UM, LAR GAR GARCIA AT THE TIME OF THE INSPECTION DID PROMISE TO ATTEND, BUT SHE FELT TO DO SO ON DECEMBER 5TH. UM, WE DID ISSUE ANOTHER NOTICE FOR WINDOW GLAZING. ELECTRIC FACILITIES REQUIRED IS POST AND POSTED AND MAILED. AND THE REASON FOR THAT WAS, UM, WE DID ANOTHER INSPECTION, A REINSPECTION ON DECEMBER 4TH, AND AT WHICH TIME ON DECEMBER 5TH, WE POSTED NOTICE AGAIN ON AUGUST 11TH, 2026. OUR RESEARCH FOUND THAT SAWS SHUT OFF THE WATER ON JULY 26TH, UH, FOR NONPAYMENT AND TAMPERING SAWS HAS A PANDERING ORDER TO REMOVE THE METER FOR TAMPERING.

THEN AUGUST 12TH, 2026. [00:10:01] ANOTHER NOTICE AGAIN, THE WATER GOT TURNED OFF AGAIN. SO WE ISSUED ANOTHER NOTICE FOR THE WATER TO BE TURNED BACK ON. THIS IS, UH, YOU CLEARLY SEE THAT THERE IS NO METER AT THE PROPERTY. UM, YOU SEE AN EXTENSION CORD, THE INSPECTIONS, UM, YOU'LL SEE PHOTOS HERE. NEXT PHOTO WHERE THEY WERE USING A GENERATOR. UH, THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE ISSUED THAT NOTICE TO VACATE SHORTLY AFTER THE FIRST INSPECTION. UM, REPORTS TO US THAT, THAT, UM, GENERATOR WAS CONTINUALLY USED ALMOST 24 7. AND, UM, THOSE THINGS ARE NOT MADE TO BE RUNNING ALL THE TIME. THEY CAN CATCH FIRE. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ISSUED NOTICE TO VACATE FOR THOSE REASONS, FOR THOSE ELECTRICAL HAZARD. AGAIN, THAT'S AUGUST 19TH, AND THAT, UM, JUST TO BE CLEAR ON THAT, ALSO, THAT GENERATOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND IS NO LONGER USED. IT'S NO LONGER ON THE PROPERTY. THEY STILL DON'T HAVE POWER. UH, THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE WINDOW GLAZING ON DECEMBER 4TH, 2025. NEXT PHOTO. THERE'S DECEMBER 4TH, 2025. YOU SEE THE GENERATOR AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN REMOVED. NEXT PHOTO, APRIL 7TH, 2025.

SEPTEMBER 2ND, MOST RECENT, UH, WITH THE, UM, BROKEN GLAZING TO THE LEFT ON THE, WITH THE TAPE. AND THEN THE METER, UM, THAT IS NOT ON, UH, IT'S NOT HOOKED UP THE SEPTEMBER 2ND BROKEN WINDOW, SEPTEMBER 2ND. THERE IS A METER THERE. HOWEVER, LIKE I SAID, SAWS CONFIRMED THE WATER SHOULD BE SHUT OFF, AND THEY DO HAVE A CURRENT WORK ORDER TO REMOVE THE SERVICES. AND ALL THAT IS PRETTY MUCH FOR DUE TO NONPAYMENT AND TAMBOURINE. AND WE DID ABATE THE PROPERTY. UM, ON NOVEMBER 12TH, 25. WE DID, UH, CLEAN THE PROPERTY. UM, WE REMOVED ABOUT 12 TRASH BINS WITH THE HELP OF SOLID WASTE. UM, THEY WERE BRINGING IN MULTIPLE TRASH BINS, POSSIBLY PRETTY MUCH STOLEN FROM OTHER PROPERTIES WHERE THEY, THEY HAD A LOT OF TRASH IN THESE BINS. UH, BUT WE DID CLEAN THE PROPERTY. AND AGAIN, UH, SOLID WASTE DID REMOVE THOSE TRASH BINS FROM THE PROPERTY. THEN ON JUNE 15TH, 2026, UH, WE DID ISSUE A, UM, EXCUSE ME, UH, JUNE 15TH, WE DID ISSUE ANOTHER, UM, NOTICE FOR THEM TO CLEAN THE PROPERTY AGAIN. AND WE DO HAVE A CURRENT WORK ORDER TO HAVE THAT PROPERTY ABATED A SECOND TIME. UM, SO THAT WOULD BE DONE HERE IN THE, THE NEAR FUTURE. WE ALSO ISSUED CITATIONS ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2025. UM, THE COURT, UH, DATE WAS OCTOBER 21ST, 2025 WITH THE OWNER OR THE ESMERALDA NOT SHOWING UP THAT DAY. SHE WAS FOUND LIABLE AND THE FINE WAS $300.

ESMARALDA GARCIA DID NOT APPEAR AND WAS FOUND LIABLE. $500. AND THEN WE HAVE A, A CODE OF HISTORY, ABOUT 24 CASES GOING BACK TO 2024. SO STAFF RECOMMENDS FOR THE WINDOW GLAZING BE REPAIRED, WATER SUPPLY AND ELECTRICAL ASSISTANCE REQUIRED TO BE RESTORED TO ACTIVE SERVICE. THE STRUCTURE BE VACATED AND SECURED AND OBTAINED, UH, REQUIRED PERMITS. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 1 44 D. SO, UM, IS THERE, THERE'S STILL A TENANT THERE. IT, IT SAYS TENANT IN THE, YEAH, SO AS MARLA GARCIA, SHE'S, SHE'S THE DAUGHTER'S, UM, I MEAN, EXCUSE ME. SHE'S THE DAUGHTER OF THE DECEASED OWNER. UM, SHE HAS NOT LEFT. WE DID OFFER SERVICES, UM, MULTIPLE TYPES OF SERVICES TO HER, UH, TO HER SON AND ONE OTHER OCCUPANT. UM, IT, IT DOES SEEM TO HAVE DIED DOWN FROM THE FIRST DART THAT WE DID. THERE WAS MULTIPLE PEOPLE THERE. UM, OUR CUT OFFICER WHEN SHE WAS GONE OUT, IT'S BEEN MAINLY HER THAT'S THERE. UM, AND MAYBE HER, ANOTHER TENANT THAT'S A FRIEND OF HERS. OKAY. SO THE DAUGHTER WOULD BE THE ONE OF THE HEIRS OF THE PROPERTY? NO, UH, WOULDN'T. [00:15:01] SHE COULD BE. UH, BUT SHE'S NEVER PROVIDED ANY DOCUMENTATION, UM, SHOWING THAT IT WAS A WILL TO HER.

MY NAME IS CRYSTAL TOWN, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE STRUCTURES BEING PRESENTED TODAY ARE LOCATED AT ONE 12 RAYMOND STREET WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ONE 12 RAYMOND STREET IS BEING PRESENTED BEFORE THE BOARD. PLEASE NOTE ON MARCH 3RD, 2026, A DANGEROUS ASSESSMENT RESPONSE TEAM INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. THE INSPECTION IS A COLLABORATED INSPECTION WITH A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT INCLUDED THE SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS NCB 3 5 5 8 BLOCK ONE, LOT SIX LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT FIVE. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS SANCHEZ SAN JUANA AND ZARE FRANCISCO JAVIER FTA AND ZARE BERTHA ALICIA FTA AND FTAS CTA WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 5 5 1 EAST NEW YORK STREET, AURORA, ILLINOIS 6 0 5 0 5. THE PROPERTY OWNER, SAN ANA SANCHEZ AND BERTHA ZARE ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE PROPERTY ALONG WITH SAN ANTONIO POLICE OFFICER JACOB HERNANDEZ. THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON MAY 19TH, 2026. THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION. THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING ONE 12 RAYMOND STREET WAS CONDUCTED ON MARCH 2ND, 2026. THE ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON MARCH 9TH, 2026, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS NOT RETURNED ON MARCH 11TH. A PRE-BOARD CONFERENCE WAS HELD WITH ELIZABETH HERNANDEZ, WHICH IS ONE [00:30:01] OF THE SISTERS OF ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS ON AUGUST 26TH, 2026. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT ONE 12 RAYMOND STREET ON AUGUST 25TH, 2026. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO SANCHEZ, SAN ANA AND KAZA FRANCISCO, JAVIER FENT AND KASSAR'S BERTHA, ALICIA FENT AND FTA CHRISTA. AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. ON AUGUST 10TH, 2026 AND AUGUST 26TH, 2026, AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS EXECUTED TO OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHS. NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED. A NOTICE TO VACATE WAS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY ON MARCH 9TH, 2026 AND THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED WITHIN 1000 FEET OF KIPP ESPERANZA. SO THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT HAVE A MAIN STRUCTURE. THERE ARE TWO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY THAT WERE BEING, UM, OCCUPIED. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE THAT WAS OCCUPIED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER CTA AT THE TIME OF THE DART ON MARCH. IN MARCH. SO THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. THE REAR PORTION OF THE STRUCTURE IS STARTING TO SINK INTO THE GROUND AND THEY DID PUT, UH, BURGLAR BARS ON THE ENTRYWAY. SO THAT WAS POSING AN EGRESS. AND THIS IS BE CONSIDERED THE REAR ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. UM, THERE IS NOW PLYWOOD PLACED AS SIDING AND IT DOES NOT HAVE WEATHER PROTECTION. SO IT IS STARTING TO, UM, GET WATER DAMAGE FROM THE ELEMENTS. AND THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE REAR, OR I'M SORRY, THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. AND IT IS SITTING ON, UM, CEMENT BLOCKS. SO THIS IS GOING INTO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. IT IS ALL PLYWOOD FLOORING, UM, AND PLYWOOD WALLS ALONG WITH THE DECKING. EVERYTHING IS EXPOSED. SO THIS AREA TO THE GOING TO THE LEFT, UM, THEY ACTUALLY INSTALLED LIGHT FIXTURES AND ELECTRICAL TO THE STRUCTURE WITHOUT PERMITS. THIS IS THAT LEFT AREA AGAIN. THEY INSTALLED A TOILET IN THE STRUCTURE. UM, SO THEY INSTALLED PLUMBING FIXTURES WITHOUT PERMITS AS WELL. THIS AREA WAS UTILIZED AS A KITCHEN AREA. THEY HAVE NOW REMOVED A LOT OF THE BURNERS AND OTHER ITEMS THAT THEY'RE USING TO COOK FOOD. SO NOW IT IS JUST A LARGE AMOUNT OF TRASH. UM, AGAIN, UM, TO THE RIGHT THERE IS EXPOSED WIRING. SO THEY DID INSTALL OUTLETS AND OTHER WIRING, UM, WITHOUT PERMITS. AND HERE THERE WAS SOME DRUG PARAPHERNALIA FOUND. SO THIS IS THE BACK BEDROOM AREA. SO THIS ALL HAS BEEN CLEARED OUT. UM, I DID SPEAK TO, UH, KANTHA. SHE DOES NOT OCCUPY THE PROPERTY ANYMORE. SHE NOW RESIDES WITH A FRIEND. UM, SHE DID INJURE HERSELF ON THE PROPERTY, SO SHE NOW RESIDES WITH A FRIEND. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOW JUST OPEN TO ANYONE. SO THERE STILL IS ACTIVITY ON THE PROPERTY FROM OTHER INDIVIDUALS. SO AT THIS POINT, THIS IS JUST REMAINING ITEMS FROM OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOW OCCUPYING IT. AND THERE IS SOME MORE EXPOSED ELECTRICAL WIRES THAT WERE ILLEGALLY INSTALLED WITHOUT PERMITS. AND, UH, SOME MORE DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WAS FOUND DURING THE INSPECTION. THIS IS GONNA BE CONSIDERED ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO. THIS IS GOING TO BE A METAL STORAGE SHED THAT IS SITTING ON CINDER BLOCKS. THE EXTERIOR WALLS ARE RUSTED AND DENTED IN. THIS IS GONNA BE THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE ACCESSORY. NUMBER TWO, THE CORRUGATED METAL ROOF IS RUSTED AND THE METAL WALLS ARE DETACHING AND THIS IS GONNA BE THAT RIGHT ELEVATION ALONG WITH THE REAR ELEVATION. AGAIN, LARGE AMOUNT OF DENTS IN THE EXTERIOR WALL AND IT, THE RIGHT ELEVATION IS DETACHING. AND THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION. AGAIN, UH, THE WALLS ARE RUSTED AND THE CORRUGATED METAL ROOF SYSTEM IS RUSTED AS WELL. AND THE INTERIOR DOES HAVE WATER DAMAGE AND RUST. SO ON AUGUST 26TH, 2026, THE CITY DID DO AN ABATEMENT ON THE PROPERTY. SO HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE. ALSO, I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT THAT IS A UTILITY POLE IN THE FRONT PROPERTY, UM, WITH AN ELECTRIC METER. SO THEY WERE RUNNING CORDS FROM AN OUTLET THAT [00:35:01] WAS INSTALLED ON THE UTILITY POLE TO ACCESSORY NUMBER ONE. SO THAT'S HOW THEY WERE GETTING ELECTRICITY. AND THE ACCOUNT WAS ACTIVE WITH CPS ENERGY. HERE'S ANOTHER PHOTO JUST SHOWING THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OUTSIDE PLACEMENT, TRASH AND DEBRIS THAT WAS ON THE PROPERTY PRIOR TO THE ABATEMENT. AND JUST ANOTHER PHOTO OF SOME MORE TRASH. AND THIS IS THE PROPERTY AFTER THE CITY ABATED. SO NOW THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY CLEAN. THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT ONE 12 RAYMOND STREET ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 11, 12, AND 15 FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE NUMBER ONE AND SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE NUMBER TWO, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREINAFTER 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 FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURE NUMBER ONE AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE NUMBER TWO, AND FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE VACATED AND UTILITIES TO BE DISCONNECTED. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF ONE 12 RAYMOND STREET. SO JUST TO, TO CLARIFY AGAIN THAT THE OWNER IS NO LONGER OCCUPYING THE PROPERTY. IT IS NOW JUST, UH, PEOPLE RANDOMLY GOING INTO THE PROPERTY, CORRECT? YES. SHE CONFIRMED THIS MORNING. SHE'S NOT STAYING AT THE PROPERTY ANYMORE. OKAY. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? SO THERE ARE OTHERS STAYING ON THE PROPERTY NOW. THEY'RE COMING AND GOING. SO ON THE DAY OF THE ABATEMENT, THERE WERE THREE DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS THAT CAME TO THE PROPERTY WHILE THE CITY WAS CLEANING THE PROPERTY, UM, TO GET CERTAIN ITEMS. UM, SO THERE ARE STILL INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH STAYING THERE. IT'S, IT'S OPEN TO ANYONE AT THIS POINT. THAT REALLY GETS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION. WHY NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO SECURE THE PROPERTY? THAT CAN BE ADDED. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YOU SAID THERE WAS ACTIVE ELECTRICITY. HOW ABOUT WATER? YES. SO BOTH METERS ARE STILL ACTIVE? YES. EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO MAIN STRUCTURE. CORRECT. THANK YOU. OH, SCHOOL SAYS ON THE THING THAT THERE IS A SCHOOL, SO IS THIS THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR SCHOOL KIDS? SO THERE ARE CHILDREN THAT DO LIVE AROUND THE AREA. YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE CHILDREN PLAYING RECESS WHILE YOU'RE THERE. SO WHILE WE WERE DOING THE ABATEMENT, YOU COULD HEAR THE KIDS PLAYING AND SCREAMING. YEAH, IT'S A BLOCK AWAY FROM, UH, THE KIPP AND IT'S KIPP ESPANZA. UH, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS CLOSEST, BUT I'M LOOKING AT THE MAP. IT'S ALSO KIPP ASPIRE MIDDLE SCHOOL AND KIPP U PREP HIGH SCHOOL. AND YOU SAID OTHER OCCUPANTS ARE ON THE PROPERTY. INDIVIDUALS ARE COMING AND GOING FROM THE PROPERTY AND STILL UTILIZING IT BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN PLACE TO STAY AND LAY YOUR HEAD. SO THEY'RE STILL COMING AND GOING. ALRIGHT, I'LL HAVE THE NEXT QUESTION FOR THE OFFICER WHEN HE COMES UP. THANKS. OKAY, YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY. ALL ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UH, LET'S HAVE, UH, OFFICER HERNANDEZ, SAPD. UH, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR PRECINCT. OKAY. GOOD MORNING. UH, I'M OFFICER JACOB HERNANDEZ.

