Zoning Hearing Board - Regular Meeting

Here is Mr. Urquitz.

Here is Mr. Spike. Mr. Taylor. Certa. Peterson. Certa. King. Mr. Ullig. Mr. Horton. Present. Mr. President, we have a quorum.

Thank you. Next, the act of August 12 is approved. Is there any correction or amendment?

Motion to accept. Second. All in favor?

Me. The motion is approved. Agreed. Now we will open the turn of comments to the public. Is there a public comment?

My name is Minister Lauren Culley.

I received a notification from Sniper about the assignment or expropriation of my property.

This problem should have been resolved a long time ago. 2023. Can you hear me? It should have been resolved in 2023. The complaint was about the foundations. I put a permit here to put a fence around those foundations. The city gave me the permit. I complied. We continue here making the same mess. There is no danger for security with that fence around my foundations. No more danger than a fence around a junkyard. Now we are dealing with some problems here. All of you moved away from me because I attacked Iron City Square. I'm better prepared to show money laundering fraud and everything else that leads to the project of 10 snipers here. Now, I'm here to tell you that I'm here. They attacked me twice. So this time I'm here to declare war. however you want to do it. No one is exempt. Even the last one of you who votes against me staying with my property is an objective, not a threat. It's a promise. I don't care if you're black. I don't care if you're white. I don't care if you're Hispanic. I don't care who you are. My property complied with this permission to put a fence around it. It seems that everyone wants to ignore this because my lawn is tall. Because I cut a tree and I took my time to get it out of the property. I'm a busy man like you guys. Union Square is not finished yet and I was going through problems at this time of 2023. Iron Square is not finished yet and they keep wasting money. Now they listen to me but they don't want to listen to me. I say that the scandals that they have in their backyard seem to be more important than us, the little peons who are taking away their property. We are not owners of anything but the piece of property they are trying to steal. This is the game. I'm going to open many cans of worms. Play with me. See if I'm playing. You, you took me too lightly when I came the first time. And that's what made it explode. Because you weren't ready. But this is a leader challenging the leaders. Do you hear me? He is not one of those who don't know how to carry out a good battle. This is a minister's leader. He is someone who is ready for the battle. Now, I don't know how they are going to handle this. I don't even care. I'm ready to lose the house and take the city. I'm ready. I had the mayor's office in the palm of my hands. In the palm of my hands. Just in the videos of them playing with the money. Now I'm going to give you a little sample. Have they really been spending the money to get the lead pipes out of the ground? They're just stealing from Pedro to pay Pablo to do all this. They have so many deteriorated areas in their lives that they don't even know what decadence is. Those lead pipes should have been out of everyone's houses. They are charging companies to remove the lead pipes from theirs. But when they requested the subsidies and the money, just like in Detroit and Mississippi, I bet they counted each one of those businesses, each one of those houses, empty houses, as part of the money, part of the guarantee to get the money. But now they say that if the property is empty, yes, we have to pay for the pipes to be installed, yes. They already received the money a long time ago. I'm just giving you a sample of what I'm going to do. Just a sample. Take my property. You see it. Without a place. Without a place. But that you condemn me if I'm not going to hurt you. Those are my intentions. My intention is to hurt you. It doesn't matter if they are black or white. Sit in the committees. Destroy our lives. We don't have anything. We have a small piece of what you have. Millions... Some of you have... Businesses and apartments that don't look for profit. Some of you are sitting on many things. I don't have this paperwork for nothing. I don't have all this for nothing. I do my research. I'm good at what I do. I'm good at what I do. Now take my property. I want you to take it and see what happened. Do you have any comment or will you sit there like the municipal council? Do you have the opportunity to speak?

I would like to know how long has that property been only a foundation in... I've been in the city for 12 years and a foundation for 12 years. They have not done anything with the property.

No tengo que hacer nada con la propiedad. La propiedad está asegurada hasta que pueda permitirme hacer algo con ella. Después del incendio, le dijeron a la ciudad que iban a reconstruir esa propiedad y aún no lo han hecho. Trae un juego el SEO. Ya lo repasé con la ciudad hace mucho tiempo. Cuando entró la SEO... Era en 2020. Todo cambió. Todo. Vale. Y respóndeme esta pregunta desde 2014, tú. Vale.

Bueno, hubo seis años antes de la SEO.

