F

G

I think somebody came during the week to get the permits and I told him that I needed to come, but since I I I couldn't make it like I'm here at the meeting, so I'll probably be here tomorrow to get the permit. I have all my paperwork because I haven't you know, put the.

B

Were you aware that the house was in the process of being demolished.

G

They had already the the guy that sold me. The property told me that he had uh gotten a letter, and I came here last week to see about the letter because he told me that he was probably gonna be sued and I told, and I came in and I spoke to mr odo school and he told me it was about you know, demolishing the property so yeah, I'm aware of it and I'm going to take care of it this week.

G

Do you already have a contractor selected to do the demolition uh yeah? My husband got a gun and he came and they told him that I needed to come and uh and.

B

The reason for that is, we don't want just anybody saying I'm gonna be modest, just how they wait. Yeah.

G

Yeah, no, I understand that's why I brought my paperwork to see if I could get the permit like right now as as I was coming over here, but they told me all that I had to come tomorrow.

G

No, I know I don't need nothing because practically I bought the the whole piece to get uh to make apartments so yeah.

G

So they just cut it this weekend, yeah.

H

I'd like to make a motion and close the public comment section all right.

H

I don't know I mean, I know we always.

F

Push the lesson for them just in case.

F

That's my suggestion.

I

B

You know, if you don't do it within 30 days, we're gonna. Do it.

D

Because it's been there.

B

For a long time, and so on, yeah.

H

If not, then we move.

B

And that means that, as long as you get a permit, the account stops because that's only how it works I'll see you with the kitchen. Okay, thank.

G

J

G

Thank thank you. Thank.

J

H

I was just receiving yeah.

F

F

Well, she's, representing, uh I think, she's the daughter of god.

D

F

F

Your case to the board and then we're going to have a few minutes to comment. Okay,.

J

A

Yes, consideration and possible action on the property of anything else.

A

764 western division, undivided interest property, is commonly known as 2815 convent this property as an instance, in accordance with the current adoption ordinance 2013 dashboard at 0.45 article 1, section 24-1.4, chapter 16, section 16.552122,.

A

H I 2 3 2 r and 2 3 2. U city staff recommends a demolition of this uh of this structure.

C

And for january 2021 to send situation officers just uh on the abandoned residence and there's been a total of four reports throughout those searching calls.

C

uh Mr clinton reported that southern freshman uh someone struck his vehicle during an expense at the location back in 2010 uh damage to the vehicle back up on the tournament and without reporting back in.

C

H

House has been being used for, like yeah people have been squatting their face exactly. um I guess that's where she's done.

J

J

J

J

H

So they took out a permit, they took a partial permit.

B

To demolish what uh the front the front end of the house, but they never.

A

Know the voluntary room to cut the main stretcher from the main entrance.

A

December 2018.

D

H

Do you have anything else to add.

H

I

I

I

E

J

E

E

C

Officers have gone to check the abandoned home. They actually found people using it as a shelter. There was people back there living or were staying there at one point numerous times. I believe your father has filed three reports, including damage to his vehicle to his property. At one point,.

C

He related to you.

C

Yes, back in 2014.

J

C

C

No, he would be called to report somebody a 28 year old male, I don't. We don't have the name, the the reason cause being that that somebody was uh or some someone was using, that abandoned home as a shelter. Do you know about that? This was yours.

J

This is the first time we hear about that.

C

Okay, so those are the calls that we have in our system regarding 2015.

F

That house is practically falling apart, but part of the part of the wall of the house is it's actually falling.

F

J

He's an elderly, he doesn't have the money to do it, so what else can be done? He doesn't have no money.

H

I guess what we're saying is that when we issue this demo over the demo to clean up that property, your your father doesn't have to pay anything. The only thing is there will be a lien on the house, so the minute you decide to sell the property. Well then, that's where that's, where that that money would come from.

H

Well, I mean the option was to demo it, but you're telling me that he doesn't have the money to demo it that's the problem.

J

If you give us the permission to demo, it will take whatever is falling down already.

J

We can do it on our own without having the city to come in and.

H

If we gave you 30 days to get the permit, would that be enough time to get a permit.

J

30 days, no sure because he's sick right now he's.

D

Barely getting.

H

J

H

I'm not saying I'm not saying to to get it demoed in 30 days, I'm just saying to come, get the permit in the next 30 days, which is good for surgery.

J

H

Good for six months.

J

Oh, I see okay, that will work. Okay,.

H

So what we're gonna do is this we're gonna we're gonna.

H

Okay, so so we're going to issue the demo order, but it's going to be on hold for 30 days. So as long as he gets the permit within the next 30 days, then we're good, okay. Okay! Now I understand there's also some some abandoned vehicles there and- and I don't know if we'd like you know all that needs to get cleaned up as well.

J

Yes, we understand, we, we have a court standing for that in november.

H

Yeah, okay, all right! Well, uh um thank you for your time levels we're going to go ahead and make a decision now.

J

What do you think that we need to do.

F

You can do it online on our website. You can come by our offices. You can speak with mr ruler, who is a supervisor for the push 1413 houston street. It's the san, diego.

H

City building department, building the building development services department.

J

I

J

Okay- and we have up to 30 days to get that permit.

H

J

H

But just remember that if.

F

If you're unable to to get the permit, um we we need to proceed with the demolition work ourselves.

F

Okay, so hopefully you can get that permit within those 30 days and and then they march the house within six months after that,.

D

H

Okay, um I'd like to make a motion to close and hold it.

H

I guess I'll make the motion to proceed with the demolition order um and give the owner 30 days to get a demo appointment, if not we'll follow with the demolition demonstration.

I

Thank you. Thank you.

J

B

Then so we do have procedures that are recommended by legal, particularly those that do not. We did not get a response after we determine that. It's good for demo we'll go to the web county and file it. So that way anybody does a lean record or to look at the record.

B

They can see that there is something going on, because currently what happens is in the meantime, while we're doing this process, like the lady sells the property.

D

B

If he didn't, if she had to come forward, they don't let him know and so then we'll go and tear it down. And today nobody told me but yeah, but look you bought the house absolutely already.