GEORGE GRAHAM SECOND. OKAY. ANY DISCUSSION? YEAH, I'D LIKE TO ASK COUNSEL SOMETHING IF HE ORDERED THAT NO TRESPASSING BE, THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE 30 DAYS AS WELL, CORRECT? WHAT WAS THE QUESTION? YES. THE TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT, UH, AFTER, UH, THE BOARD FOR TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT, UH, CAN REQUIRE IT BE EXECUTED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO, UH, THEIR RETURN TO ILLINOIS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THE WAY IT READS IT WILL BE WITHIN THE 30 DAYS. CORRECT? THEY COULD SIGN IT WHENEVER BECAUSE IT'S NOT SPECIFIC. UH, NO, THE DEMO IS, UH, VACATE SECURED UTILITIES WITHIN 30 DAYS. BUT THE TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT IS AN ACTION THAT CAN OCCUR PRIOR TO THE 30 DAYS. WELL THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THAT 'CAUSE IT WASN'T SPECIFIED AS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FIRST. SO IS THAT ON COUNSEL TO JUST GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF THAT OR? YES. UH, SINCE THE BOARD HAS ISSUED, UH, WELL AT LEAST THE MOTION HAS DIRECTED THAT THE TRESPASS AFFIDAVIT BE EXECUTED, UH, THAT WOULD GENERALLY MEAN, UH, DANGEROUS PREMISE INVESTIGATOR TOWN. OKAY.

OKAY. UM, AND THE PHOTOS THERE WAS SHOWN THAT THERE WAS A LARGE TREE THAT HAD FALLEN IN THE REAR. UM, SHE HAS SINCE, UH, SINCE TUESDAY ACTUALLY CLEANED THE PROPERTY. AND IT IS CLEAN AND SECURE AS OF THIS, AS OF TODAY. OKAY. SO I GUESS I'LL ASK HER MORE ABOUT THE OTHER PART. 180 DAYS. AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THERE'S STILL A LOT OF STUFF THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. UH, YES SIR. IT STILL NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AND BROUGHT UP TO CODE. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. ANY OTHER, UH, MADAM CHAIR AS I UNDERSTAND THE, UH, DESCRIPTION HERE OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT THE OWNER APPLIED FOR A, UH, REPAIR PERMIT ON JANUARY THE 20TH, THE 26TH? YES, SIR. AND HAS SUBMITTED AN ENGINEER'S REPORT. SHE HAD SUBMITTED AN ENGINEER'S REPORT, UH, DUE TO THE FIRE AND THAT IS INCLUDED. UM, I BELIEVE IT'S INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION FOR THE REPAIRS. UM, I HAVEN'T DUNNO THE SPECIFICS OF IT, BUT I DO KNOW THAT SHE HAS SUBMITTED, UH, PLANS THROUGH THAT REPAIR PERMIT. SO, SO SHE'S APPLIED FOR A PERMIT AND SHE SUBMITTED PLANS. BUT THE, THE PERMIT HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED? NO, THERE'S NO PER, THERE'S NO ACTIVE PERMIT. THE APPLICATION REMAINS UNDER REVIEW. AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S STILL UNDER REVIEW? I MEAN, THAT SEEMS LIKE AN AWFUL LONG TIME TO, UH, UH, REVIEW A PERMIT. UH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, IF THEY'VE REQUIRED MORE DOCUMENTS FROM THE OWNER, UM, AND THE OWNER CAN SPEAK MORE ON, UM, WHY THE APPLICATION IS STILL PENDING. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. UM, AND WE HAVE SHARON PETERS, THE OWNER. PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM. STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT. MY NAME IS SHARON PETERS. I RESIDE AT 300 BCUS ROAD, SAN MARCO, TEXAS 7 8 6 6 6. UM, A LITTLE HISTORY ON THIS PROPERTY. THIS WAS NOT A, A, A PROJECT OF THIS LEVEL THAT I WAS ANTICIPATING. I KNOW I'VE SPOKEN TO THIS BOARD BEFORE. I DON'T THINK IT WAS ALL OF YOU. UM, UM, I DID PURCHASE THIS PROPERTY AT THE FORECLOSURE AUCTION, UM, TWO DAYS, LIKE IT WAS TWO OR THREE DAYS AFTER FILING EVICTION ON THE OCCUPANT, WHO WAS THE PRIOR OWNER'S SON, I BELIEVE, OR RELATIVE. ANYWAY, UM, HE DID SET A FIRE AND, UH, THE, THE PROPERTY DID, UM, LARGE GET LARGE, VERY CATASTROPHICALLY DAMAGED. HOWEVER, IT WAS DECIDED THAT IT WAS WORTH SAVING. SO THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS I DID PRESENT ORIGINALLY A PLAN THAT I THINK WAS 1350 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SQUARE FEET. UM, AND THEN WITH DEALING WITH CONTRACTORS, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THAT PLAN WASN'T GONNA UTILIZE LIKE THE EXISTING BUILDING MATERIALS. UM, OR IT WOULD JUST BE LIKE SOME OF THE STUFF WOULD BE REMOVED THAT ACTUALLY WAS HAD WORTH HAD USE. AND SO IT WAS DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO BRING AN ARCHITECT OUT. SO THE ARCHITECT WOULD COULDN'T WORK ON THE PLANS UNTIL I GOT A SURVEY. SO SINCE THE TIME OF US BEING HERE, I HAVE GOTTEN A SURVEY. I PAID FOR A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH WAS SUBMITTED TO THE ARCHITECT. AND THEN ARCHITECTURAL PLAN WAS, UH, DONE, UH, THAT, THAT INCLUDED A SITE VISIT TO THE PROPERTY SO THEY COULD INCORPORATE THE EXISTING AND USABLE BUILDING MATERIALS THAT ARE ON, ARE ON SITE. SO THE ARCHITECT PLAN, UM, WAS AN ONSITE VISIT TO TRY TO NOT WASTE THE MATERIALS THAT ARE ANY THERE THAT ARE USABLE MATERIALS. UM, SO THAT WAS DONE. UH, SO THE SURVEY WAS DONE THAT WAS REQUIRED BY THE ARCHITECT. THEN THE ARCHITECT WENT TO THE SITE, HAS, UM, HAS MADE A PLAN OF A THREE BEDROOM, TWO BATH, 1000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE, WHICH IS SMALLER THAN THE ORIGINAL PLAN. UM, BUT FITS ON THE LOT. PROVIDES, UH, LOW INCOME HOUSING AT A, YOU KNOW, RELATIVELY REASONABLE COST SAVING A LOT OF BUILDING MATERIALS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE DEMOED, UTILIZING, AGAIN THE STUFF THAT THAT MAKES SENSE VERSUS THE LARGER PLAN, WHICH WOULD'VE HAD LIKE, SOME DEMO OF STUFF THAT DIDN'T NEED TO BE DEMOED WITH A NEW PLAN. UM, I HAVE ALSO PURCH, UH, PROVIDED A PROOF OF FUNDS, UM, THAT I DO HAVE FUNDS TO DO THIS PROJECT. UM, AND THEN I ALSO PROVIDED PICTURES. 'CAUSE I KNOW OFFICER HASSO TOLD ME THAT, UM, WHENEVER I, UM, THE TREE, I HAD ACTUALLY HAD SOMEBODY CUT DOWN THE TREE, BUT THE REMOVAL OF THE TREE HADN'T BEEN COMPLETED. AND SO HE JUST SUGGESTED I BRING THOSE PICTURES TO SHOW THAT THAT HAD BEEN DONE. THERE'S A PICTURE I THINK OF THE STUFF IN THE TRAILER AND, AND THEN I'VE INCLUDED THE PREVIOUS TWO ENGINEER, OR ACTUALLY TWO ENGINEER REPORTS AFFILIATED THAT WERE BOTH DONE IN 2025. [01:10:01] UM, IN ADDITION, I'VE SHOWN THAT I HAVE BEEN, UM, WITH OFFICER BLEDSOE, I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S STILL HERE. UM, I HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN THIS BOARD, WHICH I ACTUALLY PRESENTED THIS WHEN I ORIGINALLY CAME, UM, THAT I DID ANOTHER ONE THAT HAD A FIRE DAMAGE AT THE BACK AND THAT WAS OF COURSE PASSED AND APPROVED. AND SO I PROVIDED, OH, SORRY, THAT'S THE ENGINEER'S REPORT OR ONE OF THE ENGINEER'S REPORTS IF WE, IF WE WAIT FOR HER TO GO DOWN. UM, SORRY, YOU WANNA GO DOWN TO THE, UH, OH, THE PICTURES? UM, I THINK IT'S THE NEXT, NEXT PAPER. YEAH. SO THIS IS A PREVIOUS PROPERTY THAT I HAD DEALT WITH, UM, THAT ALSO HAD SUFFERED A FIRE DURING MY OWNERSHIP. WELL, IT'S NOT COLOR, IT'S NOT AS GOOD, BUT ANYWAY, COMPLETELY REPLACE THE SIDING, COMPLETELY REPLACE THE WINDOWS. UM, I WILL SAY THIS PROJECT IS CERTAINLY BIGGER THAN THAT PROJECT. SO, UM, YES, IDEALLY IT WOULD BE COMPLETED BY NOW, BUT I WILL SAY THIS IS ESSENTIALLY BUILDING LIKE HALF OF A HOUSE. AND SO THERE WAS SOME REVISITING, UM, OF A, THERE WAS ORIGINAL PLAN AND THEN WE CHANGED IT TO, WE WE'RE GONNA TALK TO AN ARCHITECT AND REVISE THE PLAN TO GET SOMETHING THAT MAKES MORE SENSE FOR WHAT'S ON THE PROPERTY. AND THEN SINCE THAT TIME, UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE PARTED WAYS WITH THE CONTRACTOR THAT I HAVE BEEN USING. AND SO NOW I'M ACTUALLY TALKING WITH DIFFERENT CONTRACTOR TO TRY TO FIND A NEW GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO TAKE ON THIS PROJECT. SO, ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE THIS PROJECT TO BE COMPLETED, THIS IS CERTAINLY A BIGGER PROJECT. IT'S KIND OF LIKE BUILDING HALF A HOUSE. I MEAN, AS, AS HE MENTIONED, THE THE FOUNDATION NEEDS THE FOUNDATION WORK. UM, THERE ARE USABLE MATERIALS HERE. I, I VERY MUCH THINK IT'S WORTH TRYING TO SAVE THIS STRUCTURE AND, UM, AND, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ANOTHER AFFORDABLE HOUSE VERSUS JUST HAVING IT BE A LOT. AND I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WOULD GET ANOTHER HOUSE ON IT. UM, SO, UH, AND I ALSO WANNA MENTION THAT FROM THE STREET SIDE, THE HOUSE IS REALLY NOT THAT BAD. NOW, IT DOES HAVE PLY ONE IN THE WINDOWS, BUT THAT'S LARGELY TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY CAN ENTER IT AND IT DOESN'T BECOME A, YOU KNOW, A NUISANCE AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, THE ISSUES, OTHER ISSUES WITH OTHER PROPERTIES I'VE HAD WITH THE HOMELESS OR, OR YOU KNOW, WHAT HAVE YOU. UM, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, FROM THE STREET VIEW, IT'S REALLY NOT, UM, REALLY A, A HIDEOUS STRUCTURE. UM, SO I WOULD SAY AGAIN, AT THIS POINT I STILL, STILL DO NEED TO ESSENTIALLY HIRE A NEW CONTRACTOR BECAUSE I HAVE NOW HAVE TO HIRE A DIFFERENT HARD CONTRACTOR. I DO HAVE EXISTING ARCHITECTURAL PLANS THAT I PAID $3,500 FOR THAT THEY'RE SPECIFIC TO THIS, THE STRUCTURE THAT'S ER THERE AND I WOULD ACTUALLY REQUEST 12 MONTHS. UM, I HAVE SHOWN THAT I HAVE, I'M VERY GOOD AT KEEPING THE PROPERTY SECURE. I DO HAVE THE PROPERTY ON A REGULAR MOWING SCHEDULE. UM, UH, I HAD SOME OTHER NOTES. WHAT WAS I GONNA SAY? I HAVE AN IRREGULAR MOWING STRUCTURE. I DO KEEP IT, UM, SECURED. AND ALSO, AS I SAID, OTHER THAN THE PLYWOOD, WHICH IS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA BROKE ON WINDOWS WHEN THEY SEE IF THEY CAN STRUCTURE IT, IS REALLY NOT THAT BAD FROM THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY. UM, DOES, DOES ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? I, I, I HAVE A QUESTION OF LEGAL, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL DO THAT AFTER. AND WHEN WE GAVE YOU THIS ON THE FIRST BOARD, YOU'VE HAD I THINK THREE HOUSES PRIOR BEFORE THAT. THAT'S COME BEFORE US ONLY ONE. ONE, YES, SIR. OKAY. THIS ONE HERE. I THINK SO. I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE GOTTA BE 180 DAYS. AND THERE SEEMS TO BE, RIGHT NOW THERE'S A GLITCH. WHAT OTHER DOCUMENTS DID THEY NEED? SO YOU, I MEAN, JANUARY TO NOW PRETTY LONG TIME TO GET A PERMIT. WELL, I'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO GET THE PERMITS. WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE, UH, THE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S