Good afternoon, everyone.

I would like to call to order our public health and safety standing committee for the purposes of our dangerous buildings hearings for today, Monday, October 20th, 2025.

May the clerk please call the roll.

Councilmember Gabriella Santiago Romero.

Present.

Councilmember Scott Benson.

Councilmember Mary Waters.

Member Waters did indicate that she would be absent, so her absence is excused.

Clerk has noted.

Madam Chair, you have a quorum present.

Thank you, Madam Clerk, given a quorum.

We'll go right into the hearings for today.

For folks that are online or joining us in person, you are here at our dangerous buildings hearings.

We will get started shortly after we hear introductions from the administration, followed by our legislative policy division explaining the purposes of these hearings.

I'll go over what to expect once we've heard from the administration and from LPD to the administration.

And request a deferral or demolition order.

This means that you must do the following.

One, provide proof of ownership and interest in the property.

Two, pay all required inspection fees.

Three, secure all openings on your building from trespass and the elements and remove all exterior debris, abandoned vehicles, overgrowth, etc.

Four, make or pay arrangements regarding any delinquent city taxes.

Five, obtain the necessary permits to bring your building into compliance with all applicable codes.

And six, submit uh completed deferral application.

Thank you to the administration LPD.

Thank you, madam chair.

In addition to the important information just shared by the representative of the administration about the nature and potential consequences of these hearings, people should be aware these are legally required.

Excuse me.

Administrative appeals hearings from previous informal hearings with the Department of Building Safety Engineering and Environment, B seed.

These are the legally required hearings for all the buildings on today's dangerous buildings list in order to demolish them or for the owners to oppose demolition.

This is the committee's opportunity as required by law to either approve the demolition or reject it to assist the committee in making this determination and to provide due process.

Representatives of BC that are here with the files, inspection reports, photos, and other data for these hearings.

Thank you.

I will now turn it over for BC to introduce themselves, beginning with our not inspector.

Mr.

Patel.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

My name is Dilip Portel.

I'm the assistant at the property maintenance BC.

Simon Lasseter, Dangerous Buildings Clerk.

Thank you both for being here.

And for the public that are that may be online, we will now begin our hearings.

So if you are here for a hearing, please raise your hand now.

I do not see any folks here in person.

We have a list of around 70 properties on our agenda for today.

I will share that usually we have anywhere from 20 to 40 people that call in for these hearings.

I try to keep them short and sweet and to the points.

So again, these are hearings regarding uh dangerous buildings.

And if you are here and you would like to save your property from demolition, we are going to ask you what are your plans.

We are going to see whether or not the house can be salvaged or if it's too dangerous and we need to move forward demolition.

And if we agree to demolition, we can have that conversation when we get there.

I try to keep these conversations to about five minutes or less.

And after a while, you will you will get the cadence of the questions.

Do we have raised and who do we have first?

Madam Chair, there are currently 11 hands raised.

The first caller being Danielle Wandsley, followed by Camila Wallet.

Danielle, followed by Camila.

I'm going to ask everyone to please stay tuned and listen for your name and listen to the person that is going to be next.

So we're going to start with Danielle first, followed by Camila.

Danielle, can you hear us?

Yes, can you hear me?

Yes, we can hear you.

Danielle, what's the property you're calling us about?

5937 Cooper Street.

This is a follow-up from last month.

I don't see this.

Uh Mr.

Patel.

Uh thank you, Madam Ted.

Yes, we did not bring that one up here.

Uh 5937 Cooper Street.

We have the email.

Uh received from the property owner.

Uh, and we are reviewing that.

So that's what we did and bring it up.

Yeah.

Understood.

So Danielle, thank you for calling in, but your property is not on our hearings for today.

Um, and it sounds like you are still the phone is it's breaking up really bad.

I can barely okay.

So we can hear you.

And if you can't hear me, wonder if you are in a place with good signal or not.

Okay.

So your property is not on our list today.

Uh, Mr.

Patel just mentioned that he's working with you.

They're reviewing the information that you sent.

Um, but you should just uh continue to communicate with B seed regarding your property.

It is not on the on the uh dangerous buildings list today for demolition.

So I'm assuming that B seed is still working with you uh to remove it uh from the list, but currently right now it's not on the list, okay.

Okay, so do I just follow up with him via email or do I just wait to hear something back?

Um I would follow up with them if you don't hear back from them later this week, but they have received your information that's being reviewed.

Thank you so much.

Have a good day, guys.

No problem.

Thank you.

We will hear now from Camila Camilla.

If I'm pronouncing it, please correct me.

If I'm pronouncing it wrong, please correct me.

Followed by Madam Chair, we do have an in-person public uh speak.

Uh hello, good afternoon.

Sir, are you here for the dangerous buildings hearings?

What's your name?

Amir, I'm gonna have you follow Camilla.

So if you don't mind, you're next, but we're gonna hear from Camilla first.

Can you hear us?

Yes.

All right, ma'am.

Which property are you calling us about?

Uh South me um four nine zero zero South Martindale.

I don't believe this is Mr.

Patel.

Madam Chair, yeah.

This is also the previous hearing, and we did receive the email uh from property on around four nine zero zero south martindale.

Uh and we are trying to work with that.

They have to they have to do the work on a roof.

Portion of the roof has damaged, and uh that's what we are waiting on there.

Uh so uh yeah, we did receive the response from them.

Okay, so Camilla, as Mr.

Patel just mentioned, they are also still working with you regarding your property.

Um, and there are still needs for repairs for the roof or to um to enclose your roof.

So if you wouldn't mind.

The last meeting you told me all the tarp it, and I I did I I have it tarped.

All right, so I'm gonna go to the next caller who's here in person, and I'm gonna ask that you continue to work with B-Seed.

Um, this this section here is only for folks um that are on the list today who need help today.

