GOOD MORNING. I'M ROBERT MARSH, PROPERTY MAINTENANCE INSPECTOR FOR THE CITY OF ABILENE. WE'RE GOING TO PRESENT EIGHT PROPERTIES TO YOU TODAY. THIS IS THE PUBLIC NOTICE THAT WAS PUBLISHED FOR THIS HEARING. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH CASE NUMBER 20 4-000052 LOCATED AT 300 WALL STREET.

THIS IS THE CHECKLIST FOR THE RECORD SEARCH. IT SHOWS THE UTILITY RECORDS.

THE MUNICIPALITY BEEN INACTIVE SINCE 2012. AND THE SEARCH REVEALS 300 WALL STREET LLC TO BE THE OWNER.

THIS IS THE PUBLIC NOTICE FOR THIS HEARING THAT WAS POSTED ON THE BUILDING. THIS IS THE FRONT EAST SIDE.

THIS PHOTO IS FROM JANUARY 21ST THIS YEAR. FRONT.

EAST SIDE. REAR. WEST SIDE. THE NORTH SIDE.

IS A LITTLE LAG ON THE COMPUTER. IN THE SOUTH SIDE.

IT'S WAITING ON THE SLIDES TO CATCH UP. WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE TOP HIGHLIGHTED BUILDING, 300 WALL STREET.

THESE ARE THE SUBSTANDARD CODE VIOLATIONS THAT WERE FOUND.

INADEQUATE SANITATION, STRUCTURAL HAZARD, NUISANCE, HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL WIRING, HAZARDOUS PLUMBING, HAZARDOUS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND FAULTY WEATHER PROTECTION.

THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM JANUARY 21ST THIS YEAR THAT SHOW THEY'RE STILL BROKEN EXTERIOR GLASS.

YOU'VE GOT A FLAGPOLE ON THE FRONT THAT'S BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS DETACHED.

THAT SHOWS THE NEGLECT OF THE BUILDING. HERE WE SEE THAT THE FENCE IS STILL UNSECURED.

WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM TO REPAIR THAT FOR SOME TIME. A PICTURE ON THE RIGHT SHOWS THE BUILDING IS UNSECURED IN THE FRONT.

THIS IS THE CONDITION OF THE MAIN AREA. THESE PHOTOS ARE FROM JUNE OF 2025.

AFTER THEY DID A BIT OF CLEAN OUT OF THE BUILDING.

WE'VE GOT OPENINGS IN THE ROOF WHICH WERE PRESENT WHEN WE DID A WALK THROUGH IN NOVEMBER.

WE'VE GOT VANDALISM THAT WERE STILL PRESENT WHEN WE DID A WALK THROUGH IN NOVEMBER.

AND THEN TIMELINE OF EVENTS JANUARY 11TH OF 24 IS WHEN WE RECORDED THE AFFIDAVIT OF CONDEMNATION AT THE COUNTY CLERK.

APRIL 3RD OF 24. THE BOARD ORDERED THE 30 60 OCTOBER 2ND OF 24.

[00:05:03]

THE BOARD ORDERED CIVIL PENALTIES AND ASSESSED.

WE ASSESSED A LIEN IN THE AMOUNT OF $74,500. WHICH WAS RECORDED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK.

AND THAT LIEN REMAINS UNPAID. MARCH 5TH OF 25.

THE BOARD ORDERED CIVIL PENALTIES. THERE WAS A LIEN IN THE AMOUNT OF $77,000 RECORDED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK, AND THAT LIEN ALSO REMAINS UNPAID. JUNE 12TH OF 25.

WE SENT AN OWNER. WE SENT THE OWNER A LIST OF THE MINIMUM REQUIRED REPAIRS THAT THE CITY WAS REQUIRING TO GET THE BUILDING OUT OF CONDEMNATION.

AND THEN THE OWNER DID SOME CLEANOUT OF THE BUILDING AND REMOVED SOME OF THE GRAFFITI INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.

JULY 2ND OF 25. THE BOARD ORDERED A COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT.

