Gloria Rodriguez. 914 NW 2nd Street to either repair the roof or demolish the structure. Raul Rodriguez addressed the Magistrate on behalf of his sister Gloria Rodriguez, who
International Property Maintenance Code Ch 3 Sec 304.1.1(8) is the property owner. He stated a roofing company and a structural engineer both looked at the house. The engineer determined there
Unsafe condition and Sec 304.7 Roof damage was a lot of structural damage which would be very costly to repair. Based upon that determination, Mr. Rodriguez has decided to
demolish the structure. He requested more time to remove personal items from the house and either hire someone to do the demolition
or if possible do it himself. Magistrate Azcona asked Mr. Rodriguez how much time he thoughtwould be needed to complete the demolition.
Mr. Rodriguez said he plans to start at the beginning of April when he has five days off from work. Once he sees how much he
accomplishes during those five days then he will have a better idea when the project will be completed. The magistrate reminded Mr.
Rodriguez this situation has been going on for quite some time and needs to be resolved as quickly as possible. Mr. Rodriguez said he
was recently medically cleared by his doctorto return to work and would now be able to do more physical work in order to bring the property
into compliance.
Special Magistrate Azcona found Case No. 18-043, Gloria Rodriguez, 914 NW 2nd Street, remains in non-compliance and gave
property manager, Raul Rodriguez, ten days from this meeting to get a demolition permit from the City Building Department.
Magistrate Azcona set the matter for review at the next regularly scheduled Code Enforcement meeting to get an update from
Mr. Rodriguez as to the progress of the demolition.
