Thank you.

Um we have uh Officer gomez, SAPD sign up.

Morning.

Good morning.

Uh please state your name and the city council district or area that you work in in San Antonio.

Yes, ma'am.

My name is Officer Gomez, and I'm assigned to the central substation with the safe unit.

Okay.

So I have uh I started working this property about two years ago uh for a few months and then uh um another officer kind of took over and he was not able to make it.

So I can tell you that uh when I first started this uh when I first started working this property uh neighbors were calling us constantly throughout um and their main concern was the structure of the property.

Um when I first made the location here, it was due to a uh a water leak in which uh neighbors mainly to the right side of it as you're facing it uh were getting flooded.

Um when I got there I did call code um eventually they shut the water off, but it caused a substantial amount of damage.

Uh it looked like to the property and it was going on to the neighboring uh property as well.

I did contact the lady there, offered her some help.

Uh she denied uh any help.

Um and since then, since my first visit, it was just call after call about uh drug dealing um homeless people entering the house, going in and out and all uh all times uh the night, the day and uh so we were constantly there.

Uh I printed out two years worth of calls that we've had at this property, and all of them have uh deal with homeless people going in and out throughout you know throughout the course of uh of uh the the two years.

Um there's been numerous arrests uh there's been numerous arrests with people with drugs.

Um even when they boarded the house up uh people were still going in, they were breaking the boards, going inside the house, so we'd have to go in there and uh you know, tell them they couldn't be on property because of the structure of the house uh being being uh dangerous.

So this was a constant thing uh and up until uh this let me see here.

I believe it's uh May of this year, uh we still had abandoned vehicles on property that did not belong there, uh homeless related calls uh and it was just an ongoing uh issue with uh with neighbors.

So that's that's that's what I have.

Okay, thank you.

Do you think you anyone have any questions for the office here?

This readings um it's not indicated this is by a school that says it's not.

Is this a high traffic carry for kids to go up and down to get to school?

Uh I don't I I don't know that, sir, honestly.

Uh I don't know if there I can't remember if there's a school around there or not.

Um I don't recall, to be honest with you.

Okay.

So do you know?

This is Hassan Razawe can't.

That is not within a thousand feet away from any school.

Well, no.

The question is, is it a traveled area for kids to get to school?

No, sir.

Okay, thanks.

Any other questions?

Okay, thank you, sir.

We do have another question for you.

Yeah.

Uh, al Razi.

On January 20th, 2026.

In the uh description of for record, you put down that there's a deconstruction required for the main and the larger wood accessories.

As I understand this was not declared historical and does not require deconstruction.

So is Can you explain what's going on there?

According to the Office of Historic Preservation, it was not uh uh uh subject of like the historic significance.

So yeah, we go based on the Office of Historic Preservation uh assessment.

Good morning.

This is Kathy Rodriguez Development Services Administrator.

Uh just uh a little clarification.

The deconstruction ordinance is citywide and is not uh only focused on properties that are zoned historic.

This case you're not recommending any deconstruction, is that correct?

Um according to the Office of Historic Preservation, they do not recommend any decon deconstruction.

I did see that um in the notes that it said that this was a vacant uh building notice of vacation no that it um vacant building program.

What happened with that?

I just had a note and then it never said it to go.

To be honest with you, this the uh vacant building program it's handled by uh the vacant building program department as soon as they complete their investigation and they have a process as soon as they complete all that process and investigation and possibly issue citations, then we get the green light to proceed with our DP uh BSB hearing.

Okay, any other questions?

Can I follow up with staff on the uh deconstruct?

Was that not done by the year of the house, correct?

Uh yes, sir.

This is Kathy Rodriguez responding.

Um yes, it is based on the construction date for the uh primary structures.

Um it could be subject to the ordinance, but the staff uh probably did an assessment of the materials available for salvage and determined that uh deconstruction was not warranted.

All right, thanks.

And if I could also add a a final comment regarding the vacant building program, so yes, correct.

This is in the vacant building program area.

It was an active case.

Um the owner is deceased, and through the um uh um enforcement actions of that ordinance, it requires us to have clear ownership to be able to move forward.

So we were not able to attain uh a person.

I believe there may be an interested family member, but they do not have ownership of the structure.

Um so with that the active case was closed.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Um open to a motion.

No, is the only one I have a motion?

Do we have any other people's feet?

No, we do not.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm open for a motion.

Motion.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I'm ready for a motion.

Okay, I'll make a motion.

I move that the property located at 1615 Al Hebran.

And I hope I pronounced that correctly.

Um is a public nuisance per city code chapter six, article eight, section six-one seven, which is not feasible to be repaired at this time, and is in violation of city code chapter six, article eight, section one, uh, section six-15 six, um, for the main one, two, four, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, eighteen for accessory one, one, two, five, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, eighteen, and accessory two, one, two, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, eighteen.

I move that the property be demolished within thirty days from the issuance of this order, and that it be secured free of trash and debris.

Okay, so the motion is that the property located at 1650.

I'm sorry if I'm I'm chopping this up.

Ala Alahambra.

Um the public nuisance for City Code Chapter 6, Article 8, Section 6-157, which is not feasible to be repaired at this time and is in violation of City Code, Chapter 6, Article 8, Section 6-156, for the main structure, uh subsections 1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 12, 15, 17, and 18 for accessory one, uh, second subsections one, two, five, seven, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

And for accessory number two, uh, subsections one, two, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, and eighteen.

And for the property to be demolished within 30 days to be secured and free of trash and debris.

Do I have a second?

This is Joe's list.

All second.

And I just want to confirm that on the slide that's being presented that the first accessory mentioned is accessory one, and the second accessory is number two.

Legal.

Yes.

Uh that is needed for the written order to identify which accessory is which.

Okay.

Uh what we said was it's on the picture, it is not notified.

Okay.

Um, so we have a first, uh, or we have a motion and we have a second.

Um, any discussion.

Friendly amendment.

Okay.

Um also it is in the notes that the staff is ordered for vacate.

It was not mentioned.

So uh the amendment would be to vacate the property as well.

The bulk of his calls are for homeless making entry and starting fires in sight.

The small storage behind the house has been converted into a dwelling and is occupied.

The location is per parallel to the nature park and confluence park and is situated on the high side of the bank on the San Antonio River.

Uh Carlos Guinness says that they have no contact for a CTW, which is a criminal trespass affidavit form, uh, and the residence next door uh look at the residence next door.

The location has moved out of their house because of the home is becoming a nuisance.

