WE FOUND A BROKEN SEWER LEAK ON THE PROPERTY.
YOU CAN SEE BY THE CURB, UM, THERE IS A HOLE.
UM, THE TENANTS WERE TRYING TO MAKE REPAIRS TO THE BROKEN SEWER LINE.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE NOTICE POSTED.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE HOLE NEXT TO THE RIGHT OF WAY WHERE YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE BROKEN, UH, OR THE EXPOSED PIPE.

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER RE-INSPECTION PHOTO.
THE PROPERTY IS, UH, TENANT OCCUPIED.
IT IS OCCUPIED BY THE OWNER BROTHER WHO RECENTLY I MADE CONTACT WITH ON NOVEMBER 3RD.
UH, HE WASN'T AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS OF THE STRUCTURE.
HE, UH, DID REQUEST AN EXTENSION, UM, IN TRYING TO GET HIS BROTHER RELOCATED FROM THE PROPERTY.
UH, HE DID HAVE A, AN EMERGENCY THIS MORNING AND WASN'T ABLE TO ATTEND THE HEARING, AND THAT'S JUST PICTURES OF HIM MAKING EFFORTS TO CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY.
THERE'S BEEN 11 CALLS FOR SERVICE AS OF AUGUST, 2018 CONSISTING OF OVERGROWN VEGETATION, OUTDOOR PLACEMENT, AND, UH, JUNK VEHICLES.
STAFF RECOMMENDS FOR THE SEWER LEAK TO BE REPAIRED.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 2 10 10 STREET.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? MR. NIELSEN? THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
[00:15:01]
UM, OFFICER, WERE THERE PERMITS PULLED TO EVEN RUN A SEWER LINE? NO, MA'AM.SO A STOP WORK ORDER WAS NEVER ISSUED? NO A STOP.
WE DIDN'T ISSUE A STOP WORK ORDER BECAUSE WHEN WE MADE THE INITIAL INSPECTION, THERE WAS NO WORK BEING DONE.
HE HAD, UH, DID TRIED TO DO THE REPAIRS PRIOR, UH, WHEN WE DID MAKE THE INSPECTION AND SINCE THEN, HE HAS NOT MADE ANY EFFORT TO REPAIR IT.
SO ALL WORK HAS BEEN STOPPED AS OF THE INITIAL INSPECTION DATE.
NOW, WAS THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS RAW SEWAGE ABOVE GROUND? WE DIDN'T NOTIFY HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
WE DID MAKE CONTACT WITH FALLS AND PUT IN A REQUEST, UH, FOR THEM.
AND IT'S STILL OPEN? YES, IT'S STILL OPEN.
AND WE DID, UH, PROVIDE LIEUTENANT, UH, A COMMUNITY REFERRAL GUIDE AND PLUMBERS FOR PEOPLE IN EFFORTS TO TRY TO, UM, ASSIST HIM IN GETTING, UH, ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIRS.

UM, AS STATED BY THE OFFICER, HE IS REQUESTING A TWO WEEK EXTENSION.
THE PROPERTY OWNER IS REQUESTING THE EXTENSION, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT IS CORRECT.
UH, CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE A MOTION ON THIS PROPERTY? MS. GIL? HERE.
SO I FIND THE BUILDING TO BE IN VIOLATION.
UH, BILL, UH, UH, TWO 10 CANVAN STREET TO BE IN SUB WELL, TO BE IN VIOLATION OF SAN ANTONIO PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AND FIND THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED, UH, BE AN ORDER THAT TWO 10 CANAVAN BE REPAIRED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
THAT WAS A MOTION TO, UH, REPAIR THE PROPERTY AS A RESULT OF VIOLATION OF 5 0 6 0.1.
SO THE MOTION IS, UH, TO REPAIR THE PROPERTY.
DID YOU GIMME A TIME FACTOR TO REPAIR 30 DAYS? YES, 30 DAYS.
SO WE HAVE A 30 DAY REPAIR ORDER, UH, FOR TWO 10 CANON.
THAT'S A RESULT OF VIOLATION OF 5 0 6 0.1.
UH, DO I HEAR A SECOND OF THE MOTION? THIS IS JOSHUA POWELL.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? UH, FRIENDLY AMENDMENT? GO RIGHT AHEAD, MS. STRANDIS WITH AN IMMEDIATE VACATE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T RUN THAT PLACE LIKE THAT WITH RAW SEWAGE AND IT AFFECTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE PEOPLE LIVING THERE.
I'LL ACCEPT THAT THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT WAS ACCEPTED AS A ORDER TO VACATE BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH HAZARD ON THE PROPERTY.
ANY DISCUSSION IN, IN ADDITION TO THE, UM, THE SECURITY OF, OF COVERING UP THAT HOLE, THAT NEEDS TO BE IMMEDIATELY, UH, COVERED UP, PROTECTED, TAPED OFF? UH, DO WE HAVE SOME SORT OF PROVISION BY THE CODE OFFICER TO, TO TRY TO MAKE, UH, MAKE THAT A A LITTLE SAFER? YOU CAN MAKE IT SAFER BY MAKING IT ANOTHER AMENDMENT AND IT GOES INTO THE ORDER.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE COURT OFFICER CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT AN ORDER SAYING, SO THEY JUST CAN'T ARBITRARILY GO OUT THERE AND WROTE SOMETHING OFF.
WELL THEN AS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO, UH, TO INCLUDE, UM, THE, UM, COVERING OF THAT HOLE, TAPING IT OFF.
SO THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IS TO ACTUALLY FENCE THE HOLE AND OR FILL THE HOLE.
IS THAT A CORRECT FRIENDLY AMENDMENT? NO.
RIGHT NOW, JUST TO TAPE IT OFF AND FOR, FOR FUTURE, YOU KNOW, WORK.
[00:20:01]
OKAY.SO THAT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S UP NOTICEABLE.
THERE'S CONES OR SOMETHING TO PROTECT PE SOMEBODY FROM, FROM FALLING IN AND BREAKING THEIR LEG.
SO YOU'RE STILL BASICALLY SAYING FENCE IT.
MS. GILROY, WOULD YOU ACCEPT THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO FENCE THE, UH, HOLE THAT'S OPEN? IT'S VACATED.
WELL, UH, THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE AROUND IT.
NOT NECESSARILY THE PROPERTY OWNER PER SE.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY.
SO IT'S NOT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER, MS. DELRAY, IT'S FOR ANYONE ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT MIGHT BE WALKING AROUND, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHTTIME.
THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, DEFENSE, THE WHOLE OR FILL THE WHOLE IS ACCEPTED.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? I DID NOT HEAR A SECOND.

LOT 20 LOCATED IN COUNCIL DISTRICT THREE.
THE OWNER ON RECORD IS ARDO JUNIOR ORTIZ WITH THE MAILING ADDRESS OF 33 39 SCARLET O'HARA, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 2 3.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE INSPECTION, UH, TIMEFRAME.
THE FIRST INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED ON JUNE 23RD, UM, JUNE 23RD, 2020.
[00:25:01]
THIS PROPERTY IS A CORNER PROPERTY, SO IT IS, UM, THE MAIN ONE OF THE ENTRANCES, UH, TO THE SUBDIVISION.THIS IS A FRONT VIEW OF THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE SIDE VIEW AND YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE FENCE.
AGAIN, JUST ANOTHER, UH, CONTEXTUAL VIEW OF THE DAMAGED FENCE GOING INTO THE SUBDIVISION.
THIS IS THE NOTICE THAT WAS POSTED.
THIS IS, UH, A REINSPECTION PHOTO AND THE FENCE HAS REMAINED IN VIOLATION AT SINCE THE INITIAL INSPECTION OF JUNE 23RD, 2020.
THIS IS THE BACK VIEW FACING PRETA STREET.
THIS IS A CONTEXTUAL VIEW OF THE FRONT.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF THE HELPFUL NUMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY REFERRAL GUIDE THAT WAS POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR.
ANOTHER REINSPECTION PHOTO AND CONTACT WAS MADE WITH A JOSHUA GABO.
HE DID STATE THAT HE IS THE SON-IN-LAW TO THE OWNER, BUT HAS NEVER PROVIDED ANY, UH, CONTACT FROM THE ACTUAL OWNER.
SO NO CONTACT HAS BEEN MADE WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER LISTED ON BEAR COUNTY APPRAISAL.
THEY DO MAINTAIN THE VEGETATION, HOWEVER, THE FENCE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THIS IS FACING PRESSES STREET.
THEY DID REMOVE SOME OF THE PORTIONS THAT WERE, UH, FALLING BUT HAVE NOT REPLACED THAT FENCE.
STAFF RECOMMENDS FOR THE FENCE TO BE REPAIRED AND PROPER PERMITS BE OBTAINED.
THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 33 39 CARD AT O'HARA.
UH, DOES THE PROPERTY OWNER HAVE THE OPTION TO REPAIR OR OR REMOVE? THEY HAVE TO RE REPAIR, UH, REPAIR AND REPLACE SINCE IT'S A BUT IN A COMMERCIAL STREET ON, UH, AND IT'S THE ENTRANCE TO THE, THE SUBDIVISION.
SO THE, THE FENCE MUST STAY, IT MUST BE REPAIRED.
IT'S NOT AN OPTION TO REMOVE IT.
DAR ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? UH, YES, IT'S ROBERT TAPIA.
UM, TAPIA, YOU SAID IT WAS AN ENTRANCE TO A SUBDIVISION.
IS THERE AN AN H O A INVOLVED? NO, THERE'S NOT AN H O A, UH, INVOLVED, BUT THERE IS SOME, UH, CONCERN CITIZENS HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME REGARDING, UH, THE, UH, DEFICIENCIES OF THE FENCE AND THE CONCERNS THEY HAVE FOR, UH, THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND AS WE PLACE THE TERM REPAIR, I MEAN WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT REPAIRING THE, THE WOOD THAT'S THERE, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A NEW FENCE, CORRECT? YES.
