Residents accuse city of allowing unsafe zero-setback structure at 6602 Warwick Drive
Summary
Residents Denise and Hassan El Juhy challenged city permitting and code enforcement for a structure at 6602 Warwick Drive, alleging the building uses combustible vinyl on a 0-foot setback contrary to ESR 2280 and discharges runoff onto neighboring property in violation of Texas Water Code §11.086; they asked the council to enforce removal.
Two residents addressed the council to challenge a structure at 6602 Warwick Drive, calling it a life-safety violation and a failure of code enforcement. Denise El Juhy said the city's use of ESR 2280 to justify a permit is improper because section 4.3 of that report requires a noncombustible finish; she said the structure's vinyl exterior and zero setback make it an "unrated illegal assembly."
Hassan El Juhy cited a 2004 red tag issued by a senior building inspector and a 2016 rebuild he said occurred without permit; he asked council to uphold the written record of the building official and require removal or correction of the illegal structure. Both speakers invoked Texas Water Code §11.086 regarding runoff and asked the city to follow its own laws; no remediation action appears in the meeting record during citizens input.