Uh other than that, Ollie says he's got uh just 12 calls as of January 1st of last year.

And that's all I have.

Okay.

If there are any questions, thank you.

Is there anyone else trying to speak?

No, there is not.

Okay.

Uh that's our I'm open to a motion.

Can we put up the slide?

Our next case is uh 1830 West Laurel.

Good morning, board.

Good morning.

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

The structures being presented today are located at 1830 West Laurel with a recommendation for demolition in accordance with City Code Article 8, Chapter 6.

This is the first time 1830 West Laurel is being presented before the board.

Please note on September 30th, 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 2094, block 24, lot 5, located in City Council District 1.

The owner on record is Mitchell Frank with a mailing address of 740 Kentucky Avenue, San Antonio, Texas, 78201.

The new property owners, Joaquin Arch and Bradley Ford are here to speak on behalf of the property.

Also, San Antonio Police Officer Willie Scott is here to speak on behalf of the property.

The Office of Historic Preservation has confirmed on November 25th of 2025.

The property is not eligible for historic designation.

The original notice was mailed on October 1st of 2025, and the certified receipt was returned on October 29th, 2025.

On October 8th, 2025, an after-action meeting was held at the city attorney's office.

Code violations and criminal issues were discussed with the deceased property owner's daughter, Ms.

Paige, who agreed to maintain the property while in process of selling it.

On May 27th, 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was posted at 1830 West Laurel.

On May 26th of 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was mailed to Mitchell Frank, and the certified receipt has not been returned.

On May 8th of 2026, an administrative warrant was executed to obtain photographs.

As of this morning, a scope of work and financial proof has been provided from the new property owners.

A notice to vacate was posted on October 22nd of 2025, and thus property is located within 1,000 feet of Little Flower Catholic School.

This is going to be the front elevation of the main structure.

A fire did occur on December 9th of 2025.

So a few months after we did the DART inspection, the fire occurred.

There is smoke damage and fire damage to the wood siding and to the front portion of the roof system.

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

The foundation skirting is missing in some areas.

The wood siding lacks weather protection, and the overhang has smoke damage.

This is going to be photo of the foundation.

The cedar posts of the foundation are rotted.

This is going to be the rear elevation of the main structure.

There is major fire damage to the top portion of the exterior wall and to the overhang.

And this is going to be the right elevation of the structure.

Again, there is charring and smoke and fire damage to the overhang of the roof system and some of the wood siding.

Here shows that repairs to the foundation were started at some point.

There are no permits obtained for the property in our history, and that cement post is leaning.

And here is another photo of the foundation showing those cedar posts are rotted.

This is going into the front door of the structure.

There's a lot of debris on the floor from the fire.

The ceiling has collapsed.

Here's a closer view of that ceiling that has collapsed.

There are still wooden boards that are hanging from the ceiling.

This is going further into the structure and to the potentially the kitchen area.

Again, a large amount of debris due to the fire on the floor.

The floor is soft when walking on it as well.

The walls do have a severe smoke damage and fire damage.

Here's a closer view of the charring of the remaining portion of the ceiling, and there is charring to the decking.

This is going into a bedroom area.

Again, more debris due to the fire and severe smoke damage to the sheetrock.

Here's a closer view of the charring and severe smoke damage to the ceiling.

This is going towards the back of the structure.

There is sunlight coming through the rear exterior wall.

And again, the sheetrock does have smoke damage.

Here's a closer view of that exterior wall.

There is sunlight coming through.

There are large holes in the exterior wall, allowing the elements to enter the structure.

There's also charring to the ceiling joists and rafters and the decking.

This is going to be the accessory structure.

It does have corrugated metal exterior walls with a flat roof system.

The fascia boards do lack weather protection.

The accessory structure does measure less than 300 square feet.

However, they did build it to have electricity going to it, so that still would require a permit.

And this is going to be the right elevation of the structure.

Again, the facial boards do lack weather protection.

And this is going into the accessory structure.

It is being utilized by vagrants.

On the day of this inspection, I did have the human services department out there to offer services.

However, the individuals did not want to speak with her.

So here is a photo showing that electric outlets and light switches have been installed to the structure.

The structures located at 1830 West Laurel are in violation of City Code, Article 8, Chapter 6, 156, subsections one, two, five, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

And for the for the main structure and subsections two, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

For the accessory structure, which and any building or structure which has any or all 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 for both the main structure and the accessory structure.

That concludes my presentation of 1830 West Laurel.

Okay, thank you.

Can we take an executive?

I'd like to ask a question of council before I ask it to staff.

The time is now 10.0 uh oh eight a.m.

on June 11th, 2026, the building standards board will recess from open meeting and convene in executive session to consult with legal counsel to discuss attorney client matters.

Pursuant to section 551.071 of the Texas government code.

The time is now 1047 AM on June 11th 2026 and the building standards board will now reconvene in open session.

No official action was taken in the executive session.

Did anyone have any questions of the code officer?

No.

Okay.

Uh we do have some speakers we have um officer Scott with SAPD.

Please approach the podium and state your name and uh the area that you work in.

Um officer uh Willie Scott uh from Central Safe been on an apartment for 16 years working central safe for about four years now.

Thank you go ahead.

So 1830 uh West Laurel um we've been dealing with this property for probably the last two three years the first thing that kind of caught our attention was uh it was a nuisance with uh houseless that was just hanging out at the location in the main structure and then we also noticed them uh in the the shed structure in the back um there's also a lot of known drug dealers that we observe uh on our daily patrol buys so we knew that there was a lot of drug activity going on at the location um we've also had thirty five calls within the last two year span um related to assaults overdose um fire um we also recovered uh stolen vehicles um just next to the property um like miss town said we did do a dart warrant that was uh back in september of last year and we did locate a lot of drug paraphernalia um inside the property and there was also uh an arrest made during that dart warrant um it is several blocks away from uh school I believe it's called Little Flower just uh a little bit north on Zarzomore um and there is kids that live across the street um that walk through the area to a convenience store nearby but uh the main issues we've we've had even with them um boarding it up after the uh the dark warrant is house this going back on the property and living in the shed and we've made several patrol buys asking to leave every time we go back um they'll leave and then they'll come back uh days later so anyone have questions I was just gonna on this here area you've been there for about three years right um a total about four years but but that this property uh it's been an issue about two and a half three years right and not just a dart.

It's everyday problem.

Every day, yes sir.

On these individuals that you contact, it's not just here, correct?