AND DOES THE HOMEOWNER HAVE THE OPTION TO PUT A CHAIN LINK FENCE THAT MIGHT BE CHEAPER? THEY CAN, IT, IT, AS LONG AS THEY EITHER REPLACE, UH, THE FENCE, EITHER IT COULD BE A WOODEN FENCE OR A CHANGING FENCE.
IT'S NOT, THERE'S NO A SPECIFIC AS FAR AS THE MATERIAL, AS LONG AS IT'S, UH, SOUND OR IF IT'S, UH, BECAUSE IT'S AN ENTRANCE TO A SUBDIVISION, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO CODE THAT SAYS IT HAS TO BE A, A, A WOODEN FENCE? NO.
MIGHT BE AN OPTION, A CHEAPER OPTION, UH, TO GET RID OF THE, THE DETERIORATING FENCE AND THEN REPLACE IT WITH A, UM, A SIMPLE CHAIN LINK FENCE.
THAT IS, THAT COULD BE AN OPTION.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YEAH, MR. YEAH, MR. NELSON? I HAVE FOR CODE.
CAN I HAVE THAT SECTION? I DIDN'T WRITE THE NUMBER DOWN ON THE SECTION.
THE VIOLATION, THE SECTION IS 3 0 2 0.7 POINT ONES.
NOW ON THIS OTHER THING, YOU'RE TALKING THE FENCE.
[00:30:01]
WHAT ABOUT THE DEBRIS BY THE BACK OF THAT FENCE? IS THAT CONSIDERED THE PROPERTY OWNER'S CONCERN OR IS THAT BECAUSE AS YOU SAY, IT BUTTS UP AGAINST A CITY STREET? IS THAT THE CITY'S? WE HAVE A SEPARATE CASE FOR THAT.THAT DID, UH, COME UP IN OUR, UH, CASE SUMMARY AS WELL.
SO THAT'S NOT GONNA BE ADDRESSED UNTIL LATER.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE THING, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS PART OF THE FENCE OR NOT.
SO HOW ABOUT THE OTHER PART OF THE FENCE THAT THEY REMOVED THAT HAS BEEN TOOK CARE OF OR IT'S STILL OPEN? IT'S STILL OPEN.
HEY, MR. ERS, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? UH, THIS IS JOSHUA POWELL.
UH, CAN YOU, CAN YOU SAY AGAIN WHY THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO JUST TEAR DOWN THE FENCE? BECAUSE IT'S A BUDDING, A COMMERCIAL, UH, THOROUGHFARE PRESS THE STREET AND WHEN, IF IT'S A BUDDING, A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE, THEY NEED TO HAVE A FENCE, UH, ERECTED.
ALRIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? DO WE HAVE ANYONE REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY CHAIR DID ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE TENANT JOSHUA GAMBOA? HOWEVER, HE IS NOT ENTERING THE PHONE CALLS.
WE DO HAVE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT FROM MS. HOLLOWAY.
MS. HOLLOWAY, IF YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
MS. HOLLOWAY, GIVE US A SECOND, PLEASE.
IF YOU CAN PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.
MY ADDRESS IS 33 14 SCARLET O'HARA.
YOU CAN BEGIN WITH YOUR TESTIMONY.
I HAVE LIVED IN THE SUBDIVISION SINCE MARCH OF 1976.
I'VE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN EMBARRASSED BY WHERE I LIVE, BUT I HAVE BEEN FOR MONTHS THAT SENSE.
ALL IT TAKES IS A BIG STORM AND IT'S DOWN.
NOW, I'VE LISTENED TO ALL OF THE CONVERSATIONS IN REFERENCE TO A CHAIN LINK.
SINCE SCARLETT O'HARA IS TWO BLOCKS LONG.
EVERY SINGLE FENCE THAT FACES SOUTH PRETA, EVERY ONE OF THEM IS WOODEN TO PUT UP A CHAIN LINK FENCE IS GONNA STILL MAKE US LOOK AWKWARD.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S SO HARD TO JUST SAY, TAKE DOWN THE ROTTEN WOOD AND PUT UP A NEW WOODEN FENCE.
I AM REPRESENTING THREE OF MY OTHER NEIGHBORS.
ONE ACTUALLY HAD A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT AT 10 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING, SO SHE COULDN'T BE HERE.
BUT I'M NOT THE ONLY NEIGHBOR THAT'S SET UP AND ALL WE'RE ASKING IS FOR HELP TO MAKE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK THE WAY IT USED TO LOOK.
I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT MS. LOPEZ HAS DONE.
SHE'S DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.
I JUST WANNA GET IT OVER WITH.
THAT BRINGS A QUESTION UP FOR THE LEGAL, UH, STAFF.
DO WE HAVE AS A BOARD THE AUTHORITY TO ACTUALLY REQUIRE
[00:35:01]
A FENCE THAT IS, UH, WOODEN OR A PRIVACY FENCE AS OPPOSED TO ANY OTHER KIND OF FENCING? UH, WELL, I I I WOULD SAY THE FENCING THAT ALLOWED IS GOING HA IS GONNA HAVE TO BE THE FENCING THAT IS, UH, ALLOWABLE BY CODE.SO IF CODE ALLOWS A CHAIN LINK FENCE AND THE OWNER WANTS TO PUT UP A CHAIN LINK FENCE, HE CAN PUT UP A CHAIN LINK FENCE.
UM, I'D HAVE TO, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE, THE PICTURES THAT I SAW, THE, THE, THE FENCE LOOKS DAMAGED, THAT WOOD LOOKS DAMAGED, UH, THIS BOARD CAN, CAN ORDER THE FENCE TO BE REPAIRED.
BUT IN REGARDS TO THE, WHAT MATERIALS CAN BE USED, I I, I'D HAVE TO SAY WHATEVER IS LEGALLY ALLOWED.
SO I, I WOULD, AND, AND MAYBE YOU ASK CODE THIS, I WOULD, I WOULD URGE NOT TO REQUIRE A CERTAIN TYPE OF FENCE IF MULTIPLE TYPES OF FENCES ARE ALLOWED.
SO, UH, THERE, THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS BOARD CANNOT USE A MOTION, UH, OF REPAIR OR REPLACE AND LEAVE IT AT THAT SIMPLE STATEMENT.
UH, IF THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, WANTS IT TO BE A WOODEN FENCE, BUT IT ISN'T NECESSARILY GONNA BE ABLE TO REQUIRE IT, YOU COULD ASK FOR A FENCE THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH, UH, UH, THE, THE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S APPEAL.
AND LOOK, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD HAS A, A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION THAT HAD RESTRICTIONS OR COVENANTS.
SO I WOULD, I WOULD URGE THE BOARD TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT THAT FENCE IS BEING REPAIRED, UM, UH, WITHIN AND, AND MATERIALS USED THAT ARE, THAT ARE ALLOWED WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE LAW.
SO THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A MOTION THAT WOULD BE BASICALLY REPAIR OR REPLACE WITH LIKE KIND? NO.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE WORDING THAT, UH, WE MIGHT WANNA TRY TO USE AND I'M NOT, UH, ADVOCATING THAT THAT BE THE MOTION IF IT'S JUST THAT'S WHAT AN OPTION THE BOARD HAS.
UH, ARE THERE ANY, UH, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE PROPERTY FROM THE BOARD? IF NOT, CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS.
UH, CAN I, UM, STILL ASK A QUESTION? UH, WHO IS ASKING THE QUESTION? THIS IS MEGAN RODRIGUEZ.
UM, I JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAR, JUST SO I KNOW FOR THE FUTURE, UH, WHAT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE IN RELATIVE COST FOR A CHAIN LINK FENCE AS IT COMPARED TO, YOU KNOW, A REPLACEMENT OF A WOODEN FENCE? DEPENDS ON THE LINEAR FOOTAGE.
IN MY CASE OF PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I'M GONNA SHARE WITH YOU, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A FENCE THAT I HAD TO BID OF 7,000 VERSUS A BID OF 5,000.
I APPRECIATE THAT FENCE BEING THE LOWER PRICE OF THOSE TWO.
UH, HOWEVER, I WILL SAY THIS, UH, I WAS REPLACING A FIVE FOOT WOOD FENCE VERSUS A FOUR FOOT SAME FENCE, SO YOU MIGHT WANNA CONSIDER THAT COST FACTOR.
SO, UH, YOU'RE ALMOST LOOKING AT, UH, I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU PROBABLY A 15% LOWER
I FIND THE PROPERTY LISTED AT 39 33.
39 SCARLET O'HARA TO BE IN VIOLATION OF SAN ANTONIO.
UH, MAINTENANCE CODE, UH, 3 3 0 2, 3 0 2 0.7 0.1, AND FIND IT TO BE, UH, FIND THE PROPERTY TO HAVE A, HAVE DEFENSE REPAIRED OR REPLACED IN THIS CASE WITHIN A 30 DAY PERIOD.
THE MOTION IS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A, UH, DID YOU SAY REPAIR OR REPLACE REFER I, I'M SORRY, REPAIRED OR REPLACED IN THIS CASE.
YEAH, IN THIS CASE REPLACED WITHIN A 30 DAY PERIOD.
THIS IS A REPAIR REPLACE ORDER IN 30 DAYS FOR THE WOODEN FENCE LOCATED AT 3 39.
ANY DISCUSSION? YEAH, I'D LIKE TO OFFER A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
IN RECOGNITION OF THE, OF THE NEIGHBORS HAVING TO HAVE DEAL WITH THIS, I'D LIKE A PENALTY OF A HUNDRED DOLLARS PER DAY BEYOND 30 DAYS.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION, MS. BROWN OF THE 100 A DAY.
[00:40:01]
KNOW, I, I UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF IT.I REALLY DO, BUT THEN AGAIN, WE HAVE TO CONSIDER WHAT, UM, WHAT OUR COUNCIL HAS TOLD US ABOUT PUTTING FINES AND MAYBE NOT PER DAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT, UM, UM, A ONE-TIME FINE OF $500 IF IT'S NOT REPLACED WITHIN 30 DAYS, I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
JUST SOMETHING TO INCENTIVIZE THEM TO GET IT DONE BECAUSE CLEARLY GETTING IT DONE.
WELL, LET'S PUT A, LET'S PUT A $250 FINE.
