Ryan Garza, dangerous premises officer, summarized staff findings including extensive fire, smoke and water damage and exposed, charred rafters, joists and ceiling members. Garza said no scope of work, proof of funds, letter of credit or engineer’s report had been provided and that the property is not eligible for historic designation. Garza recommended demolition under City Code Article 8, Chapter 6.

Solomon Franklin and Ornan Franklin, sons of the property owner Charles A. Franklin (deceased), told the board they had obtained clear title and sought six months to market the lot to builders or otherwise raise funds to rebuild. \"We would like to get six months, and I don't mind personal reporting, giving reports every 30 days to let you know where we are,\" Solomon Franklin said. He also said the family had arranged a title company to clear ownership and believed parts of the structure might be salvageable.

Boardmembers noted the property's hazardous condition and the time elapsed since the fire; several members asked what proof of funds or concrete timeline the family could provide. After discussion, Boardmember Robert Tapia moved to declare the property a public nuisance and order demolition within 30 days; Robert Behnke seconded and the board voted 5-0.

Staff told the family they could coordinate with the assigned code officer but the board emphasized the immediate public‑safety considerations that supported a 30‑day demolition order.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Building Standards Board Jun 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Building Standards Board voted 5-0 to declare 1815 Adamson Drive a public nuisance and ordered demolition within 30 days despite owners' requests for a six‑month window to clear title and market the property.","taxTitle","San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas","taxId",2771,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533629,"Board approves demolition of fire‑damaged residence at 3511 El Paso St.",1704,4920000,6624000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684366-94d7faabd5bdf1f958991c2567e22db1&start=4920&end=6624","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684366-94d7faabd5bdf1f958991c2567e22db1/thumbnail_4920000.jpg","/articles/6533629/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Board-approves-demolition-of-firedamaged-residence-at-3511-El-Paso-St","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533629-cb52cd1eeff448990b4cbfe79d7a4c1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141102&Signature=lZpMOKEU00kSXjjAQavBJognFyryadEGCv6V2maO~CVkOIsxYE7xMvk1e79DY3A6kUEsj1uTAFUcRX6Jz1dVgpNTYZ9FVDr7k4oLyE6Cz8enhWSH0M-7y7F4wdQCjFPl~SF3~dIp1JJm0xlXcE-2yaq20~ieM3OI3VG4zTvfV0bMxq~u7lRx2O7sDmkr~JEs~l6aJ2UyvTm-6naMCythjXVMVhlFSchIznI6T-IQu1sMSKttz5Nip~zEssU3Pq1PYEmXK3E5Z78zWEqdXSXVW016LSn~JwlxqCjb6AQ8af2b-OWJn-u0cnqQVwpKdWD6nPFzOt3HfL1lUendM1Xtbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Building Standards Board voted unanimously Thursday to order demolition of the property at 3511 El Paso Street within 30 days after staff described significant fire, smoke and structural damage.

Bergarian Bledsoe, dangerous premises officer, presented photos showing missing exterior walls, charred studs, detached and missing ceiling decking and smoke-damaged interior finishes. Bledsoe said no scope of work, proof of funds, letter of credit, engineer's report or active permits were on file as of the June 5 hearing and recommended demolition under City Code Article 8, Chapter 6.

Owner José Castro appeared and told the board he had completed foundation work and said he planned to demolish the burned portion and preserve the foundation for a new house. \"Since I already did the foundation, I think the best way to go is to demolish the house, demo the house, and just trying to save the foundation and make a new house,\" Castro said.

Boardmember Robert Behnke moved to declare the property a public nuisance and order demolition within 30 days; the motion, seconded by boardmember Robert Tapia, passed on a recorded 5-0 vote. The order required the property be cleared of trash and debris and reiterated owners’ appeal rights under the code.

