a EESI. Are you? >> Yes, sir. >> Mr. Garcia is >> Yeah, Mr. Garcia is the owner. >> Okay. Any questions from commissioners? >> Mr. Garcia. Good morning. >> Morning. >> You'll state your name and city residents? >> Eduardo Garcia, Fort Worth, Texas. >> Thank you. Did you have any questions of
the code officer? >> Uh, no. >> What would you like us to know about this property and plans to for it? Um I currently have a contract with EMJ Engineering um to for the structural design, the
architectural design, all the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and um there. Let's see here. We should have everything all those
documents ready within three weeks. Um, I've since I I own that pro I own that property and the property next door. So, we've since uh gone in with a
tree service and removed all of the we move removed two trees and several stumps and um >> Sorry, can you make sure you're talking to the I'm sorry. You're good. Thank you. We removed two trees and several
stumps and we've uh cleaned up the uh all of the yard in the both areas in for both properties. Um I have estimates from two different roofing companies.
Um, I also have contracted a um a pest control service and since then, I guess in the past uh two weeks, they've removed four raccoons and two possums.
And uh yeah, just uh >> So, how long are you needing to get it back no longer substandard and hazardous? Um, I'd like 90 days to get all of my permitting in order and then I I heard
you mention earlier about uh there being uh availability for extensions once all the paperwork is in order. >> Correct. So, you don't plan on starting for 90 days or >> uh Well, we plan on starting as soon as as soon as I've got all the reports back
from the engineering firm. Do you have the fi finances to >> Yes, I do. >> Any questions from commissioners? >> Said do you have any questions? >> Yes. Okay. >> This you're here for the offer's
testimony and you heard that the case originated in June 18th, 2025. What has taken so long to start the work on the prog on this house? Now my um I'm the primary caretaker for my
parents. Um my mother is 85 years old. My father um in the past two years was di in the past five years was diagnosed with uh Parkinson's and um it was
discovered in the last year that it was actually PSP which is polyupra um super nuclear pausy and uh it's just a much more aggressive form of um
anyway he passed away January ary 28th and um so you know so now I have time to get back to work. >> The property is listed under EESI properties LLC. Are you the sole manager of
>> I am >> no further questions. >> Um Stephanie Martinez You just want to have a seat there. We'll call you back up after she >> Morning. >> Good morning, commissioners. >> If you'll state your name and city of
residence. >> Yes. Stephanie Martinez. Um I have a Hasslet mailing address, but it's actually within the city of Fort Worth. >> Okay. Um what would you said you're here as an interested individual. What would you like us to know about this property? >> Correct. Um I have family that live on either side of these two properties and
for a number of years um the properties have appeared as they do in these photos. Um minimal repairs have been made to these these structures. Um and I we would very much like to see some improvement. Um I'm very disappointed
that this current owner has had it for a number of years and it took posting the notice of this hearing before action was taken. I do um substantiate what he said in that pest control has been out to the property um to catch the wildlife and
the raccoons. Um there have been contractors on site walking the properties. Um but considering these structures are from the early 1900s pan beam lack of maintenance. Um it's going to take in my opinion quite a bit of
money to get these back up to code. um and time, but time that I don't feel is safe and considerate of the neighbors that have had to live with this um for a number of years. Again, I know it was referenced in the testimony from the
officer that there are schools and parks close to this location. The park is less than a block to Marine Park. People walk by this structure or these two structures all the time. it's open and that there's no fencing. Um,
just last year there were people that had to be removed from the property because there were squatting within it. And additionally, not just the park that's across the street, there's also an elementary school and middle school, uh, which is All Saints Catholic Church and their school that is a block away.
So, I would like to see something done quickly. Um, I understand he's asking for 90 days, which is the minimum, or I'm sorry, the maximum that you can give them. Um, but without a work plan, I'd hate for it to just be given 90 days for him to consider what he's going to do and then come back for more time when
the neighbors will have to continue to live with this next door to them. And it's not just one structure, it's this structure as well as the next one that'll be called on the agenda. >> Thank you. Yeah. So, we're only again looking at at the 2007 on this one. So, if you want to stay around for the next
one and and if you want to speak on that one, too, for the record, you may be saying the same thing, but just uh we're only considering the 207 right now. >> I understand. >> All right. Thank you. Um since you're an interested party, you don't have to take any questions. Uh I don't know if anybody has any questions. If you're
willing to answer, >> I'm willing to answer. That's why I'm here today. >> Okay. Did the city have any questions for her? >> No questions. >> Okay. All right. Thank you. Um let's see. Is the city ready to close? Yes. City requests that the structure be
declared a substandard and hazardous. City further requests that theru order the owner be ordered to repair or demolish the structure within 30 days. And if the owner fails to repair or demolish the structure within 30 days, that city staff be authorized to enter onto the property and cause the demolition of set structure and lean all
costs associated with the demolition of the property. And again, the city raises the concerns about the timeline of this property, how long it's been in a state of disrepair and the danger it is to the locations around the property. Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Mr. Garcia. Uh, you heard the city's ask
for 30 days. Uh, and I think you said for 90. Is there anything else you want to add today? >> Um, just that I guess I went to All Saints, the the school she's talking about. I'm I've uh been in contact with
the neighbors uh on the left actually and you know I've been pretty uh I guess one of the neighbors actually asked me to park his his vehicle there.
So we've never had any uh issue for this. This is all news to me. >> Okay. And then um I we have a couple of other properties there in the north side that we have fully uh remodeled. And so that's it. That's all I want to say.
>> Okay. All right. Thank you. At this time, we'll close the public portion hearing and open it up for a motion. >> Move that the structure be declared substandard and hazardous. >> Second. >> Second by Miss Doy. Ready for a vote. >> This is This is a motion to declare the primary structure substandard and
hazardous. Mr. Castles. >> I. Miss Lane. >> Hi, >> Mr. Leiden. >> Hi, >> Mr. Black. >> Yes. >> Miss Doy, >> hi. >> Mr. Hores, >> hi. >> Mr. Lou, >> hi. >> Miss Thompson, >> hi. >> Motion carries 8 Z. >> I move that the owner be ordered to repair demolish the structure within 45
days. And if the owner fails to repair demolish the structure within 45 days, city staff be authorized to enter the property and cause the demolition of said structure and lean all costs associated with the demolition against the property. >> Second. >> Second, Miss Doy. any discussion?
>> Um, I chose 45 days just we need to see something happen here. I think that's more than enough time. There's even some things he could probably do uh prior to getting permits to get it get it looking a little bit better than what it looks right now. So, we'll see what happens. >> Yeah, I agree. The this time since there's no real plan, he's still waiting
on reports. Once he gets that, come back for an amendment with the work plan with time of knowing what's going on. So, anything else? No, I agree with the the sentiments of 45 days and um coming back for the appeal for more time is not a
guarantee and so the commission I think if we saw the progress and things like that, who knows what the future holds, but I think that that's ample time and respecting the community not having to wait 90 days. >> All right, ready for a vote. >> This is a motion to repair or demolish the primary structure within 45 days.
Mr. Castle, >> I. >> Miss Lane, >> I. >> Mr. Leiden, >> I. >> Mr. Black, >> yes. Miss Dotty. >> Hi. >> Mr. Horz. >> Hi. >> Mr. Lou. >> I >> Miss Thompson. >> Hi. >> Motion carries 8 Z. This commission has declared the structure to be substandard
and hazardous and given 45 days to repair demolish. Owner leanholder mortgage record have the right to request an amendment within 45 days of the date of this order. Owner leanholder mortgage record have the right to file an appeal to the Tarant County District Court within 30 days from the date the city mills a copy of our order.
Commission also gives notice that failure on the part of the owner to comply with today's order may result in the scheduling and conducting of a civil penalty hearing to determine the amount of penalty to be paid. Thank you for coming in today. Um, next case. Next case, new case residential HS 2648
2009 Clinton Avenue primary structure aka lot 5 in the north 10 ft of lot 4, block 142, North Fort Worth addition to the city of Fort Worth, Taran County, Texas. according to the plat thereof recorded in volume 63 page 149 deed
records Taran County Texas owner is Eesi Properties LLC and there are no lean holders and again we have appearance forms from Eduardo Garcia and Stephanie Martinez >> go ahead city calls officer Marissa Rodriguez to present the case
>> hello my name is Marissa Rodriguez and I will be presenting evidence on the property located at 2009 Clinton Avenue. This case originated on June the 18th of 2025 by uh myself, Officer Rodriguez. Notices were posted on June the 18th,
2025, July 20th, 2025, and February the 17th of 2026. Um there are current no active permits, but they have been applied for. Um the property is vacant and secured. An administrative search warrant was executed on March the 6th of 2026.
