8th, 2025. Currently, there are no permits on file. The structure is vacant and secured. Inspection was conducted on February 9th, 2026 with owner Susan Acasta
present. Notice to appear at today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on November 5th, 2026. The primary structure is currently in substandard and hazardous condition due to roof has multiple breaches. Roofing
shingles, fascia and safet are deteriorated. Lacks adequate weather protection. Ceiling has deterioration and visible water damage. Floors are rotted with multiple breaches and poor support. Interior walls of fireplace is severely
damaged and the exterior chimney crown has broken. Front porch has missing skirting allowing access to the crawl space. Front porch columns are out of plum. Exterior walls have cracks and missing sighting.

>> All right. Uh, Miss Austa morning. if you'll state your name and city of residence. >> Morning. I'm Susan A Costas in Fort Worth is the city of residence where I live here in Texas along with my brother Daniel Dominguez. Um to correct from the
beginning, there needs to be corrections uh on the legal status of the representation of ownership. I represent the deceased original owner, my mother Maria, which is under her estate. And uh
second uh I need time to discuss about payments that are not accounted for represent the tax that go to the house. Um we could use that money for repairs because after reviewing what I could
review in such a short little time due to me being in jail getting out in January, I could not deal with that. I was working on that and my brother's been working on issues like this on the foundation on his own. People have helped him, but I'm going to let him
speak on his behalf. >> Okay. Did you have any questions for the city first other than the the chain? >> Yes. U Yes. Like >> for the officer? >> Uh >> did you have any questions for the officer? >> Oh, well, I do want to uh say that um if they decide to demolition, that's the
question. let uh let the city pay for the demolition because I don't have income. I don't have and that was part of the issue that brought all about this because no income and no uh representation of an attorney to get through all of this.
>> So, yes, we are asking for an extension. >> How much how much time are you asking for? >> Well, well, that just depends because this is a long term as you can see. >> But but this is the time that you ask. So, how much time would you >> Well, right now we need 90 days. >> Okay. And your your goal is to you mentioned demolishing it, but then you
also mentioned repairing. So what what >> well because she mentioned uh demolishing, but that's not our intention. Our intention is to repair and live in the home because this is our family inheritance. Sorry to say due to the conditions that my mother was living in based on her income from social
security, which she's no longer here and only she was only getting $900, she could not afford to repair the whole thing. So that's why uh we're requesting to uh extension to replace and do things that was requested on the paperwork of
the inspection that was made. >> Do you have any contractors lined up? >> No, all of this is uh volunteer work that has helped my brother provide things for the home. And like I said, the payments that from what I could see, there's unaccounted payments that could
be used towards the repairs of the home. All right. Have you had any experts look at it to see if it's >> No, because that's not our intention to sell. >> Well, no. To make sure it can be safely re rehabilitated. Has anyone come and looked at it to see? >> No. Because like I said, when I got out
of jail, I got all those letters, which is I'm seeing more than three letters of the same thing over and over that were saying they wanted to have the code compliance come out and uh say that it was not livable. >> All right. Thank you. So, Daniel,
Yes, sir. >> If you'll go ahead and state your name and city residence. >> Danny Dominguez, Forward, Texas. >> All right. What would you like us to know about the property? >> Uh, I have had someone come and uh look at it. He char he's his prize was $10,000. Um, I have my son-in-law or my
son, his father-in-law uh also does foundation. I'm going to see if he can help me. I'm just having to find people that can help me and stuff like that. I am capable of doing most of the work, too. I just got to be guided in a sense to be able to get it up to standards and everything. I know it's an eyesore, but
I can do it. >> Any questions from commissioners for either party? >> The city have questions for >> Yes. >> Has there been any work towards securing permits for the property's work? >> What do you mean like have you contacted
the city to secure permits for the work renovation work? >> No, not yet. >> All this is in No, all of this is individual basis. Like I said, due to income, there is no and we need to talk to specific people. Like I said, we have to I personally
have to go back because I'm dealing with the accounting on the on the how for the taxes cuz he's overpaid and they weren't accounted for. So, like I said, that money could be used for repairers, but we just have to get start from back over in order to get to where we need to be
to re uh re fix what we need to fix. But no, there has been no commun Oh, the only communication was with the city from code compliance. >> And both of you are heirs of the estate of Maria E. Gomez. >> Yes. And that needs to be corrected because of the way it's stated on there,
which was my mistake. and uh I was trying to represent her but the paperwork did not account for my brother's and like a secondary I I was thinking that was my daughter but that was not it which is my part there's a confusion on the paperwork and it needs
to be corrected. >> So is the property at 1905 South Jennings in your name currently? >> It's still under Yes and no. still first it was under my mother's name and then since she deceased uh now we had to
go back and recorrect it in our name but I'm like the representing of all her stuff for the meantime because we we we're still behind on communicating so it's part of the issue >> I do have a question for officer Burley
though okay go ahead uh officer Burley could you just correctly recclarify on when the notice for today's hearing sent >> February 5th. >> Notice to appear was mailed on February 5th and posted to the front of the property of this year, 2026. >> Thank you. Just want to make sure the

>> Talking about Miss Lane, any discussion? >> Yeah, I'll hop in. Um, I think the 60 days is better than the 90 that the But I'm actually unopposed to the 90 days because they don't It seems like they don't quite know what they're getting into, especially with the permitting process. >> Can you repeat that?
>> I didn't hear what you said. >> Sure. I said I'm unopposed uh to the 90-day request because there's permitting and they're still trying to figure out this process and like you said, you you're just hopping back in this u since January. And so, and if they don't buy the 90 days, then it's
going to start the process of the demolition. And so, I personally am unopposed to the 90-day request. >> So, you make a second motion for that. >> I guess I'd like to make an amended motion. >> If there's no more discussion on the original, you could >> But I wonder what Yeah.