Um, and to our two previous callers, we've helped you in the past, and you're still just working with BCE currently.

So please continue to to to work with them.

Thank you for the work that you're doing.

Um, but the the part of the process where you are right now is working with B seed one-on-one to make those changes to your property.

So, should I stay on the phone call or I can leave?

I'm pretty late.

If it's TARP's, BC is going to review that and give you their notes once they do.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh uh Almir make sure your microphone turns green.

Okay, which property are you here to discuss?

Um seven five nine one Santa Rosa says withdrawn.

Oh, so then that means that you have one seven five one seven five nine one.

Yes.

All right, so that means that you have made the repairs needed to your property to remove it from the dangerous buildings list.

Mr.

Patel, any notes?

Uh thank you, madam chair.

Uh I'm yeah, I'm glad the property owner is responding to this.

Uh it is part MS property, and we would like to see the uh repair permit uh near future on that.

Okay, so you have uh boarded up your property.

They're asking when you're ready to make the repairs to pull the permits so that they know the repairs are being made.

Okay, no problem.

We plan on starting within next month.

So okay, awesome.

Well, good luck.

Uh you're all set for today.

Okay, thank you.

All right, thank you.

Have a blessed day, of course.

Who do we have next?

Next, we have Jacqueline Turner, followed by Tiffany.

Jacqueline Turner Turner, followed by Tiffany.

Jacqueline, can you hear me?

Yes, I can.

Awesome.

Jacqueline, which property are you calling us about?

2063 Taylor Street.

2063 Taylor Street.

This is the fourth property under the 15th block.

Uh Jacqueline, this property has also been removed, uh, meaning that you have uh address the issues to this property.

Mr.

Patel, any notes?

Um Madam Chair, thank you.

No, uh they do have the permit to repair, so we are good with uh yeah, this particular property.

Okay, wonderful.

Thank you, Jacqueline.

Is your motion to concur?

Uh excuse me.

Oh uh no, you're all set, Jacqueline.

Uh to our vice chair, is there a motion to concur with Santa Rosa and Taylor?

Uh hearing no objections, we agree to withdraw one seven five ninety-one Santa Rosa and two zero sixty-three tailor from the dangerous buildings list.

Uh so Jacqueline, this has been removed.

You are all set.

Do you have any questions for us?

Um, thank you.

No, thank you.

All right, thank you.

Have a blessed day.

Tiffany, you're next followed by Lynn Marie Adams.

Followed by Lynn Marie.

Tiffany, can you hear me?

Hi.

Hi, Tiffany.

Which property are you calling us about?

6043 Beagle Street.

I also don't see this.

Madam Chair, this one also from the last uh previous year, I think 6043 Beagle Street.

Uh we did receive the received the email from the property owner property did got the secure uh also the roof.

The M is has been tied been put up.

Uh we would like to see the that roof get uh repaired soon.

But made up and repair on that roof.

Okay, thank you.

Mr.

Patel, this is the third or fourth person now though.

So did they receive other notification, or why are we are they just really on top of it and they're just making sure that they're not on this list again today, or yeah, I think the the last hearing uh we I think we probably had said that you know uh we are returning to the BC and uh come back, you know, okay on today's uh hearing.

Okay, but uh yeah, we did not uh we tried to work with them and try to get it through.

Okay, just to confirm, Tiffany.

You didn't receive a notification to join us today, right?

I'm assuming you're just doing your due diligence and making sure that that your property is not on the list for today.

Um right, so I'm returning today because the last hearing I still had um some read some things that I had to get done, which I've uh I completed everything.

Um that's why I I was returning today.

Okay, understood.

Thank you.

Um, and as as you've heard, um you're not on the list for today, so just continue to work with B seed.

Um, Mr.

Patel mentioned uh that you are doing some work to the property now.

Um and that they still need to see something else.

I would just say in communication via email with the with B seed.

Um, I would ask them if there's anything else that you have to do, and then just continue to email and call the departments.

Um, because if you continue to do that work once they are satisfied, uh you shouldn't see yourself back into these meetings anymore.

You would just have to be in communication with BC.

Okay, um, so because I know that they were like really they really wanted me to tarp the roof and get that one um part of the second the first roof removed, which I got that removed, and I also got it tarped, and so now he's saying that you know they want the roof repair soon.

Um you know, and I'm pretty sure they're looking at the pictures.

It's been a lot for me to get done.

So I'm not gonna be able to get the roof done right away, but I was able to get it tarped up pretty good.

Um, but I will most definitely continue to follow up with them.

Okay, Tiffany, thank you.

Um, and then I I I would share with them that um if you've tarped, if you've secured, if they're asking for repairs, I would tell them I can't right now.

Um if they want you to certify your property as vacant, I would suggest that.

I I think that may cost like about a hundred dollars uh to to certify your property as vacants, uh, but that way the city knows that that it is it it is currently being um managed by by someone that that is being responsible for it.

Um but I hear you.

If if you can't repair the whole house right now, if it's secured, if it's tarped, continue to work with BC to make sure that it's safe um and and to give you some time uh to to get what you need to make those repairs.

Thank you so much.

No problem, Tiffany.

Good luck.

We will now hear from Lynn Marie, followed by Shahida Mohammed, followed by Shahita.

Lynn, can you hear us?

Yes, I can.

Uh, this is attorney uh Anthony Adams representing uh Lynn Marine Adams Lucy Conservator for the property owner uh at the address one three three two zero will shire a drive in Detroit, Michigan.

All right, good afternoon attorney.

This property has also been withdrawn.

This is the first property under the sixteenth block, um, meaning that it has been uh deemed no longer dangerous.

Uh do you have any questions for us?

Uh no, I don't know.

I'm just indicating that we should be pulling uh permits uh this week.

We've been in consultation with the insurance company uh on this matter.

