
UH, WE DO HAVE THE OWNER HERE.
UM, HERBERT, I DON'T WANNA PUT YOUR LAST NAME.
MR. LENARD, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND COME UP.
UH, JUST FOR THE BOARD'S, UH, CLARIFICATION.
THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM WAS OPERATED UNDER THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION, SO THAT'S WHY THEY WERE BOTH INCLUDED.
UH, SUBSEQUENT, UH, STARTING APRIL 1ST, UH, THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM IN ITS ENTIRETY HAS MOVED UNDER CODE ENFORCEMENT.
YOU WANT TO STAND, UH, FOR RIGHT NOW? YEAH, I MAY HAVE TO USE IT.
DO I HAVE THE FLOOR? UH, DO I HAVE THE FLOOR NOW? YEAH.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M GOING TO WAIT ONE SECOND.
CAN, CAN YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR, UH, CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT OR YOUR ADDRESS? I'M SORRY, WHAT? YOUR, YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT, OR YOUR ADDRESS? UH, MY NAME IS HERBERT LENARD.
MY ADDRESS IS TWO 20 WEST SKYVIEW.
UH, I WANTED TO ASK FOR, UH, RESET ON THIS BECAUSE I WASN'T PREPARED.
I JUST GOT NOTICE ON THIS FRIDAY.
HOWEVER, I CALLED YOUR OFFICES AND MADE NOTE OF THAT.
AND WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IS THAT THEY'VE BEEN SENDING IT TO THE WRONG ADDRESS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY, AND I'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION WITH 'EM BEFORE, BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.
I'VE LIVED AT TWO 20 LEWIS SKYVIEW FOR 26, 27 YEARS.
I HAVE AN OFFICE BUILDING DOWN THE STREET AT 1000 NORTH MAIN.
IF YOU NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME TO THE OFFICER HERE, THE ONLY CONTACT I'VE HAD WITH HIM OR NOTICE IS THROUGH MY TENANTS WHEN HE COMES BY TO VISIT HIM.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM MAKING THE REPAIRS, AND THAT'S WHY WE RETAINED MR. ALLISON.
UNFORTUNATELY, MR. ALLISON PASSED AWAY TWO WEEKS AGO.
SO I'M GETTING ANOTHER CONTRACTOR NOW.
[01:35:01]
A SHORT NOTICE.I'VE GOT AN ENGINEER'S STATEMENT, IF YOU'D LIKE TO LOOK AT IT, IS THAT WOULD HELP YOU IN YOUR DECISION MAKING.
BUT AS FAR AS THE CONTRACT I HAVE, I DON'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT CONTRACTOR.
I DON'T HAVE ABILITY TO FILE PERMITS DURING THAT SHORT TIME PERIOD.
FRIDAY TILL TODAY, I HAVE NO PROBLEM REPAIRING THE BUILDING.
NOW, THAT BUILDING WAS MY OFFICE FOR 30 YEARS.
I MOVED OUT AND BOUGHT THE BUILDING OF 1000 NORTH MAIN ACROSS FROM MOVIES.
THAT'S WHERE I CURRENTLY OFFICE AND I HAVE THREE TENANTS IN THERE, AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH CO COMPLIANCE THERE.
I THINK WHAT THE PROBLEM IS HERE IS YOU'VE GOT ALL THESE NEW CONDOS BUILT UP AROUND THERE, AND PEOPLE DON'T WANT A TIRE SHOP IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT'S, I THINK THAT'S THE PREVAILING ISSUE.
SO I'VE ALREADY MADE PLANS TO BUILD SOME CONDOS THERE.
HOWEVER, I'M NOT GONNA DO IT AT THIS INTEREST RATE.
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUT THAT OUT.
I'VE GOT BANK FINANCING IN LINE, BUT I'M NOT GONNA PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY.
BUT I'VE GOT ARCHITECTURAL PLANS, WHICH I CAN PROVIDE FOR, FOR A SEVEN UNIT CONDO, COMMERCIAL PARTIAL CAR, UH, MIXED USE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL AT THAT LOCATION.
HOWEVER, I'M NOT GONNA PULL THE TRIGGER ON THAT UNTIL I GET MY FINANCING IN LINE.
SO I WOULD PREPARE, I WOULD PROTECT THESE GUYS AT THE TIRE SHOP.
THEY'VE BEEN THERE LIKE 15 YEARS AND I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM MAKING THE REPAIRS.