I'm not responsible for 2014, I'm only responsible for when I bought the land. She's not responsible for 2020, she's only responsible for when she bought the land. I'm helping you here, but you better listen to me. She's not more responsible than I am. Go ahead, but let me explain it to you. You ask the question and I'll give you an answer. In 2019, Troll made a CEO and no one could do anything. I ruined myself. I ruined myself completely. And yet, I kept trying to work on it. I kept doing what I could. That property was impeccably clean at that time. But then... I didn't cut the lawn because I was trying to help other people to put their things in order. Now... I couldn't even get money from the stimulus. Also, all of you need to know that I don't pay taxes because you didn't give me a benefit when I needed it. All of you keep saying that I don't pay taxes. I don't exempt myself from taxes. And that's a bold statement. Let's see if someone tries to push it. I don't exempt myself from this country. I'm what you would call an illegal immigrant. I'm a duck child. I came here illegally. ILLEGALLY. At least my ancestors came here illegally. But now I'm mature enough to make my own decisions. And I'm free. I was released in 2019. When did the country do what it did to me? I debate. When? They gave us a stimulus of $1,500. Because we don't pay the 2019 taxes. I declare myself free. Does anyone want to push that?

So, yes, go ahead. Your microphone. Reverend Culi, good morning. I am Andre Horton. Well, I am a member of the Municipal Council. It is not quiet. We allow citizens to come and express their opinion, as you are here this morning, and in the end we respond. We do not usually interact like this. Y un momento, porque han estado hablando durante lo que parecen ser ya 15 minutos. ¿Están bien?

Esperen.

¿Están bien? Y estoy aquí representando al Consejo. Llevo aquí desde enero. Esto suena que viene de hace tiempo. Así que no tengo ni idea de lo que están hablando. No, deberían diferenciar entre negros y blancos. They should differentiate what they want or ask for. I mean, they should focus on that. So I'm going to ask because I don't even know what property they're talking about. Can someone give me the address of the property you're referring to? Yes. 2114 East 20th Street. It's something we're dealing with today. Okay. 21. What is the address, sir? 2114 East Street.

I haven't heard the Snipper's comment.

What did he just say? He gave the address I asked for.

But you asked if he took care of it.

No, I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it. It's my turn. It's out of order, sir. It's out of order. It's out of order. And my president should declare it out of order. Because here we still keep the decency and decorum. And we listen. It's my turn. The president has given me the word. May, I'm asking the question to Mr. Snipper. He's answering it. Estoy intentando llegar a un punto en el que pueda ayudarle o al menos entender de qué está hablando. Es justo, ¿verdad? Lo entiendo. Sí. Así que es 21 W C 20 St. Eh, no creo que Jake tenga los registros aquí a mano. El Sr. Sniper podría estar en su computadora, pero lo que haré es volver atrás y mirar el historial de esa propiedad. ¿Cuándo adquirió la propiedad? Come back when you know it or call us. Call the lady. Let me see here. My number. Take a number. My number is 84.

Write it down.

572, wait. Wait a minute. Write it down.

Write it down.

Because I'm a little offended. I love listening to the citizens. I love listening to them come. I love listening to your complaints and I've done it all my life. I try to be receptive. But some of your comments are a little incendiary. I know you're upset and frustrated. Y mi abuela no tuvo educación primaria, pero dijo que a veces se atrapan más abejas con miel.

Estoy cansado.

Por eso me cuesta sentarme aquí. Sin refutar todo lo que dice, porque no importa lo que dice, sino cómo lo dice. Topic. Y nadie responde a las amenazas. Nadie. Ella quiere su número. Es el 866. Cinco en siete está. So, in a few minutes you can tell me with your own words what was the problem with your property.

Yes, I can. The biggest problem arose that way.

Give me the short version.

Give me a short version.

The problem started with the property of my son. No, no, no. Give me the short version. What are the... Why did you request the permission? You have. What? What are you quoting? What is the quote for? I have it.

Everything. If you want. I can see it after the meeting.

If our secretary gives it to him, I will not waste his time either. If our secretary gives it to him, any information that he thinks would be pertinent to help me address, at least to understand his problem, is not something that is on our agenda. There is nothing that is going to be done here today. Well, I'll take your information and I'll do a follow-up. I'll do a follow-up. I can accept it.