Notice to appear at today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on March the 4th of 2026. The primary structure is currently in substandard and hazardous condition due to several breaches in the roof with sections partially collapsed suggesting long-term expos exposure to the
moisture. Sighting has several breaches and cracks to the interior. The fascia and sopet are deteriorated with several breaches throughout the exterior. The foundation is shifting causing separation gaps. Um the floor is deteriorated and subflooring is visible
with large breaches exposing the pyramid foundation making it unsafe to walk on. Windows are broken with glass shards remaining. The electrical system is compromised due to exposure of the elements. The plumbing system is also compromised due to exposure of the
elements and the existing conditions to the structure are allowing harbridge for pests and vectors um including vultures that were seen coming out of this hole in the roof. There are other conditions that contribute to the structures being in violation of minimum building standards
and they can be found in the included structure inspection report. Again, there are several businesses, city parks, schools, and the property is located within a mile of the historic stockyards. Staff recommends that the building standards commission declare the structure to be substandard and
hazardous and that the owner be given 30 days to repair or demolish said structure. If the owner does not comply with said order, authorize city staff to enter onto the property and cause the demolition of said structure and lean all costs associated with the demolition
against the property. And this concludes my testimony. >> Thank you. Any questions for commissioner for the officer? >> Mr. Garcia, >> I would just like to add >> Sorry, if you'll state your name and city residence for this case. >> Gotcha. Eduardo Garcia, Fort Worth,
Texas. and then anything uh said on the last case wouldn't be. So, whatever you want us to know on this case, put back on the record. >> Okay. >> I have um I have paperwork here. Uh I have a contract with EMJ Engineers and Associates. Their timeline is 3 weeks
for uh the construction documents. Um that's to the scope of work is for 2007 and 2009 Clinton for um architectural design, structural design, mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, uh code and permit sheets, city and submission revisions. Um I have had a I have paperwork. I have two estimates from two different uh roofing companies
to repair the roof. Uh but again, we've pretty much put that on hold because of um uh because we've decided to do the full structural uh redesign and architectural redesign. The I had some permits that
have not gone through which Officer Rodriguez mentioned. And the the reason is that I uh I have let my um contractor license lapse. So that's why the permits were
not uh approved. Um the let me see here. So I have all of these documents here if if you need to see any of them. um the contracts and as well as invoices for
removal of I've contracted a uh pest control service. I have invoices for the removal of several pests over the last two weeks. Um I have been in contact with uh the
neighbors. I am um my neighbor to the left at 2011 Clinton has um he and I have spoken several times. He has asked me for permission to park his uh vehicle in front of the car. You'll see
it in the pictures there. It's his red truck. Um let me see. >> How long have you owned this this property? >> I've owned these properties about two and a half years. What was the condition when you bought them? Same. >> Pretty much the same except everything
was uh the broken windows were exposed. I had everything covered up uh put in new locks and uh >> has anyone come has are you waiting to see if these are repairable or anything? >> Yes, that's that's the that's what the the uh structural engineer the
architectural engineer went out out went out there last week and I'm just waiting on their report. So he could say it's not worth repairing that it needs to come down. Okay. >> Correct. >> And you talked about remodeling. Are you planning on tearing it down and remodeling that way or? >> Well, we're either going to take it down
to the studs or we're just going to tear it down and rebuild it. It's going to depend on what the engineers tell me. >> Okay. And how long how long are you asking for? >> Uh I'm asking for the full 90 days. >> Okay. Um and then I forgot to ask, did you have any questions of the code
officer before? I think he asked why it took so long and again uh I'm the primary caretaker of my parents 80 and 85. My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's which they gave us they told us it would take about 15 years. Um it
was misdiagnosed. He was g gotten PSP which is a uh poly supernuclear paly which is a very aggressive form. Uh so he went down really fast and in this last year um so he passed away on
January uh 28th. Um we initially went into the projects together because we had worked on uh several houses. Uh my dad used to own several houses and we had worked on several houses together.
Um the my brother is a um 30-year um uh he just retired from 30 years of service for the Fort Worth ISD. He retired to help me take care of my father. So he has uh agreed to help me
with these properties since he's fully available now. So this is uh it these will have our full attention and like I said I have here any paperwork you want to see any of the invoices or contracts or agreements. >> Well I think we don't know though if it
can be done yet. You're still waiting on the engineering report. Correct. >> Yes. Correct. >> Okay. >> Correct. >> And so how long if they come back and say that it can't be rebuilt, it needs to be torn down. How long would it take you to get the process going to get it them torn down? Well, the engineering
project uh includes architectural design. So, at that point, we'll just switch over to a uh >> How soon after you get that report would you be willing to to demolish it if it needed to be? >> Oh, as soon as possible. It's I I have
the funds to do so and I will take care of it. Like I said, this will get our full attention for these uh both of mine and my brother. >> That that alludes to the question I was going to have. I know you said you had Oh, I'm sorry. >> Sorry.
>> It's like I'm the Wizard of Oz. It's just a voice in the room. >> Yeah. >> Um I know you said you had other properties and things too, but I just wanted to hear and confirm your commitment that these properties or this property, sorry, we're talking about the 09 will have your full attention and commitment.
>> You have wise and financially. >> Yes, you have my full attention. my full time will be devoted to this as well as my finances. I mean we have we have money set aside for these projects. We just had not been able to get uh you
know I had not had the time to devote to them. >> Yeah. I can't compel you to do anything but I would say that in good faith of the community that would probably be said to the folks sitting in the back and around your community. >> Yeah. I I I wish I would have brought
pictures of our other properties so you can see we've actually uh I feel like we've done a lot to uh beautify the north side of Fort Worth, which is where I grew up and why I've taken an interest on properties in this area as opposed to
new investors coming in. >> Thank you. >> City have any questions? Is there any current efforts for remediation in between before you receive the reports back from engineers? >> Is there what is there any efforts for remediation of the property before the
engineer reports were turned to you? >> Uh I mean just like what I've said, we've we've cleaned the properties. We've uh we've cleaned up the uh the trees and the removal of certain trees which they said were leading to pests in
the house. Um I don't uh I mean we we can do whatever you need us to do. I'm I'm willing to do whatever you need me to. >> No further questions. >> Um Miss Martinez,
>> I have a question before he sits down. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. Go ahead. >> Can I ask you when you entered into the contract with the engineer and when were your estimates done for the roof repairs? The everything was done over the last month. The contract was entered
in uh just recently because I was out of town. Um I was out of town until until Saturday night. >> You have a date? >> I'm sorry. >> A date for when you signed the contract with the engineer. >> The official docu sign went through on
the yesterday on the 22nd. And the roofing estimates, >> those were as well after after speaking with Officer Rodriguez. I can give you the dates here. Give me just a second
here. So, the the trees were cleaned up. The tree service went on the 13th. The initial removal was on the 10th of 1, 10th, 11th, 15th, and 19th
>> of March. >> Of March. Yes. And let me see here. The roofing estimates. I'm sorry. One of them was dated March 17th and one of them was might dated
>> March 12th. >> Thank you. >> So all this month? >> Yes. Okay. Thank you. All right. Miss uh Martinez. State your name and city residence for the record. Yes. >> Stephanie Martinez, Fort Worth, Texas.
