DIXIE HIGHWAY NE AND THE COURT OFFICERS, VALERIE CARTER.GOOD AFTERNOON, MY NAME IS DAVID FATALIS, I'M HERE WITH ROBERT DALE RHOADES, WE ARE WITH TOMBO PARTNERS HOLDINGS CASE NUMBER ONE EIGHT EIGHT FIVE NINE DASH 18 FOR 4700 DIXIE HIGHWAY NORTHEAST.
THIS IS A PROPERTY THAT OUR COMPANY BOUGHT IN A FORECLOSURE AUCTION ON JANUARY 16TH OF NINETEEN. WE DID NOT DUE TO THE FORECLOSURE AUCTION.
HAVE THIS ON OUR TITLE SEARCH, I SUPPOSE.
HOWEVER, I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE CITY, WITH GROWTH MANAGEMENT, WITH PUBLIC WORKS, AND WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE OUR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FOR ONE HUNDRED UNITS. THAT WILL WAS FORMERLY A BLIGHTED HOTEL.
IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, THE VIOLATIONS THAT WERE OCCURRING HAVE ALL BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND THAT INCLUDES, IT LOOKS LIKE STORAGE OF A I'M SORRY, LEANING AND OR DAMAGE FENCE, STORAGE OF A JUNKED OR DISCARDED VEHICLE, AS WELL AS SEVERAL LARGE POTHOLES.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE TRASH AND OR DEBRIS IN THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY.
WE HAVE 16 APARTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED.
ROBERT L. ROADS, AS I MENTIONED, WHO IS OUR PROPERTY MANAGER, IS SHOWING APARTMENTS ON THE DAY ON THE DAILY.
AND DUE TO THE SCENARIO, WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT FEES BE WAIVED IN THIS CASE.
THANK YOU. THAT'S THAT'S YOUR PRESENTATION, SO FOR.
BUT HIS RESPONSE, THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN VIOLATION VALUE, HARDER CODE OFFICER, HIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN IN VIOLATION FOR QUITE SOME TIME UNDER PREVIOUS OWNERSHIP VIOLATIONS.
OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE STILL NOT TAKEN CARE OF UNTIL THE NEW OWNERS TOOK OVER.
AND BASICALLY THEY ARE RENOVATING THE ENTIRE PROPERTY.
YES, THE VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WITH THE RENOVATIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY GOING ON. I HAVE NO OBJECTION.
ON THIS PARTICULAR MATTER, PROBABLY SINCE THIS CASE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE TWENTY EIGHTEEN. I WOULD SAY ROUGHLY SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS.
YOU'RE NOT WE APPRECIATE THE CITY'S POSITION, WE ARE HAPPY TO PAY ENFORCEMENT FEES, JUST WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THAT WE HAVE SPENT UPWARDS OF EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS NOW RENOVATING THIS PROJECT.
SO ANY ANY ADJUSTMENT OF ENFORCEMENT FEES WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
BUT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, STANDING RESPONSIBLE AND READY TO PAY ANY SUCH ENFORCEMENT FEES.
BASED UPON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED AND THE MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED.
[00:05:05]
THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE BY THE CITY CODE.ALL THESE VIOLATIONS OCCURRED.
IRONER. AND REDUCED TO SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS.
ORDERS GENERALLY REQUIRE PAYMENT IN 30 DAYS, IS THAT A PROBLEM? AN ORDER ENTERED TO THAT EFFECT.
NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS C.B TWO ZERO SIX FIVE FIVE, DASH TWO ZERO TWO EIGHTY SIX HOFFA AVENUE NW.
AND A COURT OFFICER IS PHILIP CLENDENIN.
SORRY, THE CODE OFFICER IS A MANUAL SOTO.
I'M HERE FOR THE APPLICANT ON THIS CASE.
AND I REMOVE MY MASK AGAIN, PROBLEM BREATHING.
THANK YOU, FRANKIE RAMSBURG, I LIVE I LIVE AT THREE SIX NINE SKY VALLEY STREET IN CLERMONT, AND I HAVE A VIOLATION.
TWO WEEKS, SIX HAFFA AVENUE NORTHWEST.
THE REASON I COULD NOT ESCAPE OF THIS VIOLATION IS BECAUSE MY ADDRESS I INFORM TAMARAC, WHERE I USED TO LIVE, OF MY ADDRESS CHANGE TO CLAREMONT.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOME OF MY E-MAILS FROM THE MY MEDICATION AND A MAIL THAT ARE IMPORTANT GOES TO THAT ADDRESS IN TAMARACK RATHER THAN IN KLEEMANN, THIS VIOLATION THAT TOOK PLACE.
