Yes, and I don't have the details of what the fire, the cause of those fires were.

The days were certain.

I think the one on 427 was on uh 227, the one on 405 was on 318, so that distance was a bit, um, but I don't have those those report details.

Just curious, thank you.

Additional questions.

We will move into the individual case presentations.

First item is going to be 6254 West Commerce Street.

Good morning, board.

For the record, my name is Crystal Town, Dangerous Premise Officer for the City of San Antonio Development Services Department.

The structure being presented today is located is located at 6254 West Commerce Street with a recommendation for demolition in accordance with City Code Article 8, Chapter 6, 160.

The first this is the first time 6254 West Commer Street is being presented before the board.

Please note on September 9th of 2025 and February 3rd of 2026.

A dangerous assessment response team inspection was conducted.

The inspection is a collaborated inspection with a variety of city departments that included the San Antonio Police Department.

The legal description is NCB 12324, block 5, lot 3, located in City Council District 6.

The owner on record is Vasquez Natividad S with a mailing address of 6254 West Commerce Street, San Antonio, Texas, 78237.

The owner is not present today.

Does the board wish to continue?

Yes, please.

Okay.

San Antonio Police Officer Pena is here to speak.

The Office of Historic Preservation confirmed on March 4th, 2026.

The property is not eligible for historic designation.

An original inspection regarding 6254 West Commerce Street was conducted on September 8th of 2025.

On March 20th of 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was posted at 6254 West Commerce Street.

On March 1 March 19th, 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was mailed to Natividad S.

Vasquez.

The certified receipt was not returned.

On September 9th, 2025 and February 3rd, 2026, an administrative warrant was executed to obtain photographs of the structure.

No scope of work or financial proof or letter of credit or engineers report has been provided.

No permits have been obtained.

A notice to vacate was posted on the property on February 19th of 2026.

This is the front elevation of the structure taken on February 3rd of 2026.

The fascia boards lack weather protection, and the roof covering is worn.

Multiple areas, the siding has been removed.

So here is a view of a water leak.

In the kitchen sink, they do not have a proper plumbing, so they have a PVC pipe connected to the sink, so when they use it, the water discharges into the rear property.

This is going to be the left elevation of the structure.

Multiple windows are boarded up and the overhang is rotted.

So this is going into the front door, and this was taken on September 9th of 2025.

There are large cracks in the foundation.

The foundation is exposed due to no floor covering.

The sheetrock is just taped on.

So this was taken on September 9th of 2025.

This is the kitchen area going to the rear property.

There are plastic tarps placed over the ceiling to keep the elements out.

This is February 3rd of 2026.

Again, work has been done to the sheetrock and to the wall system.

However, there have been no permits obtained to correct any issues that may have caused the rot or the damage to the sheetrock.

And this is a closer view of the plumbing fixtures that they have added, the PVC pipe due to improper plumbing.

So on February 3rd of 2026, this is the hallway bathroom.

The plumbing fixtures are removed, and there are plastic tarps placed to keep water from spreading.

This is a closer view of the decking.

It is exposed and it does have water damage.

Again, February 3rd of 2026.

This is one of the bedrooms going off the hallway.

The sheetrock of the ceiling is taped, but it is the texture is cracked, and it does show the sheetrock is starting to detach along with large amount of items posing an egress hazard.

It's a danger to the first responders along with the occupants.

This was taken on September 9th of 2025.

This is another bedroom in the in the structure.

There is an egress issue again, posing a hazard to first responders or the occupants.

They have tape trying to keep the remaining sheetrock in place.

So this was taken on February 3rd of 2026.

That same bedroom.

They do have an American flag as well covering the ceiling to try to keep the elements out.

So on September, in September on the Dart, this was one of the pieces of evidence found at the property.

And here is another piece of evidence found at the property on September 9th.

And this was the evidence found on the Dart in February.

Which any building or structure which has any or all of the conditions or defects here and after described shall be deemed to be a dangerous building and a hazard to public health, safety, and welfare, provided that such conditions of defects of dilapidation, subsistence, or unfitness for human habitation pose a threat or potential threat to life, health, property, or human safety.

The building is unsecured from unauthorized entry to the extent that it could be entered or used by vagrants or other invited persons as a place of harborage, or could be entered or used by children.

Ordinance number 85915 and 24-17-97.

Staff recommends demolition and for the structure to be vacated.

