Good morning, staff.

Board members.

Good morning.

My name is Jenny Damides, uh, interim coded enforcement administrator.

I do have a couple of items to read into the record.

Um, specifically one item we will be pulling this morning.

Um I'll start with the emergency demolition.

Um structure located at 120 Talisman Road in Council District 3 was demolished as an emergency on May 20th of 2026 due to an extensive fire which occurred on May the 14th of 2026.

Pursuant to chapter 6-175.

No further action is needed by the board at this time.

This is a main structure, and I apologize and correct me.

Um, correcting.

This is a tree that caused the damage on this property.

Next item, we will be pulling uh agenda item number six.

Address is 1219 Mason located in Council District 2.

Um, we have it um as uh to be determined on when we may reschedule that one.

We had some coordinating um efforts with the attorneys, and uh that owner has brought forward um scope of work and we'll be working to do some uh immediate repairs on that structure.

So we're gonna be working with him to do that.

So, in light of some things that were a little bit miscommunication, we'd rather um step back a minute and work with the owner on that just to make sure we're all clear and again not bring it forward until it is a last resort.

Okay.

That does complete my report unless there's any questions.

Are there any questions?

Thank you.

All right, with that.

We will move into the individual cases.

Thank you.

Do we have any questions of the code officer?

This is Fred and Utilities.

None at this point, sir.

They've been disconnected.

Any signs of vagrancy?

Yes, with all the trash and debris.

We're figuring that some vagrants are staying in the property.

At the time of inspection, there was none located at the time.

How far is this away from school traffic?

It's not within a thousand feet of any school.

No, to traffic.

The sidewalk is maybe 30 feet from the actual structure.

If that's what you're asking, the children use that street as a main thoroughway to school or no?

I believe so, yes, sir.

So it would be a main traffic to the school via the I'm not too familiar with the area at this point, uh, so I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure that it is or isn't.

All right, thank you.

Any additional questions?

Thank you.

You may be seated.

Our next structure is going to be 1911 Burnett Street.

Good morning, board.

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 1911 Burnett Street with a recommendation of repair for the main structure and demolition for the accessory in accordance with City Code Article 8, Chapter 6.

This case is the first time being heard before this board.

The legal description is NCB 1330 block 10 lot 10, located in City Council District 2.

The owner on record is Williams, Reginald Eugene, and Ramidez Maria Isabel with a mailing address of 822 Gabriel Street, San Antonio, Texas, 78202.

All notices of hearing were properly issued as required.

The following individuals are present on behalf of the case.

Eugene Reginald Williams and RK Maburbani Bubani.

Does the board wish to continue?

Yes, please.

A phone number was found for the owner, and I have spoken with him.

The Office of Historic Preservation has confirmed on May 6th, 2026 that the property is not eligible for historic designation.

The following is a timeline of events regarding the notification process.

The first inspection regarding 1911 Burnett Street was conducted on June 18, 2025.

The original notice was mailed on June 24th, 2025, and the certified receipt was claimed on June 27, 2025.

On September 11, 2025, a conference meeting was held with the owner, Reginald Eugene Williams.

On May 21st, 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was posted at 1911 Burnett Street.

On May 21st, 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 engineers report has been provided to the code officer.

As of June 3rd, 2026, there are no permits on file for 1911 Burnett Street.

On May 4th, an administrative warrant was obtained for the photos that are being provided for today's presentation.

This first photo is of the front elevation as it faces the street, showing a single story vacant structure in a residential zone built in 1959 and is 1,292 square feet.

The structure has wood and OSB siding, a gable roof with roof sheathing and no other cover, and a pier and beam foundation.

This structure is located within a thousand feet of Washington Elementary School.

From the front elevation, you can see the entire structure is sinking toward the grade on the left side.

As stated previously, there are no shingles or roof covering of any type, only the underlayment.

The center of the peak is bowed in the middle.

The guardrail on the right side of the porch is deflected.

The concrete slab on the porch of the porch is also sinking into grade on the left side.

This is the right elevation.

The covered porch here has a dilapidated pergola on the right side.

The patio connected to this side has a bowed support beam on the front right side.

The rafters on the right side are rotted.

The decking on this patio is very spongy.

It sinks in when you walk across it.

The boards on the bottom right side are also rotted and detaching.

If you would please excuse me, we are going to move into an executive session for just a moment.

