Contractor seeks expedited permits for 1137 Indiana; board sets April 2 status check
Summary
Felipe of Hernandez General Contractor asked the board for expedited permits and clarity after 1137 Indiana was listed for demolition; inspectors said permits could be allowed if work proceeds, and the board set a status review for April 2, 2026.
Felipe, representing Hernandez General Contractor, addressed the board about property 1137 Indiana, which he said was purchased and had previously been submitted for demolition on Nov. 22, 2025. He told the board he had been waiting roughly two months for rehabilitation paperwork and asked whether permits could be expedited because he is incurring carrying costs.
Staff said inspectors were prepared to allow permit issuance if the owner pursued rehabilitation work and recommended keeping a demolition order option available if work did not continue. Staff suggested a short status review to monitor progress. The board set a status hearing for 04/02/2026 and asked Felipe to provide updates to staff in the interim.
The board’s action provides an opportunity for the contractor to pursue permits and complete work under staff oversight; it does not remove the city’s option to resume demolition proceedings if the rehabilitation does not proceed.