That concludes my presentation of 6254 West Commerce Street.

Thank you.

Do we have any questions to the code officer?

Yes, there is current power.

We have issued a notice to vacate, so uh power will be disconnected.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Additional questions.

There are none.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Officer Pent, if you would please come forward.

And sir, if you would please state your name and your station.

Good morning, board.

Good morning.

I'm Officer Anthony Pena.

I'm uh currently assigned to the uh West Patrol uh safe unit.

Uh been a part of the unit since uh 2023.

Been on the department for about 16 years.

I'm here to talk about CC 254 West Commerce.

Um back in October of 24.

Uh we actually executed a uh Dart warrant um on the neighboring houses at uh and that's at that time it's the first time that we kind of noticed 6254.

Um the owner of these properties uh at the neighboring houses uh quickly took control of the properties after we darted it, and during that time, uh while fixing the property, the owner continued to have issues with death and trespassing.

Um so she placed she placed a camera system uh with the placement of the cameras, she was able to provide our office with video footage of hand-to-hand drug transactions, um, vehicle stopping, um, obviously foot traffic coming and going from the from the house, um, as well as obviously they were there to monitor her house so she can see the trespassers actually going on her property, uh parking vehicles on in her driveway so they can go next door, stand by there for a couple minutes, and then uh and then leave.

In May of 24, um a previous tenant of that uh house of the neighboring house um was visiting over at 6254 West Commerce.

Well, at that location, he was assaulted by individuals living at 6254.

Uh police uh were called for an assault in progress, spoke to that victim.

Um he had visible injuries, uh witnesses, you know, advised that hey, the uh this individual was assaulted by you know persons from uh 6254 West Commerce.

However, unfortunately, um the victim was very uncooperative, didn't want to speak to police.

Um in August of 25, uh officers uh just so happened to be, you know, driving by the um the house at 6254, and they observed a stolen vehicle.

Um during that time, uh two persons were detained um from the vehicle.

Uh during that that detention, one of the suspects actually uh decided that they wanted to swallow heroin uh and openly admitted it to officers that she did swallow heroin.

Um that was handled, you know, accordingly, as far as you know what you know she was taken care of as far as medical and arrests were made that day.

So as Officer Town stated in September of 25, a Dart warrant was executed uh while clearing that home.

Um we found uh drugs in the restroom.

Prior to clear prior to trying to get everybody out of the house, it took a little while.

Um it took several minutes for people to actually you know exit the home.

Once we went in, that's when we discovered the drugs, however, they were just they were discovered in the restroom where they were trying to be, where they try to discard um flushed, you know, what we presume to be meth down the toilet.

The uh marijuana was found in the trash can.

Uh two persons were arrested on that day.

One uh had outstanding warrants, the other was on the drug possession and warrants as well.

In October of 25, our uh SAPD gun unit uh arrested a resident on a standing warrants for firearms related charge.

Um he also had a parole violation.

Um during that time, uh they were able to obtain a search warrant uh of that house and narcotics rob uh were also found.

Um November of 25 uh Dart warrant was executed at a separate address, 115 also.

I bring that address in because these addresses are all kind of tied together.

Um previously spoken about this address um during our last uh I believe it was our last meeting here for the BSB.

Uh during the executions of that DART warrant.

Um narcotics were located.

Uh six persons were arrested, and that's where CPS was called.

Uh the father um actually resides at 115 Alsib and his sons reside at 6254 West Commerce.

In January of 26, myself and officer Herrera made a traffic stop uh after observing a vehicle leaving the the home 6254.

Upon contact with the driver and passenger, the passenger was found to have uh purposely dropped uh methamphetamine in the back seat.

The meth was located and the passenger was arrested for for the possession.

Uh the driver was cited for his uh traffic violations.

In February of 26, a second Dart warrant was executed at 6254 West Commerce.

Uh while clearing the home, um the methamphetamine was discovered on a bedroom floor.

Uh once we discovered that covert detectives were contacted and uh a search warrant was executed.

During that that was the one of the final pictures that was that was put up.

Um during that the execution of that search warrant, over 70 grams worth of meth and 30 grams of heroin uh were found hidden throughout the bedroom.

Uh the drugs were discovered uh in small plastic baggies, obviously, as we saw, and that's kind of common for to be sold and distributed throughout the uh you know for individual usage.

Um the person occupying that bedroom was arrested.

