A public compliance hearing held by the League City Zoning Board of Adjustment on October 2, 2025, focused on the deteriorating condition of a property at 2825 Pine Mills Drive, raising serious concerns about public health and safety. The property, which has been under scrutiny since 2020, has faced numerous code violations, including junk vehicles, overgrown grass, and structural damage.

Joe Gonzalez, the manager for Neighborhood Services, presented a detailed account of the property's decline, citing ongoing negligence by the owner, Mrs. Terrell. Despite multiple notices and inspections, the owner has failed to address the issues, leading to a significant public nuisance. The property has become a hotspot for criminal activity, including vandalism and possible vagrancy, prompting the city to board up windows and secure the premises.

Gonzalez outlined a timeline of inspections, revealing alarming conditions inside the home, such as extensive trash accumulation, damaged ceilings, and structural deterioration. He emphasized that the property poses a fire hazard and has attracted rodents, further endangering neighboring homes.

Given the persistent violations and lack of owner response, Gonzalez recommended demolition as the most effective solution to eliminate the ongoing health risks and restore safety to the community. The board is now tasked with deciding the fate of the property, which has become a symbol of neglect and community concern.