AUGUST 15TH, 2025. THE OWNER NEVER CONTACTED CITY STAFF TO DISCUSS THE COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT, SO WE DRAFTED ONE AND SENT IT TO HIM. THE AGREEMENT WAS TO MAKE MINIMAL REPAIRS NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE BUILDING FROM CONDEMNATION.

WE PLACED A COPY OF THAT COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT IN YOUR FOLDERS.

AND IF YOU WANT TO LOOK ON PAGE TWO, NUMBER FOUR, YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE CITY IS REQUIRING TO BE DONE AND HOW MINIMAL AND REASONABLE WE'RE BEING WITH THE OWNER. THE OWNER DID NOT EVER ENTER INTO A COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT AS ORDERED BY THE BOARD.

I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE TO LOOK AT THAT AGREEMENT.

ON SEPTEMBER 3RD OF 2025, THE BOARD ORDERED CIVIL PENALTIES.

THERE WAS A LIEN IN THE AMOUNT OF $31,500 RECORDED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK, AND THAT LIEN REMAINS UNPAID.

OCTOBER 30TH OF 2025, WE WERE CONTACTED BY A REALTY COMPANY AND ASKED IF WE WOULD ACCOMPANY A PROSPECTIVE TENANT THROUGH THE BUILDING TO EXPLAIN THE CITY'S REPAIR REQUIREMENTS SO THE TENANT COULD MAKE THE REPAIRS, WHICH WERE THE MINIMUM REQUIRED REPAIRS NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO USE THE BUILDING FOR STORAGE.

NOVEMBER 3RD OF 25 THE TENANT WALKED THROUGH WAS COMPLETED.

ALL CITY REQUIREMENTS WERE EXPLAINED AND AGREED UPON.

THE TENANT'S NEXT STEP WAS TO SIGN A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE OWNER, SUBMIT CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS TO THE CITY, AND PULL A PERMIT. THEY WANTED TO START USING THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY IN NOVEMBER, AND IT WAS TO BE USED FOR STORAGE.

THIS WAS THE LAST CONTACT WE HAD WITH THAT COMPANY.

JANUARY 14TH OF 2026. THE NOTICE OF THE FEBRUARY HEARING WAS SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND POSTED ON THE STRUCTURE JANUARY 29TH 26TH.

WE VERIFIED WITH APD THAT THERE IS STILL A REGULAR NEED FOR POLICE SERVICE AT THAT LOCATION FOR CALLS SUCH AS SUSPICIOUS PERSONS AND VEHICLES AND A BURGLARY IN PROGRESS.

AND YESTERDAY WE RECEIVED A LETTER THAT'S IN YOUR FOLDER FROM THE ATTORNEY, REQUESTING A 30 DAY DELAY ON THE CASE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER.

THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO ORDER. THE OWNER IS ORDERED TO PAY CIVIL PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE OF THE BOARD'S ORDER ON JULY 2ND, 2025, IN THE AMOUNT OF $500 FOR EACH DAY OF NONCOMPLIANCE AND THE PERIOD OF NONCOMPLIANCE FOR THE CIVIL PENALTIES TO BE ASSESSED IS STARTING ON THE DAY AFTER THE PREVIOUS PERIOD OF NONCOMPLIANCE. CIVIL PENALTIES TO BE ASSESSED TODAY ARE FOR THE NONCOMPLIANCE PERIOD OF SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2025 THROUGH FEBRUARY 3RD, 2026. TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS OF NONCOMPLIANCE IS 154 DAYS.

THE TOTAL CIVIL PENALTIES TO BE ASSESSED IS $77,000.

DO NOT TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. I KNOW THE TIMELINE STARTED AT JANUARY 11TH OF 2024.

[00:10:03]

YES, SIR. HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER SITUATIONS WITH THIS PROPERTY THAT THIS COMMITTEE OR THE CITY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN? JUST NUISANCE. COMPLAINTS? OKAY. MOWINGS AND SUCH SECUREMENT OF THE BUILDING.

THANK YOU. THESE ARE CIVIL PENALTIES THAT WERE ASSESSED AT THESE VARIOUS TIMES.

