MORNING BOARD.I WORK WITH THE, UH, SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT'S WEST SAFE UNIT.
BEEN PART OF THE UNIT FOR A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS NOW.
UH, I'VE BEEN ON THE DEPARTMENT FOR 16.
I'M HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT, UH, TWO 15 HOLY CROSS.
THIS LOCATION, UH, HAS HAD OVER 50 CALLS FOR POLICE SERVICES, UM, SINCE DECEMBER OF 23.
UH, THE TYPES OF CALLS, UH, FOR SERVICE ARE ASSAULTS AND PROGRESS FIRES, MENTAL HEALTH RELATED ROBBERIES, UH, ANIMAL BITES, WANTED PERSONS DISTURBANCES, NARCOTICS, UH, JUST TO NAME A FEW OR SEVERAL.
SO IN DECEMBER OF 23, UH, AN ASSAULT AND PROGRESS CALL WAS REPORTED, UH, TO POLICE.
UM, THE, THE LOCATION IS, IS AN UNSECURED HOUSE.
UH, BOTH FRONT AND BACK DOORS ARE UNSECURED, SO IT'S KIND OF A REVOLVING DOOR FOR VAGRANTS.
UM, DURING THAT CALL IN, UH, DECEMBER OF 23, LIKE I SAID, A ASSAULT AND PROGRESS WAS MADE.
UH, THE COMPLAINT, THE COMPLAINANT, UH, THAT NIGHT STATED THAT THEY WERE ASSAULTED AND PERSON STAYING THERE, UH, ASSAULTED THE COMPLAINANT AND DISPLAYED A KNIFE DURING THAT ASSAULT.
UH, IN THE SAME MONTH, DECEMBER OF, UH, 23, UH, FIRE WAS STARTED, UH, INSIDE THE LOCATION, WHICH OBVIOUSLY WE SAW THE PHOTOS, UM, BY SOMEBODY LIVING AT THE LOCATION IN JANUARY OF 24.
UM, MORE PERSONS IN THE HOUSE, UH, WERE REPORTED FOR, UH, POLICE WERE CALLED FOR, FOR THEM FIGHTING IN THE HOME.
IN MARCH OF 24, A ROBBERY WAS REPORTED AT THE LOCATION.
AGAIN, PEOPLE STAYING IN THE HOME BEGAN FIGHTING WITH ONE ANOTHER.
AND DURING THAT TIME, A DOG WAS TAKEN IN MAY OF 24.
SOMEBODY STAYING AT THE HOME WAS FOUND TO BE ACTIVE ON A PAROLE VIOLATION.
IN JUNE OF 24, THAT'S WHEN WE EXECUTED OUR, OUR FIRST DART WARRANT.
UH, THE PHONE, THE, THE HOME WAS FOUND TO BE UNSECURED AS, AS I STATED BEFORE, UM, HOWEVER NOBODY WAS, WAS FOUND IN THE HOME.
UH, IT WAS FOUND TO BE VACANT.
UH, AT THAT TIME IS WHEN WE FOUND THAT THE OWNER, UM, DIDN'T STAY IN THE HOME AND WAS ACTUALLY STAYING IN HIS VEHICLE OUTSIDE IN OCTOBER OF 24, UM, THE, AS A DISTURBANCE CAR WAS REPORTED FOR A PERSON STAYING IN THE, UH, THAT REAR STRUCTURE.
THERE WAS PE OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE STAYING BACK THERE, AND THEY WERE FOUND BACK THERE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF ARGUING, UH, BACK AND FORTH WITH ONE ANOTHER, WHICH AGAIN SHOWED US THAT PEOPLE WERE LIVING IN THAT BACK STORAGE, STORAGE SHED.
UM, OUR COVERT UNITS, UH, BEGAN SURVEILLING THE LOCATION.
UM, OUR COVERT DOES, YOU KNOW, VERY MANY, VERY MANY THINGS.
THEY, YOU KNOW, NARCOTICS, UH, THEY LOOK FOR, YOU KNOW, WANTED PERSONS.
SO, AS FAR AS THE DETAILS OF IT, I DON'T HAVE THE DETAILS, BUT OUR COVERT UNITS STARTED, UH, SURVEILLING THE, UH, LOCATION BACK IN OF, UH, NOVEMBER OF 24.
IN JANUARY OF 25, UH, ONE OF THE PERSONS STAYING AT THE HOME, UH, BEGAN TO MAKE A CALLER FROM NEXT DOOR CAN HEAR SOMEBODY STANDING, YOU KNOW, LIVING THERE, UH, MAKING THREATS TO SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE HOME THAT THEY WERE GONNA KILL, KILL SOMEBODY.
UM, HOWEVER, FORTUNATELY BECAUSE IT WAS SECONDHAND INFORMATION, UM, NO ARREST WAS MADE, UH, DURING THAT TIME.
BUT, UH, IT STARTED LEADING US TO THE MENTAL HEALTH RELATED, UH, TYPES OF CALLS THERE AT THE HOUSE.
IN JUNE OF 25, UH, ANOTHER FAMILY VIOLENCE CALL WAS MADE, AND IT WAS, AGAIN, ANOTHER ASSAULT.
AND DURING THAT ASSAULT, SOMEBODY LI STAYING IN A HOME, UH, AGAIN, DISPLAYED A KNIFE TO THE VICTIM.
UH, DURING THAT ASSAULT, IN JULY OF 25, ANOTHER FAMILY VIOLENCE WAS CALLED TO THE, WAS MADE TO THE LOCATION.
DETECTIVES WERE CONTACTED AND SOME, UH, THE, UH, PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR, FOR THE ASSAULT.
IN OCTOBER OF 25, OUR SECOND DART WARRANT WAS MADE, UH, OR WAS EXECUTED.
TWO ARRESTS WERE MADE, UM, FOR BOTH, UH, PERSONS STAYING IN THE HOME.
ONE OF 'EM WAS ARRESTED FOR NARCOTICS AND THE OTHER ONE ARRESTED FOR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.
AND IN JULY OF 26, UH, THERE WAS A, UM, PEOPLE STARTED STAYING IN TENTS OUTSIDE.
AND DURING THAT TIME, THERE WAS A, OBVIOUSLY THEY HAD, OR THEY HAD A, A DOG AND THAT DOG BIT, SOMEBODY, UM, THERE IN FRONT OF THE LOCATION.
[00:25:01]
CALL IN JANUARY OF 26, THERE WAS ANOTHER FIRE STARTED.UH, HOWEVER, THIS WAS IN THE BACKYARD OF THE LOCATION.
IN FEBRUARY OF 26, THERE WERE, AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, IT'S KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, HAVEN FOR, FOR VAGRANT.
SO SQUATTERS THAT WERE STAYING THERE BEFORE, WERE BACK AT THE LOCATION, REMOVING ITEMS FROM THE, FROM THE HOME, WHICH UPSET THE CURRENT PEOPLE.
UH, STAYING AT THE LOCATION IN MAY OF 26.
UH, ANOTHER ASSAULT REPORT WAS MADE JUST FOR OFFICERS JUST KIND OF PATROLLING THEIR AREA, PATROLLING THEIR BEAT.
UM, THEY WERE FLAGGED DOWN FOR, FOR AN ASSAULT THERE AT THE, UH, AT THE, AT THE HOUSE IN SEPTEMBER OF 26.
OUR THIRD WARRANT FOR THE LOCATION, NOT WITH THE DART UNIT, NOT A DART WARRANT, BUT WITH THE DART UNIT, UH, WAS MADE.

UH, THEY WEREN'T ARRESTED THAT DAY.
UM, IN THAT SAME MONTH, OUR FOURTH WARRANT FOR THE LOCATION WAS MADE, UH, IN ORDER TO, UH, ABATE THE PROPERTY.
THE, UH, ONE PARTICULAR CALL THAT I CAN REMEMBER THERE HAPPENED AT THE LOCATION WAS A, UH, THERE WAS A ROBBERY THAT HAPPENED DOWN THE STREET AND THE SUSPECTS RAN TO TWO 15 HOLY CROSS, WHERE THEY BARRICADED THEMSELVES.