LIKE A 50% REBUILD. SO I'VE GOTTA HAVE MY, ALL OF MY, YOU KNOW, MY ELECTRICAL, MY PLUMBING, ALL OF THOSE COMPLETE PROPOSALS AND I CAN'T. AND I WAS WORKING TOWARDS THAT UNTIL, AND I WAS GETTING BIDS WITH MY GENERAL CONTRACTOR. UNTIL NOW, I DON'T HAVE THAT GENERAL CONTRACTOR. SO NOW I'M WORKING ON GETTING A NEW GENERAL CONTRACTOR. SHE AND I PARTED WAYS, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THREE MONTHS AGO, SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. THREE, FOUR MONTHS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND SO, UM, AND I WILL SAY THIS IS A BIG PROJECT. THIS IS NOT A SMALL PROJECT, BUT IT'S SOMETHING I'M CAPABLE OF DOING. UM, BUT AGAIN, MY, I I, I WOULD SAY THAT AGAIN, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS AT THIS TIME IS CROSSING A PROBLEM FOR THE COMMUNITY. I BELIEVE I CAN GET THIS DONE. I THINK IT'S GONNA GIVE YOU A AFFORDABLE HOUSE IN SAN ANTONIO. IT'S NOT GONNA WASTE BUILDING MATERIALS, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S CURRENTLY CREATING A PROBLEM FOR THE COMMUNITY. ANY OTHER MADAM CHAIR? YES. UH, SO WHY HAS THE BUILDING PERMIT NOT BEEN ISSUED? BECAUSE WE, WELL, WE REQUESTED, I REQUESTED THE BUILDING PERMIT WITH THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTOR, AND THEN WE HAD TO HAVE ALL OF THE, UM, UH, THE, THE BIDS AND THE PROPOSALS, WHICH WE WERE WORKING ON. AND THEN [01:15:01] OF COURSE, WE ENDED UP, WE HAD TO, WE ORIGINALLY WORKED ON BIDS WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN, BUT THEN ONCE WE WERE TALKING TO FRAMERS AND THINGS, WE FOUND OUT SO MUCH STUFF WAS GONNA HAVE TO BE THROWN AWAY THAT WE KNEW WITH A DIFFERENT PLAN WOULD NOT NEED TO BE THROWN AWAY. SO THEN WE WENT BACK AND, AND GOT AN ARCHITECT, WHICH REQUIRED TO GET THE SURVEY. AND THEN AFTER THE SURVEY, THEN WE WENT BACK TO THE ARCHITECT, AND AFTER THE ARCHITECT, WE WERE GETTING, WORKING ON GETTING NEW PROPOSALS. AND THEN SHE AND I HAVE PARTED WAYS AND NOW I HAVE TO GET A NEW CONTRACTOR. AND SO YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT WITH A CONTRACTOR BEFORE A BUILDING PERMIT CAN BE ISSUED? CORRECT. BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS I NEED TO GET A GENERAL, I HAVE TO HAVE A GENERAL CONTRACTOR BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A FULL SCOPE. SORRY. IT'S NOT JUST A REPAIR, IT'S BASICALLY LIKE, I DUNNO IF IT'S, I DUNNO WHAT YOU TECHNICALLY CALL IT, BUT'S LIKE A SEMI BUILD, BUT IT'S NOT A FULL BUILD. BUT YES, MY UNDERSTANDING FROM THE CONTRACTOR ANYWAY, THE, THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTOR WAS YES, IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE ISSUED, I HAVE TO HAVE ALL THOSE, ALL THOSE QUOTES. AND AGAIN, WE WERE WORKING ON THOSE QUOTES AND HAD SOME QUOTES, AND THEN WE REVISE THE PLAN. WHY DON'T YOU GENERAL CONTRACT, YOU CAN DO THAT FOR YOUR OWN PROPERTY. I HAVE OVER 150 PROPERTIES. UM, AND SO I, UM, I HAVE A TIME PROBLEM. AND SO I, UM, AND I ALSO LIVE IN SAN MARCO A LOT. I HAVE SAN MARCO AND PROPERTIES IN SAGU. I HAVE PROPERTIES IN CANYON LAKE. I HAVE PROPERTIES, UH, YOU KNOW, ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND SO THIS FOR ME IS A BIT DISTANT FOR ME TO TRY TO MANAGE ON MY OWN. I MEAN, AT A WORST CASE SCENARIO, I COULD DO THAT, BUT IT WOULD BE A VERY BIG TIME COMMITMENT. AND AGAIN, MY GOAL IS TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO CAN MANAGE THE PROPERTY ON MY BEHALF. UH, MADAM CHAIR, JUST, JUST TO CONTINUE MY QUESTIONING, IF, IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED FINAL ARCHITECTURAL PLANS, IS THERE NOT A REASON THAT A BUILDING PERMIT CAN BE, UH, ISSUED TO AN OWNER? YES. A A PERMIT CAN BE ISSUED TO THE OWNER. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. SEE THIS, MY CONDO SAID I COULDN'T BE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I'M A CORPORATION. IS THAT NOT RIGHT? BECAUSE IT'S OWNED BY A CORPORATION? UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THAT ANSWER. I DIDN'T CALL MYSELF DIRECTLY. I'LL BE, I'LL TELL YOU THE WAY SHE YEAH, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY, IF YOU GIMME A FEW MINUTES, I'LL, I'LL FIND OUT FOR YOU. YEAH, COULD YOU, BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A BIG PROBLEM THERE, BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING IS IF YOU OWN THE PROPERTY, YOU CAN BE YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR. YES. IF YOU OWN IT AND YOU LIVE AND YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE IN THE PROPERTY, IF THAT'S THE THING, YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE PROPERTY FOR 12 MONTHS AFTER IT'S COMPLETION FOR ALL OF THAT TO WORK. THAT'S HOMESTEAD. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? JUST, I'M SORRY, MADAM CHAIR, JUST TO BE UNDERSTOOD, UH, MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS. AN OWNER OF A PROPERTY WHO HAS SUBMITTED, UH, THE REQUIRED ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING PLANS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE CONTRACTED WITH A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CAN BE ISSUED A BUILDING PERMIT. SHE'S, SHE'S LOOKING SORRY, I WAS, I WAS GETTING THE INFORMATION FOR THE OTHER STUFF. I DO APOLOGIZE. , WHAT WAS THE QUESTION AGAIN? I'M SORRY. THE, THE, THE QUESTION IS, IF THE OWNER OF A PROPERTY WHO HAS SUBMITTED ALL OF THE REQUIRED ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING PLANS, AND THEY SATISFY THE BUILDING CODE, THAT A BUILDING PERMIT CAN BE ISSUED TO THAT OWNER REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THAT OWNER HAS A CONTRACT WITH A GENERAL CONTRACTOR OR MULTIPLE CONTRACTORS TO DO THE WORK. I'M RESEARCHING THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, BUT I WAS, I JUST BEEN TOLD ALSO THAT IF THE OWNER IS NOT RESIDING AT THE LOCATION, THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED A PERMIT. AND, AND SO WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR A, THE COMPANY, UH, AN OWNER UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES? THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IT'D BE THE CONTRACTOR WOULD BE REQUIRED. THEY, THEY, SO THEY HAVE TO HAVE A, A CONTRACTOR AND THAT CONTRACTOR THEN APPLIES FOR THE PERMIT. YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT. THANK YOU. AND, AND SO NOW YOU ARE NEGOTIATING A CONTRACT WITH A GENERAL CONTRACTOR? CORRECT. OKAY. AND IN FACT, I'M TRYING TO LOCATE A NEW GENERAL. I HAD A, A PREVIOUS LICENSED GENERAL CONTRACTOR, BUT I'M WORKING TO GET A NEW LICENSED GENERAL CONTRACTOR. CORRECT. O OKAY. AND, AND, AND IF YOU SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH A GENERAL CONTRACTOR NEXT WEEK, THEN THERE WOULD BE NO REASON, YOU KNOW, ASSUMING THEY MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, THERE'S NO REASON A, UM, BUILDING PERMIT COULD NOT BE ISSUED, DOES IT? OKAY. DOES IT REQUIRE ALL THE, I MEAN, I WAS TOLD DOES IT REQUIRE ALL THE BIDS FOR LIKE THE ELECTRICAL AND HVAC ALL IS FRONT OR, I DON'T KNOW. THAT WOULD BE MORE OF A QUESTION FOR THE PERMIT COUNTER. I COULDN'T ANSWER YOU THAT, BUT [01:20:05] RIGHT. IT WOULD, IT WOULD REQUIRE, UH, MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE PERMIT COUNTER. IT, IT, IT IS MY, MY GENERAL UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU CAN GET THE GENERAL PERMITS, BUT THEN LIKE THE ELECTRICAL AND THE PLUMBING, ET CETERA, HAVE TO GET THEIR OWN PERMITS. AND YOU'RE, THEY ALSO CHARGE LIKE PER TIME PERIOD AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO YOU WANT TO GET THEM RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE GONNA DO THE WORK, NOT HAVE THEM SITTING FOR A YEAR. MM-HMM . MM-HMM . THAT, THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. UM, BUT YES, YOU, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY STOP AND I, I ADMITTEDLY HAVE RUN SOME PICKUPS ON THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU. UM, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT I CAN STILL DO IT. I DO BELIEVE I HAVE CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD, AND I DO BELIEVE ONCE I DO FIND A GENERAL CONTRACTOR THAT I CAN WORK WITH, THAT I CAN GET THIS PROJECT COMPLETE AND NOT WASTE BUILDING MATERIALS. LET ME ASK YOU A FOLLOW UP IN JANUARY WHEN ALL THESE PAPERS WERE PUT IN, CORRECT? MM-HMM . YOU HAD THE CONTRACTOR THAT YOU LET GO A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. CORRECT. SO FROM, SHE WAS, SO FROM JANUARY TO WHAT TIME WAS THAT? I'D SAY LIKE PROBABLY THREE, FOUR MONTHS AGO, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO THAT WOULD BE, MAYBE IT WAS TWO, THREE. YOU'RE STILL LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT THAT PERMIT PROCESS WOULD'VE ALREADY BEEN IN PLAY. I THINK WE'RE AT THE POINT NOW WHERE THE APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED. SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE PERMITS. LET'S, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? YEAH, LET'S GET TO, YOU SAID THAT, STAYING STUCK ON THAT. UM, I, I HAD A QUESTION FOR LEGAL. UM, SO SHE'S ASKING FOR A YEAR, AND I, IN MY FOUR YEARS HERE, HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A YEAR. UM, I, I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER BEEN PART OF EVEN THE 180 DAYS, BECAUSE THAT'S A LONG TIME. SO WHAT CAN YOU, WHAT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? THE BOARD HAS THE OPTION, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS DONE IN THE DECEMBER ORDER, BUT IN ORDER TO, YOU CAN GO UP TO 90 DAYS ABOVE. 