Staff noted the structure is a single‑story residence built in 1942 and that it is within 1,000 feet of Advanced San Antonio Child Development Center; staff also reported prior permits for foundation work and a reroof that had not been completed. The board's order sets a 30‑day timeline for demolition or documented progress consistent with the order.","The Building Standards Board voted 5-0 to demolish a fire-damaged home at 3511 El Paso Street after staff documented extensive smoke and structural damage; the owner was present and said he prefers to demolish and reuse the foundation for a new house.",{"_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},6533632,"Board orders demolition of former tire shop at 5522 Gavilan Drive amid asbestos, permit questions",1573,3387000,4960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684366-94d7faabd5bdf1f958991c2567e22db1&start=3387&end=4960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684366-94d7faabd5bdf1f958991c2567e22db1/thumbnail_3387000.jpg","/articles/6533632/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Board-orders-demolition-of-former-tire-shop-at-5522-Gavilan-Drive-amid-asbestos-permit-questions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533632-e1832d556affff9e40fff1bdad28b413/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141102&Signature=S7q0F9RhJtkXSXckzmEl2Nmli7Zak8c6XD5-vwOVFX2Dy9-0Q8YkXHvFx3JwjkUolUi~3SNTo5CmiyzlVQgWPU87qjXRUBGCr3mNYTgc0odLTzrLyx0x9NpVbOjbvZo2tUpIZ0GtVUPTEKLXFUPFf4ppTT3wzcdnNDIHYE61YKXiD1lXb9kg2H-V9KsHP5RD1gZpV4XhT~Qx-xy6a5L47YDsvT3akIaaGPjKQm78D0KoastpbXYSz0SJea1OAJBJ7ohF1u7c7te~kvhyT5nGOfQVr97SiX3xH96vMAWREasIbx8PJc-fuM47mTGKn2zFULeOHN1c4g~mm9RHihiYvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Building Standards Board voted 5-0 to order demolition of structures at 5522 Gavilan Drive (also cited as 5642/5647 Old Pearsall Road) within 30 days after staff presented photos of a partially collapsed commercial building and detached accessory structure.

Jaime Hassell, dangerous premises officer, told the board the main building and accessory structure have collapsed or partially collapsed roof members, exposed and rotted wood and missing siding; staff said a demolition permit is active but no scope of work, proof of funds, letter of credit or engineer’s report had been provided as of the hearing. The property was described as formerly a tire repair shop and is located within about 1,000 feet of Idea Brackenridge Elementary School, staff said.

Owner René Salazar told the board he obtained permits and a demolition contractor, and that an asbestos report came back positive; he said the state is requiring asbestos abatement and has limited the contractor’s ability to proceed. \"The asbestos report came positive,\" Salazar said, and he described efforts to obtain required abatement before demolition.

Board discussion included clarification that the staff's condition list incorrectly labeled building identifiers (staff corrected \"Building 2\" in the record) and confirmation that utilities had been disconnected. Legal counsel reminded the board to focus the hearing on whether the property is a dangerous structure; the board's order did so and directed demolition within 30 days.

Boardmember (name not specified in the record) moved to declare the property a public nuisance and to order demolition within 30 days; the motion was seconded and passed 5-0 after a friendly amendment to correct the building designation in the record. Staff told the owner he could coordinate next steps with his code officer.

The owner asked the board about emergency demolition to bypass state asbestos requirements; legal cautioned that emergency-demolition claims are sometimes used tactically and that asbestos and deconstruction/abatement requirements remain subject to state rules. The board's action requires demolition and removal of debris but does not waive state asbestos rules.","The Building Standards Board ordered demolition of structures at 5522 Gavilan Drive (aka 5642/5647 Old Pearsall Road) within 30 days; the owner said an active demolition permit exists but state asbestos rules are affecting timing.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533636,"Board allows owner 30 days to deconstruct or demolish 1322 Roosevelt Ave.; order references deconstruction code",1900,1471000,3371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3684366-94d7faabd5bdf1f958991c2567e22db1&start=1471&end=3371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3684366-94d7faabd5bdf1f958991c2567e22db1/thumbnail_1471000.jpg","/articles/6533636/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Board-allows-owner-30-days-to-deconstruct-or-demolish-1322-Roosevelt-Ave-order-references-deconstruction-code","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533636-9f25e21410129eb0d40129569d0784bf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141102&Signature=PtyGNVfAU2c2hKGHh8Zv6kierIykz~nQDBMx12pXj34yVKpGgBVXp-n09XKDDV2QGgfmErbd4pRllj~7SWTwNfCImDGNzHznQzQUosIifPXEUX0FaYhH8dowQXklf0lWBxxK-5Cj90RiDB4Vz1w7NYKoBF3otX~fu4QlPRHzGb2cGYqZnWgR6lCVNlJrMKE3-S5lNO4EiD01Dbv5ddnTMPY70mvmo81EcK~wgNNBXLp2YPcXwPmJq0V4qEA7qBhLTs3V63mgmSvCbC8MfBvisQU1nks3MZ6KGcX~-ks-mDDMbjmIMbDDJyEz0ImJVW~fDB5Pxw~0THQy-nQaAjscaw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Building Standards Board voted 5-0 to order removal of the structure at 1322 Roosevelt Avenue within 30 days and to note that the property is subject to the city's deconstruction requirements.

