AND THAT WAS ON JUNE, UH, 17, UH, 2017 AND AUGUST 31ST, 2017.
IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS, UH, THREE NINETEENS RIGHT HERE MORE THAN LIKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK.
FIRST INSPECTION, YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE SOME, THE PORCH COVER HERE, UM, IS STARTING TO COLLAPSE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF DETERIORATION TO THAT ROOF COVER.
YOU'LL SEE HERE IN A SECOND, SEE HOW ROTTED THE WOOD IS THERE.
HERE, LEFT AND HERE ON THE RIGHT.
IT IS A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE STRUCTURE, UM, POST AND BEAM FOUNDATION, WOOD FRAME, GIBBLE ROOF SYSTEM.
THIS IS THE, UH, EAST ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE SAGGING IN THE ROOF HERE.
AND, UH, WHERE THE FA FACIA BOARD AND EAVES ARE STARTING TO SHOW, SHOW DETERIORATION.
THIS IS THE REAR STRUCTURE, UH, LACK OF WEATHER, UH, PROTECTION.
YOU HAVE MISSING, MISSING TRANS SIDING.
SO JUST SHOWING LACK OF MAINTENANCE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS, UM, JOIST TIER, UH, STARTING TO FRACTURE AND COLLAPSE.
THIS FOUNDATION IS REALLY POOR CONDITION.
AND AS WE GO INSIDE THE HOUSE, YOU'LL SEE, UM, HOW MUCH THESE POSTS, UH, HOW, HOW, HOW POOR THE FOUNDATION IS.
YOU SEE THE POST, THE BEAMS ARE NOT RESTING, UH, FLUSH.
UM, THE POSTS ARE, ARE STARTING TO TWIST, UH, THROUGHOUT THE STRUCTURE.
INSIDE IS A LOT OF VANDALISM TO THE STRUCTURE, BROKEN SHEET ROCK.
AND AS YOU'RE WALKING THROUGH THIS STRUCTURE, UM, THE SUBFLOOR IS JUST SIGNIFICANTLY UNLEVEL.
AND YOU CAN SEE HERE WITH THE, THE, THE LEVEL TOOL HERE, HOW MUCH OF A DROP THAT IS, THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT DROP.
UM, AND EXCUSE ME, THE, UH, THE WOOD SUBFLOOR HERE IS STARTING TO DETACH.
[00:10:01]
AND I BELIEVE THAT'S REALLY DUE TO THE POOR FOUNDATION, UH, LEVEL THAT IS THERE.UM, ON THIS SIDE, THIS WOULD BE THE WEST ELEVATION AND THE FLOOR IS JUST DROPPING OVER HERE TO THE EAST.
AGAIN, THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, VANDALISM TO THE HOUSE.
UM, SOME POOR FRAMING ISSUES HERE.
THIS LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT'VE BEEN A, A ROOM ADDITION AT ONE TIME.
UH, THE JOIST UP HERE DOES NOT REST ON ANY, ANY TOP PLATE, UM, OR ON ANY BEARING WALL.
UM, SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF MISSING TWO BY FOURS BROKEN, TWO BY FOURS AND POOR CONSTRUCTION AND THE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO TO SHOW NATURAL LIGHTS COMING IN, SHOWING THE POOR PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS.
THIS IS BACK ON THE O OTHER SIDE.
HOW POOR THAT THOSE STUDS ARE.
JUST HAVE SIGNIFICANT LEADING.
IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT'VE BEEN SOME SMOKE DAMAGE AT ONE TIME.
UM, IT WASN'T VERY SIGNIFICANT, IT WAS JUST MORE SMOKE MISSING FLOOR, UH, SUBFLOOR THERE.
THIS IS THE REAR, UM, ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, UM, SIGNIFICANT LEANING LISTING AND IT'S, IT THE, THE FOUNDATION'S JUST RESTING ON GRADE.
UM, ANOTHER REASON WHY IT'S SHIFTING.
YOU CAN SEE THAT JOIST THERE JUST SHIFTING TO THE RIGHT.
UH, SO THROUGHOUT THAT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, YOU HAVE, UH, THE, THE FOUNDATION'S, POOR ROTTED WOOD, UM, LACKING PROTECTION.
UM, IT IS SIGNIFICANT LISTING TO RECAP THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT THREE 19 SERIES IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTIONS FOR THE MAIN R 2 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17.

PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR FITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT, UH, TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR THREE 19 SURREY.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? WAS THERE A HISTORY OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AS WELL? THERE? THERE WAS SOME CRIMINAL, UM, UH, HISTORY.
UM, I CAN LET S A P D UM, UH, COVER THAT, THAT PORTION OF IT.
UM, IT IS BELIEVED, UH, THAT MARIA LAN IS DECEASED.
I SPOKE TO A LISA GARCIA WHO'S THE GRANDDAUGHTER.
UM, THE BROTHER, HER BROTHER WAS LIVING THERE AT MARTIN FILON.
UM, AND HE IS NOW IN A NURSING HOME.
I THINK THERE MIGHT MIGHT'VE BEEN SOME.
UM, HE WAS, I THINK HE WAS THE ONE THAT WAS STAYING AT THE PROPERTY THAT WAS CAUSING A LOT OF THE ISSUES THERE AT THE PROPERTY.
UM, BUT THE PROPERTY IS IN THE NAME OF MARIA FILON AND WHEN I SPOKE TO LISA GARCIA, SHE, UH, HAD BELIEVED THAT THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A, A POLICEMAN AND AS SOON AS HE FINISHED.
AND WE HAVE MR. UH, OFFICER SCOTT, GARY SCOTT, YES, THE CASE.
I'M OFFICER SCOTT WITH SAN ANTONIO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I WORK ON THE SOUTH SAFE UNIT, WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY POLICING UNIT.
BUT THIS ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY HERE, WE GOT A LOT OF CALLS FOR MENTAL HEALTH RELATED CALLS.
MICROPHONE, OH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
WE GET A LOT OF CALLS FOR MENTAL HEALTH CALLS AT THIS SPECIFIC LOCATION, UH, WHERE THE GENTLEMAN THAT HE SPOKE OF WOULD GO OUTSIDE AND ACTUALLY SCREAM, HE'LL GO OUTSIDE NAKED, HE'LL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT DRUGS, SPECIFICALLY HEROIN.
UM, BUT THIS ADDRESS HERE IS VERY KNOWN FOR HOUSING.
THIS SPECIFIC IN INDIVIDUAL WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE, UM, HIS HOUSE RENTED OUT, HIS DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE ROOM RENTED OUT TO, UH, DIFFERENT CRIMINALS, DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO ARE USING DRUGS, UM, AS WELL AS PROSTITUTION.
UH, HE ALLOWED THEM TO STAY FOR THE NIGHT, $40, $30 A NIGHT, WHATEVER HE COULD GET FROM THEM.
UM, THEN FROM THERE WE LOCATED A LOT OF SYRINGES INSIDE.
UM, THERE'S A COUPLE TIMES WHERE MENTAL HEALTH WOULD ACTUALLY COME OUT AND ACTUALLY EMERGENCY DETAIN THIS IN INDIVIDUAL BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT HE WAS SUFFERING FROM A LOT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
[00:15:01]
WHEN I TALKED TO HIM, Q'S MENTAL, UM, HIS MENTAL HEALTH WASN'T THERE AS FAR AS HIS FAMILY REALLY COULDN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH FAMILY.UH, NEIGHBORS WOULD ACTUALLY STEP IN HELP PROVIDE THIS INDIVIDUAL WITH WATER, FOOD OR OTHER RESOURCES THAT HE DID NOT HAVE.
UM, BECAUSE THERE WAS SEVERAL TIMES I GO TO THE HOUSE, THERE WAS NO POWER, NO WATER, AND JUST, IT WAS JUST UNLIVABLE CONDITIONS THAT I SAW.
SO THAT'S WHERE I RECOMMENDED TO, UH, THE DARK BOARD TO HAVE THIS LOCATION DARTED.
AND FROM THAT POINT, WE WERE ABLE TO, UM, MAKE THE COMMUNITY FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE AT PEACE, UM, KNOWING THAT THE POLICE WAS THERE AND THAT THE CITY WAS TAKING ACTION.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THAT OFFICER? I GOT A QUESTION AND COMMENT.
UM, SINCE HE'S GONE, IS THERE STILL ACTIVITY THERE IN IT'S CRIMINAL? THE BOARDS ARE STILL AT THE LO UM, STILL BOARDED UP.
THE HOUSE IS STILL BOARDED UP.
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ACTIVITY, BUT THERE IS STILL HOMELESS THAT WOULD ACTUALLY WALK UP TO THE HOUSE, BUT THEY WERE TURNED AWAY.
UH, SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS HAVE MY PERSONAL CITY PHONE LINE AND SAY, HEY, SOMEBODY WALK UP TO THE HOUSE.
UM, THERE WAS AN OCCASION, I GUESS WHEN WE DARTED THE HOUSE AND AN INDIVIDUAL ACTUALLY WENT TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE HOUSE.
I GUESS THEY GRABBED THEIR PROPERTY.
BUT AS FAR AS ENTERING LOCATION, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY, UM, EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT SOMEONE ACTUALLY WENT BACK INSIDE.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? OKAY, WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SEE, THAT WASN'T HARD AT ALL, WAS IT? VERY DIFFICULT.
OH, DO WE HAVE A MOTION? MOTION

UPON ARRIVAL, THE, UH, THE OFFICER FOUND THAT THE RESIDENT WAS OCCUPIED AND IT DIDN'T HAVE WATER OR ELECTRICITY.
UH, SHE TOOK PHOTOS OF THE VIOLATION, UH, POSTED THE NOTICE YOU SEE HERE FOR BOTH VIOLATIONS.

UH, WE ALSO SENT A COPY OF THAT NOTICE TO THE LISTED OWNER, UH, BY FIRST CLASS MAIL ON DECEMBER 13TH.
THE OFFICER CONDUCTED A FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION, FOUND IT REMAINED, UH, NOT CONNECTED TO EITHER ELECTRICAL OR WATER.
WE DID TRY TO CONTACT THE OWNER AND WE WEREN'T ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ANYBODY AT THAT.
AT, AT THOSE UH, TIMES ON THE 15TH OF JANUARY, THE OFFICER CONDUCTED INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY, FOUND IT REMAINED IN VIOLATION AND OCCUPIED ON JANUARY 16TH.

