The San Antonio Construction Standards Board convened on July 3, 2025, to address significant public safety concerns regarding two properties deemed hazardous. The meeting focused on the potential demolition of structures that failed to meet safety codes.

The first property discussed was located at 244 del Horse. Board members unanimously agreed to a motion for its demolition within 30 days, citing that the structure could not be repaired according to the relevant code sections. The decision was made with a vote of 5-0, emphasizing the urgency of ensuring the property is vacated and secured.

The second property under review was at 2535 Schlide Avenue. Elisa Valdez, the code implementation supervisor, presented the case, noting that the owner, Edelmira Pérez Menéndez, was not present. The board recommended demolition based on findings from inspections conducted in July 2024, which revealed that the property did not meet historical designation requirements and had not undergone necessary repairs since initial notices were issued.

The board highlighted that the main structure had previously been demolished due to a fire, leaving only an accessory structure that was also in disrepair. Photographic evidence from inspections in March and June 2025 supported the recommendation for demolition.

The meeting underscored the board's commitment to public safety and adherence to building codes, ensuring that hazardous structures are addressed promptly to protect the community.