Ryan Garza, dangerous premises officer for Development Services, presented photographs and a timeline showing the structure’s deterioration and water damage and said no scope of work, proof of funds, letter of credit or engineer’s report had been provided; he recommended demolition under City Code Article 8, Chapter 6. Garza also said the Office of Historic Preservation had previously determined the property was not eligible for historic designation (08/23/2024) but later sent notice that deconstruction requirements applied under a newer ordinance.

Owner Kenji Delkumar and his son, Yogesh (who spoke at the hearing), told the board they had contracted for removal and that a contractor attempted to pull a permit but was blocked by the permit office after the hearing was scheduled. \"We have a contract in place along with, a check that was issued to him,\" Yogesh Delkumar told the board.

Board discussion focused on whether to permit the owners to perform deconstruction themselves or to order city demolition. Legal staff advised that if the property is subject to the deconstruction ordinance the board's order must reflect that; legal also said the order can be written to require demolition while noting deconstruction rules apply. A point of discussion was whether the contractor was certified to perform deconstruction; staff said they would confirm the contractor's Office of Historic Preservation deconstruction certification before permits issue.

Boardmember Robert Behnke moved to give the owners an opportunity to deconstruct the property under the deconstruction code within 30 days; the motion was seconded and the board voted 5-0. Legal instructed staff to record the order using demolition wording while indicating the property is subject to the deconstruction code, a formulation the board directed staff to use.

The order cited City Code Article 8, Chapter 6, and listed the subsections staff identified as violations. The board's action preserves the city's deconstruction requirements and gives the owner the opportunity to complete removal with the contractor, subject to confirmation of deconstruction certification and permit issuance.","The board voted unanimously to require removal of the structure at 1322 Roosevelt Avenue within 30 days, and the order explicitly notes the property is subject to the city's deconstruction requirements; owners said they had a contractor and contract but encountered a permit 'block.'",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533640,"Building Standards Board orders demolition of 910 N.

Dangerous premises officer Crystal Towne, with the City of San Antonio Development Services Department, told the board the property has had multiple fires and significant structural and smoke damage and that no scope of work, proof of funds, letter of credit or permits had been provided. \"Staff recommends demolition,\" Towne said.

The recommendation noted three fires recorded at the address — on Feb. 17, 2023; July 30, 2023; and Jan. 23, 2024 — and photographs showing charred studs and roof decking, missing walls and interior debris. Towne said the structure is being used by people experiencing homelessness and that an administrative warrant was executed May 5, 2025, to obtain photos for the record. The property is within 1,000 feet of Crockett Academy, staff said.

Officer Willie Scott of the San Antonio Police Department's Central Safe unit described a two‑year call history at the location involving disturbances, burglaries, fights, narcotics calls and the fires Towne cited. \"The calls pretty much, pertain to disturbances, burglaries, fights, narcotic laws and the fires that were mentioned,\" Scott said, and he told the board officers have filed a criminal trespass affidavit for the site.

At the hearing, Boardmember Robert Tapia moved to declare the property a public nuisance and order demolition within 30 days; Robert Behnke seconded. The board recorded a 5-0 vote to demolish and to require the site be secured and cleared of trash and debris.

The order cited City Code Article 8, Chapter 6 (Section 6-156 subsections cited by staff) as the statutory basis for declaring the building dangerous and ordering abatement.

Property owners on the record were noted as not present for the hearing; staff said certified mailings and posted notices were sent as required. The board's order allows property owners to pursue appeals through civil district court as provided in the code.

The board moved on to its next case after recording the demolition order.","The San Antonio Building Standards Board voted unanimously to demolish a fire-damaged structure at 910 North Navidad Street within 30 days after staff described repeated fires, charred structural members and ongoing trespass by unhoused people.","actionData","errors"]