SHE TOLD US SHE WAS POSTING THIS VACATE ORDER.
UM, THEY RAN BACK INTO THE HOUSE AND SLAMMED THE DOOR.
SHE KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AGAIN, THEY WOULDN'T COME TO THE DOOR.
UH, WE HAVE HAD PREVIOUS VIOLATION FOR THE SAME THING FOR THE NO WATER.
UH, AND WE ISSUED A ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING CITATION FOR THAT.
THE COURT DATE ON THAT WAS SEPTEMBER 16TH OF, OF 2019.
UH, THE OWNERS DID NOT APPEAR.
IT WAS, UH, JUDGED LIABLE BY DEFAULT, AND THEY WERE ASSESSED A $300 FINE STAFF IS REQUESTING THE OWNER VACATE THE PROPERTY INTO THE ELECTRIC AND WATER SERVICES ARE BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE WITH SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY, MY PRESENTATION.
SO, UM, YOU'RE TELLING US THE HISTORY AT, AT THE FIRST ATTEMPT IN 19 WHEN YOU ALL TRIED TO, UH, POST A NOTICE FOR THE WATER.
WAS THE WATER CONNECTED AT ANY TIME DURING, SO THEY HAVEN'T HAD WATER SINCE THAT TIME? YES, MA'AM.
I GUESS MY QUE MY NEXT QUESTION IS, UM, I, I KNOW THE HOUSE LOOKS KIND OF CUTE AND CHARMING, BUT YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVEN'T CONNECTED WATER OR ELECTRICITY, UM, WHY IS IT A SS A M P C CASE? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET THESE PEOPLE'S ATTENTION.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE TRIED EVERYTHING AND I MEAN, EVEN, EVEN DEMOLITION DOESN'T WORK SOMETIMES.
WELL, WHAT WE DID, MA'AM, WAS WE, WE STARTED WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION TO SEE IF WE COULD GET THEIR ATTENTION WITH A $300 FINE.
UM, WHEN THEY DIDN'T APPEAR FOR THAT, WE COULD'VE WENT TO THE 500 AND A THOUSAND DOLLARS FINE ON THAT, BUT I DETERMINED BECAUSE IT WAS A HEALTH ISSUE THAT WE SHOULD BRING IT TO THE BOARD AND GET AN ORDER IN AND AN ORDER TO VACATE THAT WE CAN ENFORCE.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? YES, MA'AM.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CONVERSATION WITH PROPERTY OWNERS? I HAVEN'T, NO, SIR.

WE, WE TRY TO GET TO THE, THE OWNER'S ATTENTION.
WE'VE SENT NOTICES OUT TO 'EM.
WE'VE HAD 'EM TO APPEAR, TRIED TO GET 'EM TO APPEAR IN COURT.
AND THIS IS KIND OF OUR NEXT STEP.
UM, WE POSTED OUR ORDER TO VACATE, UM, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO GET A, A ORDER TO VACATE FROM THE BOARD SO THAT WE CAN EITHER, YOU KNOW, HAVE THEM VACATE BECAUSE IT IS A HEALTH ISSUE, UM, OR MAYBE GET THEM TO COMPLY.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.
DO WE HAVE A MOTION? A MOTION? I DECLARE ANDRES THAT THE MAIN STRUCTURE AT 1 7 1 5 DAWSON STREET BE IN SUBSTANDARD AND IN VIOLATION OF CITY, UH, SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY CODE SPECIFICALLY 5 0 5 0.16 FOR ELECTRICAL AND WATER NEEDS TO BE RESTORED AND AN ORDER OF VACATE IMMEDIATELY UNTIL THE WATER AND ELECTRIC ARE RESTORED.
FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION.
THE VACATE SHOULD INCLUDE STAY VACANT IN THIS CASE BECAUSE, UH, THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT GOING TO RECONNECT UNLESS WE INCLUDE THE STAY VACANT UNTIL RESTORED AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.
UM, WE HAVE AN ORDER FOR 5 0 5 1, UH, AND 6 0 4 1, UH, FOR VACATE AND, UH, TO RECONNECT THE WATER AND THE ELECTRIC.
UH, DO YOU WANNA, I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE ASKED, SHOULD DO YOU WANNA PUT A TIMEFRAME ON THAT? EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, UM, FOR WATER AND ELECTRIC AND STAY VA STAY VACANT AND TELL THE WATER AND THE ELECTRICITY ARE RESTORED.
LET, LET ME CLARIFY IMMEDIATELY, COUNSEL, IS THERE A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF DAYS IMMEDIATELY COVERS, OR IS IT LIKE, AS SOON AS WE GIVE THE ORDER BEFORE IT'S EVEN SIGNED, THIS BOARD WISHES TO, TO, UH, TO REQUIRE AN IMMEDIATE VACATE ORDER? THEY CAN, HOWEVER, IT'S ALWAYS SUBJECT TO A 30 DAY, UM, UH, APPEAL PERIOD.
UM, FROM THE DATE THAT THE ORDER IS SIGNED, EVEN IF IT WAS PRESENTED AS A HEALTH HAZARD, YES, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER THE LAW TO, TO, TO, TO APPEAL, UH, ANY ORDER THAT THIS BOARD GIVES.
SO IT WOULD BE WITHIN THE 30 DAYS.
[00:35:01]
OKAY.YOU WANNA RESTATE IT AGAIN SO WE CAN MAKE SURE, BUT THE LANGUAGE CAN STILL SAY IMMEDIATELY VACATE.
THIS BOARD HAS DONE IT BEFORE AND WE, WE USUALLY DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT.
HOWEVER, IF THIS BOARD WISHES TO, UM, ASK FOR HAVE THEM REMOVED WITHIN 30 DAYS, THEY CAN DO THAT.
I DO NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU, YOU ALWAYS KNOW THAT IT'S ALWAYS GONNA BE SUBJECT TO SOME TYPE OF APPEAL PROCESS.