We have a scope of work that's prepared and a licensed contractor who will move forward and and do the work uh as required.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

All right.

All right, is there a motion to concur?

Motion hearing no objections, we objections, we agree to withdraw one three three two zero will shire.

We will hear now from Shahita followed by, and again, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Followed by Sean, followed by Sean.

Shaheda.

Yes.

Uh which property are you calling us about?

Three two nine five Glendale Street.

Three two ninety-five Glindale.

This is the sixth property under the 11th block.

This is being ordered demolished.

We are going to turn it over to B seed to let us know why they are ordering this demolished while they pull up that information.

Ma'am, are you looking to demolish or to keep your property?

I'm looking to keep my property.

Okay.

Uh then we're gonna hear from B seed what work needs to be done in order to not deem the property dangerous, and Shahida, thank you for your patience.

We're just waiting for BC to pull up their information.

And again, two folks listening in.

We're still here, just gathering our notes.

Mr.

Patel.

Thank you, uh Chair.

Uh sorry about that.

I had to re-log in and uh system.

Uh so uh we had inspected this property on 923, 2025, uh for this year.

We found the two-story brick, uh single family dwelling, we're gonna open two element at the upper window at the front and site.

You are not maintaining dwelling is not maintaining, and that's what we are front of this committee.

Okay, so the window openings, and then you mentioned overgrowth.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

You mentioned that you're looking to keep your property, correct?

Yes.

And um, would you be able to take care of the openings uh by boarding up the windows?

I believe there's a door in the back and taking care of the overgrowth.

Yes.

Well, all the doors are closed.

The back porch, that door is covered.

So and I can't see from here, it just looks like uh a hole, but that is covered, Mr.

Patel, that back door?

Yes, that's covered.

Oh, that back porch is covered, got it.

Okay.

So we're really looking at the windows and the overgrowth.

Um, and I don't believe we have another hearing for this year, do we?

We have one more November 17th.

Okay, so Shita, you mentioned that you can take care of the the openings and the overgrowth.

Is that something that you can get done over the next few weeks?

Something that you can get done before November 17th?

Yes.

Okay.

Um Vice Chair, any questions for this property?

Uh no.

Okay.

Well, if not, um this looks structured enough, Shakita.

Are you looking to to move into the property, fix it, sell it?

Well, I had a house fire on July 9th.

Okay.

Which is the reason why the window is out there.

And I am currently um looking for contractors.

I've got approved to for to get the work done.

Um, so I'm just looking for contractors.

Okay.

Uh so while you do that, if you wouldn't mind securing the property for us, um, then you should be offset to continue that work.

Um I would be happy if there's a motion to send this back to B seat until November 17th to give you that time.

Motion discussion.

Vice Chair.

Does the applicant live in this home?

I don't uh she does you don't do you live in this property or or where do you stay?

I live there before the fire.

Right now I'm homeless.

Okay.

So if she lived there before the fire, is this the dangerous buildings or in supply that that's her primary residence?

Mr.

Patel.

Uh through Madam Chair.

Uh yeah, the property if it's fall under the condition, it does apply whether it was the primary or not.

Right now it's property is vacant.

So my understanding is the dangerous buildings, it does not apply if that's your primary if you live there.

Uh you're still LPD.

LPD?

Yeah, yeah, if if you actually live there, but if you formerly lived there until the fire, you don't actually live there.

And it's not a question of primary residence or secondary residence, whether the person lives there or not.

So as I understand the facts when she said she's not living there now.

Vice Chair, I understood it as uh uh the property being uh occupied.

So whether it be the property owner themselves or they're renting it to someone or somebody living there.

Okay.

I mean, if this is my primary residence and I'm now not occupying it because of a house fire, then the city says I have open dangerous property.

I mean that's a different circumstance for me just walking away and going someplace else and leaving the house open and dangerous.

Since that sands a fire, I do live here.

But if that's the law department's interpretation, or I will be returning.

Yes.

So then I guess here's a question.

Are do you still have any of your items there?

Do you return to the home on a regular basis to manage or maintain yourself or your family?

I do still have still have items there.

Do you return to the home?

I do.

How often?

Um two to three times a week.

In my interpretation, that would still be a home that's occupied by that person.

They just don't have a condition which makes it optimal to live there, but they still have items there, they still return there.

I I would dispute that this home is not currently occupied by the resident.

But I'm not an attorney.

And these microphones are extraordinarily loud.

I'll just say that.

Um I would like to I I do believe, especially after hearing um that you are housed insecure now.

Um I think there should be a connection made made with HRD.

Um, I wonder if there are any resources available that you might qualify for for home repair um if this is your primary residence.

But I I think um vice chair, we can send this back to B seed.

Um, the immediate repairs that have to be made or the uh things that have to be done in the immediate, I think can't be done.

It's just the making sure that she can safely go back to her home.

Um Madam Chair discussion.

Yes.

I just don't think this belongs here just based on the fact that she still utilizes the property.

The only reason that she's not there daily is because of the fire.

What I'm hearing.

And then in the past, if you live in a home, no matter what condition it is, it does not come before this body if it is your residence.

That's how we've done in the past, and maybe we we have changed or the ordinance has been reinterpreted, but it could be the worst condition home.

But if you live there, it has not been it's not been open to demolition.

I'll say that.

We have not taken away anybody's property rights, no matter what the condition of the home is, if they live here, and some of our residents live in homes that you may not consider habitable, but they live there.

So do we remove this?

Uh ask HRD to help.

Um HRD help, yes, no matter what.

But then I would just in a lot of apartments in here today.

Just what should the interpretation be here?

Since she continues to go back to the space, she has her belongings that are still stored there, and she's there two, three days a week.

I mean, has she abandoned the use or we can ask the law departments?

Um this is for Ray, and some not sure if anyone's listening from now from the law department, but that's a question that we can ask for the interpretation in in what we should follow as far as primary home residence or you know, if you're living there or not, because we're now it sounds like she is not.

She is going to the home uh for her for her her things.

Um, but it sounds like this needs to be removed and and connected with HRD.

Um, really, especially right now, ma'am, if if if you're saying that that you're not living in in in this property.

Um does that work for you.

Um, so what we would do is we would still ask that you please uh it is still your responsibility to make sure that the house is secured.

Um so securing the windows, um any uh taking taking care of the overgrowth um that might be at the property, um, but then what we'll do is I'm gonna ask HRD to connect with you to see how we can get you back into your home.

Um, because I I I do have issues hearing that after your your fire, you are now homeless.

Um is that is that okay with you, ma'am, or would you like to just move forward uh without us trying to to support you and looking for resources?

What would you like to do?

I I would like to support okay.

So what we'll do is um vice chair, do you send this back to BC to remove it from the list?

So we can send it back to BC pending a further determination in terms of texting of BC, let them do the work to see if it actually belongs here.

I believe it's gonna be a legal interpretation in this situation.

If it comes back, then we know that they did not concur with our thoughts here.

But if it doesn't come back, then we know that they did.

Okay, so there's been a motion to send this property back to B seed.

Hearing no objections, Glinda will be sent back to B seed.

We will be asking HRD, so to the administration, if you can help us ask uh HRD to reach out to the property owner of 3295 Glendale.

And then Shahida, you should hear from someone from the um housing and revitalization departments, um, and also from BC just to ask you more questions about your property um and to see uh what kind of help uh you can receive.

Also, I'm gonna share our office email with you if you have anything to drop down this with okay.

And let me know when you're ready.

I'm ready.

So the email is council member C O U N C I L M E M B E R Council Member Gabriela, G-A-B-R-I-E-L A.

At Detroit Mi.gov.

Um repeat the last part.

Detroit M I as in Michigan dot gov as in government.

And the email again reads Council Member Gabriela.

If you don't hear from anyone by the end of this week, um give us a send us an email and we'll see how we can help.

Okay, thank you.

But in the immediate, uh, please do secure your property.

Uh be on the lookout for communications from HRD, and then let us know how it's going by the end of the week, okay?

Okay, thank you.

All right, thank you, ma'am.

Have a blessed day.

Thank you for calling in.

We will now hear from Sean, followed by discussion, madam chair.

Just want to verify who's going to ensure that the administration closes the loop on this.

Right now we've left it with them, but I don't know who is going to take that up and make sure that they're gonna so our office we can reach out to Anderson.

I mean, we're gonna say we'll close the loop.

What was that?

You all are gonna close the loop then.

We are going, so this is in D5.

Um, we just are gonna make sure that she gets the support that she needs, and then we can connect them to D5.

Closing the loop is followed by me.

Thank you.

Yep, okay, thank you.

Uh so Sean, after followed by Yvonne Murray Madden.

Followed by Yvonne.

Sean, can you hear us?

Yes, I can.

Which property are you calling us about?

14321 Ardmore Street.

One four three twenty-one Ardmore.

This is the fourth property under the eighth block.

This property is also being ordered demolished.

We're gonna let BC let us know as to why.

Sean, are you looking to keep or demolish?

I'm looking to keep the property, um, but I'm actually in the process of selling it to another investor that's gonna fix it up.

Um, I was I called um the building department the other day, and they were saying they flagged it um initially because of the the the front door um board wasn't um sealed on the house um along with um the roof.

But um we're marketing the property through MLS.

So each day when we have an appointment, um the property manager goes over there to unlock the board and then goes back over there at five o'clock um to lock it back up.

So that must have been a day that we had uh a viewing um that it came over and it was unlocked.

But um we're looking to actually sell the property.

Now we do have a contract currently.

Um their inspection period is through the 24th, so we're hoping to close next week, um, as long as they don't pull out.

Um, but that's what we're doing currently, marketing the property to sell it.

Okay, well, thank you.

We'll let BC let us know if there's any other issues that need to be addressed.

Uh B seed.

Uh thank you, madam Chad.

Uh we heard inspector this profit on September 25th.

Do to talk to anybody for DC editing.

South and north side.

Uh the window, uh the door open.

Uh blight, uh dwelling is blighted and pass liberty, print anti cater lose and not secure, but Mrs.

Overgrowth and not maintained not as C Bon uh for this inspection.

Uh that's what we have front of this committee.

Thank you, Mr.

Patel.

Uh so Sean, um, will you be able to take care of the overgrowth that's around the property and to uh properly secure the openings?

Uh it does look like what what you're speaking of, it can be open and closed, but um they seem to be very insecure, and I think the biggest issue for the city is just if someone breaks in, starts a fire, um, creates just chaos in this abandoned building.

Uh, could you take care of the overgrowth and the openings?

Um I was paying for landscaping every two weeks for the front and the sides.

So the the landscaping should be okay.

Um got like every two weeks they come to me to to do the um that property.

Uh the front and the sides, anyway.

Um the the front door is permanently is it's sealed.

Um, like I said, it's sealed on a daily basis.

Um the only time it's unsealed is when we were having uh either the inspector or viewings for that day.

The um the windows upstairs we can actually close those.

That that's not a problem.

Um like I said, and we're looking to move um off the property through a sale and not not have it demolished.

Okay.

So make sure you check in with your landscapers to remove the debris.

Um you should be getting weekly pickup uh yard waste uh from your property if it's property stored.

Um and yes, uh securing the the windows is needed, um, and and just making sure that at the end of the day the door is secured as well.

Yes.

Um all of that will need to be done even as you're waiting to sell the property.

If you can get that done before November 17th, do you think that's possible?

Sure, that's not a problem.