The time is now 9 34 on 4 June.

The building standards board will recess in the open meeting and convene in an executive session to consult with the council to discuss attorney clock matters pursuant to Section 551071 of the Texas Government Code.

The time is now 9 40 on 4 June 2026.

No official action was taken in the executive session.

Code officer, if you would please proceed with your testimony.

Apologize for that interruption.

Dangerous Premise Officer Cynthia Santana for the City of San Antonio Development Services Department.

This is the rear elevation.

You can see the wall on the left side of the rear section where it meets the corner there.

Is listing to the left.

The roof line is sagging in the corner where the front and the rear sections meet.

There's no fascia.

The siding is made of OSB on that rear elevation and has no weather protection.

The rafters of the overhang are also weathered.

Here's the left elevation, the rear section of it.

It's a little difficult to get a full scope photo due to the proximity of the property fence on the left side there.

But this is the rear section of the left elevation.

The roof decking and the rafters are water damaged.

The siding here is separating from the water, pulling away from the structural members.

The sill beams and the floor joists are exposed to the weather elements.

The sill beam is bowed and unleveled supported by wood blocks in several locations, not even touching the posts.

In this photo, you can see how the siding is separated from the window frame to the right of the porch there.

That damage above the window is covered by a piece of gypsum board.

The porch post on the right there is significantly bowed, and the siding is damaged around the window, and the window frame on the left window is also separating at the top.

This is a close-up of the sheathing on the roof.

It's weathered and pulling away from the decking.

This is a close-up photo of the foundation.

This is just to the left of that front porch.

The sill beam is shimmed with wood blocks and not sitting on the center of the post.

Pardon me, I was about to sneeze.

This is a close-up of the front left corner of the structure at the foundation.

Again, the sill beam has a block under it.

It's slid off to the left, not even on the post.

This is the right elevation of the structure where the rear section is sitting on grade.

This photo shows a closer view of that right elevation from the rear, that pergola that's collapsed, the roof sagging in the corner, and you kind of get a better view of that wall right there where the two sections meet, is separated from the top plate, is just leaning out.

As you walk in the front entrance and look up and to the left, you can see that a ceiling joist is broken and hanging there from the top.

The joist where the electrical box is connected, has been bridged with another board.

Natural light is present at the top of the peak, and there's no wall covering, and the insulation is exposed.

This is the missing subfloor in that same room.

If you look down directly underneath where that natural light was coming through, electrical work has been done.

That's also been without any permits.

New electrical wiring has been run to the panel and throughout the structure.

This is looking back at the front door, showing the openings exposed, allowing rodents, small animals, and both children or vagrants to enter the structure.

This is the exterior door at the rear elevation.

The doors do not seal, they're unlevel and allowing insects and rodents to enter.

This is the wall at that right elevation where that top section was leaning out and disconnected from the top plate.

The structure does not appear on BCAD.

It is unlevel, it uses a deck concrete pier block on the far right corner.

The roof overhang is damaged on the left of the peak, and the fascia lacks weather protection.

There is only underlayment on the roof of this structure as well.

This is the front of the right elevation showing the weathering and the water damage to the OSB that's used as a wall covering.

The boards are bowed and pulling away from the structure of pulling away from the wall studs due to the exposure to the elements.

This is the rear right elevation.

The two by sixes at the bottom being used as a sill beam are cracked and deflected.

The siding lacks weather protection, and the window there at the back with no glazing or frame has been partially boarded up.

The elements are still entering the structure.

The decking is warped at the roof line.

This is uh a photo of the rear elevation of the accessory structure.

The rafter tails are water damaged and weathered.

The decking is also warped here.

This is the left elevation, as much of a photo as I could get uh due to that fence.

Uh it also lacks weather protection.

This is a view of the foundation of that structure.

Uh the sill beam is damaged, the floor joists are deflected, and that subfloor is sagging in between each of the floor joists.

Looking up from the uh front elevation before you go into the end uh front entrance.

The overhang is missing on the left side, and there's a hole in the wall near the roof line.

This is inside the right section of the accessory.

There is no roof, there's no floor, the ceiling joists and wall studs are weathered from exposure to the elements.

This is a close-up of the foundation at the front of the accessory.

Just to the right of the front entrance steps, the post is leaning to the left.

Looking in the front entrance of the accessory, the subfloor is exposed and damaged.

