Jul 07, 2025 Building Advisory &amp; Appeals Board

UH, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE MINUTES AS IS I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND.

HAVE A SECOND.

ON THE AGENDA IS A HEARING CONCERNING ALLEGED DANGEROUS STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1 32 AND 1 34 NORTHEAST NINTH STREET HERE IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

ALL OPPOSED? UH, MOTION CARRIED BY VOTE OF SIX ZERO.

NEXT ITEM

[2. Hearing concerning alleged Dangerous Structure(s) located at 132 and 134 NE 9th Street, Grand Prairie, Texas ]

STAFF 1 32 AND 1 34 NORTHEAST NINTH.

THIS IS, WE DIDN'T PRESENT THIS AS A CASE LAST WEEK, LAST WEEK, LAST MONTH.

WE, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND, UH, THERE WERE NO ACTION TAKEN ON IT.

WE REVIEWED IT, SO WE'RE BRINGING IT TO THAT TONIGHT.

UH, THIS IS A DUPLEX RIGHT THERE, JUST NORTH OF BELT LINE.

KIND OF RUNS OFF THAT CUTOFF WHERE THEY BUILT EXTENDED BELT LINE, PUT THE, PUT THE BRIDGE OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS.

PROBABLY THE BEST THING THEY EVER DID IN GRAND PRAIRIE, BY THE WAY.

UH, THAT'S THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.

THE, THE 1 34 PART IS THE, THE FACING, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.

AND 1 32 IS MORE ON THE BACK.

THAT'S 1 34 ON THE LEFT.

AND THAT'S 1 32.

THE ENTRANCE WAY IS KIND OF RIGHT THERE.

WE SAW THIS LAST, LAST TRIP.

THIS IS THE KITCHEN THAT THE KITCHEN SHARED.

THERE'S NO WATER.

THAT'S A, A 1 34 LIVING ROOM ON THE RIGHT AND 1 32 BACK OF THE LIVING ROOM.

THAT SEPARATE LIVING ROOM IN THE BACK, THAT BACK, THAT DOOR LEADS OUT TO THE BACK.

THIS IS THE, UH, FRONT BEDROOM.

UM, 1 34, I BELIEVE.

IS THAT CORRECT? ONE 30.

THIS IS WHAT WE TALKED QUITE A BIT ABOUT LAST, UH, LAST TIME.

'CAUSE IT'S, WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A BEDROOM.

AND IT TURNS OUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ADDED ONTO THE HOUSE.

AND I, I RETITLED IT BACK IN CLOSED PATIO BECAUSE I TALKED TO THE, THE ONE OF THE SONS TODAY.

UH, THEY HAVE A PLAN TO, UH, THEY HAVE A ROOFING CONTRACTOR.

THEY'VE GOT A PERMIT.

THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THAT PART DOWN BECAUSE IT'S, IT WAS JUST, IT WAS ADDED ONTO THE BACK OF THE HOUSE ON A CON.

AND THERE'S A CONCRETE SLAB THERE.

SO HE WANTS TO, I'LL SHOW YOU A COUPLE PICTURES HERE.

THAT WAS FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, LOOKING OUT TOWARDS THAT.

IT WAS OPEN.

THEN HE SINCE CLOSED THAT OFF.

THIS IS ANOTHER ROOM IN THE, IN THE FRONT PART OF THE HOUSE.

THIS IS A TRASH AND JUNK THAT WAS IN THE BACKYARD.

MOST OF THAT'S BEEN, WELL, THE TRUCK IS STILL THERE, BUT A LOT, A LOT OF THAT TRASH HAS BEEN PICKED UP.

'CAUSE IT HAD PROMISED TO DO THAT, THAT THAT SIDE YARD'S CLEAR.

NOW, BOTH, BOTH OF THEM.

SO THIS IS, I TOOK THIS TODAY.

THIS IS FROM THE OUTSIDE THE BACKYARD PART WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT, WHERE THERE WAS, WAS NO ROOF WITH THE BLUE TARP.

THAT'S THE BACK WALL OF THE HOUSE.

ON THE INSIDE.

HE'S SEALED AND SECURED THAT, SO IT'S NOT OPEN INTO THE HOUSE NOW.

AND THAT'S THE PART HE INTENDS TO TAKE DOWN WALLS

[00:05:01]

AND EVERYTHING.

AND THERE'S A STEP IN CONCRETE SLAB RIGHT THERE.

SO HE WANTS THAT TO BE HIS PATIO, BUT HE AIN'T DONE YET.

'CAUSE THEY, HE DOES HAVE A ROOFING PERMIT FOR BOTH SIDES.

NOW, THIS WAS, TODAY.

THAT'S SOME OF THAT AREA.

THAT'S, THAT WAS A MESS THAT'S CLEANED UP.

NOT BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS, BUT IT WAS A LOT BETTER THAN THE OTHER, THAN IT WAS.

AND THIS IS THAT OTHER BACK PART.

THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY IS GRANTED THEM PERMISSION TO, UH, ACCESS THE YARD OUT THAT, OUT, THAT BACK GATE.

SO HE'S, HE'S GOT, UH, THEY APPLY FOR A REHAB PERMIT.

UH, THERE'S STILL INFORMATION NEEDED ON THAT BEFORE THEY CAN APPROVE IT, BUT THE ROOFING PERMITS ARE, ARE, OKAY.

NOTICE OF THE HEARING WAS GIVEN TO THE OWNER AND OTHER PARTIES WITH AN INTEREST IN THE PARTY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1 32 NORTHEAST NINTH AND 1 34 NORTHEAST, NINTH GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS.

THAT'S THE PROPERTY STRUCTURE OF THE SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE IN THAT, AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN GRAND PRAIRIE CODE ORDINANCE IS 29 18, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, AND 12.

AND THE STRUCTURE IS DANGEROUS, UH, STRUCTURED AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN GRAND PRAIRIE CODE ORDINANCE SECTION 29 28, UH, ONE THROUGH 17 LOOKS LIKE 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, AND YEP.

16 AND 17.

SO WE RECOMMEND THAT THE ENSURE THE STRUCTURE IS REPAIRED, REMOVED, OR DEMOLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDER.

THE OWNER SHALL KEEP THE STRUCTURE SECURE FROM ENTRY UNTIL THE STRUCTURE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

ANY PERSON HAVING AN INTEREST IN THE STRUCTURE MAY REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE AS SUCH PERSON'S OWN RISK TO PREVENT THE ACQUIRING OF A LIEN AGAINST THE LAND UPON WHICH THE STRUCTURE STANDS.

SHOULD THE OWNER FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER, THE CITY IS AUTHORIZED AT ITS DISCRETION TO REPAIR AND MOVE OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE AND ANY ACCESSORY REQUIRED TO BE DEMOLISHED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE, OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, ASSESS A CIVIL PENALTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,000 PER DAY FOR EACH DAY THAT THE STRUCTURE CONTINUES TO BE IN VIOLATION.

ANY EXPENSES OWED TO THE CITY BY THE OWNER WILL BE BILLED TO THE OWNER.

SUCH COSTS, PENALTIES, OR EXPENSES SHALL ACCRUE INTEREST AT A RATE OF 10% PER ANNUM.

THE CITY SHALL HAVE ALL REMEDIES PROVIDED BY LAW TO RECOVER MONEY, OWE THE CITY, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO PLACE A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY, UNLESS IT IS A HOMESTEAD, UH, PROTECTED BY THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION.

ANY SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF THE PROPERTY IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER.

I SHOULD MENTION THAT IT'S, IT IS OCCUPIED BY THE, BY THE, UH, OWNER'S MOTHER AND HER, ONE OF ONE OF HER SONS, AND THE TRANSIENT SQUATTER.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? I HAVE A QUESTION.

UM, I KNOW THE LAST TIME WE MET, WE GOT THE NAME, UH, OF THE TRANSIENT PERSON.

HAS THERE BEEN ANY COMMUNICATION THEY POSTED NOTICES ON THAT, ON THAT, UH, ON THE DOOR IN THE WINDOW TO OKAY.

ATTEMPT TO EVICT THEM.

SUPPOSEDLY THE ONE OF THE SONS WAS GONNA BE HERE TO YOU, WHAT I'VE TOLD YOU, SO, OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ALLEN.

SIR, IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

UH, MY NAME IS FELIPE ESPINOZA.