AND I'VE BEEN MAKING THE REPAIRS AND I'VE CERTAINLY BEEN, I'VE HAD THIS CONTRACTOR, HE WAS READY TO PULL THE TRIGGER TO GET GOING, AND UNFORTUNATELY HE DIED.
SO I'VE GOT OTHER CONTRACTORS LINED UP, BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE TIME TO GO OUT THERE, LOOK AT THE BUILDING AND, AND ASSESS IT.
NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS ENGINEER'S REPORT, THERE'S NOTHING STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH THE BUILDING, AND HE DOES RECOMMEND SOME OF THE REPAIRS THAT YOU NOTED IN THAT PRESENTATION.
BUT AS FAR AS THE, THE CRACKS IN THE WALL, I BOUGHT THIS BUILDING 1978, THE CRACKS WERE IN THE WALL WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND THEY'RE IN THE FLOOR WHEN I BOUGHT IT.
THE DROP CEILING IS WHAT I PUT IN THERE WHEN I HAD MY OFFICES.
UNFORTUNATELY, THESE GUYS AT THE TIRE SHOP HAVE THIS TIRE MACHINE THAT GOES UP AND DOWN AND POPS THE TIRES AND POPS THE RIMS AND EVERYTHING UP INTO THE, THEY BROKEN THEM ALL.
BUT THE, THE, THAT WAS JUST A, A COSMETIC THING THAT WAS, I PUT THAT IN THERE TO, AND I, BECAUSE I HAD AIR CONDITIONING COMING IN THERE, I HAD DROP CEILING LIGHTING.
THAT WAS ALL CUSTOM MADE 15, 20 YEARS AGO FOR MY OFFICES THERE.
BUT I DON'T THINK THE, THE CEILING TILES, I MEAN, I CAN REPLACE THOSE IF THAT'S GONNA BE AN ISSUE.
THE EXTENSION CORD'S AN NOT EXTENSION CORD.
IT'S A PNEUMATIC CARD BECAUSE THESE GUYS RUN THE HOSES OUT FROM THEIR, THEIR, UH, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT, THEIR COMPRESSORS OUT TO THE LOT TO DO PEOPLE'S TIRES AND TAKE THEIR TIRES OFF.
BUT IF THERE'S AN EXTENSION CORD LAYING THERE, NO PROBLEM.
'CAUSE ONCE THEY WERE NOTICED, I'M SURE THAT THEY PULLED IT.
BUT I, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK I'VE COVERED ALL THE ISSUES.
THE ONLY THING I CAN'T COVER IS, IS THE, UH, ESTIMATE ON THE REPAIRS RIGHT NOW AND A CONTRACTOR'S ESTIMATE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE IT OTHER THAN MR. ALLISON'S.
ANY QUESTIONS? UH, MADAM CHAIR, I HAVE A QUESTION.
UH, THE NOTES THAT WE HAVE, UH, FROM THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER ON, UH, APRIL THE FOURTH OF 2025 SAID THAT, UH, MR. ALLISON CALLED THE OFFICER, UH, WHO SAID HE WAS A CONTRACTOR AND THAT THE, UH, OFFICER THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER TO CONFIRM AND THE PROPERTY OWNER CONFIRMED.
SO DID YOU TALK TO THE CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER APRIL THE FOURTH OF 2025? I DON'T RECALL THAT DATE, BUT YES, I HAVE TALKED TO HIM SEVERAL TIMES ON THE PHONE.
THAT'S THE ONLY CONTACT I'VE HAD, AND THAT'S THE ONLY NOTICE IS WHEN HE GOES BY THE FACILITY AND TALKS TO LIEUTENANTS AND THEY CALL ME UP ON THE PHONE.
AND OR AS FAR AS IN WRITING THIS NOTICE THAT I GOT FRIDAY, I MEAN, THEY BROUGHT IT OVER TO ME.
IT WASN'T SENT TO MY A BUSINESS OR MY HOME.
WHAT, WHAT IS THE ADDRESS THAT'S ON BA? ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? UH, MAD CHAIR.
UH, AS FAR AS THE ADDRESS, UH, NOTICE WAS SENT TO THE ADDRESS LISTED FOR THE OWNER MM-HMM.
ON BEXAR COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT.
UH, RESEARCH WAS DONE ON THAT ADDRESS.
SO AS FAR AS, UH, NOTICE, ALL NOTICE REQUIREMENTS WERE MET WITH THE
[01:40:01]
ADDRESSES.SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT, UH, MR. POLLARD, UH, YOU UPDATE THE OWNERSHIP INFORMATION WITH THE BEXAR COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT.