the uh daughter of Lizzy May and JC Renfro. They are our parents. 23 H the 2319 that you're looking at that's our parents' house. uh in the house that you that you saw that y'all are looking at the yellow
line all of that we have we are going through something between a silver matter all that was supposed to be joined together right now we're going through a civil matter which the house is not it's appearing to be as one of our sister
Shirley it's appearing to be she is the owner it's a lot of silver matter mixed up with this right now nobody is has uh prepared to come together due to the
fact of the civil matter. Do I make sense what I'm saying to y'all? >> Correct. Are both properties are in the civil matter or only the one that's not >> both both houses. It's supposed to be in other words, they're looking at it like a duplex. It's supposed to be one
house. When our daddy bought the house, we we was raised bought the house in I think that was 50 when in 50 in the 50s. We were children. Then he bought the house next door. Daddy went to court. Him and Shirley. She went that he was up
in age. They joined all of that together. It's supposed to be one structure. No male comes to no male comes to 2319. is appearing to look surely is the owner when she's not the owner. She's heirs.
We all the ones that are living it was nine of us. Five are die. I mean five are deceased. So we this is tied in with a civil matter. >> Okay. >> That's reason the problem is like it is now with the house. Nobody's coming
together with the understanding to help repair it. >> Okay. >> Issue because she's in that one and they got it all separated. looking like now they done went in they went in and separated it. This was done later not before. Nobody has is uh has power of
attorney. Nobody has we just heirs equally. The boy that are living we are equally you know it goes equally. Those houses go together not separated. the male, no male comes there to to the
to the 2319 Lena because one part of the house which is separated, she's living in it charity and it's showing on record she's the owner when she's not the owner. We all are the owner. It all goes together. >> So the the the other structure is not
here. It someone's living in it but the other one's not being lived in. >> Exactly. That's the one what you take the what you have the pictures of. >> Gotcha. Okay. What? Uh, so how long are you asking this commission to give to get >> right now? Like my sister said, we we we that's our parents' home,
>> right? >> And we don't want to see it be demolished. We don't really want that, but nobody is coming together because of silver matter. I'm in this part. This belongs to me. Mom and daddy wanted us to have that. Want me and my husband to
have this. Nobody has did did that. and went down and took to took a affidavit down and they went down and separated it. >> It's been we have we're going through a civil matter here mixed in with this. >> Right. So, how long are you asking this commission to give y'all?
>> Well, uh like Deborah said, it's my sister and I like she said, we would hate to see the family home get demolished, but it's going to be hard when it's when it's four years still living out of nine siblings. It's going to be hard when you have no cooperation. And y'all know that it's going to be
hard with just you two working cuz when you get in and put your money in it and then hear this other your other sisters living in the house right here. She don't already said I'm not going to help with a dime with it. I'm not going to help fix it. So we going through a civil matter. Nobody is is on the same want to
really help fix it cuz in other words I'm here me and my husband and this. So so we we basically is here by oursel. We we don't want to see it get democracy. We willing to fix it, but we going to be it's not fair for us to be fixing her
and I the only two the two not here, right? >> Me and her. >> So, how long do you Today? Unfortunately, we can't get into the civil matter. We just need to know how long you're needing to get it brought back up to compliance. >> Sir, I can't I live across the street.
I'm the oldest daughter. And you looking at me when it comes to all this kind of stuff, you looking at a dummy. I am a dummy. I couldn't tell you, >> right? >> All I know is I would do my best. I'm I don't have a husband. I would do my best. That's the family home. That's
where my parents died and left us. They left us those lots of both of them lots together. >> Okay. >> It's two lots, two different addresses. And it's been stuff been done to make it look like it's one. It's not no one. I
mean, make it look like it's two. It's only one. Okay. So, the commission without a work plan, the most we could give y'all is 90 days. Is that what y'all are asking for? >> At least we can de That's right. >> So, I just need a time from y'all. How How long do y'all ask in this
commission? The city's asking for 30 days. How much will y'all be asking for? >> What you want? What you want? What you want? >> Well, wait. We If Deborah and I, this is my sister, we have the same mother and father. give us a chance to see what we
can do. It's only her and I >> But I need that amount of time from you. >> I I I would think that the 90 days would be >> Okay. >> Yeah. 90 is most we can give. So, is that what y'all are asking? >> 90 days. >> 90 is the most we can give without a work plan. But there is an amendment process that if if before that the
whatever we we uh get grant y'all today, you can come back with an amendment with a plan. If y'all can resolve something back and then you and then you would come back before this commission and we would talk some more. >> Okay. That's what we need cuz see we we two women's. >> Okay. >> Deborah don't have a husband. I don't have no husband.
>> Right. >> We out here doing I have I got my house over there that I got to try to maintain. >> We going through a problem with ugliness. I'm in this part this m and daddy wanted me and my husband to have this and all that kind of mess. So we

They can't they can't demolish this, >> right? Unfortunately, we can't we can't resolve that here today. So, we're trying to get it. So, you're asking for
90 days. >> Is there any other questions from commissioners? >> Is the city ready or you have any questions? City has questions. >> Okay. Has there been any efforts to actually repair the property? >> No, sir. >> Has there been any attempt to secure permitting to repair the property?
>> I'm sorry. What you >> Has there been any efforts to secure permits to repair the property? >> No, sir. That's what that's that's my point trying to get everybody to see. Nobody is doing nothing. >> Have you been in contact with any contractors to receive any estimates regarding >> nothing? Is there any funding available
to repair the property? >> Plumbing. >> Any funding available to repair the property? >> Any plumbing? >> Funding is funding money. >> Oh, no. No. No. There. No. It's the houses. This is the family home. >> No. Do y'all have money set aside to make the repairs?
>> No. No. Um, >> no. >> While this civil matter is going on, will y'all be able to enter the property? >> That's the point. It's You said while we can enter, you can go in the house now. You can go in and out. That's the back
door. It's the backyard. >> Do you have control of the property to actually undertake the repairs? Do you have the control of the property to start the repairs? >> No. >> What do you What do you mean when you say that? >> You have control of the property. Who who like could y'all go today and the
part that's that your sister's not living in, y'all could make repairs to it and do whatever you want with it? Is that correct? >> Yes. >> Yes. Okay. >> No further questions. Are you ready to Oh, I'm sorry. Did you have a question? >> They you you can they the houses are
right. They're not showing this on camera. The houses that garage that he was telling you about. uh daddy before he died he went to a court I believe it was a judge him and shared my my >> speak to the mic >> in the mic please ma'am
>> could you speak into the mic >> speak into the mic we can't hear you that there we go >> oh well what I'm saying they not showing that part on the camera the uh the house next door which is a little small house it's not being shown there daddy daddy
went to court and when he when he uh uh combined that uh carport when he combined that carport when you drive it's just I mean it's so close together like a apartment like a little little old small house that's the big house and
then right next to it in the same drive it's just the same driveway same everything had it fixed where it all be added as one structure not two although somebody has messed with the
paperwork and separated it to try to make it look like it's two structures, but it's not. It's one structure. >> So, we going through a battle with this, >> right? >> To the fact that people have gotten up
in age. Nobody really has no uh working jobs. The sure she works at a nursing home, but uh nobody's really have the money. We don't we would hate that the house look like it the structure of it look like it's all right but it's it's it's not all right inside you know I
mean I mean picture speak for itself but we would like at least you can give us a chance and say we did give them a chance we can see what we can do we can't do nothing if Deborah and I can't do nothing you just can't do nothing you can't do it you just can't do it cuz
it's nobody want to help before of us living out of nine time. >> You can't do it. At least you can give us we can see what we going to do. >> But if if if we were to grant you I'm back over here. I'm sorry. If we were to grant you the additional time like say today gave you time. What would you go
start doing tomorrow that's any different than right now? >> No. Like you but you that make you that's a good question what you said because I've been faced with that already cuz nobody has come together. >> So what's going to make it come together if we give you additional time? >> I'm I'm I'm sorry. You you got me on
that one. I'm I'm I'm here to be honest and to tell the truth. >> I appreciate that >> because I'm here, but I don't want to see the family home my mother and father left for their children. Had nine childrens together, >> right? >> I would hate to see them demolish. I'm
live across the street and I'm the oldest girl. You can imagine what I'm going through looking over there in a family home gone and then little old bitty house sitting there with Shirley with y'all showing she's the owner when she's not the owner. She's sitting up with that little old bitty house cuz she don't care. As long as you have some
children's life that y'all got children some of y'all in life you have some children itself as long as I I Okay. >> Well, we going through a battle, >> right? Understand. >> I have I I can't I can't do it by myself. Right. This is a home that our father built. My father built >> in the microphone. I'm sorry we can't
hear you. >> This home is a This home my father built with his own two hands. He did this. Nobody ever worked on this house but daddy. And let me just say yes, we would hate to lose it. And um I I feel that we
do need more time longer than 30 days. If there's any kind of way we can get additional time, okay, >> we would appreciate >> that's this is the time to do it. And then there's also the amendment process. So if we give time that that is not the full 90, you do have a process to come
back in and ask for additional time with a work plan of what you have to do. So Miss Doy has a question. >> I do have a question. We had um a document um in our evidentiary packet and I know you guys the both of you um are representing yourself today as two heirs. I'm right here.
>> Sorry, I'm leaning down for the mic. There we go. I can have a little better posture now. Um I know you're presenting yourself today here as two heirs and the third is not here present. >> There's four. >> Four. Okay. Well, there's three on our packet. Uh but the third Shirley Jean
Gilbert is not here in person. We do have a document that um looks like it's signed from her. It's an email. Um but the email address name shows Claudia Turner with contact at A&H Village. Are the Are you familiar with a Claudia Turner?
>> Yes, she's my brother's daughter. She's my niece. My brother's dead. Claude. She's Claudia. >> Her her her maid name is Renfro. >> Okay. So, because I'm I'm looking at this and I see two different names, but to the best of your ability, >> they would they don't got together and went down there and fixed up paperwork
because they in real estate business and they had that bug fix. They had it separated. They going to save the little house, but they don't want to save the main house. They don't want to fix it. All goes together. They went and separated. Like I told you, it's a silver matter. >> Yep. Thank you for providing clarity because there's
>> another issue I'm going through is this. >> Um >> what if that what if I we have already been told verable I'm not going to put a dime with help you fix it. I'm not going to help y'all fix it. They wants to demolish it. We are the only two that's
saying we want to see it say we hate see family home be >> is there any other >> we have family members note we have family members y'all that are real estate >> right I'm sorry y'all are having to go go through that but you know the the uh
for this meeting we're just trying to get it back to substandard hazard or from substandard and hazard so it's uh on that but the city have anything House. >> No further question. >> You ready to close? >> Yes. >> City requests that the commission find
that the structures be declared substandard and hazardous. City further requests that the owner be ordered to repair or demolish the structures within 30 days. And if the owner fails to repair or demolish the structures within 30 days, that city staff be authorized to enter onto the property and cause the
demolition of said structures and lean all costs associated with the demolition against the property. This is due to the fact that there is no active plans to repair the property and no consensus on what to do with the property. Thank you. >> All right. So, the you heard that the city said for 30 and I think y'all have asked for 90. Is that correct?
>> Yes, sir. >> All right. Anything else you would add like to add? >> At least it would at least >> in the microphone. Sorry. >> Sorry. At least me. I'm almost 80. Pretty close to 80. I'm the oldest girl. At least we going

