Thank you for the update.The deplorable conditions of this property is ongoing and it is obvious the owner cares little to nothing about its appearance. I trust that inspections of this property will be made periodically to make sure the owner follows the city's requirements.

An inspection was performed for trash, grass, and gutters on 6/1/16, all three issues were in violation and has been processed and will be filed against in court.

A follow up inspection was performed for trash, grass, gutters, and mildew on 6/8/16, the grass was in the process of being cut, the trash, gutters and mildew was still in violation and will be filed against in court.

I hope the trash was picked up prior to the cutting. If not, the area would look worse. Also, how long does it take to file in court and if this is known, what happens if the owner does not comply?

DEFENDANT DID NOT APPEAR (ALL CASES) REFER BACK TO CODE ENFORCEMENT

The tenants should be displeased with the conditions too

More than likely, the tenants do not reside in the area and their only concern is making money. As long as we continue to support businesses that could careless about the surroundings and/or appearance of their businesses in our area, deplorable conditions will continue. However, our city's code enforcement personnel needs to be more adamant about forcing these businesses to follow the rules that are already in place.

Additional inspections were performed at the address on 6/16/16, 6/29/16, and 7/6/16. Issues observed on each inspection has been filed against building owner in court.

Obviously, getting a building owner to comply with the city's codes is a long process. It is so sad code enforcement personnel have to go through all of this just to force a building owner to improve the building and grounds of the premises.

Maybe the building owners do not need to have the property and it can be better used for something else like a vacant parking lot or and a building for Senior Citizens or renovated for holding events.

DEFENDANT DID NOT APPEAR REFER BACK TO CODE ENFORCEMENT

All charges against the PROPERTY AGENT has been dropped due to the fact that he has no ownership in the property and does not represent the owners in their legal matters.
The cases will be re-filed directly against the corporation itself.
An follow up inspection was performed on 8/5/16, and the following violations were observed and has been cited to court: 1) Grass, 2)Garbage, 3) Fence, 4) Gutter, 5) Mildew, and 6) Paint.

Thank you for continuing to keep this active. It is amazing to me to see the extent the City is having to go just because the corporation does not care about the upkeep and appearance of this property. I do feel this is happening due to where this property is located. I don't feel this same corporation would do the same if it owned property off the Highway 6 area of Missouri City.

Plead not guilty set for Pretrial on 10-12-16 (on 6 cases)

Defendant did not appear on remaining cases (REFER TO CODE ENFORCEMENT)

With all of the evidence against the corporation, surely they did not think they could get away with a not guilty plea. I sure hope the City of Missouri City can fine this corporation for the highest limit possible and force them to clean up that area and to KEEP IT well maintained.

A follow up was performed on 9/9/16, and all issues were still in violation being 1. Garbage, 2. Grass, 3. Gutters, 4. Paint, 5. Fence, and 6. Mildew. All issues were re-cited to court.

So how long must one put up with eyesore and violations in the neighborhood.

Plead not guilty set for Judge Trial on 2-22-17 (all cases)

It is unbelievable the length of time it takes to resolve this type of issue. How can they plead not guilty when there is so much physical evidence to show otherwise? Ms. West, thanks to your department for continuing to follow through. However, I just wished the City of Missouri City officials would development a policy that would force owners of businesses to clean up their properties within a specific time period and if they do not follow through, they must pay a very, very hefty penalty.

Complaint received regarding Garbage on the premises; the violation was observed and can be seen from the right of way. The violation will be added to the pending case and time will be allowed for it to be corrected due to the fact that the garbage was illegally dumped and in appearance it came from a nearby residence.
A phone message has been left with the owners agent regarding the issue.

According to the information provided, this case is set for Judge Trial in February. I sure hope the Judge forces the owners to not only clean the premises but pay a fine.

Fence Accessory Structure (2 cases) Plead no contest fine amount $209.00 each plus court costs & 5 cases dismissed. Protective Treatment (2) cases plead no contest fine amount $209.00 each plus court costs & (5) cases dismissed. Nuisance Weeds/Brush (2 cases) plead no contest fine amount $209.00 each plus court costs & (4) cases dismissed. Garbage Rubbish Unsanitary Matter (2) cases plead no contest fine amount $200.00 each plus court costs & (5) cased dismissed. Gutter (2) cases plead no contest fine amount $209.00 each plus court costs & (6) cases dismissed. Exterior Structure (2) cases plead no contest fine amount $109.00 each plus court costs & (5) cases dismissed.

Besides paying the fines, will the owners make the necessary improvements? Those fines are pennies compared to the cost of the work that needs to be done.

I agree, these fines are pennies. What time line is given for the improvements to be made? What happens if the improvements are not made by a specific time period?

An inspection was conducted on 11/14/17, and the violation was observed. I Have spoken with the property handler who informed me that his crew cleaned a pile of trash left a week ago and that they make weekly runs to sweep, pick up, and mow. He assured me on 11/30/17, that the current trash dumped will be removed sometime this afternoon (12/1/17) and request that we contact him directly when new issues arise, and he states he is not the person to contact to deal with any storm damage concerning the building.

Thank you for continuing to follow-up on this issue which was first reported over a year ago. This shopping strip continues to be one of the worst ones on Texas Parkway and I just wished there was more the City Of Missouri City (City Council) could do to force the owner/property handler to do to better maintain the property. It is obvious that the owner cares nothing about the appearance and maintenance of his own property and the City Of Missouri City's rules/regulations are not strong enough to force him to do more.

The garbage violation has been corrected.

Thank you for reporting this private property issues request via ShowMe&Fix. The issue you reported has since fixed and we are closing this issue.
