San Antonio's Building Standards Board convened on May 1, 2025, to address the fate of a property located at 1538 West Craig Place, which is under consideration for demolition due to safety concerns. This case marks the second hearing for the property, which has been under scrutiny since a 180-day repair order was issued on May 2, 2024.

Christie Garza, a dangerous premises officer from the city's development services department, presented the case, confirming that all necessary notifications for the hearing were properly issued. The property, owned by Eugene and Rachel Ramirez, has been deemed ineligible for historic designation by the office of historic preservation as of December 11, 2023.

The initial inspection of the property took place on May 9, 2023, with subsequent notices sent to the owners throughout the following months. Despite the ongoing process, no plans for repairs or permits have been filed, raising concerns about the property's condition. Financial proof of means to address the issues was submitted by the owners, but no detailed scope of work or engineer's report has been provided.

The board's decision on the demolition will have significant implications for the neighborhood, as the property has been a point of concern for local safety. The next steps will depend on the board's ruling, which aims to ensure the safety and well-being of the community surrounding West Craig Place.