These people have just been four months we've been dealing with. It's not got nothing to do with them. They don't did their job. >> They they have been wonderful. The the code I haven't had no problem with code.
Maybe with this order then y'all can get together and say we have we have this much time to do it on that. So at this time we'll close the public portion of the hearing. >> One other question please. >> Sorry. >> I just want to ask you sir, who do you show as owner?

substandard and hazardous condition due to sections of the brick sighting are missing exposed structural framing throughout the interior of the structure. The fascia and exposed rafter tail showed deterioration. Walls display severe moisture related
deterioration. The ceiling has collapsed leaving ceiling joist exposed. Construction debris is throughout the structure and several breaches and flooring exposing pipes. There are other conditions that contribute to the structure being in
violation of the minimum building standards ordinance and they can be found on the included structure inspection report. Officer has spoken to son Frank Marshall via phone and text. There are four churches, two city parks, and Taran County College within one mile
of the 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 lean off costs associated with the demolition against the property. This concludes my testimony. >> Just a quick interjection, we also have an appearance form from Mr. Ryan Kobe. >> Okay, Mr. Kobe, you can come down too as well. We'll get you both.
Um any uh questions from commissioners? >> Um all right. Uh first we'll go ahead and call up Mr. Mr. Marshall. Hello. Welcome. If you could state your name and city of residence, please. >> Frank Marshall, Fort Washington, Maryland. >> All right. What would you like us or
sorry, did you have any questions for the code officer of his testimony? Uh could I have a copy of it to to kind of understand what the minimum requirement is? We we've already started to gut the place a couple years ago and uh it's taken some time to get it under contract, but um we had some problems
and back and forth with the contract and it got locked in the system with the title company. So they wouldn't proceed because uh they saw the gutting already starting to take place and the guy that we originally Thomas Harms was going to sell the property to declined to buy it
in 2023. Um is there a document that you have that that shows what we need at a minimum to maintain compliancy? Um so we have what I just read. I can give you that before we leave. >> Great. You can talk with him after uh with that. Uh, so what would you like us
to know about this property? >> Well, um, we're talking with developers now, um, after getting a release from the title company that that held us up in selling the property back in 2023, which is what we were trying to do and, uh, share the proceeds with all the the
heirs remaining. Um, but we had some problems with that. So, we just got some resolution with that. And I've got new developers I'm working with now um to basically develop the home the way it should be and bring it back to code. Only thing is they're telling me uh they
have a plan. They've given me the price that it'll cost to get it repaired. Um and uh I can provide the plan to you if if need be, but they need at least six months. I know you said 90 days is the max you can authorize here without a plan,
>> right? But uh can we give you that plan within 45 days? >> You have up till whatever the whatever order we give today, you have a timeline to file an amendment and with that amendment you can include all of that information. >> Got it. Okay. Understood. >> Um so it sounds like originally you were
going to try to sell asis, but now you're going to re repair. Is that what I'm >> That's correct. We're going to work with a developer, get it repaired, get it back to norm, and uh just move on from the propert. >> And so you're asking I guess 90 days the max. Yes, please. >> Okay. Any questions for the
>> You're an heir, correct? >> Yes. >> An Okay. >> I'm I'm the son. Uh my dad passed away in 2019. My mom, she's still living and she's the one on the de Gilbert Marshall. >> Okay. >> I have a quick question. So, just to clarify, you're planning to repair
before you sell >> rebuild the property. Uh the plan is that uh the developer wants to work with us. They're going to share the cost and helping us develop the property and we're going to split the proceeds and we expect uh to bring it around I don't
know 2:30 uh once we get it all fixed up and we'll split the proceeds to go from there. There's back taxes that have to be paid as well and uh I'm just want to get this resolved so my mother's name is off this this deed and everything else related to it. >> Thank you.
>> City have any questions for him? No questions at this time. All right. >> All right. Uh, is it Ryan Colby? All right. If you want to go on, if you'll state your name and city of residence. >> Ryan Colby, Flint, Texas.
>> All right. And what's your relation to this property? >> Uh, I've known the Marshalss for about 15 years. Uh Veronica contacted me while I was working in Midland, Texas. Told me to come over, have a look at the
property, seal it up. I told her that uh there's quite a bit of workable material here, but I'd like to see the extent of the damage. Uh I've got a video of what it looked like originally. There was where that board was. There was just uh some tape in an old door
frame. Uh, I've gone through uh ex the what should I say? Uh, the first thing was looking what was uh looking through the house. There were all kinds of pests inside of the walls. Uh, that's probably fire damage on the back.
Uh, long story short, tore it down, had a look at what was inside. Pests, all this business, water damage. Uh, there were no fans or anything. There wasn't even a flu above the uh above the stove top. Point being, it's in very poor condition. I'm very happy Frank is here
today so we can get this handled. Um >> you hear the contractor. >> That's fine. >> So, are you a contractor? I'm sorry. I didn't hear what you Are you the contractor? >> I'm a handyman. >> Okay. So, are y'all working together? I didn't know. I'm not sure who Veronica was.
>> Me and Frank have been in communication since about the summer. Uh the reason being is after that initial demo, uh Veronica only paid for about 3/4 of the uh the trailer for the 30-yard trailer that it took for that first portion of
it. I've got another trailer's worth of dumping and uh after that, no contributions, nothing were made. So that kind of just stalled the whole process. I've been working with Frank here to figure out a plan of action. >> Okay. So y'all are working together on this? Not >> are we?
>> Okay. Okay. >> All right. So you should >> Okay. Yeah. Go ahead. >> Go ahead. >> So, a lot of this started from an accident that happened uh I guess off the freeway. A car ran into the side of the house. You see that damage right there? Um the car ran into the side of
the house. Basically destroyed a lot of the electrical uh in the home and uh the last tenants that were living there didn't have anything for a while and uh they refused to leave at the time. So, we have some extenduating circumstances to deal with.
>> Okay. and so u anyway for the most part that's beginning of the downfall of the home um and trying to get it repaired ever since. So now that we have it developed >> asking for 90 days to get working on it. Any questions from commissioners? >> City have any additional questions?
>> Yes. >> What work if any has been done towards the property? It's it's uh currently uh a lot of the stuff he's done so far is take down the walls that were dry rot and or I guess >> dry anything that had any kind of dry
rot, moisture damage. Uh also wanted to expose the uh what do you call it? The uh what do you the thing behind the wall that stands between the dead space and the brick on the frame. I can't think of it. Uh the sheathing, I'm sorry. Tried to make sure that there's no breaks in
there. get the place airtight afterward. That would be the, you know, the ideal way to proceed. Uh, at that I mean, just seeing the state of the place originally, the only thing I saw as a a reasonable path forward was a a full remodel
just based on the extent of the damage. >> Have you applied for or received any permits for any work to complete the project? none at this time because I didn't want to proceed with any of that work before getting a definite plan of action that the whole family would uh
stand behind and also fund. Now, now that we have a a plan, the original plan was to sell the property uh but the developer didn't want it because uh of what was done uh a bit premature. So, um in this case, we'll
work with another developer. We're going to share the effort and uh we need at least six months but we understand we're getting 90 days. So um that project will start within a week as we we're under contract now. >> Okay. And has the funding been secured
for that project? >> He the the developer has the funding. >> Okay. >> No further questions. >> All right. You ready to close? >> Yes. City requests that theru the commission find that the structure be declared substandard and hazardous.
Further requests that the commission order that the owner to repair the or demolish the structure within 90 or within 30 days. And if the owner fails to repair or demolish the structure within 30 days that the city staff be authorized to enter onto the property and cause the demolition of said structure and lean all costs associated
with the demolition against the property. Thank you. >> All right. So you've heard the city they've asked for 30 and I think you've asked for 90. Anything else you care to add? >> We would appreciate any time you could give us so we can get this right. We want to make the community look good again and this is a home where I grew
up. So I want to make it right for my my folks. >> Just remember you have the amendment process if you need additional time with a detailed work plan and everything to come forward. All right. At this time we'll close the public portion of the hearing and um open it up for a motion.
I move that the structure be declared substandard and hazardous. >> Second. >> Second by Mr. Walker. Ready for a vote. >> This is a motion to declare the primary structure substandard and hazardous. Mr. Castles >> I. >> Miss Lane. >> I. >> Mr. Black. >> Yes.