>> All right. And what would you like us to know about this property? >> Um, regarding this property, again, I do have family that live on both sides of this uh these two properties. Um, this specific location from the beginning of time that I know of has never been occupied and it has sat in a condition
similar to this since for over 40 years that I know of. Um, it's going to take a lot to get these repaired, if they can even be repaired. But I will substantiate that yes, there has been rodent or pest control there
recently. um trees have been trimmed recently, but again, it only started when the notice of this hearing um got posted on the structure. So, um I know in the last testimony you had said you
attended all saints. I as well did. I believe you may have been in the same class as my brother. Um but I say all that to be or to be clear that this is nothing personal. Um, this is just for the safety of the community and specifically the neighbors on either
side. I'd also agree I have parked in this driveway or in the neighboring driveway when nobody is there for decades. It it helps because the the street is very busy. Um but again this structure is half a block from the park,
a block away from an elementary and middle school and church and there is um quite a bit of pedestrian traffic on this street. Um I would like to see something happen soon. Um and if it's the decision that it needs to come down, I'd rather not wait 90 days for that
decision. Um and I will also say that is my uncle's truck that is in the driveway. So, um, I think that's that's all I have. And just for clarification on my research, it looks like the deed transferred to Mr. Garcia in March of
21, so right at five years. >> Thank you. All right. Any questions from or the city ready to close? >> City's right. City has no further questions as ready. >> Okay. Thank you. Due to the timeline and concern of how
long-standing these property violations are occurring and the fact that no remediations efforts have begun until notice of this hearing and a warrant was issued to search the property, the city requests that the structure be declared substandard and hazardous. The city further requests that the owner be
ordered to repair to order to repair or demolish the structure within 30 days. and if the owner fails to repair or demolish the structure within 30 days, that city staff be authorized to enter onto the property and cause the demolition of set structure and lean all costs associated with the demolition
against the property. Thank you. >> Mr. Garcia, you heard the city asked for 30 and I think you said 90. Anything else you care to add? >> Sorry, we can hear you. Thank you. As far as the uh what she mentioned about
squatters, there were never any squatters that I was aware of. I mean, we were uh we've I mean, I go by there several times because I like I said, I own other properties there in the north side and um
yeah, that is news to me and I don't know if it wasn't me who would have gotten them out. I don't know who would have. So, >> all right. Thank you. At this time, we'll close public portion of the hearing and open it up for a motion. >> I move that the structures be declared
substandard and hazardous. >> Second, >> M. Thompson. All right. Uh, ready for a vote. >> This is a motion to declare the primary structure substandard and hazardous. Mr. Castles. >> I. >> Miss Lane. >> Yes. >> Mr. Leiden. >> I. >> Mr. Black.
>> Yes. >> Miss Doy. >> I. >> Mr. Horris. >> Hi. Mr. Lou. >> I. >> Miss. Thompson. >> I. >> Motion carries. 8 Z. >> I move that the owner be ordered to repair or demolish the structure within 45 days. And if the owner fails to repair or demolish the structure within
45 days, that city staff be authorized to enter onto the property and cause demolition of said structures and lean all costs associated with the demolition against the property. >> Second. >> Same by Miss Thompson. Any discussion on this case? >> All right. Ready for a vote.
>> This is a motion to repair or demolish the primary structure within 45 days. Mr. Castles. >> I. >> Miss Lane. >> I. >> Mr. Leiden. >> I. >> Mr. Black. >> Yes. >> Miss Doy. >> Hi. >> Mr. Huarez. >> Hi. >> Mr. Lu. >> I. >> Miss Thompson. >> I.
>> Motion carries 800. Uh, this commission has declared the structure to be substandard and hazardous and given 40 owner 45 days to repair or demolish the structure. Owner leanholder mortgage year of record have the right to request an amendment within 45 days from the date of this order. Owner leanholder
mortgage year record have the right to file an appeal to the Tarant County District Court within 30 days of the date the city mills a copy of our order. Commission also gives notice that failure on the part of the owner to comply with today's order may result in the scheduling and conducting of a civil penalty hearing to determine the amount of penalty to be paid. Thank you for
coming today on these cases. Next case. Next case is administrative civil penalty case residential continued ACP 2631 2217 Ross Avenue nuisance abatement aka lots 8 and nine in block 161 of north
north Fort Worth an addition to the city of Fort Worth Taran County Texas according to plat recorded in book 63 page 149 deed records of Tarant Tarant County Texas owners Francisco El Delgado and Dominga Garcia Delgado
There are no lean holders and we have an appearance form from Richard Delgado. Is the city ready? City is ready. City calls officer Juan Gonzalez to present the case. >> Hello commissioners. My name is Juan
Gonzalez. I am a code enforcement officer for the city of Fort Worth nuisance abainment section. I will be giving testimony in reference to administrative civil case ACP-26-31
at the address of 2217 Ross Avenue. This violation was identified on April 18th, 2024. This violation was citizen initiated. There have been several notices mailed
certified and regular to the owner and handd delivered to the property. Despite the city's efforts, the property remains in violation. There have been 35 inspections by
multiple officers since the inception of this case. Two citations were issued prior to the case being sent to nuisance abatement. An administrative search warrant was not needed to enter the property.
There have been 13 contacts with multiple additional attempts to contact the owner, family, or tenant/occupants. The nuisance abatement order was posted
at the property on December 29th, 2025 and expired on January 8th, 2026. A notice to appear for today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on
March 4th, 2026. The last inspection was performed on March 19th, 2026. The staff recommendation is to assess a civil penalty of $0.0 and also order the owner to remove the
items as outlined in ordinance 11-26 A 27 and 8 within 30 days from the effective date of the order. If the owner does not remove all of the
ordered items within 30 day within that 30-day period, authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of said items and lean all cost associated with the
removal against the property. The reason for the amount of the civil penalty requested is the fact that the owners are deceased. No measurable progress has been made since the nuisance abainment order
was posted on the property on December 29th, 2025. The property contains a health hazard of items that can harbor vectors. This address has not had active act active trash service since August 6,
2025. This property was continued from the February 23rd hearing. The penalty recommendation is calculated using the date from the February 23rd hearing. >> This is the end of my testimony.
>> Thank you. Who have you been working with when you go? Is it I see some people somebody in the picture. Is that the tenant that's there walking around? >> The from my understanding the occupants. >> Okay. any but no contact with any owners or
anybody? >> I've attempted to make contact but haven't got a response. >> Any other questions? Commissioners, >> good morning, Mr. Delgato. Uh if you could state your name and city of residence.
My name is Richard Delgado and I live at 1 1901 Oats Road and that's in Bridgeport, Texas. >> Thank you. What uh what is your relation to this property? Um >> just to clarify for the commission, Mr.
Delgado will need to be sworn in. >> Okay. I need to go ahead and swear him in first. Sorry. Um, do you solemnly swear or affirm the testimony you give today will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
>> I do. >> Right. Um, what is um your relation to this property? So, the home was owned by my parents who have since passed away. I am not living in the house.
I have been warning my family members that the house needs to be sold. I am actually looking forward to some of the proceeds from selling the house, but I don't have anything to do with the home. I want the home to be sold. I have tried
to sign off on it being sold because I am concerned about all the problems with the property. Um, but I've not gotten a response from my siblings. >> Okay. Do you have any plans of cleaning
the property? >> That's actually my brother's responsibility. I have two brothers. Um, particularly Adam Delgado is the one living in the home and I believe he has friends living in the home. So, they would be the ones
responsible for cleaning it. When my mother was still alive, I was told that my brother would be the one to be responsible as he was the one living in the home for paying taxes and keeping
care taking care of the property. Um, that's what my mother told me and that's all I know. >> So, just to clarify, he has no plans to do anything with this house. >> No, that's correct. >> Okay. Does the city have any questions?
>> Yes. I prefer that the house be sold uh that they relieve our family of any responsibility for the home. And that's what I have said to my brother a number of times. Uh there's been a lot of infighting in the family over it.
>> Thank you. >> Mr. Mckenry, does the city have any questions? >> No questions. >> Are you ready to close? >> City's ready to close. City requests that the commission assess a civil penalty of $0 per day for 44
days totaling 0. and also order the owner to remove the items as outlined in ordinance 11A-26 A 1 2 7 and 8 within 30 days. If the
owner fails to comply with set order, authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of set items and lean all costs associated with the removal with against the property. All right, Mr. Delgado, the city is
asked for 30 days uh to get this cleaned up or they can go in and clean it up and charge back to the the property. Is there anything you care to ask the commission for differently? Again, while I am here, I have no responsibility for the property. My
brother is the one living in the property. Therefore, the responsibility should rest on him. Um, I don't live there. I live in Bridgeport, as I told you. Um, and since my brother's the one living there, I feel like he is the one
responsible, and I have tried to reach him. It's my understanding that you all have tried to reach him to no avail. Um, I just would insist that you continue to try to reach out to him to get this resolved. Uh
again, I know that there have been uh notices posted on the home. I'm not sure why I was asked to come. Um I see that my brother has not bothered to show up and I'm the only one here, which isn't right. I want to show respect for the
request that I appear, but again, I am ready to just get rid of the house. >> Well, thank you for taking time to come in today. Um, at this time we'll close the public portion of the hearing and open it up for a motion.
