Dr. Federico Padua, 83, made a brief appearance before San Antonio Municipal Court Judge Peter A. Zamora.Padua was ordered to go to court after not complying for months with Code Enforcement actions at his boarding home located at 903 W. Craig Place.
The property was also cited after code enforcement officers found incorrect emergency evacuation plans posted in the home’s bedrooms and kitchen and determined that annual criminal background checks for staff were not provided. Padua remains out of compliance on the remaining eight cases, however, all of which pertain to permitting of the property and getting background checks processed.
If Padua had not come into compliance by Tuesday, he could have been convicted on misdemeanor criminal citations or faced fines well into the thousands of dollars.