UM, AND OUR PATROL UNIT SET UP ON, ON THE HOUSE AND WE'RE ABLE TO DETAIN AND ARREST TWO PERSONS, UM, FROM THE HOME.
AGAIN, IT SHOWS THAT THIS HOUSE IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S UNSECURED, IT'S UNSAFE, UM, FOR, IT'S, IT'S A HAVEN FOR FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND GO, UNFORTUNATELY.
AND IT MAKES IT REALLY DIFFICULT, UM, FOR NEIGHBORS AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR POLICE TO, YOU KNOW, SECURE AND KEEP PLACES SAFE WHEN YOU HAVE A REVOLVING DOOR FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND GO AS THEY PLEASE.
UM, OUTSIDE OF THAT, I'LL LEAVE IT TO OFFICER EVANS.
UH, THAT PRETTY MUCH COMPLETES.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ANYONE? THANK YOU.
I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE WEST SAFE UNIT.
BEEN ON THE UNIT FOR A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS AS WELL, AND ON THE DEPARTMENT FOR FIVE.
I'M ACTUALLY THE SAFE OFFICER FOR THAT AREA OR THE AREA IN WHICH THIS, UH, PROPERTY IS AT.
I HAVE, UH, RECEIVED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROPERTY AND THE BULK OF IT IS BEING THE, UH, FOOT TRAFFIC PEOPLE CONSTANTLY COMING AND GOING, UM, ALL TIMES A DAY.
IT'S NOT JUST IN THE MORNING, IT'S NOT JUST AT NIGHT.
THAT'S JUST, UM, THE BULK OF THE COMPLAINTS.
NOT ONLY DOES IT MAKE NEIGHBORS, UM, YOU KNOW, WORRY ABOUT THEIR, THEIR PROPERTY AND THEIR VEHICLES, BUT SOME OF THESE FOLKS HAVE FAMILIES, THEIR KIDS THERE, NOT TOO FOND OF THEIR CHILDREN PLAYING OUTSIDE WHEN YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, HOMELESS VAGRANT, PEOPLE COMING IN AND GOING AND UM, KIND OF HOURS OF THE DAY.
ANOTHER COMPLAINT I'VE GOTTEN MULTIPLE TIMES IS INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROPERTY STEALING WATER, UM, FROM NEIGHBORS.
UM, THEY TYPICALLY JUST GO UP TO THE SPIGOT, FILL UP BUCKETS OF WATER BOTTLES, WHATEVER THEY NEED OR HOWEVER THEY'RE ABLE TO, UH, CARRY THE WATER.
THERE'S ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT, UH, WAS REPORTED TO ME THAT COULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.
UM, THIS PROPERTY HAS A BLUE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY.
IT APPEARS PEOPLE SLEEP IN IT, UH, LIVE OUT OF THAT VEHICLE.
UM, THERE IS ALSO A NEIGHBORING HOUSE IN THE AREA THAT HAS A BLUE VEHICLE AS WELL.
THERE WAS AN INCIDENT WHERE MOTHER AND CHILDREN WERE COMING OUT TO THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING GETTING READY TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WORK AND THERE WAS A UNKNOWN INDIVIDUAL JUST SLEEPING IN THEIR VEHICLE.
UM, SO WENT AND GOT THE HUSBAND MADE CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL, UH, INDIVIDUAL BECAME VERY ARGUMENTATIVE SAYING HE HAD PERMISSION TO SLEEP IN THIS VEHICLE, UM, UNTIL IT WAS REITERATED MULTIPLE TIMES TO HIM THAT HE WAS IN THE WRONG BLUE VEHICLE.
HE GATHERED HIS BELONGINGS AND LEFT, BUT COULD POTENTIALLY BEEN DANGEROUS, HAD THE, YOU KNOW, HUSBAND NOT BEEN THERE OR THE KIDS WENT TO THE CAR FIRST, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.
UM, AND LASTLY, JUST TO UH, KIND OF PAINT A PICTURE OF WHERE IT'S AT.
THIS LOCATION IS WITHIN A HALF MILE RADIUS OF LOMA PARK ELEMENTARY AND ALTE PARK.
YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? ANY QUESTIONS, UH, IN THE AREA? NOW THIS IS RELATED TO THE SCHOOL.
IS THIS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREA FOR CHILDREN WALKING OR NO, I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT I KNOW THEY HAVE
[00:30:01]
A BIG CARPOOL AREA, SO I'M NOT TOO SURE HOW MUCH FOOT TRAFFIC OF THAT, UH, AREA IS CHILDREN, BUT THE SCHOOL IS ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY.SO I KNOW THERE'S TRAFFIC OF CHILDREN.
I'M NOT TOO SURE IF THEY'RE WALKING TO AND FROM SCHOOL.
AND BY THE PHOTO THAT WE PULLED UP THE COMMUNITY AROUND IT.
IT'S A HIGH DENSITY NEIGHBORHOOD FOR CHILDREN, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND THE SAME PEOPLE THAT YOU RUN INTO IN OTHER PLACES END UP HERE AS WELL? YES, WE HAVE SEEN THEM AT OTHER VACANT HOMES OR LOTS AS WELL? YES SIR.
AND NOW WE'LL HAVE THE OWNER, UH, MARIANO GARCIA.
PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT.
OKAY, MY NAME IS MARIA OR GARCIA REGA.
MY NAME IS MARIANO REGA GARCIA.
AND I'M HERE TO, TO TEST THIS THINGS THAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT THE WATER WITH, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY RESOURCES BECAUSE WHEN MY WIFE WAS ALIVE, SHE PASSED AND THERE'S NO EXCUSES.
BUT MY EXCUSE IS WHEN MY WIFE WAS ALIVE, SHE WOULD, THAT HOUSE WOULDN'T BE THE WAY IT IS NOW.
'CAUSE SHE LIKED TO WATCH HOME IMPROVEMENT AND I WOULD HELP HER, BUT WITHOUT HER, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
I TOLD MY DOCTOR I GAVE UP ON LEAVING BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE HER BY MY SIDE LIKE I USED TO.
AND I'M SURE THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T HAVE ANY SYMPATHY, BUT I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS DO, LADIES, BECAUSE I DO WANNA GO, I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING UP OR DOWN, BUT I WANNA GO AT THAT ADDRESS.
I DON'T WANNA BE GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE.
AND THE PERSON THAT'S LIVING IN THAT CAR, I'M STAYING IN THE CAR BECAUSE I FEEL IT'S, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, I HAVE A FLASHLIGHT THERE AND ALL I DO IS SMOKE CIGARETTES.
AND I'M NOT OUT THERE LOOKING FOR THIS AND THAT.
ALL THESE PEOPLE HERE, OR PEOPLE THAT WOULD JUST COME AND I WOULD STOP MOST OF 'EM.
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? THAT GUY THAT STAYED WITH THEIR DOGS, HE DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THERE.
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE PUT THE ADDRESS WITHOUT ME, MY CONSENT.
AND ALL I DID WAS, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW I'M HOPING MY SON WILL HELP ME FIX THE STRUCTURE.
THERE'S JUST SMOKE DAMAGE ON THE INSIDE.
BUT I'M WILLING TO STAY THERE BECAUSE I'M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
I WANNA STAY HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.
AND ME AND MY WIFE PICKED THAT HOUSE.
AND FOR ME, YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST BEEN TRYING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
IT WAS LIKE THAT BEFORE, BEFORE I MOVED INTO THAT HOUSE.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY SAY IT IS PAINTED.
YES, WE HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE UN SCRUPULOUS AND WOULD COME AND GO AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WHEN I WASN'T THERE.
BUT WHEN I'M THERE, I'M NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN.
AND I HAVE FRIENDS THAT TELL ME, YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER THERE AND DO SOMETHING TO THEM? I SAID, NO, THEY DON'T CUT THEIR OWN NECKS.