MS. BROWN, THIS IS FRED ANDIS.
WOULD YOU ALSO ACCEPT, UH, WITH, UH, PERMITS? OH, YES, WITH PERMITS.
THE MOTION HAS BEEN AMEND TO HAVE A 30 DAY REPAIR OR REPLACE WITH A $250 FINE AFTER 30 DAYS IF NOT REPLACED.
UH, AND PERMITS REQUIRED PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORK.
YES, THAT SOUNDS DO I HAVE A SECOND FOR THE MOTION? I SECOND IT.
MR. ANIS, MR. BROWN MOTION AND MR. ANIS SECOND.
CAN WE HAVE A ROLL CALL PLEASE? MR. NELSON? AYE.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF EIGHT TO ONE.
WE WILL MOVE TO OUR NEXT PROPERTY.
MS. HOLLOWAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT.

[00:55:14]
AND THEN, UM, CLARIFY IF IT'S ACTUALLY OWNED BY A OWNER OR IT'S OWNED BY THE BANK NOW? THE BANK IS CLAIMING, UM, THAT THEY'RE IN CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY.AND THEN YOU SAID THERE WAS NO SCOPE OF WORK PROVIDED.
UM, SO WHAT ARE THESE TWO ATTACHMENTS WE HAVE IN THE EMAILS I SENT YOU US FOR A TEAR DOWN AND A REBUILD.
UH, TO THE OFFICER, DID YOU SAY THAT WHO WAS IN CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY? EVELYN, JUST A MOMENT.
MR. POWELL, DID YOU COMPLETE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS? DOES SOMEONE KNOW, UM, WHAT THESE TWO DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO AT BARN? IF SHE DOESN'T YES, MR. SHERIFF, I MAY, UH, THESE WERE PROVIDED BY JONATHAN C. SMITH.
I BELIEVE HE IS THE ATTORNEY FOR THE, THE BANK.
AND I'LL LET HIM TELL YOU EXACTLY WHO HE IS.
UH, THOSE TWO DOCUMENTS WERE ONE WAS A ESTIMATE FOR DEMOLITION, THE OTHER WAS, WAS AN ESTIMATE FOR A REBUILD.
UM, UH, I RECEIVED THEM FROM JUDY, UH, TO SEE IF THEY WERE OKAY FOR YOU THIS BOARD TO LOOK AT.
THEY ARE OKAY FOR YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT.
UM, ARE THEY THE FORMS THAT YOU USUALLY ASK FOR? NO, BUT THEY WERE SOME INFORMATION.
SO I, UH, I WOULD, UH, HOPE THAT YOU GUYS ALLOW MR. SMITH EXPLAIN AS TO WHY HE HANDED YOU THOSE TWO DOCUMENTS.
I, I DUNNO WHY OTHER THAN THOSE ARE THE, I GUESS THEY'RE TWO OPTIONS.
THAT, THAT, THAT'S JUST MY GUESS.
MR. POWELL, ARE YOU OKAY WITH WAITING OR HOLDING YOUR QUESTION UNTIL WE GET TO THE, UH, TO MR. SMITH'S, UH, TESTIMONY? YES, I AM.
MS. UH, MS. BROWN, YOU HAD A QUESTION.
THE CODE OFFICER, AND YOU'RE ON MUTE, MS. BROWN.
UH, WHY DID IT TAKE A YEAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR FOR THIS CASE TO COME BEFORE US? UH, THAT WAS JUST THE TIMEFRAME IT TOOK, UM, DUE TO ALL THE OTHER CASES THAT OTHER OFFICERS HAVE.
UM, IT WAS THE TIME THAT IT TOOK, IT WAS WHAT, JUST DUE TO ALL THE OTHER CASES THE OTHER OFFICERS HAVE.
UM, THAT'S, UH, THAT'S HOW IT GOT PUT ON THE AGENDA.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS, THIS PROPERTY, IS IT WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET OF A DAYCARE? AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WARRANTS A LITTLE BIT MORE CONCERN THAN THE OTHER CASES, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THAT CLOSE TO A, A DAYCARE OR A SCHOOL, BUT THIS, THIS PROPERTY IS IN REALLY ROUGH SHAPE.
MS. BROWN, MAY I ASK THAT WE, I I WOULD QUESTION, I WOULD ASK THAT ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTION, MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
I'M SORRY, THE, THE ACTUAL TIMEFRAME DOES NOT HAVE ANY MISS MATERIAL IMPACT ON OUR DECISION OF WHAT WE MIGHT RECOMMEND.
SO LET'S HOLD THAT COMMENT OR THAT QUESTION TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE TIME PERIOD, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
MR. BURNS, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THAT MR. CHAIR? WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT DURING ADMINISTRATIVE SESSION.
MS. BROWN, DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? THE CODE OFFICER, AND YOU'RE ON MUTE, I'M SORRY.
THE CODE OFFICER HAD SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SOMEBODY WAS IN CHARGE OF THE PROPERTY.
THE, UH, BANK IS IN CHARGE OF THE PROPERTY AND WE HAVE AN ATTORNEY NAMED MR. SMITH WHO IS GOING TO ADDRESS US IN A MOMENT TO DISCUSS THE POSITION FOR THE, FOR, FOR, UH, TO DISCUSS THEIR POSITION, UH, THE BANK'S POSITION.
CAN I ASK ANOTHER QUESTION BEFORE WE GET TO THAT TESTIMONY? UM, I JUST WANTED TO SEE, UM, ARE THE UTILITIES CONNECTED FOR BOTH THE MAIN AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE? THERE ARE NO WATER OR ELECTRICAL SERVICES TO THE PROPERTY AS OF RIGHT NOW.
UM, BUT ALSO THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, IS THAT INHABITED? NO, IT'S VACANT.
ANYONE HAVE A QUESTION OF THE CALL OFFICER? OKAY.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING I HAVE QUESTION.
UM, ONE MORE QUESTION, AND THIS MIGHT BE ADMINISTRATIVE AS WELL.
UM, THE MAIN STRUCTURE WAS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE AS, AS YOU SAID, MS. BROWN.
UM, AND I'M WONDERING WHY THAT WAS NOT, UH,
[01:00:01]
AN EMERGENCY DEMO.IT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY DEMO DUE TO THE LARGE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY.
IF IT WAS TO COLLAPSE, IT WOULD'VE COLLAPSED INWARD AND IT WOULD NOT HAVE FALLEN ON ANOTHER PROPERTY AND CAUSED ANY OTHER DAMAGE.
THIS IS, I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION FOR THE CODE OFFICER.
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THE BANK HAS BEEN IN CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY? I'M UNAWARE OF HOW LONG THEY WERE IN CONTROL OF IT.
UM, THEY CONTACTED ME, I SPOKE TO, UM, ONE PERSON, UM, ONE TIME.
UM, AND SHE SAID THAT THEY HAD TAKEN IT OVER AND, UH, SHE REQUESTED THAT I E I MAIL HER A NOTICE OF VIOLATION.
AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I'VE EVER SPOKEN WITH ANYONE.
WHEN, WHEN WAS THAT MR. POWELL? WHY DON'T WE HOLD THAT QUESTION TO MR. SMITH, UH, BECAUSE HE CAN JUST BE A DIRECT ANSWER, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, THEN WE'D ASK MR. SMITH IF YOU WOULD, UH, PLEASE PRES.
UH, FIRST OF ALL, GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS AND PRESENT YOUR CASE, SIR.
I'M THE ATTORNEY FOR MIDLAND MORTGAGE.
UM, MY ADDRESS IS 1 4 1 6 0 DALLAS PARKWAY, SUITE 900, DALLAS, TEXAS 7 5 2 5 4.
IF YOU WOULD GO AHEAD AND PRESENT THE CASE.
SO OUR, MY CLIENT HAS, I GUESS, WENT OUT TO THE PROPERTY AND RECEIVED A COUPLE BIDS, ONE BID TO, UM, DEMO THE PROPERTY AND ANOTHER BID TO REPAIR IT AFTER THE DEMOLITION.
AND I'VE, THOSE ARE THE DOCUMENTS THAT I HAVE SENT.
UM, THIS IS A F H A LOAN, MEANING THAT THEY HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM HUD BEFORE, BEFORE THEY CAN PROCEED WITH THINGS.
SO THESE, THESE THINGS THAT I SENT WERE THE BIDS ACTUALLY PROVIDED FOR HUD'S APPROVAL AND ONCE HAD APPROVED THE, THE BIDS, UM, MY CLIENT WILL PROCEED WITH WORK ON DEMOLITION AND OR REBUILDING THE PROPERTY.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT, UH, THE PREFERENCE IS TO REBUILD OR REPLACE, I MEAN, OR TO DEMO OR IS IT'S CO WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IT'S OBVIOUS.
UH, IF YOU LOOK JUST COST LOAN, YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA WANT TO DEMO.
BUT, UH, THAT'S JUST A PERSONAL OPINION.
DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE THE BANK REFERS TO DO? WELL, ALL I KNOW RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE BANK INTENDS TO DEMO IT.
AND AS TO THE REBUILDING, I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AFTER THAT.
I JUST KNOW THAT THEY WANTED, THEY WANT TO DEMO IT.
MR. POWELL HAD A QUESTION ORIGINALLY, UH, ABOUT HOW LONG, UH, THE BANK HAD HAD CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY? UM, I'M NOT REALLY SURE ON THAT QUESTION.
UM, ALL I KNOW IS THEY'RE, THEY'RE ON THE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, INSPECTING IT AND THEY, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THESE BIDS, SO I'M NOT, I'M NOT REALLY SURE THAT WHOLE PROCESS, HOW THE BANK GOT IN CONTROL OF IT.
I JUST KNOW THAT MY CLIENT HOLDS IS A LIEN HOLDER ON THE, ON THE DEED OF TRUST.
MR. POWELL, DID YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION? UH, DIFFERENT THAN THAT.
SO, UM, THESE, THE DOCUMENTS YOU SUBMITTED, THAT WAS BIDS THAT WERE OBTAINED BY THE BANK? YES, SIR.
SO THE DATE ON THOSE IS NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.
