That's a January 22nd, 2026, there are no active limits on file and more recognition.
The property has been a favorite twice by the city of the Sanitary.
This property is located within a thousand feet of John F.
Kennedy High School.
Photos that have been provided for today's presentation will take them on January 13th and January.
This one photo shows the front elevation of the structure.
This is the left elevation of the structure.
Some of the siding has been memory that's supposed to be interior's side touching.
This is the rear elevation of the structure.
The structure also appears to be pricey.
This is the right elevation as soon as they see that there is time missing from the top of the smoke damage and some fire damage because some physical separation and one of the movement on the right hand operations and the side is also back to the more visible structures.
There is traction review inside that closer to the words of the other structure to see that some of the code is made.
This is the same room that we saw the first quarter's uh attached to that some natural life is very hard to still say about that.
This is the full that's a very much of that basically.
Uh to recap, the structure located at 150 Island Drive isn't violation of City Code Article 8, Chapter 6, 156.
Subsections 12, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, and 18.
So you put to the lateration, subside limits, or unfortunately habitation, of course, a credit or potential threat to live from the safety.
That recommends the ventilation.
That concludes my presentation.
What was the cost?
Uh the first abatement the cost was eighteen hundred, the second abatement was one thousand, and then the total cost for all the abatements of that only for the five room, right?
I'm sorry, sir.
You didn't pick the remote, that was just the board up there.
Uh no, sir.
It was to clean the property, cut the grass, and to board up the structure twice.
And the one that we saw, the open window, you said that it was already been closed.
Yes, all windows have been boarded up.
That's a whole lot to pay.
Is there any outstanding or any new abatement order?
The house is vacant at this time.
Yes, sir.
Have you talked to the owner's interest?
The removal of the people?
I've spoken to uh Mr.
Lonella Borabo on January sixteen, which was last Friday.
Um I have not spoken to the other part of the since um the last time we spoke is when we met the uh what was your conversation being with the uh with the previous owner with Mr.
Oscar Henetta, we have explained the whole thing.
This is process of repairs I think.
We also explained the requirements to keep a party type in secure uh side of the problem with this drive by I will have a conversation with the kind of time.
Did he give you any uh information that he would keep people out of there?
He did on the date of the eviction, he did get with the police department and mostly speaking on behalf of that, but he did sign a trash tax.
You got his property by going by it, or would you uh three one or uh it was reported to me by the area for us?
So you don't know uh uh the school is a thousand feet within the thousand feet.
Yes, sir.
Do you know if that's a heavy traffic area for children?
Uh it is uh significant uh it's a large neighborhood, uh but it's an active neighborhood like Melody, uh some of the association uh right members also.
I have seen children in the streets or the area.
Yes, sir.
Even though that's a high uh there's uh it's closest to it's within a thousand feet of the high school, uh, but next door to the high school there's uh middle school as well.
Well it's pretty close.
You've got all the people who have everything.
Um is Alex Kindrial doctor.
I have been working for the San Antonio Police Department for four and a half years and have been working at the safe unit uh for two years now.
For most of my career, I've actually had 150 Alendale in my district.
Um it's been a neighborhood concern for several years now due to the amount of calls uh we've received on patrol for unknown of property damage costs, constant disservices caused by homeless individuals being a constant nuisance at the property, and frankly, the residents not being cooperative at that property.
When the new LLC business owner took over 150 Alendale um after Anthony uh left, I was very hopeful to have a new owner to help rebuild the vacant property into a beautiful home, uh frankly to help restore the community.
However, this didn't happen almost immediately after our first contact with the new LLC owners, uh, which I was in contact with Oscar.
I would patrol by and check on 150 Alendale multiple times throughout the week.
Um and there would be trash dumped all over the front yard, almost every point of entry broken and exposed, along with both front and back fences broken.
Um there's an alleyway in the back where the fence is completely broken and it's hard to see because the grass was always overgrown.
Um but that alleyway, we would get constant calls for people going in and out, and there's a lot of elderly on this street.
Um I mean I could I can take go out there on different day.
Um but I'm I'm very known with the street.
Um the grass was constantly overgrown, like I said, and I had received multiple complaints from residents along with the Thompson community HOA president, uh Mr.
Rudy.
He lives down the street and so did his parents, maybe like a few houses down on both sides.
And when I would check the interior of the house, I would always find in every room drug paraphernalia scattered.
Um and it hasn't been known that the previous residents were into drugs because frankly I I arrested them.
It was in my district, like I said.
Um so I was constantly at that house making arrests for drugs, and if it wasn't new charges, it was warrants for drugs.
And it wasn't just uh one person, it would be multiple homeless individuals that they would go frequent down the street by John F.
Kennedy High School and Brentwood Middle School, which is like this uh previous dangerous officer Husserl said within that thousand uh yards.
And frankly, all the arrests were coming from the Alendale, if not uh it would be caught down the street and they were known to be vacated or in the tent in the backyard of that area.
Um whenever I would let Oscar know, send him pictures, uh constant messages, just to kind of help him, like, hey, I'm checking the area.
This is what I receive, and that's kind of our what we do.
We help try to secure it as best we can whenever we are able to go, but we're not a private security company, we're not gonna be there all day.
Um I would never receive any response from Oscar.
Uh the only help, frankly, I've ever gotten was from Dangerous Premises Highman Hossel.
And this has been a neighborhood nuisance based on the arrests.
Um I hate to keep repeating it, uh, but that's how that's how I f frankly feel about this house.
Uh because of the neighborhood it's in, there's a lot of elderly.
It's a generational area.
So this is three, four generations that they can live in there in their Kennedy Rockets, you know, they're down the street.
I've received complaints for speeding, so to answer your question, I believe you asked it.
It is a heavy traffic area.
Heavy, heavy traffic area because they're that type of uh development, a lot of the parents stay work at 12 plus hour shifts.
So kids are constantly walking home, they're walking to the local stores, and you pass Alendale to get to apartments, to get to the other side of Allendale Street, um, and it connects multiple popular streets.
Um so this has been a constant nuisance.
And I'm I'm frankly glad we're here today uh because of the lack of cooperation we've had with the owners.
And it's it's a concern whenever we keep getting calls there, and we keep having the same answers for the people there.
And it's not right for them to look at that and to have homeless individuals because homeless individuals, they don't just bring vacancy, they bring products.
And then one thing I will tell you working at the safe unit for how long I have.
One homeless individual turns into five, it turns into twenty.
Very quickly.
Okay, thank you.
Um you've been in this district for three years, or just as a safe.
I got lucky going into the city and I have to say.
Yes, sir.
I used to work one third day and I thought the evening.
Before I became a safe officer.
So you're familiar with both evening and morning.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
And this house in itself has been an issue.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Um station and council district, can buy it, but you got present.
It needs to go yeah.
Well, yeah, we know we're in the house, so you're going to the company value.
Um his name is uh Oscar.
Lonel Larvarado, yell is the unior of the he's the owner of the property.
And at the moment La Procura is together.
Uh the property was given to him by Oscar Lovera.
Uh due to someone that you got to look at you in business where you have to use up the local.
So he's attempted to sell the home, uh, he's being told that he hasn't able to sell the home because uh uh in order to retain people who are home so that we can still have something more enough, only go is the nine big cannot be looking for out of these that's what it's got is that procurement.
So uh the the reason he hasn't been able to sell the home is because the person that is uh wanting or showed interests uh to to buy the home um doesn't want to take the risk of the the full question falling through and then it holds to some other things and that's what you see but when it's fun to be good like that you'll be brand new.
So if he does have a plan uh to remodel it uh that started off that started in that will start in February all the way to April, uh in the hopes that by the time that full closure comes through, the phone is already he has the plan to uh the remodeling plans and the funds from painting as good.
I'm sorry.
Um the house is that uh each point.
When we put the library to the modular leg, you're not in a room before in the normal UC.
The the plan is again to restate the plan is to remodel, begin remote uh remodeling the home in February, which way for closure plan to closes, and the people just have to start for established one.
And for that reason, no work has been done.
Uh he acquired the property or he received the property in March.
Uh his contractors.
Yes, I'm sorry, my name is not five photos.
Uh yes, my name is not five photos.
I'm from your own.
Uh bridge speed dual six, and it's only texts.
We trying to make a plan to refer this house.
Uh the first thing we need to do is write the property to make this view.
That's the main thing we would get uh the premise or something with first.
Do as much with that.
Um we specify everything that we need to do in there.
Last yeah, we we need to do it.
Um I think one of the most problems is that the house is vacant, so everybody's going into it.
So even if we we demolish the house, we pretend to make another house.
Uh he also wants to present the funds.
So he's just asking the board to give them all a little bit more time so we can begin uh remodeling uh you did indicated that you acquired the property in March of twenty-five.
What is your relationship with uh LA solutions which you're seeing?
Yeah, you go to have the problems since twenty-five.
And uh so LA Ventures actually acquired the property earlier in twenty twenty-five.
It was uh a payment uh uh from a company named eight minutes.
Oh yeah, um to what's my explaining the fact that this law ventures uh fire the property uh through channel warranty on November twentieth, twenty twenty-four?