Um like I said, the the um the landscaping should be fine.

Um guys done on a bi-weekly basis.

Um if there's debris, it is likely on the what you debris on the side, maybe is it way in the back somewhere, or it's kind of hard for me to see the picture.

They mentioned that they couldn't go to the back because there was so much debris.

So unfortunately, too, sometimes when buildings look abandoned or they are abandoned abandoned, um, they become spots for people to dump.

Um so that needs to also be um managed as well.

Um so have someone looked at that if not you.

Um that needs to be checked out as well.

Sure, no problem.

Okay.

Any other questions from our vice chair?

Vice Chair.

Thank you.

Um to yourself, sir.

This property, the taxpayer record is out of view for Georgia.

Is that where you're currently located?

Yes.

Okay, and how long have you all owned this property?

Uh several years.

I bought it from Wayne County um auction.

Okay, has they ever been occupied?

Not since I've owned it, no.

Okay.

So then my understanding is well, maybe you can educate me here.

So then is your plan to sell this to another um either homeowner or speculator, investor here?

Right, an investor that'll fix the property up because um I was pushed by um my land bank to actually either fix it up um right away or or sell it.

So they kind of pushed me to sell the property, so I've I've been marketing it on MLS to sell it um ever since.

Okay, so for three years it's set vacant.

Okay.

Um, can we go back to the photos?

You said two-week um landscaping, but it seems that it has leaves all over this all over the ground from last season.

Even not even this season.

Well, I don't I don't know about the the leaves, but they cut the grass on the front and sides that that's what they charge me for.

Okay.

Um, and so just leaf pickup is also a part of landscaping.

And so if you're leaving dead leaves that are there over a year, that's also a blighting influence.

Has this property received any blight tickets?

Do we know Mr.

Patel?

Yes.

Uh well, I'm sorry, he wants to hear me.

So it's received numerous blight tickets then for lack for poor maintenance.

Okay.

Okay.

And so it doesn't seem to be in a condition where it needs to be demolished, but something needs to happen.

I'm glad to hear that you're looking to sell it because three years of no movement on this property does no good for the residents of that neighborhood.

So I'm I'm glad to hear that there is a movement to sell it, but I will be less than supportive of this property if we see it come back and it's still in the same condition in November.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Uh Vice Chair.

Is there a motion to send this back to B seed?

Motion.

Hearing no objection, we will send one for three two one Ardmore back to B seed.

Uh Sean, please do take care of the overgrowth and the debris and secure the property and good luck with your sale.

Yeah, question.

Um, if it um if the sale happens to fall through, um, I just need to make sure to do I need to call back in next month, or do I need to just um deal with B seed and sending them updates um so far as showing them as secure and that the um the side has been cleared?

Um you would need to continue to make sure the property is clean and maintained and try to sell it as quickly as possible to somebody else.

That's what I'm doing.

That's what I have on MLS, and I've actually paid to put it on MLS and I didn't get an agent um initially.

I just paid paid um uh paid listing.

So I am okay.

Well, thank you, Sean.

Have a good rest of your day.

Thank you.

We will now hear from Yvonne followed by followed by Alma, followed by Alma.

Ivan, can you hear us?

Yvonne, you're up next.

Alma, you're gonna follow Yvonne.

Can you hear me?

Yes, Yvonne.

Okay, yes.

Um I'm uh speaking on behalf of Strategic Alliance Development Corporation.

We have uh interest in the property at 17601 Chester Street.

Um Michael Peterson may be on the call as well.

He's the owner.

Is there a Michael Peterson on the line?

Um there is a Michael the First online, Madam Chair.

Yvonne would that be the same Michael?

I'm not sure.

I'm the um I'm the licensed realtor for Strategic Alliance Development Corporation, and also have a personal interest in the property as well as one of the buyers.

All right, and so what I can share now because it does not sound like we're speaking to the owner.

Um, this property has been withdrawn, so it is not on the dangerous buildings list.

Um so I can share that.

And uh in if and when uh the owner calls in, we can discuss more, but just for your information, that is not going to be demolished.

We're we're looking at um moving forward with purchasing, hopefully this week, and that's why I'm speaking on behalf of what what our plans would be, but I'm glad it's withdrawn.

Okay, same.

Happy to hear you're looking to purchase.

Um, but it is it's it's it's safe currently.

So hopefully that goes well for you.

Um, but if there's nothing else, I'll move on to our next caller.

Okay.

Awesome.

Thank you.

All right, thank you.

Motion to concur, hearing no objections.

We agree to withdraw 17601 Chester.

We will now hear from Alma followed by Angela Bob Susantarski, uh, followed by Angela.

Alma, can you hear us?

Yes.

Uh my name is uh well, good afternoon, uh, Madam Chair, uh Vice Chair, Mr.

Patel and other parties.

Uh my name is Maximilian Schuford.

I'm the grandson uh to Alma Richard, who um is beside me, um, who's the property owner?

Wonderful.

What's the property?

Uh property is 7629 uh Dexter.

7629 Dexter.

This is the eighth property under the ninth block, has also been withdrawn.

We love when that happens.

Um, Max, that means the property is not in danger of being demolished.

Do you have any questions for us?

I don't.

That's wonderful news.

Thank you to all of you.

We appreciate your help.

Thank you in this procedure.

Thank you.

We appreciate it.

No problem, Mr.

Patel.

Any notes?

Uh thank you, Madam Chad.

Uh, yeah, we do have the property reckoning and secure.

Uh, but also we like to have the vacant property registration.

Uh that would help the property or not to keep up with the regular maintenance.

All right.

So um, Maxis has been mentioned.

If the property is going to continue to stay vacant, I also mentioned it earlier.

If you go to Detroit Mi.gov and search uh certification of vacancy or vacant property certification.

Um, you will come up to the application to certify your property as vacant.

