In a recent meeting of the San Antonio Construction Standards Board, significant discussions centered around the inspection of a potentially hazardous structure located at 306 Chipinque, in District 5. The property, owned by Teresa Lomas, has raised concerns due to its deteriorating condition and lack of essential services.

The board reviewed the findings from a March 11, 2025, inspection, which included the presence of police officers to assess the situation. It was confirmed that the property is not eligible for historical designation, which could have provided some protections or benefits. The initial inspection led to a certification on March 17, 2025, but subsequent actions revealed a lack of compliance from the property owner.

By June 18, 2025, the board noted that no engineering reports or work had been completed, and no permits had been issued for repairs. An administrative order was executed on May 29, 2025, requiring the owner to address the issues. The property has been without electricity and water services since May 2022, prompting an evacuation notice due to unsafe living conditions.

This situation highlights ongoing challenges in maintaining building safety and compliance within San Antonio. The board's actions reflect a commitment to addressing hazardous structures and ensuring community safety, but the lack of response from property owners raises questions about enforcement and accountability. As the board continues to monitor this case, the implications for public safety and housing standards in the area remain critical.