They're moving from one location to this one and then back to another one when it's hot.

Correct.

And you see them pretty much around that area where kids travel?

Yeah, just hanging out.

Um before before we darted it, they would just hang out on the property, uh, either on the porch or just hang out uh near the near the shed uh in the backyard.

But there I there the people that we observe hanging out were houseless individuals that we communicated with.

We we had we have a good rapport with the the house that's in our area and then some known drug dealers that would hang out on the front porch as well.

The owners did you ever make contact to get a uh trespass?

I never never made contact with the owners at all.

Um I would uh I would have loved to to give them that the CTA criminal trespass affidavit, but we never made contact with any owners.

Our representatives?

Correct.

Other than the squatters.

Yes, sir, other than squatters.

All right, thank you.

Any other questions?

Thank you.

Um I have two people signed up.

Like tickets, owner, uh legal, um neither name is the owner that's on our notes.

Uh can you clarify?

Uh I believe uh they own the company that purchased the house and the uh deed was recorded uh May 13th of this year.

So uh it they are uh representing the company that owns the property.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

So we'll have uh Joaquin Arch.

Um, yes, that's fine.

Um I'll need each of you to uh into the mic, state your name and the city council district, uh that you live in.

Where the your address.

Okay, all right.

My name is Joaquin Arch.

Um I reside at 2203 Burnett Street, which is in District 2.

My name is Bradley Ford.

I reside at 22302 Peonia Park seven eight two six one.

I don't know the district.

Okay.

Okay.

Um first I want to um let Bradley kind of give you some background on his company and what they do and what they've done for over the last 15 years.

Okay.

So um, like really pertaining to like the budget, the budgets that we have is basically the bank statements for last month for both companies that I own.

Um it's uh landscape company and a contracting company, so we're very skilled in developing properties inside and outside.

Uh we also provided a picture of us.

We cut the property yesterday.

We'll you know, keep the property maintained.

We have dump trailers, trucks, skid steers, all the equipment that's needed to develop properties.

We've have developed properties for 15 years inside and outside.

Um there's also pictures showing some of the properties that we have taken care of.

Um we have like basically every all the means to take care of whatever it is, right?

And um we just wanted to just kind of let you know our background.

We've been doing this fifteen years.

We are an award-winning company, you know, we hundreds of reviews, like I mean, I don't know if that matters or not, but just I just want to let you know the experience that we have, you know, here and how professional we are with our businesses and that we can take on this property.

Okay, um, I think we provided um a couple of copies of the package that you guys have in front of you.

Uh my name is Joaquin Arch.

Um I'm partnering with them and consulting on this project.

I have over 18 years of the construction experience.

Not only on the east side, um, all over the country.

I've been to Detroit and dealt with properties like this that would be way worse.

We do a lot of insurance projects.

Um we felt I've been we were originally found out about this property.

A buddy of mine said it was for sale.

So I went to the West.

Um, we know that San Antonio is moving west, so we try to kind of look forward and try to help areas that are slum and blighted, right?

That's the meth method and issue of San Antonio.

And just for the record, my background, I have a master's in community development.

So these kind of things are near and dear to me for the city of San Antonio, and we have extensive um experience with insurance claims and dealing with fire and mitigating.

So originally this property was for sale for about thirty thousand dollars.

It was offered to us for about thirty thousand dollars.

We kinda sat on it, we thought that was a little bit too high for our budget, and then about three weeks ago they came back and they dropped the price to fifteen thousand.

And so we felt that that met the requirements.

We went through title, title never made us aware of any of the issues that were involved with the city.

We we just didn't know.

Um maybe our fault for not going so deep and dealing with the city, but our goal was dealing with the the previous owners that they didn't they didn't shine any light on it, that there hadn't been any issues.

I know this was a drug area.

I mean, I I grew up on the east side of San Antonio, so those things don't frighten me.

Um just like he said they have a good relationship with the people.

Like I've talked to the guys that are probably the known people in the area, and they're people, right?

If you have a conversation with them, even the people that were um squatting there, we've talked to 'em.

We're like, hey, we we just recently bought the property, don't damage the property.

We can't not tell you not to stay here, but we're not telling you to leave either because you know we don't want to upset 'em and them try to damage the property any further.

But um our goal would be to put the no trespass order in place so that the the police officers will have our undivided attention on whatever needs to happen moving forward.

We're here to ask for an extension so that we can address whatever concerns you guys have so that we can move forward with our financing.

It's easier for our financing if it's the structure there versus just a lot, and like we all know nobody else wants any more vacant lots in the neighborhoods.

Um we feel that on if those pictures that the um code found, um a lot of these older buildings have ship lap, which actually helped in this case.

So it protected a lot of those roof rafters.

There's not a lot of damage to the roof rafters, yet it is some damage to the outside.

It's probably eighty percent smoke and then probably twenty percent fire on this project.

Um we feel comfortable with being able to do the foundation.

I know that that budget may seem a little bit low, but we're we're able to do it at cost because we have a surplus of material from other jobs.

It's not a really big house.

Um we we wanna build it up.

We show before and afters, we're not gonna change any of the design to it.

Um and we'll we'll have a permit pulled within the next three weeks.

Um our financing has already been moving forward to be secured.

Um and we we have the means to um make this a house that's well improve the area versus you know, creating a vacant lot.

So that's what we came here to ask whatever that maximum amount of extension time is that you can allow us.

Um that would be um how much time do you need to do the repairs?

Like what's once you get the first permit, how much time you think.

Well, once we secure our finance and finance, usually can take about thirty, forty-five days for us to get it secured and say, hey, we're gonna move forward with it.

Um once we do that, it's probably gonna take us, uh, I'd say two days, yeah.

A hundred and a hundred and twenty days from now and then, because we gotta get the engineers involved.

We don't want to just say, hey, we're gonna move this wall, take this wall, have the engineer tell us how to structurally repair it and then still save those roof rafters because that'll save us some time too.

I think construction time, we're probably talking about uh sixty to ninety days.

Sixty to nine days on the construction, so total six months, um, just using that as a a gauge with the finance and moving forward on construction.

Our plan is really not to demo it unless we have to.

But even demoing it, we we feel comfortable moving forward.

If we should secure the funding with the structure there, it's enough money for us to put some of our own money to get it to the finish line.

Okay.

Uh is there any other questions?

Oh, I don't know.

This is Bradley Ford.