THE OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESA PRESERVATION HAS CONFIRMED ON JUNE 8TH, 2019.
THE PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
THE FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF EVENTS REGARDING THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS.
THE FIRST INSPECTION REGARDING 9 0 2 SADDLEBROOK DRIVE WAS CONDUCTED ON DECEMBER 10TH, 2018.

THIS IS THE FRONT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS, THIS AREA IS THE GARAGE ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION, RIGHT FRONT ELEVATION.
THIS IS WHERE THE FIRE DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED.
DAMAGE TO THE RAFTERS, THE RIDGE BOARD, THE, THE SHEATHING, UM, THE TIRE, THE RIGHT ROOF SYSTEM HAS BEEN DAMAGED AND CONSUMED BY THE FIRE.
THIS IS THE RIGHT ELEVATION SHOWING THAT THE WOOD SIDING, WOOD PANEL SIDING HAS BEEN, UM, CONSUMED AS WELL.
THE TOP PORTION OF IT AS WELL AS THE OVERHANG.
UH, THERE IS SOME HOLES IN THE SIDING AS WELL ON DETERIORATION ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DETERIORATION AGAIN ALONG THE BOTTOM.
AND THEN SHOWING WHERE THE FIRE HAD CAME OUT FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, SHOWING THE DAMAGE THAT IT'S OCCURRED TO THE OVERHANG AND THE SIDING AS WELL.
THE WOOD SIDING, WOOD PANEL OF SIDING GOING TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE ELEVATION.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE ROOF SYSTEM'S STILL DAMAGED AND IT THE, AND IT CONTINUED TO MOVE TOWARDS THE RIGHT, THE LEFT ELEVATION SHOWING WHERE THE ROOF IS STARTING TO, UM, STARTING TO SAAG IN BETWEEN THE RAFTERS THAT ARE STILL, THAT STILL REMAINED.
AND A BETTER PICTURE OF THE REAR ELEVATION SHOWING WHERE, WHERE MOST OF THE FIRE HAD OCCURRED, WHICH IS ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
SORRY, GOING INSIDE FROM THE GARAGE DOOR, JUST SHOWING
[00:55:01]
THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS THAT STILL REMAINS IN THE SIDE.THEN HERE YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE AND CHARRING OF THE RAFTERS AND THE, THE DECKING WAS AS WELL AS THE TRUSSES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE FIRE GOING INTO THE KITCHEN.
JUST THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS SOAKED DUE TO THE ELEMENTS GETTING INSIDE.
AND HERE'S A BETTER PICTURE OF THE DECKING, THE TRUSSES AND THE, THE RAPTORS THAT ARE CHARRED AND ALSO CON, UH, CONSISTS OF SMOKE DAMAGE AS WELL, UH, GOING TOWARDS THE LIVING ROOM WHERE MOST OF THE FIRE HAD OCCURRED.
THIS IS, THIS IS JUST SHOWING THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS THAT REMAINS, UH, HERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, THE TRUSS IS RAFTERS, DECKING, FIRE DAMAGE, AND THEN SHOWING THE, THE LARGE HOLE, THE ROOF SYSTEM MOVING ON THROUGH THE HALLWAY, GOING TO THE BEDROOMS. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEDROOMS WITH THE SHEET ROCK ON THE FLOOR.
VEGETATION GROWING AND AS SHOWING THE ROOF SYSTEM, UH, FEELING JOISTS, RAFTERS, TRUSSES OR DAMAGE DUE TO THE FIRE GOING INTO THE NEXT BEDROOM.
AND AGAIN, THE ROOF SYSTEM SHOWING THE, THE LARGE HOLE, THE BATHROOM AS WELL AS AGAIN THE FIRE TAKEN, UM, WITH THE CHARRING AND THE, THE RAPTORS GONE.
THE PHOTO PRESENTATION CONSISTS OF A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE BUILT IN 1977 THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT FIRE DAMAGE TO THE ROOF.
SYS ROOF COVERING SHEETING RIDGE, BOARD RAFTER AND TRUSSES.
FIRE WAS CAUSED BY FIRE, HAS CAUSED A LARGE HOLE IN THE ROOF SYSTEM EXPOSING THE STRUCTURES INTERIOR TO THE ELEMENTS.
EXTERIOR WOOD PANELS SUSTAINED FIRE AND SMOKE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT ELEVATIONS.
INTERIOR STUDS, CEILING JOISTS AND SHEET ROCK HAS ALSO SUFFERED CHARRING AND SMOKE DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE.
THE RECAP, THE STRUCTURE WAS LOCATED, THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 9 0 2 SADDLE SADDLEBROOK DRIVE IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1 2 4 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, AND 17 FOR THE MAIN IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS HEREIN ARE AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.
PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OR DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN HABITATION POSE A THREAT TO POTENTIAL POSE, A THREAT OR POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 9 0 2 SADDLEBROOK DRIVE.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? I'VE GOT ONE THAT MAY, UM, I'M GONNA DIRECT THIS ONE TO STAFF 'CAUSE WE GO THROUGH THIS A LOT.
IF YOU LOOK AT SLIDE SEVEN, THAT SHOWS MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS OF THE ROOF DAMAGED.
AND THEN, UH, SLIDE 14 SHOWS COMPROMISE TRUST STRUCTURE.
WHY WAS THIS NOT PUT AS A EMERGENCY DEMO MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS OF THE ROOF DAMAGED, WHICH MEANS THERE'S A POTENTIAL OF COLLAPSING.
WHY WAS IT NOT PUT AS AN EMERGENCY DEMO AT, AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE? UM, WE DID HAVE A OFFICIAL FOR THE BUILDING INSPECTORS TO MAKE AN INSPECTION.
AND AT THE TIME THEY DID DEEM IT NOT TO BE AN EMERGENCY THAT WE GO THROUGH EVERY TIME.
BUT THIS IS WORSE THAN SOME OF THE ONES THAT WERE EMERGENCY DEMOS THAT YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS TORE DOWN.
THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT, I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ABILITY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE BUILDING ITSELF, UH, THE ONLY WAY TO GET THERE IS THROUGH THE ROOF.
AND THAT WOULD BE JUSTIFIABLE REASONS NOT TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY DIS UH, DEMOLITION.
