Commission authorizes demolition of unsafe structure at 400 Johnson
Summary
The commission adopted Resolution 3333‑2025 to authorize abatement and demolition of a damaged residential structure at 400 Johnson after staff reported extensive rubbish and unsafe conditions; the vote was unanimous.
City Attorney (Mister Morris) presented photographs and staff findings describing a former residence at 400 Johnson with severe structural damage, unsecured entrances and surrounding garbage and rubbish. Staff recommended abatement by demolition and noted ERT would clean surrounding debris.
Mayor and commissioners asked questions; Commissioner Garza moved to approve adoption of Resolution 3333‑2025 authorizing demolition and abatement, the motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Bryant, and commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the resolution. City staff indicated some trailers on the property that were not dilapidated might be addressed separately.
No fines or further enforcement steps were described in detail during the discussion; staff indicated prior attempts to work with the owner, identified in the record as Albert Hernandez, and that demolition was the next necessary step to address the unsafe condition.