Another person in the home was found to be in possession of the same two narcotics, however, it was on the you know personal the usage scale, um which was less less than a gram.

She was also arrested that day.

In February of 26, uh a call for service was made to the home regarding a theft.

Uh the complainant stated that they had lost some earbuds and they tracked them to the house.

Uh officers were able to locate the earbuds after contacting persons within 6254 West Commerce.

The earbuds were returned, um, and the victim at that point because they got their earbuds back, didn't want to follow through with any charges.

The home is in is about a thousand feet of two schools.

Uh you have one elementary school, uh, Linda B.

Johnson, and then on the opposite side, you have uh an idea school.

I believe it's idea Burke.

I'm not too familiar, but it's an idea school.

That concludes my presentation of 6254 West Commerce.

Thank you, sir.

Are there any questions of Officer Pena?

Mr.

Chair, this is Fred Henderson.

A thousand feet of a school.

Multiple houses on the same block.

Yes, sir.

Is that a high traffic area for children?

Yes, sir.

The school is elementary or the the uh it's an elementary school, and then the idea schools go up to I I'm not too familiar with them, but I'm pretty sure they go up to high school.

So that's a high traffic area for children to go to and from school.

Yes, sir.

And the people you deal with, you've dealt with at multiple houses, not just at one house.

Yes, sir.

It's kind of the same individuals that are kind of frequent.

That's why I brought up the separate addresses.

They all kind of they all kind of tied together with the same persons that were coming across.

And these are also related to other areas where they just go from one house over to these houses, correct?

They just kind of move along to the next, unfortunately, to the next uh what they look as opportunity.

And the owners of this property are part of the problem.

We haven't had any owner, we haven't had made contact with the owner, owner himself.

Um however, the occupants of that property that kind of claim ownership, uh, yes, they are the problem.

So the claimed owners, not the owner, but the right.

So the claimed owners, not the owner, but the right we like I said, we haven't made any contact with actual the actual owners, but the residents that are there for clarification, excuse me, the off the property owner is deceased, the daughter is living there.

But she's still not technically the owner because she's right.

So it's the claim owner, so an heir would be the owner.

So this is an ongoing process every week.

This is yes, this this house right here is an ongoing issue.

History, how long do you have it back?

I know Dart is two plus years.

Uh the history that I have here.

Um let's see.

I don't have the current history.

Uh I have it to where um up until last year, and it's we're into the teens worth of calls calls for search about 15 calls for service.

Uh, but like I said, I don't have up to date, so things that have you know uh some of the items that I talked about, I don't have that call history, obviously because they happen within 26.

I have all the way back to 25.

Um, so I don't have a an actual total number.

And then that doesn't include the calls that you know, obviously traffic stops that officers have made because they make their traffic stop at you know whatever block number they're on.

They're not going to use they may reference it in their reports where they came from, but they're not going to use the the actual physical address where the incident initially started per se.

But this just didn't happen in two years.

This has been an ongoing problem.

Oh, this has been an ongoing problem.

So all this time the kids are exposed to that whole area in there.

Thank you.

Additional questions.

Thank you very much, officer.

Thank you.

There are no other witnesses.

Thank you.

Question to the code officer, please.

Robert, go ahead.

This is Robert Bingy.

Um you mentioned that a the owners at one point had registered it into the vacant property program with the city.

Yes, sir.

And then what did anything did anything come of that?

Did that is that just a registry that nobody's living there?

Help me understand if they took proactive steps after then registering that.

Uh they have not.

So myself and uh representative from the vacant building program have reached out to the owners having the are attempting to get them to repair the structure to secure it.

Um, as you heard, we had to multiple times reach out to them to do um just the bare minimums on the property.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

Any additional questions?

And go ahead.

This is Ann Winer.

Uh the sign that was it for sale?

Uh it was talking about like uh submitting for loans and registering for like low uh interest rates to purchase properties that they own.

Oh, so it was really just an advertising yes.

No, sir, no permit.

They didn't have a permit to permits on the project.

Even though it's their property, they're advertising.

It are they supposed to have a permit for that?

I don't believe there is a permit requirement for that.

But that signal sign.

Well, the four sale sign is different.

That's why I'm asking because that's that's advertising a business, is it not?

Would that be or staff?

Is that a because you're advertising a business, even though it's private property, are they supposed to have a license to do it or a permit to put that sign up there?