to present the case. Hello commissioners. My name is Jose Seno. I am code enforcement officer for the city of Fort Worth with the newses abatement section. I'll be giving testimony and reference to administrative civil case ACP 26-21
at the address of 601 Cooks Lane. This violation was identified on May 8th, 2024. The 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 14 inspections by multiple officers since the inception of this case. Two citations were issued prior to the case being sent to news abatement.
An administrative search warrant was not needed to enter the property. There have been 10 contacts with multiple additional attempts to contact the owner, family, or tenants and occupants. The new payment order was posted on the property on December 1st, 2025 and
expired on December 11th, 2025. The notice to appear to today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on February 4th, 2026. The last inspection was performed on February 19, 2026.
The staff recommen recommendation is to it says the civil penalty of $4,400 and also order the owner to remove the items as outlined in ordinance 11 A- 26A 1 27 and 8 within 30 days from the
effective date of the order. If the owner does not remove all the or ordered items within that 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 requested is the fact that some progress has been made since the news abd was posted on the property on December 1st, 2025. The property contains the health hazard
of items that can harbor vectors. This address the the property this this address had an active trash service since July 7th, 2025. The property was scheduled to be heard at the January 26, 2026 building
standards commission hearing. The civil penalty is calculated using the dates for the January 26, 2026 hearing. This is the end of my testimony. >> Thank you. Has any new stuff come on when you've had this or is it the same?
>> That's the same items. >> And how much progress do you think's been made? Roughly, >> she's made about 20% progress. >> Any other questions for commissioners? >> All right. Uh, Miss uh, Norman, if you
want to come up, you'll pull that microphone down. State your name and city of residence. >> Uh, Susan Norman in Fort Worth, Texas. And uh, it does look I'm sorry. >> I was going to say, did you have any questions from the code officer? >> No.
>> Okay. What would you like us to know about the property? Well, I primarily does look bad and I accept responsibility for that. I thought I had someone that was going to help me do this and that that did not turn out uh to happen. And I had a part of this was
illness on my part and family members did not come and help the way I thought they were going to. They were going to empty the house out and so that I could do some remodeling on it. It was built in ' 67. Needless to say, everything needs to be updated uh on it. Um I was
in a wreck and I guess it was Good Friday and it was in the hospital for three weeks and new bronles and then it took a long time for me to get back on my feet. Feel much better now and and willing to do it and have done um
I moved some stuff this week. I've got kind of like everybody I have a bad back and so I wasn't able to move some of the stuff. So, u it looks like it's about $75 an hour to have a handyman come out and do that. So, what I'm planning on
doing is having I had a nice storage building that uh when I bought the house, I put in an uh an aerobics septic system. Uh built a big store. Well, there was a storage unit there that was
falling in. So, I had to spend $10,000 to rebuild it. So, there is some place to store all of this. So, it's just a matter of getting somebody out there, getting them paid, and then getting it done. Probably would take two days to get all that done. And I also have two
huge piles of stuff that will go out on the uh the bulk storage days. I probably got two days worth of that. So, a lot of this was uh stuff uh after my parents passed away. I seem to have been the one designated for nephews and nieces. If
they had anything, they came and dumped it at my place. So, I think I can, it was 60 days, I think I can get rid of uh all of it. If not in storage, then in the bulk uh junk, trash, whatever we
want uh to call it, but a lot of this was stuff that was just left in the house. It has to be uh pulled out. And uh but the there are three pictures. The front where I have what would be essentially the driveway that's been
completely cleared out. And uh he has said that that looks fine. And I usually have lots of flowers and things there that look okay. And then at the front what would be considered the front door. All of that has been cleaned out there and looks okay. It's on a corner lot. So
you you do see the whole uh section of it and um then uh the back over to the right some of that has been cleared out too. So it's a start but there's a a lot more to be done. I accept responsibility
for it. I've just got to >> So how how uh much time are you asking for? >> Uh 60 days >> and then there's also a penalty a civil penalty being requested from the city. Well, um that's going to be difficult for me on a uh
you know, the I do get a st well, not a stipen. I do get an annuity and some social security, but I want to update this house and so I want to get a I guess you call it home improvement loan, whatever you call it. And to do that
plus pay a penalty is going to be excuse me really difficult for me to do. Yes. Look, I mean with the penalty is if you get this all cleaned up and come back in the amendment process, we can wave or reduce the penalty. It's kind of an incentive to get it done within the timeout we we allow. So just keep that
in mind even though whatever is assessed today if it gets cleaned up this commission typically removes or reduces >> those penalties based on what was done. So keep that in mind. >> Well, and city has been quite lovely. I can't say I've been very easy working
with him. I think he had the unfortunate had to deal with my brother for a while while I was uh getting recovering and uh he's a businessman and not the easiest person to deal with but uh he's been very helpful to me. If I called him he called me right back he gave me good
information. He answered questions and so he's been very bright to work with. >> That's good to hear. Any other questions from commissioners? >> I have a quick question. So you're I'm right here. >> Oh >> it's hard voice. Um, okay. So, you have someone that you've already talked to
that can help you because it sounds like >> in the past people you were relying on >> Yeah. >> family members. Don't ever rely on family members. Uh, no, they didn't do they were going two different times they were coming over to do it. If I was in Oklahoma where
my mother is one of 10 kids, so I was many, many relatives up there, it would have gotten done in one day. But I just don't have anybody here that I could >> Do you have someone now you're talking to? >> Yeah, there's um like I was surprised how many different
you know you you got this Angie's List and other thing and you can really get specific about what you want done. Do you want boxes moved? You want electrical work? So many different things that could be done. And so if you just want things moved around the house,
that's about 75 $65 an hour is the going rate. So and Do you have that set up or kind of >> No, I haven't set it up yet because I needed to wait and see uh what we'll do. But uh there's quite a few of them in there. So I feel like, you know, it's uh
and what I eventually want to do is uh all start approved. I got to get a new roof and uh I've already talked to the roofing man. You know, all these people have got to get uh lined up, but I want to get the electrical done at the same time. From what I understand, you want
to do those when you do that, you know, don't do because >> Does the city have any questions? >> No questions. >> You ready to close? >> City's ready to close. Great. >> City requests that the commission assess the civil penalties of $4,400 for $100
per day for 44 days. Also order the owner to remove the items outlined in ordinance 11 A 26A 1 27 and 8 within 30 days. If the owner fails to comply with set order, authorize city staff to enter onto the property, cause the removal of said
items, and lean all costs associated with the removal against the property. Thank you. >> All right. So, you heard the city um request of 30 days and the $4,400. What would you ask us? >> Uh six Well, 60 days would be better,
but uh you know, if it's 30 days, it's 30 days. >> Do you want 60? This is your time to ask us. Okay. >> 60. >> All right. >> So, we could get a little maybe a little bit warmer weather because I will be out there doing a lot of this. >> Okay. >> Myself, a lot of this just needs to go in the junk pile, >> right? And then we talked about the
civil penalty. You would like it to be uh >> reduced. >> Reduced, but >> but I know you need to see that the work has been done. Okay. Before. >> All right. So, at this time, we'll close the public portion of the hearing and open it up for a motion. >> Miss Dyke, I believe, or me.
>> Walker. Okay. Um, I move that uh I move that the owner be ordered to abate the nuisance within 60 days and if the owner does not comply, authorize city staff to enter onto the property and if nuisance and lean the
cost associated against the property. >> Second. >> Second by Miss Thompson. Any discussion? Ready for a vote? This is a motion to abate the nuisance within 60 days. Mr. Castles. >> I. >> Miss Lane. >> I. >> Mr. Black. >> Yes. >> Mr. Yuiwali.
>> Yes. >> Missy. >> I. >> Miss Dyke. >> I. >> Mr. Walker. >> Hi. >> Mr. Warz. >> Hi. >> Miss Thompson. >> Hi. >> That motion carries 90. Uh. Uh. Okay. Okay. I move that we issue a
ci civil penalty to the owner in the amount of $40 per day for 44 days for a total amount of $1,760. >> Have a second. >> Second.
>> Second by Miss Dyke. Any discussion? >> And I just uh went ahead and reduced the price for some of the work that she's already done. I think they said uh co compliance says she did about 20% already. So just reduce that a little bit just to kind of help her out on that.
>> So you went to $40. Just making sure the Okay. >> All right. Uh ready for a uh vote. >> This is a motion to issue a civil penalty in the amount of $40 per day for 44 days for a total of $1,760.

