Staff had recommended demolition citing extensive fire, smoke and water damage and long-term interior deterioration.

Ryan Garza, dangerous premises officer, presented photos showing heavy fire, smoke and water damage to ceiling and rafters, collapsed drywall, exposed studs, spongy subflooring and large amounts of trash and debris. Garza said the structure was within 1,000 feet of Washington Irving Dual Language Academy; city contractors had secured the property and San Antonio Police Department personnel had found occupants during earlier inspections.

Owner Orfa Perez Alvarado Lopez appeared with a Spanish interpreter and provided a scope of work and bank statements she said showed funds to repair the house. She described a phased repair plan: structural framing and roof repairs, electrical and plumbing inspections and permits, windows and doors, flooring and trim, and driveway and fence work. She requested more time and estimated a phased timeline that staff and some board members interpreted as about 30–45 days to complete initial work, though she acknowledged permit and inspection timing could extend the schedule.

During deliberation the board discussed whether the owner’s evidence met the statutory burden to show repair feasibility. Two board members—Robert Behnke and Fred Andes—voted against demolition, expressing concern about ordering demo when the owner had presented funds and a scope. The remaining four members voted to demolish. The motion to demolish was made by Robert Tapia and seconded by Doris Solis; roll call produced a 4–2 result in favor of demolition. Staff will proceed with the demolition order and advised the owner of appeal rights and the process for follow-up with code staff.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Antonio - Building Standards Board Aug 07, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board voted 4–2 to demolish 2034 Lyon Street within 30 days despite the owner presenting proof of funds and a stepwise repair plan; two members voted against demolition.","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},6586314,"Board orders demolition of 822 Junior Street; owner says demolition permit process will begin",609,2681000,3290000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545571-921d4c9afb028ce71877e3b7ab684619&start=2681&end=3290","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545571-921d4c9afb028ce71877e3b7ab684619/thumbnail_2681000.jpg","/articles/6586314/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Board-orders-demolition-of-822-Junior-Street-owner-says-demolition-permit-process-will-begin","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6586314-46bc39e8279b4168aff88cb7881ad40c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771033929&Signature=iK9ub4Fl-OQHpSoXK9JIqE-OXIEUsQbBPaOAEE1voC4FVG2LchivgZjtlwRn~z1pzX4ZoA9RgQ7sG5ZbITwtUAQTm9dR2PUVzx-ZHD9Ri9Zk5khdQoG1dfXjE2s~BItL2DhI0izpFGNQ7gmcb2tFcXEmA4el~EGkFaYXX3mCPYuv-hSK4CoSOLmC5K6vQB3rL~cTjqxz3Vde5VdzTOEeo0XGZneKkrfZE-eMOQFLp75yu0Sr3okDcusoiadSbwNjT3BDNA5xuiRsEK0mBY5eFLt3YgF6yWW92HgTGKPQP-43DW0RbvvDY2osYShUrRC4obYadt9BGtDLTRD5LiXLWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Building Standards Board on Aug. 7, 2025, voted 6–0 to demolish the structure at 822 Junior Street, concluding staff’s presentation that the property is not feasible to repair.

Dangerous premises officer Sergio Quintana presented photographic and inspection evidence showing a single-story 1945 residence with deteriorated post-and-beam foundation, broken windows, water and roof deterioration, interior collapse, exposed and rotted structural members, and evidence of vagrant entry. Quintana said no scope of work, financial proof, letter of credit or engineer’s report had been provided as of the hearing and that no active permits were on file as of Aug. 6, 2025.

Armando Terral, representative of Redstone Homes LLC (the owner listed on appraisal district records), appeared at the hearing and told the board Redstone intended to demolish the property and build new construction. Terral said his company would begin the demolition-permit process immediately and has experience completing such projects; staff said the city would unlock the permit process if the owner pulls a demolition permit.

Robert Tapia moved that 822 Junior Street be declared a public nuisance and be demolished within 30 days; Robert Behnke seconded. The motion passed by a 6–0 roll call. The order directs demolition and removal of debris within 30 days; staff said the owner may initiate the demolition permit process immediately and that the city will cooperate to coordinate utility disconnects and permit review.

Quintana said the Office of Historic Preservation found the property not eligible for historic designation. Staff will monitor demolition permitting and coordinate inspections and utility verifications prior to demolition.","The Building Standards Board found 822 Junior Street not feasible to repair and ordered demolition within 30 days; owner Redstone Homes told the board it will begin the demolition-permit process immediately.",{"_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},6586320,"Building Standards Board orders repair of 1335 Brighton Avenue with permits, engineer letter and 30-day progress reports",1109,1793000,2902000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545571-921d4c9afb028ce71877e3b7ab684619&start=1793&end=2902","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545571-921d4c9afb028ce71877e3b7ab684619/thumbnail_1793000.jpg","/articles/6586320/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Building-Standards-Board-orders-repair-of-1335-Brighton-Avenue-with-permits-engineer-letter-and-30-day-progress-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6586320-0701725f835e153ce0b1624789fbb475/orig.mp4?Expires=1771033929&Signature=g7vtEmMvLnzhDSqKQTtLDuAPEdNtmKUSuU89U2BSa2O-xPbYB2YOit-8ehAae97jN-UIFwaBPjbV5WBehmHF52Fp1AzVKDQM3rK2-uy3XFpq9aelFkuFQ6ICuPQYjHrsaAtqTTViHC~N68ayDNp~5hAGGZfjtgJgARv8-u1AQAJFKOx9f~Lft5UQ7by3A6tSuvWIT7wrhsDLlTNx~542s5rxqfUAPqXpnmzTxU5s80mtbOGuuYhCCUfBE8QeZPDoBnaNZaF~Lo8MCJX-1v-cBtuTVJ40lcBodxCpkLM8kGixOW74g97QUeTNp-~1jADQwlAdsYroMWvpLE0b~V26Gw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Building Standards Board on Aug. 7, 2025, ordered repairs for 1335 Brighton Avenue, finding the property feasible for restoration and setting a 90-day deadline from the issuance of the order.