Um, and that will just show the city uh that is currently being managed by someone that's being held responsible for that property while it's vacant.

Um so that's a suggestion if if it continues to stay empty.

Um, but if not, good luck with the repairs uh until you're able to occupy it again, okay?

Yeah, we are.

We actually are moving forward with renovation.

So uh yeah, I'll definitely look into that.

But thank you guys.

We appreciate you.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Is there a motion to concur?

Motion.

Hearing no objections, we agree to withdraw Dexter.

We will now hear from Angela followed by Hashem, followed by Hasham.

And also uh, how many hands do we have left, Miss Duncan?

Madam Chair, there are currently eight hands raised.

They are eight hands raised.

So if you are listening in and you're here for a hearing, please raise your hands now if you're tuning in.

Uh we would like everyone to raise their hand if you're here for a hearing.

Angela, can you hear us?

Yes.

Which property are you calling us about?

2943 South Bassett.

2943 South Bassett.

This is the seventh property under the eighth block.

This is being ordered demolished.

But Angela, are you looking to keep or demolish your property?

Keep.

Okay.

While they pull up the information, are you looking to sell rents, move into the property yourself?

Sale.

Okay.

I had a buyer.

I guess I still do, but I have a buyer.

Okay.

And we're here.

We're still here with you.

We're just waiting for B seed.

Thank you, madam chair.

Mr.

Patel.

Uh on October 1st uh 2025.

We inspected this property for this year.

We found the one and a half story single family dwelling.

We're kind of an open to trespass at the wall.

Uh wall has the holes in there, not maintained.

Uh deteriorator uh winds uh window seals, missing gutter and down spot.

Uh the area not maintained, overgrowth.

Uh and that's what we brought it in front of this committee.

So, Mr.

Patel, from what I can see from the pictures is a lot of overgrowth.

And you mentioned openings.

Yeah, it had the wall uh wall has the uh opening in the picture right there.

Um that second window like that.

Um you can see the the seal is uh already rod on and broken up.

That's the structural defect right there.

Is that the floor or a wall?

It's part of the wall and floor, also.

That's the right that is a hole there.

Okay, and since there's a hole in the wall, how would you suggest that that be secured?

Is it they have to do the I think they have to do the wall repairs there?

Uh and then um yeah, do the wall covering.

Okay.

Um, so Angela, I I hear you want to sell the house.

There's a lot of work that needs to be done in order to secure it, taking care of the overgrowth, taking care of these holes.

Um, is this something that can be done in the next few weeks?

Okay, that has already been done.

Uh it was, I guess, done after this inspection.

There's a tarp covering that, and there's tarps covering the roof.

The windows have been sealed, and I think that was all I just see over the growth in the backyard and some of the other side of the front yard need to be done still.

And um, sir.

And you said all this work has been done.

Have you no?

I have I said it's been covered.

I'm sorry, it's been covered with tarp.

Um, for the for that window.

And for the roof, it's been covered in tarp.

Okay.

And um, have you shared these uh pictures or or anything with BC letting them know that that you've done this work?

No, I didn't share any pictures.

Okay.

No, not this last time.

Okay.

So if you're saying that all that work has been done, BC needs to inspect the work that's been done.

And if you have they they came out on the 16th.

I don't know, on the 16th or so.

And uh inspect it.

It's uh failed that inspection because of the backyard and the growth and everything.

So Mr.

Patel, when did you do your inspection last on my record it's of the October first?

October 1st.

Yeah, the target.

Yeah.

Angela, you're saying when did they what did when did they come and inspect the property?

Um 15th Wednesday, 6.

Yeah, 16th was uh for the uh vacant property uh uh ordinance or something.

They did that inspection, and it was the 16th.

Do you also conduct that that inspection, Mr.

Patel?

Does BC also conduct that or who does the vacant property inspection?

Um Madam Chair, yes, uh BC does the vacant property inspection, and it appears that they have done uh inspection on October 16.

Uh but that's separate inspection for the vacant property registration inspection.

Uh so I think still we are seeking the update for the dangerous building side, uh that property or not provide the update after completing the yard uh clean up totally uh and uh the game plan to to make the permanent repair for that structural depact on the window side.

Okay, so Angela.

Um BC has still not seen the changes that you've made to your property.

Can you take pictures of all four sides of your property and email B seed this week with the changes that you've made?

I can ask somebody to go there.

I can try, but uh right now I have to watch my mother.

Okay, no worries.

So if you're able to see the screen, we're gonna share the email with you right now.

The email that you want to have um whoever you send to the property, they are going to need to take pictures of all four sides, and I would I I would also say the backyard because there's a lot of overgrowth and and and debris here.

Take pictures of all four sides of the property and then email it to this email right here.

If we can make the thing a little bit bigger by closing that out, thank you.

And this is for anyone that's still listening in.

If we do give you more time and repairs need to be made, uh or changes need to be made, fixes need to be made.

Once those are done, you're gonna need to take pictures of all four sides of the property and email them to this email address.

Because what BC will do is review your images, go inspect the property, and if they are satisfied, that is when they're gonna remove your property from the dangerous buildings list, and you should not have you should not see yourself back here again.

Um, but that's what you have to do, Angela.

Okay, do you see the email on the screen?

Uh yes.

Are you able to screenshot it or jot it down?

Yeah, I guess I draw it down.

Okay, wonderful.

So we can send this back to B seed.

Um, you will need to send over those pictures, and then if that satisfies B seed, they will let you know once this has been removed from the from the dangerous buildings list, okay?

All right, all right.

Is there a motion to send best back to BCD?

Motion hearing no objections, we're sending this property back to B seed.

Uh thank you, Angela.

Do you have any questions for us?

I I guess not.

So we're gonna move us along now to Hasham.

Can you hear us?

Followed by Mo Walker.