SO THE, YOUR BANK HAS HAD IT FOR AT LEAST THAT PERIOD OF TIME, SO OVER A YEAR? UH, I WASN'T REALLY SURE ON THE DATE.
I MEAN, THIS IS WHAT MY CLIENT PROVIDED US TO, UM, SEND, SEND TO Y'ALL FOR THE HEARING.
UM, ALL I KNOW IS THAT THEY WANT TO, THEY WANT TO DEMO IT.
I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW LONG THEY'VE HAD CONTROL OF IT.
UM, THAT'S BASICALLY ALL I KNOW.
DOES ANYONE ELSE ON THE BOARD HAVE A QUESTION OF MR. SMITH? I, UH OH, GO AHEAD.
UH, MR. SMITH, IT'S HERNANDEZ, IT STATES ON THIS DOCUMENT REPAIR BASE ON THE DATE IT SAYS 1113 2019.
THAT'S, UH, WHEN THEY GOT THE BID.
THEY PROBABLY KNEW ABOUT IT BEFORE THAT.
[01:05:01]
THIS CASE? WHEN DID I GET IT? I GOT IT A WEEK AGO TODAY.SO THEY'VE HAD IT FOR AT LEAST A YEAR PLUS.
UM, I'M ASSUMING IF WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DATES ON THE DOCUMENT, THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I WAS PROVIDED.
SO, WELL THAT, THAT THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT YOU GAVE US AND WHAT YOU GAVE US.
INDICATES THIS WAS IN, UH, THE BIDS WERE MADE IN 2019.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE THEY JUST TOOK CARE OF THIS ERROR HAD THIS A YEAR BEFORE THEY PASSED IT TO YOU.
NOW ON, ON THE DEMO THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN FRONT OF THIS BOARD, THEY'VE ALREADY HAVE A BID ON A DEMO BUT DIDN'T ACT ON IT.
UM, ALL I KNOW IS THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE GIVEN TO ME BY, BY THEM.
MS. BROWN, YOU HAD A QUESTION OF MR. SMITH? I DO.
I AM SORRY MR. SMITH, BUT YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU UH, YOU APPEAR NOT TO BE PREPARED FOR THIS CASE, AND I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THEY JUST GAVE YOU THE INFORMATION, BUT IF YOU ARE THE REPRESENTATIVE, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS.
THEY'RE NOT REALLY, REALLY HARD, BUT SINCE YOU CAN'T, BUT SINCE YOU CAN'T ANSWER THEM, I, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE SHOWING US DOCUMENTS THAT ARE A YEAR OLD.
I, I DON'T, I UNDERSTAND THE CLIENT GAVE IT TO YOU, BUT, UM, I MEAN YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE COMING HERE SO THAT YOU WOULD'VE HAD THE ANSWERS TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS, RIGHT? YES MA'AM.
THANK YOU MS. BROWN, DO YOU HAVE ANY, ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. SMITH? MR. SMITH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THIS PROPERTY.

THE NOTICE FOR B S B HEARING WAS POSTED AT 30 27 P STREET ON 10 23 20 20.
THE NOTICE FOR B S B HEARING WAS MAILED TO OWNER GONZALEZ, CIA, ANTHONY AT 30 27 P STREET.
WE WILL GO TO THE PICTURES NOW.
THIS IS THE FRONT EL ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE.
UM, THIS STRUCTURE IS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, R FOUR.
UM, IT IS A WAREHOUSE TYPE ONE STORY STRUCTURE.
IT IS A CENTER BLOCK, UH, EXTERIOR WALL STRUCTURE THAT HAS A FLAT ROOF AND IT, IT WAS INVOLVED IN A FIRE.
UH, IT DOES HAVE FIRE DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR.
IT ALSO HAS A, A WOOD FRAME HOUSE THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE REAR, WHICH WE'LL SEE IN THE PICTURES HERE, UH, FROM COMING.
THIS IS THE FRONT, UH, SAW BREAK.
APPEARS TO BE COMING APART HERE.
HERE'S GOING TOWARDS THE LEFT OF THE STRUCTURE ON BRICK HERE.
UH, ALSO THAT IS COMING APART.
THIS AREA HERE IS WHERE, UH, THE FIRE STARTED AND WHERE, UH, WHERE THE FIRE ORIGINATED AND, AND DID MOST OF ITS DAMAGE HERE.
YOU SEE SOME CRACKS THERE TO THE WALL HERE THAT ARE GOING TO BE EVIDENT ON THE INTERIOR AS WELL.
HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK AT THESE CRACKS.
UH, NORMALLY THEY'RE NOT, UH, TOO SIGNIFICANT ONES JUST STUCK OR PLASTER.
UH, HOWEVER THESE, UH, APPEAR TO BE ON THE INTERIOR AS WELL.
[01:30:01]
NEXT PICTURE PLEASE.HERE'S THE REAR WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE WOOD FRAME HOUSE.
APPARENTLY THIS WAS A, A GARAGE THAT WAS FILLED.
UH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S, THE FRAME IS DAMAGED, THE ROOF IS DAMAGED, AND, UH, YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT COMING AT, UH, FROM THE TOP AS WELL.
HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FRAME.
AND, UH, SOME OF THE BRICK THERE IS DAMAGED AND SOME ALSO SOME OF THE CHEATING ON TOP IS MISSING.
THE FIRE DID AFFECT IT SOMEWHAT AS WELL.
THIS IS A FRONT, UH, VIEW OF THE, OF THE HOUSE, THE ATTACHED WOOD FRAME HOUSE.
AND IT DOES, THIS SHOWS SOME, UH, EVIDENCE OF FRAME DAMAGE.
UH, BRICKS ARE JUST COMING LOOSE AND, AND STARTING TO COME APART.
I ALSO NOTICE SOME WATER DAMAGE, UH, UNDERNEATH, UH, HERE ON THE PORCH TO THE WOOD FRAME.
UH, WE HAVE SOME EVIDENCE OF WATER DAMAGE HERE.
THERE'S A CLOSER LOOK HERE AT THE BRICKS COMING APART.
AS WE GO AROUND THE LEFT, I MEAN AROUND THE REAR HERE, UH, THERE IS, UH, EVIDENCE HERE THAT THE BRAKES ARE COMING APART HERE ON THE TOP.
THEN AGAIN, CAN YOU OPEN THE WINDOW ON TOP? NEXT PICTURE, PLEASE.
AND HERE WE GO AROUND THE OTHER SIDE AND IT LOOKS AT THE, LIKE THE BOTTOM, UH, HERE, UH, BRICK IS COMING APART AND SO USUALLY IN INDICATION THAT THE FRAME, UH, HAS DAMAGE THERE.
HERE'S A CLOSER LOOK AT A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BRICK HERE WHERE THEY'RE JUST STARTING TO COME APART THEIR HOME.
UH, I'VE GOT A LITTLE, UH, VIEW FROM THE TOP AND IT LOOKS LIKE, UH, RIGHT AT THE TOP THERE, UH, THERE IS SOME ROOF COVERING MISSING AND THE ROOF LOOKS, THE ROOF COVERING.
THIS IS THE LOOK AT, UH, THE CENTER BLOCK BUILDING THAT IT ATTACHES TO HIT, AND IT ALSO HAS EVIDENCE THERE OF CRACKING ON THE EXTERIOR CORNER THERE.
THIS IS WHERE IT LOOKED FROM, FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF WHERE WE WERE, AND THIS IS WHERE THE, THE WOOD FRAME GARAGE ATTACHES IN BETWEEN AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS DAMAGED, UH, FROM THIS SIDE AS WELL.
YOU CAN SEE THE DAYLIGHT COMING IN FROM THE OTHER SIDE.
I'LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK HERE AT THE FRAME.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S PRETTY WELL DAMAGED.
UH, WATER DAMAGE ITSELF, UH, ROOF DECKING AND THE FRAME TRANSITION HERE.
ALONG, UH, GOING BACK ALONG, UH, THIS SIDE, UH, OR THE PIECE WALL, UH, THERE'S JUST EVIDENCE OF CRACKING, UH, FASTER CRACKS TO, UH, NEXT PICTURE, PLEASE.
AS WE GO INTO THE STRUCTURE WHERE THE, UH, WHERE THE FIRE ORIGINATED HERE, UH, I COULD SEE WHERE THE, THE ROOF FRAME HERE, UH, WAS CHARRED PRETTY GOOD ALSO.
UH, WHAT, WHAT YOU CAN SEE THE CRACKING THERE IN THE CORNER THERE TO THE CENTER BLOCK, WHICH IS, UH, PRETTY COMMON WHEN THE HEAT, UH, IT'S, IT'S VERY INTENSE AND AGGRESSIVE.
IT HAS THE TENDENCY TO DO THAT.
HOWEVER, UH, IT ALSO COULD BE, UH, THAT THE WALLS DAMAGED PRIOR TO THE FIRE.
IT'S HARD TO TELL, UH, UH, WHETHER, UH, THE, THE WALLS HAVE THE STRENGTH TO MAINTAIN, UH, THE LOAD.
SO, UH, RECOMMENDING THAT AN ENGINEER ASSESS THE WALLS, THE TRUSSES, AND, UH, AND THE COLUMNS AS WELL.
LOOKING UP, UH, IN THE SAME ROOM HERE, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT CHARTED PRETTY WELL.
THE ELECTRICAL WAS DISCONNECTED, SO IT, IT, IT HAS NO ELECTRICAL, UH, BUT IT WAS PRETTY INTENSE IN THIS AREA HERE.
HERE WE JUST GO FURTHER TO THE LEFT, THE, UH, WHERE IT CHARTED MOST OF THE TRUST HERE WITH PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE THERE.
NEXT PICTURE, PLEASE JUST TO STEP BACK
[01:35:01]
AND LOOK AT THIS WALL HERE, UH, WHERE THE CENTER, THE CENTER BLOCK, UH, IS, IS SHOWING EVIDENCE OF BRAKING POINTS.AND IT'S ALWAYS A CONCERN THERE, UH, WHEN, YOU KNOW, CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD LIKE THIS, UH, NOT YOUR TYPICAL HOUSE, BUT VERY HEAVY TRUSSES ON TOP.
