During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the deteriorating condition of a property located at 801 South Seguin, which has raised concerns among local residents and business owners. The property, currently zoned for commercial use, has been the subject of multiple inspections revealing significant neglect and unauthorized access.

Evidence presented during the meeting indicated that a trailer previously located on the property has been removed, suggesting that individuals have been entering the premises and taking items. The building itself remains unsecured, with a window covered by a towel, indicating that someone may be staying inside. The property has accumulated debris and trash, further contributing to its dilapidated state.

Local business owner Odie expressed urgency for the property to be demolished within the next 30 days, citing its proximity to his restaurant and the negative impact its condition has on the area. He emphasized that the property should have been boarded up following a demolition order issued by the fire chief, which was intended to prevent unauthorized entry.

Another participant, Mr. Vasquez, acknowledged the long-standing neglect of the property, attributing its condition to previous tenants who were hoarders. He noted that while he had attempted to clean up the site, the property had been in disrepair for many years, and code enforcement had missed opportunities to address the issues sooner.

Building official Will Darnfel was present to provide insights into the situation, highlighting the need for a coordinated response to ensure the property is secured and ultimately demolished. The discussions underscored the ongoing challenges of managing abandoned properties and the importance of timely action to protect community safety and aesthetics.