THESE PEOPLE HERE THAT DO WHAT THEY DO OR WHAT THEY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DO.
I'M 75, AND I WANNA JUST NOT HAVE ANY MORE PROBLEMS. AND IF IT TAKES ME TO SELL THAT HOUSE, WHICH I DON'T WANNA SELL IT, I WANNA GO THERE.
I WANNA DIE IN SAN ANTONIO, BUT I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO, TO HELP ME.
I'VE ASKED FOR CPS ENERGY TO HELP ME WITH ELECTRICITY.
I WROTE A LETTER TO THE WATER PEOPLE.
I HAVE WATER ON THERE RIGHT, RIGHT NOW.
AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF PLUMBING.
THE KITCHEN HAS A SINK, THE RESTROOM HAS A SINK.
IT JUST NEEDS TO A LITTLE BIT OF PLUMBING AND IT'S GONNA COST ME MONEY TO DO IT.
AND RIGHT NOW, I'M ONLY LIVING BY MY SOCIAL SECURITY.
I DON'T, I CAN'T WORK BECAUSE I GET SEIZURES.
I DON'T KNOW WHY INHERITED THEM.
I DON'T HAVE ASTHMA, BUT I HAD SEIZURES.
AND ALSO I'M TAKING MEDICINE FOR PROSTATE.
AND RIGHT NOW I'M LIVING BY MYSELF WITH MY DAUGHTER.
AND INSTEAD OF MY DAUGHTER TAKING CARE OF ME, I'M TAKING CARE OF HER, WHICH IS, SOME DAUGHTERS TAKE CARE OF THEIR DADS,
[00:35:01]
BUT I'M TAKING CARE OF HER AND I'M GONNA TAKE CARE OF LONG AS I LIVE.PEOPLE SAY IT'S NOT, BUT IT'S A SMOKE.
I PAY 15,000 FOR, FOR THE ROOF.
AND YEAH, IT NEEDS TILE WHERE IT NEEDS MAYBE A ROLL UP, UH, SOMETHING ON THERE.
BUT IT NEEDS VERY LITTLE BIT OF, IT'S GONNA COST MONEY TO FIX A LITTLE BIT OF PLUMBING, LIKE I SAID.
BUT IN THE BACK, ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT WOULD JUST COME AND GO, THAT GUY THAT WITH THE DOGS, HE DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THERE.
HE DOESN'T LIVE THERE ANYMORE.
HE WENT TO GO LIVE WITH HIS AUNT.
I TOLD HIM, YOU NEED TO GO AND TAKE YOUR DOG WITH YOU BECAUSE, UH, THERE WERE ROT WILDERS OR SOMETHING.
AND HE, THEY BEAT SOME LADY THAT WASN'T EVEN LEAVING THERE.
AND THAT SAME LADY THAT THEY BIT, I TOLD HER THAT NIGHT, DON'T GO ANYWHERE, IT'S RAINING.
SHE TOOK A WALK IN ALBA GALLEGOS AND THEY RAN OVER HER RIGHT THERE IN CULEBRA AFTER I TOLD HER, LISTEN TO ME, DON'T STAY HERE IN THE CAR.
AND SHE WAS A GOOD PERSON, BUT JUST WITH THE LORD NOW.
AND I JUST HOPE THAT YOU PEOPLE HAVE SOME KIND OF SYMPATHY BECAUSE I NEVER ASKED FOR FOOD STAMPS.
I NEVER ASKED ANYTHING FROM THE CITY.
I NEVER, NEVER ASKED MY NEIGHBORS FOR NOTHING ON MY RELATIVES, FOR NOTHING.
I TRY TO STAND UP ON MY OWN TWO FEET RIGHT NOW.
I'M BARELY, YOU KNOW, WALKING.
THIS LADY BROUGHT ME OVER HERE.
AND I JUST HOPE THE GUYS REALIZE, AND LADIES REALIZE THAT I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN WITH THE RESOURCES THAT I HAVE.
AND I KEEP GETTING, UH, MS. CASTILLO SAID SHE WAS GONNA HELP FROM THE CITY.
AND YOU KNOW, I'M STILL WAITING, BUT, UH, WHEN MY SON GETS HOME, I'M PRETTY SURE HE'LL HELP ME BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE HIM.
AND I RAISED HIM FOR 40 YEARS, 41 YEARS.
I DIDN'T ABANDON MY WIFE OR MY DAUGHTER.
AND I HOPE YOU GUYS DON'T ABANDON ME AND THROW ME OUT THERE WITH A REST OF HOMELESS PEOPLE OUT THERE BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA LIVE IN AN APARTMENT.
I DON'T WANNA RENT A HOUSE TOO HOME.
WHEN MY SON COMES, PEOPLE CAN HELP.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE THAT, LIKE THOSE GUYS THAT RAN IN THERE, THEY ROB SOMEBODY.
I SAY, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING RUNNING IN HERE? OH, OH, NO, NO, YOU GUYS GO OUT THE BACK DOOR AND GO OUT.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? SO I DON'T BELIEVE IN NEEDLES.
THAT'S ONE THING I DON'T, BUT I DO BELIEVE IN PEOPLE THAT I'VE LIVED HERE.
AND I DIDN'T LIKE, I DON'T LIKE TO ASK ME ASKING PEOPLE.
AND LIKE I SAID, THERE'S NO EXCUSE.
BUT I GAVE UP THE LAST TWO YEARS WHEN MY WIFE WENT TO HAVE, I JUST GAVE UP.
I DIDN'T WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH A HAMMER OR NAIL.
BUT WHAT I'M ASKING IS FOR YOU GUYS TO HAVE SOME KIND OF, UM, HARD TO TRY TO HELP ME IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I DON'T LIKE TO ASK.
BUT THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HELP ME.
THERE'S GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE AND GOOD PEOPLE HERE.
I WORKED AT USAA, I WAS THERE TO WORK.
I WASN'T THERE TO FRONT MYSELF WITH LADIES AND STUFF BECAUSE I LIVED WITH MY WIFE FOR 41 YEARS UNTIL SHE LEFT ME.
AND WHEN SHE LEFT ME, I GAVE UP, I GAVE UP ON LEAVING.
I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO SEE A DOCTOR OR NOTHING.
AND THEY TOLD ME, NO, YOU NEED TO KEEP ON LIVING.
YOU GOT A DAUGHTER, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU GOT GRANDCHILDREN.
YES, I DO, BUT I DON'T WANT TO LIVE NOWHERE ELSE IF, BUT IF I HAVE TO.
I I, I'M PLANNING TO SELL THE HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
I GOT A FRIEND HERE THAT HE'S GOT A COMPANY THAT'S GOING TO BUY IT.
AND IF YOU GUYS, LADIES HELP ME GIMME SOME TIME, YOU KNOW? 'CAUSE I'LL TRY TO DO WHAT
[00:40:01]
I CAN AND IF I CAN'T FIX IT, I, I'M GONNA SELL IT AND LET THEM TAKE CARE OF WHATEVER LITTLE BIT THEY HAVE TO DO.I MEAN, THEY HAVE TO SPEND SOME MONEY TO SELL IT.
AND THAT CAR IS PARKED OUT THERE.
THAT CAR JUST HAS A FLAT, THE MOTOR'S NO GOOD.
AND I'M PLANNING TO MAYBE BUY A USED CAR AND GET EVERYTHING OUT OF THERE AND CALL, PICK AND PULL AND MOVE THAT CAR OUT OF THERE.
IF IT WOULD'VE BEEN OUT THERE IN THE STREET BY ANOTHER CITY WOULD'VE COME AND WRECKED IT UP.
TOOK IT OFF 10 FEET FROM THE CAR.
ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS? NO.

THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION IS N CCB 3 3 9 4 BLOCK FOUR LOT FIVE.

A RE-INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED AND THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN VIOLATION.
