Commission declares 300 South Houston substandard, orders repair or demolition within 30 days
Summary
Staff presented photos and testimony that 300 South Houston is severely deteriorated and unsecured; the commission found it meets the substandard criteria and approved Option 1 requiring repair, removal or demolition within 30 days and that the property remain secured and unoccupied during work.
The commission found that the house at 300 South Houston meets the criteria for a substandard structure and approved a remediation order requiring that the property be repaired, removed, or demolished within 30 days. Staff displayed photos and described the house as ‘‘completely deteriorated’’ and unsecured; the commission first voted to declare the structure substandard and then approved Option 1, which sets a 30-day remediation window and requires the property remain unoccupied and secured during work.
During the hearing staff noted multiple deficiencies including unsecured doors and burned and covered structural elements. A commissioner corrected the address wording on the record to confirm the property is 300 South Houston Street. The commission passed the substandard determination unanimously and then approved the 30-day remediation motion (moved and seconded as recorded in the minutes).