UH, MY SISTER OWNS THE HOME AND I'M REPRESENTING HER.

MY ADDRESS IS, UH, 1 1 2 4 1 CREE ROAD IN DALLAS, TEXAS.

UH, AT, I DON'T KNOW HOW HE CAN MAKE A PROFIT OFF OF THAT, BUT HE, UH, YOU KNOW, HE'S DOING US A FAVOR AND HE, UH, ALWAYS GOTTA DO IS CONTRACT AMOUNT, PAY HIM, AND, UH, AND HE'S READY TO GO.

YOU GOT SOME PERMIT, YOU SAID? UH, WELL, THE, UH, I OWN A MARTIAL ARTS GYM, A BOXING GYM.

AND ONE OF MY STUDENTS IS A ROOFER, UHHUH .

AND HE'S OFFERED TO, UH, ACTUALLY THEY'RE DOING, DOING US A GREAT FAVOR.

HE'S GOING TO REROOF IT.

UH, HE, UH, HE LOOKED AT THE, HE LOOKED AT THE PROPERTY AND, UH, HE HE WENT ON, ON TOP OF THERE, AND HE SAID, AND HE SAID THAT BASICALLY IT NEEDS TO, THE, THE PLYWOOD, ALL OF IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

AND THE PEOPLE WHO, UH, THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO, WHO HELPING MY BROTHER, UH, THEY DID A BAD JOB.

UH, THEY WERE JUST PUTTING SHINGLES UPON SHINGLES, AND OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THAT THAT'S SUBSTANDARD.

SO HE'S ACTUALLY DOING ME A FAVOR.

HE'S DOING IT AT A,

[00:10:01]

SO, UH, AS FAR AS THE, UH, YOU KNOW, SURVIVAL, YOU, FIRST THING YOU NEED IS A ROOF.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE, UH, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE, UH, CONTRACTING, UH, MY FRIEND, MY STUDENT TO, UH, TO DO THAT.

SO HE'S OFFERED TO, TO DO THAT.

AND, UH, JUST A MATTER OF TIME TILL WE GET EVERYTHING SQUARED AWAY AND GETTING HIM PAID, AND HE'LL GET HIS CREW THERE AND BUILD THE, UH, THE ROOF ON THE, UH, STRUCTURES.

SOMETHING, OR HELP TO, HOW, HOW CAN WE GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF THERE, YOU KNOW? I MEAN, HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, IF, IF I HAD MY WAY, I WOULD, I WOULD, YOU KNOW, PHYSICALLY DO THAT.

DO YOU, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THAT'S GONNA TAKE? UH, I WOULD SAY PROBABLY WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS.

I MEAN, WE ALL KNOW HOW THE ROOFERS WORK, MAN.

THEY'RE FAST, RIGHT? ARE FAST.

SO I'M, I'M, I'M PRETTY, PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT WITHIN NEXT 30 DAYS, I DIDN'T WANNA SAY IT'S TWO WEEKS, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST, IT'S NOT FAIR FOR HIM OR MY SISTER.

SHE'S THE ONE PAYING FOR IT.

BUT I WOULD SAY WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS, THERE'S GONNA BE A ROOF ON THE, ON THE BUILDING, AND IT'S GOING.

AND AS, UH, MR. ALLEN, HE, UH, HE SAID THAT THAT PORTION, UH, UM, IRES MARTINEZ, THE ROOFER, HE SAID THAT, OH, THAT THIS IS, THIS IS AN ADDITION.

SO THAT, AND I, I KIND OF KNEW THAT, YOU KNOW, FROM, 'CAUSE WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WHEN I WAS A CHILD, THAT THAT'S KIND OF LIKE, IT'S KINDA LIKE A SUNROOM.

AND I NEVER PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER, BUT HE'S THE ONE WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THAT, THAT PORTION.

SO MY, MY PLAN IS TO WHERE THE, WHERE THOSE, UH, BEAMS ARE, IT IS JUST, IT IS JUST TO CUT 'EM OFF OVER THERE.

AND ANDREA WAS GONNA GO OUT THERE AND HE, HE'S GONNA PUT A BRAND NEW PLYWOOD, UH, WHERE THERE'S BEAMS TO BE PUT IN.

HE'S GONNA PUT BEAMS AND HE'S GONNA BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, MAKE IT JUST LIKE, UH, ANY OTHER HOME THAT'S WITH A NEW ROOF.

UH, ALL THIS IS GONNA BE COME CUT OFF, IS THIS, THERE'S A SLAB THERE, IT'S GONNA BE JUST A PATIO.

AND THAT'S ACTUALLY THE GREATEST THING THAT THAT COULD HAPPEN, IS I'M ACTUALLY FORTUNATE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO REDUCE THE, THE, THE COST OF ROOFING THAT, THAT PORTION OF THE HOUSE.

AND HE, UH, HE WALKED AROUND AND HE DIDN'T FALL, YOU KNOW, UN UNLIKE THAT PORTION RIGHT THERE, BECAUSE, UM, OBVIOUSLY OVER THE, UH, YEARS WE HAD A TRANS, UH, RIFFRAFF LIVE THERE.

AND, UH, WE, WE'VE BEEN IN THE PROCESS OF, UH, OF, UH, EVICTING THEM.

AND I, I'M SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

I'M ACTUALLY, UH, KIND OF OVERWHELMED, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

I CAME OVER HERE AND I, LIKE, I'M GOING, I'M GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD, RIGHT? 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M USED TO DOING IT.

I'M, I'VE BEEN RENTING OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, UH, LIKE I SAID, I OWN A MARTIAL ARTS GYM, A BOXING GYM.

I, I DON'T LOOK FOR PROBLEMS. BUT, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF PROBLEMS THERE.

AND I THINK IF WE DO, UM, REHAB THIS, UH, THIS PROPERTY, IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT ASSET TO THE COMMITTEE RUNNING ALL THOSE RIFF AFF AWAY.

SO I'M ACTIVELY DOING THAT.

YOU KNOW, JUST THE OTHER DAY I WAS, UH, PART OF THE PROBLEM IS, UH, THIS RIFF, RAF, I, I WENT THERE AND, UH, I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE.

AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE GUY HAD THREE WARRANTS FOR HIS ARREST, YOU KNOW? AND, UH, I THINK OFFICER, UH, PEREZ TOO ALSO WENT OVER THERE ONE TIME AND SHE HAD SOME PEOPLE ESCORTED FOR WARRANTS FOR THE ARREST.

SO THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE AFRAID OF ME.

THAT'S FINE.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT NICE BECAUSE THEY, THEY'RE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TRANSIENTS.

SO I WANNA FIGHT FOR THE PROPERTY, AND, UH, THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.

IS IT, IS THE PROPERTY SECURED WHERE THEY CAN'T GET IN? WELL, THE THING, THE THING IS THAT, UH, MY BROTHER, UHHUH , HE, HE FILED FOR A, UH, AN EVICTION NOTICE ON MARSHA ADAMS. AND, UH, THE, WHAT SHE DOES IS, I'M, I GUESS HE'S FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS.

SHE, UH, THE, THE CONSTABLE, WHOEVER SERVES THE, UH, THE NOTICE, SHE, SHE RUNS OUT THE WINDOW.

AND THEN WHEN, WHEN THEY'RE IN THE FRONT, SHE, SHE JUMPS INTO THE WINDOW AND, AND DOESN'T OPEN THE DOOR.

AND UNLESS, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW THE PROCESS WORKS, ARREST FOR WARRANTS, BUT SHE'S, UH, SHE'S A HARD NUT TO CRACK.

SO, UH, IT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL THE FIRST TIME.

UH, AND, UH, SO WE, UH, DID ANOTHER, UH, EVICTION.

WE POSTED IT, AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS AGAIN.

BUT NOW, THIS TIME, I'M THE ONE DOING IT INSTEAD OF MY BROTHER AND I, I THINK HOPEFULLY THAT I'M MORE, UH, SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS.

AND I'M, UH, I WILL BE, HOPEFULLY I'LL, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T PROMISE ANYTHING, BUT OBVIOUSLY I JUST, THAT'S THE GOAL.

THE GOAL IS TO HAVE HER HER OUT.

AND THAT WE ALSO SERVED, UH, EVICTION NOTICE FOR THE, THE, THE GUY THAT WAS THERE, I WAS AT, I WAS THERE WORKING AND SAID HE DIDN'T EVEN GIMME HIS NAME AND WHO HE WAS TO CALL THE POLICE.