WHAT ADDRESS IS THAT? UH, VILLAGE WAY.
UH, WELL THAT'S, UH, COUNTY WEST.
I'VE USED MY HOME ADDRESS AND 1000 NORTH MAIN IS MY BUSINESS ADDRESS.
ALL MY TAX NOTICES GO TO THOSE ADDRESSES.
WELL, BEAR COUNTY HAS, THAT'S MY SON'S ADDRESS.
HERBERT LAWRENCE ARD AT 51 0 7 VILLAGE WAY.
UH, TITLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT ADDRESS AS BEING YOURS.
SO ADDRESSES WERE SENT, UH, PURSUANT TO, UH, THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS OF 54 AND TWO 14.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT BEAR COUNTY HAS.
SO YOU WOULD HAVE TO PARDON ME THAT THAT IS WHAT BEAR COUNTY HAS UNDER THE TITLE SEARCH.
SO YOU WOULD NEED TO UPDATE THAT WITH THEM.
UM, ANY, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? UH, WE SEE THE ENGINEER'S REPORT HERE.
IS THIS THE FULL REPORT? IS IT STAMPED? YES, THE REPORT IS 12 PAGES THAT WILL GO THROUGH THE REPORT.
AND SIR, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MOST OF THIS REPORT ALREADY CONCURS WITH WHAT YES.
CORRECT? SIR, YOU HAVE ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MOST OF THIS REPORT CONCURRED A LOT OF IT.
YES, EXCEPT FOR THE CRACKS IN THE BUILDING, WHICH THE ENGINEER DISPELLED BECAUSE THOSE AREN'T STRUCTURAL.
WELL, THAT'S WHY I SAID MOST OF THE REPORT.
YEAH, THE BACK AREA WHERE THE CEILING JOIST IS ROTTED OUT.
IT HAS TO HAVE A GUTTER TAKEN DOWN.
THERE'S A STRIP ON THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.
UM, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD? OKAY.
UH, I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM AS FAR AS LIKE COMMUNICATING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER, IT WAS DONE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PHONE AND VIA TEXT MESSAGES.
AND AS I MENTIONED IN MY OUTLINES, THIS IS THE ONLY PROPERTY THAT, UH, WE DID THE CONFERENCE MEETING, UH, REQUEST TWICE BECAUSE I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MR. LAWRENCE REQUESTING TO RESCHEDULE.
SO THAT'S WHY THIS IS THE ONLY PROPERTY THAT WE DID THE CONFERENCE MEETING ATTEMPT TWICE.
MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS FERNANDEZ.
I'D LIKE TO, UH, MAKE A MOTION.
I MOTION THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, UM, 1 9 1 8 MCCULLOUGH AVENUE.
IS IT PUBLIC NUISANCE, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO REPAIR.
AND AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO DO A RESET SO HE WOULD HAVE TIME TO FIND A CONTRACTOR, UM, AND, AND GET THE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS.
I'D LIKE TO RESET TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE.
SO THE MOTION IS TO RESET TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE AND TO REQUIRE, UH, THE DOCUMENTS.
YEAH, BECAUSE HIS CONTRACTOR HAS PASSED, SO HE NEED TO GET ALL OF HIS, UH, PAPERS TOGETHER AND A CONTRACTOR.
'CAUSE HE CAN'T BRING US TO BID, SO WE CAN'T GIVE HIM A TIMELINE IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT DOCUMENT.
UH, IS THERE A SECOND? I SECOND.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? UH, I WOULD LIKE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, UH, ADD, UH, FINANCIAL MEANS TO THAT DOCUMENT.
WELL, THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED YEAH.
UM, WELL, WE REQUIRE THE CONTRACTOR, THE COURT CONTRACTOR, THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
UM, WHAT ENGINEERS, ENGINEERS REPORT, WHICH HE'S ALREADY GOT.
BUT IF WE GO, ANYTHING OVER 60 DAYS WILL REQUIRE SPECIFIC, SO HE HAS THAT TIME TO GET ALL OF THAT TOGETHER BEFORE HE COMES BACK TO US.
AND IT IS SPECIFIED WITHIN THE SHEET THAT YOU READ THE THREE YEAH, NO, I KNOW THAT.
AND THEN CODE CAN, UH, GIVE HIM GUIDANCE.
SO WE'RE REQUIRING THE TWO DOCUMENTS THAT WE ARE MISSING? YES.
AND THAT'S GOOD, MELINDA? YES.
