Concerns over a vacant property in San Antonio took center stage during the recent Junta de Normas de Construcción meeting, highlighting issues of homelessness, safety, and community impact. The discussion revealed that a house, previously occupied by a disabled woman and her daughter, has become a hotspot for illegal activities and transient individuals.

The property, located near a busy street, has been evacuated, but reports indicate that it remains frequented by homeless individuals. A local resident noted that the house has been empty due to its association with crime, including drug use and prostitution. "There have been 71 calls over two years related to noise, narcotics, and disturbances," said Mereth Rodríguez from the East Unit, emphasizing the ongoing issues that have plagued the neighborhood.

Despite attempts to address the situation, including police interventions to evict occupants, the property continues to attract unwanted attention. Neighbors expressed concern about children entering and exiting the house, raising alarms about safety in the area.

The meeting also touched on potential interest from family members in reclaiming the property, but no formal requests or documentation have been submitted. As discussions continue, community leaders are urged to find a solution that prioritizes safety and addresses the needs of both the residents and the homeless population. The situation remains fluid, with further actions anticipated as stakeholders work towards a resolution.