No.

In some instances, this is Jenny Ramirez.

In some instances, yes, there would be a sign uh a permit required.

Uh I didn't see the photo of the uh the sign itself.

Do we have that?

Yeah, first one.

I think it was very first.

Just to make sure I answered the question specifically correctly.

Yeah, typically that would require because of the size of it, should require a permit.

Typically it may not even be allowed because of the residential on the distance.

I'm not sure if it's even far enough back onto the property.

Um it does get into those uh requirements.

Is I can't tell if it's actually the business, uh a general business or if it's for that specific location it's advertising for.

But yeah, typically we can uh we'll we'll get our sign inspectors involved in that that to investigate.

That's another day.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, because there is a requirement for signs.

You can put a for sale sign any day you want, but that's not a foresale, that's advertisement.

Um the utilities.

I noticed in some of those shots there was a whole bunch of electronic cords out the back door.

It looks like somebody's dragging them.

And they were in the kitchen, I do believe there were areas where cores were plugged in.

Uh there is no active CPS service.

The actual the ricer has been cut from a previous question.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

It looked like somebody was either plugging in to see if something was working or not.

Water?

And no water, sir.

There's no active water to the all the utility to cut is just been and they boarded it up.

Uh at the end of the month.

Um, yes, they did board it up.

And you named four abatements, correct?

Uh no, one abatement, uh, but there's been four times that we've had to contact them to let them know.

Oh, okay.

So what was the abatement?

Do we have a cost?

The abatement cost was uh done back in September of 2024 for 760 dollars.

And there's no other pending abatements?

Not not at this time.

Okay.

Thank you.

Additional questions.

There are none.

Thank you very much.

You may be seated.

Officer Pena, I think you're up again, sir.

And go ahead and again state your name and your station.

Yes, sir.

Good morning again, board.

Uh I'm Officer Anthony Pena.

Um currently assigned to the uh West Patrol uh Safe Safe Unit and been a part of the unit for the last three years and been on the department for the last six almost sixteen.

Here to talk on I'll be a little more brief on this one.

Um here to talk about 806 Oscindario.

Uh as stated, I started the safe unit in 2023.

And since then that house has been kind of a current reoccurring problem.

Um that's just since I got there.

So it's probably been obviously it's been in that that condition, vacated, vacant, uh, since I um since I got to the unit.

So it's probably been that way for quite some time now.

Uh during my encounters at the at the house, um, I've come across vagrants there who actually try to claim ownership of the house just because it was vacant and unsecured.

Uh one of the times that I made it out there, uh actually made an arrest because I was actually make able to make contact with somebody from this Houston-based um company that you know owned the house.

So they did I was able to get um some sort of or criminal trespass affidavit signed.

However, uh they just did not they never kept in contact over the over the three years that I was in, you know, contact with them, uh reached out to Officer Hasso, and we were able to kind of, you know, he did a lot more of the legwork as far as keeping in contact with this with his company out of Houston.

But it just seemed like they would listen and then let everything fall off to the to the wayside.

Uh the house definitely, you know, stayed unsecured.

Kind of obviously we saw in some of the pictures kind of boarded up, but not really.

So neighbors would constantly call our office, constantly call police because of the trespassers of vagrants that were on the property.

One of the other times I made it out to the property, um, there was a dog that was just kind of tied up to the chain link fence.

And my partner and I were like, well, there's nobody here.

So got ACS involved, uh, got the dog to ACS, so obviously better just better care for the dog.

Uh throughout the throughout the house, around the house, um, definitely drug paraphernalia, syringes left around, stuff like that.

That's common for you know vagrants to use because they feel that they have a place to hide or even stay because there's no ownership.

There's nobody that's taking taking control of the property.

It's unfortunate, but again, that's some we've you know, unfortunately had to deal with uh the neighbors have had to deal with over the last, like I said, three years.

That pretty much concludes my presentation of 806 Os and Dario.

Thank you, sir.

Any questions of the co of the officer?

Excuse me.

Um this is Anminer.

I got so it's owned by the home holdings in Houston.

I believe they're based.

I want to I'm not sure.

It was one of the ones on here, but it's and they never responded.

I got to just during contact.

Um they would respond, but there were they would just that was it.

It was an email or um sometimes a phone call, but it was just uh a response.

There was no action taken.