This is the threshold, actually.

Uh walking in.

You can see the wood is very rotted and deteriorated.

As you look into the accessory structure, this photo is uh the back wall at the rear elevation of the accessory.

There is mold and collapsed drywall from the water damage, natural light is visible through this area.

You can also see that piece of plywood on the ceiling was used to repair the hole in the ceiling.

However, the roof is still leaking, and that plywood is also water damaged.

The main structure is in a dilapidated condition with the exterior wall on the right elevation separating from the top plate.

The foundation repairs with no engineering have resulted in an unlevel and listing structure, which has begun to sink into the grade on the left side.

The roof has an underlayment with no covering for so long that the underlayment is now deteriorated and the decking has become water damaged.

The lack of flooring and wall covering on the exterior of the left elevation leaves the structure open to entrance by vagrants or children given the proximity to Washington Elementary.

The accessory structure has had no repairs.

The structural elements are eroded and deflected, especially at the foundation on the left elevation.

The roof is leaking, causing mold and collapsing the drywall from the ceiling.

To recap, the structure located at 1911 Burnett Street is in violation of City Code Article 8, Chapter 6-156.

Subsections one, two, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen for the main, and subsections one, two, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen for the accessory in which any building or structure which has had any or all of the conditions or defects herein 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 repair for the main and demolition for the accessory.

That concludes my presentation of 1911 Burnett Street.

Thank you.

Do we have any questions of the code officer?

Morning, this is Robert Binke.

Are there currently the active utilities on the property?

There is not.

The water was disconnected in January of this year.

Um and uh there's no electricity.

Thank you.

Additional questions?

There are none.

Thank you.

You may be seated.

Reginald Williams.

If you would please jump forward and state your name and your council district, sir.

Hello, I'd run.

Uh counsel district.

I don't know my name is Reginald Williams.

Um I'm all familiar with this process.

Uh that excuse me.

Go ahead and proceed if you would please use testimony.

The court enforcement officer is correct that the property does need some repairs.

However, I was um I bought this property as a rental own property, and I was doing my best to maintain the property up to standards, but it's the everything just like doubled.

The mortgage doubled, uh the the rent doubled.

So me being on the disabled and getting a check, it was it was hard for me.

I had friends helping me and I did not pull permits to do the things that was done, but I did try to get it up to code.

That's and uh the property is boarded up now at the times, boarded up for uh people can't get in there or whatever.

Um, and the house is under um it's it's for sale.

Somebody's buying the house right now, but the city is holding the numbers so they can't pull the title in order for them to purchase the house.

What is your desire as far as what do you want to do about the property?

I I would like to get it like um uh like a extension uh let the people buy the house and let them fix it up because they can afford it.

I can't.

So you're you you prefer your preferences to sell the property then uh in essence.

Yes, it's already sold, but the city's uh put a lien on a property, okay.

And they need those numbers for the title company to get the title.

Okay, understand that then so that's the only thing that's holding me up.

Okay.

Any additional questions, Mr.

Williams?

This is Robert Binke.

Um, do we by chance have a copy of that contract today?

Uh for the sale of the home just so we can.

This is the lien owner, Mr.

R.

K.

Okay.

We'll bring him up in just a moment.

Okay.

No worries, thank you.

I'm just curious.

Thank you.

Yes, but we do.

Any additional questions?

Sir, you may be seated.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And rem Romasha, I'm gonna do this in harm, so apologize for that.

Um I believe I gave uh I'm sorry, my name is Ramesh Mahobani.

Um I believe I gave copies of the contract um to your colleagues in front.

Um we do have a buyer and we have a backup uh buyer.

Uh I I uh submitted.

Yes, um, I submitted the purchase order or contract um from my kelia investments uh who are interested in buying the property.

Uh I also submitted an email from the title company.

Uh they're ready to close, they're just waiting for um the actual numbers from the city uh finance office uh so that they can get the lien paid off.

Okay.

The city is the lien holder, is that correct?

I'm the lien holder.

The city has a um a lien on the property, I guess for something that happened that they had to go clean up the property.

Um I believe it's around five thousand dollars.

It's five thousand dollars.

Yeah, for the for the city leave.

We we're just waiting for the physical numbers of the city so the title company can go ahead and cut the check to the city and uh get the lien released and get the property sold.

Okay.