Um, we even if we do go towards demo, like like you said, we have the means, but I just want to elaborate on that, like the staffing, we have sixteen employees, we have two dump trailers, so it's it's really it wouldn't it would be cost efficient for us to do it and not you guys do it and then send us the bill.

We can save, you know, a lot of money on doing it ourselves and doing it the right way, of course, but I just wanted to elaborate on that.

So, to be clear, you want to repair it.

Yes.

And if not demolishing.

Right, right.

Okay.

The engineers gone I'm the I don't think uh engineer has been involved in this process and like I said, the owners never made us aware that this was even an issue because this would have been our first stop once we purchased it.

'Cause if you look at the uh trail because that's one of the questions we asked when we came down here a couple of weeks ago when we knew that this case was coming because we found out about it because it was stuck to the door and one of our guys went out just kind of assessing what they had to do to clean the property up, and they were like, Hey, this notice is here.

And the notice came out a week after we purchased it.

So title didn't catch it.

So really for us it's a title issue, right?

So we have title insurance.

They should have caught this, but if it wasn't ever posted anywhere, they couldn't have caught it.

So it's like a catch twenty two for us.

I mean, we feel slighted a little bit that the owner didn't um didn't make us aware of it, but it's not not much we can do on that right now.

So I can assume that the remediations were paid, correct?

I'm sorry, well uh the like when they went and cut the grass when the city wouldn't cut the grass and clean up the property pre previous to that hasn't been paid.

Most likely not.

Uh prior abatements to uh May thirteenth, uh will uh most likely have not been paid and they have turned into liens.

So uh again that uh the title company uh should have caught those and also uh the notices for uh upcoming BSB hearings are also recorded in the deed records, so bring that up with your title company.

No definitely and it wasn't our title company of our selection, though the seller was like, Hey, they had a particular title company they wanted to go to, but any documentation that could be provided to us, 'cause we can send that to title and be like, hey, these are not on us, like really that's a yeah, we have a issue to bring up with the title company.

I see you wanna go for it, go ahead.

Yeah.

As a contract.

I see you got some of the stuff we require.

And you already mentioned that that is a low low very low estimate.

But you didn't provide us with a scope of work.

And did I say?

The scope is the rehab budget.

Well, that is important.

And a timeline you didn't provide us wouldn't exact because in here the hands are tied for us a specific milestones.

Exit dates, which you don't have that paperwork yet.

You just got this in May.

Yes, correct?

A couple of weeks ago.

Right.

Now have you talked to the police officers that patrol that area?

No.

I have not.

So you weren't even aware of a daughter operation on that house?

No, sir.

Alright.

Now that's the main.

Are you intending to do this the uh uh accessory too?

Are you putting that into this budget or is that a write-off?

No, the accessory would be done at a at a later date.

I mean, once we secure funding, the accessory will be included in that funding.

Well, the reason I ask that is 'cause both parts are are up for demo.

Gotcha.

So we plan on keeping the accessory delin it it it adds value to the property.

Um we're we're investors.

And again, if that engineers is different then, yeah, for sure.

We we're we have the that'll give you more recommendation.

That gives you more money for the main.

For sure.

All right.

So your intent is to fix it up.

Rehab it pretty much.

Mm-hmm.

And add value to that community.

Yes, sir.

And you you're looking at what the max about a hundred and twenty days or you think you need more?

A hundred and twenty days would be adequate for us to get the engineers involved get the permits pulled get our yeah because you're not gonna pull in permanents until this is resolved so right right yeah so yeah no okay and we right now we're we're at the point where we're trying to follow all the steps and whatever you say hey from here to the one twenty this is what we want to see that's what we're gonna provide like when we leave here today it's gonna have the um no trespass order put on there so you will have a no trespass put on it today yeah and we'll whatever notations that we don't we're not required a phone call that they have permission to arrest anyone that they've they've cited that shouldn't be on the property and if demo is ordered you've already got that covered yes if demo is ordered that's all covered as well we um if demo is ordered well we wouldn't want a demo order no we want to what I'm saying is because if it's ordered you already have that so you you got it covered if it's repair or if oh yes sir yes sir but like for our finances say they want to see a structure.

We all want to see a structure is way but it's way easier for us to get finance security when they send someone out and say oh it is a structure here they don't decide whether it's too far past repair or not they just want to see a structure that can be repaired.

No one to make uh the board aware uh I believe the ask was for a hundred and eighty days total so uh with the hundred and eighty days uh would come the requirement for uh regular uh progress reports however uh the the structure is uh required to be registered under our vacant building program until such time as uh it becomes occupied so uh Kathy's team with the uh vacant building program will once they're registered they also conduct routine uh inspections of the property so uh not only will vacant building be assessing it the progress uh code will as well uh second uh issue uh crystal or the uh officers uh do y'all have do you have the uh dark trespass affidavit on you no uh officers do y'all have one I do have a question what would um what precinct or what precinct office you got on uh uh I'm sorry all this conversation have to happen on the main okay um no my question was which precinct office because I know we can physically go in and just do it right there uh central substance.

Oh downtown.

Yes.

Uh right there by uh where municipal court is down the road uh where it turns into free o after the highway uh you can get with the officer after we're done here with the hearing and work all that out yeah what there is a uh madam chairman I have a I have a question for legal uh okay go ahead Savita d in your opinion does this meet the requirements for a repair order in a hundred and eighty days it would meet uh all the requirements and then it's up to the board's discretion if the board wants to have a uh bond provided uh a performance bond that that's at the discretion of the board.

Thank you.

This is for legal.

Even though they'll be put into the uh vacant building program, that still will not uh uh obstruct their work on the property, correct?

Uh I can to that uh Cathy development services administrator.

Um registration with the vacant building program, we encourage them to do work.

It would not impede their ability to pull any permits and uh they turn in a plan of action with the registration packet, so we follow along with their timeline and we monitor their progress through that plan of action.

Okay now this will go to council.

If we give them a hundred and eighty days example, and they're having trouble with any type of financial or even permits, they're now locked into that clock of 180 days, correct?

Yes, it would uh per the board's order repairs would need to be completed within the 180 days, but uh also the uh code enforcement the DP investigator town uh would have the discretion to uh provide additional time if substantial compliance has been met.

Because it may not be so if a reset was ordered, they could still comply with the other documentation as far as the no trespassing and they can other than permits because they still have to do the other paperwork still that goes with everything else, correct?

That's still that doesn't stop that correct.

Can they pull permits?

Can they pull permits if it's a reset?

Yeah, because usually you they're shut down when they come here.

So can that be opened?