WE WERE JUST WALKING, UH, STILL THROUGH THE, THE WAREHOUSE HERE AND SEEING HOW MUCH MORE DAMAGE, UH, THE, THE TRUSSES.
UH, SO DUE TO THE FIRE DAMAGE, NEXT PICTURE PLEASE TO GO IN TO THE WAREHOUSE HERE.
UH, THERE WAS JUST A LOT OF DISORGANIZATION HERE.
UH, NOT FORCED, UH, VERY CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO IT BEING A FIRE HAZARD FOR FUTURE FIRES.
DEFINITELY IT WAS FOR THIS FIRE AS WELL.
IT WILL GO INTO THE MAIN ROOM AND, UH, A LOT OF SMOKE DAMAGE HERE TO THESE TRUSSES AND UNKNOWN WHAT THE DAMAGE IS, UH, IS TO THE ROOF FAR TO THE CONNECTION.
AGAIN, HERE'S MORE, UH, A PICTURE OF THE TRUSSES HERE AND FOR SURE, UH, HEAVY SMOKE DAMAGE AND, UH, I WOULD ASSUME A LOT OF HEAT DAMAGE.
HERE A LITTLE BIT MORE, A LITTLE BIT MORE CHARRING THAN, UH, THAN THE OTHERS.
SO SOME SPOTS ARE JUST MORE CHARRED THAN OTHERS.
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS, OF ALL THESE TRUSSES, UH, THAT RUN, THAT RUN FROM, FROM THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING TO THE END OF THE BUILDING, UH, GOING UH, FROM EAST TO WEST, GOING FROM, UH, SOUTH TO NORTH IS A HEAVY METAL BEAM THAT CARRIES THE ENTIRE ROOF SYSTEM METAL.
THIS IS WHERE IT CONNECTS HERE, UH, TO THIS WALL, THIS CENTER BLOCK WALL.
AND IT'S A VERY SIGNIFICANT CONNECTION HERE.
AND I NOTICE THAT THERE'S CRACKS THERE AT THE BOTTOM AND IT'S HARD TO TELL, UH, OF COURSE WHAT'S IN THERE.
NORMALLY YOU WOULD SEE ANOTHER METAL CROSS BE ATTACHED TO IT FOR A SHEER PLATE CONNECTION.
AND HERE IT'S JUST ON THE WALL.
SO IT'S REALLY, IT'S REALLY, UH, IT'S GONNA TAKE AN ENGINEER TO ASSESS THE STRENGTH OF THE WALL TO SEE IF IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR, OR WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
HERE'S THE, THE BEAM HERE AS IT RUNS THROUGH THE CENTER OF THE WAREHOUSE AND, UH, THE HEAT AND THE SMOKE DAMAGE APPEAR TO BE SIGNIFICANT ON THE TRUSSES.
UM, YOU CAN'T SEE HEAT DAMAGE, UH, TO THE STEEL OR TO THE METAL BEAM.
IT'S HARD TO TO, UH, IT DOESN'T REACT LIKE LUMBER, BUT THERE'S A GOOD POSSIBILITY THAT IT BEAM HEAT DAMAGE AND IT COULD BE, UH, AND IT IS OF CONCERN, UH, BECAUSE IT'S CARRYING THIS WHOLE LOAD.
AND, UH, THERE SHOULD BE A FUTURE FIRE.
IT'S DEFINITELY GONNA BE MORE VULNERABLE THAN EVER BEFORE.
THIS IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF HOW, UH, HOW MUCH WEIGHT AND HOW MANY TRUS THERE ARE, UH, ON THE TOP, HOW MUCH WEIGHT BE PUT ON THE WALL AND ON THE BEAM AND COLUMN.
HERE'S JUST A PICTURE OF THE WALL AND SOME OF THE SMOKE DAMAGE.
SO HERE'S ANOTHER, UH, ANOTHER BEAM TWO WALL CONNECTION.
IT'S QUITE A CONCERN TO SEE, UH, A BEAM SUPPORT, UH, LAYING ON A WALL THAT IS CRACKED RIGHT THERE AT THE CONNECTION.
SO AGAIN, UH, IT'S GONNA REQUIRE AN EXPERTISE BEYOND, UH, MY CREDENTIALS, BUT FROM MY EXPERIENCE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS A GREAT CONCERN HERE.
[01:40:02]
HERE'S ANOTHER, UH, WHERE IT ATTACHES AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE SAME, THE SAME, UH, THE SAME CONCERN.THEN TOWARDS THE REAR, THE BEAM ENDS UP AT THIS REAR WALL THERE, AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE WHERE THE HEAT, UH, GOT TO THAT CONNECTION AND YOU CAN SEE CRACKS.
UH, WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE IS WHAT DO THE WALLS HAVE REBAR OR WHAT'S INSIDE THE WALL.
SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DETERMINED.
UH, FOR RIGHT NOW, I WOULD SAY, UH, IT'S VERY CONCERNING.
HERE'S, UH, THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, UH, GOING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
AND AGAIN, IT'S JUST, UH, AN ABUNDANCE OF TRUSSES, AN ABUNDANCE OF WEIGHT, AND WITH THAT ONE BEAM IN THE MIDDLE, THE COLUMNS, UH, IT HAS COLUMNS IN THE MIDDLE, BUT THOSE NEED TO BE CHECKED AS WELL FOR, UH, FOR, UH, TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY HEAT, UH, DAMAGE TO THE METAL AND TO SEE IF IT, IT'S CAPABLE OF ACTUALLY HANDLING LOAD, UH, LONG-TERM.
SO, UH, TOLD THIS ORGANIZATION INSIDE THE WAREHOUSE THOUSAND PILES OF, UH, ITEMS, WHICH DEFINITELY DOES NOT MAKE IT EASY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS.
SHOULD THERE BE A FUTURE FIRE? UH, THIS WOULD, UH, POTENTIALLY BE A DEATH TRAP.
UH, IF THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER FIRE HERE WITH ALL THIS, UH, ALL THESE ITEMS HERE STACKED AS HIGH AS THEY ARE.
AND HERE'S JUST ANOTHER CONNECTION, A WALL CONNECTION HERE TO THE, TO THE FRONT WALL.
UH, THE DOOR IS RIGHT UNDER THIS CONNECTION HERE.
UH, YOU CAN SEE SOME STRESS CRACKS THERE.
AND SO AGAIN, I'M KNOWING IF THEY WERE THERE BEFORE THE HEAT, UH, CAUSED THIS.
UH, IT'S TYPICAL OF THE BOAT, BUT THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT IS HOLDING UP THAT BE OTHER THAN CENTER BLOCK.
SO IT DOES HAVE TO BE ASSESSED, UH, DO A, A HIGHER EXPERTISE.
JUST ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE LOAD HERE.
OTHER QUITE A, IT, IT'S QUITE A LARGE, UH, BUILDING FOR BEING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND, UH, THAT'S WHY SO MANY PICTURES.
AND, UH, MY CONCERN IS WITH THE, THE COLUMNS, THE BEAMS SUPPORT, UH, TO THESE TRUSSES AND THE EXTERIOR WALLS.
SO THE HOUSE IN THE REAR, UH, GOING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE HOUSE IN THE REAR, UH, IT'S JUST ABOUT A LOT OF CLUTTER, DISORGANIZATION.
I DID NOTICE, UH, SOME WATER DAMAGE TO CEILINGS, FLOORS.
LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE MADE SOME REPAIRS HERE.
UH, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SCENE IS TAGGING DOWN FROM WHAT NEXT FIX PLEASE.
THERE IS SOME, UH, SHEET ROCK DAMAGE THERE.
UNKNOWN WHETHER THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE REPAIRS OR IT WAS JUST WATER DAMAGE.
JUST AREAS OF SHEET ROCK AND CRACKS IN THE WALL.
UH, TOWARDS THE KITCHEN HERE, UH, WAS JUST SHEET ROCK ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND THE FLOORS WERE SOMEWHAT ON THAT WALL SAW.
HERE'S, UH, TOWARDS THE CEILING AGAIN.
UH, LOOKS LIKE MAYBE THEY WERE DOING REPAIRS OR, OR THEY JUST, IT, UH, DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST WATER DAMAGE OR THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CLEAN REPAIRS AND THAT LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S STILL, UH, IT'S STILL DAMAGED.
AND JUST MORE OF THIS THROUGHOUT THE ROOMS AS UH, I WALKED IN THERE.
SOME OF THE BOTTOM FRAME HERE I JUST NOTICED WAS CRACKED AND BROUGHT.
HERE'S JUST, UH, ALONG THE FRONT AS YOU GO OUT AND EXIT THE PORCH AND WATER DAMAGE THERE.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE IS A SINGLE STORY WOOD FRAME, CENTER BLOCK, RESIDENTIAL FIRE DAMAGE, VACANT STRUCTURE, ROOF OF DAMAGE AND SAGGING INTERIOR WALLS.
INTERIOR TRUSSES AND WALLS ARE FIRE DAMAGE.
THE INTERIOR IS WALLS AND THE DAMAGE, THE FOUNDATION IS DAMAGE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 30 27 FE IS IN VIOLATION
[01:45:01]
OF CITY CODE ARTICLE EIGHT, CHAPTER 6, 1 56, SUBSECTION 2 5 7 8 11 12 15, WHICH ANY BUILDING OR STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ANY OR ALL OF THE CONDITIONS FOR PROTECTION AND AFTER DESCRIBED, SHALL SEEM TO BE A DANGEROUS BUILDING AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.PROVIDED THAT SUCH CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF DILAPIDATION, SUBSTANDARD, OR UNFIT FOR HUMAN HABITATION, WILL THE THREATS OR POTENTIAL THREATS TO LIVE HEALTH, PROPERTY OR HUMAN SAFETY STAFF RECOMMENDS ENGINEERS ASSESSMENT AND REPAIRS.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF 30 27 SEVENTH STREET.
UH, IT APPEARS THAT WE HAVE A CINDER BLOCK STRUCTURE, UH, AND A SECOND STRUCTURE, WHICH WAS THE HOUSE AND THEN A GARAGE BUILT BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE CINDER BLOCK STRUCTURE.