They would say, hey, we're gonna do this, or they were advised to do something, yeah, and then it would never the action was never taken.

Okay.

Thanks.

This is Fernandez.

Now it notes in the record that there's it's not by a school.

No, not but with the gates before the gates were put up.

This was active for anybody to enter, correct?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, the previous gates were uh, yeah, they were very unsecured.

They put them up with maybe uh a hanger, wrap it around each side of the pole.

Nothing, nothing secured, it was easily you know broken.

So anybody in the community it's walking through there looking for an animal or whatever, even kid could actually get poked by one of those needles that's on the ground just laying about.

So it was not safe in any manner.

Not safe in any manner, no, sir.

Okay, thank you.

Any additional questions?

Officer Penny, thank you very much.

Thank you.

The motion does carry unanimously.

Our next property is going to be 3134 Kalima.

Good morning, board.

Good morning.

For the record, my name is Crystal Town, Dangerous Premise Officer by the City of San Antonio Development Services Department.

The structure being presented today is located at 3134 Kalima Street with a recommendation for demolition in accordance with City Code Article 8, Chapter 6.

This is the first time 3134 Kalima Street is being presented before the board.

Please note on May 6, 2025, a dangerous assessment response team inspection was conducted.

The inspection is a collaborated inspection with a variety of city departments that included the San Antonio Police Department.

The legal description is NCB 7123, block 4, lot 1, located in City Council District 5.

The owner on record is ETAL Ruben S.

Martinez with a mailing address of 3134 Kolima Street, San Antonio, Texas, 78207.

The property owner is not present.

Does the board wish to continue?

Yes, ma'am, please.

San Antonio Police Officer Moreno is here to speak.

The Office of Historic Preservation has confirmed on June 30th, 2025, the property is not eligible for historic designation.

The first inspection regarding 3134 Kulima Street was conducted on May 5th of 2025.

The original notice was mailed on June 3rd of 2025, and the certified receipt was returned unclaimed on June 12th of 2025.

On May 14th, 2025, an afteraction meeting was held at the city attorney's office.

The owner or responsible party did not attend.

On March 20th of 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was posted at 3134 Kuilima Street.

On March 19th, 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was mailed to ETAL Ruben S.

Martinez, and the certified receipt was returned unclaimed on March 27th of 2026.

On May 6th, 2025, and March 2nd of 2026, an administrative warrant was conducted to obtain photographs of the structure.

No scope of work or financial proof or letter of credit or engineers report has been provided.

No permits have been obtained for the property.

A notice to vacate was posted on May 22nd of 2025.

This property is located within 1,000 feet of Rhodes Middle School, Jubilee Lake View University Preparatory, and Rodriguez Montessori Elementary.

This first photo was taken on May 6th of 2025, the day of the DART inspection.

There was multiple individuals found on the property at the time of the inspection.

This is the front elevation of the structure taken on March 2nd of 2026.

The front elevation, the brick siding does have slight stepping, and the roof cover is worn.

This is the siding of the attached carport.

The siding lacks weather protection and does have water damage as well.

This was taken March 2nd of 2026.

The siding of that attached carport is now missing in multiple sections and again still remains with water damage.

This is underneath that carport.

There is temporary shoring to keep the carport standing.

The decking does have severe water damage as well.

And here's a closer view of some large cracks in the brick siding.

So this is going to be a multiple view of the left elevation and the rear elevation of the structure together.

The fascia boards do lack weather protection.

So on May 6th of 2025, this is going into the front front door.

This was occupied by multiple individuals at this time.

Now on March 2nd of 2026, those individuals have removed themselves due to working with SAPD going to the property and letting them know the severity of the situation.

However, now the property is just being utilized for individuals to go in and do drugs and other activities.

Large amount of trash, other items.

So on May 6th of 2025, that this bedroom was being utilized, large amount of items blocking the windows, posing egress hazard for first responders or the occupants.

And drugs were found, drug paraphernalia.

And here's an additional photo of drug paraphernalia found at the property on May 6th of 2025.

Again on May 6, 2025, here's another photo of the drug paraphernalia that was found on the property.

So March 2nd of 2026, this room now just consists of one pulled out sofa.

However, this room is being utilized to still do drugs.

And here are the needles on the floor along with other trash.

And the floor covering is missing, so the slab on grade is exposed.

So again, March 22nd, 2026.

Here is another bedroom.