THEY TOOK HIM OUT.

AND, UH, HE'S BACK, YOU KNOW, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANNOT, UH, YOU KNOW, CITE HIM FOR TRESPASSING OR ANYTHING BECAUSE HE'S SAYING HE LIVES THERE.

SO NOW WE'RE, WE'RE SERVING A, UH, ANOTHER EVICTION PROCESS TO HIM, AND THEN TO EVERY, AND THE, WE WERE CONSULTED TO JUST GO PUT A JANE AND JOHN DOE FOR ANYBODY'S THERE.

'CAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO'S THERE, HONESTLY.

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW THE RAFTER.

IT'S COMING AND GOING, AND WITH THIS, THIS INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE THERE.

SO, UH, I KNOW THAT WHEN I GO THERE, THEY SEE ME.

THEY, THEY GO THE OTHER WAY, YOU KNOW? BUT, UH, UH, I'M OFF TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK, AND EVERY TIME THEY SEE ME, THEY JUST TURN AROUND THE OTHER WAY.

SO I'M, UH, I'M GOING TO TRY TO LOOK FOR LEGAL COUNSEL OR

[00:15:01]

BUT THAT'S THE, YOU KNOW, THE LAWS AREA, IT'S ILLEGAL.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW AND RESPECT THE RULE OF THE LAW.

AND I'M WILLING TO DO THAT, OBVIOUSLY, UH, GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF EVICTION.

AND THEN, BUT MAN, IF ANYBODY CAN GIMME ANY, ANY TYPE OF, UH, ADVICE, HOW TO GET THESE PEOPLE OUT THAT, THAT DON'T WANT TO GET OUT, I, I'M ALL EARS, YOU KNOW? RIGHT.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE EXPERIENCED IN THAT MATTER.

LET'S SEE IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? WE THANK YOU FOR COVID.

THANK YOU, SIR.

YES, SIR.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE 1 32 OR 1 34 NORTHEAST NINTH? SEE, NONE.

THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS AT THIS TIME.

I MAY I MAKE A COMMENT REALLY QUICK.

UH MM-HMM .

UH, MY SISTER OBVIOUSLY IS THE LEGAL OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

AND I'M, I'M HERE IN DALLAS, SO I'M WILLING TO SPEAK FOR HER.

SHE DOES HAVE HEALTH ISSUES IN GRAND PER, I MEAN, IN, IN DENVER.

SO HER, HER HUSBAND WAS HERE FOR A FEW DAYS YESTERDAY, AND HIS SCHOOL, IT WAS HELPFUL.

HE HELPED PUT THE NO TRESPASSING SIGNS WITH THE EVICTION NOTICE AND STUFF.

SO HE, SO IT'S, IT'S A SHOT IN THE ARM, HAVING OTHER PEOPLE HELP YOU INSTEAD OF ME HAVING, DOING, HAVING TO DO IT ALONE, YOU KNOW? AND ALSO, OBVIOUSLY FOR MY SAFETY OF MYSELF, YOU KNOW, I HAVE KIDS, RIGHT? UH, UH, AND, UH, AND, UH, BUT I TRY, I TRY TO DO EVERYTHING THE LEGAL WAY, BUT, UH, IS, UH, MY SISTER DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE MY BROTHER WAS KIND OF LIKE, NOT, WAS MINIMIZING EVERYTHING.

AND, UH, AND I KNOW, I KNOW THAT, UH, OFFICER PEREZ WAS THE CAUSE OF OTHER PROBLEMS, WHICH I, UH, AND I MEAN THAT AS A GIST.

I MEAN, SHE'S, UH, SHE ACTUALLY, SHE IS, UH, DOING HER JOB WELL.

I RESPECT HER.

UH, SHE WENT OVER THE, IT'S MUTUAL.

I THINK SHE WENT OVER THERE AND, AND, AND, YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT THE SITUATION THAT'S GOING ON.

BUT, UH, THIS THING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST YEAR.

AND SHE'S THE ONE THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, FOUND OUT WAS GOING ON.

AND MY SISTER WAS NOT APPRISED OF THIS.

THIS IS ALL UNDER, YOU KNOW, AND, AND MY BROTHER WAS MINIMIZING EVERYTHING.

AND WE BASICALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION UNTIL IT WAS UNTIL JUNE.

AND THEN THAT'S WHEN I BECAME INVOLVED.

AND THAT'S, AND I, I UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS, AND I'M, I KNOW THAT, UH, I MEAN, YOU, YOU, YOU GUYS CAN GIVE US, YOU KNOW, THE, THE AX ON, HOWEVER, BECAUSE YOU GUYS THE POWER, YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.

BUT OBVIOUSLY, I, I, YOU KNOW, HOPE, UH, THAT YOU GUYS CAN GIVE US THE EFFORT TO, TO WORK WITH THIS.

YES SIR.

SO THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS ON THIS, UH, PROPERTY.

I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ADOPT STAFF'S RECOMMENDED FINDINGS AND ORDERS.

OKAY? I HAVE A MOTION TO ADOPT STAFF'S RECOMMENDED FINDINGS AND ORDERS.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? HAVE A SECOND.

NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A HEARING CONCERNING ALLEGED DANGEROUS STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 4 9 0 DOVER ROAD, NUMBER 1 94, HERE IN GRAND PRAIRIE STAFF.

ALL OPPOSED, THAT MOTION CARRIED BY VOTE OF SIX ZERO.

[3. Hearing concerning alleged Dangerous Structure(s) located at 490 Dover Rd., # 194, Grand Prairie, Texas ]

FOUR 90 DOVER ROAD.

THIS IS ONE WE, WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE, ARE THE ONES TONIGHT.

THIS IS A MANUFACTURED HOME.

THAT'S A BELTLINE TO THE RIGHT UP IN SHERWOOD VILLAGE, I THINK SHERWOOD VILLAGE.

NUMEROUS NEIGHBORHOOD COMPLAINTS.

UM, MOBILE HOME PARK.

UH, THAT'S IT, WITH A RED DOT ON IT.

, UH, THE NEIGHBOR.

AND, UH, UH, THERE'S A BUNCH OF FOLKS IN AND OUT OF THIS HOUSE.

UH, REC RECORDED OWNER IS, UH, BELIEVED TO BE DECEASED YEARS AGO.

UH, AND THE WOMAN THAT LIVES IN IT CLAIMS TO BE CLAIMS TO BE A GRANDDAUGHTER.

WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF THAT, THAT WE CAN FIND.

AND THERE'S OTHER LISTED RELATIVES I'VE FOUND IN SOME OF MY DATABASES, BUT I, I CAN'T EVER REACH, CAN'T REACH THEM.

SO THIS IS THE, UH, OUT OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE OR MANUFACTURED HOME.

UH, A LOT OF ITEMS ON THE PORCH THAT WINDOW'S BROKEN.

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE WALL THERE, THERE'S A ROUND HOLE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS IN THERE, BUT IT'S PLUGGED UP WITH SOME STUFF.

YEAH, THERE'S A BETTER

[00:20:01]

LOOK AT THE WINDOW.

THAT'S THE PORCH, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE.

I DIDN'T GO UP THERE 'CAUSE I MY BALANCE ISN'T THAT GOOD.

AND, AND I WASN'T BRAVE ENOUGH.

BUT OTHER OFFICERS.

AND THE DID, THEY DID THE, WE TOOK THE POLICE WITH US TO EXECUTE THIS WARRANT AND, UH, THE INSPECTION WARRANT.

AND THERE WERE SIX PEOPLE IN THERE, INCLUDING THAT WOMAN THAT COMPLAIN CLAIMS TO BE THE GRANDDAUGHTER.

THREE OF 'EM WERE PUT IN JAIL FOR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.

SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I THINK, WELL BELIEVES THIS IS A DRUG HOUSE.

AND IN FACT, WITHIN THE LAST MONTH OR TWO, THERE WAS A, A, A CUTTING, STABBING, NO KILLING, JUST HURT, INJURED, AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.

UH, THIS IS INSIDE, THAT'S ELECTRICAL WIRING EXPOSED.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CUT SUCH BIG, I, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THINGS ARE LIKE THEY ARE FROM THESE THINGS.

BUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, MORE EXPOSED WIRE, MORE EXPOSED WIRE AND TANGLES OF CORDS.