>> I move that we issue a civil penalty to the owner of the amount of zero dollars per per day for 44 days for the total amount of 44 I for a total amount of $0. >> Second. >> Second by Miss Thompson. Ready for a vote. This is a motion to issue a civil
penalty in the amount of $0 for 44 days for a total of 0.0 Zero dollars. Mr. Castles. >> I >> Miss Lane. >> I >> Mr. Leiden. >> Hi. >> Mr. Black. >> Yes. >> Miss Doy. >> Hi. >> Mr. Hores. >> I. >> Mr. Lou. >> I. >> Miss. Thompson. >> I.
>> Motion carries. 8 Z. >> Thompson. Or sorry, Mr. Wares. I move that the owner be ordered to evade a nuisance within 30 days. If the owner does not comply, authorize city staff to enter into the property and evade the nuisance and the lean the cost

hodge addition to the city of Fort Worth, Tarant County, Texas. According to the Plat and dedication recorded in volume 204, page 64, Plat records, Tarant County, Texas. Save and accept the East 8t thereof here to for conveyed to the city of Fort Worth. Owner is
Pedro Alcantara. There are no lean holders and we have appearance forms from Pedro Alcantara, uh, Germaine Pikman. And that's it.
>> All right. Go ahead, Mr. McHenry. >> One moment while we get the PowerPoint up. Okay. Y'all want to have a seat? We'll call you in a second. City calls officer Franklin Young to present the case. >> Morning again, commissioners. I'm here
to present evidence for 2510 Hempfield Street. The case was originated on February 3rd, 2026 by Senior Officer Manuel Ramirez. Notices were sent out on February 3rd, 2026. There are no active permits on file. The structure is vacant and
secured by the owner. Inspection was conducted on March 3rd, 2026 with a contractor present. Notice to appear at today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on March 4th, 2026. The structure is currently in a substandard and hazardous condition due
to the roof system is partially collapsed toward the rear portion of the structure. The rear brick masonry wall is structurally compromised due to inadequate structural support. The wall has vis visibly shifted and is leaning
outward. Multiple vertical cracks extend from the top of the wall down to the base indicating progressive structural distress. Numerous openings were observed throughout the exterior of the structure, including holes leading
directly into the interior. Several windows are missing, allowing exposure to the elements and vectors. Exposed wood framing components are significantly deteriorating. The weathered condition suggests long-term exposure to moisture and environmental
elements, reducing the structural capacity of these members. The garage bay door is extensively damaged and is not properly affixed to its framing. There are conditions that there are other conditions that contribute to the structure being in violation of minimum
building standards ordinance and they can be found on the included structure inspection report. I've made I've met and made contact with the owner and the contractor. They informed me that they were going to rebuild the structure but did not give a time frame. There is one city park, a
community center, one public school, three churches, and JPS within a mile of this location. Staff recommends that the building standards commission declare the structure to be substandard and hazardous. That the owner be given 30 days to repair or demolish the structure. If the owner does not comply
with said order, authorize city staff to enter onto the property and cause the demolition of said structure and lay all costs associated with the demolition against the property. This concludes my testimony. >> Thank you. Any questions from commissioners?
Mr. Alan, I'm sorry. How? Mr. Pedro, what was your last name? If you want to come up. >> Sorry. How do you say the last name? >> Alcantara. >> Thank you. If you'll state your name and city of residence.

Actually, we are agreed that we need to >> So, what uh what would you like the commission to know your plans with the project? >> Uh we are asking for three months to start. We already start working with the
engineer you know for the planning and we our our our proposes is to rescue the the the historical it's not declared historical but we're going to want to keep it like that. >> So your your plan is to rebuild it. >> Yes.
>> And you and you can get it done in 90 days. >> Uh not not in 90 days but at least start working on it and secure the the building. >> Okay. because because today the commission, you know, it's being brought forth as uh substandard and hazardous.
So, we're the commission gives gives you time to make it no longer substandard and hazardous. So, this would be your opportunity to ask for the time needed to do that, not just to get it cleaned up. >> Uh I think it's my my contractor could could answer that.
>> Okay. If if he wants to come up, >> you'll state your name and city of residence. Beckham Berles. >> All right. What would uh So, what's the plan with the property? >> We're going to rebuild it, but I'm asking for a year a year's time. >> Okay.

>> Okay. Yeah. Um we got the engineer report coming and architectural design right now. So, when we get that in, I'm going put in for the permits and we're going to start going with that. But 90 days will be a blessing. We'll come back and show you the progress that we are
doing to the building and then you know hopefully get more time but 90 days I'm not going to be able to get the building completely done in 90 days. >> Okay. >> Um for uh I got a question from Mr. uh the owner. What uh do you have the funding in place or did >> Yes, >> you have the funding. Okay. And what's
the plan you said to re to to get it back the way it was? >> Yes. >> Actually, I don't have any plan to do business there. At least I want to make my studio there. Okay. The city have any questions. >> You mentioned that you're trying to to
preserve the historical look to the property, but it's not zoned or registered as a historical property, is it? >> No, it's not historical. >> And >> I don't think honestly I don't know if historical, but I don't think it's historical. >> Have there been any efforts since the fire to remediate the prop the property
to clean up the property? Yes. Yes. Yes. We are we have we have been dealing with with the this social problem of homeless and uh many times they have broken and we you know we clean and we know we are we have been calling the the police
department to to help us to do it. But yeah we have been cleaning you know all this all this time since I own the property. I have been cleaning and cleaning and you know preparing for this Could you speak into the microphone?

So it looks like, you know, they slapped it up there, but that's how they were. That's how the big deal. >> Is the city ready to close?
>> City's ready to close. City requests the structure be declared substandard and hazardous. City further requests that the owner be ordered to repair or demolish the structure within 30 days. And if the owner repairs if the owner fails to repair or demolish the structure within 30 days that city staff
be authorized to enter onto the property and cause the demolition of said structure and lean all costs associated with with the demolition against the property. Thank you. >> Right.

at the address of 1418 Homeman Avenue. This violation was identified on April 18th, 2025. This violation was citizen initiated. There have been several notices mailed, certified, and regular to the owner and hand delivered to the property. Despite the city's efforts,
the property remains in violation. There have been 20 inspections by multiple officers since the inception of this case. One citation was issued prior to the case being sent to nuisance of payment. An administrative search warrant was not needed to enter the property. There have been seven contacts
with multiple additional attempts to contact the owner, family, or tenants/ occupants. The nuisance amendment order was posted at the property on January 29th, 2026, and it expired on February 8th, 2026. A notice to appear for today's hearing was mailed and posted on
the property on March 4th, 2026. The last inspection was performed on March 19th, 2026. The staff recommendation is to assess a civil penalty of $4,100 and also order the owner to remove the items as outlined in ordinance 11A-26A
1 27 and 8 within 30 days from the effective date of the order. If the owner does not remove all of the ordered items within the 30-day period, authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of set items and lean all costs associated with the removal against the property.
The reason for the amount of the civil penalty request is the fact that no measurable progress has been made since the nuisance abatement order was posted on the property on January 29th, 2026. The property contains a health hazard of items that can harbor vectors. This address has not had active trash service
since May 12th, 2025. This is the end of my testimony. >> Thank you. And looking at the pictures, some some areas look better the second time and some look worse. Is stuff just getting moved around or is new stuff coming up? Uh, it is my understanding that some of this stuff was moved around.