The on the right portion of the photo underneath that window, the sheetrock does have water damage, and then also there is a second burn pile.

So here's a closer view of a second burn pile.

So here is the hallway bathroom.

There is a gap in between where the bathtub is installed and the wall system.

There is the corner of the bathtub.

Which any building or structure which has any or all of the conditions or defects here and after described shall be deemed to be a dangerous building and a hazard to public health, safety, and welfare, provided that such conditions of defects of dilapidation, substandardness, 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 of 3134 Kulima Street.

This is Fred End.

Go ahead.

Yes, sir, 853 dollars.

Are there any pending at this time for any other abatement?

Not at this time.

So it's still secured.

We re-secured it on May 2nd when I did my reinspection.

The rear door going into the kitchen was unsecure.

Um I had a contractor there to re-secure that door.

So currently it is secure.

However, will it remain secure?

That's the other question.

Thank you.

Yes.

Any additional questions?

This is Sand Minor.

You said it was May 2nd, or did you mean March 2nd?

March 2nd.

Okay.

Yes, on March 2nd, when I did my updated photos, it the rear door was open, and I had a contractor there, and he put a new piece of plywood.

Follow up.

So would that be considered an abatement or no?

No, I had the contractor there to open the structure for me.

Okay.

So since that happened to already be open, it was considered an open institution.

Correct.

And you didn't have to go through the formality of putting in the work order.

Correct.

Okay, thanks.

Any other questions?

There are none.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Officer Marino, if you would please come forward.

And sir, state your name and your station.

Good morning.

I'm Officer Moreno with uh Central.

I currently represent Central Safe.

So I've been at Safe for about since 2019.

And I've been on the department for 15 years.

So 31 34 Kalima.

That one is stemming from a property that got demoed years ago.

So those people had thirty 3229 69 Kolima.

That house got demoed.

All those people moved to this property.

And it's the same issue.

I did the research.

There's a bunch of calls for service.

It ranged from overdose to family disturbances, woefer check, uh, shots fired, um, death.

There's a death report that they've tracked their phone to that property, uh fights, gun involved, assaults in progress.

And that's what led up to the Dart.

So when we did the DART, there's we did detain about roughly eight people there.

Um course, no one knew the owner.

Uh they all claim they just hang out there, just uh is obviously they're just there just to use drugs.

Um course the property was uh littered with uh paraphernalia all over the property.

We did find uh cocaine and heroin.

Um no one had it on their person, so we couldn't put on anything, so we just put it in the property room.

So after that, um I did do patrol buys that check on the property.

Um there's more calls for service after that um disturbances.

There's a they actually got back into the property at 10 325.

Uh officers went out there for a disturbance.

They ended up tasing the individual there on property.

Um more calls for homeless.

There's uh suspicious people, shots fired.

Um every time I go out there, the neighbors are always the the neighbors are um elderly, and they're they don't call police, they call district five, and district five calls me.

And I call them, I talk to them, please call me.

They're just you know elderly, they don't really want to call police.

They rather call district five.

Um their main concern is like they do see a lot of foot traffic at night, um, even though it's secured.

Uh I noticed that the property is secured, but on the back, the board they're they're able to pull it enough to squeeze by.

And I actually contacted an individual inside and like, how did you get in there?

Oh, I just I just pull it enough and I slip through the side.

Um the last time I went in there, um there was burnt, uh, I guess they're burning stuff just to keep warm or just cook anything.

And the neighbors are concerned about that.

Um they're scared that if it catches on fire, it's close enough to burn their property.

And it's a nuisance out there.

Um nine times out of ten people I contact out there just walking around.

I I tell them where do you stay?

Like, oh, I stay at the triangle lot.

That's what is known as it has a weird property, it's a triangle shape, and I already know what that is.

They they stay at that property.

Um time I taught I contacted a female there, I'm like, what are you doing here?

Uh she's like, Oh, I'm just looking for syringes too.

I can uh exchange them out.

So there is still currently people using narcotics there.

They every time I go back there, there's a lot of trash on the backside.

I know those pictures are from March 1st, but recently it there's still trash all over the property.

There's still paraphernalia out there.

Uh there is a church down the street, uh, roads middle school, Jubilee, and uh Rodriguez.

And I've been out there during the mornings or even after school.

Uh there is kids walking around.

Uh I actually contacted the roads campus officer.

He does drive through there too, because he knows about the area.

