The Building Standards Board voted 6-0 to order demolition within 30 days unless the owners demonstrate a repair plan and financial ability to complete work.

Christi Garza, Dangerous Premises official for the Development Services Department, told the board the property has been before the board previously, received 180 days for repairs after the May 2023 fire, and has not produced permits, engineering reports or proof of available financing. Staff noted that water and electrical service are not active and that the site contains debris and interior fire damage extending through multiple rooms.

Rachel Ramírez, speaking for owner Eugene Ramírez, said the family lived in the house and has been pursuing funding and contractors to do the roof first and then the interior repairs. Ramírez said she and the owner had applied to a city housing program and to external loan sources, that a $40,000 insurance check had been obtained in July 2023 and used for materials, and that contractor communication and medical emergencies had delayed work. The owner’s representative asked for an extension; staff told the owners the board’s typical practice is to permit a short extension only when accompanied by a bond or a clear timeline and financing documentation.

A representative for Carrington Mortgage appeared and said the lender’s interest is in making repairs rather than demolition. Board members discussed options and staff recommended a maximum extension of 60–90 days with a bond if the board believed repairs were viable; otherwise staff recommended demolition.

After discussion the board voted to order demolition within 30 days, to disconnect utilities and secure the property, with the motion recorded 6-0. Board members told the owners how to appeal the order and how to coordinate with staff on any documented, time-bound repair proposal and proof of funds if they wish to avoid demolition.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Junta de Normas de Construcción - May 01, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Inspectors described extensive fire damage and structural collapse at 1538 West Creek Place.

Jamie Jasso and other City of San Antonio inspectors outlined a timeline of notices dating to March 2024 and multiple outreach efforts; staff said the property is not eligible for historic designation and that several accessory structures on the lot contain evidence of occupation, hazardous wiring and collapsing roofs.

Officer Levens, San Antonio Police Department, described recurring calls for service to the property dating back to mid-2023 including shootings, fires, trespass and reports of open burning. He told the board neighbors reported vehicles and persons entering and leaving at all hours and that officers had recovered occupants with outstanding arrest warrants at the site.

Staff recommended demolition of the principal house and all accessory structures, disconnection of utilities and removal of debris. The board’s motion, adopted 6-0, ordered demolition within 30 days, disconnection of all services, securing the site and removal of all trash and debris. The motion listed the code subsections relied upon and directed staff to proceed with abatement if the owner did not comply.

Board members discussed the property’s multiple accessory structures and the public-safety risk posed by the condition and by recurring criminal complaints. Staff said the parcel contains separate meters for several structures and noted past efforts to secure the property, to place evacuation notices and to provide outreach services through housing and veterans’ programs.

The owner or a representative had not presented a repair plan or proof of financial ability to perform repairs as of the hearing. Staff told the owner and interested parties how to appeal the order and how to coordinate with Development Services for demolition schedules and potential abatement costs.

The board also approved procedural items and scheduled follow-up for enforcement as part of the Department’s standard process.","The Building Standards Board voted 6-0 to declare 136 Enrique Street a public nuisance and ordered demolition of the principal structure and accessory buildings within 30 days after staff described extensive structural decay and multiple occupied accessory units.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6577115,"San Antonio board orders repairs and temporary evacuation for 510 Brookview Drive after inspectors cite electrical, structural hazards",4105,481000,4586000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3172719-49f7b40eb1abd3b755a153fa92958170&start=481&end=4586","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3172719-49f7b40eb1abd3b755a153fa92958170/thumbnail_481000.jpg","/articles/6577115/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/San-Antonio-board-orders-repairs-and-temporary-evacuation-for-510-Brookview-Drive-after-inspectors-cite-electrical-structural-hazards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577115-3744e510b8a26a90d280a19dcd65e98d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770897321&Signature=Y~aqFq9TS2QLPrr55SM5ChSorB7v3~CcsloamXUSh3GKMtswWw50v80tbBIbQXV9OrEuPusMOoufLT8DXGCTBA-JyznaXlvHf05lcI-RR63ZOSfcxFllZ8mxeX6i-i5-ZAwwL4esRQfGGuUcvD7mr55zc-YonzW0Aigt69g~b8STBI2w0Cbn677WA9-kky-HMHbjAXJfphjoQkJrapqjjSH2EolXlb2rGU5Pb8Ob-NSAQkmIrBeO42VJBRiViWfyv22sQLH9l9POupWBR9-rWxTvgmrP8oHB4rUyH5367YniA-6Nwlqyd4PPvNZiKYkAQxgYC6QVl34DRuiFe-PhTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Building Standards Board on May 1 ordered repairs and a temporary evacuation for the property at 510 Brookview Drive (unit 4), citing exposed wiring, deteriorated windows and structural decay that inspectors described as a danger to life and safety.

The board’s action follows an inspection report presented by Ramiro Guerra, code enforcement supervisor for the City of San Antonio’s Development Services Department, who described open electrical junction boxes, exposed wires and a worn, potentially hazardous electrical installation. Guerra said inspectors found boarded windows, rotten framing and evidence that occupants were using portable generators after the property’s electric service had been shut off.

“This is what concerned us most because it’s a life-and-safety hazard,” Guerra said during the hearing.

Police officers assigned to the area told the board the property has been the source of recurring calls for service, including reports of drug activity, assaults and a homicide investigation that connected the location to a missing-person case. Officer Jean Flores, San Antonio Police Department Security Unit, said officers have removed people living inside the structures and that neighbors have reported fear and continual disturbances.

Owner Peggy Mullins (sometimes recorded as Mullens) told the board she lives in the rear structure on the lot, that she has applied for financing and contractors to make repairs, and that family members were assisting. Mullins said she had sought a loan and was waiting for approval for roof and electrical work. She also said she had located estimates for some electrical repairs.

Several neighbors and community members urged stronger action. Ruby Regalado and other neighbors recounted a missing-person and homicide investigation linked to the parcel and said ongoing criminal activity and visible damage made the property unsafe for nearby residents and children who walk in the area.

After hearing staff recommendations and public comment, the board voted on a motion that formally found the property in violation of San Antonio’s Property Maintenance Code (sections cited in the record) and ordered the owner to complete required repairs with permits within 45 days. The final order included direction that the structure be evacuated until the electrical hazards and other specified repairs are completed and the code official is satisfied. The motion passed 6-0.

The board’s written findings recorded multiple code subsections as the basis for its action, and staff said photos and inspection notes will be added to the official file. Staff also told the board that some citations dated to inspections in May 2024 and January 2025, and that extensions had been issued previously.

The board noted the distinction between the principal structure and accessory structures on the lot; staff said some accessory structures contain separate meters and evidence of occupant use. City staff recommended, and the board ordered, that all utilities be disconnected and the property secured as part of the remediation plan until repairs are complete.

The owner and other interested parties were told how to appeal the board’s order and to work with Development Services staff about timelines, permits and available outreach services.

The board also approved the minutes for the meeting at the start of the session, 6-0.","The Building Standards Board found the property at 510 Brookview Drive in violation of city maintenance codes and ordered repairs with permits and temporary evacuation until electrical and other hazards are addressed.