to explain to him but one problem I had in that area is I don't know in the last year there's probably been I don't know how many employee changeovers you've had with code enforcements but it's been quite a few because I've had one person come out and say one thing another person come out and say something else
and then that person no longer works there. So that's one problem that I've had over the last year and the other one is that I lost a vehicle about 10 months ago. my truck uh engine uh finally went out of it and I haven't had a vehicle replacement yet. So, I'm limited to
using my girlfriend's van occasionally. She works full-time. I just retired last year. So, I'm one year into my retirement. So, not having a vehicle has been a major stress on me. And matter of fact, the yard wouldn't look like that if my
pickup truck was running. But anyway, regardless, I've got a 12 x 12 building in the corner of the property there that I already put a brand new roof on that I'm going to completely resite it. And uh I've got some uh you know, 2x4s,
plywood, paint, all the building material. And I have concrete, too. All that stuff. I'm going to move to my patio area. I'm going to get all the trash out of there. >> How long do you need to get that? I mean, I'd like 60 days because again, if
I had my if I had my vehicle, see, normally I go to the recycle center. I just pull that trailer and take stuff to the recycle center, get rid of it. But over the last 10 months or better, things have gotten out of control on me because of not having a vehicle mainly. >> Okay.
>> But, u 60 days, >> 60 days, great. >> Okay. >> And I'm using bulk trash right now for most of the trash because most of the really big stuff I've already gotten out of there. The rest of it will be building materials and I'll put them all in a one uh you know continuous row,
okay? >> You know, like lumber, metal studs, paint, and then the rest of the trash will all be gone. >> And the city's also asking for a civil penalty, which you heard the other gentleman on once it's back 100 or
clean, you can come back for us to ask that to be >> I'm going to need that because like I said, I retired a year ago and I'm on a very limited uh income right now. >> Okay. And without a vehicle, that's even hindered that situation worse. >> Any questions from the city?
>> No questions. >> Any commissioner have any questions for him? >> You ready to close? City requests that the commission assess a civil penalty in the amount of $100 per day for 41 days totaling $4,100 and also order the owner to remove the
items as outlined in ordinance 11A-26A127 and 8 within 30 days. If the owner fails to comply with set order, authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of set items and lean all costs associated with the removal against the property. Thank you.
All right. So, you heard the city's asked for 30. I think you said 60. Uh, anything else? >> No, 60 days would be great. I'll have it. >> Okay. >> And like I said, the front's 100%. I've got my uh normally like if I'm doing some small jobs or whatever, you know,
my trailer stays in the driveway, but I haven't had my truck, so it's I have to apologize. It's been sitting in the driveway. Uh, it's a utility trailer and none of the neighbors usually have a problem with that, but it's been there for 10 months or more, so it accumulated some trash on it, which was not good.
>> Thank you for the work you've done on the front. Appreciate. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Um, any uh at this time, we'll go ahead and close the public portion and open it up for a motion. Mr. Leiden, >> I move that the owner be ordered to abate the nuisance within 60 days and if

days. And that took me to December and I requested an amendment and I was going to have that heard in January. Well, you know what happened in January? We had a big ice storm. So that threw everything off. Um
so it was rescheduled to be heard in February and I had travel plans and I requested a continuence. So that's why we're here today. uh in this time um
we have the first thing was to evict the tenant. There was one in the house and one in an RV in the driveway. So it took over two months to get that done and the house was packed with all of his
belongings. Uh and I mean packed motorcycles, tools, you name it. I mean it was packed. So, we were able to get him out, both of the tenants, the RV removed, and
moved got a storage unit and moved all of his possessions from the house into storage. So, as I said, that that took over two months, but that didn't put us at a standstill. As soon as we were able
to get on the property, the trees were trimmed. You couldn't even see the house from the street. We trimmed the trees back, got rid of the bushes, the trash, got a big dumpster out there, and started getting rid of stuff. So, we didn't have any downtime. We were
determined to get this moving. This house has been in my family almost a hundred years. Uh my family uh took bought that house in 1932 and uh it's been in the family all this
time. time my nephew had it and then as the lean holder he signed it over to me in lie of foreclosure and uh I had no idea how bad a shape it was in but as I said we were determined to bring this house back um once we got everything
removed which took a lot of our 90 days um we were able to get in there and see what needed to be done we took we got bids and what all everybody was saying was well you got to get the foundation done. Okay. I don't have much time left,
I got a contractor and uh a month and a half later and about $20,000 spent on that foundation and I got the foundation done and I have uh turned in the engineers report stating that it is good
and safe at this point. And after that, we've had our weather. You know that. Um, we removed all of the the floor joist. And I hope I'm saying everything right. My son is here, Chris Wright, is my general contractor. And so, he may be
able to explain some of this better, but all of the floor joists that were I mean, house is over a hundred years old. Um, a lot of those had to be removed and we replaced those. And that is this is
homework. This is a trailer going to Home Depot, getting the materials and and bringing it back and and hiring people to help. Contractors are expensive. So, in this time, we haven't been sitting still. Uh we've been able
to replace all of these floor joist with treated 2 by sixes, and I have to say, they have been very well done. Uh my son's a little particular. Everything has to be just right. Um so that's been
done. It's ready for and actually he's already put down uh part of the subfloor. So also during this time period, he put up temporary walls to support the ceiling joist. Those were 2x4s. He's
replaced those with 2 by six's to give the extra strength to help support the roof because the really the major part is the roof had collapsed at a certain point and that you could see from the street especially
once he had trimmed everything back. So, we've been making progress continually. You know, even the weather permitting, when we got the ice storm, we got a busted pipe which wet underneath the house, which wasn't good for the foundation. We've got we've been put on
hold until the end of this month so that we could let the house settle for the foundation. And that's instructions from the foundation company. It's got to settle before they can do the reshim to make sure everything is secure. So when we do
siding, when we do any other build, including the roofing, can't be done until the house has settled and we've got the reshim so that everything is going to be on a good sturdy foundation. So in in this period of time uh as of
today or last night uh the foundation the subfloor the ceiling joist uh all of these have been done now from the outside you can't really see that
much and uh Agent Young had come out to do his inspection and uh take some pictures and when he came in, it was after the big rain, so we've got rain dripping in, you know, where the where the roof is, but we had buckets and
stuff, so we were working with it and the floor was out. We hadn't put the subfloor in yet. So, you know, he saw it at a bad time, but you know what, Agent Young, please come back and and I've I've given him my contact information
and I'll update him every week. I'll do whatever needs to be done. I'm determined to make this work. And as I said, even with the scheduling problems of contractors and they get real excited whenever I say
I'm under a time crunch because the city has given me a deadline. Well, you know, you want something in a hurry. It's going to cost more and I'm trying every way I can to negotiate. We'll get the materials. you do the labor and that way
we're I'm getting a veteran discount at Home Depot. Uh my son's a Marine veteran. I'm a Navy veteran and one of our workers is also a Marine veteran. So, you know, we're doing what we can. I'm not independently wealthy. I've used
35,000 of my savings so far and I expect to need to use another 35 or more, probably more. But we're doing what we can even with the restrictions that we have with these contractors and their scheduling. And um
>> so how how long are you needing? Are you asking us for today? >> I'm asking for six uh for 180 days. And >> do you have a detailed work plan to spell that out? >> I have a a formal request for extension. I I hired a designer. He's made a layout