I have it.

Tengo un historial probado. No quiero que nadie te trate como un tonto. Bueno, yo no te diría nada. No te diría nada. No te lo diría. No me sentaría aquí delante de ti y jugaría contigo de esa manera. Porque tampoco quiero que jueguen conmigo.

Han estado jugando conmigo desde el momento en que empecé a lidiar con esto.

Así que todos tenemos sé dónde. Estoy en esta ciudad.

Lo sé.

Sé dónde estoy en esta ciudad.

Lo sé. Póndeme a esto.

No voy a responder a nada que no esté relacionado con esta propiedad. Cuando he estado. ¿Tienes algo más relacionado con esta propiedad?

Vale.

¿Trates? Dejaré a nuestro secretario. Te ayudaré. Iré a reunirme contigo. ¿Tienes mi número de teléfono? Pero eso no es lo que me cansa de que me griten cada vez que vengo a sentarme.

No estoy gritando. Estoy prometiendo. No hay H, no hay gritos. Estas son promesas. You have to understand that the promise I'm going to make to you is that I will investigate your situation and your property. The... The... Intelligence is not going to move me. And are you using intelligence? No, I'm not using intelligence. I like that.

I'm not using intelligence.

Intelligence, but... And angry. And angry. And I'm so angry. But sometimes, sometimes emotions don't move the bar. I'm not trying to move you. The law moved the stone. Okay, but I understand the stone. I understand that there are people here. And I'm going to close with this. I'm going to close with this.

I'm going to go and come with you, sir. I know.

I'm going to finish with this. Sir, I know. I'm going to finish with this. I know. But I'm going to finish with this. I'm not trying to make you do something you shouldn't do. I tell you that if you don't do it, there will be consequences. That's what I say.

We are saying that we will treat you like any other citizen.

You have not treated me like anyone else yet.

Quite unfairly.

I know you're new to the board, but no one has treated me well yet.

I'm not new to this city, and I'm not new to your situation, nor to that of other landowners like you. I'm not new to this. I see Mr. Crenshaw come here. I see other black owners, and others come here. Yes, I'm not new to this. What seems to be that you are not following the process, Kaizo. We want to try to help you walk with the process if possible. If possible. And if they are not going to comply, then we will comply with the laws.

Do what you have to do. That's what I'm saying. I mean, we're here for... Let's say we're on the same page. We're on the same page. You gave money to Union Square. You've never sent me a letter saying that there was money available for me or for anyone else in this place. Never. I've taken it. Thanks.

Soy dueño de una propiedad que está en 1935 en Linwood Avenue y en julio compré la propiedad al lado de mi casa. Está en 1933 en Linwood Avenue. Así que vivo en mi propiedad durante 14 años. ¿Y la propiedad? que acabo de comprar, Eris, son 14 años y nadie hizo ningún trabajo en la propiedad. Yo era la persona que siempre se quejaba de que intentaran limpiar porque mi casa está limpia, en mi patio trasero y todo. Es como si lo hicieran muy bien. Así que terminé comprándole esta propiedad al vendedor sin saber que estaba en la lista de propiedades atrasadas. Así que se la compré a él. Él no me dijo eso. Yo no sabía nada al respecto. Incluso pedí un préstamo sobre el valor líquido de mi casa para poder hacer el proyecto de arreglarla. Mi esposo y yo limpiamos todo el patio trasero y delantero de escombros y madera. Lo cortamos todo. Ya cambiamos el techo. Cambiamos algunas ventanas. Y contratamos a un electricista para que haga los trabajos eléctricos en la casa. Como dije, es demasiado trabajo. Necesitamos instalar todos los servicios nuevos. Necesitamos arreglar los cimientos. Ya llamé a tres o cuatro empresas para intentar conseguir un mejor trato con ellas. Entregué los papeles a Josh tal como él quería que yo lo hiciera. Así que les pido, por favor, que nos den un poco más de tiempo porque hemos estado trabajando para obtener ingresos mensuales y tratamos de tratar con todas estas empresas con licencia para hacer un buen trato. Necesitamos un poco más de tiempo y si puedes hacer eso y quitar la casa de la lista, eso es todo lo que quiero. Eso es todo lo que quiero. Hoy salgo de mi trabajo solo para estar aquí e intentar aliviar el estrés. Mi marido y yo.