The sheriff's sale or prior to that and so he explained the discrepancy uh title records indicate he has been in uh possession, custody and control of this property since contractor twenty twenty twenty-four.
That's where I was going to catch it.
So the uh the council's question was can you explain the difference between the D date of November twenty twenty-four and the acquisition or the takeover of March of Twenty-five?
Can you explain the difference between those two dates?
This is very interesting.
I'm gonna speak technical side now.
You heard the contract.
So on your list, you gave a description of everything you're gonna do.
No, we still look things.
Uh this kind of uh wait till you just go something.
I'm gonna get a contractor myself.
When you gave the list, you you already said there wasn't some other stuff on the camera.
But the list you gave this is your itemized list, which is required for the financial statement.
And he said something about starting February one, and he said the April.
Is that just the April one or is it where did you find them?
Uh thinking about once we started or do you think I'm thinking about a couple of months?
About you know, always goes one week later when it's like or depending on when you can get the permit as well.
I know it's not.
Uh have you tried applying for permit?
Uh we will not plan to apply for permits.
So that's gonna depend on your timeline as well.
Correct.
So you're talking sixty days, you have your uh list, and then you have your financial.
Yes, we do.
So you're asking for a repair, are you asking just all we require is you bring it up to code.
Correct.
The rest of it's on you.
I understand.
Okay.
So that's all we're requiring.
We're not requiring you to make the title hall, we just want you to repair it.
Do you think you can get it up to code within sixty days?
About this one.
Okay.
Thank you.
Since we started once we started.
And that's yours you're gonna secure it as well, right?
Correct.
And it has no power right now?
No one.
No, no, water, no the power.
Uh minus well, uh last year to Lionel, uh, what we can set to do is make secure the property, like get a dumpster, clean the inside, in and out, and you know, closed windows, doors, and try to put our panes so that way we keep people away from the property.
Okay, now this one may go to him.
The question I asked if we may have to come up.
My understanding is that the owners, you have signed a trespass with the SAPD for anybody who comes on the property, they can be trespassed.
Uh I'm I'm not, I'm not sure.
I I'm not that's why I asked if we could ask me that.
Yeah, it's a trespass um what is it?
It's it basically they sign it with SEPD.
SEPD can arrest anybody that's not supposed to be on the property for trespassing.
Uh trespass affidavit.
Uh this is uh dangerous premise officer and hustle.
Uh just kind of make you aware that the previous owner of Mr.
Oscar Heneta was the one that had signed up with the work in terms of this court.
Okay.
So he hasn't done it with the previous owner.
Thank you.
Yeah, yeah.
So let's see what I guess.
Yeah, uh, uh question.
The house is on the ground, wasn't it?
Foundational repairs and finding that tracks.
It's uh the house is sitting on the box.
It's another problem.
So that makes it easy for us on that point.
Actually, looking at the foundational support.
Yes, sir.
Is that gonna be part of the everything needs to be done?
We have to do it.
So we we need to first of all like to say we need to clean it up and see this equation for the property and whatever you need.
Uh is the first rule does uh something uh when you put the polio now.
I'm thinking uh in matters uh coming up uh next week, starting next week.
We have to order a dumpster and write in the book.
That's doesn't make you make it from now.
In and out.
Okay.
Oh, this is the I'm kids.
This is Fernandes, I'd like to make a motion.
I moved at the property located at 150 Avendale Drive.
And is in violation of City Code Chapter 6.
Article 8, Section 156, subsections.
And I would like to give them 60 days to repair with these stipulations.
Okay, so the motion early.
Oh sorry, that it's section six dash one five six.
We're now talking about January of 2026.
There's the issue of of the school, there's the issue of the date, and then there's the issue of the out of repair because based on just a group of the name and rookie cost type calculations.
There is understatement.
If they're willing now when you get all this clerical stuff done, which it sounds like that's what they were doing, I'm willing to at least give them the opportunity to try to make good.
And if not, then we come back to you.
I I do understand uh your report.
Uh but I just look at the property uh from the date of the current to basically the photograph that I looked at done in January of this year.
There appears to be absolutely nothing that's been done.
So I'm not really sure.
I understand what you say if it's talking about so uh that's a very called and per cost overrun, in reality, if they have that money, then the cost overrun is gonna burn into that 250,000 bucks.
And I understand that the the low bid, but you also also stated that if there is a case of things, it would be picked up.
And I'm more for trying to save if somebody's trying to save and tear it down and have a basic operation still going.
And if not the first time we have come back.
So I would like to request one second session to discuss legal matters.
The time is now ten thirty-one a.
No official action is contained from the except.
Yes, Madam Chill.
The motion was to repair within 50 days.
The utility would be cut off until the contractor can put them back on.
Secure the property.
And a report to the code officer every 15 days.
So if it's not repaired within 50 days, it automatically defaults the demolition.
That is that yes.
I don't should pass it with the vote to zero.
Good morning, boy.
Good morning.
For the record, my name is Cynthia Santana, Dangerous Premise Officer for the City of San Antonio Development Services Department.
The structure being presented today is located at 215 Rulman Avenue with a recommendation for demolition in accordance with City Code Article 8, Chapter 6.
This case is the first time being heard before this court.
Owner on record is Maldonado Rosendo and Guadalupe with a mailing address of 215 Roman Avenue.
All notices of hearing were properly issued as required.
The following individuals are present on behalf of the case.
Also present are representatives from NHSD.
Does the board wish to proceed?
Yes.
The Office of Historic Preservation has confirmed on October 7th, 2025 that the property is not eligible for historic designation.
The following is a timeline of events regarding the notification process.
The first inspection regarding 215 Roman Avenue was conducted on February 19, 2025.
The original notice was mailed on September 18, 2025, and the certified receipt was not returned.
The notice to vacate was posted at 215 Roman Avenue on October 29, 2025.
On January 8, 2026, the notice for the BSP hearing was posted at 215 Roman Avenue.
On January 7th, 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was mailed to the owner, and the certified receipt has not been returned.
No scope of work or financial proof or letter of credit or engineer's report has been provided.
There are no permits on file for 215 Roman Avenue.
On December 8th, 2025, an administrative warrant was obtained to take the photos being presented today.
The photos that are being provided for today's presentation were also taken on March 24th, October 30th, and December 8th of 2025, and January 14th and January 20th of 2026.
This is the main structure at 215 Willman Avenue.
It is a single-story structure in a residential zone.
The structure was built in 1920 and is approximately 1,450 square feet.
The structure has a pure and being foundation, wood framing, wood siding, and a gable roof with shingles.
The structure is not located within a thousand feet of a school.
The structure is occupied and has active water, gas, and electrical services.
The front elevation shows missing fascia on the right corner of the roof and a large accumulation of outside placement and rubbish on the porch and yard, creating egress violations.
This is the left elevation of the structure, showing more damage on the soffit and the fascia boards there towards the center.
Both the front and the left elevation lack weather protection towards the bottom of the walls and has detaching trim on the front left corner.
The siding is separating from the structure underneath the air conditioner.
The structure is unlevel and sinking towards the grade at the rear left corner.
The sewer pipes are running along the ground next to the house with makeshift rubber couplings.
The skirting is missing from the foundation.
This is the rear elevation of the main structure.
The roof decking is warped from water damage.
The trim and the siding are deteriorated from lack of weather protection.
There is a water heater behind the draped cloth on the right side.
If you look to that right edge of the rear elevation, you can see how the rear section is listed to the right.
Additional photos will show a failing foundation on that corner.
This rear section is an addition built onto the home at some point.
Bear County appraisal district district indicates the home is 868 square feet with an 84 square foot porch on the front.
However, current measurements show it at approximately 1450 square feet.
There are no permits for this address in the city database, nor in the Hanson Legacy Portal, which is an archived permanent database.
This is the right elevation of the main structure.
The fascia and the soffit are damaged on this side as well, over by where the two by fours are leaning up against the structure.
The wood siding, the floor joists, and the seal beams are deteriorated at the bottom under both windows.
The roof is unlevel and rises upward on the right side as it goes over where the addition was put on.
This photo is a close-up of the seal beam on the front elevation.
There's a notch cut out of the seal beam, and it is being supported by what appears to be a 2x4.
The seal beam is not resting on the cedar post, and the wood siding is deteriorated from a lack of weather protection.
Here's the underside of the structure at the front elevation showing the foundation.
The floor joists, if you'll notice, are scabbed together, and one end of the floor joist there is not resting on a ceiling.
This is consistent throughout the foundation under the structure.
The cedar post that is the second from the left one is listed towards the rear of the structure.
The one uh the seat, the post that is in the center is shimmed with wood pieces.
You may not be able to see it in the picture, but even further back, um, several more piers are shimmed with wood pieces.
Here is the exterior seal beams on the left elevation.
Uh they're notched out to rest on another beam that is going directly under the structure.
The seal beam to the right of the post is split at the point where the nail is driven into it, and the nails are there because this is not one solid beam, it appears to be two by sixes adhered together.
Here you can see those two boards that are adhered together.
This is the junction at where the addition to the rear meets the original structure.
The beams are twisted and stacked on the post, and those sewer lines are above ground.
At the rear elevation where the structure is sinking towards the grade, uh, the support beam, if you can see under there, is rotted away and is resting on gray.