Hello, commissioners. I'll be giving testimony in reference to administrative civil case 26-23 at the address of 5113 Melinda Lane South. This violation was identified on January
7th, 2025. The 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 12 inspections by
multiple officers since the inception of this case. One citation was issued prior to the case being sent to News Ament. An administrative search warrant was needed to enter the property. There have been three contacts with multiple additional attempts to contact the owner, family,
tenants, or occupants. The new subment order was posted at the property on December 1st, 2025, and expired on December 11th, 2025. A notice to appear for today's hearing was mailed and posted to the property on February 4th, 2026. The last inspection was performed
on February 19, 2026. The staff re recommendation is to assess a civil penalty of $4,400 and also order the owner to remove the items as outlined in ordinance 11A-26A1
27 and 8 within 30 days from the effective date of the order. If the owner does not remove all the order items within 30 days period, the then 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 requested is the fact that no progress has been made since the new payment order was posted on the property on December 1st, 2025. The property contains a health hazard of
items that can harbor vectors. This address had an active trash service since January 1st, 1956. This property was scheduled to be heard in the January 26, 2026 building standards commission hearing. The civil
penalty is calculated using the dates of the January 26, 2026 hearing. This is the end of my testimony. >> Thank you. Has there been any progress since you've been involved? During my last inspection, I observed that she made about 5% progress mostly
in the front. >> Okay. Any new stuff that you've noticed coming in or is it the same stuff? >> It's the same stuff. >> Okay. Any other questions from commissioners? Mitchell. Good morning. I guess the morning if you'll state your name and
city of residence, please. >> Cecilia Mitchell, Fort Worth, Texas. >> All right. Did you have any questions from the officer? on his testimony. >> No, I just uh wanted to ask why you didn't show that the improvement in the
front part instead of just the backyard. >> There are photos of the front porch. >> We can go back if whoever's running back to the front of the house. While that's pulling up, uh, what would you, uh, what would you like us to know
about this property, Miss Mitchell, >> and your plans? >> Well, uh, one, I was laboring under some either misunderstood or false information that I received. Um, was trying to do, uh, some repairs there at
the house and do some other things as far as the backyard was concerned on a project of, uh, putting in a patio and eating area. and all I uh am alone so I have to do everything myself and by
working I am trying to accumulate the things when I can get them on sale. That being said u I have a storage problem as you can see. I was home on
the uh Thursday before the storm. I believe that was January the 20th that uh on that Thursday and I did meet with the two officers and I do want to say at this time that they were very courteous and I
thank them for that. Um but the reason I was home is because the storm was coming and I wanted to get everything uh covered up and all for that. So, uh, it was over a little over two weeks
that I was icebound, so I couldn't get out to go to work. And of course, as y'all know, the weather was in the teens. So, anyway, that kind of limited me on being able to do anything after I had spoken with them.
And um I uh really I guess I don't have anything else to add to it except that uh it just kind of got out of hand on me uh purchasing the things that I needed
because that they were on sale at the time and that was the only way that I could get them. There are several things there on the front porch that need to be picked up by Amazon because they were left at the wrong address and they're very heavy. The there are a couple of
items that are there that I am unable to move. And the reason that I got them then is because of the contractor that was going to help me with the the renovation of the backyard uh the weather and now he's got another
job. So, he's postponed that for a little bit. So, I'm asking for the maximum that you can give me so that I can go ahead and do this myself. Like I said, I don't have anyone to help me on it. So, >> uh to to get it done and get things in
more of an orderly way than uh what I have had it due to >> Okay. >> my own lack of knowledge, I guess. >> Right. So, you're asking for the 90 days. That's the max. Okay. If that's the maximum. Yes. >> And like I don't know if you heard the
last hearing about the administrative civil penalty, there is a penalty being assessed, but if it's picked up and clean up, >> I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said. >> Sorry. The there's also the an administrative penalty of $4,400 the city's asking for, like I told the other uh owners, if if if it's cleaned up, you