I just want to show you some photos and you want to see how the property was when we received it. I have photos on my phone of Lingwood Avenue, 1933.

I would ask you to, whenever you come to the podium, start by indicating the address of the property we are talking about at this moment.

Well, as I was saying, I think they are in the middle of the process of hiring the suppliers, preparing an action plan and presenting an intention statement in order to take it to the board so that it can review and approve this intention statement. They have already asked for the permits and everything. But I don't think Josh or the Reurbanization Authority have yet received a complete declaration of intent. That's why they are not on the agenda right now.

I sent him the email.

He already received it because he was not in the office.

And we've already bought it. So I'm not going to be too stressed because I'm going to put my money into it and I'm going to lend it. So I just want to work in peace. Do you understand?

and Erin. I don't know if you are familiar with the project at all. Did you talk to Josh about this? I am aware that when they re-published the pre-condemnation notice of his property, they informed me that there was someone working on the property and that, you know, they would start a declaration of intentions.

So it's fine. Mr. President.

Yes sir.

Well, we are working with her, Jay, to... Well, we are waiting for the intention letter and that will give you a new date and an extension.

Hace poco más de una semana les envié toda la información que necesitaban con respecto a los permisos. ¿Qué trabajo se necesitaba hacer en la propiedad? Creo que un par de contratistas ya consultaron al inspector de construcción y le hicieron preguntas sobre la reparación de los cimientos que se necesitaba y ya me dijo que esperaba vivir en esa casa.

Esa era su esperanza.

Bueno, no creo que haya ninguna preocupación importante con esto. Creo que se le permitirá... Muchas gracias. ...hacer lo que tenga que hacer para solucionarlo.

I'll do my best. As I said, I just need a lot less stress and I'm trying to do it the best I can and I'll get in touch with you. I mean, I'll work with pleasure on what you ask for. I just wanted to eliminate this house from the list because, as I said, I work for a monthly income. And if I need an extension of time, if you allow me, I would appreciate it.

Mr. President. Well, ma'am, you're refreshing. Porque yo, por mi parte, soy todo un desastre y no me gusta cuando vienen compradores locales de fuera y las convierten en alquileres o lo que sea. Eres el tipo de persona por la que hago todo lo posible. Al igual que el señor Cooley. Simplemente me gusta intentar mantener la emoción alejada. Pero también tenéis mi número.

Gracias.

Si hay algo en lo que pueda ayudar a facilitar el proceso. O si tenéis algún contratiempo, llamad. Llamad.

Muchas gracias. Ah, eso es.

¿Cuál es esa dirección de nuevo? ¿Hay algún comentario público más? No hay comentarios públicos. Los comentarios públicos están cerrados. El siguiente es un informe del secretario.

Gracias. Just for information, from the Deteriorated Property Review Committee, we published 23 properties at the end of August with announcements prior to expropriation, which is a step to notify the owner and, again, try to communicate with him Of those 23 publications, I calculate that we have probably received and begun to communicate with at least 6 owners with respect to the rehabilitation of their properties. So we are working on that and we will work with Jake and everyone else to facilitate the completion of those agreements. In addition to that, we have some properties that will be programmed for the planning commission for the designation of deterioration in the meeting of the week that comes.

Thank you.

Is there any question from the committee about the report?

Propongo que aceptemos el informe del secretario.

El segundo aposto.

Todos los que estén a favor. Me opongo. La moción se aprueba. ¿Hay algún asunto pendiente para el comité?

Sí. Le daré un momento a Aaron para que suba las fotos, pero hoy tenemos dos propiedades para la eliminación de plagas. Ambas propiedades están completamente rehabilitadas. La primera propiedad aquí es 1317 Tuttle Avenue. This property is a single-family home. All public services are not.

The taxes are on the day.

Two fountain permits were acquired, an electric permit, a boiler permit and a construction permit for the remodeling of a bathroom. As you can see, the property has returned to meet the standards. NASH has passed all inspections and they are ready to send the property back. I think the owner will keep it as a single-family home of rent, of rent.

Any motion to send it back? All those in favor? I oppose. The motion is approved.