This is a photo of the juncture where the addition was attached to the main structure, and you can see that it's pulling away.
The bathroom in the home is in this addition, and you'll be able to see natural light coming through the walls at this location once we get to the interior.
This is a contextual photo of both the rear and the left elevation.
It gives you a better perspective of the condition of the roof decking.
There's no fascia here, and the decking is severely water damaged.
This is a close-up of that damaged fascia on the right elevation.
The ridge in the roof, uh, you can see that there just to the right of those two by fours, uh, is the section where the unpermitted addition begins.
You can see that the addition is pulling away from the original build on the right elevation as well.
This is the entryway to the front door.
The morning that I took this photo, they had stuffed towels underneath the door to prevent the cold air from coming in due to the large gap under the door.
There's a large gap between the porch and the main structure.
The flooring is damaged on the entryway here, exposing the subfloor.
This is looking into the front door.
There's a medical bed up against that far wall where Mrs.
Maldonado has to sleep, and that is her wheelchair.
There are so many items in the room on the floors that Mrs.
Maldonado is unable to navigate to other rooms, including the restroom in her wheelchair, which is not accessible for handicap.
Igress violations make it very unsafe for her.
This is a gas heater with a rubber supply hose that's providing heat to the structure in the living room where she sleeps.
In order to find the source of that hose, I had to move the couch.
At the other end of the couch is the front door.
Excuse me, the kitchen.
I had taken photos previously of the damaged ceiling in here, but when I returned, these clothes and items on the floor had been placed in the entrance to the room, creating more agress violations.
I was able to move the clothes on the rack to take another photo of the damaged ceiling.
There's a two by four in the room providing support to the ceiling joist.
The entire room, uh, the floor of the entire room is not visible due to the large accumulation of clothes and items on the floor.
This was the condition of the floor in the kitchen.
The subfloor was exposed when I visited in March of 2025.
It was covered in dog urine, according to Mr.
Maldonado, and it did smell of urine when I entered.
The floor was very spongy to walk across.
The structure is sinking towards the rear elevation.
The burner there you can see on the stove was running with no pot over the top of it.
A Spanish-speaking safe officer present with me that day asked Mr.
Maldonado for me why it was burning.
He stated it was to warm the house.
The only heat supply visible on this day was the stove burner that was running and the heater in the living room in the previous photo.
As you walk out of the kitchen towards the rear of the house, the subfloor is exposed.
It contained dog feces and smelled of urine.
It was also spongy to walk across.
The room to the right is the bedroom where the grandson was staying at one point, and then the room to the left here is going to be the restroom.
This is the room that was on the right where the grandson had been staying.
On a previous visit, I had placed a level in this room and measured the floor unlevel, sinking towards the rear elevation, which is that wall on the left side.
When I returned, the flooring had been removed.
You can see the post for the seal beam is actually a concrete deck block.
And you can see that the floor joists are being scabbed onto one another.
Again, they're notched out on the ends.
This is a contextual photo of that room that's in the rear edition.
There is no permit on file for the foundation repair, nor a minor building repair in the city's permit database.
There's no electricity source in this room.
On that previous visit, this was, like I said, the grandson's room and electrical extension ports had been run into the room to provide electricity.
This is the rear exit that had been boarded up at the time of the photo.
You can see natural light at the top and water damage on the ceiling drywall, and there is no wall covering.
So the left of that room with the feces on the floor was the bathroom.
This is also, like I said, in the addition that's pulling away and sinking into the grade.
You can see the separation at the floor between the two rooms.
You can also see natural light coming through the area where the exit was boarded up.
This is natural light coming into the bathroom between the shower and the toilet from the exterior wall, where the addition is separating.
This is a contextual photo that uh of that area showing the amount of deterioration.
I placed a level on the bathroom floor towards the door.
You can see the bubble is completely to the right side of the glass indicator.
The floor uh toward the exterior wall is lower than the interior towards the entry door.
This photo is the photo uh is the front elevation of the accessory structure.
Bear County appraisal district indicates the structure is 180 square feet.
It measures at 264 square feet.
The siding is missing from the front elevation and the roof decking is deteriorated, damaged and fallen from the structure.
This is the right elevation, which shows the missing siding.
Wall studs and interior drywall are exposed to the elements.
There are several holes in the groove and water damage decking.
The interior of the structure is exposed on the right rear elevation.
The wall is missing, and the structural members are weathered.
The fascia lacks weather protection.
This is the rear elevation of that accessory structure.
The fence and the large accumulation of outside placement in the rear yard prevented me from taking a more contextual photo.
Here you can see more of the missing wall, uh damaged wall studs in the sea siding.
As you walk into the accessory structure, you can see the water damage decking and the natural light coming in on the left top of the photo.
The decking is separated, allowing the elements to enter the accessory structure.
I'm unclear as to whether or not those are rafters or trusses.
Either way they are water damaged as well, and what appears to be a top plate is also water damaged.
This is looking to the rear of the accessory structure where you can see a large amount of natural light coming in at the wall and the roof with collapsed insulation and drywall.
The center beam right there across the top of the ceiling is damaged.
The structure at 215 Woolman Avenue has deteriorated for several years without any permitted work.
Unpermitted alterations, both historical and those completed within the last two months, have created unsafe structural conditions.
Significant separation of walls along with holes in both the walls and the floors has allowed rodents and other pests to enter the structure.
During the summer, Mrs.
Maldonado reported that roaches were crawling on her at night.
Prolonged exposure to weather has caused rot in the structural components.
The foundation is uneven, contributing to these separations and creating hazardous walking surfaces for the occupants.
Because the foundation lacks proper engineering, it poses a risk of failing to support the live and dead loads in the structure.
Additional hazards have been created by occupants running extension cords to supply electricity to habitable rooms that have no power.
Due to the severity of these unsafe conditions, a notice to vacate was issued for the safety of the occupants.
Despite the notice, the occupants continue to reside in the structure.
The structures, I'm sorry, located at 215 Willman Avenue are in violation of City Code Article 8, Chapter 6-156.
Subsections 1, 2, 5, 8, 12, and 15 for the main structure, and subsections 1 to 8, 12, 15, and 18 for the accessory, in which any building or structure which has any or all of the conditions or defects there and here in after described shall be deemed to be a dangerous building and a hazard to public health, safety, and welfare, provided that such conditions of defect of dilapidation, substantiveness or unfitness for human habitation, pose a threat or potential threat to life, health, property or human safety.
Staff recommends demolition.
That concludes my presentation for 215 woman out there.
Yeah, this is right.
I'm gonna there's certain dates that nine twenty-five.
I'm sorry, nine.
What was the question?
Correct.
Oh HP old letters here.
Uh destruction uh construction required.
Uh correct.
The home is of an age that if it were to be demolished that uh deconstruction would have to happen.
Correct.
What they're written.
Yeah.
Uh notice of bay cake was signed on the twenty ten twenty-seven twenty-five and issued ten twenty-nine twenty-five, correct?
Correct.
And we already know they got power because we saw the gas on the electric car, and the water bar.
The notice of bait cake was issued.
Did you get a hold of CPS to put services?
I didn't they in the notes they were looking for another property or nothing to range that work.
Um I don't know what their intentions were, Mr.
Maldonado had said to me that he didn't have the physical ability or the um monetary ability to repair the home NHSD will speak on some of the things that they tried to help them, but it was uh right there at the very beginning that we put them on an eight month machine.
Yeah, and there is pieces in here where it says the things will come up that they were looking, especially in there.
Um I guess the question would have to go to this.
An individual in a wheelchair, no you know that all of the egress issues, especially going by that bed.
Can that person be evacuated in a reasonable amount of time if there's a fire to get out one of the egresses other than the door?
It is my belief that that would be a difficult situation.
Even though she's by a window, and I agree with you on that, even though she finds a window, trying to move it.
How close is the nearest egress other than that window, the block to that person's bed or wheelchair?
The bed is located in the front room, which is I would say probably ten to twelve feet from the front entry door.
The problem with the front entry door is the porch is uh heavily uh has a lot of uh outside placement and a lot of rubbish.
How close would be the next person to assist the person that would be in that bed, a medical bed or the wheelchair?
Mr.
Maldonado is sleeping in the very first bedroom that was at the end of the couch.
Um I'm I'm not sure with his disability that he would be able to assist her either.
Uh the second room was being occupied by a daughter, uh second room towards the rear.
Um, and then the third room was being occupied by the grandson who was an adult also.
So your question is, I don't know if Mr.
Maldonado was able to assist her out.
Um anybody in the room, because they would not be where she's at this is uh the dangerous premises to uh to your question as to the uh what she can address are uh questions related to condition of the structure that outside posting on the dress but uh she certainly not qualified to question.
But okay, uh I'll strike that one.
If you're in that room and you're looking at that and you're looking for e-gresses, my train of thought would be who could get to the person to move them to the nearest e-gress other than that paper.
And she could answer she can't answer that, right?
She's not qualified.
Okay.
And so I'm supporting spot.
All right.
The nearest degress would actually be that way.
The nearest window is um to the bed, has uh uh safety bar violation.
The it has um and the one just from that then is open, does not have safety bars.