Texas. Owner is Donald Robert Bowman and Paty Bowman. Lean Holder Nun. And we have an appearance form from Johnny Gaines. Thank you. And for the record, Mr. Walker did not return from the lunch. So
I just want to put that on the record. Um, ready call the city is ready and calls officer Gonzalez to present the case. Hello commissioners. My name is Juan Gonzalez. I'm a code enforcement officer for the city of Fort Worth nuisance ab.
I'll be giving testimony in reference to administrative civil case ACP-26-34 at the address of 7725 Ella Young Drive. This violation was identified on March 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 inception of
this case. One citation was issued prior to the case being sent to nuisance abatement. An administrative search warrant was not needed to enter the property. There have been zero. That should be a correction. The zero contacts with multiple additional
attempts to contact the owner, family, and tenants/ occupants. The nuisance abandonment 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 February 4th, 2026. The last inspection was performed on February 19th, 2026. The staff recommendation is to assess a civil penalty of $4,400 and also order the owner to remove the
items as outlined in ordinance 11 A-26A 127 and 8 within 30 days from the effective date of the order. If the owner does not remove all of the ordered items within that 30-day period, authorize the city staff to enter onto the property and cause the removal of
set 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 no measurable progress has been made since the nuisance abatement order was posted on the property on December 29, 2025.
The property contains a health hazard of items that can harbor vectors. There is no record of trash service at this location. This is the end of my testimony. >> Thank you. Any new stuff come in on this one or has it been about the same? >> No, there's no new stuff. It looks like

and and tomorrow a constable will be coming out, a deputy constable will be coming out in the morning to meet us and and you know get them out of there because they won't leave and they brought so much stuff in. Uh but anyway
um so at this point and then and we have and we have um a junk key who you know removes all kinds of stuff coming in to to remove the things from inside the house at the time that the deputy constable is there
>> and right after that he's going to start they're going to start working on the yard and just to get everything. It's just it's horrendous. >> Right. How long you think you'll need to get it taken care of? We're gonna start We're gonna start it. Like they're going to try to start the backyard is the
worst part. They're going to try to start the backyard uh after they finish the inside of the house, which I'm not sure how long that takes. Just probably a short short time because we'll do he'll do it while the constable is deputy constable is there. Um but we want him to start on it right away. So
he should however long it takes at least a couple of days. >> Well, 30 days is the minimum. Is that going to be enough time? >> 30 days then. Yeah. And then there, you know, we also, and we've talked with everybody else, the civil penalty is on there, but if if y'all get it cleaned up and come back to the commission and show

go through the process. >> Yeah. I was thinking um they got a professional company coming out to clean out the property and they'll get it done within 30 days. Um I could definitely see the amendment process happening where it'd be done and they could come
back and amend it. Um I'm okay with reducing it. I'd probably want to keep something there just to keep make sure that it gets done. But it's up to you guys. Whatever you feel. >> Have a substitute motion. Anybody doing

>> Next case is an amendment new case residential HS2589 Council District 3 9712 Santa Clara Drive primary structure aka lot 11 block one Linda Vista Estates an addition to the city of Fort Worth Taran County,
Texas. According to the map or plat recorded in volume 388- C, page 70, map and/or plat records of Tarant County, Texas. Owner Sylvia L. Ramos and Ricardo Brakamontes Ramos, leanholder, United Wholesale Mortgage LLC. And we have an
appearance form from Chidi OA. Just a moment. Let me get the paperwork. Good afternoon. Um in uh Could you state your name and city of residence? >> Yes, my name is um Chidyoha. Um I reside in Houston, Texas. I'm the attorney
representing the Ramoses in a claim against their insurance company. Um requesting another 90 days. Um my apologies for this going so long. But before I got involved, um my my clients
were under the impression that the insurance company would pay out enough to uh essentially tear down and rebuild the claim. uh my client unfortunately overshared about the uh you know what's going on with the city. So they the insurance
company just somehow changed their position, lowered that bid and uh has has not provided enough for him to rebuild the home. Uh they want them to do repairs. However, there's there's they haven't found one
contractor that would do the repairs for the money for the amount that they paid them. Um, many contractors, including the expert that I hired to uh inspect the property, believe that the property should be torn down and rebuild. Um, and that's essentially what's going on. on a
request in the 90 days because in that time uh the statutory notice period would have already expired and I could file a lawsuit and you know get the courts to order them to pay out the money that's uh needed in order to rebuild the home.
>> You think all that can be done in 90 days? Um, I'm hoping uh so I'm just I'm requesting the 90 days because basically by the time I file lawsuit, the adjuster that we have on the file, he'll be gone. So
chances are it'll be kicked up to a to an attorney that the insurance company hires. Um, and I think after seeing all the facts and circumstances, I think he'll be more willing to uh speed things up. So, are you is your CL planning on
demolishing the house? >> Uh, be yes. Based on the damages inside the home, um, we believe that's the only alter that's the only option. >> So, why not? I guess what what are you waiting? Why can't y'all go ahead and do that now, I guess? >> Well, that's that's the trick because
what the insurance company would do would they would try to use the demolishing of the home against us within the case. um you know the likely their attorney would say, "Well, I haven't had a chance to hire my expert to to look at the property, things of
that nature." So, we're kind of between a rock and a hard place with the city and also the uh underpayment from the insurance company. >> Okay. Anybody have any questions? The city >> I do. Is the property currently secured?
>> Yes, the property secured. Um we have there's a door on it. the, you know, the the roof on the edge is a little damaged. Um, but the interior is completely burned. Um, yeah, completely. >> Regarding the negotiations, regarding
the negotiations with the insurance, is there any lower amount that is mutually agreeable between your client and the insurance to reach get some sort of funding to make progress immediately? >> Yes. Uh there is some there is some um
there is there is a they actually paid something out. It's just the number is so low that uh no contractor would would take on based on what my clients have. And so you know that's that's kind of where that's where I came into the case
to essentially have to force them to to pay out enough. Um, now with the amount that we do have, I'm I'm assuming maybe we can possibly tear down. And then I can always make the argument that that that was the best option for us. So, you
know, looking at it that way, that may be a possibility um that we can take that we can uh try to take advantage of. No further questions. >> Is the city going to present anything? >> City is ready to present. >> Okay. >> City calls. Officer Young stand.