IS THAT A CORRECT UNDERSTANDING? YES SIR.
I'LL SAY IT'S CONTIGUOUS BUILDING JUST BECAUSE OF THE GARAGE BUILT BETWEEN THE TWO STRUCTURES? YES SIR.
AND THERE WAS FIRE DAMAGE TO THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
WAS THERE FIRE DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE ALSO OR WAS THAT SMOKE DAMAGE ONLY? SMOKE DAMAGE ONLY.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE CODE OFFICER? UH, MS. NELSON? I DO.
ANDY, GO AHEAD MR. ANDERS, YOU ARE DEFINING THE MAIN STRUCTURE AS THE FRONT PART WHEN ONCE IT BECOMES ATTACHED TO THE BACK PART, DOES IT NOT ALL BECOME THE MAIN STRUCTURE? YES, SIR, IT DOES.
SO YOU'RE ASKING REPAIRING THE FRONT, THE GARAGE, AND THE HOUSE, THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT, YES SIR.
SO WE GOTTA TAKE IN NOT JUST THIS FRONT PART, BUT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL OF IT? YES SIR.
IT'S, UH, ALRIGHT, BUT IT'S HALF.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION OF THE CALLED OFFICER MR. ROBERT TAPIO? DO WE HAVE A CAUSE OF THE FIRE? IT WAS ELECTRICAL FIRE.
UH, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THAT'S WHAT I
AND YOU'RE RECOMMENDING REPAIR TO, DO YOU HAVE A SCOPE OF WORK OR DO YOU HAVE AN INVESTOR THAT MS. TAPIA THAT WOULD BE AN ISSUE FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER? NOT FOR THE CODE OFFICER ON THE, UH, REPAIR ISSUES.
OKAY, SORRY, OTHER QUESTIONS FOR CODE OFFICER? OKAY, MR. NOGA, YOU'RE ONLINE WITH US, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR, I AM.
IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE.
UH, MY FULL NAME IS ANTHONY ARGA.
MY UH, RESIDENCE ADDRESS IS 39 GRASS MARKET, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS 7 8 2 5 9.
IF YOU WOULD GO AHEAD AND PROVIDE YOUR TESTIMONY, SIR.
UM, THANK, UH, FIRST I WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
UM, WE'VE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH, UH, INSPECTOR ALONSO ON, ON THIS PROPERTY AND, UH, WE DO HAVE A TENTATIVE SCOPE OF WORK, UH, BUT I THINK, UM, TO BE A DEFINITIVE, DEFINITIVE SCOPE OF WORK, WE'VE, UH, MADE CONTACT WITH MR. LEWIS BARLAS ENGINEER, UM, TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY.
UM, FROM WHAT, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, HE'S BEEN OVERLOADED WITH WORK, SO HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT THERE TO ME YET.
UH, BUT I AM, I AM SCHEDULED TO MEET WITH HIM, UM, TO GET THE ENGINEER'S REPORT AND BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE SCOPE OF WORK, UH, TO GET THAT BUILDING UP TO STANDARD AGAIN.
SO IN ESSENCE, YOU ARE, YOU INTEND TO REPAIR THE STRUCTURE, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR, THAT IS CORRECT.
UH, AND OBVIOUSLY THAT WOULD BE DEPENDENT UPON THE ENGINEER REPORT.
AND WHEN DID YOU MAKE CONTACT WITH THE ENGINEER? UH, LAST WEEK.
UH, IS THERE A REASON WHY YOU WAITED UNTIL LAST WEEK TO CONTACT AN ENGINEER SINCE THE FIRE WAS, UH, IN 2017? UM, NO, NOT REALLY.
WE, IT'S, UM, THAT'S PROPERTY THAT'S BEEN IN OUR, IN OUR FAMILY FOR THREE GENERATIONS.
UM, SINCE THE FIRE WE REALLY HAVEN'T USED IT.
UM, THE PROPERTY IS SECURED THOUGH.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO, UH, THERE'S NO, UM, WHAT'S THE WORD I'M LOOKING FOR? THERE'S NO, UH, UM, OH, FOR ANYBODY TO GET HURT OR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN OUTSIDE
[01:50:01]
OF THE BUILDING.ALL OF THE, UH, ALL, ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE INSIDE THE STRUCTURE AND THE STRUCTURE IS COMPLETELY SECURED.
SO WE JUST REALLY HAVEN'T, HAVEN'T GOTTEN AROUND TO WORKING ON IT UNTIL, UH, MR. ALONSO SENT ME THE NOTICE.
SO THEN WE JUST, THAT'S WHY WE, WE REACHED OUT, I, WHEN I SPOKE WITH MR. ALONSO AND WE REACHED OUT TO MR. PARALIS TO, UH, TO HELP US, UH, UH, START THE SCOPE OF WORK.
AND WHAT IS YOUR INTENT FOR THE BUILDING AFTER YOU'VE MADE REPAIRS? UM, TO REUSE IT AS A, UH, AS A HABITATION IN THE BACK AND, AND, UH, THE FRONT AS A WAREHOUSE AS WE HAVE BEEN USING IT SINCE 1981.
UH, DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. ADO? I DO, I DO
GO AHEAD, MR. MR. ANDIS, GO AHEAD.
ONE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 2017, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.
WHEN YOU WERE AWARE OF THIS, AND YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING UNTIL NOW, NOW YOU'RE TELLING US YOU'RE WAITING ON THE ENGINEER TO GO AND DO A, A REVIEW OF THE PROPERTY, HOW LONG IS THAT GONNA TAKE YOU TO GET THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS REQUIRED TODAY, UM, TO GET THE SCOPE OF WORK? I WOULD IMAGINE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
SO THAT'S GONNA SIT THERE ANOTHER TWO OR THREE WEEKS WHEN THAT WAS REQUIRED TODAY? UH, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.
WELL, I MEAN, I, I HAVE A TENTATIVE SCOPE OF WORK, BUT JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, WE WANTED, THAT'S WHEN I, WITH MY CONVERSATION WITH INSPECTOR ALONSO, UH, WAS, WAS HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO GET THE ENGINEER'S REPORT.
SO THAT'S WHY WHEN WE SPOKE, I, I REACHED OUT TO MR. FAROS ENGINEER.
SO DID YOU SUBMIT A FINANCIAL STATEMENT AS WELL? UH, NO MA'AM.

MR. RAMIREZ, UH, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE.
THIS CASE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 10 11 17, AND I'VE BEEN READING THE UPDATES IN NINE IN, UH, 10 18 2019.
IT SAID THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO, TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.
AND THEN IN, UM, 10 29 20, WHICH IS NOW, UH, YOU HAVE TAXES OWED OF $8,064 AND YOU HAVE AN ABATEMENT THAT YOU HAVEN'T PAID OF $403 AND 65 CENTS.
YOU DIDN'T BRING ANY, YOU WAITED UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH AN ENGINEER AND YOU DID NOT BRING IN ANY KIND OF SCOPE OF WORK.
SO IN, WITH ALL THOSE FACTORS HERE ON THIS PROPERTY, AND IT'S PROBABLY BEEN SITTING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW, WITH THE FIRE REPORT AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND, UH, I THINK YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE PROBABLY HAD ENOUGH OF THIS.
BUT, UH, WITH ALL THAT SAID, I DON'T THINK I COULD SUPPORT, UM, YOU KNOW, A, A REPAIR ON THIS BUILDING.
IS THAT A QUESTION OR DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MS. BROWN? UM, THAT, THAT'S IT.
JUST SOME STATEMENTS, I GUESS.
MR. ORGA, DO YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO HER STATEMENTS? UM, N UM, IN MY DEFENSE, ALL I CAN SAY IS REALLY WE, UH, WHEN I SPOKE WITH, UH, WITH INSPECTOR ALONSO, UH, ABOUT THIS CASE, WHICH WAS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, UM, WAS WHEN, WHEN WE STARTED MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO GET THINGS DONE AND, AND MOVE FORWARD, UM, IN THE PAST, IN THE PAST, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, UH, I MEAN, THE BUILDING IS COMPLETELY SECURED.
THERE'S NO OUTSIDE SAFETY FEATURES, UH, OR SAFETY PROBLEMS SHOULD I SAY.
AND, UM, I MEAN, I JUST WANNA, I WANNA WORK WITH YOU ALL AS BEST I CAN TO GET THAT THING BACK, BACK TOGETHER.
LAST YEAR YOU INDICATED THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.
WHAT HAS CHANGED AS FAR AS THE FINANCIAL SITUATION IS CONCERNED? UM, I'M GONNA BRING AN INVESTOR IN.
UH, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA SHARE, WE'RE GONNA SHARE IN THE COST AND SHARE IN THE OWNERSHIP, UH, GOING, MOVING FORWARD.
IS THAT INVESTOR, UH, ALREADY ARRANGED FOR YES, SIR.
MAY WE ASK WHO IT IS? IT'S, THEY'RE, THEY'RE CALLED
THEY'RE OUT OF, UH, OUT OF EL PASO, TEXAS.
DOES BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
[01:55:01]
I HAVE ONE.MR. ANGA, IF WE GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO REPAIR THE STRUCTURE, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'LL BE UNTIL IT IS UP TO CODE REQUIREMENTS? UM, AND THIS IS JUST A GUESSTIMATION, I WOULD SAY, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY 90 DAYS TO 120 DAYS.
UH, ONCE THE WHOLE PROCESS IS, UH, I MEAN, ONCE WE DO THE, THE, UH, FLORIDA AND START PULLING PERMITS AND START GETTING EVERYTHING CLEANED UP AND, AND DONE AND, UH, THAT TYPE OF THING.
AND HAS YOUR INVESTOR, YOU SAID OUTTA EL PASO, HAS HE COME TO, HE OR SHE HAS, HAVE THEY SEEN THE PROPERTY? YES.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A QUESTION? IT'S NOT A QUESTION, BUT I THINK, UH, MR. RAMIREZ, YOU'VE HAD MORE THAN AMPLE TIME TO BEGIN TO FIX THE STRUCTURE AND SINCE 2017, AND YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET, PLUS WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT YOU BROUGHT IN TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIMS. YES, MA'AM.