SOME, SOME ACCUMULATION HAD BEEN REMOVED.
THE OUTSIDE PLACEMENT OF THE FURNITURE REMAINED IN ON THE FRONT PORCH.
THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY AT CANTON STREET REMAINED IN VIOLATION AND THE FURNITURE ON THE RIGHT OF WAY AND THE GARBAGE ALONG THE REAR FENCE OF THE PROPERTY.

THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN VIOLATION.
THIS FIRST PHOTO CONSISTS OF THE NOTICE THAT THE CODE OFFICERS POSTED FOR 3 0 2 0.1 EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE AND 3 0 8 0.1 ACCUMULATION OF RUBBISH OR GARBAGE.
THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE PROPERTY.
[00:50:03]
THIS IS THE ACCUMULATION AND THE OUTSIDE PLACEMENT ON THE FRONT PORCH.THIS IS THE OUT, THIS IS, EXCUSE ME.
I WOULD'VE TO HAVE SEAT THERE.
UH, IF HE COULD START OVER WITH THE PICTURES.
SO I VIEW WHAT HE'S PRESENTED IT.
IT, IT IS, UH, HE WOULD GO TO SCREEN OVER THERE.
JUST CAN WE HAVE A POINT OF ORDER FOR A MINUTE ON THE EVIDENT OR THE RESET ORDERS? THIS CASE IS IDENTIFIED AS HEARING TWO PARTS.
EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE, 0.1 EXTERIOR AND 3 0 8 0.1.
THE ORDER IS ONLY WRITTEN FOR 3 0 8 0.1.
AND WHAT IT'S APPEALING IN THE ORDER, THE ORDER, THE COURT ORDER ONLY SHOWS A 3 0 8 0.1.
SO IF WE'RE APPEALING THAT ONE THING, THEN WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HEARING 3 0 2 0.1.
THIS IS, THIS IS A NEW CASE THERE.
THERE WAS A PREVIOUS APPEAL IN 25, BUT THIS IS, THIS IS A NEW CASE.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT, YES, THAT'S WHAT I'M CLARIFYING BECAUSE IT SAYS APPEAL HERE AND IT SHOWS A PRE-CASE ALREADY.
UH, CAN I BE GIVEN A MINUTE TO BE BROUGHT UP TO SPEED? IF YES, YES.

AND THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD WILL NOW RECONVENE AN OPEN SESSION.
NO OFFICIAL ACTION WAS TAKEN IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SO, UH, DID ANYONE HAVE, UH, QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? OKAY.
UH, WE'LL HAVE THE OWNER, UH, THOMAS MCVEA.
STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT.
UM, THIS IS ONLY TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE VIOLATION WAS PROPERLY ISSUED.
IT, IT IS NOT TO DETERMINE THE CASE.
SO ANY AND ALL STATEMENTS THAT YOU MAKE NEED TO BE SPECIFICALLY TO THAT.
UM, MY NAME IS THOMAS MCVEY, RESIDING AT 1 5 1 7 EAST CROCKETT STREET, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 0 2.
UM, BASICALLY, AS YOU STATED TODAY, WE'RE HERE CONCERNING THE ISSUE.
ISSUANCE OF VIOLATION NOTICES, CITATIONS TO THE PROPERTY.
THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL VIOLATION NOTICES ISSUED TO THE PROPERTY CONCERNING THE SAME MATTER WITH THE TRASH COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY FROM THE HEB STORE POLLUTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
12 OF 14 HOMES IN THAT ONE BLOCK AREA HAVE RECEIVED VIOLATION NOTICES, CITATION NOTICES
[00:55:02]
FROM SAN ANTONIO CODE ENFORCEMENT CONCERNING THE TRASH COMING FROM HEB STORE.UH, SUPERVISOR JOE MARTINEZ CAME OUT WITH OFFICER SAGE JORGENSEN LAST YEAR.
WE OBSERVED THE TRASH COMING FROM THE STORE OVER TO MY PROPERTY.
SO DISCONTINUANCE HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR TOO LONG, FAR AS THE ISSUING OF THIS LAST VIOLATION.
OR LAST TWO? FIRST I'LL START WITH THE, UH, PLACEMENT OF THE, UH, ITEMS ON THE FRONT PORCH.
UM, LET, LET ME CLARIFY THIS A LITTLE BIT.
UM, YOU, WE, THIS APPEAL ONLY IS TO SAY WHETHER OR NOT THE ISSUE WAS OR THE NOTICE WAS ISSUED PROPERLY.
IT IS NOT TO TAKE AWAY THE NOTICE.
IT IS NOT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAD, YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THESE THINGS.
IT IS ONLY TO DETERMINE IF THE CODE OFFICER PROPERLY ISSUED THE CITATION OR NOT.
THE NOTICE, I'M SORRY, IT WAS NOT A CITATION.
THE NOTICE SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED.
THE SAN ANTONIO, UH, SERVICES PLACED A NOTICE ON MY DOOR TO PUT OUT THE BULK ITEMS. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE BRUSH IN THE BULK.
THEY PUT THE NOTICE ON MY DOOR AND OTHER NEIGHBORS, UM, STATING THE, UH, PICKUP DATE WOULD BE SEPTEMBER 1ST.
HAVE THE ITEMS OUT BY 7:00 AM I PUT THE ITEMS ON THE PORCH TO HAVE 'EM OUT AUGUST 28TH, THREE DAYS BEFORE THIS CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUES ME A VIOLATION NOTICE FOR HAVING THEM THERE.
SO THOSE ITEMS HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
THE OTHER ITEMS ON THE PORCH OR FINE, THEY'RE NOT HURTING ANYONE.
ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS SLEPT IN THE CHAIR, DAMAGED IT A LITTLE BIT, BUT IT STILL WORKS.
SO EXACTLY WHAT, THIS IS BASICALLY HARASSMENT FROM SAN ANTONIO CODE ENFORCEMENT.
AND AT THIS POINT, THEY'RE FINDING WAYS TO PENALIZE ME.
THERE WAS ACTUALLY ANOTHER VIOLATION THROUGH THE, UM, THREE.
ONE, ONE NUMBER STATING THAT I HAD PLACED, OR ON MY PROPERTY, ON THE TELEPHONE POST ON THE REAR OF MY PROPERTY, WAS PLACED A YARD SALE SIGN.
THEY NOTATED THAT TO MY PROPERTY.
THE OFFICER JENNIFER HERNANDEZ TORE THE SIGN DOWN.
ANYONE CAN PUT ANYTHING ON ANY TELEPHONE POST IF SHE HAD NOTICED.
I NOTICED THE SIGN MYSELF, AND I'M LIKE, PEOPLE ARE PUTTING THIS UP.
SHE DID NOT ADD THAT TICKET ALONG WITH THE, A VIOLATION ALONG WITH THESE.
BUT THIS IS THE CONTINUED HARASSMENT.
THEY'RE TRYING TO COME AT ME BECAUSE I COME DOWN HERE, I'LL TAKE MY TIME TAX PAYING CITIZEN TO COME DOWN HERE AND APPEAL THIS.
AND THIS ONE BLOCK AREA, 12 OUT OF 14 HOMES HAVE BEEN ISSUED VIOLATION NOTICES, CITATIONS, AND IT'S GETTING THROWN OUT OF MUNICIPAL COURT.
THEY'RE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TRASH IS COMING FROM THE STORE ACROSS THE STREET, WHICH IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF CANTON STREET.
MY HOME IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CANTON STREET, ALONG WITH OTHER NEIGHBORS.
I'VE BEEN CLEANING UP THE TRASH OVER 30 YEARS.
CODE ENFORCEMENT IGNORES THE TRASH COMING FROM A HEB STORE, BIG BUSINESS.
SO THEY'RE PENALIZING US WITH THIS.
AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS GOING ON SEVERAL TIMES.
UH, SOUP JOE MARTINEZ DID NOT INFORM YOU.
THIS STARTED EARLIER THIS YEAR.
IN MARCH, THERE WAS A, UH, VIOLATION NOTICE ISSUED TO THE PROPERTY AND SUBSEQUENTLY
[01:00:02]
MULTIPLE RE-INSPECTIONS THROUGH THE THREE ONE ONE CALL CENTER.I'VE GOTTEN THIS INFORMATION AND THEY HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY CLOSED THAT, UH, REFERENCE NUMBER.
THEY CLOSED ONE AND OPEN ANOTHER.
THE, THE ONLY THING THAT WE'RE HERE TO SEE TODAY IS, UH, THE AUGUST 28TH TWO, UH, STATED, UH, VIOLATIONS AND ONLY WHETHER OR NOT PROPER NOTICE WAS GIVEN OF FOR THE NOTICE TO VACATE OR NOT NOTICE TO VACATE, I'M SORRY.
UM, NONE OF, IIII UNDERSTAND HOW FRUSTRATING THIS CAN BE.
WE, WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
I'M SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME.
I WANTED IT OUT THERE, BUT, UH, OKAY.
THE PROBLEM IS THIS, UM, THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION WAS ISSUED AUGUST 28TH.
I SAW IT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER.
I OBSERVED IT ON ALL THE VIOLATION NOTICES.
THEY LIST THE OFFICERS, CODE, ENFORCEMENT OFFICER ON THE CASE AND THEIR NUMBER, THEIR PHONE NUMBER.
I'VE CALLED MS. HERNANDEZ MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE CODE ENFORCEMENT TICKET, WHICH HE PUT ON THE PICTURE.
SO IT'S ON THE RECORD, THE VIOLATION NOTICE, IT STATES THE REINSPECTION DATE WAS SEPTEMBER 14TH.
I CALLED MS. HERNANDEZ THE WEEK BEFORE TO SCHEDULE THE REINSPECTION SO WE COULD GET THIS RESOLVED.
I CALLED HER SEPTEMBER 14TH ON THAT MONDAY TO SAY, HEY, YOU'RE COMING OUT AND INSPECTING.
SHE DID NOT RESPOND TO MY CALL.
SO TO ELIMINATE THIS WHOLE PROCESS, I WAS TRYING TO COOPERATE WITH THEM.
THEY IGNORE ME AND THEY CONTINUALLY HARASS, PUNISH ME.
LIKE I SAY, WHAT'S THE USE OF ISSUING A 10 DAY VIOLATION NOTICE? AND YOU DON'T GIVE THE HOMEOWNER A CHANCE TO RESPOND, OR YOU DON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN THE HOMEOWNER CALLS THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM.
SO AT THIS POINT, LIKE I SAID, I'M CONSIDERING IT JUST HARASSMENT AS USUAL, BUT I'M GONNA STAND UP FOR MY RIGHTS.
SO WITH THIS ISSUANCE, THE, THE THINGS ON THE PORCH, IF YOU COULD LOOK AT THE LAST PICTURE HE PRESENTED, I REMOVED EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED.
THE OTHER ITEMS ARE FUNCTIONING ITEMS. THEY'RE ON THE PORCH.
IF THEY'RE A LITTLE DIRTY, WELL, I'M SORRY, IT'S OUTDOORS.
SO THOSE THAT SHOULD BE ELIMINATED, THOSE ITEMS, THE PORCH IS CLEANED UP.
LIKE I SAID, THEY'RE JUST TACKING THINGS ON.
SO THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ISSUED BECAUSE THE, UH, BULK PICKUP WAS SCHEDULED SEPTEMBER 1ST.
THEY COME OUT AUGUST 28, ISSUE ME A TICKET FOR THAT.
IT'S BEEN RESOLVED, BUT WE ARE HERE TODAY TO DEAL WITH THAT.
SO THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN PLACE FAR AS THE TRASH IN THE BACK.
THEY'VE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THAT TRASH IS COMING FROM HEB STORE.
SAGE JORGENSON, JOE MARTINEZ SUPERVISOR CAME OUT AND I SHOWED THEM HEB BAG, HEB RECEIPTS, HEB PRODUCE BAGS, COUPONS.
I SAID, SIR, DO YOU, DO YOU SEE IT? HE DIDN'T EVEN WANNA RESPOND.
ME AND MY NEIGHBOR NEXT DOOR ON 2 22 KENTON TO THE REAR OF MY PROPERTY, HE HAD RECEIVED A VIOLATION NOTICE AS WELL.
SO HE WAS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
THIS IS THE, UM, NEGLECT OF DUTY.
THIS IS THE NE NEGLECTIVE DUTY BY THE SAN ANTONIO COURT OF ENFORCEMENT.
FORCING PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH THE TRASH BEING CREATED BY A BIG BUSINESS AND PENALIZING.
OKAY? AGAIN, WE'RE NOT HERE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS TRASH.
WE ARE HERE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE NOTICE WAS PROPERLY BY LEGAL DEFINITION ISSUED.
WHERE DID YOU, WHERE DID YOU FIND THE NOTICE WHEN YOU FIRST, WHEN YOU SAW
[01:05:01]
IT? THE NOTICE WAS ON THE SIDE OF MY DOOR AS THE PICTURE SHOWED.AND MULTIPLE NEIGHBORS HAVE THEIR, THEY PUT 'EM WITH A LITTLE PIECE OF TAPE.
I FOUND MULTIPLE NEIGHBORS, UH, VIOLATION NOTICES HAVE GIVEN IT TO THEM.
I SAID, HEY, IT WAS BLOWING DOWN THE STREET.
THEY'RE LIKE, THEY CAN'T EVEN, LIKE I SAY, IT'S NEGLECTIVE DUTY TO PUT IT MILDLY.
THEY CAN COME OUT AND PUT SOMETHING ON YOUR DOOR.
BUT THE STANDING, THE REASONING BEHIND IT IS WHAT'S REALLY IMPERATIVE HERE.
YOU CAN'T, IF I HAVE A HOME ACROSS THE STREET FROM YOURS, I'M DUMPING TRASH OUT THERE, AND IT BLOWS IN YOUR YARD DAILY.
CODE ENFORCEMENT COMES AND GIVES YOU A TICKET.
AND IT'S LIKE, HEY, GET THE PROBLEM.
SO I'M LIKE, WHEN IS IT GONNA STOP? NO, MY SIR, I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION, BUT THAT'S NOT UNDER OUR PURVIEW.
LIKE, WE LITERALLY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
OKAY? WE'RE ONLY HERE TO, TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE PROPER NOTICE, UH, THE PROPER PLACEMENT OF THE NOTICE.
LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND YOU ON THAT.
YOU'RE SAYING, IN OTHER WORDS, SO WE CAN CUT THIS SHORT FOR THEM TO COME OUT AND JUST PLACE A NOTICE ON MY DOOR.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE, THE SCOPE OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THEY HAVE TO START TO DO THAT.
THAT IS WHAT THIS SPECIFIC APPEAL IS.
YOU'RE APPEALING THE ISSUANCE OF THE NOTICE.
YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY APPEALING.
UM, NOT IF THE NOTICE IS VALID OR NOT.
YES, WE ARE JUST WHETHER OR NOT YOU RECEIVED IT.
WELL, HERE'S THE QUESTION AS FAR AS THAT RECEIVING A NOTICE, I RECEIVED A NOTICE AS I JUST SAID, OKAY, I SAW THE NOTICE.
AND, AND THAT'S, THAT'S ALL WE'RE HERE FOR.
THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER'S NAME IS ON THE VIOLATION NOTICE AND HER PHONE NUMBER MM-HMM
AND THREE ONE ONE WILL GIVE YOU THEIR NUMBER.
SO HOW WAS I GIVEN THE ABILITY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION WITH A 10 DAY NOTICES? IF I'M CONTACTING THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, THEY NEVER CONTACT ME.
AND AS JOSEPH MARTINEZ JUST STATED, THEY DID AN INSPECTION ON SEPTEMBER 17TH ON THE ACTUAL VIOLATION.
NOTICE THE REINSPECTION DATE PLACED ON THERE WAS SEPTEMBER 14TH.
THAT MONDAY, THEY'RE PLAYING GAMES WITH PEOPLE AND THEY'RE NOT DOING DUE DILIGENCE.
THEY ARE, IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ISSUED.
AND THEN I WAS NEVER GIVEN A CHANCE FOR 10 DAY NOTICE NOTICE.
AGAIN, THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.
WE ARE ONLY HERE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT YOU RECEIVED THAT NOTICE AND YOU RECEIVED THAT NOTICE PROPERLY.
NOW, ALL THE REST OF THE THINGS YOU CAN GET WITH YOUR, THE CODE OFFICER AND WITH DSD THE EVER NO MA'AMS. AFTER THIS, WE CAN GO TO COURT WITH THIS.
AND FOR AS, UH, THEY'RE PLAYING GAMES, THEY KNOW IT.
AND SO AT THIS POINT, DID THEY COME OUT AND PUT THE VIOLATION NOTICE ON MY DOOR? YES.
IF THAT'S ALL YOUR SCOPE IS YES.
ALL OF THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO DECIDE.
SHOULD THEY EVER HAVE DONE IT.
DID THEY EVER GIMME A CHANCE TO REM IT? NO.
UM, I, I'LL TAKE A, I'M READY FOR A MOTION.
WITH REGARD TO 1517 EAST CROCKETT STREET, I MOVE TO UPHOLD THE ACTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT IN EXECUTING THE SUMMARY ABATEMENT AND DO NOT WAIVE THE ACTUAL COSTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES FOR THE ABATEMENT CLEARING.
SO THE EMOTION IS THAT TO UPHOLD THE ACTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, I'M SORRY,
[01:10:02]
THIS IS THE ABATEMENT AND DO NOT WAIVE THE ACTUAL COSTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES FOR THE ABATEMENT.I, I, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS THE CORRECT, THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT SCRIPT.
THAT MOTION IS FOR SUMMARY ABATEMENT.
APPEALS, UH, THIS ONE WOULD BE LIMITED TO, UH, UPHOLDING THE ISSUANCE OF THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND THAT IT WAS PROPERLY ISSUED OR REVERSING THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION DUE TO DEFECTS IN THE ISSUANCE.
SO, UM, DO WE HAVE TO LIKE, PUT THAT DOWN OR CAN WE JUST LIKE RESTART? RESTART.
OH, SHE, YOU'RE GONNA
UM, THAT'S, I I THINK YOU CAN JUST WING IT.
GO AHEAD AND JUST, YOU CAN JUST WING IT.
YOU'RE ONLY STATING THE FACT THAT EITHER UPHOLD IT OR DON'T UPHOLD IT.
I, I, I THINK THAT'S WHAT I MOVED, I, I MOVED TO UPHOLD THE ACTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT IN EXECUTING, UH, THE SUMMARY ABATEMENT AND DO NOT WAIVE THE ACTUAL COST ADMINISTRATIVE.
NO, BUT WE'RE, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO ABATEMENT.
YOU, UH, YOU EITHER UPHOLD THE NOTICE OR YOU'RE NOT UPHOLDING THE NOTICE.
I MOVE TO UPHOLD THE ACTIONS OF THE SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
UH, AND DO NOT WAIVE THE ACTUAL COST ADMINISTRATION.
THERE'S NO COST, THERE'S NO ABATEMENT.
I MOVE TO UPHOLD THE ACTIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REGARDING 1517 EAST CROCKETT STREET.
UH, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND.
UM, LET'S JUST DO, UH, ALL IN FAVOR.

MAIN STRUCTURE AND DEMO ON THE
THE DECONSTRUCTION IS DESIGNED FROM 1950, BE, UH, AND BEFORE, AND IF THAT GARAGE OR THE SECOND STRUCTURE WAS BUILT AFTER 1950, THEN IT DOES NOT FALL FOR THE PROGRAM.

UH, THE WINDOWS AND DOORS HAVE SHIFTED DUE TO THE FAILING FOUNDATION SYSTEM.
THE FOUNDATION IS SINKING INTO GRADE CAUSING FLOOR JOISTS TO BUCKLE THROUGHOUT.
JOISTS ARE ROTTING THROUGH AND THE SUBFLOOR AND FLOOR COVERING IS SEVERELY DETERIORATED AND UNSAFE FOR ENTRY WITH A CONCERN FOR INGRESS AND EGRESS.
TO RECAP, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 2 0 2 YUMA STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTION FOR THE MAIN R 1 2 4 5 7 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18 IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE A 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 UN FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIVE HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS STIPULATION.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 2 0 2 YUMA STREET.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MS. SANCHEZ.
DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FOR MS. SANCHEZ? I HAVE ONE AND IT'LL PROBABLY BE TO THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM REPRESENTATIVE.
UM, THERE WAS A RECOMMENDATION, UH, ACTUALLY A, A FINISH ON 4 8 26, UH, THAT CAME FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SENT IT OR NOT.
UM, IT SAYS THAT THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM AREA, HOWEVER,
[02:10:01]
THERE IS NO ACTIVE CASE.WHAT ANY, WHAT, WHAT GIVES IT THE CASE EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN THE AREA.
HOW DO YOU GET THAT TO A CASE FOR YOU GUYS TO SAY THEY CAN'T MOVE FORWARD FOR US TO SAY THAT DSD CAN'T MOVE FORWARD OR, BUT YEAH.
'CAUSE IT SAYS IT CAN NOW GO FORWARD IF, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A CASE ON THIS PROPERTY, IT CAN GO FORWARD TO, UH, DP.
SO PREVIOUSLY WE WERE IN THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND THERE WAS, UM, AN AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD HOLD THE CASE IF WE WANTED TO PURSUE IT FOR SIX MONTHS AND PAUSE THE DP PROCESS.
UM, IN MARCH WE MOVED OVER TO DSD, SO NOW WE'RE ALL ONE TEAM AND SO, UH, WE DON'T HAVE THAT HOLD NECESSARILY ANYMORE.
UM, AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHERE THAT NOTE CAME FROM.
SO THIS IS DURING THE TRANSITION, SO IF THERE WAS AN ACTIVE CASE ON THIS, IT WOULD FREEZE RIGHT THERE UNTIL THE SITU, UH, UNTIL WHATEVER CAME ABOUT RIGHT? CORRECT.
BRITTANY, IF I MAY ALSO, IF, IF I MAY ADD SOME, SOME MORE UH, CONTEXT TO THAT QUESTION.
THIS IS KATHY RODRIGUEZ, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPRESENTATIVE.
UM, THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE THOSE NOTES COULD INDICATE THAT IT IS IN THE PROGRAM AREA, BUT IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN VACANT AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS IDENTIFIED.
SO A CASE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CREATED.
UH, ALSO IF THERE IS A CONDITION SUCH AS THIS WHERE, UM, IT, IT'S, UM, IT, IT'S PROBABLY NOT FEASIBLE TO RESTORE OR TO REPAIR BECAUSE OF SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE DUE TO FIRE OR SOME OTHER ACT.
UM, THE VACANT BUILDING PROGRAM MAY NOT OPEN AN ACTIVE CASE, UH, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT MAY NOT BE A REASONABLE, WE MAY NOT GET THE, UM, THE EFFECT OF UM, EITHER DEMOLITION OR REPAIRS AND SO WE JUST LET IT MOVE FORWARD.
ANOTHER INSTANCE MAY BE THAT THERE IS NO OWNER, THAT IT IS EITHER THE OWNER IS DECEASED OR THERE'S NOT AN OWNER THAT WE COULD PURSUE ENFORCEMENT ACTION ON SO THAT WE WOULD ALLOW THAT TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE UH, DP PROCESS.
AND THE REASON I SAY IT IS BECAUSE IT SAYS IT'S IN THE LOCATION, IT'S JUST LIKE HISTORIC.
