The San Antonio Construction Standards Board convened on March 13, 2025, to address significant concerns regarding a property located at 231 Branch Valley Drive. The meeting focused on a detailed inspection report that highlighted numerous violations of building codes and safety regulations.

The inspection, conducted at night due to reported late-night activities, revealed that the property owner had been hosting parties and serving alcohol without proper permits. The inspector presented a series of photographs illustrating various structural issues, including broken windows and unauthorized modifications to the building. Notably, a privacy fence was erected without the necessary permissions, and there were significant electrical and plumbing installations that also lacked approval.

The inspector noted that the property had been converted into a bar area, with a wall built in front of the garage to facilitate this change. Additionally, the inspection uncovered unsafe electrical practices, including the use of clandestine wiring. The property was deemed hazardous, with concerns raised about its suitability for habitation due to health and safety risks.

Evidence was presented showing that food was being sold from the property, which is prohibited in a residential area. The inspector reported finding food items that were improperly stored, raising further health concerns. The owner had also advertised events on social media, indicating ongoing commercial activities despite the lack of compliance with local regulations.

The board discussed the implications of these findings, emphasizing the need for immediate action to address the violations. The property was classified as a dangerous structure, posing risks to community safety. The meeting concluded without further questions, and the board indicated that follow-up actions would be necessary to ensure compliance and protect public health.