The other one would be actually the front door now.
Yeah, if we were looking at the front elevation on the very first um what I'm asking you is if they have to move an individual, either by the wheelchair or put them in the wheelchair, what would be the near feed recipe for so that was my it would be the actual front door to get her out in a couple?
So that's your front door right there.
Yeah, the porch, it's uh facing the porch at the front door.
And they've been assisted throughout this whole process according to the military.
It would be an assistant by OHP has in HSB, correct?
NHSD has made several visits to them.
Uh I'm aware that adult protective services has attempted to provide assistance as well.
I spoke to the officer of honor on a couple of occasions.
And they're still doing in the house even though all this is still happening.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Good morning.
My name's uh Lydia Namigo with the NHSD Havigator.
I've been working with Ms.
Wallype and Mr.
Lava since we received the report from DSD back in March of 2025.
And we've been working with them since then through uh ID as a yesterday.
We've been offering uh services uh directly to them.
We've made several full visits uh my colleagues and myself, a lot of the co-op fitness.
And um they have um I don't think we're gonna be in communication with her by phone and also with the home visits.
She has been making contact with different organizations that are non-profit, but according to uh this webinar bank, what by need is limited.
So um and they've been reaching out to different communities, uh, for example uh medical SA we built.
Um leave if I'm not saying I know that they are behind on the taxes, some of these programs require that um the current taxes and as of yesterday, my other colleagues we could do as well.
We've been about four four years.
And um, we did also make some requests for her to go and look into other uh cases for uh two uh we need that reporter to get the apartments and she did go.
Um that's what she mentioned, she attended and she went in, and they did offer her a two-bedroom apartment, and based on the information that we received probably she didn't turn that on the institution.
She was limited on income um that we've been looking at the requirement to find we can all agree this is for the end.
We can all agree that this is not an ADA home, right?
Yes, there the witty uh apartment are senior uh neighborhood uh seniors and security over they are able to uh they are a food and they are able to accommodate her I believe according to the other number uh two head room that was offered her offer to her um she all the help that's come to her she basically refused the packet you gave her is it the same one that we got in a full board meeting?
I believe so we had a week yes, that is crap.
And all these other agencies reach out to she has to do most of the labor, we provide her the the resources um the uh follow up with her to find out these are interesting to reach out to follow up with her and uh say that uh say that uh she requirements for no funding that's available at basically basically sometimes education, right?
You're welcome.
Any other questions?
Um so let's um the interest uh pro for indiquez la su nombre la reduction de la facilidad uh uh desea que uh usar la propia.
Uh his name is uh uh Mr.
Maldonado, he lives at the address listed here and he wants to speak before you uh the que me quieren demoler me la casa y yo pienso que no es justo.
You aquí algunas cosas que sepan usted.
Um he feels that he's here to present for you and speak but he wrote some letter some uh words that he wants to share with you, he doesn't feel that uh the demolition is just uh in his opinion.
Uh he's worked uh in carpentry for most of his life, 57 years.
Uh he's lived at that home.
Uh he's worked uh all his life and uh he's been self-sufficient uh and independent for all his years.
Uh he used to uh do his own book keeping and hired of the bookkeeper mister Jerry Sifuentes to help them with bookkeeping uh for his property he's paid his taxes.
He would uh send his taxes every three months uh depending on what his times were to the government of the municipality.
Because of necessity he learned how to do his own plans for his home and then how to submit them for uh the party.
Uh he has uh he did bring those plants here as proof uh if needed and he is willing to present them for manera que you les hablo porque tienen conocimiento de la construction y quiero defenderme inesta o fallas.
Uh he does have experience with construction and he wants to address some of the issues that have uh brought up the floor to this meeting.
Uh the first instance of the court officer talking to him was about uh vehicles on his property that were not moving and that he needed to do cierto tempo para que le mostrar que trabajan y gracias por ese tiempo que ya me do the the court officer gave him a certain amount of time to uh be able to uh move the cars and get them up into her side so he can remove and he would like to thank the code officer for the time he was here.
Alguno de los memes la batteria, algunos uh llantas, y'all necessarily gasolina.
Some uh vehicles needed uh battery change, other ones needed just to fix a tire, some tires to get them up.
He would like to again thank and uh congratulate Miss Santana for all the help that uh they provided.
Uh he worked with her and then he got the vehicles up and running again and he was able to move them and he was happy that he was able to do so.
With time she came back and she explained to him what he needed to do to clean his house and uh what he needed to address.
She put it in the record uh that uh he the court officer told him that uh he had fixed the cars and he was starting to address all the other issues with he was happy to address it.
Okay.
Uh she came back with uh a certain amount of time and uh to once again tell him that he needed to uh clean his property and uh clean around his home.
Uh he was happy to do so and he did address it.
She then came back and asked for permission to enter the home so she can inspect and uh he provided her with the uh Mikasa mide 43 pieces del terreno de la banqueta and la casa son diez piece lo que se le puede la yarda.
The home is uh long 43 feet and um the ten feet of Yankee the from the bench to the yard.
La ciudad Toma in Quenta Qualquer cosa que ponga in frente como una mesa, el recogedor de manguera, y eso da muy mal aspecto por la yardasamucortita.
He says then in his opinion the dimensions uh that were provided are wrong, uh mainly because of the different uh the different areas that you could take the measurement from depending on the different parts of the different.
He believes that the the city is at fault uh for measuring correctly uh the uh the city has their own uh regulations uh that they go by but it is not the uh inhabitants' fault that they measured.
He comienza punter algunos detail and lose a conoser.
One more time uh the officer Santana comes in and uh asks permission to enter the home to point out other things that are wrong with him.
The officer said that the um the home was missing some squares uh to enter the home uh in its uh eating free it doesn't allow for eagress or aggress from from the door of the home, that it doesn't allow for his wife who's in a wheelchair came the or exit.
In uncloser de la sala Iuna Buchero in the Chi Rock, for eso poner toda la teja nueva in toda la casa y ese agujero in el Chiro no Aviamor.
Uh the officer did uh uh make them aware of the hole in the roof uh and they were able to patch it up uh to avoid you know anything coming in from the roof.
Uh they did tell him as well about the uh leveling issues throughout the home, uh specifically in the bathroom uh that there are some leveling issues coming in in the bathroom.
Mediukatenia cambiar or remodelar los yoicks Yalgota reparations.
Uh they they did make them aware that they needed to fix some joints uh throughout the home and that other small uh items needed to be addressed.
As soon as he got a social security check of $989, he began to invest in the home and trying to get it up in repair to address all the issues done by him.
He began to work on repairing the the floor as well as a buying two doors to fix the the doors that were that were said that they were broken.
He also bought paint to paint the home and then he hired a contractor to assist him with uh with the painting and uh fixing the other parts of the home.
Yo as a travajador conel para un mueble cut on a Jeep Commander to meet he made arrangements with the contractor to pay him uh by uh giving him uh his uh Jeep commander 2007 as a key former payment and inspector uh then uh officer Santana came over uh to his home and told him to stop all work so that uh that inspector could come and uh did all his work yorita staparado siya viene me va desiro no está terminado no va a ser mi culpa no había vental inspector uh he's saying that uh as of right now the work the the work has stopped at the advisement from the officer so if they come right now nothing's changed because he has a stop order waiting for the inspector to come and perform his inspection.

Once again he would like to thank the the the officer uh for for assisting him and he wishes her the best intentions in long life with his family, her family that is all this is right out.
Can you ask me uh several that's an embarrassing?
But there's uh I know one maybe two instances where the code officer saw her in the car and she's talking to her.
But I read in here that she can't move without assistance, is that correct?
Uh his grandson helps her uh his wife move around, he um he moves her all over the place, uh takes her to the to the car or from the car or moves her to the bed or from the instance is stated in here that everybody else was sleeping in the house.
She was in the car by herself.
Can you clarify she to meet so to him?
The officer or the if everybody if the officer approaches the coat officer approaches, an individual in the car, if everybody's in the house asleep, how does she get in the car?
But if she can't move.
Well it goes to the it's not a question.
Well it is, because you if it states in the statement here that the grandson has to move her, in fact.
I d that's what we hear.
I understand your question as to uh uh what you want to talk to me over that question by which she wants to start to her grandson moves her from inside, carries her to a wheelchair outside and her scan is quite again uh I don't know more uh the issue before you mission of the structure, nothing else.
So uh her thing car or half authentication uh structure uh sense respect to the hair being more situation to uh person inside as far as outside.
He has not pulled any permits but with all the other construction before he was notified he can't work, there is no permit to no sacred para uh no.
So all the work he's done has been his repairs before they told him to stop, it's been done by himself, right?
He's saying uh yes he did hire some help uh which is what he stated in his letter uh that he paid with or he is gonna pay with the Jeep uh the two thousand and seven G so that's first part but he also would like to state that um any architecture requirements he doesn't believe he he falls under because of regulations from the city that has changed from eight hundred feet requiring architecture and requirement to one thousand uh one thousand feet.
So he he's not doing any renovations or in in any of that kind, so he doesn't believe he needs any of that what's the plan go forward with the house uh what we can come up with it just plan C para futuro de la casa, quello is something uh kids see if I for repara suffer.