UH, AND IN FACT, IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THE PICTURES, YOU'LL SEE THAT MOST OF THE FIRE DAMAGE OCCURRED IN THE ATTIC AND IN THE ROOF'S STRUCTURE ITSELF.
OH NO, I I, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO STAND HERE SINCE DECEMBER THE NINTH WHEN THE FIRE OCCURRED.
AND I THINK THE CITY SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONSISTENT IN THEIR EMERGENCY DEMOS.
IF, IF I MAY, UM, NORMALLY WHAT HAPPENS IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS IS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
[01:00:01]
WILL GIVE US A CALL IF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOEST DEEM IT NECESSARY, THEN UH, WE WILL GET AN EMAIL THE NEXT DAY TO GO AHEAD AND START OUR NORMAL PROCESS ON IT.IF WE DO GET A CALL OUT, OUR BUILDING OFFICIALS WILL GO OUT, THEY'LL MAKE THE ASSESSMENT ALONG WITH OUR, UM, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICERS AND THEY'LL START THE PAPERWORK.
SO THERE ARE MANY PROCESSES IN THIS.
IF WE DIDN'T GET A CALL FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THEN IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN, UH, AN EMERGENCY DEMO.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR, LIKE I SAID, OUR DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICERS AND BUILDING OFFICIALS MAKE THAT CALL.
AND IN THIS INSTANCE, THEY DIDN'T DEEM IT TO HIT THAT LEVEL.
THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES IN WHICH THEY, UH, THEY COULD DO IT, BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
BUT WE WILL SPEAK AND, UH, REVIEW OUR POLICIES.
YEAH, I, I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO, TO SUGGEST THAT MAYBE SOME OF THE POLICIES ARE OLD OR OUTDATED AND MAYBE THEY NEED TO BE REFRESHED.
OF COURSE THE CITY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANNA DO, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CASES AND WE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING, IT, THERE'S A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES INVOLVED IN THE, THE PRESENTATIONS, YOU KNOW, OF THE STRUCTURES AND UM, I THINK IT SHOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONSISTENT ACROSS THE BOARD.
I PERSONALLY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS STRUCTURE AT ALL.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE STRUCTURE IN TERMS OF ITS INTEGRITY, THE ONLY THING THAT HAS AN INTEGRITY ISSUE IS THE ROOF.
THE FOUNDATION IS SOLID, THE WALLS ARE SOLID, THE FLOORS ARE SOLID.
UH, SO IN ESSENCE YOU'VE GOT AN ISSUE OF THE ROOF ONLY.
AND AS I SAID, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HAVE THE ACCESS TO ENTER THE BUILDING, WHICH IT APPEARS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS OTHER THAN THROUGH THE ROOF STRUCTURE, UH, THERE'S NO REASON TO CONSIDER THIS AS SOMETHING THAT'S DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE NO ONE CAN GET IN.
AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE FACTORS THAT THEY DO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN DISCUSSING AN EMERGENCY DEMO.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SO THIS HAS SAT HERE LIKE THIS FOR OVER A YEAR.
WHY DID IT TAKE SO LONG TO BRING IT BEFORE US? AND IT WAS APPLIED ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR ALMOST FOR OVER A YEAR.
THIS CASE WAS STARTED WITH A PREVIOUS OFFICER AND IT GOT BACKLOGGED.
UM, WHEN I TOOK THE CASE OVER IN MAY, I WENT, MOVED FORWARD WITH THE CASE AND PROCEEDED WITH THE B S B PROCESS.
SO FROM MAY UNTIL NOW, IT'S TAKEN THAT LONG TO GET IT TO THIS POINT.
'CAUSE WHEN I TOOK THE CASE OVER AT THE START FROM THE BEGINNING TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS SUBMITTED, EVERY, ALL THE SORT THE MAIL, UH, CERTIFIED MAIL WAS SENT OUT, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ALL OUR BASES COVERED AS WELL.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR SOMETHING TO SIT LIKE THIS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE NEIGHBORS TO HAVE TO, TO DEAL WITH THIS.
YES, I'VE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL NEIGHBORS AND I'VE MADE MYSELF VERY KNOWN IN THE AREA.
SO EVERY TIME I SPOKE WITH THEM, THEY WERE JUST HAPPY TO KNOW THAT WE WERE WORKING THIS CASE AND BOARD.
PLEASE KNOW THAT, THAT I ISSUE IN TERMS OF, UH, IS THE OWNER ALIVE OR NOT ALIVE BECAUSE THERE'S A STATE ISSUE THAT'S CONTENDED IN THIS CASE.
SO THAT'S PART OF YOUR REASON FOR EXTENDED, UH, TIME PERIOD.
ALSO, WE HAVE PLENTY OF BUILDINGS.
WE'VE TORN DOWN WITHIN FOUR MONTHS OF WHEN THE CASE STARTED AND NOT 12 OR 13 MONTHS WHEN IT SITS LIKE THIS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, I JUST THINK THIS IS TERRIBLE AND WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.
UM, I CONFIRMED THAT THIS CASE WAS SET FOR NOVEMBER 14TH, BUT WE, WE HAD, WE HAD A LACK OF QUORUM SO WE HAD TO PUSH IT BACK.
ALRIGHT, SO, UH, IS THERE ANY, ANY, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEY, DO WE HAVE A MOTION, MAYBE A NEWBIE AGAIN? SO I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY AT 9 0 2 SADDLEBROOK AS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE A CHAPTER 6 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17.
UH, AND FOR THE REASON STATED BY THE CODE OFFICER, THE PROPERTY IS NOT FEASIBLE OF BEING REPAIRED AND ORDER THE PROPERTY BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
WE HAVE A 30 DAY DEMO ORDER FOR, UH, SADDLEBROOK, UH, FOR 9 0 2 SADDLEBROOK FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17.
UH, IS THERE, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? WE HAVE A SECOND.
AND UM, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION SINCE WE'VE ALREADY HAD THE DISCUSSION? NO.
ALL OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT.
YOU CAN DO THE NEXT ONE, ROBERT.
YOU CAN DO THE NEXT ONE IF YOU LIKE.

UM, THIS STRUCTURE WAS BUILT IN 1940 WITH ALL THE COVERED, UH, AREAS, WHICH I MEAN AS FAR AS PORCH AND BACK PORCH AREA, IT'S A LITTLE BIT UNDER 2,500 SQUARE FEET.
AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE FRONT, UM, THIS STRUCTURE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS TURNED INTO A DUPLEX.
UM, MY FIRST TWO ENTRANCE TO THIS STRUCTURE ARE FROM THIS ENTRYWAY RIGHT HERE.
AND THERE'S ANOTHER MEANS OF A DOOR RIGHT HERE IN THIS AREA.
BUT FROM THIS AREA, FROM THE FRONT OF THE STRUCTURE, YOU CAN SEE AN OVERHANG THAT'S ALREADY STARTING TO LEAN IN THIS AREA.

UH, WHEN I SPOKE ABOUT THAT OTHER ENTRANCE INTO THE STRUCTURE, IT'S FROM THIS DOOR RIGHT HERE.
UM, THIS STRUCTURE DOES HAVE TWO WATER HEATERS LOCATED IN THE REAR.
IT'S GOT ONE METER, SO IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS KIND OF TURNED INTO A DUPLEX, BUT USING IT OFF OF ONE MAIN METER FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICES.

THIS VALLEY WATER IS ENTERED INSIDE THE STRUCTURE FROM ONE OF MY STRUCTURES RIGHT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE WATER DAMAGE THAT IS OCCURRING, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, UM, RIGHT FROM HERE FROM THIS AREA.
AND IF I GO BACK TO THE OTHER PHOTOS, IT WASN'T UNTIL JUST RECENTLY THAT I HAD PROBLEMS WITH VAGRANTS ENTERING THE STRUCTURE ABATEMENT.
HISTORY WAS SHOW ME SINCE 2014, THE CITY HAS BEEN ABATING THIS PROPERTY.
UM, I DID GIVE, RECEIVE A CONTACT FROM AN INDIVIDUAL, BUT IT WAS KIND OF SUSPICIOUS.
HE WAS STATING HE WAS THE NEPHEW OF THE OWNER AND THAT HE WANTED TO GAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE STRUCTURE.
I TRIED TO GIVE SOME MORE INFORMATION.
HE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS IN A NURSING HOME AT THE TIME AND, UH, HE HAD STATED THAT HE WANTED TO GET INSIDE TO GET SOME ITEMS AND I TOLD HIM, WELL IF YOU COULD MEET ME THERE AND UH, WE'LL GET A SAFE OFFICER IN THE AREA.
UH, BUT HE JUST HUNG UP ON ME AND WE NEVER HAD CONTACT AGAIN.
SO IT WAS JUST KIND OF SUSPICIOUS.
AND LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, IT WASN'T JUST TILL RECENTLY THAT I HAD, UH, DIFFERENT SITUATIONS WITH MORE WINDOWS AND DOORS BEING UNSECURED.
THEY SAID THEY STARTED SEEING A LOT OF THINGS, YOU KNOW, LATELY, AND THEY'VE
[01:10:01]
REACHED OUT TO SS A P D AS WELL.BUT FROM THE REAR VIEW, ONE OF THE ATTACHED COVERS THAT I MENTIONED IS IN THE BACK.

THIS IS ACTUALLY DECKING RIGHT HERE IN THIS AREA.
THERE SYSTEMS ARE DETERIORATED.
THERE'S TWO STAIR SYSTEMS IN THE REAR, BUT THIS PHOTO ALSO REVERES SOME SKIRTING THAT'S MISSING ALONG LEFT SIDE TOWARD THE REAR AND A WATER HEATER THAT IT'S A FOUNDATION THAT'S SITTING ON IS ALREADY COLLAPSING AS WE MOVE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.

UM, THIS IS ANOTHER EXTERIOR DOOR THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY TYPE OF, UH, STAIR SYSTEM.
BUT MY NEXT PHOTO IS REVEAL THE DETACHING SKIRTING IN THIS AREA AND THE, UH, ROOF SYSTEM THAT'S MISSING HERE.
SOME OF THE SKIRTING THAT'S DETACHING LARGE HOLE IN THE OVERHANG INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE FROM THE, UH, FIRST DOOR TO THE LEFT OF THE STRUCTURE.
UH, IT'S JUST A LOT OF ACCUMULATION OF TRASH AND DEBRIS.
UH, WE CAN, I KNOW IT'S KIND OF DARK HERE IN THIS AREA, BUT ALL SHEET ROCK HAS, HAS FALLEN DOWN.
IT'S ACTUALLY LAYING ON THE GROUND, THIS AREA, THERE'S A ROOM TO THE RIGHT SIDE IN THIS AREA, AND IT WAS JUST A BED.
IT'S JUST A MATTRESS THAT'S IN THERE.

THIS KITCHEN AREA IS ANOTHER MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS THROWN EVERYWHERE.

I HAD TO GO IN THERE WITH A FLASHLIGHT.
BUT HERE'S ANOTHER ROOM THAT LEADS TO THIS AREA OPENING THAT LEADS TO THIS AREA.
THIS ROOM LEADS TO A ROOM THAT'S LOCATED, UH, HAS A HALLWAY IN THE CENTER, WHICH KIND OF SEPARATES BOTH STRUCTURES AS IF IT WAS USED FOR A DUPLEX.
UM, NEXT PHO, SOME OF MY NEXT PHOTOS THAT I'LL SHOW YOU, KIND OF GIVE THE, UH, UNDERSTANDING WHERE THIS ROOM LEADS TO, BUT IN THAT ROOM IT HAS SHEET ROCK THAT IS ALSO DETACHING.

YOU CAN SEE SOME DAMAGES OCCURRING TO THE DECKING.
I KNOW I KIND OF SKIPPED A PHOTO RIGHT HERE, BUT GOING BACK TOWARD IT, THERE'S A LONG HALLWAY.
I DID MENTION IN THAT ONE ROOM WHERE YOU COULD SEE THAT HALLWAY.
THIS ONE DOOR RIGHT HERE IN THIS LEADS TO THE NEXT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THIS AREA IS FILLED WITH A HUGE AMOUNT OF, UH, TRASH AND DEBRIS.
AND ALONG THE BACK, AS WE DID MAKE THE WAY TO THE BACK, THERE'S ANOTHER ROOM LOCATED IN THE REAR.
I ACTUALLY SEE SOME HOLES IN THE SHEET ROCK ABOVE.
THERE'S ONE ROOM IN THE REAR WHERE THIS DOOR RIGHT HERE, THIS, AS FAR AS THIS DOOR OPENS, UH, MY NEXT PHOTO REVEALED THE, THE AMOUNT OF ACCUMULATION OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS THAT'S BILLED UP.
UH, MY NEXT PHOTO IS TAKEN ABOVE THE DOOR.

THIS IS A SINGLE STORY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE LEFT IN NEGLECTED CONDITION.
PROPERTY IS BEGINNING TO BE A HARBAGE FOR VAGRANT HANGING AROUND OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
THE EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE HAS A ROOF SYSTEM THAT IS FAILING.
SHINGLES ARE MISSING AND COVERED IN AND COVER IN REAR HAS COLLAPSED.
INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE HAS DAMAGED SHEET ROCK DUE TO A FALLING ROOF JUST DUE TO A FAILING ROOF SYSTEM, ALONG WITH NO MEANS OF EGRESS DUE TO ALL TRASH AND DEBRIS LOCATED INSIDE THE INTERIOR.
THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 27 34 HICKS AVENUE IS IN VIOLATION
[01:15:01]
OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56 SUBSECTIONS 1 2 5 7 8 11, 12, 17, AND 18, IN WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL THE CONDITION OR DEFECTS HEREIN AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING OR A HAZARD OF PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELL AND WELFARE.PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS OF DEFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFITNESS FOR HUMAN INHABITATION POSE A THREAT OR A POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY, OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS DEMOLITION.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 27 34 HICKS.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? YES.
SO YOU SAID THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME ACTIVITY WITHIN THE STRUCTURE LATELY? THAT IS CORRECT, MA'AM.
AND IT'S WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF THE SCHOOL, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.
THAT'S ACT, HAVE HAVE THERE BEEN ANY MEANS TO ACTUALLY SECURE IT AT ALL? YES.
UH, AND I DIDN'T, I FAILED TO MENTION THAT ACTUALLY WE DO HAVE AN ACTION IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW THAT'S JUST WAITING TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO A CITY CONTRACTOR FOR ANOTHER ABATEMENT.
FOR ANOTHER ABATEMENT, AND THAT'S FOR SECURING OF THREE WINDOWS AND TWO DOORS AT A TIME FOR WHEN IT WILL BE COMPLETED OR IT'S BEEN SUBMITTED.
I'M HOPING THAT IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS BY NEXT WEEK.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER? HEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I THINK ROBERT WANTS TO DO A MOTION.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY AT 27 34 HICKS AVENUE IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AS DEFINED BY ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX DASH 1 56.
SUBSECTIONS 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 17, AND 18.