And the other rehabilitation that we have here is 313 Wharton. This is another family home. The taxes are on the day. All public services are activated. They had obtained the electric permit, the plumbing permit and a construction permit and all those permits were finalized and the inspections were approved. This was the sale. I'm not sure if the sale was made. They asked us to eliminate the designation of light before the sale was made, but I think a family was being sold that was going to live there.

We have a motion to give this property. Todos a favor. Yo me opongo. La moción se aprueba. ¿Eso es todo por los asuntos antiguos? Yes. ¿Qué tenemos por los asuntos nuevos?

Bueno, tenemos algunas propiedades aquí para declararlas en ruinas. La primera de la lista es de 2000... Inse Holland Street, Enten. El propietario actual es dueño de esta propiedad desde 2014. Es un alquiler de dos unidades. They are late in the taxes of 2004-25 and it is expected that they are late in the taxes of 26. For a total amount between 24 and 25 of 40, a little more than $4,100. I could not verify the connections of national fuel or fines. The fines connections on the north side of the structure, but it was so covered with weeds between the fence and the house that I could not verify the meter. But I contacted Eerie Waterworks and asked them what the status of the account was and they told me it was active. But specifically they indicated that it has not been in use in the building for a long time. And I cited my notes because that was specifically what they told me at Eerie Waterworks.

It has not been in use for a long time.

Our case history is that we have had seven cases of compliance with codes all the time. We have had three cases with the current owner. We have sent five warning messages to the current owner without response. Well, the owner was cited in 2019, made some progress and the citation was withdrawn. But in the last three years, more or less, we have not had any response. The property has remained in these similar conditions and it seems that it is unemployed. No, I said that the water authority explained that it has not been used in a long time. I don't know if you drive to Holland, but it's close to the city garage, so many city employees drive to Holland. And I've seen it many, many times in the last two years and nothing has changed. And that tree on the south side, in fact, I went there yesterday. I did my rounds to visit all the properties to make sure that there were no trees in any of the houses that we were going to review today. And fortunately for this house, that tree didn't fall on the house. It was still standing, but it's leaning against the ceiling. Is there a question from the committee? Who's the owner? The owner is John Brunson.

He hasn't answered anything.

And... I had a conversation with the inspector of that area and he said that he had sent notices to the same owner about another property and that he had not obtained any progress in that property either.

We have a motion to approve. Well. Second. All those in favor. Against. The motion is approved.

The following for the crisis statement is the Western 255 of East Seventh Street. This property was purchased with a written claim for $1,000. In April 2023. It's been empty for about three years. They are indebted to the taxes of 23. And 25, which I found interesting. For just over $1,700. The Water Authority told me that the water has been cut since September 13, 2023 and that there is a pending balance of 3,700 dollars. We have 9 cases in the last 10 years with this property. 5 cases with the current owner. 6 infraction notifications were sent to the current owner. We have not received an answer. The land on the side that I will mention is also the property of the same owner. Está muy cubierto de maleza. No ha habido ningún progreso. Las ventanas delanteras están rotas. La puerta lateral parecía pateada. Hablé con un par de vecinos en la calle el otro día cuando estaba allí recopilando las fotos para la presentación de hoy y pregunté si el propietario vive en el barrio. Es una casa abandonada. La respuesta que obtuve fue, es una casa abandonada.

¿Está bien?

Dueña.

Katrina Thompson.

No, no hubo respuesta. ¿Y cuántos? Dijiste que son seis veces.

Seis avisos de infracciones.

Y también es dueño de un solar vacío al lado.

Vale.

Entonces votaremos para encenderlos a ambos cuando hagamos nuestra votación.

Podemos decirte que te daré los detalles del solar vacío si quieres.

También me gustaría conocer los detalles de las infracciones. Vale.

Vale. They have sent notice of infractions by the outside, by tall grass, garbage and rubble. When I say outside, I mean the real conditions of the property. Yes, it is the coating, the broken windows. Many times when we have a brick house, the photographs are up here. Well, we are looking for it. We are talking about this. Can we go back to the house?

Estoy intentando. He caminado por esos vecindarios, créelo o no.

Es como el séptimo en Wallace.

Eso es lo peor. Brad Folk me dijo que esa es la cuadra más peligrosa del condado. De ir por los callejones y esos... Esa no es la. Te lo enteré. Conozco esa casa. Tienes razón.

Correcto. El garaje de ese lado, creo que el techo está empezando a arrumbarse.