and he's got his recommendation on here. So I wanted to let y'all see that. because I think it we mentioned last time we 90 is the most we can give unless there's a detailed work plan. So we'll see if this >> and and I think the reason for me to
explain all this is to let you know we are making good progress. This is not a drag your feet kind of thing. This is I want to get this done as quick as I can. Um, I'm using my savings for this and if need be, I've
got a a a veteran. I haven't used my GI bill yet for property. Um, but I'm I'm committed to do that. As I said, this house has been in the family for a long time. Um, what I was and I got my script ready,
but I didn't uh didn't follow it very well. Okay. Is there another page? >> I want to make sure and explain everything. The uh the work that's been done, it's been done with good materials
with uh skilled labor and I myself I'm 71 but I'm I'm not completely unable to do things. used to help my dad with his rent houses. So, I go and I'm there on the property to uh help out any way I
can. If it's, you know, handing materials, tools, I know tools. I was an aviation electronics technician in the Navy, so I can be useful. I can be helpful. Uh, but I want y'all to know this is new to me, but I want you to
take my dedication to this and my show of progress as my credibility that we can do we can accomplish as much as possible and we'll we'll do everything we can. I I if it's
to make it look good from the outside, well, you know what? As soon as the foundation people say it's good to go, we'll put siding up and it'll look pretty. You know, the inside's going to still need the sheetrock and the, you know,
the the mud and the the paint and all that. Um, we will exceed the code compliance issues. We will make this a home, not just a
house. the um the engineers report that uh we got after the foundation work was done. Um there were a lot of pictures and and I wish we could show those because um Agent Young when he took
pictures you walk into the house you see new wood everywhere. It's uh the plan that uh our designer did shows the layout of the house and we have we've pretty much gutted it and replaced all
of the wood the loadbearing wall and there's still more to be done. Uh of course back when they made those houses they weren't 16 inches on center. So, um, they even had, I know you guys have seen everything in the foundation a pier
and beam. The peers were actually pieces of tree trunks. Like they took a big log and sliced it up and they used those to be the peers for the foundation. >> It's all brick and pad now. So, it's a
huge improvement. And um he's also got the uh the roofing estimate. And uh and here's another area where if I say, "Okay, get me a roof." And they say, "Okay, we'll schedule you in, you know,
and it's going to be costly." And I'm saying, "You know what? Work with me. If you can get your guys out here and do part of it, you know, you have a couple of days in your schedule. I'm good with that." So, I'm trying to work these things out so that it doesn't cost me a
fortune. But, >> so I still we still haven't seen the work plan. Do you have that that shows the dates to justify 180 days? Why >> I've I've got I wrote this up uh to show what it is we're we're planning
on because as I said in this time period the uh we were getting bids and that's a timely process. As I said it took about a month and a half to get the foundation work done. um they scheduled for four days and so
that was from December to uh the end of January. So these things take a lot of time, but I'm trying to work with these people and and uh so the plan is for the as soon as we get the reshim
the windows, the siding, the interior. Um that's what we're looking at. >> Right. So with what what you've provided, we don't have a detailed work plan. So 90 days is the most we're going to be able to give. Um we have to have a detailed work plan that shows why you
need the 180 days. Like you're going to do like in between now and 30 days you're going to do this. >> And see I put on here that >> in April. >> Yeah. That's but >> right. >> Oh, sorry. We I'm sorry. You got to get
sorry microphone. If you could we haven't heard from you. if you'll state your name and city. >> My name is Chris Ry. I'm a resident of Fort Worth, Texas. >> Right. So, go ahead. >> Uh, our first hearing, we I had the de just as what you're describing a um >> I would call a detailed work plan, but it was handwritten
>> and there was some debate in this body about whether or not that qualified as a detailed work plan. I believe the uh attorney for the city read out the statute and there was some discussion about it and the conclusion of that discussion was well there's an amendment
process and we can come back and ask for more. >> So do you have that today? >> Yes, it's pretty this one is her version. It's very similar to mine except that mine was I knew we were going to need 180 days when we asked for
it the first time and I suspected the amendment process was going to be an automatic for us because I had a suspicion that it was going to be a lot more than 180 days overall. >> But by by statute we only can give up to 90 days without a detailed work plan. So >> I understand I understand my my point is
just that we came in with a detailed plan or what we would argue was a detailed plan. So, do you dismissed and now she's gone out the $2,000 to pay for >> a design guy to do the drawings, which is what we walked out of here thinking
we needed to make it a detailed plan. So, that coupled with her with her estimates. I mean, this is her again, this is her. >> We don't know. But we need to know like is the roof going to take a week? Is it going to take three days? That that has to be a detailed work plan. >> That's exactly what I produced last
time. And that is we're we're here now with what's left >> to do is what we're saying from from here on to to justify that. >> There's no amount of money and there's no plan I I don't believe that would um that would get us the 180 days. I've been here for multiple hearings and this
seems to be like a default thing. We're just going to do 90 days and then you can come back for your >> We have we have a detailed contract. >> It may be. I just haven't seen it. >> Okay. Well, and I I have this is I'm new to this and what I am learning is that
working with contractors, uh even the roofing was pushed back because of all of the rain. They had to push back their other jobs. So, I got pushed back, too. That was completely out of my control. So, I can tell you
these guys have done a roof for me on my home, and it took them one day But I'm I'm I'm trying to negotiate with their schedules, maybe a smaller crew doing these things. I'm doing what I
can, what's within my control. But these guys, you know, telling me that they could do it, you know, this month, that's great. But now with all the rain we had, it's all pushed back, which includes me. And I don't know what to
tell you. I mean, you have heard this before, I'm sure. Other people that are trying to get work done on their houses. There's new houses going up in my neighborhood, and I've driven by, and it's been months, and they're not finished yet, and I don't know why. I
haven't gone to talk to them, but I'm sure they're coming into the same types of things. You know, the weather that we've had. I mean, I don't know what else, but I'm doing what I can. And that's why I said I would like you to take in
consideration the progress that we've made. >> And we do. We appreciate that. But what I'm saying without that plan, we cannot even consider more than 90 days is what I'm saying. But >> but this is a waste of your time and mine for me to come back and spend another day to stand up here and say I'm
not done yet. >> Well, this is the amendment's a one-time thing. So this >> I understand. So what happens? >> That's so we can hear from the city on on that. Do does the city have any questions? of the owner. >> No questions. >> Are you all going to present?
>> Officer Franklin Young is prepared to present, but at this time the city's not opposed to a 90-day continuance. >> Is not to post. >> Okay. >> Or amendment. 90day, >> right? Okay. >> If I can go further on that, at the time of the amendment request was from
December 12th. Um, at this if we granted a 90-day amendment from today, that would be just over actually 180 days granted, >> but the city at this time is unopposed to 90day continuous. >> Okay. Are you going to present? >> Okay. >> Well,
typically when we're unopposed, we do not present evidence on those. >> Okay. Is it I think somebody did you want to see or >> I was just curious if there were any pictures of what she's talking about. >> Okay. >> Are we going to let them >> officer city can call officer Franklin? >> Okay. Thank you.
>> City calls officer Franklin to present the case. >> Morning again commissioners. Um so the structure has been cleaned out and stripped down um to the framing with the foundation repaired. That's about the only thing that is done. Um, as you can
see on the pictures, there's really only difference is the inside has been stripped down. Did you have any pictures you wanted to present? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Can I ask a question?
