The San Antonio Building Standards Board convened on May 1, 2025, to address significant safety concerns regarding a property located at 510 Brookview Drive Number 4. The meeting began with procedural clarifications, noting the absence of the property owner, Peggy Mullins, who had walked out prior to the discussions.

Crystal Towne, a dangerous premise officer from the city’s development services department, presented the case for the property, which has been recommended for demolition due to safety violations. The board was informed that a collaborative inspection involving multiple city departments, including the San Antonio Police Department, had taken place on May 14, 2024. The property was found to be in violation of city codes, prompting the current proceedings.

The legal description of the property was detailed, and it was confirmed that the Office of Historic Preservation had deemed it ineligible for historic designation. The board learned that the initial inspection occurred on May 13, 2024, and that notices regarding the violations had been sent to Mullins, with some receipts returned unclaimed.

During the meeting, it was revealed that Mullins had previously engaged her son to assist with a demolition permit application, which he later withdrew for unknown reasons. Despite plans to demolish the main structure and remove a mobile home and metal shed, no action had been taken by the property owner.

The board was informed that a notice to vacate had been posted on May 22, 2024, due to electrical hazards, and that the property is situated within 1,000 feet of an elementary school, raising further safety concerns.

The meeting concluded with the board considering the evidence presented and the implications of the ongoing safety issues at the property. Further actions and decisions regarding the demolition and compliance with city codes are expected to follow in subsequent meetings.
