The Bexar County Commissioners Court convened on August 5, 2025, to discuss the abatement of a property located at 27523 Twin Peak, San Antonio. The meeting focused on the authorization for the demolition of a primary structure and the boarding of a secondary structure on the site, which has been a concern for local residents.
Art Reinhardt, the Director of Public Works, presented a detailed overview of the property, which spans five acres and includes two structures. The primary structure, approximately 6,800 square feet, has suffered significant damage due to a fire, while the secondary structure measures around 3,000 square feet and will be boarded up as part of the abatement process. Reinhardt explained that the property owners had been unresponsive to previous notices of violation dating back to 2021, leading to court proceedings that ultimately resulted in fines.
The court discussed the abatement process, which requires public input before proceeding. Reinhardt noted that a contractor has provided a quote of approximately $23,000 for the abatement work. The county will cover these costs, and a lien will be placed on the property, ensuring that if it is sold in the future, the lien amount will need to be paid off by the new owners.
Commissioner Moody, who moved for the approval of the abatement, expressed appreciation for the efforts of Reinhardt and his team, highlighting the ongoing concerns from constituents regarding the property's condition. The court's decision to proceed with the abatement reflects a commitment to addressing public safety and community concerns in Bexar County.