Uh he wants to be given more time and then he wants to follow with the rules of the course.
Tiene como una quota quanto va a costarlos prepared in the casa?
No se there's uh just the chip.
I mean it would be different is the uh as he gets funds from the checks that he receives uh he wants to administer the money and to to play.
Madam Chair, we have speakers.
Gracias for some time.
So we do have a long list of two things, um people find up to want to speak because we have some problems, can we keep it something to the repairs?
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Guadalupe Malbonato and I live at I live on two one five Roman Avenue.
Hi uh I came because Santana said a lot of things, but it seems that when she said all that the day she came to clean I was on my way out to dialysis and um I told her not to take a tub uh stuff.
I used to buy and sell at the flea market.
I told her don't take my culture, don't take the air conditioner and chairs that were on the porch.
They had nothing to do with trash.
And I feel that that was wrong because that was my things that I sell.
Anyways, she took them and I never got back.
Um I feel that uh I've been asking her when she called me all the time.
I don't have a place to go.
I've been trying to find everything so expensive.
I said, Do you want me to live on the streets?
I can't do that.
In my condition, I don't think I can do that.
They offered me a place at the shelter.
But I couldn't take it because I knew my daughter that takes care of me.
And my grandson at the shelter, I asked the lady, I would meet somebody to meet me around.
She said, We don't have nobody like that, won't allow for a place to sleep.
I said, Okay, thank you anyway.
And at the place where the lady said that I I didn't accept everything they offer I I don't I I could uh at face they didn't have handicap access.
I couldn't take it.
She said, call me back or keep calling maybe we'll get an apartment.
I said, okay, I will they have a pad of handicap apart.
Okay.
That's why I can't accept what it's very violent.
Yes.
And because we were well mostly because you like to go to the highest way from the pen to get out what to try to get up.
In August, um, I can't stand up.
They rehab showed me how to get up, but this late is not strong enough.
They're already in the process of doing the process and they're gonna show me how I can walk.
I'm so glad if I can't thank God if I can because I didn't pray and pay not to fold for three little things.
I see people like that.
And I'm a very cold hearted person.
I don't think I could last a week.
I mean oh my god's cool.
But in my house, in my house, even though it only needs repair.
It's not construction remodeled, nothing like that.
It prepares so they repair my house.
I wanna do it.
And right now I can live in well over 40 years.
It wasn't it hasn't been that bad for a while now, but I mean my husband has it warm there for me and so I just need for somebody to give the child.
I told him I said we could get a loan maybe because I didn't offer a lot of loans, but I would tell them because I don't want to own the money.
But in this case, I rather owe that money to pick on house and pay it in payments, you know, because I could afford that.
I didn't let her tiny house.
No, I just wanted to take two of that.
Um my husband he's he doesn't do no more work, but I mean he can't do heavy work.
He's got a heart condition too.
But he can't do it himself.
But he's got his brother that works on the same thing, his nephews and all that.
They told him already that it's well, he's ready, gets all the material, they'll help you.
It's not part of the material.
But we can't do that too.
We didn't know about that.
At first, we thought it's only repair, not remodeling.
I was told by the I called it for David asked about that.
They said oh you're going to remodel and all that okay, but but not for repairs.
So that's what we're doing.
Yes, sir.
You're on dialysis three times a day.
You're you've got somebody in the house with 24 or seven, correct?
Yes.
Somebody's around.
Um there to take two days, those things and tether day house.
Today I'm supposed to do that.
But I called them and told them I wasn't going to call them.
And the nurse said it's really bad for you not to move your dates.
I said, I know that I've got a PTF.
The concern we have or I have is your safety.
Oh, yes, something happened.
When you said ask my husband, how did they get me out?
My red is just like throw me out the door.
Like from here to where she is the door.
It's not that fun.
He's a and he'll send me past.
He tried to be able to be trying to be well.
So you see you're gonna be safe.
I've always cared that everything.
He sat me and put me out and then get back in to see about this.
Well, and my daughter was already getting.
Our concern is your safety point of order.
The issue for us is structure itself and we understand the concerns what we need to work on.
The structure and innovation that will help us understand the condition of structure and the potential overstruction.
Okay.
No more questions.
Okay.
Um let's speak the Rose Paul.
Uh while you didn't give me her time.
Okay.
Uh good afternoon, commissioners.
Um, my name is Rose Hill.
I'm president of the Women Hill Lines Navy Association.
Uh, just a little bit quickly about who we are and what we do.
We're very active in the association.
Um, this is not our first rodeo.
Uh we were just recently gonna have a cleanup in our neighborhood in January where we had canceled through the weather.
Um our responsibility is to go down and we help those in need.
Um, we have had a similar issue like this before in our neighborhood, uh, and we came in and we helped them.
Um unfortunately since February, uh, we have not had a code officer come to our neighbor association.
Every month we had that good relationships.
I know we were short uh code uh officer and I know that the officers do a good job in our neighborhood.
We work together, we have relationship, open relationship communication, but I think somewhere here the communication got dropped.
If we had known this was happening, we would have immediately come in to help.
Because what's happened here is if you have somebody that's elderly, they're sick, uh they don't have the lack lack of knowledge of resources, where to go, who would contact, how the city operates, what the rules and regulations are, what the codes are, we do.
Um I've been doing this for 40 years here at the city.
Um civil rights uh act of grassroots leader in the in my community, and I'm also uh overall the presidents of district two.
We all try to communicate and we all try to work with a court officers.
Here what I see is happening is um they yesterday there was a lot of trash in that neighborhood and we hadn't got to that area because we were very in the in the back.
So uh my apologies we hadn't got to that area.
But if we had known and had that communication of what was happening here, we would have already had them with an engineer, we would have already contacted, we have people in our J constructions in our community.
We would reach out to them uh to say these people need some help.
Um I think what we're I'm here today is asking for them to give not demolish the house because I think that that house is not demolition.
We have worse houses in uh government hill right now.
I have TO2 Mason Street that's in worse condition that theirs is in.
We were able to have the city come in, their re foundation work on 802.
We can go back and research that one.
We had $50,000 uh raised in government hill, had that house for the brand new kit on there.
Right now there's two people uh have been hooked outside to do the repairs.
Uh the daughter uh one of the uh ladies' why the other gentleman was has has problems working.
My main concern here is yes I see that there is some severe need and some severe concern there.
But we have people here that don't want to leave at home.
Is it safe?
Probably not but I think if we could come in granting us the association the opportunity to come in and to finish up the cleanup and come in bring and try to uh have get a meeting to we have we have actually Tuesday come in and be able to say with the engineers or somebody what can we do to come in and help these people because right now the association is that's what that's what our responsibility is we care about our community and you have two seniors here that excuse me that my heart goes out to them.
My mother is 105 years old she's still alive God bless her but these people need help and so I'm asking that you uh not demolition this house you give us an opportunity to get in what we do we have a reputation of getting in and helping and getting the job done so I'm not here to tell you asking you saying give us you know we're we're we want to come in and help we will get the job done if you give us that opportunity and give us I want to I could tell you it's not to be 30 days at least 90 days to get us in there to really get somebody to really come in and evaluate as I'm hearing today I didn't see an engineer report I didn't see the electrical report from the city I didn't see uh a roof uh estimate of groups uh you asked that Tim what is the cost going to be that's a good question because I think we need to go back to do an analysis walk into the entire perimeter of the property get a thorough analysis of what is that exactly going to be needed get inside right away and clean that house up and help them so she can have uh they fix that that uh ramp to get it fixed there's a lot of resources out there what's happening here is in general they don't know what they don't know who to talk to they I I commend the way you try to help uh but I think still lack of knowledge and their age they just don't understand they don't comprehend you can you can tell them to their blue in the face but they just don't understand.
So I'm asking this compassion today uh to not demolition that house give us an opportunity if we do not cannot come in and fulfill within say 90 days come back with an actual report of what we've come up with or who we contacted then I can say that's demolition it.
But right now I say not don't take away your let's see what we can do to fix this and give us an opportunity we work with them a long time and I have done some great work in the neighborhood I've worked with satan in the past so what we're doing here is that um I just like I said I don't know why um we want to contact them because they and this happens in February.
So we're working around the neighborhoods diligently to constantly have helping uh our seniors in the neighborhood those are our first priority so like I said I know that they've got a lot of work and uh God bless them they do they're doing the job okay they are doing a job but I think here is that we need to come together code uh and us in the community JD construction is right down there sitting street I call them they can come back I'm sure they'll go in the help uh do something but right now I'm asking you to give me the opportunity to command with resources uh evaluations I think the COVID to what we can do to preserve this house and help these people because I think that we owe them they are the foundation of our community they were there before before I'm I was born raised in that neighborhood and uh these people were there way before me.
They before I was even divers but I think it's our responsibility to help our seniors um and right now they need so I'm asking you to sincerely take into consideration uh what we can do um I speak by my reputation um because I've got his before this is not my first rodeo and 802 excuse me is good and what we did the same situation came here.
We came to the city asking for help that house is even worse condition because the second house literally falling out what we did we moved them out.
There's a container front of the house and we moved all the furniture in there.
So now right now we're in the house is being the foundation the roof has already been done so I ask you please uh take that in consideration association have the ability to tax no we do not but we can we can we can definitely we have to have a fundraiser to help them some way I don't know what I don't they know that they work back we don't have those kind of funds we don't as far as money's concerned we cannot come in and uh guarantee that we're gonna come in to fix all the problems with money we can't do that.
And we can contact somebody that can come in and say, uh we you know with the construction company who will need to come in and donate some materials, and they know they're registered in the city of San Antonio, they know the rules and regulations, and they know whether they can do it or they can't.
But we don't know that until we can approach them with giving the permission and the time to come into it.
We don't have we don't have any cash.
Our organization is not to come in.
Our our membership is based on our on our membership duties.
So we don't have the foundation or the the financial aspects to come in and help them fix that house.
But what we do have is we have knowledge, we have communication, we have no we know who to go to.
And we could talk to to come in and be able to evaluate the situation.
This is the first time that we heard this.
Had we had had more time back in February, I guarantee by now, they would be they wouldn't have the house level, we would have had it, they would have had a cleanup, they would have everything.
We can't what we can do is we can go in there right away, finish cleaning up all that needs to be cleaned up.
Everything you saw there within 30 days, I that I can guarantee you, we can go out there and do it because we've done it before.
And you can ask the code.
We came in and we cleaned up a house and a person that was living in was a hoarder, completely hoarder.
And we we we provided the the the uh donations far as getting the trader, getting out there doing the cleaning up.
So volunteers uh organizing, I'm good at that.
We can do that.
We can do that, but as far as funds, no, because we need to be out there.
And if if worse came to worse, we could plan a fundraiser, but to immediately say, you know, we have funds on hand, no, because we just found out about this about last week when we got the notification stick.
Do you understand that you have an engineer available immediately to I don't have one, no, I don't have one immediately, but we can find one because we do it.
We have work with engineers in our within our neighborhood, and we have two engineers that live in our neighborhood.
So that's why I'm saying I I can't I can't promise something.
All we're asking is for time, um a little consideration because we just found out about this.
Had we known more, I would have I would have been more than happy to have had uh an engineer report for you, sir, and uh been able to say yes we can do this and the other.
All I'm asking you is that this is a th our organization, our neighbor association, very well known in our community for helping and getting job to job done.
And all I'm asking for is have a good consideration for these people, give us some time to get in there.
And we have not gone inside the house.
So um I I I am retired.
I used to have uh uh room modeling business.
I I don't do that anymore.
But I when I do then I can see what we can do to help them, so I make up a particular speaker.
Thank you.
Um speaker and David and sorry, having to work in um the preview from the property.
Uh live stream.
Um issues that is not supposed to be application is uh anything about the email.
Okay.
Um the time is 1209 p.m.
We're gonna take the short resources and 1215 p.m.
and we are resuming uh our session.
We are still on two one five.
The uh um the next speaker is Robert.
I'm sorry, I don't know.
That's a good guy.
So uh so yeah, good afternoon, everyone.
Uh you can do it.
And if these uh state in Maine and the City Council.
All right.
So uh yeah, my name's uh uh Robert Macatee.
Uh I'm uh Council 10, is that right?
Uh like North uh County.
And um I'm actually the owner of two eleven room, so I'm a neighborhood.
Um and I've had that property since about 2015.
Uh so I've had about a good ten years of knowledge of what's going on in this uh uh so I'm advocating kind of for two things today.
Uh number one, you know, I know Eastern Albama a little bit.
We've talked several times when I've been out there, uh both in English and Spanish, so and we'll get both.
Um kind of assessed the situation out there across these ten years and um I think there's a couple of things going on.
Well number one, you know, I had a similar situation with my grandfather.
He lived in his house till he was eighty-four uh when his wife and my grandmother passed away.
Uh he was unable to take care of the house on his own, which started getting a little bit worse and worse.
I didn't get this bad, obviously, but he came in and we got him out of it.
So I think number one, that's what needs to happen here.
It's very clear that even in his own words, both mentally and physically, they're not able to keep this going.
You know, and I knew him ten years ago, so I've seen it slowly decline year upon year, day upon day.
So uh so number one, I think that's what needs to happen.
In terms of the property, uh, I am advocating for it to be demolished.
Um, I'm a licensed HBAC technician.
I've seen the property myself, laid eyes on it.
So I have to do maintenance on my property.
It's in a very bad way.
Uh it's gonna be getting worse every single year.
Uh in the last couple of years that new structure has popped up uh and it's expanded, or I guess if it was a shed, now it's a house, a second house behind the house.
And I think that's where we're getting some of the commentary about, you know, hey, my other options are too small.
I mean, they have probably you know, half a dozen people living there or more.
Um, and so there's a lot going on.
Um so kind of moving forward here, um, you know, it's not a just a recent misfortune.
It's been a chronic years long situation.
Um there's been some issues out there.
Um, you know, uh I remember he had a boat stolen out of his front yard, uh so it's been some crime.
I think there was a uh indigenous person found on the railroad tracks across the road, uh dip.
Um the whole easement's covered in trash, uh both his and others.
Uh illegal dumping is going on back here all the time.
Uh so it it really is a a huge problem spot for that area.
Uh it was it was owned industrial for a very long time.
Now it's not.
Um so you know, I understand, you know, I I I'm kind of really conflict.
I was conflicted about even coming here because you know it's his property, we keep his property rights, but it's the city's easement, it's the neighborhood, it's the area.
You know, it's a tough thing, it's a tough situation.
I'll just leave it at that.
But the the property is in a very bad way.
Structure is dilapidated, it's been expanded a few times on its own, and he's not able to do it anymore.
You know, and it's uh it seems brutal to say that, you know, I'm saying yes, take them out of their home for 30 something years.
But at some point, it is m is more cruel not to.
And uh I believe we reached that point here, both in structure and in the family.
So uh that's what I'm advocating for today.
I know my time's up.
Really thank y'all for letting me kind of bump up here.
Uh I've got to run back to work.
Uh so thank y'all.
Uh and the final speaker, um what are you doing on the uh picture and daughter?
Okay, both afternoon might implode.
Okay, thank you.
I can see your name and your student concept.
My my name is Modern Matter Navancy Council 10.
Um I'm here this morning to be on speak on behalf of my clients.
Um the daughter's owner.
Oh, the owner's daughter.
My parents are out in the and I don't know about the Income.
So I just want to ask for some time to get things.
The only ones that are living in the household are my parents.
And my friend who is my mom's bike.
Um I didn't know about neighbor association until just now.
And what I'm asking is to can all us too far for the neighborhood association to get because they have the knowledge that we don't.
And resources that we don't have a lot of here tonight.
Thank you.
Okay, um dangerous premises, Officer Cynthia something.
There's a couple of things I wanted to clarify uh for the board if I could.
Um when I first came across this property, I was a code officer, and uh there had been an ongoing issue with the amount of rubbish and outside placement in the property.
Uh a citation that previously been issued um when I came, the property still wasn't cleaned, and I issued another citation to Mr.
Maldonado.
Uh he did not uh hearing for it uh for either of the citations and at that point uh the city created a I created a report if the city had the property abated.
Uh we abated that property in February, uh I believe on the 19th.
That abatement ran uh $1,956.
It wasn't much longer after that.
Um once we got the property abated, that's when I saw the condition of the house.
I could see it more clearly because we had cleaned all the items that were stacked up around the yard and around the house.
Um that's where the dangerous premise case began.
Uh it wasn't long after that that the property began to gather rubbish and egress issues again.
Um they had two trees in the front yard that were posing a threat to the structure and to the occupants uh at that point.
We um we went to the senior assistance program and we got some money to take the trees down for them.
Um that came to 1475 dollars.
Both those citations were 300, those were never to be uh so um when he says that we took things, I just want to explain the city had to abate the property to get it cleaned up.
You saw the recent photos, that's where we're at again after um having cleaned the property already.
Um as soon as we got in there, we understood that uh there was an issue with disability and an issue with elderly, and that's why we immediately signed them up for the hardship.
Um that was eight months, and during that eight-month period, no work was done on the house, and the property began to be uh littered again with outside placement and rubbish.
Um it was only after the case was uh submitted for BSD that uh Mr.
Maldonado uh wanted to try to get things taken care of uh around the structure.
Um the work that he did.
I just want to remind the board uh there were no permits pulled for um there was no stop work order, and there's no inspector.
Um no permit was ever pulled, so no inspector is coming to inspect anything.
I'm not sure about the confusion with that issue.
Um we issued a notice to vacate for good reason the safety and the the hazards that are presented to the architects.
We've asked them to please them because of Miss Maldonado's uh medical condition, we did not cut the utilities.
When I dealt with adult protective services, I dealt with Officer Connor, and she stated that they have helped them get resources several times to get their utilities paid.
Um they also helped them get some FEMA funds that Mr.
Maldonado referred to.
Um Miss Guadalupe told Officer Connor that Mr.
Maldonado took the funds from FEMA that were supposed to be used to repair that bathroom and unit repaired some other home.
Um we have uh done what we could to try to get them into assistance programs through operation rebuild uh under one route, and because of the taxes, we have been unable to secure them any assistance.
