The San Antonio Building Standards Board convened on August 7, 2025, to address several key property cases, including a significant discussion regarding the property at 131 Spatch Street and a new case concerning 1335 Brighton Avenue.

The meeting began with a procedural discussion about the Spatch Street property. Legal representative Lucinda Arusco clarified that the board could not simply dismiss the case as it had already been initiated. Instead, the board voted to continue the case, allowing for further notices to be sent to potential owners. Board member Robert Binky made a motion to reset the case until further notice, which was unanimously approved by the board.

Following the decision on Spatch Street, the board moved on to the Brighton Avenue property. Bergarian Bledsoe, a dangerous premises officer from the city’s Development Services Department, presented the case. This was the first time the Brighton property was being reviewed by the board. Bledsoe provided details about the property, including its legal description and the owner’s information. He noted that all required notices had been properly issued and that the property was not eligible for historic designation.

The timeline of events regarding the Brighton property was outlined, highlighting inspections and notifications that had taken place over the past year. While some permits had been obtained, Bledsoe indicated that certain documentation, such as an engineer's report, was still pending.

The meeting concluded with the board's focus on ensuring compliance with city codes and addressing the necessary repairs for the properties discussed. The next steps for both cases will involve further evaluations and updates as required documentation is submitted.