THAT'S THE, IN THE LIVING ROOM, MORE EXPOSED WIRING.

THE ENTIRE SUGAR BREAKER PANEL IS EXPOSED.

UH, THIS IS SOME OF THE LIVING CONDITIONS.

IT'S, IT'S, UH, IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY LIVE THERE, BUT THEY ARE.

ANYWAY.

SO THAT'S A BEDROOM.

THAT'S THE BATHROOM.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE, THERE'S NO WATER.

SO THE BATHROOM'S NOT USABLE.

SO THAT'S THE TUB THAT'S COVERED UP IN THAT GAS BOTTLE'S ON A, ON WHAT WOULD BE THE SINK? THERE'S A SECOND BEDROOM, I GUESS YOU HAD ROOM TO LAY DOWN THERE.

AND A THIRD BEDROOM DRILL, THIS IS IN THE OUTSIDE.

THIS IS THE MORE BROKEN OUT WINDOWS.

INADEQUATE WEATHER PROTECTION.

THAT'S A WATER HEATER, BUT THERE'S NO WATER.

SO THERE'S ELECTRICITY FROM SOMEWHERE, BUT NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.

SO THEY CAN'T DETERMINE HOW WELL, HOW THAT'S WIRED IN.

SO THERE'S ANOTHER BROKEN WINDOW OR PANELS IN THE WINDOWS.

ANOTHER ONE.

AND SO THAT'S, UH, THAT'S THE TOILET.

AND SO THEY'RE IN THOSE BUCKETS, UH, IS THEIR SEPTIC SYSTEM, I GUESS, IF YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE IT THAT WAY.

AND THAT'S AN EXAMPLE.

THE PROPERTY, THE STRUCTURE IS A SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN GRAND PRAIRIE CODE OF ORDINANCES 29 18, 1, 2, 7, 9, AND 11.

THE STRUCTURE IS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN GRAND PRAIRIE.

CODE OF ORDINANCE IS 29 28 1 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, AND 17.

AND OUR ORDERS THAT WE RECOMMEND ENSURE THE STRUCTURE IS REPAIRED, REMOVED, OR DEMOLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDER.

OWNER SHALL KEEP THE STRUCTURE SECURE FROM ENTRY UNTIL THE STRUCTURE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW.

ANY PERSON HAVING AN INTEREST IN THE STRUCTURE MAY REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE AT SUCH PERSON'S OWN RISK TO PREVENT THE ACQUIRING OF A LIEN AGAINST THE LAND UPON WHICH THE STRUCTURE STANDS.

SHOULD THE OWNER FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER THE CITY IS AUTHORIZED AT ITS DISCRETION TO REPAIR, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE IN ANY ACCESSORY REQUIRED TO BE DEMOLISHED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE, OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, ASSESS A CITY PENALTY IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,000 PER DAY FOR EACH DAY THAT THE STRUCTURE CONTINUES TO BE IN VIOLATION.

ANY EXPENSES OWED TO THE CITY BY THE OWNER WILL BE BILLED TO THE OWNER.

FAILURE TO PAY THE CHARGES WILL RESULT IN A LIEN PLACED ON THE PROPERTY.

SUCH COSTS, PENALTIES, OR EXPENSES SHALL ACCRUE INTEREST AT A RATE OF 10% PER ANNUM.

THE CITY SHALL HAVE ALL REMEDIES PROVIDED BY LAW TO RECOVER MONEY OWED THE CITY, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO PLACE A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY.

UNLESS IT IS A HOMESTEAD PROTECTED BY THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, ANY SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF THE PROPERTY IS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? NO.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? NO QUESTIONS, STAFF.

KITT, YOU WOULD COME FORWARD.

WE HAVE A SPEAKER, A COUPLE SPEAKERS, UH, WE'LL CALL UP, UH, TOMMY

[00:25:01]

STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD AND, UH, YOUR POSITION ON THIS PROPERTY, PLEASE.

MY NAME'S TOMMY KENT.

I WAS, UH, I'M A FARMER BOARD MEMBER OF SHERWOOD VILLAGE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION.

AND I WAS THE PRESIDENT.

AND THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT.

WE HIRED A, A GROUP OF ATTORNEYS TO GET THEM EVICTED.

AND IT, THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE NOT OVER THREE MONTHS AND THREE YEARS LATER THEY STILL, WELL, THEY ACTUALLY QUIT IT.

SO WE WAS NEVER ABLE TO GET 'EM OUT.

'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT, UH, THEY'RE NOT OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY.

AND, UH, THEY, THE LADY THAT, UH, OWNED IT, SHE PASSED AWAY IN, UH, 2017 OR 18, SOMEWHERE ALONG THERE.

AND IT WAS NEVER PROBATED.

AND SO WE, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE, AS THE, UH, THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, WE JUST SEE THAT THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE FOLLOWED.

SO THEY SAID, WE HAVE NO RIGHT.

AS A PROPERTY OWNER.

SO Y'ALL OWE THE LAND THAT THE, DO Y'ALL OWN THE LAND THAT THE, THAT MOBILE HOME SETS SOLD? THE PE YEAH.

EACH, EACH, UH, HOMESTEAD IS, UH, OWNED BY THE PERSON.

OH, OKAY.

SO NOT THE ASSOCIATION.

THEY DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY.

AND YOU CAN'T RENT A MOBILE HOME.

NOW YOU CAN RENT THE PROPERTY.

BUT WHOEVER LIVES IN IT HAS TO OWN THE MOBILE HOME.

AND THESE, HERE, THEY'RE SQUATTERS BECAUSE THEY JUST MOVED IN AND IT WAS CONSTANTLY DIFFERENT ONES IN THERE.

AND THE POLICE WAS OUT CONSTANTLY.

AND, UH, THE CITY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THAT WAS UP TO US TO DO IT.

WE TRIED DOING IT AND WE COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE WE, THEY SAID WE WASN'T OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY ITSELF.

SO ANYWAY, IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN THAT WAY.

AND WHAT IS IT? WHO'S PAID TAXES ON IT? TAXES HASN'T BEEN PAID ON IT.

SO IT'S JUST, IT IS ABANDONED PROPERTY THEN.

AND, UH, YEAH.

IT HA AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE TAXES HADN'T BEEN PAID SINCE THE LADY DIED.

AND THAT'S 2017 OR 18, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

OH, WOW.

AND WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS THE ASSOCIATION.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE JUST, BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE ON IT.

AND I MEAN, WE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON ATTORNEYS TRYING TO GET 'EM OUT AND WE COULDN'T DO IT.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S BEEN A SORE SPOT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT WAS IN THERE WAS, I ALWAYS CALLED THEM DEADBEATS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WORK.

THEY ROAMED THE PROPERTY AT NIGHT, STEALING STUFF.

AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE ELECTRICITY ENCORE COME OUT, UH, 20 20, 23, I BELIEVE IT WAS.

AND THEY, THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE ELECTRICAL BOX OF A LADY NEXT DOOR, AND THEY FOUND WHERE FOUR 90 THE PEOPLE THERE HAD RUN A WIRE FROM HER BOX OVER TO THERE.

OH WOW.

AND I MEAN, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST ONE THING RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER.

AND, UH, WE, WE WAS TRYING TO GET IT SO THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY GET RID OF THE MOBILE HOME BECAUSE IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT A HOME.

CHARGES ON THEM TO WHERE WE COULD KEEP 'EM OUT OF THE PARK.

AND, UH, IT NEEDS TO BE TORE DOWN.

AND THE PEOPLE THERE EVICTED WHO, IF WE COULD EVER GET AN EVICTION NOTICE, WE'D PUT NO TRESPASSING

[00:30:01]

'CAUSE WE DON'T WANT 'EM THERE.

BUT LIKE I SAID, WE, WE'VE TRIED AND TRIED AND HADN'T HAD ANY LUCK.

WELL, LET'S SEE IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO YOU SAID IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR THREE YEARS? CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING IN THERE.

IT'S BEEN DIFFERENT.

SOME OF 'EM, SOME OF 'EM ARE THE SAME PEOPLE.

SOME OF 'EM ARE THE SAME.

AND, UH, BUT I MEAN, THERE WAS, UM, PROBABLY IF YOU COULD COUNT ALL OF 'EM THAT HAD BEEN IN THERE MM-HMM .

IT WOULD BE HUNDREDS OF THEM.

MM.