Dangerous premises officer Bergharian Bledsoe presented photographs and inspection findings showing extensive wood-siding deterioration, roof damage, rotted ceiling joists and water damage. Staff recommended the board issue a repair order under City Code Article 8, Chapter 6. Bledsoe told the board that the owner, identified as Feliciano R. Certuche, had that day provided a scope of work and financial proof and had pulled a residential repair permit and a reroof permit after a pre-board conference in April 2025.

The owner, who attended the hearing with a Spanish-language interpreter, said he was performing repairs himself and expected to finish the remaining work in under eight months, including an addition at the rear. Board members asked about permits and whether foundation or engineer approvals had been obtained for the addition; staff and legal explained that a separate foundation permit and an engineer’s letter are required before foundation/foundation-permit approval. Staff also said that unlocking the case and issuing a repair order would allow the owner to continue applying for necessary permits and proceed with inspections.

Robert Behnke moved to order repair rather than demolition and set the completion deadline at 90 days from issuance. Robert Tapia seconded. During amendment and discussion the board required 30-day progress reports, that all required trade permits (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) be pulled, that an engineer’s letter be provided for foundation/footing approval, and that the roofing permit be updated to reflect the full scope if necessary. The motion passed by a 6–0 roll call.

The board’s order allows the owner to continue work with inspections and permits but requires the additional documentation and periodic reports the board specified. Staff will inspect for compliance and return the matter to the board if the owner does not meet the conditions.","The board found 1335 Brighton Avenue feasible to repair and ordered completion within 90 days with required permits, an engineer's letter for foundation work and 30-day progress reports.",{"_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},6586325,"Building Standards Board resets 131 Spats Street case after staff identifies additional owner",1383,342000,1725000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5545571-921d4c9afb028ce71877e3b7ab684619&start=342&end=1725","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5545571-921d4c9afb028ce71877e3b7ab684619/thumbnail_342000.jpg","/articles/6586325/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Building-Standards-Board-resets-131-Spats-Street-case-after-staff-identifies-additional-owner","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6586325-431a98a4104445c702169ff7b7930f40/orig.mp4?Expires=1771033929&Signature=Ut2t1-7Zh~59XxH0oIa~yXZXG79vzaX~aBtPHTZGbGYmKNREw3YqF9DLpSsZFUN6ZihKrSVZH0qJs-oXaUDywRxoEVDDrC7bk~XvTeESdDMM7N2N1Xcg~Ljk07CfIpjn~E8BbsWuXWTk4FczFuSvnmv302rWG8V7WztDNytDg9O5Po6jWZFijlEXlHJHSq~ZImgba4QcXwrlbTQEG94q1OW4pfMCMU6zxJRlIR6cyQyFrTRxmqkbpJMm5EJ5SvK6~GO~qWOUi-WlYDGNIrsaBD6GlfI9ma9c2JcwyXULEfI9heKR56Aw-tbj4h1p8R8GLGUYjOcHaWGiAv~PY2URqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Antonio Building Standards Board on Aug. 7, 2025, voted to reset consideration of 131 Spats Street after staff told the board a partial owner may not have been notified of the public hearing.

Crystal Towne, dangerous premises officer with the City of San Antonio Development Services Department, had opened the case and described inspections and notices related to the property and recommended demolition. Daniel Trejo (identified as the deceased owner’s son), San Antonio Police Department Officer Joe Pena and attorney Paul Burgess were present to speak on behalf of the property during the hearing. Towne told the board that a certified return receipt for the mailed notice had not been returned and that the Office of Historic Preservation found the property ineligible for historic designation.

During the presentation staff reported that additional research suggested a partial owner had not been previously notified. City legal staff advised that because the board had already begun the presentation, it must formally continue the case to allow additional notice to any parties of interest. The board then took a motion to continue the case rather than adjudicate it at the same hearing.

Robert Behnke moved to reset the case until further notice; Robert Tapia seconded. The board voted 6–0 to reset the matter for further notice. No demolition or repair order was issued at this meeting. The board directed staff to re-notify any owners and bring the case back when proper notice has been completed.

Because the hearing was reset, no final determination on repair or demolition was made and no deadlines were imposed at this meeting. The case will return to a future Building Standards Board docket after staff completes additional notice and confirms parties of interest have been given the mandated opportunities to respond.","The Building Standards Board continued consideration of 131 Spats Street after staff notified the board that an additional partial owner may not have been notified; the board voted to reset the hearing until further notice.","actionData","errors"]
