Alva said staff reviewed the plans, checked FEMA requirements with Mr. Sanchez at the public work site and re-reviewed all documents before issuing the permit. “The owner for 112 Marlin had just submitted a new structural drawing showing how the pilings were going to be repaired,” Alva said. “...we just issued the permit, the building permit for the remodel this afternoon.”

Property owner David Chen spoke during the meeting and asked about the administrative fine assessed to the property, saying the amount was “$500 per day.” Chen also acknowledged prior direction to mow and maintain the yard and told the board he had the work done after being ticketed; a board member said they saw work done that same day.

Board members discussed whether to issue additional enforcement orders or file a lien to secure civil penalties. One member suggested filing a lien at the next meeting “just in case they’re trying to sell us from under.” Later in the discussion, board members agreed not to issue additional orders at this time and to monitor compliance; a member said they would retract the idea of putting a lien on Marlin for now. The board closed the item with a voice vote.

The board’s action leaves the permit in place and moves enforcement discussion to future meetings if the owner fails to follow through on the repair and cleanup steps described by staff and the owner.

Questions raised by the board included whether yard work had been completed (members reported seeing lawn mowing and cleanup), the status of the $500-per-day administrative penalty, and whether staff should pursue a lien if the owner attempts to sell the property before compliance work is finished. The board did not set a new compliance deadline at the meeting.

The building official will continue to track permit progress and compliance; the board indicated it may revisit fines or liens at a later meeting if needed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","South Padre Island - Substandard Structure Review Board","oneSentenceSummary","Building Official Filiberto Alva reported the owner of 112 East Marlin Street submitted structural drawings for piling repairs and the city issued a building permit; the board declined to issue additional enforcement orders at the meeting.","taxTitle","South Padre , Cameron County, Texas","taxId",57359,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6500204,"Owner of 119 East Kingfish requests more time; board notes administrative penalties and limited progress",63,729000,792000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5610238-4c4adc284f884c3cfe32c48b9382d53f&start=729&end=792","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5610238-4c4adc284f884c3cfe32c48b9382d53f/thumbnail_729000.jpg","/articles/6500204/Texas/Owner-of-119-East-Kingfish-requests-more-time-board-notes-administrative-penalties-and-limited-progress","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6500204-03b340e7fcbe797f2fc2e24335cbd5ea/orig.mp4?Expires=1770511333&Signature=oXQBs~skBynWOAZl6XrLCnbFGYRZh5SsPc3XDSU-Cu7CNfYXC9Kq5p38gTMhfzu0ydzTfcRAMxf75TZqaG1A3W6QBxR98N5oyS22RTOs0~PpcBqne-b7yWIimzxYLH-S09OBEXUPFDsQBWMx37qdEJf9NWnMgHVF1vF64p--~OwieSr~tutKvpJZ~rFrtKlHzWAKnswEsKwZETnQv-TNEA3dZQfV5eAC2xlbhV7XFY0jWh3kBZAKu8lnja~MYA~PcQbebYI0dtjhEledMtsKqkDVhu6zOKiAVO2IcqlJucFWfnIDFypDAt~~TL4lHijafqs5dWWTuI24bPNY0z3Nxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The building official reported the owner of 119 East Kingfish, identified in staff notes as Mr. Maldonado, called to say he would need three more months to complete the work on his house.

Staff said the last inspection requested was for the sewer line and that the inspection occurred on Aug. 1, 2025. The official described a visible pipe in the front yard and said staff had contacted the owner after the inspection so the trench could be covered. Staff reported the site had scaffold/trench protections in place but that the meter box and service disconnect for permanent power had not yet been requested; that connection will require work and scheduling by the utility (AEP).

On interior progress, staff reported Maldonado had started interior painting but that the work consisted of primer rather than final coats; staff described the sequence as tape and float, texture application and painting.

Board members noted administrative penalties are in place and that enforcement would continue if the owner did not complete work. Members clarified that Maldonado’s statement of needing three months was given by him on the call and represents his timeline from the date of the phone call (not a board-approved extension). The board took no action at the meeting and asked staff to monitor progress and return an updated report at a future meeting.

No specific new deadlines or extensions were granted by the board; members emphasized that administrative penalties continue to accrue as provided under SSRB procedures and that any formal extension request would need to come to the board for consideration.","Building staff reported Mr. Maldonado requested three more months to complete work at 119 East Kingfish.

The building official said staff contacted three contractors; only MAV Contracting responded with a demolition/project estimate of $103,500. The estimate, as described to the board, included demolition of concrete slabs and footings, the swimming pool, piling, driveways, patios and a gazebo; installation of a high-visibility safety fence; trimming or removal of foliage as requested by the board; and other site work. Staff also noted that portable restroom service and a Republic Services dumpster had not yet been observed on site.

Staff told the board there were outstanding submittals required for project compliance, including a revised project estimate, a $100,000 surety bond to secure possible demolition, a WPI1 application form and architectural plans showing all walls to be repaired.

Board members questioned whether the pool had been drained and whether any site preparation had occurred; staff confirmed the demolition quote covered pool and foundation demolition but that no contractor work had commenced. Because the owner had not provided a detailed timeline and only one contractor had submitted a quote, a board member moved for no action on the demolition item that day and asked staff to contact the owner and contractor and report back at the next meeting. The motion passed by voice vote.

The board left the demolition estimate on the table and asked staff to secure the missing documents and the required surety bond before returning the item for formal action.","Staff reported a single demolition quote of $103,500 from MAV Contracting for 204 West Gardenia Street and said work had not started despite a partial foundation permit. The board did not approve demolition and directed staff to get a detailed timeline, required surety bond and documents and return the item to the next meeting.","actionData","errors"]
