Owner SV Rehab LLC has an emergency demolition order for the two-story brick mixed-use building at 2044 S Preston Street. Inspectors found exterior brick walls bulging and bowing toward the sidewalk, separated mortar joints and pulled brick ties, plus a collapsing rear roof aligned with a 2½-story masonry chimney that’s threatening an occupied neighboring property—so the structure is posted as imminently dangerous to life and safety.
SV Rehab LLC, owner of the building at 2046 S Preston St, has an open property maintenance case after inspectors found the structure in severe disrepair and at risk of collapse. The exterior brick is crumbling with extreme cracks — including a vertical crack running the building’s full height with a roughly six-inch gap near the ground — and much of the mortar is missing, so the record says the building needs to be safely demolished before it falls on its own.
Owner Matos Duamny Vazquez has an open property-maintenance case after neighbors reported a construction company apparently operating out of the backyard at 5509 Reflection Dr. Complainants say the yard looks like a junkyard with bobcats and bulldozers kids have been seen climbing on, and they allege an illegally added second driveway. The case is open for follow-up inspections to see if equipment storage, driveway changes, or other conditions violate local codes.