WENT TO THAT ADDRESS, I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT UNTIL A FEW LIKE LAST MONTH REGARDING THIS VIOLATION. SO I. I WOULD ASK IF I CAN GET THE FEES WAIVED BASED ON THE WRONG ADDRESS WAS SENT TO. PLUS, I'M A DISABLED VETERAN, I JUST LIVE ON MY PENSIONS, AND THIS IS THIS IS A VERY HIGH FEES GIVEN TO ME ON THIS PROPERTY.
WE GOT HIM ON TAXES THROUGH THE YEARS, I PAID HIM PROMPTLY.
I'M NOT BEEN LATE ON THOSE THOSE BILLS AND THAT'S ABOUT IT, SIR.
BUT HIS POSITION. CODE OFFICER MANASSERO, WHAT CITY BOMBI, THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO CODE VIOLATION.
THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION TO THE REDUCTION OF THE FINES.
BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY COSTS RELATED TO THIS CASE? AS FOR THE. PAY THE PRICE.
980. AND 76 CENTS WAS ON YOUR PHONE.
EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU AS FAR AS HOW THIS PROCESS WORKS, AS FAR AS CODE ENFORCEMENT.
YOU. PROPERTY DON'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE STATE.
YOUR ADDRESS IS MAINTAINED WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER AND THE TAX COLLECTOR IN EACH COUNTY, YOUR PROPERTY HAS AN ADDRESS THAT YOU PROVIDED OR WAS ON THE DEED WHEN YOU ACQUIRED TITLE TO THE PROPERTY.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CITY OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT IT IS, THEIR ONLY OBLIGATION IS TO LOOK AT THE ADDRESS THAT IS PROVIDED BY THE TAX COLLECTOR OR THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS OFFICE TO PROVIDE NOTICES UNDER THEIR CODE ENFORCEMENT PROVISION.
SO BASICALLY, THE WAY THE STATE LOOKS AT IT IS IT'S YOUR OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS BY MAKING SURE THAT YOUR ADDRESS IS CORRECT WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER AND OR THE TAX COLLECTOR.
OH, THE NOTICES THAT YOU WERE SENT, AMTRAC SAME ADDRESS THAT APPEARS ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS WEBSITE IN BREVARD COUNTY OR AT LEAST AT THE TIME THAT THE VIOLATIONS WERE.
[00:10:05]
I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT.A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT, BUT BUT THAT IS WHAT THE LAW IS, SO.
LOOKS LIKE YOU STILL HAVEN'T CHANGED YOUR ADDRESS WITH THE PROPERTY.
I DID. DO YOU NEED TO DO THAT? IT'S NOT UP TO THE CITY TO DO IT UP TO YOU.
I CHANGED THE PROPERTY APPRAISER.
YES. WE'LL SHOW YOU TAMARACK EDRA AS A COUPLE.
I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT I DON'T KNOW WHEN TAKEN CARE OF OR NOT.
YES, SHE CAN CONFIRM HAS BEEN.
I'M JUST KNOW TO IF YOU MOVE AGAIN, YOU NEED TO HEAR IT'S YOUR DUTY, SO TO SPEAK, TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT ADDRESS. I'M.
OUR CASES ARE. OK, PROPERTY APPRAISER HAS YOUR PROPERTY LISTED AT EIGHTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. LINES OR NEXXUS THOUSAND DOLLAR.
IT WAS I'M GOING TO REDUCE IT ON A REDUCED FINES TO.
HUNDRED DOLLARS. NORMALLY CASE THROUGH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT IS FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ANYWAY JUST FOR THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, BUT FOR THEIR TESTIMONY IS THAT THEY INCURRED THAT THE CITY INCURRED HARD COSTS.
IN OTHER WORDS, IT COST THE CITY OUT OF POCKET A THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AND I KNOCKED THAT DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT STILL GOING TO BE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS. NORMALLY, THE ORDER PROVIDES FOR 30 DAYS, YOU INDICATED MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT YOUR SITUATION BE ABLE TO PAY THE HURDLE.
WELL, I WILL TRY TO COME I, I CAN GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, BUT THE REASON I'M ASKING IS IN THE ORDER WE PUT DOWN WHEN IT HAS A.
IF IT'S NOT PAID IN THAT PERIOD OF TIME, THEN IT REINSTATE WHATEVER IT IS NOW GETS REINSTATED. I WANT TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT.
EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY DAYS IS OK, THEN IT'S A.
BUT. SO HE'LL GIVE YOU AN ORDER TO THAT EFFECT.