AND THEY, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY'RE IN THERE AND THEN THEY POLICE COMES OUT AND THEN THEY'LL, THEY MAY GO AND SOMEBODY ELSE COMES IN MM-HMM .

BUT THE ONE IS, UH, I THINK HER NAME WAS DESIREE.

SHE WAS, UH, ALWAYS THERE.

HAVE YOU, HAS THE HOA ATTEMPTED TO BOARD UP THE PROPERTY? NO, WE CAN'T.

WE, WE CAN'T DO IT IF WE DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY.

THAT, THAT'S WHAT THE, WE, WE ACTUALLY GOT THE, THE ATTORNEY WE HAVE NOW FOR THE PARK MM-HMM .

HE'S THE ONE THAT TOLD US THAT WE COULDN'T EVICT THEM BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THE PROPERTY OWNERS.

ARE THERE ANY HOA FEES IN THIS ASSOCIATION? YES.

AND THIS PROPERTY IS NOT PAYING THE HOA FEES.

THEY'RE NOT PAYING THE HOA DUES, CORRECT? NO, THEY HAVEN'T PAID NOTHING.

COULD THE HOA MOVE TO PUT A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE OF LACK OF PAYMENT? WE DO HAVE LIENS ON THE PROPERTY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? NOPE.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

IT'S PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION.

THERE IS A WILL AND TESTAMENT THAT WE HAVE WHERE SHE IS THE, UH, GRANDDAUGHTER.

UM, SHE HAS BEEN, 'CAUSE WE HAD HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH HER.

UM, I'M NEW TO THE BOARD, BUT I WAS READING, UM, THERE HAS BEEN CONVERSATIONS WITH HER, UM, TO BRING THE ACCOUNT CURRENT, TO BRING IT UP TO PAR TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, IT'S FIXED THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

UM, SHE STATES THAT SHE'S GONNA GET IT DONE AND DOESN'T GET IT DONE.

UM, THEY DID CONTRACT, LIKE, UH, TOMMY MENTIONED AN ATTORNEY TO HELP US.

UM, WE WERE TOLD, OH, IT'S GOING TO FORECLOSURE NEXT MONTH.

AND WE WERE LIKE, OH, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT.

NOPE.

DIDN'T GO, OH, IT'S GOING TO FORECLOSURE NEXT MONTH.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

THEY JUST KEEP STRANG US AND WE WERE PAYING IN PAYING.

UM, NOW I WAS READING AND, AND MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE COULD DO TO WHERE NOW THAT THE DUES HAVE, UM, EXCEEDED, UH, LIKE THEY'RE, THEY'RE BEYOND, UM, WHAT THEY WERE WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED.

I, UH, LET'S SEE IF I HAVE A CURRENT COPY OF THE DUE HERE.

UM, WHAT I WAS THINKING IS MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE COULD, OR MAYBE Y'ALL COULD ASSIST US IN, IN FINDING SOMEONE OR SOME PLACE THAT COULD HELP US TO, UM, GET, UM, HER EVICTED, EVICTED FROM THE PROPERTY.

UM, COMPLETELY.

'CAUSE WE ARE TIRED OF HAVING, UM, HER THERE WITH BRINGING SO MANY PEOPLE IN

[00:35:01]

THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW.

UM, OUR SHAREHOLDERS ARE AFRAID.

UM, SOMETIMES THEY WALK, THEY CARRY DOGS WITH THEM.

SO WE CAN'T TELL 'EM, HEY, YOU CAN'T BE IN THE PROPERTY.

THIS IS PRIVATE OWNED.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE'VE TRIED TO TELL THEM THAT, BUT THEN WE DON'T KNOW.

SOME OF 'EM MAY BE CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS AND WE'RE AFRAID.

SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CALL THE COPS AND THEY SAY, WELL, THEY SAY THEY LIVE THERE, .

OKAY, SO WHAT CAN YOU HELP US WITH? SO WE WANT THEM OUT.

WE'VE TRIED, WE'VE PAID MONEY HERE.

WE PAID MONEY THERE.

WE DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT WHAT'S, WHAT ELSE, YOU KNOW, DO, UH, I MEAN, I, I'M GONNA LOOK TO SEE IF MAYBE I FIND ANOTHER AVENUE THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO, UM, HELP US GET THEM OUT.

UM, WE EVENTUALLY WANT THAT HOUSE DEMOLISHED.

MAYBE, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WILL, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S NO HOUSE, WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GO? RIGHT.

AND, UH, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING Y'ALL CAN, Y'ALL CAN HELP US WITH OR POINT US TO THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS.

WE HAVE PUT A LIEN I SAW WHERE THERE'S A LIEN PLACED ON THE PROPERTY.

UM, AND THAT WAS, UM, THE ONLY PLACE WE CAN POINT YOU IS TO THE STAFF, YOU KNOW, SITTING RIGHT OVER HERE, UH, LEGALLY.

I MEAN, WE CAN'T POINT YOU ANYWHERE ELSE, SO, YEAH.

BUT, UH, THEY MAY HAVE RESOURCES OR CONTACTS OR WHATEVER THEY CAN SHARE WITH YOU, BUT WE AS A BOARD, WE, WE DON'T, SO.

UH, LET, LET ME SEE IF THE BOARD HAS ANY QUESTIONS OF YOU THOUGH REAL QUICK.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? I HAVE A QUESTION.

SO I SEE NOTIFICATIONS STARTING THIS YEAR, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THREE YEARS.

THERE'S BEEN NOTIFICATIONS GOING ON CONSTANTLY WE'RE SENDING TO THEM.

NEVER BEFORE TO THIS BOARD THOUGH.

HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER FINES OTHER THAN FAILURE TO PAY HOA DUES, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, HOW IT WAS KEPT UP, ALL OF THE GARBAGE THAT WAS OUT FRONT.

HAVE YOU GUYS, THOSE THE, WE DO HAVE FINES FOR THAT AS WELL.

YOU HAVE FINES FOR THAT AS WELL? YES.

AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS NO, UH, VALID UTILITIES TO THE HOUSE, BUT THERE IS ELECTRICITY THERE, UH, FROM, I HAD NO IDEA.

BUT FROM WHAT Y'ALL SHOW, THE LOOKS ON THE PICTURES THEY DO HAVE.

UM, ELECTRICITY, WHO KNOWS WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.

THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY MM-HMM .

I MEAN.

'CAUSE WE, WE CONTACTED, I THINK THAT THAT WAS AT ONE POINT IT WAS MENTIONED THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY CONTACT ENCORE SO THAT THERE WOULD BE NO ELECTRICITY.

'CAUSE THAT WAS ANOTHER FORM OF, YOU KNOW MM-HMM .

GETTING THE PEOPLE OUT.

BECAUSE WHAT CAN WE DO? WE WERE, WE WERE LEFT TO DO THIS, TRY THAT.

AND, AND NOTHING'S WORKED SO FAR AND THE WATER METER HAS BEEN COVERED WITH CEMENT SO THEY WOULDN'T BREAK IN.

AND BECAUSE IT'S A, UH, POA SO EVERYONE PAYS MM-HMM .

WE HAVE ONE BILL FOR THE WHOLE PARK.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO ADD? NO, WE JUST, UH, ASK FOR HELP.

I WOULD, I WOULD DIRECT YOU TO THE STAFF RIGHT OVER HERE.

MAYBE THEY CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOME RESOURCES OR MAYBE THEY GOT SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO.

UH, YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M UNAWARE OF, BUT WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON, UH, 4 9 0 DOVER ROAD, NUMBER 1 94.

IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD SEEING NONE, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS AT THIS TIME.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR, FOR ALAN.

GO AHEAD.

HAVE WE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ANYONE IN THAT HOME? YEAH.

THE, THE WOMAN OF COMPLAINTS TO BE CLAIMS TO BE THE GRANDDAUGHTER.

DESIREE, SHE WAS PRESENT THE DAY WE DID THE INSPECTION.

SHE WAS THERE.

NOT IN ANY DISTRESS.

DID SHE LOOK LIKE MAYBE SHE WAS BEING HELD AGAINST HER WILL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? NO.

JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE ONE GUY WOULDN'T COME OUT, RIGHT? OH YEAH.

WE HAD A, HAD PAT THE COPS IN THERE, GET HIM OUT, BANG ON THE DOOR FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE HE GOT UP IN THE ROUTE.

[00:40:01]

SO THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS AT THIS TIME.

