The San Antonio Building Standards Board convened on March 13, 2025, to address several key issues regarding property compliance and zoning violations within the city. The meeting focused on a specific residential property that has been under scrutiny for alleged zoning violations and safety concerns.

The first significant discussion centered on a property being used for commercial purposes, which was identified as a zoning violation since it is located in a residential neighborhood. Board members confirmed that the zoning status of the area had not changed, and the property must adhere to residential regulations.

Further inquiries revealed that electrical services to the property had been disconnected due to safety hazards. It was noted that the owner had been powering a food truck from the residential meter, prompting the city to intervene and cut power on January 2, 2025.

The board also heard from Officer Gomez regarding disturbances reported at the property. However, specific details about the last reported incident were not available during the meeting.

A representative for the property owner, Nathan Kale, addressed the board, asserting that the city had not met the necessary standards for demolishing the property. He emphasized that the property is in good condition, with only minor issues such as damaged siding and electrical problems that could be resolved quickly if the current red tag on the property is lifted. Kale requested that a construction permit be issued to address the electrical issues within 14 days.

The meeting concluded with a focus on ensuring compliance with city codes and addressing safety concerns while balancing the rights of property owners. The board's next steps will likely involve further evaluations of the property and discussions on the necessary permits to facilitate repairs.