YEAH, IT MIGHT BE IN A LOCATION OF HISTORIC, BUT IT'S JUST OUTSIDE OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT SO IT DOESN'T CLASSIFY AS HISTORIC.
SO THIS WOULD FALL IN THE SAME CATEGORY.
ANY OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS? NONE.
THEN WE DO HAVE THE OWNER PROPERTY PRESENT.
DISTRICT OR WHERE YOU'RE RESIDING NOW? DISTRICT FOUR.
NO, I JUST WANT, JUST CAME IN BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE WHAT THIS WAS ALL ABOUT, BUT I DO WANT TO DEMOLISH THE, THE HOUSE.
I'M JUST LIKE WAITING 'CAUSE I HAD TO GET SOME MONEY SO I CAN GET, HIRE SOMEBODY TO DO IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT TESTIMONY.
ALRIGHT THEN YOU MAY HAVE A SEAT THEN.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNER BEFORE I ALREADY ASKED HER TO STEP AWAY?
UH, CAN I GET A MOTION REGARDING 2 0 2 UMA STREET? MM-HMM
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2 0 2 YUMA 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 ONE SEVEN FOR THE MAIN 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.

THE PHOTOS BEING PRESENTED TODAY WERE TAKEN ON SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2026.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10 16 CECILIA STREET.
UH, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE ITEMS THAT ARE IN THE FRONT YARD THAT CAUSE AN EGRESS ISSUE GOING INTO THE PROPERTY.
UH, THE MAIN CONCERN IS ALL THE ON LAWFUL CONSTRUCTION AT THE PROPERTY, WHICH ARE A GARAGE AREA, A SMALL SECOND STORY STORAGE AREA THAT THEY USE IT FOR.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT ANGLE SHOWING THE UNLAWFUL STRUCTURE, WHICH IS THAT WAREHOUSE GARAGE AREA LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE EGRESS ISSUE WITH ALL THE ITEMS PLACED OUT ON THE FRONT YARD.
LEADING INTO THE GARAGE AREA OR WAREHOUSE AREA TO TRY TO MAKE ENTRY INTO IT HAD TO GO THROUGH SEVERAL MAZES TO GET TO THE, THE PROPERTY DUE TO THE, THE CONDITIONS OF THE ITEMS PLACED OUT ON THE FRONT YARD.

UH, THERE AGAIN IS THAT METAL BEAM GOING INTO THE STRUCTURE NEXT.
THIS IS RIGHT UNDERNEATH AS YOU ENTER THE GARAGE WAREHOUSE AREA.
UH, THE METAL BEAMS GOING ACROSS IT ARE SUPPORTING THE, THE ROOF SYSTEM GRAFFITI ON THE, ON THE
[02:40:01]
SHEET METAL.NEXT, THAT IS A GUTTER ISSUE TO WHERE IT'S, THAT'S WHERE THE WATER DISPERSES, WHICH ISN'T ABOUT MAYBE A FOOT AWAY FROM THE ADJACENT NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY.
THE OVERHANG, UH, IS ENCROACHING ALSO ONTO THE SETBACK.
IT IS A SLAB ON GRADE FOUNDATION WITH MAJOR CRACKS IN IT.
UH, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE EXTENSION CORDS THAT ARE BEING USED IN THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
NEXT, THAT IS ADDITION TO A STORAGE AREA ON TOP OF THE METAL BEAMS THAT ARE SUPPORTING THE, THE GARAGE OR WAREHOUSE AREA THAT IS UNLAWFUL ALSO.
NEXT, MORE PICTURES OF THE EXTENSION CORDS GOING RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE BACK.
SO THIS IS THE INTERIOR OF THE, THE WAREHOUSE GARAGE AREA.
HAD TO FLIP THE PICTURES SO WE COULD SEE THE EXTENSION CORDS CORRECTLY.
UH, BUT THERE ARE EXTENSION CORDS RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE, THE STRUCTURE.
NEXT, MORE PICTURES OF EXTENSION CORDS.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE EGRESS IS A LITTLE NARROW GOING INTO THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
NEXT HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OXIDATION ON ONE OF THE PILLARS TOWARD THE LEFT HAND SIDE.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THE METAL COVERING EXTENSION CORDS.
AND ALL THIS IS UNLAWFULLY BUILT 'CAUSE NO PERMITS WERE PULLED FOR THIS LOCATION AT ANY TIME.
NEXT, THAT IS THE SECOND STORY PER SE.
UM, THE GENTLEMAN HAD TO PLACE A LADDER TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE SECOND FLOOR.
THERE WAS NO STAIRCASE OR ANY OTHER WAY TO GET UP THERE.
UH, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE EXTENSION CORDS THROUGHOUT THE, THE STRUCTURE OXIDATION ON THE, THE METAL PIPES.
NEXT, THIS IS GOING TO THE REAR OF THE WAREHOUSE AREA.
ONCE AGAIN, UH, FIRE HAZARD, UM, EGRESS ISSUES FOR FIRST RESPONDERS.
UH, A LOT OF TRASH AND DEBRIS STORED ITEMS. UM, NEXT PICTURE.
THIS IS ACTUALLY ENTERING THE RESIDENTIAL PART OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, NEXT, THAT IS A PICTURE OF ALL THE TRASH AND DEBRIS EGRESS ISSUE.
NEXT, THIS IS THE INTERIOR KITCHEN AREA.
UH, ALL THE TRASH AND DEBRIS, STORAGE OF ITEMS. UH, VERY SMALL AREA TO GET THROUGH.
UH, NEXT, SOME SLIGHT WATER DAMAGE, EXPOSED LIGHT FIXTURES.
UM, THIS IS THE HALLWAY LEADING FROM THE MAIN ENTRY INTO THE KITCHEN AREA OR BEDROOM AREA AT THIS POINT.
NEXT TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 10 16 CECILIA STREET IN THE VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THESE CONDITIONS OR DEFICIT DEFECTS HEREIN ARE DESCRIBED SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS AND DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY AND HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
UM, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 10 16 CECILIA STREET.
I JUST WANNA CONFIRM 15 WAS PART OF THE SUBSECTION CITED.
THANK YOU FOR, I APOLOGIZE FOR CLARIFICATION.
ALRIGHT, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? I GOT A COUPLE.
THE HOUSE IS IN 1941, BUILT IN 1941.
IT REQUIRES A, AS THE NOTES SAY, DECON REQUEST.
WITH ALL OF THAT ADDED ONTO IT, IS THAT GONNA MAKE IT HARDER FOR US ORDERING A DECONSTRUCTION BECAUSE THERE'S GOT STEEL IN THERE.
KATHY RODRIGUEZ, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR.
I BELIEVE THE QUESTION IS RELATED TO THE TYPE OF MATERIALS, UH, WHETHER THEY WOULD BE SALVAGEABLE AND REUSABLE MATERIALS.
SO PART OF THE DECONSTRUCTION PROCESS IS THAT THE CONTRACTOR WILL MEET WITH THE OWNER ON SITE TO ASSESS THE MATERIALS THAT ARE IN PLACE AND MAKE A DETERMINATION OF WHAT CAN BE SALVAGED AND WHAT CAN BE REUSED.
[02:45:01]
UNDERSTANDING.BUT IN THIS CASE HERE, THE PHOTOS CLEARLY SHOW THAT THERE'S KIND OF A MURKY LINE ON A DECONSTRUCTION PART OF THIS.
I WOULD IMAGINE THE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1941, BUT THE UNLAWFUL ADDITIONS WERE CLEARLY ADDED MUCH AFTER.
SO THE DECONSTRUCTION WOULD IMPACT THE RESIDENTIAL ONLY.
WAS THERE IN EXISTENCE, UH, IN UH, 1941.
ALRIGHT, BECAUSE I, I, I WANNA, 'CAUSE I KNOW IT'S GONNA GET VERY MURKY WHEN SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO WALK THROUGH THERE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WHAT.