Any questions?

That's all.

Thank you very much.

You may be seated.

Have we seen everything we need to see?

It's Mr.

Mahobani.

If you would please come back to the podium again, yes, ma'am.

Uh there were uh two sets of documents that you provided uh conversations between you and your lawyer, uh I'm not gonna waive uh the privilege between you and your lawyers.

So this is not gonna be shared with the board.

Oh, I'm I'm fine with that, and I wanted to give uh this back to you.

Did that cause any questions for the board?

Robert Binke.

Um I'd just like to clarify, make sure I understand everything correctly here.

So it seems like they have a contract in escrow ready to go.

Um we're waiting for the city to turn over their lien number and then they can close on the property.

Did I understand all that correctly, Miss Savita?

Is that correct?

Correct.

Perfect, thank you.

And that's your understanding also.

Yes, sir.

And that's the board's understanding.

We all agree then on that.

Okay, thank you very much.

With that, the chair would entertain a motion on the property located at 1911 Burnett Street.

And as a reminder, the recommendation from the uh code officer was repair on the main and the demolition on the accessory.

Paul Hernandez here.

Go Paul.

I'd like to make a motion that the property located at 1911 Burnett Street is the public nuisance for city code chapter six, article eight, section six, one-five-seven, which is feasible for repair, um and is in violation of city code chapter six, article eight, section six, one five six, subsections one, two, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

And for the accessory, um, let's go back.

So just for the main, I said repair.

I move that that property be demol be uh repaired within 30 days from the issuance of this order, and it's free of trash and debris.

I also like to make a motion that the accessory located at the property 1911 Burnett Street.

Is it public nuisance for city code chapter six, article eight, section six, one five, seven, which is not feasible to be repaired at this time?

And is in violation of city code chapter six, article eight, section six, one five, six, subsections one, two, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

I move that the accessory be demolished within 30 days of this order, and is also free of trash and debris.

Motion is the property located at High Team Burning Street.

It is a public nuisance as per city code uh chapter six, article eight, section six-157, and the main structure is feasible of being repaired, uh, and the repair order is for 30 days with trash and debris.

Uh and we're gonna do this in two separate motions if that's okay with you.

Okay.

Subcodes 128, 11, 12, 15, 17, and 18.

Uh, and again that the property be repaired in 30 days with free of trash and debris.

Do I have a second on that motion?

I have a quick question.

Um, for we second it.

Can I ask a question or uh, was that a second or a question to ask a second?

I'm gonna second it only to move it to the discussion phase of it.

Okay, the motion has been made and seconded.

Uh and now discussion.

So with a 30-day repair order on that property.

Um I guess I didn't see on that contract when the closing date might have been, pending obviously the city releasing that lien information.

I would just be curious of how quick they're closing and if that's even feasible within that 30 days based on their closing date.

Uh are you making a friendly amendment or proposal, or are you just asking the question?

Okay.

Uh all I saw uh on the contract was that uh closing has been delayed.

Uh the lien holder can confirm that, but uh it has been delayed waiting on the city to provide the payoff number for the liens.

It uh 30 day repair order.

Probably uh should not be triggered until uh the closing in all fairness to the property owner because of uh any delay on the city's part, and in addition to that, the repairs that are required could not be accomplished in 30 days.

Uh so I would recommend, as a front amendment, that we uh order the repair work uh to be a period of time after the closing date.

Uh and the my guess would be that you'd need 90 days minimum to do the repairs.

Uh, the problem with that is anything over 30 requires specific documentations, which they're not gonna have yet because they haven't bought the property yet.

I would probably, if you do that, relinquish it to staff's discretion and let staff deal with it when they get the paperwork done, then staff can automatically because if we try to invoke that up here, it requires a lot of documents, anything over 30 days, or we timeline it to 30 days, and then the new buyer gets penalized for the 30 days that it cannot be completed.

But I do not want to also force a uh staff officer or code officer to live with a 30-day repair knowing that 30 days cannot be done.

No, that's why I said let their discretion because they can monitor if it's 30 days, it has to come back as a failed 30 days.

If the staff can monitor knowing that they're in trouble, like we've done before, then the staff can determine to a grant additional time, or we just reset it and then let the new owners come in and pick it up from there because we're tying somebody to 30 days who hadn't even got the property yet.

Could we go 90 days upon sale of the property?