right. What would you like us to know about this property? Um, a week ago I um uh my neighbor she has been living there for some some time and uh I told her that if she ever sells it to come and knock on my door
and she did about a week ago and uh she said if I was interesting buying it I said well let me look at it and let me look at the price and see what it is. The price is very good. So I say yeah let me do some movement and I can come out with that amount. Um, so Friday,
this past Friday, uh, we signed a contract and and a down payment of $2,000 or I don't know if it's a down payment. It's called it something else. I'm not familiar with the legal terms. >> Earnest money. Yeah. Uh, to buy the
house, but uh, she did tell me about the city want to make sure you clean it up and fix it up. And I said, I never been in the house yet. I haven't been inside the house yet. I've been around it because like I said on my three houses down I'm at 1012 West Gamro. She's 11 18
and u I did met your grandma uh many many years. She did a hair salon thingy for ladies there. Um um they were good neighbors. Uh so I I signed a contract for $2,000 and and uh
ready to move forward. Uh they asked me if I want to move forward and I was serious about it. Say, "Yeah, I'm serious. Uh if I got to sign for that, that's fine. I'll sign it." So we did that Friday. I'm here now on Monday. Uh she did explain to him all this legal
issues with the ownership and title and all that. Don't quite get everything. But I think she's telling the truth and she's being honest with me all the way. Uh, so I need more time if I if I am the
owner uh by um uh warranty deed. Uh then I need more time to fix it. I I do have a full-time employee. I'm 66 years old. I'm not retired yet, but I'm getting close to that. My buddy says so. And um
I need time to fix it. I need time to go cut all the stuff in the back. It's got a lot of bushes, a lot of trees, all that. all that. I want to cut all those trees down. I want to paint the house. I know you got to get a permit with get new windows, new doors, and all that. And then I'm going to start cleaning up
all the inside and take all the trash out and so contractors can come in and do some work. I do have a friend named Blanco and he's familiar with this kind of work. I'm a technician. I don't know what I don't I can't use a paint or
anything, but um he's familiar with that. and he said, "Yeah, I'll help you out. Um, if you decide to buy it, I'll I got some contractors that can help you paint the house, roofing, sheetrock, whatever you need." I said, "Okay." So, here I am, uh, asking for for time. I'm
not the owner yet until we, you know, we have this warranty deed signed and and all that. So, here I am. >> Right. Thank you. So, I think you said 90 days is what you're asking for. I >> 90 days is the most you can give me from
what I've been hearing throughout this whole morning. Uh yes, I need more than that, but that will work. That'll get me started. That will get me familiar with what I need to do. Like I said, I haven't been inside the house yet. >> Right. Does the city have any questions for the owner?
>> I believe there's an interested party. I would not be able >> Well, or the owner before. Sorry. Anything now from them? >> No. >> Okay. Are you going to present? >> Uh city's ready to present.

when the commission ordered 30 days to repair demolish the structure. The owner had until November 26, 2025 to comply with the order. The owner requested an amendment November 24th of 2025. The owner requested an additional 90 days to
complete repairs or demolish order. A notice to appear at today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on February 5th, 2026. And as of today, the structure is still in the same condition. It's the end end of my testimony. >> Thank you. Did you have any questions
for the code officer? No. Anything? Okay. >> We're all aware it's in pretty bad condition. >> All right. So, at this time, if you want to go ahead and close and let us recap of what you're asking for us today, the time or or what you're what you're
needing from the commission, what you're requesting from the commission. >> Is an amendment. Are we able to do the 30 days or 60? >> The amend the amendment is sorry. The process is to get additional time. >> Okay. Correct. >> So, so this is your opportunity to ask for the time >> 30 day I mean 60 days. That way we can
still present let them know the time frame of the 60 days to then submit the permits after closing. >> Okay. You're asking for right. Is the city ready to close? >> Yes. The city um due to the property remaining in the same condition and has not been repaired and the sellers it's
the intention just to sell the property and not actually repair or demolish the property at this time.

amendment. >> Have a second. >> Second. >> Obviously, any discussion? Yeah, I feel like this is a really um
it's an interesting ethical space. Um I know what like what it is on paper, but in practice this is about to be sold to someone else and then they all have no recourse in filing amendments. I can't necessarily
tr trust the word of the person present. If they're selling the house and their hands will be clean of it and this new person is getting the house. Yes, there's public records, but again, it just ethically it doesn't like I'm so I will I'll let everybody
else speak before I introduce a substitute motion unless somebody else wants to do another substitute motion, but I feel like 90 days because if this is the end of the road and someone else is about to get this property and it's going to be demoed or if they want to, I don't know, it just
it feels really is not the legal ease for it, But >> any other >> What's the thought of the new buyer? I mean, apparently do they they do know what's going on or they don't know what's going on? >> They do know.
>> Do they know? >> I mean, it's a asis sale, so they're they've walked the property. >> You're no speaking. >> Yeah. Sorry. This is just us talking. >> Got it. >> Yeah. Sorry, it's closed. >> So, I guess the question is 90 days. If if we send it out to 90, will they be able to get it done in 90 days? >> It's the most we could.
>> It's the best we could do. What's there's nothing after that after that. >> There's nothing after that. So that's what that's what I'm saying. Like I don't know what they know because they're not here. >> This is like a good faith thing, but I also like we're here as citizens, right? Like what's the space and making sure
that the community is protected because it is a danger, but also it's a tough spot. >> I'm I'm good with the 90. I just think the new buyers are going to have a surprise when they realize they're stuck up against a deadline. We have a substitute motion
>> or does somebody else have other thoughts on >> Do we have a substitute motion? >> Yeah, I'll go ahead and do I move that the owner be given additional 90 days from today's date to repair demolish the structure to meet the city's minimum building standard coordinates. >> I'll second.

>> I would yeah I um I know this has been going on for a very long time but I would like some additional time. I do have I was introduced to a friend
about a month ago who incidentally was a friend of Paul who is the creator of all of this and most of the improvement that was done
was due to him. He got on Paul and made Paul do some work. Um, I talked to the officer and he said it looked a lot better, but there was still a few things left to be done.
And uh, because of my disability, I c I can't even walk into my backyard hardly, but I know there are some things out there that he needs to um, still pick up. And uh Jason has been such a good I mean
I just met him a month ago. He's been such a good friend. He has steered Paul in the right direction. Paul is just he's just a stubborn he's just stubborn. And so um
I would just like a little additional time. And and in addition to that, my disability with my knees has gotten so much worse in the last couple of months. My doctor insisting that I'm
having surgery. So, I'm having my first knee surgery next month. And so, with the surgery and rehab and that kind of stuff coming along,
you know, I I suspect I'm going to be out of pocket for probably six to eight weeks, at least six weeks because I'll have surgery. They're going to put me in patient rehab because I have no one at home to take care of me.
>> Are you are you doing the work or somebody? No, no, no. Oh, okay. So, >> I can barely walk out. >> So, how long do you think it'll be for you can get somebody? Well, I would like 60 days because when I have this surgery, I don't think I could come back in 30, >> right? Okay.

reduced fine pre. >> Yes. And I appreciate that. Unfortunately, I have not been able to make any payments on that. And obviously, now that I'm going to have deductibles and out of pockets for medical, I'm probably not going to be able to make any
payments on it. Well, the amendment process, you know, does allow us to to reduce or remove that, but it doesn't sound like anything's really been done. >> No, a lot of stuff was done. I thought he was going to be here to show you pictures. There were a lot of >> We're gonna We We're going to see in a