So it's it's in within uh that thousand feet.

And that's if you have any other questions, you can ask me.

You already addressed the school issue.

Yes.

Um that you keep encountering were from the house prior on the same block.

Yes, so 3269 Kalima was blocked down.

That house got demoed, and it when I found out about this house, half the guys are from that from that other issue.

And they're doing the same thing.

The house got demoed.

Um, they just found another vacant house.

That's and any others didn't wander through, are they like vagrants that are looking for a place a place to do drugs, narcotics?

Yeah, okay.

So they're all they do.

Just a continuous circle of so after this, they'll probably find other property.

Thank you.

Yes.

Officer Marino, thank you very much.

I have no interest in this property as I am elderly with health issues, and I am on a fixed income.

My brothers who live there have since passed, and no one is able to care for the property.

Neighbors have reported and complained about many homeless people and drug users going in and out of the house.

That concludes my presentation of 103 Erskine Place.

Thank you.

Do we have any questions of the code officer?

I got a clarification.

You said that it was within a thousand feet of a school?

Yes, sir.

But on your notes it says no.

So that the problem, we have some issues with the website that detect the uh school that's surrounding the property, but after double checking, uh we found out it is within a thousand feet away.

So we have some technical issues.

So on the on the record needs to be updated to reflect that.

Okay, thank you.

Yes, ma'am.

The owner lives at the main structure.

So they just kind of ignored all the I made contact several times.

Uh the owner is elderly, uh disabled with financial issues.

Um the city actually uh stepped in and helped them out as a part of the senior assistant program.

We did abate the property as far as like trash debris and and overgrown vegetation.

The abatement uh was on January 17, 2025, with a cost of six thousand nine hundred and twelve dollars.

So we try to do our best to provide all the resources, but unfortunately, as you can see, it is accessory structure and it is unoccupied.

So he's fine.

He stated that the struct there is nothing wrong with the structure, and he does not have the financial ability to make any repairs.

Ryan.

Uh this is Ryan Baldwin with a question.

In your notes, uh is claims that the owners says the city caused the collapse of roof.

Do you have any clarification on that?

That's as per uh previous dangerous premises officer.

He made contact with him, and that's what he told him.

He was trying to accuse the city that the city caused this damage to his structure.

When I made contact with him, uh I would say two weeks ago, he said, I don't know what happened, somebody somebody vandalized it.

He don't he don't really have the cause of the the collapsing.

Additional questions.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

The photos that are being provided for today's presentation were taken on March the 2nd of 2026 and March the 30th of 2026.

The first photo is of the front elevation showing a fire damage single story residential structure built in 1955 with a post and beam foundation transite siding and cross-gable roof system.

From this photo, you can see the damaged siding and boarded up broken windows.

The roof and overhang and facial boards are weathered, worn, and lacking weather protection.

The next photo is of the left elevation where you can see more damaged siding, and you can also see the deteriorated overhang.

The following photo is of the right elevation where the fire damage is visible.

The skirting is missing, exposing the foundation to the elements.

Charring is visible on all the major components.

The beam is visibly broken, and the post is no longer bearing the weight of the structure properly.

The following photo is of the rear and left elevation, where you can see the skirting is missing as well.

In some areas, the exposing the foundation and to the elements.

The rear steps are detaching.

The siding is damaged and lacking weather protection, and the overhang and facial boards are worn as well.

My next photo is of my entry into the structure from the front elevation.

And the following photo is of the view of the inside.

Once inside, you can see signs of vagrance is visible.

There was trash and debris scattered throughout the structure.

The next photos of the ceiling in the living room where the sheetrock was damaged and missing, exposing the roof, wood members, and electrical wiring.

And the following photo is a hallway which leads to the rest of the home.

There's a bedroom to the left, and then there's going to be the kitchen to the right and the remaining bedrooms, but the door straight ahead is the restroom, which is my next photo.

Here you can see the tub is missing and the wood decking is exposed.

Water damage can be seen along the bottom of the sheetrock and the flooring.

There was also trash and debris scattered throughout.

My next photo is of the bedroom to the left of the restroom, which was obviously vandalized by vagrants and full of trash and debris.

From there, my following photo is the hallway leading back to the right side of the home.

Once again, damage siding is visible along with scattered trash and debris.

The next photo is of the bedroom to the front right side of the home, which is full of trash and debris as well.