Sí, el señor Laird vive allí. Y está en la misma cuadra que hicimos desde la 6ma hasta la 7ma, el paseo del parque. Y esas son unas cuantas puertas en el lado sur de la calle. Tienda.

¿Quieren los detalles del solar vacío para que podamos votar sobre ambos juntos?

Claro.

El solar vacío está atrasado en los impuestos de 23, 24 y 25 por 1,130 dólares y algo más. Obviamente no tiene ningún estado de servicios públicos porque es un solar vacío. Well, we have sent a lot of notifications, in fact, two notifications only in the last two months, trying to gain some momentum as to whether we are going to get an answer. I don't know, when they brought me this property, initially at the beginning of the year I looked at it and realized that the owner on the other side was the owner of this Valdío land. So I gave instructions to the inspector to send notifications to both so that when we got to this point we would take them both at the same time.

I'm curious. When we send those six answers, is there a deadline? Do those six answers refer to a period of six weeks or six months?

That means six notifications! I can tell you that for the Valdío area, we send a notification on June 9th. We send another notification on August 5th of this year. For the house specifically, we send a notification on June 17th. El 17 de mayo se envió otra notificación de infracción el 12 de mayo. Luego tenemos algunas notificaciones que eran de finales de 2024. No obtuvimos respuesta a eso. Eso habría sido en noviembre de 2024. Tenemos notificaciones de...

No, you answer because only in my mind there are notifications throughout the time. If it goes back 24, that is different from 6 notifications from May to August.

Correct. I mean, there is even a notification here for this one that we send them to the outside of this property, but this one would have been sent by a different owner. But that was in April 2020.

Because I think that's relevant when it's probably more relevant when it comes to a wasteland because you don't have the potential for security. Not necessarily, but if we only see or we have notified them six or nine times and it's not much time for me. Yes, that's why I keep the dates. Any other question? And everyone has to keep supporting me because I'm still learning about this. And I'm just a walking question.

Okay. The questions are good. And just so you know that empty lots have a minimum notification tutorial of infractions, because essentially at this moment it is a car or high grass. So that period of time is once the snow falls and there are no infractions with an empty lot.

Yes, because if it's not a plot, then they have a different value. And someone in the neighborhood could want to buy that plot instead of giving it to another person. And I'm in favor of what? If we buy locally in Eri, we also buy locally in the neighborhood. Well, there are that kind of questions.

In fact, I will also say that the Valdío land was a deteriorated house that was demolished and then remodeled and now we are here deteriorating the Valdío land. That if I was not going to announce it, I'm not even going to listen to my little one. But this is the first time I meet someone who has illuminated a property. For the second time. Telling me that I'm in second place.

I need it like this. So I'm not even going to try to solve it.

Okay. We have a motion to deteriorate this. Motion to deteriorate more plots. Aaron supports.

All those in favor. The... Approve. Thank you. Next, Jake.

Since we did both, I'm going to start with this property here in 720 East 4th and the property next door in 718 East 4th. Both are property of the same owner. Okay. And they are in the same conditions. Well, if the board prefers to vote for both at the same time, I have no problem with that. Do they have structures? Both have structures. Can we vote for them? I would request to vote for them separately.

Okay. And I think that is also cleaner.

No problem. Well, the first property is on 720 East 4th Street.

Well, move. No, I'm just saying I know both properties.

Okay.

You're in my neighborhood, man.

Well, these properties are at the end of the apple tree, in the 700 apple tree of East 4th Street. It is in the name of the owner of the writing. Or this property in 720 East has been in the name of the owner of the writing since 2008 and the owner is from Baltimore. It is a house for two families. It is empty. They are late in the taxes of 2025 for $ 1,387 and something else. Both Penelk meters of the property are off. The water has been cut since March 2022. the first floor of a balance of just over $ 1,400 and the second floor of a balance of $ 3,545. We have a history of quite extensive cases here. We have had 10 cases that date back to 2010 with this property, all with the same owner. Cases with respect to the exterior of the structure, the maintenance of the lawn, the garbage and debris. This year, in March, we notified the owner that they had to pay the rent rates. Then we will have a case of rent in progress with the property. Violation notifications were sent in August of this year, June of this year. May of this year. And so it goes. And in 2021 we send notifications. The inspector in this area had the owner's phone number and he called him continuously to tell him, hey, you have to go there and cut the lawn. The owner had done it for several years, but in the last two years he has stopped doing it completely. The owner has stopped talking and our inspector has not been able to get in touch with him since then. That is why the inspector began to send many notices because the owner stopped talking to him. With all the information there is and the fact that the property has been empty for more than four years, that's why we're looking for a deterioration designation.