Tarant County, Texas. According to the plot recorded in volume 63, page 18, deed records, Tarant County, Texas. Owner is Jimmy Bradley. There are no lean holders. And we have an appearance form uh from Jimmy Bradley. Just a second.
All right, I'm ready. City. Sorry. city is ready and the city calls officer Rodriguez to present the case. >> Good afternoon. Uh my name is Marissa Rodriguez. I'm a code enforcement officer here with the city of Bworth. Um this property today is located at 2923
Clinton Avenue. This case originated on August the 11th of 2024 by officer Max Morris. Notices um for this property were placed on August 11th of 2024, October 14th of 2024, November 14th,
2024, and February 5th of 2026. Um the gap in the time is for repairs that were promised to be made. Um the structure is vacant and secured by the city and my final inspection was conducted on February the 9th of 2026
and again um on the 21st um by officer Franklin Young. Um at the March 24th 2025 hearing, the owner was given 30 days to repair the structure and notice to appear at today's hearing was mailed and posted on the property on January
the 7th of 2026. The repairs that need to be made um to this property to be brought up to standards includes adding exterior walls, foundation repair, interior walls, windows, and doors um need to be replaced as well. There has been no
significant repairs made to this property since March 24th, 2025th. The hearing where the commissioners ordered the property be repaired or demolished within 45 days. The property owner replaced the roof on June the 24th of 2025.
um and that stopped the demolition from the city. Um since then, no further updates have been made and Mr. Bradley has never returned my calls or messages. Once the January hearing um for this year 2026 was rescheduled, Mr. Ru Martinez started
to contact me on behalf of Mr. Bradley. Repairs have started, but no significant changes have been made at the time of my last inspection. Uh the reason for the amount of civil penalties requested is the fact that no progress has been made since the March
24th, 2025 hearing other than the roof being replaced on June 24th of 2025. The city requests civil penalties in the amount of $250 per day for 277 days for a total of $69,250.
That is the end of my testimony. >> Thank you, Chairman. >> Mr. Chairman, follow up just before >> Okay. Sir, >> uh, Officer Rodriguez, uh, there this case was previously set for another hearing date. Correct. >> It was set for the January 21st hearing
>> and the notice for today's hearing was sent on what date >> on February the 5th of 2026. >> Uh, just wanted to make sure the record was clear due to the previous notice was mentioned earlier. Um, was the owner
notified of the requirements to comply with the previous order to repair or demolish? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. What when was that? >> That was at the building standards commission for March the 24th of 2025. >> No further questions. >> Any questions from commissioners to the
officer? >> Mr. Bradley, you state your name and city of residence, please. >> Yes. My name is Jimmy Bradley and this is my assistant Paloma. >> All right. >> Uh >> we have uh
>> order chairman. >> Oh, sorry. >> I do not believe Mr. Bradley has been sworn in at this time. >> Okay. >> I have a little hard time hearing so long may kind of help me a little if that's okay. >> Okay. Yeah. Did you swear in this morning? Were you here this morning? >> No, we weren't. >> Okay. If you will uh uh please raise
your right hand and take an oath of truth. You have to swear in. >> You have to swear in. >> Oh. >> 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. >> All right.
So, what would you like us to know about this property? >> What do you want them to know about? >> Well, we've acquired our permit. We've also uh got some more recent video of what we've accomplished. Uh we've had a
lot of issues in the past. Uh we we had a lot of issues. I I let one of the uh family members remain there for a little while and he had been there 30 years. I sort of
felt sorry for him. So it long story short, it took me about nine months to get him out and I eventually had to evict him. Uh there have been delays but now we uh have acquired our permit
uh put a new roof on it. We've start we have completed our foundation pierce and we've got a little video of it if you'd like to see it. uh where
I don't anticipate we put a fence around it. Been very difficult to keep it clean because of the homeless. It was a drug house. Uh had a hard time keeping them out of it.
Uh but we've got our permit now. We've got our fence. We've got our plan. uh we'll be delivering. We've got our uh foundation peers are complete and
they've been inspected and passed. Uh we'll be delivering our lumber for the framing to begin immediately. Uh the plumbing, we'll we'll do the
plumbing before we start our framing, but that shouldn't take but a week. Uh our process has began and I don't think I don't see anticipate anything that
will stop us or delay us much other than maybe weather. You know, we got spring coming up and and our permit uh is I think July 4th or 5th is when it
expires and and that's when I would hope that that we would I hope we can finish a little quicker than that. But but absolutely uh I hope that uh we'll be
through by then with a complete project that when we get through with it, it'll be about 2100 square ft. And in essence, uh it'll be a new home. >> And when did you say how long did you
say >> how long did you say for the project? >> How long? Well, I'm saying our permit expires July 4th. I hope we can do a little quicker than that, but that's
kind of that what is that 120 130 days, something like that. Uh it's a pretty extensive edition and uh I'd like to have about 120 120 or 130
days. complete the whole project now, >> right? Well, today we're not giving you time. That was that's already been done. This is more this is for the fine, the civil penalty. >> Civil penalty. >> That's all we're here today about. >> We're here to talk about the civil
>> the civil penalty. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So, the the time we're not given more time today. You it needs to get, you know, back up to code. But uh um any questions from any of the commissioners?
City have questions? No cross-examination. Go ahead. >> All right. So, you ready to close? >> Uh do have rebuttal testimony questions for Officer Rodriguez. >> Oh, okay. >> Officer Rodriguez, when did when was the roof repaired again? roof
was replaced and repaired on June the 24th of 2025. >> And what other work have you seen on the pro in your investigation since that roof was repaired? >> No work, sir. >> When did you see work start again at the
property, if any? >> On February the 9th >> of what year? >> This year, 2025. >> So, >> I met the contractor on the property. >> Okay. So about how long was there no work being done on the property?
>> Since June the 24th of 2025, >> so about eight months or so. >> Yes, sir. >> And did you have any conversations with Mr. Bradley or the contractors before work started resuming? >> There was a different contractor that had brought plans to the office and those fell through and I don't know the
story behind why they did. Um, and other than that, every time I call Mr. Bradley's office. He's unavailable and I don't get any return phone calls. >> Uh to the best of your knowledge, what changed for the work to start resuming? >> Um I believe the reason that I've been
in contact now is because we did provide them a notification of the January 21st hearing that was introduced in the civil penalties. >> No further questions. >> Are you ready to close?
City's ready to close. The evidence offered here today through the photographic evidence in the officer's testimony proved beyond preponderance of the evidence that the owner was notified of the requirements to comply with the ordinance needed to comply with the requirements of the ordinances of the city of Fort Worth was
notified of the commission's order and failed to take any action necessary to bring the structure into compliance with the minimum building standards ordinance and the order of this commission. So therefore, the city asks that the commission issue a civil
penalty to the owner in the amount of $250 per day for 277 days totaling in the amount of 69,250. The reason for this amount of money is due to the amount of time where the
owner did repair the roof but and cured a lot of the hazardous condition. However, the property still remains in a substantial condition and only started committing completing work once there was aware of the civil penalty hearing. Thank you. >> All right, Mr. Bradley, you heard what
the city had to say. Do you have anything? What would you like this commission to do in regards to the civil penalty? >> 69,000. >> Yeah. 277 days at $250 a day. Uh well, I'd like for you to be a little
more reasonable than that. Uh >> there is an amendment process that within 30 days you can file for an amendment to come back for us and show what you've done and that could be reduced. >> Can we do that? >> Well, that's after this hearing. >> Okay. >> So, make sure and follow up with your
paperwork and your code officer when we're done. >> Well, I would say this. I took a drug got rid of a drug house and there was some issues but I don't ex that but we'll take that up maybe I guess at the
next meeting or that my understanding I have a right to >> so after this hearing you'll have 30 days from the date of the order to to file an amendment so we can work with your code officer on how to do that.
>> Okay. All right. So, at this time, we'll close the public portion of the hearing and open it up for a motion. Mr. Lou, >> I move the commission issue a civil penalty to the owner in the amount of $250 a day for 277 days for a total civil penalty of $69,250.
Do >> I have a second? >> A second. >> Dyke. >> Yes. >> Any discussion? All right. Ready for a vote? This is a motion to issue a civil penalty in the amount of $250 per day
for $277 days for a total of $69,250. Miss Lane, >> I. >> Mr. Black, >> yes. >> Miss Dyke, >> yes. >> Mr. Wares, >> yes. >> Mr. Aloo. >> I. >> Miss Thompson. >> I. >> That motion carries 6. This commission has issued a civil penalty in the amount
of $250 per day for 277 days for a total of $69,250. The owner leanholder mortgage record have the right to request an amendment within 30 days from the date of this order. The owner leanholder mortgage via record have the right to file an appeal to the Tarant County District Court