Again, it goes to paperwork.

They don't have the paperwork to present the 90 days, so they can't get 90 days.

It's all based off the paperwork after 30 days.

It appears that's only a parent state because we've not had a motion.

I mean, have not had a vote.

Right on the motion.

Uh that the general consensus is we're gonna repair the main.

Right.

Uh, and with that, then I would ask staff uh if we want to encumber the staff with a 30-day issue, or do we want to encumber the staff with more than that, knowing fully well the staff at least will have the ability to go beyond the 30 days and or 60 days if they need to?

Is that right, Jenny?

And the staff would be better to do that than we would.

Then with that, then with your objections, then 30 days would be acceptable, knowing that the staff would make the adjustments accordingly.

That's what I'm saying.

It's easier for them to make that adjustment at a staff level than to have it come back here with a penalty on the person who couldn't be able to complete it.

So let uh I guess Paul would be best for you to go ahead and restate your motion then with the conversation from the discussion, and then we will uh decide uh to vote on that.

So if you would restate your motion.

Well, wouldn't this one have to be voted on counsel?

Or I guess we would.

This would be because it's already been seconded, this would have to be.

Actually, then let me restate the motion then as it is.

The motion was that the property located at 1911 Burnett Street uh is a public nuisance for City Code Chapter 6, Article 8, Section 6-157, and it is feasible, the main is feasible being repaired at this time, but it remains in violation of city codes one to city codes chapter 6, Article 8, Section 6-156, subcodes 128, 11, 12, 15, 17, and 18 that the main is to be repaired in 30 days and free of trash and debris.

Uh and then we made them uh a friendly amendment as uh after closing, and you accepted that I think is correct.

So it'd be third days after closing uh for repair.

We're clear on the motion.

It wasn't seconded on the uh amendment yet.

Thank you.

It was not Paul agreed.

I second it.

Your second after closing.

Uh any other discussion.

Roll call on the motion, please.

Is staff confused?

Hold the vote.

Okay, Judy, go ahead and roll call, please.

Do we need to hold the vote, counsel or no?

No.

So we have to go.

Yes.

Proceed with the motion.

Okay, proceed with roll call then.

If you would go ahead, Officer Santana.

Um the my last visit uh for the photos that I presented to you the that area on the left elevation was not secure.

I don't know.

Uh Mr.

The owner stated that he secured it, but I don't have any evidence of that.

I would request that the property be secured.

Okay.

The request is that the property be secured, but we need to close this motion first.

Uh and we will do that.

I guess with voice all in favor of the motion say aye.

Aye.

Those opposed say nay.

Nay.

Nay, Paul.

It's a tie, therefore the motion is set aside.

Uh chairman entertain a motion on the property located at 19.

Uh, new motion on the 1911 Burnett Street.

Uh this is Robert Binkey.

I move that the property located at 1911 Burnett Street is a public nuisance per city code, chapter six, article eight, section six-one five-seven, which is feasible to be repaired at this time and is in violation of city code chapter six, article eight, section six-156, subcodes one, two, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

I move that the property be secured, and the thirty-day ticker for repairs will start post closing of the property.

It's up to you.

Continuing that motion, we're going towards the accessory structure.

Uh I move that the accessory structure be demolished within 30 days, uh, free and clear of trash and debris.

The motion uh do I have a second on the motion?

Ms.

Chair, this right hand is a second.

Thank you.

The motion is the property located at 1911 Burnett Street.

Uh is a public nuisance for City Code Chapter 6, Article 8, Section 6-157.

And the main is feasible being repaired at this time, but remains in violation of city code chapter 6, Article 8, Section 6-156, subcodes 128, 11, 12, 15, 17, and 18.

That the main is to be repaired in 30 days post-closing.

Uh and I do not secured.

Did you include trash and debris in your motion?

Yes, he did.

He did okay, free of trash and debris.

Uh, and that the accessory structure uh is uh in violation of city code chapter six-157, excuse me, chapter six, article eight, section six-one five-seven, and it is not feasible being repaired at this time, and that it is to be demolished, uh, excuse me, it is in violation of or remains in violation of city code chapter six, article eight, section six-156, subcodes one two, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen, and it is to be demolished in thirty days and secured, and we have a second.

Roll call or clarification or discussion, would be a better approach.

Any discussion?

There is none.

Let's do a roll call on that motion.