SO I HAVE A QUESTION, UH, FOR YOU, MS. BULL.

THE STAFF ORDER IS TO ENSURE THE STRUCTURE IS REPAIRED, REMOVED, OR DEMOLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE LAW WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE.

BECAUSE IT IS SUBSTANDARD AND BECAUSE IT IS AN EYESORE AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE RESIDENTS WHO ARE FEARFUL OF THEIR HOMES, CAN WE NOT EXPEDITE THIS 30 DAYS? NO.

YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM A MINIMUM OF 30 DAYS TO REPAIR, REMOVE, OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE.

LET ME REPHRASE MY QUESTION.

CAN WE, CAN WE EXPEDITE THE DAYS TO JUST SECURE THE WINDOWS? SO YOU'RE WANTING TO GIVE THEM A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME TO SECURE THE WINDOWS, TO CLEAN UP THE PROPERTY, TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE CLEARLY WE HAVE RESIDENTS HERE WHO HAVE PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP AND WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS IN THE HOUSE THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE HOUSE THAT IS WEARING DOWN THE PROPERTY AND WEARING DOWN THE NEIGHBORS.

CAN WE NOT DO SOMETHING SOONER? IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO SOONER THAN 30 DAYS? WE CAN REQUIRE THEM TO SECURE THE PROPERTY SOONER.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY, THE CITY MM-HMM .

HAS THE ABILITY TO ENFORCE VIOLATIONS OF THE NUISANCE ORDINANCE.

AND THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE DONE BY THE CODE MANAGER AS THE NUISANCE ADMINISTRATOR.

UM, AND THAT'S A PROCESS SEPARATE FROM THE BOARD NOW.

IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT I THINK Y'ALL WOULD BE ABLE TO DO HERE BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN NOTICED THAT WAY.

THIS IS FOR THE DANGEROUS SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE.

YOU JUST TOLD ME NO AGAIN, BUT I LIKE THE WAY YOU TOLD ME.

NO, THIS TIME .

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

I, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE GO WITH STAFF'S FINDINGS AND THEIR RECOMMENDED ORDERS, UM, TO SECURE REMOVE OR DEMOLISH WITHIN 30 DAYS.

AND, AND WERE YOU ALSO WANTING IT TO BE SECURED FROM ENTRY WITHIN 24 HOURS OR, BECAUSE THAT, I TOLD YOU, YOU COULD DO, YOU COULD GIVE 'EM A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME TO SECURE IT FROM ENTRY IF YOU WANTED TO.

SO IF WE GIVE THEM WITHIN 24 HOURS TO SECURE IT A SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME, WHO ENFORCES THAT? SO IF IT'S NOT SECURED FROM ENTRY, THEN STAFF CAN SECURE IT FROM ENTRY AND PLACE A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY FOR THAT AMOUNT.

I'M, I'M STARTING TO LIKE YOU AGAIN.

I LIKE THAT.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDED ORDER AND ADD THAT THE PROPERTY NEEDS TO BE SECURED WITHIN 24 HOURS.

I THINK THAT'S MORE THAN FAIR.

AND, AND JUST FOR THE CLARITY OF EVERYONE, THIS DOES NOT SECURE IT FROM ENTRY FROM THE RESIDENCE, IT JUST MEANS THAT BROKEN WINDOWS MM-HMM .

THOSE TYPES OF BROKEN DOORS WOULD NEED TO BE SECURED SO THAT ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO RESIDE THERE CAN MAKE A LEGITIMATE ENTRANCE INTO IT.

IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY RESIDING THERE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RESIDE THERE.

THAT'S CORRECT.

MY GOAL IS TO START TO PUT UP SOME DETERRENT.

WE, WE WON'T GET 'EM OUT IN 24 HOURS, BUT WE CAN BEGIN THE PROCESS.

UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S HAWTHORNE'S THEORY.

YOU KNOW WHEN MORE EYES ARE ON YOU, YOU TEND TO COMPLY OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT TO THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDED ORDER THAT THE PROPERTY IS SECURED, UH, WITHIN 24 HOURS.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I HAVE A SECOND.

ALL OPPOSED THAT MOTIONS CARRIED ABOVE VOTE OF SIX ZERO.

[00:45:02]

[4. Hearing Concerning Dangerous Structure(s) located at 1605 Acosta, Grand Prairie, Texas]

ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS A HEARING CONCERNING A DANGER STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 1605 ACOSTA HERE, GREG PRAIRIE STAFF.

OKAY, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A REVIEW OF THE ONES WE'VE DONE BEFORE.

THIS IS, UH, JUST NORTH OF MARSHALL HERE ON, ON ACOSTA.

THIS IS THE, THE HOME WITH A HOLE IN THE ROOF.

THAT WAS BACK WHEN WE STARTED THIS WHENEVER DAY.

IT WAS WHEN WE STARTED TO, THIS WAS NOT LAST MONTH, BUT MAYBE THE MONTH BEFORE.

IT'S STILL LIKE THAT.

FEW ADDITIONAL ORDERS, ADDITIONAL FINDINGS.

THE YARD'S KEPT UP.

I MEAN, IT'S OUTSIDE OF THE HOLE IN THE ROOF, UH, AND PROBABLY INTERIOR DAMAGE.

SHE SECURED THE WINDOWS AND, AND CLEANED UP THE BACKYARD.

THIS WAS BEFORE, BUT THAT'S, THAT, THAT WINDOW'S BEEN SECURED.

THAT'S STILL GONNA BE LIKE THAT AND GETTING WORSE AS IT RAINS ON IT.

SO IN APRIL, UH, OUR FINDINGS WERE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW.

NOTICE OF THE HEARING WAS GIVEN TO THE OWNER LIEN HOLDER AND OTHER PARTIES WITH AN INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY LOCATED THERE AT 1605 ACOSTA.

THE RESIDENCE LOCATED IN THE PROPERTY CONTAINS HOLES IN THE ROOF THAT LED TO DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR HOUSE, INCLUDING COLLAPSED CEILING AND WARPING OF THE ROOF DECK STRUCTURES VACANT AND SHOWS SIGNS OF VANDALISM AND UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS.

BUT THE STRUCTURE CONTAINS A MOLD, LIKE SUBSTANCE STRUCTURE IS SUBSTANCE STANDARD STRUCTURE AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN GRAND PRAIRIE CODE OF ORDINANCE 29 18, 1, 12 7, 9, AND 11.

AND THE STRUCTURE IS ALSO A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN GRAND PRAIRIE CODE OF ORDINANCE AS SECTION 29 28 4 5 7 8 12 13, 15, AND 17.

THEN IN APRIL, IN THE, THE, THIS IS THE ORDERS THAT GENERALLY WE GIVE, BUT THE, THE, IN THE BOWL, THE OWNER SHALL APPEAR AT THE NEXT BUILDING ADVISOR APPEALS BOARD MEETING ON MAY 5TH AT AT SIX O'CLOCK HERE AT CITY HALL WITH A DETAILED PLAN FROM A CONTRACTOR, WHICH INCLUDES A PLAN OF ACTION FOR THE NEXT 30, 60, 90, AND 120 DAYS.

AND THAT THEN YOU COULD, UH, CONSIDER EXTENDING THE TIME FOR THE COMPLIANCE AT THAT TIME.

SO ON JUNE 2ND WE MET AND, UH, THE, THE HEARING OWNER OF THE PROPERTY DID NOT PRESENT A DETAILED PLAN AND SCHEDULE OF THE WORK.

THE BOARD MADE THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS AND ISSUED THE FOLLOWING ORDERS.

THE OWNER NEEDS ADDITIONAL TIME TO PROVIDE A DETAILED PLAN, EXTENDING THE TIME TO COMPLY WITH, PROVIDE THE OWNER SUFFICIENT TIME TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE OR OBTAIN THE REQUIRED INFORMATION TO, UH, JUSTIFY AN EXTENSION OF TIME.

THE ORDER WAS STILL TO ENSURE THE STRUCTURE IS REPAIRED, REMOVED, OR DEMOLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW NO LATER THAN JULY 7TH AT 11:59 PM THE OWNER SHALL APPEAR AT THE NEXT BUILDING ADVISORY AND APPEALS BOARD MEETING ON JULY 7TH.

AT TONIGHT AT 6:00 PM AT GRAND PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL.

