The Coppell Building and Standards Commission on Oct. 2 discharged the case for 407 Greenway Court after staff reported the property no longer meets the definition of a substandard structure. Desiree, the city's senior code officer, told the commission that all required repairs were completed except for one bathtub awaiting delivery and installation; the contractor expected installation on Oct. 6.

Desiree summarized the property's history: a structural fire May 28, 2022, followed by a sequence of board orders and supplemental reviews that led to permits and substantial repairs. "At this point, the structure does not meet the definition of substandard," Desiree said, adding that a final inspection will be scheduled once the bathtub is installed and that the permit will be closed on passing inspection.

A neighbor, Patrick Bolton of 403 Greenway Court, testified during the hearing and asked why pool and yard work are not tied to the final inspection. The commission chair and City Attorney Bob Hager clarified the panel's role: the Building and Standards Commission determines whether a structure is substandard; routine code violations such as pool, yard maintenance, and other exterior code matters are handled through code enforcement and municipal court, not this substandard-structure docket. "This boardwhen it's acting in this capacity, is to determine whether or not a building is substandard," the chair said during the hearing.

Desiree said staff will pursue ordinary code enforcement remedies if the pool and yard issues persist; those remedies can include notices, citations and municipal-court action. The commission adopted an order discharging the case, and staff will follow up with the owner if outstanding exterior code issues recur.

The discharge removes the property from the Building and Standards Commission docket; code enforcement staff retain authority to pursue remaining violations through municipal-court and administrative processes.