WELL, UM, ALL I, I WOULD ASK FOR JUST A RESET.
IF I CAN BE, HAVE A REHEARING WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS OR SOMETHING, THEN I CAN GIVE YOU THE SCOPE OF WORK.
I CAN GIVE YOU THE, THE ENGINEER'S REPORT, UM, AND I CAN GIVE YOU THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT YOU, THAT YOU'RE REQUIRED.

THE PHOTOS THAT ARE BEING PROVIDED FOR TODAY'S PRESENTATION WERE TAKEN ON SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2020 AND OCTOBER 29TH, 2020.
THIS IS A SINGLE STORE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE, UH, MAIN STRUCTURE.
THE MAIN STRUCTURE THAT HAS A DETERIORATE, DETERIORATED METAL ROOF THAT IS LIFTING FROM THE DECKING AND THE RUSTING.
EXTERIOR WALLS ARE MISSING, EXPOSING INTERIOR TO THE ELEMENTS.
FOUNDATION HAS THE BEAM SITTING ON GRADE.
THE INTERIOR IS GUTTED, EXPOSING THE STUD AND IS FULL OF TRACTION DEBRIS, WHICH IS A INGRESS AND EGRESS CONCERN.
ACCESSORY ONE IS A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE THAT HAS NO ROOF, NO WALLS, AND HAS THE STUDS EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS.
THE FOUNDATION IS BRICK ON GRADE.
BRICKS ARE SINKING INTO THE GRADE ACCESSORY.
TWO IS A SINGLE STORY STRUCTURE WITH CORRUGATED METAL THAT IS DETERIORATED AND LIFTING FROM THE DECKING.
WALLS ARE STUCCO AND BROKEN ON ONE SIDE, PATCHED UP WITH WOOD PANELS.
FOUNDATION IS A BRICK ON GRADE.
MOVING ONTO THE PHOTOS AND THIS
[02:05:01]
PHOTO HERE, THIS IS THE, GONNA BE THE MAIN STRUCTURE, WHICH IS, AS YOU CAN SEE TOWARDS THE TOP, IT IS STARTING TO SHOW THE WOOD PANEL STARTING TO DETACH FROM THE, FROM THE MAIN STRUCTURE AT THIS MOMENT ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE.AND THIS PHOTO HERE IS GONNA BE THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA THAT THE CORRUGATED METAL ON THE ROOF IS STARTING TO RUST AND THERE ARE SEWING SIGNS CATCHING A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO GET THE PHOTO.
AND ALSO THAT THE EXTERIOR WALL IS COMPLETELY GONE, WHICH THE OWNER OR THE, UH, THE DAUGHTER, THE FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE, HAVE, ARE, ARE SHOWING THAT THEY BOTH PUT OUT TARPS TO HELP TRY TO COVER UP THE EXTERIOR, THE HOLES IN THE WALLS OUTSIDE SHOWING THAT THERE'S, THERE IS A LARGE GAP OF NO EXTERIOR PANEL COVERING.
THE, THE FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE CLOSE, UH, FOOT THE TARP TO COVER UP THE, THE HOLE, THE EXTERIOR WALL AS WELL.
AGAIN, AGAIN WITH THE ROOF SYSTEM SHOWING THE RUSTY, UH, OF THE CORRUGATED METAL.
GOING ONTO THE NEXT SLIDE, THIS IS THE ROUTE ELEVATION.
IT'S A CLOSER VIEW SHOWING THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS INSIDE, AS WELL AS WHAT THE FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE DONE TO TRY TO COVER UP THE WALL.
THE, THE HOLE IN THE WALL, WHICH IS USING SOME KIND OF TARPING MATERIAL AT THIS MOMENT.
AND A CLOSER PICTURE HERE ON THE, TOWARDS THE FRONT, UH, RIGHT ELEVATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY PUT SOME PLYWOOD UP.
AND AGAIN, JUST THE, THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE GOING INSIDE IS GONNA START DETERIORATING THE INTERIOR WOOD MEMBERS AS WELL.
THIS PHOTO HERE IS GONNA BE THE REAR.
THE DECKING IS STARTING TO DETERIORATE.
DETACH STARTING TO FALL TOWARDS THE, TOWARDS THE REAR.
THE TARP IS ALREADY STARTING TO COME OFF AS WELL.
AND THE WOOD MEMBERS ARE SHOWING WATER DAMAGE AS WELL AS DETERIORATION.
UH, CLOSER VIEW OF UNDERNEATH.
AGAIN, THERE IS WATER DAMAGE UNDERNEATH WITH THE AMOUNT.
AND TO ALSO SHOW THAT THERE'S A LOT, A LOT OF DEBRIS, NOT JUST INSIDE, BUT AS WELL AS SURROUNDING THE BUILDING.
UH, CLOSER VIEW TOWARDS THE GRADE AND THE EXTERIOR WALL.
THEY'RE STARTING TO DETACH BECAUSE OF THE THINKING OF THE, OF THE STRUCTURE.
GOING INSIDE, YOU SEE HOW MUCH DEBRIS THERE IS INSIDE, WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GO MANEUVER THROUGH THE STRUCTURE.
YOU'LL ALSO SEE THAT RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THIS PHOTO, THAT THERE ARE SOME TWO BY FOURS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED UP UNSURE IF IT WAS A I MEMBER OR IF IT WAS VAGRANT THAT WERE GOING IN THERE.
UH, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE VAGRANT HAD BEEN GOING INSIDE THE STRUCTURE THAT THEY'RE USING.
SOMEONE HAS PLACED THOSE TWO BY FOURS FOR SUPPORTING THE STRUCTURE IN THAT AREA AS WELL AS THE TWO BY FOUR ON THE LEFT SIDE.
THAT LOOKS FAIRLY NEW COMPARED TO THE OTHER WOOD MEMBERS AS WELL.
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST SHOWING YOU AN IDEA OF HOW HIGH THE DEBRIS IS, WHERE IT'S COMING UP TO THE CEILING JOIST, AND A BETTER IDEA OF WHERE THE, THAT WILL SUPPORT TWO BY FOURS ARE LOCATED AT THE STRUCTURE AND WHERE THEY'RE PLACED AT.
UH, AGAIN, A DIFFERENT ANGLE FOR THE OTHER TWO BY FOUR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
UH, TOWARDS THE REAR TAKING A PHOTO OF THE, TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, THE OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER IDEA OF HOW MUCH ACCUMULATION OF DEBRIS THAT INSIDE THE STRUCTURE.
IN THIS PHOTO HERE, I WAS TRYING TO GET, WE'RE TRYING TO GET A GOOD PICTURE OF THE GRADE TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA THAT THE FOUNDATION IS NOW RESTING ON GRADE IN CERTAIN AREAS.
THE DEBRIS IS ACTUALLY ON THE GRADE AS WELL IN THIS PHOTO.
SEE DIRT, THOSE LITTLE PRACTICES WITH THE, THE DEBRIS.
SO THIS IS GONNA BE THE FIRST ACCESSORY.
THE WOOD MEMBERS ARE EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS WHICH ARE STARTING TO DETERIORATE AND ROTTEN.
YOU'LL SEE THAT THE DECKING HAS WATER DAMAGE, WHICH IS ALSO STARTING TO DETERIORATE.
IT'S ALSO GONNA SHOW THAT THERE'S NO EXTERIOR WALL COVERING THE STRUCTURE AS WELL.
JUST SHOWING YOU THE PHOTO HERE OF THE ROOF SYSTEM, AGAIN WITH THE DECKING THAT'S STARTING TO DETERIORATE WITH THE WATER DAMAGE.
THE SUBFLOOR IS STARTING TO AS WELL DETERIORATE, UH, TO ALSO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE THE, THE BRICKS ARE AT AND WHERE THE FOUNDATION IS RESTING.
WHERE ABOUT TO START RESTING ON GRADE AT THIS MOMENT,
[02:10:01]
TOWARDS THE RIGHT OF THE ELEVATION.UH, RIGHT ELEVATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE DECKING IS ALREADY STARTING TO COLLAPSE DUE TO DETERIORATION AND ROTTING OF THE ELEMENT.
MOVING ON TO THE THIRD ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
THAT'D BE THE FRONT ELEVATION SHOWING THAT THE CORRUGATED METAL IS STARTING TO DETACH FROM THE STRUCTURE AS WELL.
UH, THERE ARE SOME KIND OF RUSTING ON THE CORRUGATED METAL WITH THE WOOD MEMBERS AS WELL, SHOWING SIGNS OF WATER DAMAGE ON THE RIGHT ELEVATION.
IN THIS PHOTO, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE, THAT SOMEONE HAS PLACED CORRUGATED METAL ON THE EXTERIOR WALL AS WELL AS, UM, SOME ROTTING OUT PLYWOOD AS WELL FOR THE WALL.
I CAN'T JUST GIVE YOU AN IDEA WHERE THE, WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE CORRUGATED METAL.
WE'RE STARTING TO ROT THE, IT'S ALSO GONNA SHOW WHERE THE CORRUGATED METAL AND THE STUFF THE WALL CONNECT, THE STUFF WAS ACTUALLY STARTING TO BE, STARTING TO BREAK APART AND SHOWING THAT IT'S DAMAGED AS WELL.
TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE STRUCTURE, YOU'LL SEE WHERE THEY DIDN'T FINISH THE COVERING OF THE, THE RIGHT ELEVATION WALL.
JUST TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE SIDE WHERE THE STUFF HAS TO FALLEN OR COLLAPSED AT ONE POINT IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE AT ONE POINT SOMEONE PUT THAT, THAT FOUR BY FOUR WITH A TWO BY FOUR TO HELP SUPPORT THE
THIS IS JUST A PHOTO OF THE REAR ELEVATION AGAIN.
WELL, UM, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET PHOTOS OF THE INTERIOR 'CAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS THAT WAS INSIDE OF THAT STRUCTURE.
I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET THE PHOTOS OF THE EXTERIOR.
