In 2004 construction was completed on a new Station 33 a block or so south on Fannin. The old station was abandoned at that time by the city and then sold the property to SFI Partnership in 2007. SFI owns the nearby apartment complex on Phoenix Dr. A City of Houston violation notice was placed on the property in October 2005 and has yet to be removed. 2008 tax records for the property cannot be found.
From the City of Houston site:
Firehouse 33 helds the unique distinction of being one of the last stations to be housed in an original volunteer station—it being the city hall/fire station of the Brasewood section of Houston at the corner of Fannin and Brasewood and was annexed in 1950.
