San Antonio building board orders demolitions, grants 180 days to repair one property
Summary
The San Antonio Building Standards Board ordered demolitions for multiple hazardous properties, reset several cases for more information, and approved a 180-day repair timeline (with engineering-report and monthly check-ins) for 350 Southwest 41st Street after owners presented financing and repair plans.
The San Antonio Building Standards Board on Feb. 5, 2026, found several residential structures to be public nuisances under City Code and ordered demolitions, while granting one owner time to repair a fire-damaged home.
Chair Dwayne Nelson presided over a meeting in which staff described multiple properties with structural failures, fire and water damage, exposed wiring, and evidence of drug activity. Dangerous-premises officers recommended demolition for 807 Elvira Street, 1027 Alameda Street and 1447/1449 Aransas Avenue; the board also considered repair plans and requests for additional documentation on other cases.
Why it matters: the board enforces the city’s building code to protect public health and safety. Several properties discussed are within 1,000 feet of elementary schools, and staff cited ongoing criminal activity and structural collapse as risks to neighbors and schoolchildren.
