Building and Standards Meeting June 15, 2026 Page 3 Motion made by Morgan Cline, seconded by Kim Walker, to follow staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. 4-0 F. 944 W Houston ; City of Paris, Block 46, Lot 13 Owner: Dennis R Hobgood, 944 W Houston, Paris, TX 75460 We recently cleaned this property under BSC orders for junk and rubbish removal. During the cleanup, our abatement crew found buckets containing urine and feces in front of the property. We spoke with resident Brittany Biggs, who stated the property has electricity but no water. She also told Mr. Hooten, our Building Inspector, that they were renting the property from the ex-wife, who lives in New Mexico. However, Mrs. Linda Hood, the ex-wife who resides in Alabama, stated both two months ago and again this morning that she has never been contacted and has not given anyone permission to live at the property. After speaking with Mrs. Biggs, Lizzy and I returned to the property on June 1 to retag it for BSC. Brittany's mother, Mrs. Arrington, stated that her mother owns the property because Mr. Hobgood used it as collateral on a loan and the property was repossessed after nonpayment. We advised her that no documentation has been Bled with the County Clerk to verify this claim and requested that any supporting paperwork be provided before or at the meeting. The power of attorney also stated that there is no authorized person available to grant permission for occupancy. The deceased owner's two nieces in Louisiana cannot be contacted and reportedly have no interest in the property. The property has excessive junk and rubbish as well as outside storage surrounding the property. There are multiple junk vehicles that have already been worked and will soon be ready to tow. Jacie Brown's recommendation: Declare a nuisance, vacate, remove junk, rubbish and outside storage, and secure within 14 days, or the city has the right to do so. Motion made by Angie Briscoe, seconded by Morgan Cline, to follow staff recommendation. Motion carried unanimously. 4-0 G. 623 SE 6th ; City of Paris, Block 163, Lot 5 Owner: Roddy Cal & Mickie ; 935 5th NE Paris, TX 75460 Jacie Brown stated that there is no contact with the owner, HPC has approved this for demo after multiple attempts to save it.
