Flat Top Fence Resolution Building and Fire Code Board of Appeals Meeting - 6/23/2021 Kade Damien Kade passed We can honor Kade By passing this resolution one month shy of his third birthday when his head became trapped between two bars on an iron fence. and prevent other kids, animals, and adults from becoming harmed. we can encourage council to start the code amendment process to help ensure safe fencing for everyone. What is this resolution doing? 01 02 03 Asking Council Stakeholders Actual Code Language to start a code amendment process would be involved in the code amendment process would be finalized later Flat-top fences are available: 01 At equivalent cost 03 Without the safety risk 02 With security features 04 Today Flat top fences don't cost additional money compared to decorative fencing. Picketed and spiked fencing is often decorative to begin with; security can still exist with a flat top. Impalement and entrapment risks are diminished when spikes are removed and slats are appropriately spaced. These fences are already on the market. DIY Examples Daycare DIY Shopping Center Before (top) and after (bottom) Before (left) and after (right) This would not apply to: Existing fences Fences over 6 feet Only new fences, or possibly fences that are being repaired Only fences six feet and under, with the goal to cover fences most at risk of harming children and animals Questions?

9500 Apartments Tenants Association 9500APTtenantsassociation@gmail.com (512)662-1386 “Silence of the Landlords” by the 9500 Apartments Tenants Association, April 10, 2021 9500 Apartments Tenants Association 9500APTtenantsassociation@gmail.com (512)662-1386 In the wake of Winter Storm Uri, many of the residents were without water for close to 4 weeks. Many of us went to the 9500 Apartments office that Monday, February 22, 2021 for answers. Our concerns went unanswered, with non-answers to our in-person questions, unanswered emails, no response to certified letters, no returned phone calls to messages left on voicemail, and a disconnected business line. Here are their accounts: Carlos: “There are so many things that can go through your head, when you are four days without electricity and 10 days without drinking water. There was no charcoal or wood to warm us, no way to get out through the ice. The hunger went away, we just tried to sleep wrapped in layers and layers of clothing, we lit up with candles and loaded our cell phones in the car. My 78-year-old mother fought for her life and we burned books and magazines to be warm, I felt terrible and was looking for hotels but they were full and how was I going to get there if everything was frozen .. one day the light came on at four in the morning , the emotion was so great that we bathed and prepared hot food, a noise of water interrupted us, I knew it was a water pipe but not where it would explode, the water began to flood the kitchen, we called 911 and nobody answered 311 and nobody He answered, to the fire brigade and they did not answer .... we were alone, I went out to the balcony and saw a figure shouting: "the laundry fell" .. it was maintenance, I told him I was flooding ... he ran and broke the wall and closed the pipe ... he told us you are not going to have hot water in the kitchen, but in the rest of the apartment, yes, but that was only the beginning, pipes everywhere burst and cut off our water. Without water, but with light, how long could this last? It lasted 2 weeks of uncertainty, of bathing with water from the pool, melting the ice, carrying water from the pool. Thanks to the neighbors who contacted Austin needing water and enough, we had drinking water in …

9500 Apartments _ Tenant Testimony original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 1 page

May 13th, 2021 Building and Standards Commission meeting testimony Hello my name is Alexis and I have been living at 9500 Apartments since 2018. I’m also a part of the 9500 Tenant Association. I am here on behalf of the many tenants that have experienced negligence from management in the form of; lack of communication and lack of repairs. Tenants need the following repairs or items have been removed from their unit with no definitive timeline of completion. Apartment conditions: ● Ripped out kitchen cabinets and kitchen and bathroom sinks ● Holes in walls and ceilings ● Exposed wiring and insulation (causing allergic skin reactions to the fiberglass) ● Hardware removed to prevent water usage in the kitchens and bathrooms ● Low or no water pressure ● Extensive water damage has caused mold to grow Communication and management behavior: Some of the behaviors management has taken against tenants have ranged from: ● Refusal to meet with the Tenant Association, after 4 written attempts requesting to meet ● Turning away Spanish speaking tenants and locking office doors in their faces ● Running away from tenants asking questions and threatening to contact lawyers ● Notices to evict tenants that have damages in their units ● Management sends the same blanket email stating that repairs are “underway” and asking us to be patient. Tenant displacement: Because of these conditions many tenants have taken it upon themselves to look for alternative housing. ● Many tenants have “unofficially” moved out because they canNOT live in their unit ● Some tenants have medical conditions that puts a strain on them financially and ● We are expected to pay full rent while living in substandard and dangerous emotionally conditions. Conclusion: We bring this to the Building and Standards Commission's attention: ● There are currently 16 active code cases ● at least 48 and counting code violations found We are actively supporting our neighbors and working with the Austin Code Department. We hope the commission will exhaust all enforcement mechanisms so that tenants get the repairs they deserve and can live in a safe and healthy environment. Thank you for your time