>> Yeah, that's f. Yeah. Just want to ask a question. Agent Young, I know you're kind of new to this case. Um, if you've gone through the file, then you would see what the house looked like originally, and I saw some of the
pictures up there. Now, and I did see one of the pictures from the inside when it was just piled up with stuff. So, have you looked at the original pictures before you took the case? Yes, I was there when the original picture was
first taken. >> Okay, good. Good. And what you see now, and he's showing some of these. This has been since you came and the uh there were two temporary walls. One of those
has come down now because it's all been supported. the all the beams on the uh load bearing wall have been replaced and part of the flooring the subfloor has been installed. So, and that's just what in a little over a week we've been
able to accomplish that. So, I don't know how much progress people make on these other cases that y'all have, but it's pretty impressive. and and I'll give you updates every
week. You're gonna get tired of me. It's a shame whenever you walk in and people say, "Oh, hey, I know you." But I want to accomplish this. Uh sometimes things fall in your lap as this did for me. But
you know what? I think God puts us in the right place at the right time for a reason. And so I'm doing my best with it. >> Uh >> we appreciate the work. We we agree you've done a lot of work, but again with the amendment process, our hands are tight as 90 is the most we can give
and the city's even unopposed to the 90 days. >> So according to your structure, I have 90 days and you it to either demolish or bring it up to code. >> You work with that. That's all we can give, but you could work with the city
on that. >> So am I still on that? I'm I've put 35,000 into it. I've put uh 593 work hours into this. >> Again, I can see I can see the progress and we appreciate the progress, but I'm
not saying 90 days is all we can give on this commission. >> That doesn't buy me anything. >> I I I just thought I would get a little bit more understanding and cooperation >> and and and had you had a work plan we could consider. We can't consider, >> you know, I could have written you up
something and it wouldn't have been any good because in my experience so far >> foundation shouldn't take that long. It took over a month and a half, >> right? >> What qualifies as a work? >> You read what it
>> exactly? Can do we can the city produce an example? >> A sample. Yeah. >> Because a plan would be we're going to do this thing in this time period. >> So I that she's going to >> I'll go ahead and read what the
ordinance says as far as providing more than 90 days. So, the commission shall not allow the owner, lean holder, or mortgage ee more than 90 calendar days to repair, remove, or demolish the building or structure or fully perform
all work required to comply fully with the order of the commission unless the owner, leanholder, or mortgage one, submits a detailed plan and time schedule for the work at the hearing and
two establishes at the hearing that the work cannot reasonably be completed within 90 calendar days because of the scope and complexity of the work. Now there are no further definitions for detailed plan or time schedule. So you
would just follow you know >> a time >> regular def regular definitions and it would be up to the commission to uh determine if what has been presented is enough to satisfy detailed planner time work schedule to give more than 90 days. That was my understanding of the reading
of it as well. I looked it up. That's that's how I read it. I don't want to I don't I don't mean that it was written to be deliberately vague, but I believe it was written to be up to the interpretation of the members of the commission. So, a detailed plan I understand some people's idea of
detailed is going to be different from others. Um, in my mind, a detailed plan would be we're going to do a thing in a certain time frame and we're going to do it in this particular order. Now, she can't put a specific date in May because
we can't pin down and she can't put a specific date in June for and I'm trying to read it for windows and sighting. Um, she can't do that because we can't do windows and siding until other work has been done. Right now, we're trying to do
the roof. We can't do anything on the interior and call it permanent until the roof is done. And we can't tell you when the roof will be done because the the roofing guys cannot schedule us. They haven't scheduled us yet. And we couldn't tell them, hey, schedule us
right now, your soonest opening until we could safely support the roof, which I just I've been up all night working on it. And I just finished the ceiling joist. So they can I can call them today and say, hey guys, your soonest opening. Let's do the roof. But everything else is going to be up to when they schedule
us. So if she put down specific dates for say July or August or June, which she would she would just be pulling it pulling it out of, you know, she would just be making it up. She put she put those are her words. I wrote down weeks when I came in with my idea of a
detailed plan and that was insufficient. And so she went and hired the design guy to do the drawings because we thought that would make the difference when we had to come back was we knew we were going to have to come back for this request. and the and we have the drawings. She
she showed that that cost her $2,000. So, I don't know how much more detailed we can get except to just lie and say, "Oh, July 23rd through the, you know, through the >> 30th." That's that's what we need to know. You have June window sighting. Is it going to take Does that mean 30 days to do all the window and sighting?
>> That means if we're not doing windows and sighting by June, we're screwing up. That's that's that's what that means. >> But we need to know the time. How long is it going to take to do windows and sides? Does it take a week, two weeks? You can't just put the whole That's what we need to know. >> It looks to me like because she has it for June. It looks to me like it would take four weeks.
>> So, it's going to take four weeks to put in windows. >> And it looks well and the sighting. We're talking about the sighting for the whole house. And this is another question that I have for the city. I would really love to know what would what is going to get us off of this week. We shouldn't even be talking about demolishment. It shouldn't even be on
the table at this point. She's so far in over 50% of the repair process. >> That would be something you'd work with the city at that point that they see progress. that would be something you'd work with. Doesn't nec >> I'd like to think so, right? You know, but I I I think the city is going to abide by the order of this commission. So, I think if this commission says 90
days and the city's just going to say, "Well, you got 90 days to either make us happy or we get to come and knock it down." I don't know. I'm not in charge of what the city does. I'm not in charge of what you guys do. We're I'm just trying to advise her to say, "Hey, write a script. Do your best. Here's all the
information." He's got 600 600 man hours into this job so far. And it's going to be double that. Guaranteed going to be double that. >> It's really like building a house in six months. And that that's fine if you've got a hundred people working on it, but for
the most part, our little team is two or three people at a time, >> right? >> And you know, because I'm not a I'm not I'm not a house builder, >> right? But I'm I'm trying to work within
your your guidelines or or your demands and I'm I'm trying to give build a reputation with you. And you know what?
If I screw up, penalize me. I'm I'm doing doing the best I can. I can't have somebody out there full-time every day. I'm getting people that are getting off of work and they're coming to do some work for me, >> right?
>> And so I've got friends, relatives, I'm there. Uh I I can't afford to to cont I mean, if I could sit in an office and call this, put my windows in, put my siding on, do my insulation, oh, that'd
be great, you know, but why would I bother with that? I'd just go buy a house. This one is in my family, so I'm I'm committed to it. And I'm putting my savings into this house, and I'm putting my time and blood, sweat, and tears into
this. And I'm pulling in people, you know, some Marine veterans. I'm I'm employing people that, you know, could use some extra money for their home, for their
family. So >> again, we appreciate, you know, what what we're doing, but we're tied >> not enough to give me some extra consideration, >> but um at at this is there anything else you care to add?
>> Again, appreciate all the work that you have. >> I am committed to work with >> Agent Young, >> right, >> to do what needs to be done. I'm just asking for a little something in return. You know, I took on this
project and I didn't go looking for it. It showed up, >> right? >> And I'm doing the best I can with it and I'm I'm asking for some consideration for the progress that we've already shown. >> Right. >> Thank you. City have anything else?
>> City has no further evidence at this time. At this time, we'll close the public portion of the hearing and open it up for a motion. >> I move that the owner be given an additional 90 days from today's date to repair demolish the structure to meet the city's minimum building standard ordinance.
>> Second. >> Any discussion? >> Yeah. So based on the definition that we heard repeated today, I don't I don't disagree with that meeting of detailed work like it has the month but she's put
in the work and the effort for the 90 days but it does have it and so detailed is vague but they have month and so they explain that their project is being done smaller scale. So it may take four weeks to do a window there if they do a side of the house per month that's the progress that they're able to do but we
see evidence of it. we see funding of it. They've gotten um engineer report, they have design reports, they have estimates, they've already put money into it. And so if we're going to debate around the nuances of what constitute as detail, then the statute should be
changed to say it needs to have a professional detail like but the way that it is written, I don't think that this actually fits outside of the spirit of the statute or the code code ordinance. Thank you. some I don't think
that this is we've seen some that are egregiously with outside of it. I don't think that this is that >> I think they're looking for more something along like timeline and I don't see the like timeline of just real simple basic stuff. It's just I see a paragraph of a bunch of story of a story
of how everything's being put together. But I think I think when I look at it and and when I've done this is I put together a timeline. Doesn't have to be exact dates, but like chairman said, you know, the roof's going to take three weeks to get done. This is the first thing we got to do. Second thing is going to be the siding. The third thing
is going to be this. I just don't see that the plan that they they sent here just kind of has that all kind. >> Yeah, >> that's the confusion. >> I hear that. But I do because it has month by month and it has a sequence of what they're doing and then the a description at the bottom.
>> But but looking at that it looks like it's going to be 30 days to do a roof. It doesn't take 30 days once you start to >> Well, they're asking 100 days and they have a detailed I mean it's hard. I can't tell. >> We don't know. Does it justify? Is a roof really going to take 30 days or is it going to take a day? >> Well, they had a report from the
engineer that gave a professional opinion that said that it couldn't be done within 90 days. That was also to be taken into consider. Would you mind rereading it? >> You We can't reread it. I can >> Are legal? >> No. Our legal can't read the ordinance.
>> Yeah. >> Yes. I'm asking for the ordinance because it said that it to justify the 90 and it was a professional opinion that said that it can up. >> Oh, that's true. I mean, we can talk about 120. I just think that it said not 90 on the professional opinion. So,
the commission shall not allow the owner, leanholder, or mortgage more than 90 calendar days to repair, remove, or demolish the building or structure or fully perform all work required to comply fully with the order of the
commission unless the owner, leanholder, or mortgage one submits a detailed plan and time schedule for the work at the hearing and two establish establishes at the hearing that the work cannot reasonably be completed within 90
calendar days because of the scope and complexity of the work. >> I think that it satisfied that maybe not to the detail or to the level that we'd like but I don't not see it not satisfying a work plan a timeline it has by month. Um, and then they gave
evidence that from the engineer or the design report from an outside professional that it didn't it wouldn't be completed within 90 days. And so what I don't want to do is disenfranchise people who aren't able to spend thousands of dollars and getting a day by day, week by week when the ordinance doesn't outline that. But I hear that
because we've seen some that don't meet that. I just think that this does. >> I agree with her. Now, I think it's a different discussion on how much time passed the 90. It was asked up to 180s, but I think we but I I
do think that it fits the spirit of what it was saying. If you want to do a substitute motion on the table. Um, I make a substitute motion and I move that the owner be given an additional 180 days from today's date.