Uh the the city is able to remove the holds on the permit.

Okay.

Oh, I remembered my third item.

Uh y'all will need to update ownership information on the uh Bear County appraisal district uh website.

Uh, because the transfer of date is it's not showing and it still has the previous owner listed.

Is that as clear as mud?

I'll permit it.

Yeah, kinda, yeah.

We would just ask for no bond required.

Well, yeah, well, there's a lot, that's why I said there's a lot of other things that go with the stipulation, so we're trying to not just educate you but kind of help you out as well, so you don't get into the bigger and nothing did get done, then it's no incumbents, um the code is to bring it up to code, okay, and that's all we would like to see most properties done.

So with that, um everything on that list, uh looks good as far as your your piece.

The only thing is you got your finance, the days, and we can probably work around a lot of that stuff.

So um it's nice to see people trying to go in there and rehab and and give it.

So we appreciate that very much.

Thank you, guys.

Thank you.

Is there any other questions?

Just remember you didn't talk about securing the properties.

This property secured now.

Yes, it's secured.

There were some boards that had been removed, but we went and re secured it last week.

We uh provided pictures of right after we secured it and like I said, we cut the grass all that rain um since we purchased it, it was just rain back to back to back, have longscape landscape company and law care, so keeping the VR maintained is not gonna be an issue for us at all.

Super okay, thank you.

Okay, that's all of our speakers.

Um I am open to a motion.

Madam Chair, this friends would like to make a motion.

Go ahead.

Can we have the there we go?

Um, chair, move it to properly located at Madam Chair, yeah.

One quick uh piece of information I just wanted to share with Melissa and Judy.

Um to discuss your next steps.

Oh, I know the mic.

Um, our next case is 410 Elks Drive.

Good morning, board.

Good morning.

For the record, my name is Crystal Town, dangerous premise officer for the City of San Antonio's Development Services Department.

The structure being presented today is located at 410 Elks Drive with a recommendation for demolition in accordance with City Code Article 8, Chapter 6.

This is the first time 410 Elks Drive is being presented before the board.

Please note on May 19th, 2026, a dangerous assessment response team inspection was conducted.

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

The legal description is NCB 8970, Block 12, lot north, 106.1 feet of 12 located in City Council District 5.

The owner on record is Flores Emilio Z and WF with a mailing address of 410 Elks Drive, San Antonio, Texas, 78211.

The property owner is not present.

Does the board wish to continue?

Yes.

San Antonio Police Officer Brandon Gehan is here to speak.

The Office of Historic Preservation has confirmed on December 9th of 2025.

The property is not eligible for historic designation.

The first inspection regarding 410 Elks Drive was conducted on July 2nd of 2025.

The original notice was mailed on July 3rd of 2025, and their certified receipt was not returned.

On August 18th of 2025, a conference meeting was scheduled, but no one attended.

On May 27th, 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was posted at 410 Elks Drive.

On May 26, 2026, the notice for the BSB hearing was mailed to Emilio Z.

Flores and Zeneda R.

Flores, and the certified receipt has not been returned.

On May 19th of 2026, an administrative warrant was executed to obtain photographs.

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 at the property on September 10th of 2025.

And this property is located within 1,000 feet of Liao Middle School.

Okay.

This is the front elevation of the structure.

There is a work order in place to have the city clean the property and secure it.

So we are currently working on that.

The uh the structural members for the porch are leaning on the left side.

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

The wood siding is missing in multiple areas, exposing the wooden structural members, and the remaining siding does lack weather protection.

Here's a closer view of that siding missing, exposing those wooden structural members.

This is the rare elevation of the structure.

There is graffiti.

Um multiple areas of the siding are missing and lacks weather protection.

And again, the large amount of trash is in the process of being removed by the city.

Here's a closer view of siding missing.

The metal that you see is actually the bathtub on the other side of the wall.

And this is going to be the front left side of the structure due to the close proximity to the fence.

I'm not able to get any further.

So this is going into the left portion of the structure.

There are two doorways to get in.

However, with all the amount of trash and debris throughout the structure, you cannot access the doorways.

So here is a doorway that is blocked by items and trash, which poses not only a hazard to the occupants, but the first responders that do not know the condition of the property.

This is going into the back kitchen area that's now been made into a bedroom.

There is a large amount of trash and debris.

And there is a large hole underneath the kitchen sink.

This is going into another bedroom.

The floor covering is completely missing, exposing that subfloor that is now rotted due to the traffic.

And another door that is now leaning.

The only thing that is holding that door up is the amount of items in trash.

That would also lead you to the right portion of the structure that is not accessible.

And just here's a different view from that rear doorway showing the extent of the trash and other items blocking the doorway, the condition of the subfloor, and there is sheetrock that is detached from the ceiling as well.

This is the only bathroom in the structure, which there it is not accessible and there is no water on the property to utilize the bathroom.

And the sheetrock is missing in this in the bathroom.

The decking is exposed and it does have water damage.

So now this is going to go into the right exterior door on the front.

The sheetrock does have water damage, and again the large amount of items blocking the walkways, which pose a hazard for not only first responders but the occupants as well.

Here's a closer view of that water damage to the sheetrock, and in one section, the sheetrock has already detached and they put up plastic.

So this is where the water heater was.

Now they utilize that as a port a potty section.

So on the day of the dart, a uh drugs were found in this vehicle, and so the uh police officers did remove the vehicle that day.

The structure located at 410 Elks Drive is in violation of City Code Article 8, Chapter 6, 156, subsections one, two, eight, eleven, twelve, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen, and of which any building or structure which has any or all of the condition 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, substitutingness or unfitness for human habitation pose a threat or potential threat to life health property or human safety.

Staff recommends demolition and for the property to be vacated.

That concludes my presentation of 410 Elks Drive.

Are there any questions for the code offer?

I have one question.

I noticed in the first picture.

Are there any kids at this end?

No, there are no children on property.

Thank you.

Is there anyone in property?

There are individuals staying at the property.

They have been offered services by before it became a DART on the original inspection.

The DP officer had at the time it was called DHS, Department of Human Services out.

They were offered services multiple times, and also on the day of the Dart, we had our services out there and offered, and all were declined.

Okay.

Any other questions for the officer?

Okay, thank you.

Uh we do have you, yes.

Good morning, board.

My name is Brandon Guinn.

I work for the city of San Antonio as a San Antonio police officer, and I do work out of the South Substation.

Um I originally got this district.

Uh I transferred from my old district to this district, probably about the beginning of 2025.