Is there any question from the committee?

Do we have a motion for the deterioration? Support. Support. All those in favor? I. I oppose. The motion is approved. Okay. Okay. And the following is, this is right next to the previous property. It is the 78 of East 4th Street. It has been in the name of the owner since 2010. The owner is from Baltimore. They are late in the taxes of 2025. For just under $ 1,400. National fuel. I noticed that in the place where the meter should be, there was none and the pipe was covered. Ambos medidores de panel estaban apagados y el agua ha estado cortada en esta propiedad desde septiembre de 2019. Deben 33 euros por su factura de agua, pero han estado cortados desde 2019. La propiedad está vacía con múltiples infracciones exteriores. También tenemos 10 casos con esta propiedad.

Entonces, recibimos.

Ten notice of infractions in August, June, May and March. A notification was sent about the rental rates and then the same goes back to 2017. We send notice of infractions without result. There were also situations in 2017 for this property, which occurred shortly before the water service was cut. Bueno, y fueron declarados culpables. Dicho esto, por eso buscamos una designación de deterioro. ¿Hay alguna pregunta del comité? Acto.

Vale. ¿Alguien quiere apoyar esto? André, tú hiciste la moción, ¿verdad?

Okay. Janelle was the second. All those in favor? Me. I'm in. The motion is approved. Okay. Next, we have a fairly unique property. This property is on 3416 East 11th Street. It is in the name of the owner since 2011. There is a residential structure in the lot and it is also a commercial building. I will show you the photos. The blue building is the commercial building and next to it, in the same plot, there is a brick apartment of two units. This is the back of the brick apartment that you see in this image. They are charging more taxes for the years 23, 24 and 25 for $20.79. And something else. I was there recently. I couldn't locate where the meter was. I think it was in the basement of the commercial building. But when I was there a couple of weeks ago, on August 20th, because EPD applied for insurance and it turned out that there was a worker. of National Fuel on the sidewalk. And I asked him, hey, is there a way to verify the state of National Fuel of this? And he checked the sidewalk valve and the sidewalk valve was closed. So he checked there on the sidewalk that the National Fuel line was closed. The commercial building has an active meter. And there is an active meter in the residential structure and one of the meters in the residential structure is off. Edie Waterworks shows that the property has been cut since October 2023 and owes $1,800. A little more than $1,800.

And his fire line account owes another $800.

We have six cases in all the time that go back to 2017. Tenemos más de 10 avisos de violaciones enviados, publicados y enviados por correo. Te daré algunas fechas aquí. Enviamos tres avisos en mayo. Enviamos avisos con multas de calidad de vida en septiembre del año pasado. Avisos en agosto del año pasado. Se publicó como inhabitable en julio del año pasado. Enviamos avisos en junio. Enviamos avisos en mayo. And so on. The problem we had with this property was that initially when they called us for the first time, the residential structure, all the windows were broken. And it seemed that there was a situation of homeless people and illegal occupants. There were a lot of people entering force in the commercial building and in the residential building. They called us for the first time on June 30 last year and we had to ask the EPD to send patrol cars to clear the structure. It was a fairly large and complex building, so they evicted everyone. We insured it and the next morning I went there to make sure it was safe. The next morning, when I went there, they came in to steal that same night as soon as we insured it. So I insured it again the next day. It remained quite safe for most of last year, and then in May they called us to secure it again. And we had very few conversations with the owner. There were people who said they worked for the owner, but it seemed they lived in the manzana and in the house or in the building.

Is there also a local owner?

Yes, I think so. The owner depends on Awareness Ministries. A few years ago, they led a non-profit organization in the commercial building.

I remember that the climate, that all those climate agents, that building, it doesn't seem that big, but it probably is. It was showing a preliminary shot. It was the damage to the roof up there.