CHAMBERS AT THIS ADDRESS, 300 WEST MAIN STREET, UH, WITH A DETAILED PLAN FROM A CONTRACTOR, WHICH INCLUDES A PLAN OF ACTION FOR THE NEXT 30, 60, 90, AND 120 DAYS.

THE BOARD MAY CONSIDER EXTENDING THE TIME FOR COMPLIANCE AT THAT TIME.

SO THIS WAS THE, UH, MONTHLY REPORT SHE PROVIDED WITH ME THE END OF JUNE.

SO IT'S BEEN SECURED.

UH, I CAN'T READ THAT WRITING UP THERE.

FAILED.

UH, BUT SO SHE'S, SHE'S LINED UP THE CONTRACTOR TO DO IT.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE WAITING ON THE FUNDING OR TRYING TO GET SOMETHING DONE THROUGH THE INSURANCE COMPANY.

AND UH, SO THAT'S WHERE SHE IS ON THAT RIGHT NOW.

SO SHE DID SUBMIT HER MONTHLY REPORT ON TIME THIS TIME.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? GO AHEAD.

UH, OF COURSE I HAVE A QUESTION, ALAN.

SO SHE HAS BEEN, THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS BEEN COMING BACK HERE MM-HMM .

UH, FAITHFULLY FOR THE LAST, UH, THREE MONTHS OR SO.

UM, WOULD YOU SAY THAT THE PROPERTY WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM TODAY AS YOU'VE SEEN IT? WELL, I MEAN, IT'S GOT A HOLE IN THE ROOF AND THE NEIGHBORS DON'T LIKE .

BUT OTHER THAN THE HOLE IN THE ROOF, IT'S JUST WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OTHER THAN THE HALLWAY, THE ROOF.

THAT, I MEAN, IT JUST NEEDS A ROOF.

I MEAN, IT NEEDS A ROOF.

I'M SURE THE INSIDE NEEDS REPAIRED NOW, BUT IT NEEDS A ROOF.

SO I THINK SOME OF THE ISSUE OF THAT IS THE FUNDING.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING THE OUTSIDE, WHICH IS WHAT THE NEIGHBORS CAN SEE AND

[00:50:01]

I MEAN, WE CAN'T POLICE THE INSIDE OF EVERYONE'S HOME.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTSIDE IS BROUGHT UP.

WELL, IF IT'S DANGEROUS OR SUBSTANDARD, WE CAN WELL, BUT IT, IT WOULD BE LESS OF THAT IF THERE WERE NO WATER COMING IN GOTCHA.

ON THE ROOF.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE.

YEAH, SO IT, I MEAN, IF, IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THE HOLE IN THE ROOF AND IT'S A BIG OLD HOLE , YOU WOULD, IT'S THE YARD MOW AND EVERYTHING'S KEPT UP.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? NOPE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

STAFF.

UH, LET'S SEE HERE.

NUMBER FOUR, I DON'T HAVE A CARD.

I DON'T HAVE A CARD FOR HER.

SHE JUST, SHE JUST FILL OUT A CARD.

SO IT'S JILL MUL.

JILL MALONE.

JILL MALONE, IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE.

HELLO.

HI, HOW ARE YOU? JILL MALONE.

1605 ACOSTA.

I COME TO PRESENT WHAT I HAVE FOR Y'ALL TODAY.

UM, I DID, UM, AS YOU SAID, I GOT THE, YOU KNOW, MY LITTLE, MY SHEET IN AS TO WHAT I WAS DOING, BUT I DID DO AS Y'ALL RECOMMENDED TO THE INSURANCE.

AND SO IT WAS PENDING.

UM, THAT'S ACTUALLY THE, THE THIRD THING.

BUT I DID RECEIVE A CONTRACT OR, OR THE, THE SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE FIR THE FIRST CONTRACTOR.

AND HE DID GIVE ME ONE, BUT THE JOB ITSELF DOESN'T TAKE 30, 60 OR 90 DAYS.

SO HE DID GIVE ME, UM, A SOMEWHAT OF A, YOU KNOW, SCOPE OF WORK WITH THE TIMEFRAME AND HIS TIMEFRAME ON THAT WAS INITIAL ASSESSMENT, NO MORE REALLY THAN FIVE DAYS.

SO I DID THAT WITH HIM, BUT I ALSO TOOK YOUR SUGGESTION FOR ANOTHER CONTRACTOR.

SO, BUT BEFORE I GOT CONTRACT, I DID FILE FOR THE INSURANCE, WHICH IT WAS PENDING UP UNTIL TODAY.

I FINALLY, THE INSURANCE FINALLY CAME OUT TODAY FOR INSPECTION.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT, BUT I ALSO HAVE, I, I DID REACH OUT FOR A SECOND CONTRACTOR WHO THEY ALSO FINANCE.

SO THAT'S WITH THE JENKINS, UH, JENKINS ROOFING.

AND SO I HAVE A ROOF INSPECTION OVERVIEW FROM THEM.

AND I THINK ON THE TIME, WELL THIS IS WHAT HE PUT, THIS IS THE, THE REVIEW THE REPORT AND CONTRACT WITH YOUR INSURANCE.

SO WE'RE, HE'S WAITING AS WELL INITIATE THE CLAIM PROCESS, SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE ADJUSTER.

WE DID THAT, NOTIFY US OF THE APPOINTMENT DATE, WHICH WAS TODAY TO ADVOCATE FOR THE JOB.

UPON THE CLAIM APPROVAL, WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO DEVELOP AND EXECUTE A SCOPE OF WORK THAT ADDRESSES ALL IDENTIFIED DAMAGE.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WAS FROM THE SECOND CONTRACTOR.

SO I'M KIND OF WAITING, BUT ALSO WE HAD DISCUSSED BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING WHO ALSO WOULD FINANCE IT.

'CAUSE I HAD ALSO WENT, UH, FOR, TO DO THE EQUITY AND I COULDN'T BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE THAT WAS ALREADY DONE.

SO THE ROOFER WAS VERY, UM, THIS SECOND ROOFER WAS VERY POSITIVE OF HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD, UH, PENDING WHAT THE INSURANCE WOULD DO.

AND IF THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, I STILL WOULD BE ABLE TO, UH, GO THROUGH THEM FOR THE FINANCING TO DO THE ROOFING.

SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WHERE THE NEXT STEP.

AND SO SUPPOSEDLY TODAY, BETWEEN TODAY AND TOMORROW, THE ADJUSTER SAID THAT HE WOULD LET ME KNOW THE OUTCOME OF THAT INSPECTION TODAY.

SO THAT'S WHERE I'M AT TODAY.

ANY QUESTIONS TO MY LEFT? NO ANY QUESTIONS TO MY RIGHT? WHEN DID, UH, SO YOU HAD THE INSPECTION DONE TODAY, CORRECT? YES.

UM, FILED IT, BUT ALSO WITH THE INSURANCE, I HAD FILED IT AND IT WAS ABOUT A WEEK OR A WEEK AND A HALF AND I HADN'T GOT A RESPONSE MM-HMM .

WHEN DID YOU, WHEN DID YOU FILE THE CLAIM ON YOUR, WITH YOUR INSURANCE? UH, I FOUND IT BACK IN JUNE.

I DON'T, LETS SEE WHAT THE DATE DID I WRITE IT DOWN? I, I DIDN'T, I DON'T HAVE THE DATE THAT I ACTUALLY,

[00:55:01]

SO BECAUSE I KEPT GOING ON THE APP LOOKING TO WHERE I WAS AT WITH THAT.

AND SO I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THAT PERSON AND, UM, THEN HE SAID HE HAD MY PAPERWORK, HE HAD IT BUT HADN'T RESPONDED.

HE SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHY HE HADN'T, BUT HE'S FROM FLORIDA.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS WORKLOAD OR WHATEVER, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT IN TODAY SCHEDULED.

WHEN, WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE GETTING A REPORT BACK ON THE INSPECTION BETWEEN TONIGHT? YOU KNOW, HE SAID TODAY, BUT BY TOMORROW I WOULD SAY IT'S ALREADY SICK.

SO BY TOMORROW I SAID NO SOMETHING, UH, FROM THEN FROM THE INSURANCE AS TO MY PLACE WITH THEM.

AND THEN I WOULD REACH OUT TO MY, THE NEW CON CONTRACTOR TO SEE HOW WE COULD GO FORWARD EITHER WAY WITH, WITH EITHER THE INSURANCE HELPING OR ME BEING ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND PROCESS A FINANCIAL SO THEY COULD GO AHEAD AND DO THE ROOF.