Uh as working this location, I was always approached by officers that work daylight and B shift.

That uh showed me the location as far as got my attention.

Uh asking, requesting for help.

Because the they every time they went to this location, there would be at least 10 to 13 people inside the house.

No water, no electricity.

The times that I have been out there, is that is truth and correct.

There always has been about 10 or 13 people inside the houses, inside the house, and always offered uh services, but always refused.

Um, again, no water.

I'd go out there and they'd be people out, you know, as far as taking a bath, washing their stuff.

Uh no water, they were tapping into the the water system.

Um we did dart it in May of uh 19th.

Two people were arrested.

Uh one of them was arrested in his vehicle.

Um he was parked in front of the house, and he did have possession of, I believe it was uh methamphetamine.

Um we didn't we couldn't identify him, he was lying about his his name.

Another person that was inside uh the house uh came out.

Uh he had marijuana in his pocket.

He was also arrested.

Um, but yeah, this is uh it's an ongoing issue.

Uh officers, you know, again approach me about it, and they're just seeking help.

Um any given day when you go out there, the debris is out there.

We're not knowing where we're thinking they're getting it from the church that's literally across the block, our Lady of Angels Church.

Uh we're thinking they're getting a lot of their stuff from there and just taking it to the location.

Uh there is uh Stonewall Elementary just three blocks from the location as well.

So there is uh because I do park out there and I post for other houses, and when I post that several blocks down, I always see individuals and I'll follow that individual, and they always end up at 410 elks.

So it did get my attention too.

Um, so that's all I have.

Any questions?

My usual one.

It says here, it's by a school.

Um, is this a traffic area for the children to go from the home to the school and back, or is this an off the beat?

No, it it is a traffic area because Huron is a main street, which is only 15 feet away from the house, 20 feet.

Uh so Huron is one of the main corridors, I guess crossroads uh to the church to the school.

Um, yeah, and I meant I know you mentioned as far as the toys in the front of the house.

Whenever I've gone out there, uh I never go inside uh, but uh I because I I go alone and I'm not gonna go in with 10 to 13 people inside the house.

Uh so I do encounter people and they've always said there's no kids.

It's always older people uh anywhere from 25 on up.

So it is a high traffic area via bus passes uses uh Huron Street as well.

Thank you.

Any other questions for the officer?

No.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There's no one else to speak, so I will I'm open to an uh a motion.

I'll make a motion.

Go ahead.

Jarman with the mailing address of 102 Baxter Avenue, San Antonio, Texas 78220 1011.

The following individual is present on behalf of the case, Angela Jarman.

The owner on record is not present today.

Does the board wish to continue?

Yes.

No phone numbers were found for, nor have I spoken with the owner.

I have spoken with the daughter of the deceased owner, Angela Jarman.

The Office of Historic Preservation has confirmed on August 21st, 2024 that the property is not eligible for historic designation.

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

The first inspection regarding 601 South Hackberry was conducted on February 12th, 2024.

Original notice was mailed on February 13, 2024.

The notice of violation was delivered on February 17, 2024.

On July 28, 2025, the first notice for the original BSB hearing was posted at 601 South Hackberry.

On October 30th, 2025, the notice for a reset BSB hearing was posted at 601 South Hackberry.

On May 27, 2026, the notice for this, the third BSB hearing was posted at 601 South Hackbury.

On July 28th, the notice for the initial BSB hearing was mailed to the owner at the and the certified receipt has not been returned.

On October 30th, 2025, the notice for a reset BSB hearing was mailed to the owner, and the certified receipt has not been returned.

On May 27, 2026, the notice for this third BSB hearing was mailed to the owner, and the certified receipt has not been returned.

No scope of work or engineers' report had been provided, but I believe the speaker today has brought some documentation with her.

As of June 9, 2026, a re-roof and a building repair permit were issued four months ago in February of 2026 and will expire in August 2026 for 601 South Hackberry.

The photos that are being presented today were taken on May 11th, 2026, with an additional photo from October 30th, 2025.

There we go.

Is of the front elevation showing a single story structure in a residential zone.

It was built in 1913 with a pier and beam foundation.

The structure has wood siding, cross-gable metal roof system, and is 1,368 square feet.

This structure is located within a thousand feet of Douglas Elementary and Douglas Academy.

The structure is currently vacant and has had no water since March 27, 2024.

A fire occurred at this location on February 7th, 2024.

The exterior of the structure has smoke damage, missing wood siding, and lacks weather protection.

The support posts on the front porch are listing to the left.

This photo is of the right elevation.

The wood siding is missing, again lacks weather protection, and you can see the posts supporting the roof over the rear porch are listing to the left.

I'm sorry, to the right.

This is the right and rear elevation of the structure.

The trim is rotted and the porch posts are deteriorated where they connect to the bottom.

The siding lacks weather protection.

The siding is also missing under the air conditioner, exposing the wall studs to the elements.

The faceship boards at the top corner are rotted, the windows are broken, and the foundation skirting is buckled.

This is a rear portion of the left elevation due to the amount of vegetation.

I had to take several photos of this elevation for different angles.

The siding here lacks weather protection, and you can see the sagging roof decking above the small window.

From this angle, you can see the sagging roof decking better at the edge, and damage to the siding at the rear of the front porch.

This is the front of the left elevation where you can see that flooring on the front porch is rotted.

You can see it right through the opening there.

So post uh support post is listing to the left, and the trim is missing.

The flooring on the front porch is weather damaged, deteriorated and unstable as you walk across it.

The risk of falling through is significant.

The wood is rotted and deteriorated from exposure to the elements, and that handrail is very loose.

This photo is from October 30th, 2025.

The conditions remain the same.

I just didn't feel comfortable getting up on the porch at this point.

The flooring is missing, the boards are rotted and deteriorated.

The floor joists are exposed to the elements and water damage.

If you can see that sill beam there to the front elevation, it is deteriorated on top.

This is a close-up of the fascia and the soffit where they are water damaged at the rear elevation and separating from the roofing system.

As you go in the back porch, there's an entranceway through the rear door.

This photo is looking into the structure from that rear entrance where the fire occurred.

The fire damage is apparent on the walls and the ceiling.

The boards on the walls are charred and missing on the left side.

The electrical box on the kitchen wall to the left of that door is fire damaged as well.

Looking up on the right side of the kitchen, you can see the extent to which the fire damage to the ceiling, the ceiling joists and the rafters.

The ceiling boards are burned away and the joists are charred.