Followed by Mo Walker.

Hasham, can you hear us?

Yes, can you hear me?

Yes, which property are you calling us about?

Mr.

Patel, any notes for this property?

Thank you, madam chair.

Uh yeah, this property is open with with the small two windows that need to secure uh also uh they have to register the vacant property uh registration discussion, uh Vice Chair.

The list in any cases has been withdrawn.

And you're indicating it's still open.

The small two window, the attic windows are open.

So you know you all recommended that it be withdrawn.

Yeah, we did.

Um yeah, we parlance here.

Nishan is a taxpayer record for 13769.

Is he here for that property as well?

Sparling.

There's two sparlings on the list.

One is seven six three and one is seven six nine.

Are you here for just seven six three or seven six three and seven six nine?

Uh seven six nine, I think is the property.

It's like it has no building.

Is that yes?

So then you are also the owner of one three seven six nine?

Yes, I've also cleaned that up too.

It was uh just uh overbuild, and that's been taken care of as well.

Mr.

Patel.

Do you have any notes for 13769?

Thank you, madam chair.

Uh on sub September two thousand September 24, 2025.

Uh, we inspected this property for the CED, and we found that one and a half story, single family, frame dwelling open to trespass at the crawl space at the and the elements at the fascia board and soft feet of the roof system.

Also roof is damaged, open to elements and has some holes at the roof decking as well.

He had not maintained heavily overgrowth, and that's what we recommend for the demolition.

Thank you, Mr.

Patel.

Hisham, you mentioned that you also addressed one three seven six nine.

Uh yes, I can send in the photos.

All right.

And what work has been done to this property?

Um I boarded up the windows and also fixed that portion uh the porch, but also took care of the over.

Yeah, that's what I have.

I cleaned up the debris as well.

Are you looking to sell rent uh moving to this property?

To sell this property.

Okay.

Uh Vice Chair.

Any questions or do we send this to B seed to board up?

So Sans evidence that this has been taken care of.

I would suggest returning jurisdiction to B seed.

I'd also like to see evidence, the evidence for 1763 sparling as well.

Just looking at the Google maps, these are old photos, but the condition of 769 seems to be a bit better, but not much better than the photo showed back in 22.

So motion to return to the 660 BC for one seven one three seven six nine.

There's been a motion to send one three seven six nine sparling back to B seed.

Hearing no objections, Hisham, we're gonna do that so that you're able to take pictures of all four sides and email.

You got the email correct?

Yes, is that for six three?

That is for six nine.

Six nine, so we're good on six three, right?

Only six nine you want the email the evidence for okay.

Okay, so six three is all set.

We agree to withdraw, and six nine still needs some help.

If you can please send those pictures to BC.

Discussion.

Thank you, Vice Chair.

For yourself to Mr.

Patel, have we received the photos for six three?

No, we hadn't got the photos from the property on that.

No.

And why did we withdraw the property?

Um because the it was a very small window was open and yard was maintained, so we tried to okay.

Do you have photos of the your last inspection?

They're looking now.

Just to get the make sure that that gets withdrawn.

Yes, yes, I can.

Okay.

Yeah, that that's been taken care of, is what I'm saying.

Okay.

All right.

And so do we know that overgrowth has been taken care of as well?

Overgrowth has been taken care of.

Well, I can send those uh pictures as well.

All right, thank you.

Okay, thank you.

I believe that's it for Sparling.

Thank you for doing the work to maintain the property.

Uh I'm gonna move us along now to Mo Walker followed by followed by El Finley, followed by L.

We have one more caller ending in 296.

We have one more caller.

So I suggest um that hello.

We can hear you.

Um it's going in and out.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Yes, can you hear us?

Yes, can you hear me?

Yes, I can.

What's your name?

Juan Defenderson.

Hi, Wanda Fenderson.

Which property are you calling us about?

Good.

How are you?

Uh seven 716 Green Street.

Detroit.

716 Green Street.

Yes.

This is the 10th property under the 11th block.

Wanda, we this is being ordered demolished.

We're gonna hear from BC to ask to why, but are you looking to keep or demolish the property?

My intentions was to keep it, but I don't know.

I I have a lot of other concerns that I if you know it's a discrepancy.

I noticed in the uh correspondence that you had sent me.

Uh my husband is the well, actually, the property belongs to Joe Fenderson, and I'm his wife, and I've been paying the taxes for you know, ever since he's been deceased, but I noticed the correspondent that you sent me, had a discrepancy in the name.

So I halted, I was trying to do what I was told to do to the building.

I uh secured the openings and I did the um the grass, the growth overgrowth, but then I halted because I didn't know which way to go with this, and I was wondering if you could instruct me as to which way to go with this.

Understood.

Let me show and so you have no connection with either Mr.

or Miss Fenderson.

I am Mrs.

Fenderson.

Joe was my husband.

Okay, he's deceased.

Okay, but ma'am, so then I believe sorry.

Is your name uh on this property as well?

I that's what I that's the point I'm trying to establish.

I thought it was mine, that's what I'm saying.

Uh after his death.

Okay, well, uh Wanda, I'm not sure.

Uh I I think this is a question for a lawyer, because we do hear see here Joe and um Marine.

And I think that's a very valid question, is if you should continue to do this work um without knowing whether or not this property was to go to you.

Uh Mr.

Patel, what are the issues with the with the property?

Well, you're not talking.

No, sorry.

Um, sorry, Wanda.

We're gonna turn it over to to Mr.

Pratel.

Mr.

Patel.

Uh thank you, uh madam chat.

Uh we found the one started big glass open at the collapse rule, not maintained.

In uh no permit up thank you.

And that's what we are from this.

Okay, you didn't you don't have you didn't receive the pictures where the work had been done.

Have you addressed the collapsing roof, ma'am, and the overgrowth?

The overgrowth, uh the uh all the instances are closed.

You know, I don't want to but as far as I know property is supposed to be mine, and uh but when you sent the well, I didn't say you when the letter was saying the discrepancy in the name halted me, so I said, Well first things first for sure.

Um Vice Chair, is there an organization that does like a state helper someone that can help her figure this out before she moves forward?

Or I'm also thinking there's the organization that we work with.

Um CHC, just there needs to be some kind of consultation before she moves forward.

The immigrant law center can help her as well.

Okay, um attorney Paiuge.

Uh and she can also call over to our own legacy in life in UCHE and the Elder Law Center.

There are a number of people who can help you here.

Yeah.

Well, I have been I have um I've been to probate discussion.

Vice Chair.

Um ma'am, you if you've been through probate, do you have the deed to the property?

No, I never really got the deed to the property.

I just continue to like I say, every well, let me ask this.

This is another concern I have.

Now, all of the memorandums that come from the cities for pet taxes, they only have his name on there.

The document we have shows you and your um and your dealy departed as being the taxpayer records here.

So you're on our record as being a taxpayer.

So that's what I'm saying, but then there's the discrepancy when they sent the letter out.

So I was wondering what brought that on.

That's what I'm, you know.

That's what I'm questioning at this point.

Go go ahead.

Sorry, Vice Chair.

Wanda, you are not Marine Fenderson.

No.

Correct.

So and I think that's the problem.

Um so there might have been a remarriage or something.

Um, is is what I'm thinking.

Um, so I am the second, I am the second wife.

Oh.

Right.

So both are the feet.

Oh.

Right.

And that's where this I I think there there should be some help.

Vice Chair.

So there are organizations that can help you here.

I I would suggest returning to jurisdiction of BC to a later date to get to get an understanding.

Then we also just need to know what's the situation with the property.

And does she leave this property?

Do you live in this property, ma'am?

No, it's just uh a car shed, that's all.

It's just for memory.

And uh they wanted me, they I did well, actually, I did what they told me from Jump Street, but uh when whomever went back to look at it, then they went to the roof that the roof wasn't secure, but the first thing that I was told to do was to board it up and clean it up, clean up the debris, you know, around the place to make it look tidy.

So I did that, but now the issue is the roof, yeah.

But I halted because I didn't want to move forward with that because I said I didn't, you know, know which way to go after I saw the discrepancy in the name.

Heard bless you, Miss Duncan.

Um, Miss Wanda, what we're gonna do is uh are you able to jot down this number?

I want to share a number with you to uh a legal clinic.

Um although they're called the Detroit Immigrant Center, they work with everyone.

Um, and and they have uh lawyers that can help uh support you for free um and try to give you some guidance to see what else you might need.

The phone number, you ready?

Yes, 313 288.

I would call them, they're gonna um uh contact you to schedule you for an appointment and then see what kind of guidance they have for you, okay?

Okay, all right.

Now, this is in regards to the the deed, and the name change correct, because uh because I agree with you that should be figured out first before you continue to invest your money um in this property if it's not going to be yours, right?

Okay, okay, all right.

Well, thank you, Miss Wanda.

Good luck, okay?

Discussion.

Oh vice chair?

Wanda, what do you want to do with this property?

You want to keep it?

Do you want to reinvest in it?

Well, actually, I I wanted to keep it for memories.

Oh.

You want so is it just the garage?

Is that all that's there?

Yeah.

You want to keep the garage for memories.

Yes.

My mom would just say the memories.

You don't need to keep the things.

So my mom says when she throws out my memories.

I'm just financial numbers are a whole lot cheaper than the maintenance of this garage.

And it looks like it's on the roof and it needs a number of other improvements.

Are you sure you want to keep this for the memories?

Or here's what I'm saying.

Okay.

If you if you uh demolish, I need to know a little bit more about the demolition of the good route as well.

And the property.

Now, if you demolish the garage, then what goes with the lot.

Aline, ma'am.

Yeah, so I think first thing is first talk to the lawyers, see where you stand on this.

Because remember, Benson, to what he's trying to say is I don't know if it's worth your money to save a garage that would be on a lien if it is demolished, and then you would be stuck with the lien.

But you may not be because we don't know really where this property is gonna land.

Uh Mr.

Patel.

Oh thank you, madam chair.

Uh I think you know, if the uh the property owner can demolish the garage, you know, that might be the most uh way to go.

Yeah, um, Ms.

Wanda, that is a good point.

If you decide yourself to demolish um contract that contract that out, um then you or maybe not you, the the the property would stay um not in a lane under your your late husband's name.

Um but it does seem like you need to figure that out first because then um if you fix this, the property would be in your name, you would have that land.

Um but uh first give give the law clinic a call to see um what kind of help they they have for you this okay.

Let me make sure I heard what you say correctly.

Okay, you said if I decide to have the work done myself, then that eliminates the lien on the property.

Is that what you say?

Correct, because the city wouldn't do the the demolition, so you wouldn't owe the city money.

Okay, but otherwise, if the city does it, then the properties on the lane for the to the city.

Correct.

Okay.

Discussion.

Vice chair.

Do you shelter Mr.

Patel?

Is the home is there a home on this property still?

Google Maps shows a home at one time.

Uh also four-year-old picture.

CM Benson, no, I think uh only the garage is standing.

Yeah, home has been demolished as well.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Motion to return jurisdiction to BC.

Miss Wanda, you're gonna call the legal clinic at 313-288-9904, and good luck, okay.

Okay, now once I call the legal connect, do I get back with you?

Um you should get back to BC once they let you know uh what your next steps are.

But they would be the ones that could that can help you once you think through your options.

Get back with who once you speak with the legal team.

Oh, once you speak with the legal team, they should give you recommendations for next steps on on what you should be doing.