UH, THIS IS JUST A PHOTO OF THE LEFT OF THE PATIENT.

UH, CONDUCTOR ROLL CALL PLEASE.
MR. ZUNIGA? THANK YOU MS. RODRIGUEZ.
WHAT'S THE OF THE VOTE OF NINE TO ZERO? THE MOTION FOR A 30 DAY DEMOLITION PASSES FOR BOTH OF NINE TO ZERO.
UH, DURING THE ADMINIS, UH, DURING THE ACTUAL PRESENTATIONS,
[Administrative Items]
WE HAD A DISCUSSION ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 88 42, UH, TROY, UH, BASICALLY THE QUESTION WAS HOW OR WHY DOES IT TAKE AS LONG AS IT DID TO BRING THE CASE TO US? UH, SO THAT THE QUESTION PRESENTED TO STAFF.ANY COMMENTS OR DISCUSSION? I, I WOULD LIKE TO, THIS IS LEGAL.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING AND GO TO BAT A LITTLE BIT FOR, FOR STAFF.
I I DO WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND THAT AS SOON AS, UH, C HIT STAFF WAS DEPLOYED TO DO OTHER THINGS OTHER THAN JUST, UH, THEIR USUAL DAILY ROUTINE, UM, WHEREAS SOME OF 'EM WERE ASSIGNED TO THE EMERGENCY DECLARATION TEAM, UH, SOME OF 'EM WERE HAVING TO GO OUT THERE AND, UH, COME IN CONTACT WITH PERSONS, UH, TO MAKE SURE, UH, THAT THE EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS WERE ABIDED BY.
SO, UM, I I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU GUYS TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION, UM, WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY A PROPERTY HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT.
I MEAN, WE JUST, I THINK WE STARTED BACK UP.
UH, LET ME GET, I THINK WE STARTED BACK UP IN, YOU KNOW, I'D SAY MAYBE MAY, UM, MAY OR JUNE.
UM, SO WHILE I, I, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY IT, IT SEEMS LIKE SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES ARE TAKEN FOREVER.
UM, I CAN TELL YOU, AND WE'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, AND EVERYBODY THAT I'VE TRAINED, B S B IS THE LAST STOP.
IF CODE IS BRINGING PROPERTIES TO YOU GUYS, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'VE RUN OUTTA OPTIONS.
AND SO, UH, IF WE ARE, IF THEY ARE TAKING A WHILE ON A PROPERTY, IT MIGHT BE, THERE'S, THERE'S A PLETHORA OF REASONS, BUT IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH OR TRYING TO PREVENT BRINGING THIS PROPERTY TO B S P BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT IF THERE'S NOT SOMEONE THAT'S GONNA ATTEST TO THAT PROPERTY AND BRING INFORMATION TO, AND, AND PROOF THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO, TO REPAIR IT, UH, THERE'S THERE'S NOT MUCH THAT YOU GUYS CAN DO.
SO I, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION FROM 2017 TO, TO NOW, BUT I ALSO HOPE THAT YOU GUYS KIND OF UNDERSTAND THERE'S, I I, I KNOW THERE'S A PLETHORA OF REASONS AS TO WHY CERTAIN PROPERTIES DON'T GET TO US IMMEDIATELY.
AND HONESTLY, S B IS THE LAST PLACE A PROPERTY'S COMING TO.
IT'S THE CABOOSE OF THE ENTIRE TRAIN.
I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND ALL OF THAT.
AND JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS WHY I ASK THAT MOVE TO ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES, UH, WHEN THERE'S, WHEN THERE'S DISCUSSION GOING ON THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY BEARING ON OUR ABILITY TO MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY, UH, THAT'S THE REASON WHY I PUSH IT TO ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES.
UH, SO IT WASN'T THAT I WAS TRYING TO CUT THE CONVERSATION SHORT, IT'S JUST AN ISSUE THAT I, IT REALLY DID NOT HAVE A BEARING ON OUR ABILITY TO DECIDE WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO WITH THAT PROPERTY.
UH, SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I MADE THAT MOVE? DEFINITELY.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ISSUE? I'M SORRY, I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD ERIC SAID.
IT SOUNDED LIKE A BUSTED SPEAKER OR SOMETHING, EITHER ON MY END OR HIS END.
WHAT, WHAT DID HE SAY? UH, I UNDERSTOOD ALL OF IT REAL WELL.
BASICALLY WHAT HE SAID WAS, UH, UH, WHEN COVID ACTUALLY HIT THE, UH, CODE STAFF WOUND UP WITH BRAND NEW ASSIGNMENTS IN ADDITION TO THE PROPERTY ASSIGNMENTS THAT THEY WOULD NORMALLY HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE ASSIGNMENTS THEY HAD, UH, THAT BASICALLY THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTUALLY SEEING THAT BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE WERE ABIDING BY THE DIRECTIVES OF THE GOVERNOR.
[02:20:01]
UH, SO IT'S IT'S WAY BEYOND OUR NORMAL THOUGHT EXPECTATION THAT A CODE OFFICER WOULD BE REQUIRED TO MAKE, UH, INSPECTIONS OR REVIEWS OR VISITS WITH BUSINESSES TO VERIFY THAT THEY WERE CONDUCTING CODE OFFICERS.AND ERIC, IF I'VE MISREPRESENTED ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE SAID, UH, YOU MIGHT WANNA TRY AGAIN AND I'LL, I'LL TRANSLATE BECAUSE YOU, YOU, FOR SOME REASON THEY, THE MICS ARE NOT WORKING REAL WELL.
YOU DID IT PERFECTLY AND I APOLOGIZE IF, IF YOU GUYS CAN'T HEAR ME.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? I CAN HEAR YOU, BUT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A BUSTED, A BUSTED SPEAKER.
YOU KNOW HOW THINGS SOUND WHEN YOU TALK IN A BUSTED SPEAKER.
IT SOUNDS VERY, THAT'S WHAT I'M HAVING.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ON MY END OR YOUR END, MAYBE ON YOUR END, EVELYN, BECAUSE I HEAR IT SCREAM WELL, DOES ANYBODY ELSE THE SAME PROBLEM EVAN'S HAVING? I HEAR HIM.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET SOME NEW SPEAKERS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S ON YOUR END, EVELYN.
OKAY, SO, SO WHAT, WHAT WERE YOU SAYING NOW ABOUT THE, THE CODE OFFICERS ARE EXPECTED TO DO BUSINESS, UM, VISITS TO FIND OUT IF THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNOR'S LAWS? IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE SAYING? YES, THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING.
UH, UH, ERIC DIDN'T SAY QUITE THE SAME WAY, BUT I SAID IT BASED ON ACTUAL, UH, WELL, ACTUALLY NOT EVEN STRICT.
UH, ERIC, IF YOU WANNA TRY AGAIN, SEE IF YOU CAN PICK UP ANY OF THAT.
WHAT I WAS SAYING IS I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION THAT SOME OF YOU MIGHT HAVE WITH WANTING TO KNOW HOW LONG IT, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR THESE PROPERTIES TO COME TO YOU? I DO WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
AS I WAS SAYING, B S B IS THE LAST LINE.
IT IS, IT'S THE END OF THE CABOOSE, IT'S THE END OF THE TRAIN.
IF A PROPERTY IS COMING TO YOU, IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HAS WORKED.
SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT CODE TO TRY TO WORK ON THESE CASES.
WE WANT CODE TO TRY TO WORK WITH THE OWNERS AND IF THE, YOU KNOW, GIVING THEM A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO GET THEIR FINANCES OR WHAT HAVE YOU IN PLACE, THAT'S GREAT BECAUSE AS SOON AS THEY COME TO THE BOARD CODE'S NO LONGER IN CODE CODE'S, NO LONGER IN CHARGE, CODE DOESN'T GET TO DECIDE.
THIS BOARD MAKES THE DECISIONS IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT WE HAD TO DEAL WITH COVID.
SO, UM, IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME FOR US TO GET BIT OF TIME FOR US TO GET BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS.
AND THIS IS PROBABLY WHY IT'S TAKING CODE LONGER TO BRING PROPERTIES.
WHY THERE ARE SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE SITTING THERE FOR A WHILE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN BROUGHT.
EVELYN, DID YOU, DID YOU GET THAT? I THINK I DID.
YOU WERE JUST KIND OF EXPLAINING WHY IT'S TAKEN THE PROPERTY SO LONG TO REACH US, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.
I I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROVIDING THAT CONTEXT.
THAT IS, UM, IT, IT'S GOOD TO KNOW AND IT'S EASY TO FORGET, UH, TO SITTING IN THIS POSITION.
I MISS HANGING OUT WITH THE GUYS.
I CAN'T WAIT TILL WE GET IN PERSON AGAIN.
CAN YOU TYPE THAT AND DOUBLE, UH, UH, SPACES AND UH, SEND IT TO US?
YES, BUT HOLD YOUR BREATH THAT IT'S GONNA HAPPEN TODAY.
MR. ZUNIGA, DO YOU WANT ME TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND, AND JUST, I DON'T KNOW, JUST SHAKE YOU OR SOMETHING? ARE YOU BEING BAD TODAY?
WE'LL SEE THE TEENTH THE 19TH.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES THAT THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS AT THIS TIME? NOT AT ALL.
OTHER THAN OUR, OTHER THAN OUR MEETING COMING UP ON THE 19TH, THE MEETING COMING UP ON THE 19TH IS A FULL BOARD MEETING.
EVERYBODY IS GONNA BE HOPEFUL GOING LINE WITH THIS BECAUSE THERE'S GONNA BE SOME VERY GOOD PRESENTATIONS YES.
TO HELP US UNDERSTAND WHY DID WE GET PRESENTATIONS THEMSELVES, ET CETERA.
ERIC, DON'T TAKE OFF TOO MANY CLOTHES.
WE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD PRESENTATIONS COMING UP.
PLEASE BLOCK YOUR, YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE 19TH.
UH, THE STAFF HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR INPUT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE PORTION? NO, WE DO NOT.
THEN WITHOUT OBJECTION, WE ARE ADJOURNED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING
