Yall need to go look at this area on google maps.(and yes i realize those images are not recent) I think the county fire marshal needs to condemn the whole area.To call these things dwelling is a loose interpretation at best.Look more like RAT shacks built one on top of each other. One good fire would probably take out half a block . Im sorry for this woman for having to live across from this mess but if what im seeing here in these aerial pics are Representative of current condition's.The whole 3 or 4 street area is in need of a major clean up.

The homeowner should be held accountable for the cleaning.

The path to citizenship must run through there.

Yeah boy, the Glen is right up there with Camelot II. There are a few homeowners that truely try to take care of their home/lot. The problem is absent owners that mostly live out of state. Code Compliance is a joke. They send notices 50 times and wring their hands. If the owner doesn't reply with three notices the house gets torn down and the bill is sent to the owner. The city should have the ability to place a lien on the owners current property if they don't pay. Of course if you see anyone dumping call the police. We have to take care of our neighborhoods.

Sheriff P. Camidawg has a good idea. You have people who need rehablitation and are required to perform community service. Be a copy of Sheriff Joe and have them perform their "community service" cleaning up this property. If they want additional pay seize the property and auction it on the county courthouse steps

Ummm..., It's the Glen, a very ghetto area. People have been dumping there for years. Ever been on FM 1976? There are couches and junked cars in abundance. This person is worried about some garbage, how about the garbage that lives all around her?

This is an extreme Bexar County fail. If we are to have faith in our enforcment system at all then things like this should never have gone this far. Sheriff P, all eyes are on you. Work to get this California owned (the biggest problem with people from out of State owning property here) schitthouse cleaned up. And Don't Mess With Texas. I would like for this lady to empty numerous boxes of nails and tacks all over the road so that when people drive up to dump there, they drive away with four deflating tires.......