Well, last year, the entire commercial building was full of mice and food scraps that seemed to have been collected for something. And it was an absolute disaster. We contacted the owner. The owner said, hey, look, I'm going to do something with this. The next thing we knew was that there were people cleaning it. They took out most of the things and then the owner left us standing and the main door, the commercial building, continued without being safe. In June of this year, I spoke personally with the owner and he told me, look, if you allow me, I was going to pursue the deterioration in June. And he said, if you give me 30 days to give you an action plan written for the property, I'm going to solve the taxes. It could be X, Y, or B. And I agreed. I said, but you have to secure the structure in a seven-day period. The structure was secured. Without me knowing, the glass door of the entrance was not secured. But all the other doors did. A couple of days after talking to him, the glass door of the entrance was broken. Someone made a hole in it to be able to put your hand in and open the door. I contacted the owner, but I did not get an answer. Since then I have not received an answer.

God, how lucky that we didn't have a fire. You were there last week.

I was there on August 20th and we cleaned and secured the entire structure with EPD. Well, that was the moment when I said, well, we're looking for destruction. Well, if this owner comes and doesn't show an action plan and wants to fix things, let it be so. But with the current condition, we need to look for a destruction designation. Is there a question from the committee? I just wanted to make a comment. The property is exposed to the judicial sale of taxes.

Okay. What does that mean, Parados?

Media with more than three years of fiscal delay were not sold in the surprise sale, so it will be exposed to the judicial sale of taxes in November, I think.

Understood. I propose that the property be declared with little destruction.

The

Todos los que están a favor, yo opongo. La moción se aprueba. Algo así como que ahora me gusta. Ya lo entiendo. Porque la designación de destrucción nos mantiene en movimiento y es otra palanca para llegar al propietario para un último esfuerzo.

That's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is. I'm slow, but... Open the door for later, but it's also a last effort for us to try to communicate and fulfill.

Yes, exactly what it is. Good job.

Good job. Well, last year we went from that last property, which was too complicated, to a barren land in East 9th Street. The address is 631. East 9th Street. Very, very surprising for me. The taxes are at 100% daily. The owner acquired this property through fiscal writing, but it was from Pittsburgh. We have not received an answer.

As you can see, the severity of the evil in the property.

Welcome, owner. From the Valdío terrain to the east.

Even before the micro explosion,

Hemos enviado cinco notificaciones de infracciones a esta propietaria actual sin respuesta. Dos de ellas fueron este año, este verano, y tres el año pasado, el verano pasado. No ha recibido respuesta. También es dueño del lote cubierto de maleza al este. Originalmente, el inspector pensó que había un lote grande allí. Entonces estaba enviando avisos. Le expliqué, miren, parece que hay dos lotes más pequeños allí. Entonces necesitaremos enviar un aviso de infracción para el papeleo. to be able to proceed to deteriorate the other lot. But I hope that if the owner receives this designation of deterioration or is in charge of both lots, and then we can continue from there.

The question is that someone is paying the taxes.

So maybe this designation of deterioration makes you understand that you need to keep what happens with a screwdriver and eliminate it twice a year.

Everything in favor? I oppose. The motion is approved. Thank you, Jake. Now, the committee will appeal to receive the renewal intention statements as presented.

Currently, we don't have any for the committee to review. As I said during the secretary's report, we are in communication with several property owners with a straw roof to celebrate and obtain their intention statements. But they are in process and we hope to have some for next month.

Including the young woman who was here this morning. Yes.

Good.

Good.

Is there any correspondence that should be included in the act? I have nothing. No.

It's a motion of embargo. Okay.

First, when we take the decision, it's... Well, it's a motion of embargo.

Those two, those two are extraordinary. Yes, those two specifically. I didn't have photos of their interior. But I will. I know I promised. I think I promised before. I will do everything possible to try to uncover some photos and find some.

Yes, and I apologize for that.

I did not check the list before the meeting, so I did not have it present at that time. It has been around 300 for some time, but I think we had already gone up. We did a kind of quick review two and a half years ago, three years ago, where we reviewed and raised some that should have been raised. You know, something like what Jake has been doing, auditing the list. So it goes up and down the way we work on this. So we did what we did aggressively in 2023. We went aggressively after the acquisition of the property. We said yes, a couple of months ago I was here with a lot of empty solar panels trying to get them off the list.

Vale. Ahora tenemos una moción de emplazamiento. Bueno.

Todos los que están a favor.

Gracias a todos.