90 DAYS UP TO 180 DAYS IS THE MAXIMUM, BUT THAT WILL REQUIRE AT THE BOARD'S DISCRETION, UH, THE POSTING OF A PERFORMANCE BOND. I HAVEN'T, THAT WASN'T LAST TIME, BUT HAS THAT SOMETHING CHANGED OR, UH, THAT, THAT'S, UH, WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE STATE STATUTE? SO, UM, UH, I WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE DECEMBER HEARING, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THAT WAS NOT REQUIRED. BUT IN ORDER TO GO ABOVE 90 DAYS AND UP TO 180 DAYS, WHICH IS THE MAXIMUM UNDER THE STATUTE, I PERFORMANCE BOND IS TO BE REQUESTED UNLESS THE BOARD CHOOSES TO WAIVE THAT, UH, 30 DAY PROGRESS REPORTS ARE MANDATED. AND, UH, YEP. THOSE ARE BASICALLY AT THE PROGRESS REPORTS EVERY 30 DAYS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SCOPE OF WORK PRESENTED AND, UH, AT THE BOARD'S DISCRETION, THE AMOUNT FOR A PERFORMANCE BOND, IF YOU WANT TO GO UP TO THE SIX MONTHS MAX. AND IS THERE, UM, CERTAIN AMOUNTS FOR THE PERFORMANCE BOND? THE PERFORMANCE BONDS CAN GO UP TO A HUNDRED THOUSAND DEPENDING ON IF THEY'RE, UH, IF THE PROPERTY OWNER OWNS, UH, PROPERTIES WITHIN BEXAR COUNTY THAT, UH, EXCEED A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE AGGREGATE. SO YOU MENTIONED 150 50 OTHER PROPERTIES, ARE THEY IN COUNTY? YEAH. UM, NO, I BELIEVE I ONLY HAVE FIVE OR SIX IN THE COUNTY, BUT THEY WOULD BE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND TOTAL FOR SURE. UM, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE, THE, THE BOARD WAIVE THIS REQUIREMENT, UM, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN COMPLIANT. I HAVE TRIED MY BEST. YES, IT HAS BEEN LONGER. I'VE DONE VERY WELL, MET THE TIMELINE IN THE PAST. THIS ONE HAS HIT HICCUPS. IT HAS SOME ISSUES THAT I DID NOT, IT, YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME CHANGES. I WASN'T EXPECTING CHANGE IN THE FLOOR PLAN, LOSING A CONTRACTOR. AND AGAIN, I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS PROPERTY IS A, A, A PUBLIC NUISANCE. WELL, I MEAN, IT IS TECHNICALLY LIKE, THERE'S LIKE THE, YOU KNOW, PLYWOOD ON THE BACK VERSUS SIDING, BUT, UH, SO TECHNICALLY, BUT IT'S NOT, [01:25:01] YOU KNOW, HAVING A PROBLEM WITH HOMELESS THINGS OF THAT NATURE. I AM TRYING TO BE RESPONSIVE. I DO THINK THAT THE, UH, MONTHLY CHECKS IS, UH, VERY REASONABLE. UM, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE BOARD WAIVE THE PERFORMANCE BOND. UH, OKAY. SO LEGAL, UM, THIS, THIS IS A BOND AND I, I AM NOT SUPER FAMILIAR WITH BONDS. SO IT'S, IT'S JUST, UM, A SECURITY TO GET IT DONE AND THEN IT'S RELEASED OR CORRECT. OKAY. I DON'T THINK THAT THE HOUSE WILL BE COMPLETED IN SIX MONTHS. I, I, I HONESTLY DON'T THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE. I MEAN, IT'S, IT, I MEAN, IT'S NOT DR. HORTON WHERE YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, UH, I DON'T THINK IT'S REALISTIC TO HAVE IT COMPLETED HAVING, HAVING SIGNIFICANT WORK COMPLETED IN SIX MONTHS. I DO THINK IT'S POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, I DON'T WANNA PUT UP A BOND TO SAY I'M GONNA HAVE A COMPLETED HOUSE IN SIX MONTHS BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S DUE. IT'S NOT COMPLETED. YOU ONLY HAVE TO BRING IT TO CODE. MM-HMM . NOT TAJ MAHAL, IT'S ONLY BRING IT TO CODE. I MEAN, BUT DO I HAVE TO HAVE LIKE ALL THE AC IN AND ALL IT, YOU JUST BRING IT TO CODE? AND WHAT IS THAT? JUST THE EXTERIOR OR, MY UNDERSTANDING IS SHE HAS TO DRAW IT INCORRECT AND MAKE IT NOT NECESSARILY TOTALLY LIVABLE RIGHT THERE, BUT THE CODE REQUIRES IT TO HAVE WINDOWS, DOORS, THE WHOLE, LIKE, I PROBABLY WANT POWER ON, FOR EXAMPLE, WITHIN SIX. OH, NOT IF IT'S NOT OCCUPIED. RIGHT? RIGHT. CORRECT. IF IT'S NOT OCCUPIED, YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT. THE PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE, UH, BROUGHT UP TO MINIMUM CODE STANDARDS. IT, UH, THE CODE OFFICER CAN GET INTO MORE DETAIL ABOUT THAT, BUT IT, IT NEEDS TO MEET MINIMUM CODE STANDARDS SUCH THAT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER NO LONGER FEELS IT IS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE. OKAY. WELL, AGAIN, I WOULD STILL REQUEST A WAIVER. SHE SAID IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE BOARD TO CHOOSE TO WAIVE IT. UM, I THINK THAT, UM, GIVEN MY HISTORY, I DO THINK I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE OTHER PROPERTY THAT I THINK, UM, WHEN THE WINGATE PROPERTY, WHICH I DID COMPLETE IN THE, IN THE TIME REQUESTED. THIS ONE I HAVE ASKED LONGER. YES, IT IS TAKING LONGER. IT IS A VERY LARGE PROJECT. AND, AND AGAIN, UM, IT'S LIKE BUILDING HALF A HOUSE. AND SO I DON'T, YOU KNOW, AND I DO, I AM IN THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS, UM, IN A SENSE, OBVIOUSLY, 'CAUSE I DO THIS, UM, BUT SIX MONTHS TO COMPLETE, TO COMPLETE, TO BASICALLY BUILD A HOUSE WITH ALL THE SYSTEMS AND EVERYTHING IS NOT A REALISTIC TIMEFRAME TO BE COMPLETELY DONE. BUT I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT DRAWING IT IN AND NOT HAVING ALL NECESSARILY EVERYTHING INTERIOR COMPLETED. UH, COUNSEL, IT IS FOR YOU. CAN WE DO PERCENTAGE OF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY PERFORMANCE? OKAY. THIS IS, UH, WORD FOR WORD WHAT THE STATUTE REQUIRES. THE MUNICIPALITY MAY REQUIRE, UH, THE OWNER TO POST A CASH OR SURETY BOND IN AN AMOUNT ADEQUATE TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRING OR DEMOLISHING THE BUILDING. UH, THE, IN LIEU OF THE CASH ASSURITY BOND, A LETTER OF CREDIT FROM A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION SUPPORTING OR DOCUMENTING THE FACT THAT, UH, THE AMOUNT OF THE SURETY BOND, UH, IS AVAILABLE, THAT WILL SUFFICE AS WELL. AND DOES THE STATUTE PERMIT US TO WAIVE THE BOND? THE STATUTE USES THE WORD MAY, SO I INTERPRET THAT AS IT'S UP TO THE BOARD'S DISCRETION. THANK YOU. CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU YEAH, I I, DOES IT STATE ANY THERE ANYTHING THERE WHAT THE REQUIREMENT IS FOR THE, THE FEE FOR THE BOND, BECAUSE IT, THE BOND IS AN INSURANCE, ESSENTIALLY AN INSURANCE POLICY. SO SHE'S NOT PAYING A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, SHE'S, IF THAT'S WHAT THE BOND IS FOR, IT'S WHATEVER THAT FEE IS. BUT I THOUGHT IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, IT'S A SET AMOUNT, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, OR A PERCENTAGE, LIKE THERE'S, THERE SHOULD BE POSTING ABOUT WHAT THAT PERCENTAGE IS. YOU KNOW, THREE AND A HALF PERCENT, TWO AND A HALF, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. UH, NO, THE STATUTE LEAVES THAT, UH, FULLY UP TO THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD. SO SHE, SHE, TO GET THE BOND, SHE WOULD PAY THE FEE FOR THE BOND. BUT IT'S LIKE PAYING FOR INSURANCE. YOU DON'T [01:30:01] PAY FOR THE WHOLE HUN, YOU KNOW, A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, YOU, YOU'LL HAVE TO PROVIDE MEANS TO ACQUIRE THE BOND THROUGH LIKE A CREDIT CHECK OR WHATEVER. BUT, UM, YES, THAT'S, UH, THE LETTER OF CREDIT, UH, FROM THE BANK, UH, ENDORSING THAT, UH, WHATEVER AMOUNT THE BOARD CHOOSES TO SERVE AS A PERFORMANCE BOND, IT IS STILL REQUEST IT BEING, UH, I A APOLOGIZE, I'LL WAIT. SO THE BOND ITSELF DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A HUNDRED THOUSAND. THE A HUNDRED THOUSAND IS THE BASIS FOR REQUIRING THE BOND SO THAT IF THE OWNER OWNS PROPERTY OR LAND IN BEXAR COUNTY, THAT IS AT LEAST A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN VALUE IN THE AGGREGATE. SO ALL THE PROPERTIES IN TOTAL, THEN THE BOND CAN BE REQUESTED, UH, EITHER CASH BOND, SURETY BOND, OR A LETTER OF CREDIT FROM THE BANK. UH, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THE LETTER OF CREDIT FROM THE BANK, THAT WOULDN'T COST ANYTHING, RIGHT? DID MM-HMM. WELL, I GUESS IF ALREADY PROVIDED PROOF OF FUNDS, BUT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED TODAY. BUT YEAH, THE LETTER OF CREDIT FROM THE BANK WOULD JUST, UH, ESTABLISH THAT, UH, SHOULD THE, UH, PROPERTY NOT BE BROUGHT UP TO MINIMUM CODE STANDARDS IN THE TIME ALLOTTED? UH, MADAM CHAIR, THIS PROBABLY SHOULD BE IN PART OF THE DISCUSSION AFTER A MOTION IS MADE, BUT, UH, BANKS CHARGE FOR LETTERS OF CREDIT. OH, THEY DO? OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. UM, IS THERE ANYTHING, ANYTHING ADDITIONAL THAT YOU WANT ADD YOU, YOU'VE ALREADY REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES? DON'T, YES. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY AGAIN, THAT I WOULD ASK THAT IT'S AN OPTION THAT THE BOARD MAY DO, AND I WOULD AGAIN ASK THAT THE BOARD NOT REQUIRE A BOND. NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA PERFORM, BE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANOTHER STEP OF ERNIE SEVERAL STEPS I HAVE TO DO. AND ALSO, UM, I DO FEEL LIKE IT IS NOT A CURRENT ISSUE. AND I DO THINK THAT I HAVE BEEN, UM, ALTHOUGH I HAVE MET, NOT MET THE TIMELINE, I HAVE BEEN REASONABLY CLIENT COMPLIANT AND, AND BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE TO OFFICER HASSO AND THE CITY IN TRYING TO MAKE SURE THIS PROPERTY DOES NOT BECOME A PROBLEM. AND I JUST WANNA ASK AN INQUIRE, NOW THAT YOU'VE CHANGED THE PLANS FOR THE HOUSE, HAVE YOU REVISED THE SCOPE OF WORK AND DO YOU HAVE THAT WITH YOU? UM, I DID NOT BRING A REVISION BECAUSE HONESTLY I NEED A, IT'S THE, IT'S THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR THING. AND SO IT'S, IT'S ESSENTIALLY, I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT IT'S GONNA BE, UH, I MEAN, I, I I GUESS THAT THE PICTURES I, I BROUGHT THE ORIGINAL SCOPE OF WORK. I, I THINK IT SPEAKS FOR HERSELF. I HAVE NOT WORKED WITH, I DON'T HAVE NOT HIRED A GENERAL CONTRACTOR, SO I DON'T HAVE A, A, AN AGREEMENT WITH A GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO DO THE WORK. SO I HAVE NOT, BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S, I MEAN, I THINK IT'S A SORT OF A, UM, UNDERSTOOD THAT IT'S GONNA BE THE SAME TYPE OF THINGS, ALTHOUGH I CAN ADD ON THAT WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO DO FOUNDATION WORK AS WELL. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS PURE AND BEAM, IT'S NOT A SLAB SITUATION, SO IN OTHER WORDS, IT CAN BE WORKED WITH MADAM CHAIR. UH, JUST ONE FINAL CLARIFICATION ON THE BOND. UH, THE BOND AMOUNT THAT, UH, EITHER IS POSTED OR A LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUED FROM A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, UH, WOULD BE FOR THE, UH, THE COST OF THE CITY HAVING TO ABATE THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE COST OF, UH, DEMOLISHING THE STRUCTURE, SHOULD, UH, THIS SECOND ORDER NOT BE COMPLIED WITH. AND DO WE HAVE A COST ON THAT? OH, SORRY. UH, THIS IS DANGEROUS PREMISES OFFICER JAIME HASSO, UH, AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT HAVE A COST ON THE PROPOSED IF IT WAS DEMOLISHED. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH. UM, SO FOR ASKING SOMEBODY TO GET A BOND OR, AND A LETTER OF CREDIT WOULD BE SEPARATE FROM THE, UM, FINANCIALS THAT YOU ALREADY GAVE. HOW DO WE ASK 'EM TO DO THAT? OR A BOND IF WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THE COST OF A DEMOLITION? IF THE BOARD ORDERS THE POSTING OF A BOND, UM, EITHER CASH BOND, SURETY BOND, OR THROUGH A LETTER OF CREDIT, THEN THE, UH, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT WOULD PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE. UH, THEY WOULD HAVE TO, UH, GO TO THE PROPERTY, DETERMINE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND OBTAIN AN ESTIMATED [01:35:01] AMOUNT FROM THE CITY CONTRACTOR. AND THIS IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS 'CAUSE WE'VE NEVER GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS BEFORE, SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT IT FROM US. UH, YES, IT'S BEEN DONE, UH, IN THE PAST, UH, JUST NOD IN THE NEAR PAST APPARENTLY. OKAY. IF, IF THEY, IF WE, THE, THE PAYMENT, THE PERFORMANCE BOND WOULD COVER THE COST, THE INSURANCE BASICALLY TO ENSURE LIKE THAT THE PROJECT GETS COMPLETED. I KNOW THE DEMO, THE DEMO, THE, SO IF SHE FAILS, OKAY, SO THE, SO WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR A BOND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION WORK. WE'RE ASKING A BO BOND FOR THE DEMO. CORRECT. THE, THE BASIS FOR WHY THIS PROVISION WAS PUT IN TO THE STATUTE BY THE LEGISLATURE, UH, WAS FOR INSTANCES IN WHICH, UM, A CITY OR BOARD EXCEEDED THE MAXIMUM 90 DAYS AS ALLOWED IN THE STATUTE. THAT, UH, IF YOU GO UP TO 180 DAYS IN INSTANCES WHERE, UH, THERE IS NO FOLLOW THROUGH OR THE WORK STOP AND THE STRUCTURE CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE AND BECAME AN EVEN GREATER HAZARD OR THREAT TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY, UH, IT WOULD COVER THE COST OF THE CITY HAVING TO ABATE HIM. OKAY. SO BUT THIS, SO THE BOND IS THE COST OF A DEMOLITION, BUT WOULD THE IT NEED TO COME BACK BEFORE US TO ORDER A DEMOLITION OR WOULD IT BE LIKE AN AUTO THING? IT SHOULD COME BACK THAT WOULD, UH, UH, WELL, LET'S HYPOTHETICALLY SAY YOU, UH, THE BOARD CHOOSES TO PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM 180 DAYS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE 180 DAYS. UH, THAT IS A DETERMINATION THAT IS MADE BY THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT AS TO WHETHER TO, UH, BRING THE PROPERTY BACK TO THE BOARD FOR EITHER A RECOMMENDATION OF DEMOLITION, IF IT HAS DETERIORATED EVEN FURTHER, OR THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE DIRECTOR CAN MAKE A DETERMINATION THROUGH THE DANGEROUS PREMISES INVESTIGATOR THAT THERE HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE AT THE END OF THAT PERIOD AND ADMINISTRATIVELY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TIME. OKAY, BUT THE QUESTION WOULD BE THE DEMO DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT COMING BACK TO US, CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT. ALL RIGHT. UM, I AM OPEN FOR A MOTIONS, MADAM CHAIR. I HAVE A MOTION. OKAY. I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT ONE 14 PROSPERITY DRIVE, 2 14 2 14 2 14 PROSPERITY DRIVE IS A PUBLIC, NOT NOTIONS PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION ONE DASH 6 5 7, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 15 SIX, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2 5 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18. A MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY B REPAIRED WITHIN 180 DAYS FROM THE ISSUANCE OF THIS ORDER AND THAT THE REQUIREMENT FOR PERFORMANCE BOND BE WAIVED. OKAY, SO THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2 1 4 PROSPERITY DRIVE IS THE PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 5 6, SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18, AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED IN 180 DAYS. AND THAT THE, UH, SHE BOND REQUIREMENT BE WAIVED. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. [01:40:01] DO WE HAVE A SECOND? THIS IS JAMIE LITTLE AND I'LL SECOND THE MOTION. OKAY. DISCUSSION, MADAM CHAIR? YES. UH, JUST, UH, FOR THE BOARD'S AWARENESS, UH, IT, SO EXCEEDING 90 DAYS, UH, PART OF THE ORDER WOULD NEED TO REQUIRE, UH, PROGRESS REPORTS EVERY 30 DAYS. OKAY. AND DOES THAT NEED TO BE IN THE MOTION OR IS THAT IN THE STATUTE OR THE ORDINANCE? UH, IT WOULD NEED TO BE IN THE MOTION. OKAY. I'D LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION, MY OWN MOTION TO SAY THAT PROGRESS REPORTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED EVERY 30 DAYS. OKAY. AND DO YOU AGREE? I AGREE. OKAY. SO WE'RE ADDING IN DIRTY D UH, PROGRESS REPORTS. ANY DISCUSSION? UH, MADAM CHAIR, THE, THE REASON I AM, UH, SUGGEST OR MOVING THAT THE, UH, PERFORMANCE BOND BE WAIVED IS, UH, THE PERFORMANCE BOND OR, OR ANY OTHER WAY OF COMPLYING WITH THE REQUIREMENT IS GONNA COST THE OWNER SOME AMOUNT OF MONEY. BONDS TYPICALLY, UH, REQUIRE A PERCENTAGE OF THE AMOUNT, UH, OF THE BOND. AND I DON'T UN UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THIS OWNER, UH, MAKE TAKING REASONABLE STEPS TO REPAIR THE PROPERTY AND SHOWING SOME FINANCIAL, UH, CAPABILITY. I DO NOT THINK THAT THAT, UH, UH, BOND, UH, IS REQUIRED UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? I WOULD JUST ADD THAT THIS IS THE SECOND 100 AND DAY ORDER, AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WHILE IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE, THINGS HAPPEN, UM, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN 180 DAYS WHEN IT HAS TO COME BACK AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A CONTRACTOR AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T DONE THIS. LIKE, YES, YOU CAN BE VERY RESPONSIVE AND BE VERY RESPONSIBLE WITH THE PROPERTY, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND WE CAN'T COME BACK HERE IN ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, SIX OR SEVEN MONTHS WITH ANOTHER REQUEST FOR A HUNDRED AND, UH, 80 DAYS AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN WORKED ON LIKE THAT. THAT IS MY, THAT IS MY ONE FEAR IS THAT IT'S NOT GONNA BE WORKED ON AND POSSIBLY EVEN COME BACK TO US EVEN WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS. YOU KNOW, SOMEONE BREAKS IN, SAYS IT ON FIRE, AND THEN HERE WE ARE AGAIN. SO THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY REASON FOR WANTING A SURE BOND, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I AM UNDERSTANDING OF TRYING TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TRYING TO PRESERVE, UH, MATERIALS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. SO I I'M ON THE FENCE ON THAT, BUT THAT'S THE REST I AGREE WITH. WELL, WE ALREADY SECONDED, RIGHT? SO WE'RE STILL IN DISCUSSION, RIGHT? YES. WE'RE STILL IN, WE'RE IN DISCUSSION. WHAT ABOUT THE LETTER OF CREDIT? THE LETTER IS YES, IT COSTED BANK TO GET THAT LETTER DONE AND IT ADDS AS THE SAME SECURITY AS A BOND WOULD, AND IT'S, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUT OUT FOR THE BOND Y'ALL YOU'RE DOING IS PAYING FOR THE LETTER OF CREDIT. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT LETTERS OF CREDIT COST MONEY. I MEAN, BANKS DON'T DO THINGS FOR FREE. I, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THE LETTER OF CREDIT'S GONNA BE A LOT CHEAPER THAN GOING AND GETTING A BOND FOR A, WHATEVER THE AMOUNT MAY BE, 2000 PLUS DOLLARS AND THE OTHER OPTION, THE OPTION GONNA BE A LOT CHEAPER THAN GETTING A BOND FOR THE WHATEVER THE COST IS FOR DEMO. AND THE OTHER OPTION STILL IS SHE COULD JUST PAY CASH. SO IT'D JUST BE THE LOST INTEREST ON THAT CASH NOT WORKING. WE'RE DISCUSSING ON THE BOARD THAT I, I THINK THAT'S A LOT OF CASH THOUGH. LIKE THAT NEEDS TO BE GOING TOWARDS THE REPAIRS, NOT A BOND. UM, YEAH, AGAIN, LIKE I'M, I'M ON THE FENCE ON THIS, LIKE SERIOUSLY, IF WE'RE COMING BACK HERE AND AT THE, THE END OF THIS AND IT'S, THERE STILL IS PROBLEMS AND IT'S NOT BEING WORKED ON, THEN I, I THINK THAT WE, IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED MUCH MORE SERIOUSLY. UM, IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? WELL, MY UNDERSTANDING, IF IT COMES UP TO CODE AND CODE SAYS IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF IT, IT'LL COME BACK TO US. IT WILL NOT COME BACK TO COME BACK TO CODE CALL TO MAKE THAT CORRECT. IT LIKE, AS LONG AS IT COMES UP TO CODE. IF IT'S UP TO CODE AND EVERYTHING IS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE, THEN WE WE'RE NOT GONNA BE BACK HERE. OKAY, SO LET'S, UH, LET'S DO A ROLL CALL THOUGH. KAYLA, MIRANDA. AYE. JOEL SOLIS. AYE. GEORGE GRAHAMS JR. AYE. YVONNE ADDISON. AYE. JAMIE LITTLE AYE. FRED [01:45:01] ANDES? AYE. MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF 6 2 0. OKAY, THANK YOU. GET STUFF DONE. DON'T COME BACK NEXT TIME WITH IT. STILL THE SAME WAY. DON'T WORRY, KAYLA, YOU I HAVE A VERY GOOD MEMORY. . WELL, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE RELATIVELY MOVE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT PROPERTY IS, UH, 7 3 9 EXES ESSEX STREET. GOOD MORNING BOARD FOR THE RECORD. MY NAME IS CYNTHIA SANTANA CO, UH, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 7 39 ESSEX STREET WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR DEMOLITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX. THIS CASE IS THE FIRST TIME BEING HEARD BEFORE THE BOARD. THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS NCB 1 6 33 BLOCK 35, LOT 44 W 10 FEET OF 45, LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS MARTINEZ RUDOLPH AND VICTORIA WITH A MAILING ADDRESS OF 7 39 ESSEX STREET, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 1 0 2 2 1 3. ALL NOTICES OF HEARING WERE PROPERLY ISSUED AS REQUIRED. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS NOT PRESENT TODAY. DOES THE BOARD WISH TO CONTINUE? YES. A PHONE NUMBER WAS NOT FOUND FOR, NOR HAVE I SPOKEN WITH THE OWNER. THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON OCTOBER 10TH, 2025 THAT THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION. THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 7 39 ESSEX STREET WAS CONDUCTED ON SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2025. ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2025, AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED ON SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2025 ON AUGUST 26TH, 2026. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 7 39 ESSEX STREET ON AUGUST 25TH, 2026. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO THE OWNER AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED. NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS OF SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2026. THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE FOR 7 39 ESSEX STREET ON AUGUST 10TH, 2026. AN ADMINISTRATIVE WARRANT WAS OBTAINED AND EXECUTED FOR THE PHOTOS BEING PRESENTED TODAY WITH AN ADDITIONAL PHOTO FROM MARCH 19TH, 2025. THIS FIRST PHOTO IS OF THE FRONT ELEVATION SHOWING A SINGLE STORY VACANT STRUCTURE IN A RESIDENTIAL ZONE BUILT IN 1920 AND IS TWENTY THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX SQUARE FEET. THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE HAS A GABLE ROOF WITH SHINGLES, MASONRY VENEER, AND APPEARING BEAM FOUNDATION. THE ADDITION HAS A SLOPED ROOF WITH METAL COVERING PLYWOOD SIDING, AND IS BUILT ON GRADE. THIS STRUCTURE IS NOT LOCATED WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A SCHOOL. THE MASONRY VENEER IS ON THE FRONT, ELEVATION IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. THE FASCIA LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION AND IS ROTTED AT THE ROOF'S EDGE ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT SIDES. THE SECURITY BARS ON THE WINDOWS ARE NOT OF A TYPE THAT CAN BE RELEASED FROM THE INSIDE AND ARE AN EGRESS VIOLATION. THIS IS THE PHOTO FROM MARCH 19TH, 2025. WHEN WE FIRST ENCOUNTERED THIS STRUCTURE, IT WAS COMPLETELY OVERGROWN WITH VINES AND VEGETATION. THE VEHICLES THERE HAD BEEN THEIR LAST REGISTRATION DATE WAS FROM 2016. UH, WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLES, UH, TOWED AND, UH, WE GOT THROUGH ALL THAT VEGETATION AND BY THE TIME WE GOT DONE, UH, WE REALIZED THAT THE STRUCTURES ON THIS PROPERTY MET THE DEFINITIONS OF A DANGEROUS STRUCTURES. THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION. I APOLOGIZE. THE FENCE IS RIGHT THERE. UM, ON THE PROPERTY LINE, IT'S, IT WAS A DIFFICULT TO GET A, SOME BETTER, UM, A BETTER VIEW. SO I TOOK SOME FROM THE BACK. UH, THE NEXT PHOTO, PLEASE. THIS IS THE SAME ELEVATION, UH, BUT MORE TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. UM, HERE WE STILL HAVE THE SECURITY BARS AND, UH, THE VENEER, THAT MASONRY VENEER THERE IS CRACKED. AGAIN, THIS IS THE [01:50:01] ADDITION TO THE STRUCTURE. IT, UH, THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION. IT SHOWS PLYWOOD, UH, LACKS, UM, WEATHER PROTECTION. THE METAL CORRUGATED ROOFING IS DETACHED FROM THE RAFTERS. THIS IS A VIEW INSIDE OF THAT ADDITION. UH, THERE'S A LOT OF ITEMS IN THERE. UH, THERE'S NO WAY TO WALK AROUND OR EVEN GET INSIDE OF, UH, THIS ADDITION. UH, THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE VENEER THAT'S PULLING AWAY FROM THE WOOD STUDS. UM, AND ALSO WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS ADDITION IS ACTUALLY CONNECTED TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE REAR ELEVATION SHOWING THE ADDITION OF, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE E THE METAL ROOFING, THE CORRUGATED METAL ROOFING IS DETACHED FROM THE RAFTERS. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THOSE, UH, THAT ROOFING. UM, THE CORRUGATED METAL IS, UH, RUSTED AND IT IS COLLAPSED AROUND THAT SUPPORT BEAM. UH, THE POST RIGHT THERE IS, UH, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, YOU CAN SEE IT'S KIND OF GOT PINK PAINT ON IT. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE CRACKS IN THE MASONRY THAT ARE PRESENT AROUND THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE OF THE, UM, UH, FROM THE, THE FAILING FOUNDATION. IT'S STARTING TO MOVE. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE OVERHANG, SHOWING THE ROTTED FASCIA AND DECKING FROM WATER DAMAGE. YOU CAN ALSO SEE MORE CRACKS IN THE MASONRY HERE. THIS IS THE BEST PHOTO THAT I COULD GET OF THE LEFT ELEVATION. UH, THERE WAS A LARGE BEE INFESTATION IN THE WALL BEHIND THAT METER. WE HAD TO HAVE THAT INFESTATION ABATED. WE MADE ENTRY THROUGH THE FRONT ENTRANCE DOOR. THE FRONT ROOM HAD AN ACCUMULATION OF DEBRIS SCATTERED ABOUT THE FLOOR. THIS IS MORE OF A CONTEXTUAL PHOTO OF THAT, UH, ROOM SHOWING MORE DEBRIS AT THE END OF THAT ROOM. UM, HEADED TOWARDS THE REAR ELEVATION IS A BEDROOM TO THE, UH, RIGHT, AND IT WAS SO FULL OF DEBRIS THAT I WAS UNABLE TO GET INTO THE ROOM AT ALL. THIS IS THE CEILING MATERIAL, UH, THAT IS WATER DAMAGED. I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS PLASTER UP THERE. UH, IT WAS COLLAPSING FROM THE WOR AND FAILING SHINGLES ON THE ROOF. THIS PHOTO IS LOOKING INTO THE KITCHEN WHERE THERE'S ANOTHER LARGE ACCUMULATION OF DEBRIS. THE CEILING, UH, BEHIND THAT CEILING FAN SHOWS MORE WATER DAMAGE FROM THE LEAKING ROOF. THE FLOOR IN THIS KITCHEN, UH, IS SINKING TOWARDS THE REAR ELEVATION. I PUT A LEVEL ON THE FLOOR HERE AND YOU CAN SEE THE, THE BUBBLE IS OFF. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE BACK DOOR, UH, THAT LEADS OUT TO THE ADDITION THAT WAS BUILT ON THERE. THERE WAS SO MUCH DEBRIS OUT HERE, THE CONTRACTOR HAD TO HOLD THAT DOOR OPEN SO I COULD SQUISH MY, UM, BODY THROUGH THERE, WHICH WAS NOT AN EASY TASK. UM, JUST TO TRY TO GET SOME PHOTOS TO SHOW YOU WHAT THAT ADDITION LOOKED LIKE ON THE INSIDE. UH, THIS IS WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE, THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, AGAIN, FULL OF DEBRIS AND ITEMS. THIS IS AN, AN AISLE WAY OF THAT ADDITION. UH, IT'S COMPLETELY FULL OF ITEMS, THE STORAGE ITEMS. UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE COLLAPSING SUPPORT, UH, BEAMS, THE LARGE ACCUMULATION OF ITEMS STORED HERE. THERE'S HOLES IN THE ROOF THAT HAVE ALLOWED THE ELEMENTS TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE, DAMAGING THE WALLS WITH WATER AND ALLOWING MOLD TO GROW IN THIS WHOLE AREA. THIS IS LOOKING TO THE LEFT OF THAT SAME AREA. UM, THE ITEMS ARE STACKED UP ALMOST TO THE ROOF HERE. THE LEAVES LITTER, THE INTERIOR AND THE RAFTERS ARE LOOSE AND DEFLECTED. THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF ACCESSORY ONE. UH, IT HAS A GABLE ROOF WITH SHINGLES WOOD SIDING. IT'S APPROXIMATELY 390 SQUARE FEET. THE SIDING LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION AND THE DOORFRAME IS WEATHERED FROM THE ELEMENTS. THE STRUCTURE IS ALSO SITTING ON GRADE. THIS IS THE LEFT ELEVATION SHOWING A LACK OF WEATHER PROTECTION. THE SIDING IS ROTTED AND HAS HOLES AT THE BOTTOM, ALLOWING RODENTS AND SMALL ANIMALS TO ENTER [01:55:01] THE STRUCTURE. THE DECKING ON THE ROOF IS WAVY. THIS IS THE REAR ELEVATION OF THAT ACCESSORY, UH, WHERE ANOTHER ADDITION WAS BUILT ONTO IT. UH, THE SIDING IS PLYWOOD WITH CORRUGATED METAL ROOF. THE SIDING LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION AND THE METAL ROOF IS DETACHING WHERE IT MEETS THAT ORIGINAL STRUCTURE, ALLOWING THE ELEMENTS TO ENTER AND CAUSE MORE WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE DETERIORATED STRUCTURAL MEMBERS SHOWING THE SILL BEAM IS ROTTED AND RESTING ON GRADE. THIS IS LOOKING INTO THAT STRUCTURE. UM, THERE'S AGAIN, A LARGE ACCUMULATION OF DEBRIS INSIDE THERE. UH, THE RAFTERS IN THE CEILING JOISTS ARE WATER DAMAGED AND NATURAL LIGHT IS PRESENT ON ALL SIDES OF THE STRUCTURE AROUND THE ROOF LINE. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF ACCESSORY TWO. UH, IT HAS A WOOD FRAME, CORRUGATED METAL AND WOOD SIDING WITH A METAL ROOF COVERING. IT'S ALSO BUILT ON GRADE. UH, THE STRUCTURE IS 300 SQUARE FEET. THE REAR ELEVATION HAS BECOME DETACHED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PHOTO AND IS COLLAPSING. THIS PHOTO IS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THAT STRUCTURE. IT DOES HAVE A DOOR. UH, THE SIDING ON THIS ELEVATION IS BOTH CORRUGATED METAL AND WOOD. THE WOOD LACKS WEATHER PROTECTION AND IS DETERIORATED ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE OF THAT DOOR. YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE WOOD IS JUST FALLING APART. THE DOOR IS DAMAGED WITH LARGE GAPS AROUND THE FRAME, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BETTER SEE THAT ONCE WE LOOK AT THIS INTERIOR PHOTO. COMING UP HERE. YOU CAN SEE BOTH THE REAR AND THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THAT STRUCTURE. THE WOOD SIDING IS PLYWOOD WITH NO WEATHER PROTECTION. IT'S WATER DAMAGED FROM THE EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS. THIS IS LOOKING IN, UH, WHERE THE STRUCTURE SEPARATED, UH, FROM THE REAR ELEVATION. UM, AGAIN, IT'S FULL OF DEBRIS AND YOU CAN SEE THE NATURAL LIGHT PRESENT AROUND THAT DOOR. UM, IT'S COLLAPSED AWAY FROM THE METAL ROOFING. THE ELEMENTS HAVE, YOU CAN SEE THE RAFTER THERE THAT'S HANGING DOWN. IT'S WATER DAMAGED ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND HAS JUST, UH, COME APART FROM THE STRUCTURE. THIS IS THE PORTION OF THAT STRUCTURE THAT HAS SEPARATED. UM, IT'S SPLIT INTO TWO SEGMENTS. THE WOOD FRAMING IS DETERIORATED AND BROKEN, ALLOWING VEGETATION TO GROW ON THE INSIDE. THE METAL ROOF COVERING AND SIDING IS DETACHED. TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 7 39 ESSEX STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56. SUBSECTIONS 1 2 7 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR THE MAIN SUBSECTIONS, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15 FOR ACCESSORY ONE AND SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 FOR ACCESSORY TWO IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS HAD, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE. PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION FOR THE MAIN ACCESSORY ONE AND ACCESSORY TWO. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 7 39 ESSEX STREET. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? YEAH, THIS IS FRED ANDIS. 1920 IS WHEN IT WAS BUILT. DOES THIS FALL INTO DECONSTRUCTION CATEGORY OR NO? UM, I THINK IT'S 1950. IT WOULD FALL INTO THE CATEGORY WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS ORDERED BY, UM, I DON'T SEE IT IN YOUR NOTES. YEAH, IT DOES FALL, UH, UNDER THE DECONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE. IF IT WAS 1920, UH, 5, 19 20 IS WHEN IT WAS DONE. AND I THOUGHT THE ORDER WAS 54. YES. AND BEFORE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IT DOES FALL UNDER THE DECONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE. UH, BUT ALSO KEEP IN MIND, UH, THAT IS AT THE, UH, BOARD'S DISCRETION AND SOMETIMES THEY DO PUT IT IN THE NOTE THAT IT FALLS IN IT. MM-HMM . AND THE NEXT ONE IS, IS HAS THERE ANY ABATEMENTS BEEN DONE ON THIS OTHER THAN THE TOWING [02:00:01] OF THE CAR? YES. UM, WHEN, MOST RECENTLY, ON AUGUST 19TH, UM, LET'S SEE, FOR A TOTAL OF $559, UH, THERE WAS AN, THE BEE REMOVAL ABATEMENT ON AUGUST 8TH FOR $250. AND THERE WAS ANOTHER ABATEMENT, UH, AUGUST, 2020 FIFTH, I'M SORRY. AND, UH, THE ABATEMENT FOR THE VEGETATION AND THE DEBRIS, UM, WAS $847 ON AUGUST 8TH, 2025. AND THEN DOES THE TOWING OF THE CARS CONSIDER AN ABATEMENT OR NO, THAT'S A SEPARATE COST. THOSE ARE ALL CHARGED TO THE PROPERTY. AND SO IT WOULD BE INCLUDED. SO THAT WOULD BE AN AB AS AN ABATEMENT? YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. OH, POWER AND ELECTRIC. THERE IS NONE. BOTH OF 'EM ARE GONE. OKAY. YEAH, THANKS. I WAS GONNA ASK ABOUT THE VEHICLES. THEY, THEY WERE NOT REPORTED AS STOLEN VEHICLES. THEY WERE NOT, THEY WERE REGISTERED TO THAT PROPERTY. OKAY. AND THEY WERE REGISTERED TO THE COUPLE THAT LIVED THERE. PERFECT. THANK YOU. UH, MADAM CHAIR, UH, OFFICER SANTANA, WAS ANY ATTEMPT MADE TO CONTACT THE OWNERS OR HEIRS OF THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY? AND IF SO, WAS THERE ANY CONTACT MADE? I WAS UNABLE TO GET AHOLD OF ANYONE. UH, I SPOKE WITH BOTH THE NEIGHBORS ON BOTH SIDES AND THEY EACH TOLD ME THAT THE CHILDREN OF THE COUPLE THAT, UH, IN THEIR WORDS PASSED AWAY, UM, BACK IN 20 16, 20 17, UM, THAT THE CHILDREN WERE NOT INTERESTED IN THE PROPERTY. IT COULD BE BECAUSE OF THE TAXES. I DON'T KNOW THE CONDITION OF IT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THANK YOU. THERE IS NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK FOR THE PROPERTY, SO, UM, ANY MOTIONS? GO AHEAD. YOU WANT? OKAY. THIS IS JOEL SLES. I AT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT, UH, 7 39 ESSEX STREET IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE FOR CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS NOT LY FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MAIN 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18. FOR ACCESSORY ONE, IT'S 8 5 7 8, 11, 12, AND 15. ACCESSORY NUMBER 2 1 2 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, AND 17. I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTIES AND ACCESSORIES ONE AND TWO BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THIS ORDER, THAT THE DECONSTRUCTION OF THE MAIN BUILDING BE WAIVED AND THE UTILITIES REMAINED OFF. OKAY. UM, YOU MISSED 18 ON ACCESSORY TWO. I'M SORRY. YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT CORRECTION. AND 18 FOR ACCESSORY NUMBER TWO AS FAR AS VIOLATIONS. OKAY. SO THE MOTION IS THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 3 9 ESSEX STREET IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, UH, FOR THE MAIN ACCESSORY, 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18. UM, FOR ACCESSORY NUMBER 1, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, AND 15. AND FOR ACCESSORY NUMBER 2, 1 2, 5 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18. UM, AND THE PROPERTY BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS. AND TWO WA D DECONSTRUCTION, DECONSTRUCTION AND UTILITIES REMAIN OFF AND UTILITIES REMAIN OFF. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. UM, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD A FRIENDLY WELL YEAH. FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO SECURE THE PROPERTY TO SECURE. YES. UH, TO CLEAN AND SECURE AND REMAIN FREE OF DEBRIS. WE SECURE. [02:05:01] THIS IS JOSEPH. I ACCEPT THAT MOTION. OKAY. IN THE AMENDMENT. THIS IS GEORGE CRIMES. I SECOND IT. I ACCEPT THE AMENDMENT. OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? UM, THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK, UH, ON THE WAIVING OF DECONSTRUCTION, DO YOU MEAN YOU MA THE MAIN AND BOTH ACCESSORIES ARE JUST THE ACCESSORIES? I REALLY WAS THINKING OF THE MAIN, I DIDN'T SEE ANY VALUES REGARDING ANYTHING IN THE EXTERIOR OR THE INTERIOR THAT THAT SHOULD BE SAVED. BUT THE ACCESSORIES, I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS AN ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THOSE, THE YEARS THOSE WERE BUILT, WHETHER THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE FOR THEM, YOU KNOW. BUT IF SO, I WOULD SAY YES, WAIVE THE DECONSTRUCTION OF THOSE AS WELL. OKAY. COUNSEL, LEMME POINT. YEAH. CAN, IF THE CITY OF ORDINANCE REQUIRES DECONSTRUCTION, WE CAN'T WAIVE THAT, CORRECT? YES, WE CAN. UH, THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD'S A QUASI-JUDICIAL BODY AND SO, UH, THE BOARD HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO. JUST TOUCHING LEGAL BASIS. YEAH. UH, BUT THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE PROBLEM IS TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE CAN GET MATERIALS THAT ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN THESE TYPES OF HOUSING WHEN THEY'RE TAKEN APART. AND I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE ON THE BOARD IS HISTORICALLY CERTIFIED TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THE MATERIALS ARE USABLE. I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO BE REQUIRED TO BE HISTORICALLY CERTIFIED. ANYBODY THAT DEALS IN THE BUSINESS SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DECONSTRUCTED WHAT YOU HAVE THERE. THAT'S WHY I ASKED THAT, BECAUSE IF IT'S, IF IT'S AN ORDINANCE THAT TELLS ME THAT IF THEY'RE RECOMMENDING A DECONSTRUCTION FOR SPECIFIC PROPERTIES UP TO A SPECIFIC YEAR, THEN WE SHOULD DECONSTRUCT IT AND ALLOW THAT MATERIAL TO GO WHERE IT SHOULD. THAT'S WHY I ASKED THAT, BECAUSE THAT ORDINANCE TO ME, UH, KIND OF SAYS THAT YOU GOT FLOORS AND SOME SIDING IN THERE, LOOKED IN THE BATHROOM THAT WAS, BUT EVEN SOME OF THE TIMBERS COULD PROBABLY BE SALVAGED. YEAH. THAT, THAT'S MY POINT IS IF WE'RE GONNA WAIVE THE DECONSTRUCTION ORDINANCE, I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCESSORIES. LIKE THEY DON'T LOOK, THEY DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THEY WERE BUILT ON THE 1920S. BUT THE MAIN IS MY CONCERN IS WE ARE NOT ALLOWING, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVE HISTORICAL HOMES THAT NEED THESE SPECIFIC MATERIALS CAN LOSE OUT. LET ME ASK THIS TO COUNCIL. WHEN THEY DO DECON OR CITY STAFF, WHOEVER COULD ANSWER THIS, WHEN A DECONSTRUCTION COMES UP, THEY SEND A CERTIFIED TEAM OUT THERE TO DECONSTRUCT, WOULD THEY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION ON THE BACK STRUCTURES IF THEY'RE DECONSTRUCT OR JUST DEMOLISHED? THAT WOULD BE THEIR DETERMINATION, CORRECT? YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT. THEY ARE TRAINED AND IDENTIFYING THOSE, THOSE MATERIALS. SO IF HE ORDERS HYPOTHETICALLY A DECONSTRUCTION FOR THE ALL OF THE BUILDINGS, THEN THAT WOULD BE UP TO THEM TO SALVAGE WHAT THEY SALVAGE AND THEN DEMOLISH WHAT THEY DEMOLISH? YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT. THERE'S AN INVENTORY TAKEN OF ALL, UH, RE REUSABLE RECYCLED ITEMS AND THEY'RE THEREFORE, UH, DELIVERED TO PORTES SE WHERE THEY HOUSE ALL THE MATERIALS. UH, I JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT MY QUESTIONS WERE REGARDING, UM, THE CURRENT MOTION AND THE CURRENT MOTION RIGHT. IS TO WAIVE DECONSTRUCTION. SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. RIGHT. AND, AND THAT, AND I'M WITH YOU ON THAT, BUT HE SAID HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE DE THE TO DO ACCESSORIES. IF YOU DECONSTRUCT, THAT'S ON THEM TO DETERMINE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DECONSTRUCTED AND NOT, NOT US. OKAY. NO, WE HAVE IN THE PAST WAVED JUST THE, THE, THE ACCESSORY BECAUSE IT WAS SO SMALL. RIGHT. BUT AGAIN, LIKE MY QUESTION WAS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE MAIN STRUCTURE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO REMOVE, UH, THE, UM, THE DECONSTRUCTION WAIVER FROM THE MOTION, AT LEAST FOR THE MAIN. SO, UH, YOU, SO NOW WE'VE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND. MM-HMM. MM-HMM . UH, AND, AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION. SO AS I UNDERSTAND, YOU CAN PROPOSE AN AMENDMENT TO [02:10:01] DELETE THE DELETION OF THE DECONSTRUCTION. YES. AND WE CAN VOTE ON THAT MOTION. AND THEN ONCE THAT'S DETERMINED, THEN WE CAN VOTE ON THE MAIN MOTION. IS THAT RIGHT? THERE'S TWO MOTIONS. I'M GOING TO ADD A KINK, UH, FOR, UH, EITHER TO WAIVE THESE DECONSTRUCTION OR REQUIRED DECONSTRUCTION, UH, WOULD INCLUDE ALL STRUCTURES. UH, I'VE BEEN ADVISED THAT WHEN, UH, THE CONTRACT IS ISSUED FOR, UH, LET'S SAY, UH, OWNER DOES NOT, UH, ADDRESS THIS, THEN THE CITY CONTRACTOR WOULD BE PROVIDED THE WORK ORDER FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE ACCESSORIES. OKAY. AND JUST ONE MORE INQUIRY WITH THE MOTION TO, TO CLEAN AND SECURE. WOULD THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE INTERIOR? WE'D HAVE TO ADD THAT. IN ADDITION TO REMOVE ALL THE CONTENTS, WHAT'S INSIDE THE BUILDINGS DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MANAGER ALICE G**O, UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT REMOVE THE DEBRIS FROM INSIDE THE STRUCTURE. ONLY THE EXTERIOR, UH, DEMOLITION WOULD REQUIRE THE DEBRIS FROM THE INTERIOR WOULD BE REMOVED ONCE THE THE, THE STRUCTURE IS DEMOLISHED. SO HOW DOES THAT WORK WITH A A, IF YOU'RE GONNA TAKE IT APART, NOT ACTUALLY DOING A DEMO, YOU WERE DECONSTRUCTING, I WOULD THINK YOU'D NEED TO HAVE ALL THE DEBRIS OUT OF THE WAY IN ORDER TO DECONSTRUCT YES. WHEN THEY DE, WHEN THEY BE WE, WHEN THEY START THE DECON, THEY DO CLEAR THE INTERIOR AT THAT TIME. BUT THAT IS WITH THE INTENT THAT THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE THE DEMOLITION. YEAH. AND YOU'RE, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DEMOLITION WHATEVER'S LEFT OVER FROM WHAT, WHAT THEY PULLED OUT OF IT. YES, SIR. YEAH. I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE DECONSTRUCTION. WHEN THAT IS PART OF THIS, UH, THE CITY ABSORBS THE COST FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO GO AND DO THE DECONSTRUCTION. UH, THE CITY THEN, UH, LIKE NOW OWNS THE MATERIALS THAT WERE REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY AND STORED OR WHO, WHO THEN OWNS THE MATERIALS THAT ARE REMOVED? UH, THE CITY DOES NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE MATERIALS, BUT, UH, WE ESSENTIALLY ACT AS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER PHRASE, A TRUSTEE. SO THE MATERIALS, UH, THAT ARE SALVAGEABLE ARE, UH, TAKEN TO THE FACILITY AND THEN, UH, THE PUBLIC HAS THE RIGHT TO, UH, COME TO THE FACILITY AND OBTAIN, UH, ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT COULD HELP IN REPAIRING. THEY'RE SIMILARLY SITUATED AS FAR AS, UH, YEAR OF BUILD STRUCTURES. SO DOES THE PUBLIC PURCHASE WHAT THEY NEED OR DO THEY SUBMIT SOME KIND OF APPLICATION TO RECEIVE THE MATERIALS AT NO COST? I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDER KIND OF FOLLOW THE, THE MONEY TRAIL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, UH, THE PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE TO PAY, BUT I WILL HAVE TO CONFIRM AND, UH, GET AN ANSWER FOR YOU. THE COST OF THE DEMOLITION GOES IN A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY, CORRECT? MM-HMM . CORRECT. SO, AND, UH, THE, FOR THE BOARD'S AWARENESS, UH, THE DECONSTRUCTION, IF THE CITY HAS TO CONDUCT THE DEMOLITION, THE DECONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE HIGHER AND THAT WILL BE PLACED AGAINST, UH, THAT COST, IF NOT PAID, WILL BE ASSESSED AGAINST THE PROPERTY. GOOD. OKAY. GOOD. SO ACTUALLY, I, I'LL PROVIDE A VERY QUICK ANSWER. UH, AS FAR AS THE MONEY TRAIL, UH, THE CITY CANNOT PROFIT OFF OF, UH, MATERIALS THAT IT SALVAGES IN AN ABATEMENT. THE OWNERS SHOULD THEY, UH, DECONSTRUCT ON THEIR OWN, UH, THAT ALL BELONGS TO THEM. AND, UH, IF THE OWNERS DO NOT COME FORWARD AT THAT POINT, THEN IT'S, UH, [02:15:01] SALVAGED. IF THE CITY DOES IT SALVAGE MATERIAL THAT IS CONSIDERED ABANDONED. OKAY. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE MOTION AND A SECOND AND THEN MAKE AMENDMENT. I, I, UH, SUGGESTED THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO REMOVE THE WAIVER OF THE DECONSTRUCTION. DO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT SEPARATELY OR IS THAT JUST A MATTER OF A USUAL FRIENDLY AMENDMENT AND THE TWO PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY YES? UH, IT, IT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AN AMENDMENT BECAUSE YOU'RE REMOVING A PROVISION OF THE ACTUAL ORDER. AND SO THE ORDER ON THE TABLE NEEDS TO BE VOTED UP OR DOWN. OKAY. IF IT'S VOTED DOWN, THEN UH, ALTERNATE MOTION CAN BE PRESENTED. OKAY. UH, LET'S SEE. ROLL CALL, VOTE THEN. KAY. MIRANDA? NO. JOEL SOLIS? YES. GEORGE GRIMES JR. YES. YVONNE ADDISON? YES. JAMIE LITTLE? YES. FRED ANDES. NO. MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF FOUR TO TWO. NOW THAT, YEAH. NO, NOW THEY'RE GONNA TEAR IT DOWN COMPLETELY. NO DECONSTRUCTION. UH, MADAM CHAIR, COULD WE TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS? UH, YES. HOLD ON. WELL WAIT, WE HAVE ONE MORE PROPERTY, CORRECT? WE HAVE ONE MORE PROPERTY. YES. AND THEN WE STILL HAVE TO DO EXECUTIVE AS SESSION. YES. WE CAN TAKE A FIVE MINUTE, BUT I JUST TO, UH, CLARIFY. SO THE, THE MOTION THAT WAS JUST VOTED ON WAS TO, UH, DEMOLISH ALL STRUCTURES IN 30 DAYS, MAINTAIN THE DISCONNECTION OF UTILITIES, CLEAN AND SECURE, PENDING DEMOLITION AND WAIVE DECONSTRUCTION. CORRECT. SO WAS EVERYBODY ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT THEIR VOTE? NO. I, I, I'M SORRY. I, I THOUGHT WHEN, WHEN YOU WERE EXPLAINING IT A LITTLE EARLIER, I THOUGHT IT MEANT YOU WERE GONNA, THE, THE AMENDMENT LIKE STRIKES THAT NOT AMENDMENT, BUT WE WOULD BE NOT INCLUDING THAT WAIVER AND THEN WE'D HAVE TO VOTE A SECOND ON A SECOND. OH, TO REMOVE THE, I I THOUGHT THAT WAY, BUT I DIDN'T HEAR EITHER OF THEM AGREE TO IT YET. SO I GUESS I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED AS IT WILL BE. YEAH. YEAH. THE AMENDMENT, WHICH WAS PROPOSED, UH, UH, IS NOT A PROPER AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE REMOVING A PORTION OF THE ORDER IN ITS ENTIRETY. THEREFORE, THE ONLY MOTION ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW IS TO DEMO ALL THREE STRUCTURES IN 30 DAYS. UTIL UTILITIES ARE TO REMAIN DISCONNECTED, THE PROPERTY IS TO BE CLEANED AND SECURED, PENDING, DEMOLITION, AND DECONSTRUCTION IS TO BE WAIVED. SO, UH, SINCE THE VOTE WAS BASED ON, UM, CONFUSION, UH, MISUNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE MOTION WAS ON THE TABLE, UH, I WOULD RECOMMEND ANOTHER VOTE ON THE MOTION AS IT STANDS. OKAY. LET'S, LET'S DO A REVOTE ROLL CALL, PLEASE. OKAY. KAYLA MIRANDA? NO. JOE SOLES? YES. GEORGE CRI JR. YES. YVONNE ADDISON? NO. JAMIE LITTLE. NO. FERNANDEZ, NO. MOTION FAILS WITH THE VOTE OF TWO TO FOUR. OKAY. UH, I'LL TAKE ANOTHER MOTION. SURE. I CAN DO NOW. THIS IS JOEL . LEMME DO A, A MOTION. I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7 39 ESSEX STREET IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE TO REPAIRED AT THIS TIME, AND IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE [02:20:01] EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MAIN 1, 2, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.

UTILITIES REMAIN OFF AND THAT THE STRUCTURES BE DECONSTRUCTED. I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO ORDER A DECONSTRUCT. NO, NO. IT IS ALREADY PART OF THE PROGRAM. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ORDER IT. NO. YEAH, SHE SAID YOU DO. YEAH. IT, IT'S BETTER TO HAVE IT IN THE ORDER. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WE KEEP IT AS DECONSTRUCTION. ALL RIGHT. UM, THE ORDER IS, UH, GIMME ONE SECOND.

MY NAME IS RICHARD AAL, DANGERS PREMISE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THE STRUCTURE BEING PRESENTED TODAY IS LOCATED AT 2023 SOUTH TRINITY STREET WITH A RECOMMENDATION OF DEMOLITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX. THIS CASE IS BEING HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME BEFORE THIS BOARD. THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS NCB 23 25 36 BLOCK H LOT D LOCATED IN CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT FIVE. THE OWNER ON RECORD IS JESSE DE LEON DE LEON, WITH THE MAILING ADDRESS OF 2023 SOUTH TRINITY, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 7 ALSO HAS A SECOND ADDRESS OF 1215 TOWNSEND SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 9. ALL NOTICES OF HEARING WERE PROPERLY ISSUED AND REQUIRED. THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS ARE, ARE NOT PRESENT. THE OWNER IS NOT PRESENT FOR THE BOARD TODAY WITH THE BOARD LIKE TO PROCEED. YES, JESSE DE LEON, I FOUND A PHONE NUMBER AND HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH MR. DE, UH, ONE TIME AT A PRE-CONFERENCE HEARING AT THE PROPERTY AND DID GET HIS PHONE NUMBER FROM HIM. UH, HIS INTENTIONS WERE STILL KIND OF UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF THE CONFERENCE. HE WASN'T SURE IF HE WANTED TO DEMOLITION IT, REPAIR IT, OR TRY TO SELL THE PROPERTY AS IS 'CAUSE HE HAD RECEIVED SEVERAL INQUIRIES ABOUT THE PROPERTY. THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION CONFIRMED ON APRIL 1ST, 2026. THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION. THE FOLLOWING IS THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 2023 SOUTH TRINITY WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY 6TH, 2026. ORIGINAL NOTICE WAS MAILED ON FEBRUARY 11TH. 2026 AND THE CERTIFIED RECEIPT WAS RETURNED, CLAIMED ON FEBRUARY 14TH, 2026. [02:25:05] ON AUGUST 27, 27. 2026. A NOTICE FOR BSB HEARING WAS POSTED AT 2023 SOUTH TRINITY, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 7 ON AUGUST 25TH, 2026. THE NOTICE FOR THE BSB HEARING WAS MAILED TO JESSE DEON, AND A CERTIFIED RECEIPT HAS NOT YET BEEN RETURNED. NO SCOPE OF WORK OR FINANCIAL PROOF OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR ENGINEER'S REPORT HAS BEEN PROVIDED. UM, AS OF SEPTEMBER 10TH, 2026, THERE ARE NO PERMITS ON FILE FOR 2023 SOUTH TRINITY. THE PROPERTY IS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF PROMESA ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL. WE CAN GO TO THE PICTURES NOW. THIS IS GONNA BE, THIS IS GONNA BE THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE HOUSE. UH, YOU CAN SEE DETERIORATION UP ON THE FACIAL BOARDS. UH, YOU CAN SEE DETERIORATION NEAR THE DOOR. IT DOES NEED WEATHER PROTECTION. NEXT PICTURE THAT SHOWS THE FACIAL BOARDS THAT THEY ARE SEPARATING FROM THE DECKING OF THE ROOF, UH, ROTTEN WOOD, UH, PEELING PAINT. NEXT PICTURE PLEASE.

UH, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S NO METER LOCATED AT THE PROPERTY ANYMORE. YOU CAN SEE THE DETERIORATION OF THE WOOD MEMBERS. UH, THE SIDING, WHICH IS WOOD SIDING, HAS HOLES, UH, ALLOWING VERMIN AND OTHER ANIMALS INTO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF. NEXT, THAT'S A CLOSEUP VIEW THAT THE, THE METER WAS PULLED BY CPS BECAUSE AT ONE POINT THEY WERE STEALING ELECTRICITY FROM THE, FROM CPS DETERIORATED WOOD. UM, ITS LISTING NEEDS WEATHERPROOFING. NEXT. AT ONE POINT THERE WAS A CARPORT ATTACHED TO THIS STRUCTURE. I BELIEVE IT FELL, AND THAT LEFT A HOLE IN THE, IN THE SIDING, WHICH THE OWNER NEVER REPAIRED. NEXT, THAT'S A HOLE LEADING INTO THE STRUCTURE THAT WASN'T REPAIRED. THAT IS JUST DUE TO DETERIORATION TO THE, TO THE HOUSE. THIS IS TOWARDS THE BACK RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. UH, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE WOOD MEMBER IS CHARRED AND DAMAGED. UH, THE DECKING IS CHARGED. SO THE, THE RAFTERS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THE, THE STRUCTURE, THERE WAS A FIRE AT THE LOCATION ON THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE IN THE BACK RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT WAS DEEMED AN EMERGENCY BY OUR CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR AND WAS DEMOLISHED DURING AN EMERGENCY DEMOLITION. AT THE SAME TIME, THE CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR DID LOOK AT THE STRUCTURE ITSELF AND SAID, NO, IT CAN BE REPAIRED. SO WE ISSUED THE 30 DAY NOTICE FOR THE REPAIR ON THAT BACK PART OF THE STRUCTURE. NEXT, THIS IS THE BACK PART OF THE STRUCTURE. YOU CAN SEE THE CHARRING OF THE WOOD MEMBERS, UH, SEPARATION OF THE, THE DECKING FROM THE ROOF. ALSO, THIS SLIGHT OVERHANG IS SEPARATING FROM THE COVER OF THE, I WANNA SAY IT'S JUST AN OVERHANG THAT COVERS THE BACK DOOR. THAT WAS THE ENTRANCE. UM, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, THE OWNER VIEWED THE PROPERTY WITH ME AND WAS JUST AN UTTER AWE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND HE STILL HADN'T DECIDED WHAT HE WANTED TO DO. NEXT PICTURE, PLEASE. DOWN AT THE BOTTOM, YOU CAN SEE MORE CHARRING, A HOLE IN THE WALL THAT IS ALLOWING VERMIN INTO THE STRUCTURE. NEXT, THIS IS THAT BACK ROOM.