UM, THE NEXT ONE IS, IS THERE SOMEBODY STILL LIVING THERE? MM-HMM
THERE IS UNDERSTANDING A PREVIOUS OWNER IS STILL LIVING IN THE HOUSE.
THAT IS A STORY WITHIN ITSELF.
I, WELL, I IMAGINE IT WOULD BE, UM, NEED A BEER, PROBABLY HAVE A CASE OF BEERS,
THIS HERE OBVIOUSLY STILL HAS ELECTRICITY.
AND YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR VACATE? NOT AT THIS TIME, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, SIR, I DIDN'T, I, I NEED TO GO BACK AND READ THROUGH ALL THE NOTES TO SEE WHAT THE PREVIOUS OFFICER DID AND, UH, WHAT HIS TRAIN OF THOUGHT WAS.
I JUST INHERITED THIS CASE MONTH AND A HALF AGO.
SO MY FIRST CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHEN I WENT OUT THERE TO SERVE A WARRANT TO GET INTO THE STRUCTURE.
AND IT SEEMS TO ME THE NOTES WERE NOT CLEAR WHEN IT SAID ABOUT A YEAR AGO ALL THIS OTHER STUFF WAS TAKING PLACE.
IT SEEMS TO BE THERE'S A LITTLE ISSUE, WHICH IS A CIVIL ISSUE.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GONNA END UP COMING.
I GUESS MY QUESTION WOULD BE TO, TO LEGAL.
WE CAN STILL ORDER A VACATE, CORRECT? CORRECT.
THE BOARD CAN ADD, UH, ANY ADDITIONAL ORDERS IT DEEMS APPROPRIATE.
IT, IT IS, UH, THE BOARD, UH, UH, LISTENS TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF, UH, THE CODE OFFICERS AND OTHERS APPEARING BEFORE YOU.
BUT ULTIMATELY THE BOARD DECIDES WHAT IS APPROPRIATE BASED ON WHAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU PROBABLY WERE PLAYING WITH THAT IN YOUR HEAD ABOUT THE EVICTION OR THE VACATE PLUS.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH THIS A LOT IN MY HEAD LATELY.
LOOKING AT THAT, IT'S A PRETTY DECENT SIZED LOT.
HAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE WATERS SPILLED OVER ON THE NEIGHBORS? I NOTICED THE CONSTRUCTION FENCE AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT ONE FENCE.
THEY PUT CONSTRUCTION BARRIER UP.
IS THERE AN INDICATION SOMETHING ELSE IS GOING ACROSS THAT FENCE? NO, NOTHING AT ALL.
UM, THE PART OF THE UNLAWFUL CONSTRUCTION OF THAT WAREHOUSE GARAGE AREA, IT DOES ENCROACH ON THE SETBACK, BUT JUST THAT SLIGHT OVERHANG, I THINK THE WALL OF THE ACTUAL STRUCTURES MAYBE ABOUT FIVE FEET FROM THE FENCE LINE.
AND I THINK ALL THAT WAS BEING CONSIDERED WHEN THIS CASE WAS OPENED.
UH, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, UH, IT WENT THROUGH REZONING FROM A MULTI-FAMILY TO RESIDENTIAL, WHICH TRIGGERED EVERYTHING AS FAR AS THE TYPE OF MATERIALS THAT WERE BEING USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE FENCE TO WHERE IT WASN'T UP TO CODE AT THAT TIME WHEN IT WAS DONE.
NOW WHEN YOU NOTED THE SECOND STORY PART WITH THE LADDER GETTING TO IT, THAT IS WHAT THE, THE OWNER TOLD ME OR THE TENANT TOLD ME WHEN OKAY.
I DIDN'T SEE ANOTHER PLACE TO GET TO THAT PART TO GET TO THAT LADDER TO GO UP.
WAS THERE ANOTHER LADDER THAT WAS LEADING TO THAT PART? NO, THERE WAS NO STAIRCASE, NO, UH, ANYTHING TO GET TO THE SECOND LEVEL BESIDES AN ACTUAL LADDER THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH, UH, FROM ONE AREA TO ANOTHER AREA.
I JUST WANNA ASK ABOUT THE 55 GALLON BARRELS THAT WERE OUT THERE ON THE PROPERTY.
ANY REASON TO SUSPECT THAT THEY COULD BE HAZARDOUS? UH, NO.
I JUST BELIEVE THAT THE GENTLEMAN AND THE TENANT IS JUST PICKS UP MATERIALS TO USE 'EM, BRING 'EM BACK,
[02:50:01]
TRIED TO FIND SOME USE FOR THEM.IN HIS TRADE, HE'S A, A LANDSCAPER, REPAIRS LAWNMOWERS, WEED EATERS SITUATION LIKE THAT.
BUT I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SUCH AS OIL OR GAS IN THEM OR CHEMICALS.
THEY DIDN'T MENTION AT ANY TIME DID ANY OF THAT WAS ARTISTIC
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE BECAUSE YEAH, I, I'VE, I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.
'CAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SOMEBODY WOULD CLAIM AND HE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT OFFICER? UH, YES.
UH, SO IN THE NOTES HERE INDICATE THAT, UM, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH AN OWNER ON, UH, OCTOBER THE SEVENTH OF 25, UH, ON ANGEL WAS THE NAME.
AND THEN THE NEXT DAY, UH, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH AN OWNER, UH, ON ANGEL, UH, REGO.
AND, AND AN ATTORNEY NAMED GREG THAT WAS THE SEVENTH.
IS THIS THE SAME, UH, OWNER THAT EMAILED YOU THIS MORNING OR TALKED TO YOU THIS MORNING BY THE NAME THAT YOU'RE MENTIONING? I WANNA SAY YES, BUT AT THAT TIME I WASN'T THE OFFICER ON THE CASE, SO, BUT I'M PROBABLY 90% SURE THAT IS THE SAME GENTLEMAN THAT IS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
SO, SO BACK THEN THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE GONNA GET AN ENGINEER'S REPORT AND DETERMINE WHETHER TO TEAR DOWN AND SO FORTH AND, UH, HE, SO INCLUDED IN THIS COMMUNICATION WAS AN ATTORNEY NAMED GREG.
THE, UH, NOTICE, UH, ONE OF THE NOTICES WAS SENT TO AN ADDRESS ON WEST HILDERBRAND THAT IS, THAT IS AN ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ACCORDING TO THE MAP, UH, GOOGLE.
SO IT, IT APPEARS THAT, THAT THEY HAVE HAD NOTICE AT LEAST SINCE, UH, OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR, CORRECT? IN CONTRADICTION OF WHAT, WHAT HE SAID? YEAH, BECAUSE IN, IN THE LETTER THAT HE, THE EMAIL THAT HE SENT ME, HE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT A LAW FIRM OF ALBERT VAN CLEVE THAT THE NOTICE WAS MAILED TO.
AND I BELIEVE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE ADDRESS ON HILDEBRAND THAT IT WAS SENT TO.
AND HE STATING THAT, JUST TO CLARIFY.
UM, SO THE ATTORNEY WAS INVOLVED, UH, GREG FRAN CLEVE IS ALBERT'S SON, HE'S PART OF THE LAW FIRM.
AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT, UH, HE WAS UNABLE TO PRACTICE LAW.
AND SO THE, THE MAILING THAT IS THE VAN CLEVE LAW FIRM.
SO TO CONFIRM, GREG IS, UM, GREGORY VAN CLEVE, HE'S, UM, PART OF THE VAN CLEVE LAW FIRM AT 1512 HILDEBRAND.
AND UH, THE NAME YOU MENTIONED, UH, WAS THE SAME NAME FROM THE, UH, EMAIL THE CODE OFFICER RECEIVED TODAY.
SO FROM THAT ONE MIGHT DRAW THE CONCLUSION THAT THAT GUY WAS LYING TO YOU THIS MORNING.
I'LL HAVE TO SAY THAT I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE CODE OFFICER.
ANYONE ELSE WITH ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? NO.