SO, SO IF, SO YOUR PLAN B IF INSURANCE DON'T PAY? YEAH.

YOUR PLAN B IS TO FINANCE IT THROUGH ROOFING COMPANY? YES.

AND YOU SAID IT'S NOT GONNA TAKE 'EM 30 DAYS TO GET IT DONE? RIGHT.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

UH, HAVE YOU PROVIDED THOSE DOCUMENTS YOU GOT TO STAFF? NO.

OR LET THEM HAVE A COPY OF IT OR WHATEVER THIS IS? UH, I COULD, I DIDN'T MAKE AN EXTRA COPY.

YEAH, I MEAN THEY, I'M SURE THEY COULD MAKE A COPY OR, OR TAKE A PICTURE OR SOMETHING OF IT.

I CAN DO THAT, YOU KNOW.

WELL, DO YOU MIND MAKING A COPY AND DROPPING THEM OFF TOMORROW? I CAN DO THAT, YEAH.

I CAN MAKE, THERE'S A COPY MACHINE RIGHT BACK THERE.

OH, OKAY.

THIS IS FROM THE ROOFER AND THIS IS WHAT WAS TURNED IN ALREADY? YEAH.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO PRESENT? NO, I JUST THANK Y'ALL SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME.

WELL, YEAH, THANK YOU VERY FOR GUIDING ME AND LIKE, RIGHT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING.

UH, IS ANYONE ELSE, ANY AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON 1605 ACOSTA, IF YOU WOULD COME FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

SEEING NONE, THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN ANY MOTIONS OR FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS PROPERTY.

SO WITH THE PLAN, WE GAVE THE 30, 60, 91 20.

THAT MEANS WE SEE HER AGAIN ON AUGUST FOUR.

THERE'S NOTHING IT DOESN'T, RIGHT? MM-HMM .

WELL, SO BASED ON THE ORDER THAT YOU PREVIOUSLY GAVE, IT GAVE HER UNTIL TODAY MM-HMM .

TO REPAIR, REMOVE, OR DEMOLISH.

AND SO IF YOU WANTED TO GIVE HER ADDITIONAL TIME, THEN YOU WOULD NEED TO, UM, MODIFY THE DEADLINE AND GIVE HER UNTIL A SPECIFIC DATE OR GIVE HER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS IN ORDER TO REPAIR, REMOVE, OR DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE.

NOW, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE ALSO HAD IT SET IS BECAUSE, UM, IT WAS NECESSARY FOR Y'ALL TO EXTEND IT BEYOND FOR HER TO PRESENT SOME TYPE OF A, A PLAN AND TIME SCHEDULE.

SO YOU WOULD WANT TO ADD TO ANY FINDINGS THAT YOU MAKE.

UM, IF YOU CHOOSE TO EXTEND IT, YOU WOULD WANT TO ADD A FINDING THAT SHE HAS PRESENTED, UM, A, A PLAN AND TIME SCHEDULE.

AND SO OUR NEXT MEETING IS MONDAY, AUGUST 4TH, CORRECT? UH, YES.

AND IF YOU GAVE HER 30 DAYS, THAT WOULD TAKE IT TO AUGUST 6TH.

AUGUST 6TH.

CONSIDERING THAT SHE'S ALREADY FILED THE INSURANCE CLAIM AND THEY'VE COME OUT, UM, I THINK BY AUGUST 6TH SHE DONE SOMETHING.

IT IT SHOULD BE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

, BECAUSE SHE STILL'S GOTTA, DON'T SHE HAVE TO PULL A ROOFING PERMIT OR SOMEBODY GOT TO, TO REDO THAT ROOF, RIGHT? YEAH.

THE, THE CONTRACTOR.

SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PULL A PERMIT, WHOEVER IT IS, EVEN WITH PULLING THE PERMIT AND REPLACING THE ROOF, YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A 30? NO, NOT THAT LONG AT ALL.

YOU DON'T THINK SO? OKAY.

OH, ABSOLUTELY NOT.

ABSOLUTELY NOT ABOUT A WEEK.

[01:00:01]

WELL, AUGUST 6TH I GUESS IS MM-HMM .

THAT'LL WORK WITH ME.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT Y'ALL.

YOU WANNA PUT THAT INTO MOTION OR MM-HMM .

YOU HAD SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY? NO, NO, I'M GOOD.

SO YEAH, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO MODIFY THE DEADLINE, UH, TO AUGUST 6TH AT OUR NEXT MEETING.

AND THEN ALSO, UM, ADDITIONAL FINDINGS IS THAT SHE EITHER PROVIDES PROOF OR PICTURES THAT THE ROOF HAS BEEN REPAIRED OR EITHER A PLAN OF WHEN IT WILL BE REPAIRED.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE THOUGH BY AUGUST 6TH, BUT I DON'T WANNA PUT OUR BACKS UP AGAINST THE WALL AGAIN.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YOU GUYS SH TRACKING WITH ME? SO THE ONLY LET ME, I, I'M WITH YOU.

I JUST NEED TO ASK STAFF OR THE ATTORNEY ONE QUESTION.

DO, SO WE GIVE, IF WE GIVE HER TILL THE SIXTH HMM.

SHE GETS, UH, HER FUNDING OR WHATEVER GETS THE PERMIT, GETS THE ROOF DONE, DOES THAT TAKE CARE OF THE DANGEROUS STRUCTURE? SO AS I UNDERSTAND THE MOTION, IT WOULD ENSURE THE STRUCTURE'S REPAIRED, REMOVED, OR DEMOLISHED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW NO LATER THAN AUGUST 6TH.

SO IT WOULD HAVE TO BE BROUGHT UP TO MINIMAL HOUSING STANDARDS BY AUGUST 6TH.

AND THEN IF SHE WERE TO HAVE SOME OF THE WORK COMPLETED, BUT IT NOT BROUGHT UP FULLY TO MINIMUM HOUSING STANDARDS AND YOU WISH TO EXTEND HER TIME, YOU COULD REQUIRE HER TO APPEAR AT THE AUGUST 4TH BAD MEETING AT WHICH TIME THE BOARD MAY CONSIDER EXTENDING THE TIME FOR COMPLIANCE DEPENDENT UPON THE AMOUNT OF PROGRESS.

YOU'RE SAYING HOUSING STANDARDS THAT, THAT BE LIKE, SO IT SHOULD HAVE, UM, A FUNCTIONING TOILET AND SINK.

IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO HAVE WATER SERVICE TO IT, BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS HABITABLE WHERE A PERSON COULD LIVE THERE.

SO THE MOLD WOULD NEED TO BE REMEDIATED, ASSUMING THERE IS MOLD PRESENT, UM, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS PRISTINE, NEW PEOPLE WOULD WANNA BUY IT MM-HMM .

BUT IT HAS TO MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR A PERSON TO LIVE IN MM-HMM .

SO AFTER THE WORK IS DONE, WILL THERE BE AN INSPECTION BY A CITY INSPECTOR TO DETERMINE THAT OR NOT? UH, THEY DO REGULARLY INSPECT THE PROPERTY.

TO DETERMINE AND ANY TIME BEFORE ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION IS TAKEN, THEY INSPECT IT.

AND ANYTIME BEFORE IT, AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ON THIS, ALAN, BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ANYTIME BEFORE IT COMES, BEFORE THE BOARD, THEY INSPECT IT TO UPDATE THE STATUS.

I, SUCH AS TODAY I WENT BY THE, OR AT LEAST NINE, SPOKE TO THE MAN, WENT IN THE BACK PROPERTY.

I LOOKED AT, I LOOKED AT, I LOOKED AT, AND I WAS BY 1605 COST THE LAST WEEK.

AND I JUST FIGURED THAT GROUP WASN'T GONNA GET ON IT IN A WEEK.

BUT IT'S SO I, I LOOK AT IT BEFORE .

WELL I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

I, YOU GOT, UH, WE HAVE A MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? HAVE A SECOND.

ALL I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, IS IT Y'ALL'S INTENT TO ALSO HAVE HER APPEAR ON AUGUST 4TH? I WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD THE MOTION.

ALL IN FAVOR, POLICE SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED.

MOTION CARRIED BY VOTE OF SIX ZERO.

MS. RY, WOULD YOU SECOND BACK? YES.
