San Antonio board orders demolitions for multiple dangerous structures, resets one case for 90 days
Summary
The San Antonio Building Standards Board ordered demolitions for several fire‑damaged and dilapidated properties and reset one case (5246 Village Crest) for up to 90 days so an agent can supply a power of attorney, contractor scope and engineer and fire‑marshal reports. Votes ranged from unanimous to 5–2.
The San Antonio Building Standards Board on March 5 ordered the demolition of multiple structures found to be dangerous or dilapidated and imposed time and documentation conditions for one property it reset.
Across the hearing, staff recommended demolition for properties including 214 Brook Street; 267 North San Gabriel Avenue; 165 Stribling; 711 West Gerald Avenue (accessory structure); 256 Bridal Street; and others. Dangerous‑premises officers cited fire damage, missing structural members, open roof penetrations, rotted foundations, missing siding or floor assemblies, unsecured openings and evidence of vagrant or criminal activity as reasons for demolition determinations.