Chair, can you confirm the order for the accessory?

Did it include securing or just a 30-day demolition?

Uh the motion on the main was to repair to secure and to be clear of trash and debris, and the motion on the accessory structure was uh demolished in 30 days and secure and free of trash and debris.

Thank you.

Mr.

Joanne Nelson.

I Paul Hernandez.

Aye.

Robert Benke.

Fred Andes.

Motion passes with a vote of four to zero.

Staff recommends demolition.

That can concludes my presentation of 620 Essex Street.

For clarification, the subcodes are going to be in total one, two, five, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, and fifteen.

Correct.

Very good.

Any other questions of code officer?

I got a timeline question.

2022 to 2023.

It doesn't seem to be any movement on this case.

In 2023, OHP looks like they were handing it over to VPP for an assessment, which apparently didn't happen.

It goes to DSD.

And then OHP doesn't clear this.

And then on 4145, you received the case or your notes on that date on 320 20 25.

320 25.

And then it says released OHP released on 1 30 2024.

But they didn't clear this case until 513 2024.

According to the record.

So you got the case, or it was cleared according to this record, and then they cleared it on 513.

All this time, there's nothing in here about why VP VBP didn't take the case.

Not that I'm aware of.

I do know that the owner did want it to fix it up at one point, but then her medical conditions um kind of worsened and she decided that she can't go forward with it.

So when I took the case, I um sent out another OHP request, and that's when I put it was released.

Yeah, there's a discrepancy of when it was released according to you and the record.

Do they not just to put them in that program?

And and this one didn't go to that program, there's no real clarification why.

This is uh Kathy Rodriguez Development Services Administrator.

Uh the experience that I have uh at time at OHP and dealing with cases like this.

Um I'm just speaking in general terms that the um the delay may have been that it was being assessed for so there's two types of reviews that are happening uh in OHP.

One is evaluating its eligibility for designation according to the UDC criteria, the other is uh looking at it through the lens of the vacant building program.

In those processes, typically the assessment of significance happens first, and sometimes that includes um efforts to contact an owner or an interested party to see what their desire is for the property if they they would like to explore designation as a way to um get some tax benefit relief if they decide to renovate.

Once that uh process is completed, the vacant building team will look at the case to determine if we want to hold it further to uh follow through with enforcement efforts.

That can be a six-month period based on the current timeline.

There are instances where the vacant building team can understand that the condition of the structure is severe and deteriorated.

Um we'll also look at the notes to see if designation has already been considered and if that's already been um determined that designation will not happen, and we understand there's no owner.

We look at the case notes.

There may not be a owner who we know we can affect change if we were to follow through with enforcement actions, so the vacant building team may shorten their review of it and determine to let it move through the the BSB process based on those scenarios, the ownership scenario and the determination of um eligibility for designation.

So on the BP B B, is there a stricter guidelines for them or is it kind of like if it nobody wants to take care of it, it has to be boarded up?

So the objective of the vacant building program is to affect change to improve conditions on that site.

There are cases as you're familiar with where there's the owner's deceased, there's no interested party.

Um there's really no one for us to go after, so to speak.

So there's no one for us to file court cases upon to be able to uh apply pressure and encourage them to make improvements.

And so if that's the case, then we will generally let it move forward through the BSB process because there's there's no outcome.

There's not going to be a a better outcome by holding it for those six months and following through if there's not a owner or an interested party for us to engage with.

Alright, thank you.

And this is near school.

It's within a thousand feet.

And all this time this thing's been going on, and has this like kind of been a priority that we go look at this weekly?

How close is this to traffic from children at a school crossing or whatever?

It's located towards the middle of the the street on Essex Road, and uh every time I've been there I haven't seen any children, but I do know that the school's close by, so they have to be walking by there along with the um the neighbors that you know walk their their animals right there.

Um but the owner did have the property secured and is making sure that nobody goes in.

I mean, uh she even has a maintenance guy that lives nearby, and every time I show up, he shows up.

So obviously they're keeping a close eye to make sure that you know there's nobody trespassing, no vagrants, nothing like that.

So they're maintaining yard as well?

Correct, yes.

So they're actively participating in.

They are.

And the only reason she's not doing anything because she's sick.

Yes.

She uh she's really ill and she can't afford to um put the time in it with her illness.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Any additional questions?

There are none.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.