The roof decking on the inside is smoke damaged.

This is where there was previously a hole that went through to the grade.

The hole has been patched up with a piece of plywood.

The grate is still visible where the wall and the floor meet there on the right side of that photo, allowing rodents and pests to enter the structure.

If you turn around from that point and look backwards towards the rear elevation, where we came in, you can see the additional fire damage to the wall boards and the studs.

The wall covering is mostly collapsed.

Charred pieces still remain.

Looking through that door at the rear of the kitchen, this leads to a bedroom and a bathroom.

The door and the trim are charred, leading into what appears to be a laundry room right before the bedroom.

This is in that room.

After you walk through the door on the opposite side, the ceiling and walls are smoke damaged.

The drywall is collapsed.

Natural light is visible about two feet under that air conditioner.

It's coming through the outside walls.

If you walked straight forward through that kitchen, there's another room, and if you turn around and look, this is the adjoining wall where that most of that fire occurred.

This is the left corner.

The wall boards here are charred.

Wall covering is damaged, and the ceiling has significant smoke damage.

This is looking up in the center of that room connected to the kitchen.

Every room in this structure is in the same condition.

The covering has is fallen from the roof.

The boards are water damaged and separating.

They're rotted in places.

If you turn around and look up towards the kitchen again, you can see natural light coming through the ceiling boards.

This is the ceiling in the room between the front and rear rooms on the right elevation.

Again, they suffered smoke and water damage to the drywall, both on the ceiling and on the walls.

You can see the drywall is cracked and sagging with the interior wall studs being exposed.

This structure suffered a fire over two years ago and has not been repaired.

In November 2025, she appeared again before this board and was ordered to repair the structure within 30 days.

In February, she did pull those permits.

At that time, we granted additional time.

However, nothing more than the repair to the floor where that hole was patched has been done.

To recap, the structure located at 601 South Hackberry is in violation of City Code Article 8, Chapter 6-156, subsections 2, 8, 1, 11, 12, 15, 17, and 18, in which any building or structure which has had 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 repair.

That concludes my presentation of 601 South Hackberry.

Are there any questions for the code officer?

I have a question on the repair subsections.

Okay.

It's just that you said it, but it's it isn't marked off.

So not said I should not have read that.

Okay.

Yeah, it is they did secure it enough so that the vagrants were not getting inside anymore.

So just for the record, the subsections are one, two, five, eight, eleven, twelve, and fifteen.

Correct.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Yes.

Did you say that building permits have been issued?

The building permit for a re-roof and building repair were issued in February.

Thank you.

But they're getting ready to expire in August.

Correct.

Okay.

And in the previous session in November, no number five was noted, but in this one, five is noted.

Yeah, I just that is it's there now because that front porch is deteriorating even more so uh than when we originally presented the case.

This red ends.

You said this has been it was reset, but they were repairing it.

You said the repairs weren't done.

They were not.

So if it was already ordered to be repaired and the repairs aren't done, why are you ordering a repair?

Because we have an owner who has the funds and the ability to do it.

Um the structure is repairable.

Um she's she just hasn't moved forward.

That's why I'm asking if the repairs have already been ordered, and they haven't been done except for a hole in a floor.

I guess it it's my hope that maybe uh the board would um uh uh find uh a way to convince Ms.

Jarman that she needed to get this done so that the structure is not demolished.

Um that is the last thing that we want.

Um thought that that's what the first repair order was that we want it done, and the only repair that was done was a floor, and the rest has not been repaired, and we're ordering again for the fourth time in front of this board to order it again to be repaired.

It's not the fourth time though, it was reset once.

Well, we ordered the repair on the second one, and this is and now it's coming back from that.

Okay, the second one we ordered a repair, so it's already been ordered a repair.

Okay, hold on.

Yes, uh, it was ordered repaired in November 2025.

Uh repairs were now made, however, uh remember when the DP investigators are presenting before you they go based on uh whether the structure is still able to be repaired, but the board itself decides whether to allow uh additional time for repair or uh demolition.

So that's uh uh completely up to the board's discretion.

Any other questions?

No, thank you.

Um how about our representative up, please?

Hello, my name is Angela Jarman.

And your address, please.

102 Baxter Avenue, I believe it's district four.

Thank you.

Okay.

Um under contract as of yesterday with the contractor uh to do the repairs to he's gonna replace the um ceilings and the joy in the ceilings in the kitchen.

Um I already paid him half of the the fees.

He starts on Monday.

I think they gave you a copy of what needs to be done.

Uh the reason that the repairs weren't done, I had a contractor uh go out there when they were doing the inspection for the permits.

He lives in Hawaii halftime and he lives here.

He was supposed to come back in April to help me do the repairs, and he never returned.

And he won't be back until August, so I end up having to get somebody else.

So that's been the problem me getting somebody to actually do the work.

Not that I don't want to do it.

I'm ready to do it.

And like I said, I secured um a contract with a contractor yesterday.

So on this paper, um it says uh twelve fifty down, or it looks like twelve fifty.

Yeah, that was half of it down.

Okay, why is there a date?

There's no date and then dash twenty-fix.

Right.

I don't know why he put that.

I don't know why.

I don't even I didn't even notice that.

I don't know why you put that.

Okay.

Any other questions?

Uh Madam Chair, uh the notes say you intend to use this property uh for your business?

Possibly.

If I don't live there, yes.

What business is that?

I'm a massage therapist.

Thank you.

Did you get a timeline?

I didn't get a specific timeline as to to how long.

Because you're with the documentation, we're supposed to uh you you were supposed to bring in a timeline as well with finances, scope of work, and a timeline.

And he didn't give you a timeline when it would be done.

He starts Monday, did he?

Oh, as far as that, yes, he said just a couple of days for that for that portion, and then he's gonna start in the hallway after this project.

Did he pull permits for that?

Um you have a roof and a foundation, correct?

Yes.

Okay.

So you still need interior permits.

Um, I have two permits.

One is for residential and interior walls and replacing the floor and the kitchen, the cabinets, and the windows, and then I have one for the roof.

Okay.

I thought she said foundation and roof.

That's why I was saying you need to so you have internal or or main uh what'd you go?

Um miscellaneous.

And then you have your roof.

Yeah.

And when's electrical gonna be done?

Uh we have somebody coming out next weekend to uh look at the electrical.

So that's still up in here.

Electrical and plumbing?

Yes.

Or still.

Yes.

Wait, okay.

Yeah.