IT LOOKED LIKE THAT ADDS UP TO ABOUT $180,000, BUT I'M SEEING 77.

THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, THOSE PREVIOUS PENALTIES OR.

YEAH, THESE ARE EACH SEPARATE FINES. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING? YES. THEY'RE THEY'RE SEPARATE FINES AND THEY'RE ALL APPLICABLE THEN.

IS THAT RIGHT? RIGHT. CORRECT. OKAY, SO THEY'RE UP OVER $200,000 THEN? YES, SIR. I DIDN'T ADD THEM UP, BUT THAT SOUNDS CORRECT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. MARSH? ALL RIGHT, I WILL OPEN CASE NUMBER 24000052 FOR PUBLIC DISCUSSION. ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CASE NUMBER 24000052 AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR A MOTION.

AND I JUST WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT YOU DO HAVE THAT LETTER THAT THE ATTORNEY SENT YESTERDAY ASKING FOR A POSTPONEMENT FOR THE FIRST.

THESE FIRST THREE CASES AND THAT'S IN YOUR FOLDER.

AND MR. MARSHALL ALREADY STATED THAT. BUT I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT ON THE RECORD THAT IT'S BEEN PROVIDED TO YOU.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THEY'VE DONE A WHOLE LOT OF WHAT WE'VE ASKED TO BEGIN WITH.

RIGHT? NO, SIR. THEY DID CLEAN OUT OF SOME OF THE BUILDING THE MAIN AREAS AND TAKEN OFF SOME GRAFFITI ON THE WALLS, CLEANED OUT SOME BROKEN GLASS, AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THE EXTENT THEY DID SOME MOWING ON THE OUTSIDE.

THEY HAVEN'T SECURED PART OF THE FENCE THAT'S BROKEN, LIKE WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR QUITE A WHILE.

THEY DID CHAIN UP THE THE GATES. BUT LIKE YOU SAW THAT THE BUILDING REMAINS UNSECURED.

YOU COULD WALK THROUGH THE THE FRONT AT THE BROKEN GLASS.

AND I GUESS THIS NEW LETTER IS FROM SOMEBODY NEW.

HE'S HIRED TO TAKE OVER. THAT'S CORRECT.

WELL, I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WE ARE JUST PROLONGING THE SITUATION BY GETTING THESE CIVIL PENALTIES, AND WE'RE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS ON THIS, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. I BELIEVE ONCE THE CIVIL PENALTIES GET TO A CERTAIN AMOUNT IN THE CITY HAS MORE LEVERAGE.

SO IT'S KIND OF I THINK THAT'S THEIR THAT'S THE PLAY HERE.

TRY TO GET THEM TO DO SOMETHING. I MOVE, WE ACCEPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. GO AHEAD. ALL RIGHT. I'VE GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ACCEPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

ROLL CALL PLEASE. MR. WYATT? YES. MR.. YES. MR. TANKERSLEY. YES. MR. MCNEIL. YES. MR.. TURNER.

YES. AND MR. MCBRAYER. YES. MOTION PASSED. BRIAN, CLOSE THE CASE.

JESSICA DELAGARZA. I'M THE PROPERTY OWNER. OWNER.

IT'S UNDER MY NAME. SO WE DO HAVE THE NOTICES, EVERYTHING.

THE GENTLEMAN JUST EXPLAINED. WE TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE HOUSE IN 2020 OR STARTED WORKING ON THE HOUSE 2022 WHEN HER MOTHER PASSED.

SO WE JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS SO WE KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE THIS IS NEW TO US.

WE WERE WANTING TO REMODEL THE HOUSE, USE IT FOR VACATION HOME OR WEEKEND HOME.

THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING AN AIRBNB WITH ALL THE WORK IN DUBLIN.

AND FROM DAY ONE IT'S BEEN A STRUGGLE WITH THE SQUATTERS.

WITH THE VAGRANTS. YEAH, WE'LL CALL IT IN OR WE'LL CALL IT IN.

BOARDED IT UP. WE'VE DONE IT. CLEANED OUT. WE DO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY.

THE TRASH. I KNOW THEY LOOK BACK IN THEIR FILES.

THERE WAS LOTS OF PICTURES THAT THEY USED TO STACK TRASH THERE.

OLD CARS. WE TOOK CARE OF ALL THAT. THAT WAS THE FIRST PORTION OF THIS.

AND THEN WE HAD THE HOUSE LIVABLE. AND THEN ABOUT 12 SQUATTERS WERE IN THERE.

SO WE TALKED TO I DON'T REMEMBER THE GENTLEMAN'S NAME, BUT THE COUNCIL.

AND WE TOLD HIM, WHAT ARE WE WHAT'S OUR NEXT MOVE? HE SAID, WELL, YOU CAN CONDEMN IT.

[00:30:02]

THAT'LL BUY YOU SOME TIME. AND THAT WAS IN 24, I THINK.

HE'S IN THAT WAY. YOU CAN GIVE YOU SOME MORE TIME. AND THAT PUT TRESPASSING SIGNS UP. THAT SHOULD HELP KEEP THEM OUT.

AND IT DID FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS, MAYBE. AND THEY STARTED PULLING BOARDS OFF THE WALLS AND GOT BACK IN THERE.

AND NOW WITH THE LATEST PICTURES, WE HAD IT ALL CLEANED OUT, AND NOW IT'S FULL OF TRASH AGAIN.

THEY'VE BROKEN IN AGAIN AND PULLED OFF THE PLYWOOD OFF THE FRONT DOOR.

AND WE WENT BY THIS MORNING. AND THE ONLY REASON IT'S CLOSED NOW.

THEY SECURED IT. THEY SECURED IT SO WE CAN. YEAH.

SO WE WANT TO KEEP SECURING IT. SO OUR PLAN IS TO REMODEL THE HOME.

OR WE THOUGHT WE'D DEMO IT AND START NEW WITH WHAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO WITH IT.

IF IT'S COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, CAN WE PUT TRAILERS? CAN WE PUT A DUPLEX? WHAT CAN WE DO? WE HAVE TO FIND THAT OUT. RIGHT NOW, WE DO JUST NEED MORE TIME.

AND THEN THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THE SQUATTERS AND VAGRANTS, OR WHAT? WHAT IS EVERYBODY DOING ABOUT THAT? OR HOW DO WE HELP? IF WE MAKE AN IMPROVEMENT, THEY DAMAGE IT WITHIN A MONTH OR TWO.

THE GENTLEMAN THAT'S RENTING THE GREENHOUSE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF ME, HE'S JUST FINALLY GOT THE REPAIRS DONE AND THEY DID IT AGAIN.

THE VAGRANTS MESSED UP AND HE GOT IT FIXED AND GOT IT RENTED.

SO IT'S WORKING RIGHT NOW. HE SAYS HE'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR THREE YEARS. AND THEY JUST IT'S A FIGHT BETWEEN THESE VAGRANTS THAT IF IT HAPPENS TO BE EMPTY, EVEN FOR A MONTH OR TWO, IT'S THEN THEY'RE IN THERE.

WE'RE HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THAT OR HOW DO WE SO WHAT CAN WE DO AS A BOARD.

WE CAN'T REALLY GIVE YOU ADVICE ON THAT. THAT FRONT. RIGHT.

I THINK THE CITY WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH THAT. LIKE THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW? YES, SIR. WE CAN TALK AFTER THE HEARING. OKAY.

YEAH. BUT WE DID START THE PROCESS TO THE GENTLEMAN TOLD US TO WORK ON.

WE HAVE A SKETCH AND A LIST OF ALL OF OUR REPAIRS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

SLOWLY. AND THEN BACK TO THE BEGINNING AGAIN.

BACK TO SQUARE ONE. WE DID GET AN ESTIMATE FROM A BONDING COMPANY.

BUT TO DEMO IT. BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO DEMOLISH THE HOUSE, REALLY, BUT WE KIND OF WANT TO LOOK INTO THE PLANS OF THE THAT AREA IN THE CITY AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WHAT'S THE NEXT BEST MOVE TO DO? SO WE JUST NEED TIME. OKAY. WELL, RIGHT NOW THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS, IS YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO TO GET A PLAN OF ACTION TOGETHER.

RIGHT. ONCE YOU GET THAT AND THE CITY APPROVES IT AND THEN THEN YOU START PULLING PERMITS AND YOU GET ANOTHER 60 DAYS TO START GETTING INSPECTIONS, PERMITS. THIS PLAN OR A PLAN. RIGHT. OKAY. YEAH.

AND IF YOU'RE FINE WITH THAT, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS. AND THAT ULTIMATELY GIVES YOU 90 DAYS TO REALLY GET GOING. YOU JUST HAVE TO GET THAT 30 DAYS FIRST AND THEN YOU GET ANOTHER 60. OKAY. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO ASK OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. YES. THANK YOU.

[00:35:05]

A TIMELINE OF EVENTS. NOVEMBER 17TH OF 25 IS WHEN THE AFFIDAVIT OF CONDEMNATION WAS RECORDED AT THE COUNTY CLERK.

THERE WAS A STRUCTURE FIRE AFFECTING THE HOMES ATTACHED GARAGE THAT REQUIRED THE FIRE AND WATER DEPARTMENT TO TAKE THE ENTIRE GARAGE DOWN DUE TO SAFETY.

THE PROPERTY REQUIRED FURTHER DEMO BY BY OUR DEPARTMENT.

THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE HAS BEEN LIVING IN A NURSING HOME. THE HOUSE HAD OCCUPANTS AT ONE TIME THAT WERE STAYING THERE WITHOUT UTILITIES.

WE WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY HAD PERMISSION TO BE THERE OR NOT FROM THE OWNER.

NOTICES OF VIOLATION WERE SENT TO THE HOMEOWNER TO GET THE HOUSE CLEARED OF POSSIBLE UNAUTHORIZED OCCUPANTS, AND TO ADDRESS A HAZARDOUS FALLING CARPORT. WHEN NO ACTION WAS TAKEN BY THE OWNER TO ADDRESS THE VIOLATIONS, CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS WERE FILED WITH MUNICIPAL COURT. NOVEMBER 19TH OF 19TH OF 25.

THE CONDEMNATION NOTICES WERE SENT TO THE OWNER. THE HOMEOWNER HAS REACHED OUT SEVERAL TIMES BY LETTER, BUT THE LETTERS WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. SO WE CALLED CALL THE NURSING HOME.

DECEMBER 16TH OF 25, WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE OWNER STATING THE PROPERTY IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING SOLD TO HARDIN-SIMMONS.

THE CITY HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH HARDIN-SIMMONS, AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO FORMAL AGREEMENT ON THE PROPERTY, BUT THEY ANTICIPATE GETTING THE PROPERTY AND WILL DEMO ONCE THEY GET IT.

IN ORDER, THE OWNERS ORDERED TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL THE ORDER TO DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30 DAYS, OR THE CITY MAY DEMOLISH.

AND I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THERE'S NOT BEEN FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH HARDIN-SIMMONS ON IT.

NO, SIR. NO, SIR. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY INPUTS FOR ME TO PROVIDE TO YOU TODAY.

I ASKED IF THEY WANTED TO HAVE ME PASS ON ANY INFO OR SHOW UP TODAY, AND THEY HADN'T CONTACTED ME ABOUT THAT.

BUT IT'S THEIR INTENT TO BUY IT. WHEN THE OWNER PASSES, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GET IT.

THE SEARCH WARRANT WAS IN 2024.

OKAY. SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2024. CONDEMNATION NOTICES WERE SENT TO THE OWNER AND FILED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK ON JUNE 4TH 25.

THE BOARD ORDERED A 30. 60. NOVEMBER 5TH. THE BOARD ORDERED A DEMOLITION.

EXCUSE ME. JANUARY 6TH. THE FENCE SURROUNDING THE BUILDING HAS BEEN REMOVED, LEAVING PARTIALLY DEMOLISHED. STRUCTURE UNSECURED.

JANUARY 14TH. NOTICE OF FEBRUARY HEARING WAS SENT TO THE PROPERTY.

I DID DRIVE BY THERE YESTERDAY AND THEY HAVE SECURED THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHERE THERE WERE LARGE HOLES LEFT BY THE PARTIAL DEMOLITION.

THE OWNER PULLED A DEMOLITION PERMIT AND STARTED IT IN AUGUST OF 25.

ON AUGUST 20TH, EXCUSE ME. AND ON AUGUST 29TH, THE STATE SHUT DOWN THE DEMOLITION FOR INAPPROPRIATE DEMOLITION DUE TO ASBESTOS ABATEMENT.

THEY WEREN'T USING PROPER PROTOCOLS. SO THAT'S WHEN WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO BOB'S.

AND YOU ORDERED A DEMO, AND THEN THE BUILDING OFFICIAL ORDERED AN EMERGENCY DEMO OF THE PART THAT WAS GOING TO COLLAPSE IF WE DIDN'T TAKE IT DOWN.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THIS ONE. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO ORDER THE OWNER TO PAY CIVIL PENALTIES FOR NONCOMPLIANCE OF THE BOARD'S ORDER ON NOVEMBER 5TH, 2025, IN THE AMOUNT OF $100 PER DAY EACH DAY OF NONCOMPLIANCE.

THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DAYS OF NONCOMPLIANCE IS 61, AND THE TOTAL CIVIL PENALTIES TO BE ASSESSED WOULD BE $6,100.

AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

SINCE THE TIME OF THE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT ISSUE CAME UP, THERE'S BEEN NO PROGRESS.

YOU'RE NOT AWARE THAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH THE STATE? ABSOLUTELY NO CONTACT FROM THE OWNER.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE STATE AGENT. AND AND HE OF COURSE, IS IS REQUIRING THERE BE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT FOR THE REST OF THE DEMOLITION? THERE'S BEEN NO PROGRESS ON THAT FRONT. NOT AT ALL.

NO, SIR. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MISS DOLLAR? SO THE OWNER HAS ALREADY BEEN DIRECTED TO DEMO THE ENTIRE PROPERTY? YES, SIR. AND THEY'VE DONE A PORTION OR THE CITY HAS DONE A PORTION. YES, SIR.

HAS THE OWNER DONE ANY OF THE DEMO? HE STARTED A DEMOLITION WHEN THE STATE SHUT HIM DOWN MID DEMOLITION BECAUSE HE WASN'T DOING THE ASBESTOS ABATEMENT.

AND SO THAT LEFT IT IN A DANGEROUS STATE. SO WE HAD TO GO IN AND TAKE OFF THE PART THAT WAS DANGEROUS.

SO IF IT'S IS IT, IS IT DO YOU KNOW IF IT'S TOO DANGEROUS TO ABATE? IT WOULD JUST REQUIRE AN ASBESTOS ABATEMENT, AN ASBESTOS ABATEMENT AND DEMOLITION.

PROBABLY A WET DEMO, RIGHT. SO IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE A WET DEMO.

LIKE THEY CAN'T GO IN AND ACTUALLY ABATE DUE TO PROBABLY THE HAZARD OF STRUCTURE.

MAYBE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE I'M QUALIFIED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

I DON'T WANT TO. I DON'T WANT TO MISSPEAK. I'D HAVE TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH FOR THAT ONE AT THIS POINT.

I'M SORRY. AT THIS POINT, IT WOULD PROBABLY JUST BE A WET DEMO, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE THERE HAS BEEN A DEMOLITION STARTED WHICH HAS ALTERED THE STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF IT, AND WE PROBABLY DON'T WANT ANYBODY IN THERE.

AND THE OWNER'S BEEN DIRECTED BY THE STATE TO DO SOMETHING RELATED TO ASBESTOS, BUT.

RIGHT. AND THERE'S BEEN NO ACTION. CORRECT. YEAH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IS THERE AN OPTION FOR THE CITY TO WET DEMO IT LIKE THEY DEMOED ORIGINALLY? WE WOULD PREFER NOT TO. WE WOULD PREFER THE OWNER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
