The San Antonio Code Compliance Board voted 5–0 on Nov. 6, 2025 to order demolition and securing of the main and accessory structures at 4631 Kwood (Playbirth) Drive within 30 days.

Staff presented photographs and a timeline showing a first inspection on Aug. 1, 2024, repeated notices and no permit applications. Jaime Jasso of the Department of Development Services told the board the house shows rot in the siding and framing, missing roof materials, exposed structural members and evidence of smoke damage. Jasso said utility services had been disconnected and that the property was not eligible for historic designation.

The property owner’s representatives, Ralph and Maddie Zamudio, and a neighbor who identified himself as the owner since 2016, testified they intend to repair the house and asked for time. A neighbor, Benny Becerra, told the board he had observed transient activity, past fires on the lot and sparks from electrical wiring, saying: “Quiero que, por favor, nos ayuden a que 46, 31 Cable Drive vuelva a ser seguro otra vez y no tengamos que ver estas cosas otra vez.”

Board members said they had considered the inspection history, lack of required permits and public-safety risk. A motion to demolish and secure the site carried by a 5–0 vote. The board directed staff to proceed with demolition within 30 days and to secure the property and utilities, with costs to be charged to the property as allowed by city procedures.

Staff files note a prior revocation action and a past administrative charge for the property; staff presented photographic evidence taken in October and November showing open holes in walls and roofs, missing siding, and interior collapse.

The board recorded the vote as 5 in favor, 0 opposed. The board’s formal motion referenced Article 8, Chapter 6 of the city code and related subsections cited by staff.