So you really don't have a timeline, so the reason why I didn't repair the porch is because there's plumbing under there.

And I didn't want to cover it up.

And they I had it repaired before the fire.

It was brand new and they took all the tubing and everything out.

So that's why that hole is still there.

And the hole was made there when they did the repair to begin with, too.

Uh I had everything redone, all of the the uh plumbing redone.

And that's why that hole was there and they didn't repair it after they did the the repair.

So it stayed like that, and then after the fire they started taking things off the house, still and stuff, so they stole all the tubing and everything.

So I wanted to leave it open until I get that fixed the plumbing.

So not to put you on a spot, but to put you on the spot.

When are you looking to have it done?

I want to have it done by August by the time this uh the permits are expiring.

About 90 days, right?

About sixty days or so, all right.

Okay, thanks.

Madam Chair, I have a motion.

Okay.

I move with the property located at 601 South Haxbury.

Staff recommends demolition.

That concludes my presentation for 437 Aaron Street.

Did the property owner get figured out?

Because I think on the notes here, it says that it was foreclosed on.

Correct.

So who's the property owner?

According to Bear County Appraisal District, Bedronka.

Let me say it state it correctly.

Madam Chair.

That did not happen.

However, Judy has two uh emails, one from the lien holder, and one from the attorney representing the owner of record at this time.

And uh the uh information from the lien holder will uh answer uh the question you have.

Okay, uh madam chair, yes.

Um, so there's no record that there has been a foreclosure on this property.

And what was the nature of the email from the lender?

Oh, those will be uh read into the record, but short version.

Uh the lien holder is uh in the process now of foreclosing, and uh they provided their position uh as to the property in the email.

And uh, I won't speak uh as to the email.

Uh Judy, if you could please uh read that into the record, the lien holder indicate uh their intent for the property.

Thank you.

Yes, the first public comment we received is from Gene Roses regarding 437 Aaron Street, received Wednesday, June 10th, 2026.

Dear Building Standards Board, at this time a request to reset this matter for 30 days is submitted in order to determine the most economical way to proceed with the subject property.

Currently, there is a lien on the property payable to loan ranger capital.

However, the payoff is unknown and the status of any draws of the loan proceeds is unknown.

The significance of the loan status being that if the property is surrendered to loan ranger capital, then loan ranger would be the proper party to determine the future prospects of the subject property.

Bedronka LLC does not wish to incur any liability.

Should the property be condemned by the city and Bedronka not having adequate financing to rectify the matter.

Before the expiration of 30 days from today, beyond Beyondronka and loan ranger should have the property prospects properly detailed, please present these issues to the board and feel free to contact his office to discuss regards the law office of Gene R.

Rossas.

Okay.

Is there any questions for the code officer?

No.

Okay.

Sorry, Chair, we do have one additional public commentary.

Okay, yeah, I just wanted to make sure that the code officer was done.

So you yeah, you can see let's go ahead and read the other.

Public uh public comment email.

Yes, we have from Zach Lofton sent Wednesday, June 10th, 2026 at 9 39 a.m.

And he stated, thank you for taking the time to speak with me today.

I'm writing regarding case number 29000843 for the property located at 437, Erin Place, San Antonio, Texas, 78221.

We are the lender currently in the process of foreclosing on this property.

At this time, we do not intend to contest the proposed demolition order and are in agreement with the motion.

However, we will need to complete the foreclosure process and obtain the required demolition permit accordingly, and we respectfully request a 90-day extension to comply with the order.

Additionally, as a small private lender, and given that we are significantly upside down on this asset, we kindly ask for consideration regarding any fees and fines associated with the property.

If possible, please email the results of the hearing at your convenience.

I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time and consideration from LACLOFT and CFA founder and CEO with the loan ranger cap um capital.com.

So the attorney is asking for a 30-day uh reset.

The CEO is asking for a 90-day reset.

Is that that's correct?

Uh no, the uh the uh attorney representing the owner of record is asking for a 30-day reset uh to determine uh the status of the loan if it was ever funded, the lean holder is uh agreeing to the recommendation of demolition, but is asking for 90 days to complete it.

So the lien holder is at what's the name of that company?

Can you put that letter back up, please?

All right, where'd it go?

Well, loan ranger, I'm sorry.

Yeah, that is that's the other company that uh or the uh the first one, Beckman or it's on that first letter, and it's not Beckman, it's something else.

I'm not even gonna chop try to pronounce that chop that name up.

But the LLC there, it that's that's the original owner or the so this lawyers is for this company, and the other letter is for the loan company now, long star, whatever it is.

So they're not even in communications with each other.

Uh actually, I think the email from the attorney uh copied the uh lien holder.

And that's how the lien holder uh was able to respond and provide their position.

Okay, so we don't we don't know if they got back and he says, Well, you ought 90 because he said 30 here.

The other guy's saying 90.

The other guy represents long ranger.

This lawyer is representing the LLC, correct?

Correct.

Uh the LLC uh with the main member of the LLC has walked away from the property and uh no longer has the funding nor the desire to repair.

Okay, and then you know that they have 30 days to appeal, and then they're still after that, like it takes a while to get the demolition, it doesn't happen right away.

So if we were to order a demo, um today they would still have time to perform the demolition themselves by getting a permit and hiring people to do it.

Correct?

Correct.

Okay, and it doesn't sound like the long ranger is clear on their liability in the letter.

That's why he was asking for the 90 days, correct?

You know, uh I interpreted uh their email as uh their acknowledgement of their uh liability or responsibility.

They're asking for the 90 days for uh the foreclosure process and obtain uh uh gain back title to the property so they're the record owner and then can obtain the permit for demolition.

That's a little more muddier, but that's all right.

But then our or the order stays with the property regardless of who the owner is, regardless of a foreclosure process.

Correct.

Okay.

Is there any other questions?

Okay, I'm open for a motion.

Uh madam chair.

Go ahead.

I move that the property located at 437 Aaron Street be reset.

Okay.

The motion is that the property located at 437 Aaron Street be reset.

Is there a second?

Last call is there a second.

I'll second.

Okay.

Okay.

Is there uh any discussion?

This is Joel's.

So Lisa, I was gonna move to not support the motion.

I think that we should go ahead and act on this.

We know everything we need to do.

We know what the owner's intents or the future owners' intents in order to demo.

I suggest that we move forward with demolition.

Okay, I will uh take I can't kick any emotion motions, but that was the discussion.

Um the suggestion.

Uh we'll we'll go ahead and do a roll call vote.