[BSB Guidelines, Policies, and Procedures]
WE HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE, UM, DUTIES RIGHT NOW.OH, ERIC, MY, MY QUESTION FROM WHAT, A WEEK AGO OR TWO WEEKS AGO ABOUT, UH, THE, UM, THE THREE MONTH PERIOD FOR THE, FOR THE NEW NEWBIES.
DID Y'ALL GET A CHANCE TO ALL THAT AROUND? WE DID.
UM, WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN ENCOURAGE, BUT WE CAN'T REQUIRE, UM, AND, UM, SELECTING THE BO AND SELECTING MEMBERS FOR THE BOARD, THEY WERE TOLD WHAT THEIR OBLIGATIONS WOULD BE WHEN WE WOULD NEED THEM TO BE HERE.
ADDING ADDITIONAL TIMES IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NECESSARILY LIKE TO DO.
SO WE WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME TO, UM, OTHER MEETINGS, BUT WE'RE NOT, WE, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE GONNA REQUIRE THEM TO DO.
UM, I BELIEVE THERE MIGHT'VE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE IN REGARDS TO, UH, THE MOTIONS.
DID DID ANYONE HAVE A CONCERN OR QUESTION IN REGARDS TO THE, TO THE MOTIONS THAT WE DO? OH, I'M SORRY.
UM, AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IT WAS JUST, UH, A MATTER OF HOW WE, UM, DEFINE THE MOTION AUDIBLY AND, AND IN WRITING, UH, FIRST OF ALL, ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT AS OPPOSED TO NUMERICAL EIGHT.
AND THEN, UM, IF WE USE THE TERM PUBLIC NUISANCE FROM THE CODE, THAT'S IN REFERENCE TO CHAPTER SIX, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57.
SO FIRST AND FOREMOST, NO MEANS DID ANYONE, NO ONE THINKS THAT, UM, YOU'RE NOT DOING WITH, WITH, WITH RESPECT.
SO, UM, I APPRECIATE THAT STATEMENT, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW NO ONE THINKS THAT YOU WEREN'T DOING IT WITHOUT RESPECT ON THAT.
UM, IN REGARDS TO ARTICLE EIGHT OR ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT, UM, IN DRAFTING THE MOTION, IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR SOMEONE TO SAY ARTICLE EIGHT.
IT, IT'S, UH, I GUESS IT'S A TERM OF ART, HOWEVER YOU WANT TO SAY IT.
IF YOU WANT TO SAY ART ARTICLE ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT, YOU CAN, I CAN TELL YOU WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, THE MUNICIPAL CODE, IF I'M REFERRING TO ARTICLE EIGHT, UM, IN
[01:20:01]
LEGALESE, IT'S, IT'S THE SAME THING.UM, SO I THINK THE, THE NUMBER EIGHT AS COMPARED TO THE ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT, UM, I, I I, I DON'T KNOW IF WE MEANT TO DO THAT TO, UH, CONFUSE ANYBODY.
IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE MUNICIPAL CODE, IT'S, IT IS ACTUALLY ARTICLE.
IT DOES HAVE THE ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT BUILDING STANDARD BOARD.
SO WHEN WE SAY ARTICLE EIGHT, WE ARE REFERENCING ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT IN REGARDS TO, UM, SECTION SIX OR CHAPTER 6, 1 56.
UM, LET ME GET TO WHERE I, UH, WE COULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION POSSIBLY CHANGING THE WORDING ON THAT OR ADDING 1 57.
'CAUSE ONE 50, UH, 1 57, UH, DOES SAY THE DECLARATION OF A NUISANCE.
UM, SO I HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN TO SAVITA, ALTHOUGH THAT ONE, UH, SECTION 6 1 57 DOES REFERENCE ONE SECTION 6 1 56.
UH, SO WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND SEE IF, UM, UH, SEE IF A CHANGE OR MODIFICATION NEEDS TO BE MADE IN REGARDS TO THE MOTION.
UM, BUT IT IS CHAPTER, IT IS 6 1 56 THAT ALLOWS THIS BOARD TO DO WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO.
UM, BUT I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
HOWEVER, I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WERE ASKING.
I'LL TALK TO SAVITA ABOUT IT, SEE IF SHE WANTS TO, UM, UH, TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION, UM, IN MAKING SOME TYPE OF, UH, MODIFICATION TO THE MOTION.
SORRY FOR ALL THAT'S NOT ON RECORD.
SO, UH, CHAPTER EIGHT OR ARTICLE EIGHT RATHER ACTUALLY TAKES OVER THE ISSUE OF, UH, THE, UH, SUBSECTIONS 1 57.
SO IN A SENSE, YOU ARE COVERING IT BY SIMPLY STATING, UH, ARTICLE EIGHT.
BUT IF YOU WANTED TO BE REAL SPECIFIC, YOU COULD SAY ARTICLE EIGHT.
IT'S, IT'S AGAIN, UM, BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD IS UNDER ARTICLE EIGHT, UM, OF CHAPTER SIX, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T, I DO UNDERSTAND THAT IT SAYS SECTION SIX DASH 1 56.
WE ARE STILL UNDER CHAPTER SIX, WHICH IS BUILDINGS OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE.
CAN WE, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OUR BOARD IS GETTING SO INTELLIGENT.
I, I WILL HAVE TO SAY I'M, I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT WE NOW HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF MEMBERS AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.
I THINK OUR BOARD IS, IS GETTING I'M, I'M EXCITED, SO I'M EXCITED.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MY THURSDAYS YES.
I I, WHETHER YOU GUYS BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I LOOK FORWARD TO MY TUESDAYS, MY THURSDAYS, FRIDAYS, WEDNESDAYS.
ACTUALLY, I, I, I LOVE MY JOB, SO I'M PRETTY GOOD.
AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO COME TO EITHER PANEL, I MEAN TO BOTH PANEL A AND B, SO THAT YOU CAN GET A VARIETY OF THE, THE CASES AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.
AND YOU ACQUIRE EXPERIENCE IN THE MEANWHILE.
OH, SOMEBODY WANTS TO GO TO LUNCH.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE GO
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR COMING.