Nope. That's not it. Sorry, wrong category. Um, substitute motion. I move that the owners be given an additional 180 days from today's date to repair demolish the structure to meet city's to meet the city's minimum building standard ordinance.
>> I second. >> Second. All right. Any discussion on that one? >> I feel like they're trying. They're really showing a willingness. They're financially uh into the property. Um, they're both veterans. I think that it has a family
interest. They want to improve and make the home uh up to city ordinances and guidelines. I think they're very willing to do it. I that's that's my discussion is I think they will get it done.
>> Right. Ready for a vote. >> This is a motion to grant the amendment for an additional 180 days. Miss Lane. Hi, >> Mr. Leiden. >> Hi, >> Mr. Black. >> No, >> Miss Doy. >> Hi, >> Mr. Horris.
>> I >> Mr. Lou. >> I Miss Thompson. >> I >> motion carries 61. Um this uh see case the owner uh so this commission has
given additional 180 days uh for to uh repair or demolish the structure. Owner lean holder mortgage year record have the right to file an appeal to the Tarant County District Court within 30 days the date city mails a copy of our order. Thank you both for coming and
stay in touch with the code officer. What's Harvey here for? Can we do the one more case? We have to switch attorneys and Mr. Harvey's here. >> Uh, so can we do the next is the next case the uh the civil penalty? >> Yes. >> Okay. Can we do that one, please?
Next case, civil pen penalty case residential HS2542 1324 Limmer Drive primary structure aka lot 2, block 11R, Highland Hills West in addition to the city of Fort Worth. According to the plat recorded in volume
388-53, page 43 plat records of Taran County, Texas. Owner is Phillips Equity Capital LLC. Leanholder is American National Investors Corporation. And we have an appearance form from Jiren Howard.
>> All right. Ready. >> City calls officer Franklin Young to present the case. >> Hello again, commissioners. My name is Franklin Young with the city of Forward Code Compliance Building Standards Division. I'm here to present uh 1324 LC
Drive. I will describe this property as substandard. The structure is substandard due to the interior walls, flooring, ceiling, plumbing, and doors needing to be repaired. The BSC order to repair or demolish the structure was issued on April 28, 2025 and expired on
June 12th of 2025. Because no work was performed, the city proceeded with the demo folder, which was approved by legal on August 25th, 2025. During this review, the owner reframed the roof from October 13, 2025 through
February 25th, 2026. The only work that has been done is the roof was completed and the windows were replaced. I have spoken with the owner once. The reason for the amount of the civil penalty requested is the fact that no significant progress has been made since
April 28th of 2025 building standards commission hearing other than repairing the roof. The city requests a civil penalty in the amount of $100 per day for 282 days for a total of $28,200. Commissioner, if I have some follow-up
questions for the office. >> Yes. Go ahead. >> Officer Franklin, to your knowledge, has the property owner been notified of the requirements of the ordinance? >> Yes, sir. They were notified at the former at the first building standards commission hearing. >> Was the owner in present for that hearing? >> Yes, sir. He was.
>> And was the owner notified that he needed to comply with the requirements of those city ordinances? >> Yes, we've been in communication since it started. >> And was the city's commission's order sent to the homeowner? >> Yes, sir. >> And to the best of your knowledge that
at this time failed does the owner failed to take any action necessary to bring the structure into compliance with the minimum building standards code? Yes, sir. >> Thank you. No further questions. >> Any questions from commissioners? >> All right, Mr. Howard. Good afternoon. Or good. Where are we
at? Good afternoon, I guess. >> Good afternoon. >> Um, and what is your rel or could you state your name and city of residence? >> Jiren Howard Fort Worth. >> All right. And are you with Phillips Equity Capital? >> Yes. >> What is your position there? >> I'm the manager of the U business.
>> All right. Uh what would you like us to know about this property? >> I would like to say we have got the property uh in a good condition. It um it is secure and everything. Uh we have did the foundation repairs. We have did siding work. We have did windows and
also brick and roofing. Um so we have got the property stabilized for nothing can get inside of the property. Our next steps is to do the different trays. That's part of the permit process. Uh so as you can see we have started doing the HVAC work has done the duck work and
everything. Um and then our next steps is to do the electrical and the plumbing and then just finish the inside of the uh the house. Uh so we're just asking if we can just get some time a little bit more like a month or so to get the
property finished. Uh we did try to do the amendment but it was submitted the day after I guess the deadline so it did not get approved. Uh but we just asking that we have done work to this property to at least get it secure. As you can see has siding the brick work has done
on the front of the property as well. So things have been done. It might not have been in a timely manner, but we're we just need like maybe one more month to get this property completed and then get it sold on the market. And we Sorry. That's good.
>> Yeah. For this case though, there's we're not looking at time. This is just a penalty, a civil penalty on this. This is we can't give any more time. So, you're still working on on what you're doing. This is for the civil penalty for not having it done. Is there anything that we can do so we don't have to be
charged as much per day or something? Is there anything with that? Cuz we have already put in $25,000 in this and then just to add $30,000 of fee. That's a lot on us to complete this property. >> So what'll happen is there'll be an
amendment process that you can come back and if you show that it's been done, we can reduce it at that point. >> Okay. So >> you'll have 30 days, okay, >> to file the amendment to come back before us for us to sheet progress on what it if any to reduce. >> Okay. So we can do the amendment and
then we can still uh do progression with the work and then we just come back up for another hearing and submit that information. >> Yes. Show the progress that's been made so we can look to see if it's how close it is to done to possibly reduce the the amendment, reduce the amount. And so are
we getting charged now for that or does that >> today the commission is is ruling on the city's asked for $28,200? >> Okay. But we can amend that do the amendment and then do the work and then hopefully that can >> be working on it and come back with amendment show the progress and we can
take that into consideration. >> Okay. >> Um city have any questions? the fire that on that occurred on this property on November 13, 2024. What has taken such a long time in order to get
this the remediation on in progress? We weren't the owners of that property during that time. It went through a foreclosure and then after the foreclosure, uh I believe we got it at the beginning of 2025 and then that's when we have got the hearing from the first notice about this
case as soon as we got the property. So the deed recording Phillips Equity Capital LLC is the owner is dated November 6th, 2024, just over just around a week before the fire date.
So you were not the you're the owner at the time of the fire? >> No, we was not aware of any fire damage until after we got possession of it. >> Okay. But y'all were the owner of record before the fire date. That may have happened with the owner of
the property, but from my knowledge, um, it was the fire damage happened after that. We got owner of the property. >> No further questions. >> Ready to close? >> Said he's ready to close. Through the officers, officer Franklin's
testimony and the photographic evidence of the property here today, the property owner has been notified of the requirements of the ordinance. The owner has was needed to comply with the own or the requirements of the ordinance of the city of Fort Worth. The property owner has been notified of the city
commission's order and that the city uh the property owner failed to take any of the action necessary to bring the structure into compliance with the minimum building standards ordinances of and the order of this commission. So therefore, the city requests that the commission issue a civil penalty in the
amount of $100 per day for 282 days uh for a totaling $28,000 and two $28,200. And I'll remind the commission the authority of the maximum fine that the city the commission can order is $1,000
per day and the city is requesting $100 per day in consideration of the progress that has been made. Thank you. All right. So, I think we've talked the city's asking for the $100 per day, the lowest amount on that. Um, we talked about the amendment process showing
progress coming back. Anything else you care to add? >> No, that's it. Thank you. >> At this time, we'll close the public portion of the hearing and open it up for a motion. >> I move that we issue a civil penalty to the owner in amount of $100 per day for
282 days for a total of $28,200. Second, >> Mr. Wares, I think. >> Second. >> Ready for a vote. >> This is a motion to issue a civil penalty in the amount of $100 per day