Sheetrock is damaged on the walls and ceiling, exposing the wood members.

The following photo shows a syringe on the floor next to the bed.

You can also see that the protective covering is missing.

The syringe is obvious signs of uh vagrance and illegal activity.

From there, we're going to be going into the uh to the kitchen and the remaining rooms.

The kitchen was was uh damaged and the sheetrock is missing with from both the walls and ceiling.

Fire damage can be seen on the right wall.

Uh when walking through the kitchen, I would I could feel the floor was sloping, so I placed the level on the floor, uh, which is my next photo.

And my following photo is uh shows the bubble on the level all the way to the right, showing how unlevel the floor is.

The next photo is of the fire damage wall on the next room to the kitchen.

Uh this was also full of trash and debris.

Sheetrock was missing from both the wall and ceiling.

Charred wood members are visible, and natural light can be seen entering the structure, exposing the interior to the elements.

The next photo is of the last room in the house, uh, which is a small storage room full of debris.

Uh the wood members on the walls and ceiling are exposed, and natural light can be seen entering the room.

From there we go outside to the accessory structure, which is my next photo.

Uh here you can see the remnants of a detached garage, which consists of a vandalized deteriorated rear wall and weathered and warped post.

We abated this property on Monday, so vagrants normally cover that those posts with tarps and pallets and use it as a shelter.

So that's why it looks like it doesn't really look like a structure at this time.

Uh and my final photo is on of the rear uh wall showing more deteriorated wood members and rusted corrugated metal.

This is a single-story residential structure and accessory structure in neglected condition.

The main structure sustained fire damage and is in serious decline.

The foundation was affected by the fire along with the siding and roof.

Trash and debris are scattered throughout, and vagrants continue to enter.

The remaining wall and post of the accessory structure are weathered, deteriorated, and vagrants continue to use it as a shelter.

To recap, the structure located at 1206 Cancellar Drive are in violation of City Code Article 8, Chapter 6-156.

Subsections for the main are one, two, five, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

Subsections for the accessory are five, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen, in which any building or structure which has any or all of the conditions or defects here and after described shall be deemed to be a dangerous building and a hazard to public health, safety, and welfare, provided that such conditions of defects of dilapidation, substandardness, 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 1206 Cancho Drive.

If you would please give us the subcoach for the accessory, because I think I misunderstood what I was looking at on screen versus what you stated.

Repeat the subsections for the accessory.

Subsections for the accessory.

I do apologize.

Go right ahead, the definitions to show subsections for the accessory should be 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, and 18.

Very good.

Thank you.

Any question to the code officer?

Mrs.

Fred Anderson.

This starts out 11724.

As you're scheduling a reinspection.

Is there any notes prior to that?

Uh no, that was when I first made my initial inspection was on 117.

Initial.

Well, this is re-inspect.

Let me let me see on that.

117-2024.

Your opening thing is re-inspect.

That should be initial inspect or inspect, right?

That is the way our system enters our entry into the uh into the uh the system that we use.

Uh but that was my initial inspection.

Um, if you go down further.

Yeah, I see it throughout, but this one here kind of gives it the impression that's a computer generated uh.

All right.

So it's okay.

Um I don't have the answer for you, but I can't.

Well, yeah, because it kind of gives the impression that you either got the case from somebody else or it's your goal.

No, sir.

Yeah, I was I was the first officer to that kind of tells me it should be inspect your first initial inspection, but it says reinspect.

So I'm just saying that that should be, and it says you said it's a thousand feet from a school.

Is this a high traffic for children?

Yes.

Yes, sir, it is.

And then the next one is a bait.

You said there was an abate.

Is there only one?

No, no, we actually had since I've had this case uh three abatements.

Do we have the cost?

It's I don't have the exact cost, but I can advise the board that it's been three and around the two thousand dollars.

About two.

Yep.

And that wall, all of that has been.

Was there any structure on the uh that's part of the abatement was when they tore the rest of that except that wall down?

No, that's been that way since I first made inspection.

That that but there was uh enclosed with tarps and pallets.

So since we've abated it, it just looks like the wall and the post that are.

So they took the tarps pallet and all the other stuff.

Yes, when we abated it, we we we removed all the debris that was piled up to make uh to enclose it.

And if you run across people there, or is it just appears that they come and go when I have not had I have not run into people there, but there you there's obvious signs that they keep getting in.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you very much.
