The Board of Works set dates and directed staff to follow up on several code-enforcement cases during the Dec. 4, 2025 meeting, including deadlines for inspections, demolition rescind conditions and contractor coordination.
For 51 Webb, staff said a demolition inspection was scheduled for Friday at noon and that photos and an inspection report would be produced; the board set a status date of Dec. 18, 2025, to review the report and to move forward with a rehab agreement if the owner pursues rehabilitation. Mr. Sorey (identified in the record as the property owner and president of Bridal Group Investors Inc.) told the board the property will be his priority and said he had previously invested in roof and HVAC work prior to COVID-related delays.
Regarding 913 Bauer (personal-property removal), the board reported that Toro Junk Removal contractor Ben Peralta intends to start the removal once weather allows. Staff emphasized the need to preserve a specific evergreen tree and a brick walking path; the contractor said he understands those constraints. The board set a two-week status check for Dec. 18, 2025, to update on progress.
For 6126 Harrison, final plumbing and mechanical inspections had passed and remaining items such as handrails and siding were scheduled to be corrected within about a week; the board set a status date of Dec. 18, 2025, and reminded the owner to contact the city with any issues. For 1933 Maiden Lane, owner Lorenzo Dimas reported interior work in progress and the board set a status date of Feb. 12, 2026 to verify completion.
Mister Sorey told the board, "It's gonna be my priority house," when asked about 51 Webb's rehabilitation timeline. Staff said costs required to rescind demo orders will be communicated to owners as part of the follow-up process. The board approved the status dates and will revisit each property on the indicated schedule.