When I came with a warrant on January 14th, that warrant, uh nobody was home, uh but that warrant was only for the accessory structure.
We did not enter the home.
The only time we've ever been in the home is when the owners were present.
Um for us is to bring the the case to you and then the decisions you make in the air with the next time.
We stop all we stop all enforcement at that point.
Um we look for assistance for them.
Um we involve NHSC to also look for assistance for them.
We we looked at several different programs and each time they did not qualify.
Specific time, right?
It's eight months.
During that eight month period that we stated no work is done.
Can it be that be done again?
Or is it a one-time only?
Um it has not been my experience that we do it again, especially since we've already issued a notice to become sure.
Can I just clarify this as Melissa on the Deputy Director?
Where it's a nine month uh times in my appointment.
All right, I'm just refreshing my memory and good people who don't understand it.
Or uh pace or the public for that to know this limited two specific I'm going to move with the property located at the two of one rule.
There's a public nuisance for City Code Chapter Six Article.
Sorry about that.
Okay.
Uh I'm with the property located at the two one five Woolman Avenue.

You stated earlier eight.
And how many times?
Okay, so the first uh basement was one thousand dollars and sixty-six, and the cost of the second abatement was seven hundred and seventy-eight dollars.
Uh both room, the cost for both the bands totally one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four dollars.
So as of today, uh, that's it.
Uh seven seven eight, seven hundred or something.
All right.
Um gas on there, right?
Um that one of them was just water was turned off on April 20, 25.
And you shouldn't let it get the gas meter in the front, there's no meat in it.
Um the foundation with the permanent in the case.
It wasn't they did get the foundation work without permanent.
They got the safety.
Um the foundation is the clear with no permanents.
Uh make sure that the worker that they that is done, and they are permanent.
Pretty much.
Um, so yeah, now there's a permit uh on it, or no.
I believe so.
I believe there is a current act.
And that's the only permit.
That's only how much of that much of it.
We did the debris that was on that one.
That was it.
That was off of the house.
Oh, well, no permanent.
So what do you think?
So the two sheds are still left and the rest of the house.
Yes, sir.
So both of those accessories are still standing, or the two accessories you're talking about.
These demo orders are actually one of those accessories that looks like the technique's good.
You're in the you've got to do it.
Like your copy, you're made in it with the new version.
And I heard the property in April where equally winding is one of them.
But before I have been careful house since twenty eighteen when my hand has a right um lift, so that's why there's no skirt, and they haven't put the skirt back on because the inspector has to come out and the engineer has to come out and you have the clear it is done in the correct one.
Um the house because of the disability.
The wiring of the house is the wiring from nineteen four.
And they would uh put the insulation on the once the roof is done with the top between the walls under that house.
And it's the race that you and the tenure stuff.
And on that second structure, that needs to be a like garage.
But my grandma doesn't use it with the plants and the structure behind it with a tent and fall to the wall.
I think they can't get their dogs.
The foundation book was already done.
The gentleman doing the foundation, so he was going to go under the house to clear all the debris on the bed.
And that's what uh when the book applies lady called me.
She wanted to see the house.
I said I'm not there on my doctor's department, but go ahead and go in.
She says I see some guys uh under the house, and I said yes, they're uh cleaning the yes, that's correct.
They were there and the permanent wasn't um until January the second because y'all had like the holidays that we all have.
So they actually didn't do work, they would just prepare and just remove debris and the site and all that good.
We had a flood, like uh the sewer line that runs between the alley had busted and it was all running through the house.
Under the house and stuff, like um like this much water.
And yeah, it was nasty.
So it drew like a bunch of trash under there because I think we were like, you know, this trash could under the house.
So the foundation, you're just waiting on the engineer to come out and do the final re engineer's report.
And you said who was going to help you?
Casa B?
Did they give you any documentation?
Like uh paper, uh paper saying the which companies would help me for blue and the people on something called uh blueprint.
Called me and said, Yes, your uh your application is in and uh so I'm just waiting.
So nobody's gonna help you through the application approved, correct?
Is that approved to you or you're waiting for a proof?
But it's just um the what's that checkbook off the top?
I talked to Barbara from Blueprint.
She says you're on the list, so we should be called in check your food.
I don't know.
I have been approved by Casa Verde, but then she gave me a sheet with different agencies, the ones that are circled, and I talked to Blueprint, Barbara, and she says, You're on the list, just wait on the email saying that when we can come out and start doing it.
But the roof has to be done first before they can do the insulation and the wiring of the house.
And once they do, they'll put the insulation on the ceiling and on the walls, we under the floor.
And I asked him how do you do it under the floor?
He says, They run in the insulation and then with the chicken poop water, they staple it to keep it up.
So that's why there's no spurgeon also because they so you got three companies out of the list, and you're just gonna waiting list for the three companies to come in.
Yes, you know, yeah.
So really can't even give us a date because they have to get a home home there, which is one of the requirements the timeline, and you can't have it because you have a continuity to do this.
Well, what the gentleman from Casa depictoni from that date, I had a whole year for them to complete the job, and I asked him, do I get um permits or stuff?
He says how we take care of it.
Yeah, but in the board we can't give you a year.
No, no, no, no, that's what I'm saying.
What he said.
Right.
But I'm saying here we have to have it.
And you don't have that yet, so you can't.
Yes.
So you don't even know when the guy's gonna come in and do it.
The timeline you don't have, we use.
Yes, we understand.
Is there any work on what accessory?
Well, they had talked about uh take tearing it down, uh stuff.
But um like I said that was sentimental because the back end was the chicken coop, and as a little kid I used to go get the chickens um eggs and stuff, so it's like rememberable, but it's the interior, it used to be like uh like a farm court or something, and then they covered it because she had the plants in there, but I can take the inside part out of the exterior with the roof and stuff to
Because the back end was the chicken coop, and as a little kid, I used to go get the chickens, um, eggs and stuff, so it's like removal, but it's the interior, it used to be like uh like a farm court or something, and then they covered it because she had the plants under that inside part out of the exterior stuff to Madam Chair, I'll make a motion.
I would like to reset this case until we get more information of how this is gonna be done for they don't have timelines, we don't have time on it.
I would like to reset for the earliest then the most convenient we can't be set up from the early next available.
The next available session, if that would be possible, because we don't have enough information with the information for that.
Yeah, we'll discuss it.
We'll reject the information in terms of timeline.
That that's the problem is they can't give her a timeline right now because it's on a waiting list.
We can't have a timeline, and if we give her 30 days, then you have a problem then.
I would like to set it to where we give the there are people that are doing it, they just don't have a timeline for you.
Okay, yeah.
That's what the structure is.
Okay.
So are we able to split the uh accessible structures from the line structure?
Uh because I have an opinion that the accessory structures are beyond easy that can be repaired.
Uh I so I uh I prefer the status line structure.
Can I split them?
Well I mean for the even for a research in the room and looking order on the circuit uh uh you might suggest I really like something like that.
I think you've got to do it in the main especially issue.
It's already done.
Uh in the and you can on an amendment, but mine is to allow them to find because they don't have the time, and we can't give them 30 days because once you lock a date in the real obligated to either demo it, or it comes back here.
But yes, that's reasonable if you can offer that in the limits, but I just want to name to be set by I overlooked some of that other stuff.
Yeah.
Um that often be done as an amendment.
But we're saving the main structure for right now so they get a date.
For us to do the date.
That's the trying to make if we're resetting it, we need to reset it.
If you're not sure, is that correct?
And that's the simply stuff.
It's like the a few, a few letters covered like the whatever something some sort of documents that that's what we're resetting for us to document.
Specifically we're resetting for meeting the requirements of the three points.
Three points would be what is the scope of what's the money for the building how it's not meeting.
So mostly it's the obviously reset to the main disposal.
Yeah, because if you look at your timeline, we have to have all that in one, we don't.
But also the engineers report could be added in those work because they have to get back to the starting time.
And all that can be that could be added in there as well.
I don't know if Casa will give us the financials.
I don't know if that's but we can get the rest of the land and then you can say there were three people.
She's gonna live and they can provide us that information of approximate data X, Y, Z, whatever they do.
And that that's fine with me.
I just wanted to make sure that we start here so we all think it's stuff the process of the other stuff we can all that's fine with the main structure we can secure that reset and the documentation.
You can okay vote folder because that can be added to the staff to hold documentation.
But she doesn't get it because she's still on the blue.
Alright, so my motion was to reset the main structure and I'll just add everything so we don't have to uh amend is secure the main structure require a document from whoever is providing the probably from the individual construction company and and is it and and Casa's letter the letter of intent and then the construction companies to divide to supply the documentation as the full list of what they're done and the cost come from the company, not process demolition of the two structures, uh one and two, accessory structures.
What was the looking document too, right?
Secure illumination and then documentation.
Uh is there anything else we need to add?
Okay, yeah.
I'll read it, I'll read it again.
All right.
Yeah, because I now that I add that to it, I'll have to do that.
All right.
Um, yeah, I got we're going to start we're starting the same motion hopefully.
Yes.
Uh madam chair, I'll um yeah, since we've already put it on the thing for the reset, can I amend the I didn't read in the the fifth yet?
But we were reset.
But since we're gonna add the demo, I just got into the record, we have to go through the record.
A full so uh we vote on the reset first.
No, we're voting on the original.
Okay.
Which was reset.
Well that's what I'm saying.
We vote it.
We vote on the reset first, and then the other you'll read you'll make a new motion.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So okay.
Okay, so um I was saying that we buy the uh unit to say uh all into uh or all uh yeah, all in favor of the motion as is the reason I think because it's death.
Okay.
All right, so the first one is two for name.
All right.
I uh Madam Chair, I motion I moved at the property located at 1906, Texas Avenue.

The baiting, uh the abatement cost it was 2,263.
That was the back area, right?
Yes, sir.
That's the only abatement?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
The mention is on um 64 2025, an email was said to B B and A O HP respond back.
Yes, sir.
So due to the new ordinance, the the OHP review has completed like uh prior to that, when like after I I have assigned to the case.
So to the due to the new ordinance, any property that OHP review completed before September 2020 uh uh four needs to be really.
So that's what we do.
You send a new email with updated photos to office of the sort of reservation to uh make the review.
What about BBP?
They can distance for that.
You can both be important.
What about them?
Did they respond back?
They both concurred that the property is not subject to the program or have a like historic.
They they say D shut is not required.
Okay.
The day we got it back, but I didn't see it anywhere in the note that they could build the program that got back to you.
I didn't see that anywhere in the note.
But you did send an email in your back with one and no big I I mentioned it in my outlines again.
Okay, I mean I was thinking uh so there's no vacant exposure displayed button.
There's no buttons multiple.
It was in the past.
I I was working closely with the property owner.
There was also uh before June uh June 6, 2025, there was an RB that was activated by uh individuals.
I was working for the property owner, he actually complied with uh the RBs and the properties.
So at the at the beginning were our uh we were taking the structure with an accessory structure because we were treating the RV as the structure because it's not self-propelled a vehicle, it's just uh camping RV, but uh the good news is the probably RP5 model.
Thank you.
Um I originally had planned on which it's right when well should I do older than I can do far with drive.
So I originally planned on uh carrying that house.
Uh after the fire, I mean uh the shoot off the original stuff.
So uh had that post-act ticket, we'll extinguish circumstances as far as why and this is the on so fast one uh issues with the number of years, but for the car wrecking January of 234, which is that legs are two spinal surgeries like that one several things that you didn't obviously have to go second, or the period lungs processing basically back to that because I'm just gonna so I didn't need a pattern surgery to like separate and uh fact uh uh I guess called the long before the third.
And my response to it was uh well I sh I should it's been my position for where you're gonna have to sell I had to be in the screen.
And uh selling stuff and originally I uh wanting to sew it to the next thing, yeah.
But unfortunately it's just like so uh and then I had the surgery picked up third one archiving and uh the prior two I found back three I'd be able to have so and I could take actual happiness.
It's happening something.
That's what happens, so I was thinking of some of these actually one.
Um thing I wanted to do was uh I have a the summary from the uh damage assessment report, uh done by uh school boards, uh said here I think this is important damage to the back wall of the home and a few thrusts.
The reason why I want to say that is that the majority of of the the actual frame being still usable.
The house is that required.
Um I wanted to uh sell the house that you like buying it, but it's gonna have to be a whole week button.
Most of us don't see far as black is just what he said is the back even thrust is kind of like would have damage the ease and the back of damage to the wall frame, but the rest of the house to bring me is still a decent condition, still the house is secured at this time.
Uh that little colour that was in the kitchen, I wanted to closed up and say that just put it well in the inside.
Um, I try and put another piece of that.
Um last year or so I've I've had lots of people contact me, you know, interesting house.
And uh just I made another on the list here uh twenty might be a few dollars and my intention is of course it's all you don't whether now I could sell transplant uh it's uh you have an open house on uh property uh on Saturday, February contact all these people, call them and I have it working looking for inspection and have them know what the feature was, but it does come out uh getting into it, we want the house.
Um personal idea is dead next to the house, battery, and some back taxes and testing judges.
Taking care of it, and uh these four credit cards that we live in right now five years ago.
So um the property as it is now with the the house and cranking tax, break the lottery.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Um with with the the house uh frame we tag, uh I think that I could get an offer or another care about the screen what needs to be paid.
That's not when it works best when you have to be all in all this house and just use somebody to build in the start of how it just I'm not saying exactly the new way, but I'm just saying it makes it a lot harder financial.
And it's a lot of the slides, I can take down I would say that um fruit surprise the house was going to be up for bounced around on the compliance officers that were at least three, um last year I I was doing my best to apply with everything with that paint that happens before that happened.
There were at least three song kind of came into the three.
Um but for last year I I was doing my best to apply what everything was asking me as it was.
Before that happened, um I had a uh third keeping yard uh roll by jumpster walk to the house and uh another thing is I have uh had a the problem you talking about was they that was actually a uh um strange usually old son of mine uh that had just started supplying the property.
It took a long time to get him out of there uh because water right so actually had to process him out of there and that's and uh what I that was something that the previous book device of and uh so I I worked on that and then I just told uh me and uh training my youngest son went out there when they was range from this there's possible um have called a cop twice to get you know the property off the backyard wouldn't get spots.
Okay, my point was just I I've done my best and and also I have uh I done the trespass authorization for the police department so that you know the property and so I tried to do it by right quick, but I the last two years one because you do any sun probably.
So what I'm asking is the extension uh to find a fire with a house as doors.
Um get full some time that you want to buy get the house uh closed and that you don't want to release the number of time or something, uh get started.
It didn't uh he's a fire inspector uh root with that was uh compliance office, I believe.
I had a hard time buying the right office.
No, it's not the fire department.
It was it's it's something it's one of the departments of compliance, it's kind of weird.
Uh really hard to find on the internet.
Um we don't have anyone that does fire assessments within um the DSD that would be the fire marshal's office.
So I could enforce the team with just to clarify.
It's uh it's an initial S and then floor is that number one file.
Yeah, but at the top I didn't see like from whatever, but that that's the clarification.
No, I don't mean I just wanted to know we okay.
I I said I had a hard time finding two ports.
Uh some time to find the five settles some of the financial idea of what kind of financial issues you would expect what you need.
Well, I have uh liability seven thousand.
So I just need uh originally I hope we know explaining the answer.
That's why I don't know.
Basically I what I wanted to do is get people there, get bids, take the idea that could that do it.
And uh and then pay just as transfer as possible, half of the bottom.
I said I don't have the money.
I I walked up.
And the previous object to sale that's a bigger and what was the problem, and probably that obviously did this.
What was the property?
So they couldn't get the money on the originally over a year ago about buying offer from this that painting the algorithm out of the happening.
And uh market has all but uh uh and then I told them and they asked if I could be uh and uh they kind of acted like we have new guys and then later on but this this made that impossible right now realize there's no way it's the house that has to be it has to be transferred for the other guy that uh we have asked them for time talking about time, how much time I think that would be better because that gives you uh getting rolling on the house about the left thing uh uh uh one of them three weeks probably told it to it for however it is to sell to somebody as you and uh yeah.
All the people are consuming they're all they're all in the level people someone.
Um is uh guy that we're gonna stream uh public for the last year.
Um the house is here.
Oh, you've been more working in the house.
So there's no signs anybody getting and yes, I know there's that call for my argument.
Um last year one would make the full out late and that we don't know the next time we all uh after we was out taken away uh we can a house and we take a look at the uh crap.
Does the outside of the house have nothing there?
I'm I'm asking for a hundred.
We did receive one public comment that we won't be into the back.
Good afternoon, thank you for notifying us about the item on the BSB agenda.
Our office is familiar with this address and would like to provide some background information and context.
Since 2024, our staff has made multiple attempts to communicate with the owner's son who has it on the property.
During this time, neighbors contacted our office with concerns related to animal care services and code compliance.
At that time, the main structure on the property had sustained fire damage, and the son of the primary owner was reportedly living in a shed on the premises.
August of 2025, a criminal trust has notice was signed, and the son was removed from the property due to ongoing reports of threats towards ACS personnel, lack of property maintenance, uh accumulation of trash in the backyard, and homeless activity that negatively impacted neighbors' quality of life.
Although the original BSD hearing was scheduled for November, it is our understanding that the property owner began cleaning up efforts, which resulted in the hearing being rescheduled to this month.
Neighbors have consistently reported concerns about this property and primarily related to ACS issues and assess of trash and concerns that the structure was unseen.
Please let us know if any additional information would be helpful by us district one.
Yes, from Allison Martinez, City Council, uh District One.
On oh received on Friday, January the sixteenth at 4 p.m.
I'll move the property located at not you know too far.
Well we should allow sixty days to sell the property, and if not so then the building will be demolished, and the property would have 50 days after sale to be repaired, otherwise to be demolished.
Um the property or if we're not here uh came for home to allow the second says we want to have it.
Uh council.
We can't order a repair and say we're allowing somebody to fill the property, correct?
Uh uh the board is allowed to order something to basically doing things uh providing for total 20 days for the body to be reported.
Uh hand was taken off uh singing statement if it was not full in sixty days, then it was okay and more and Joe Sweden.
All right.
Hi.
