1980 GLORIA CIRCRNA THIS BOMB BAY THREE TWO NINE ZERO FIVE.
AND COULD YOU PLEASE STEP CLOSER TO THE MICROPHONE? OK. AND COULD YOU PLEASE JUST INDICATE WHAT THE BASIS FOR YOUR REQUEST IS? YEAH, MY REQUEST.
IT'S ABOUT THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
I KNOW ABOUT ABOUT THIS TAKOTSUBO, BUT WE HAVE IN THE HOUSE FOR YEARS, FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT WE'VE BEEN APPLIED AND WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
WE'VE BEEN WAITING ON THE CLAIM AND THE GUY CAME TO ME A COUPLE OF TIMES ABOUT THAT PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM WE ARE WAITING ON THE INSURANCE COMPANY.
IT DOES NOT GIVE US A CHANCE UNTIL THE INSURANCE, YOU KNOW, HEARD FROM US.
AND THEN FINALLY, WE HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.
THE THE ISSUE'S BEEN RESOLVED.
YES. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN? IT BEEN RESOLVED, I GUESS, AND BY.
WE STARTED BEFORE THE HOLIDAY LAST YEAR.
IT'S BEEN RESOLVED BY FEBRUARY, AT LEAST FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.
HER HOUSE STILL IN FORECLOSURE.
NOT. BANKS STILL FORECLOSING ON YOUR HOUSE? NO.
WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION REGARDING THIS? RENAE PERKINS, CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, CITY OF BOMBAY, THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION IN A REDUCTION OF THE LANES WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL THE CITY'S OUT OF POCKET COSTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ARE COLLECTED.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES AND COST IS $700.
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS CASE, AND I ACTUALLY RAISED IT WITH THE CITY WHEN THIS WAS UP BEFORE. UM.
CITY. YOU'VE NOTICED THE DEUTSCHE BANK AND NOT MY UNDERSTANDING OR WAS NOTICED EVER PROVIDED TO THE.
TO MICHAUD REGARDING THIS CODE ENFORCEMENT ISSUE.
HERE'S ALL THE NOTICES WERE PROVIDED TO DEUTSCHE BANK NOT TO MISS MICHEL.
I HAVE A DUE PROCESS CONCERN REGARDING THIS.
IT DOES APPEAR THAT ALL THE NOTICES WERE SENT TO DEUTSCHE BANK IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.
WHICH WAS THE OWNER OF RECORD.
ACCORDING TO THE PROPERTY PRICES AT THE TIME THAT THE VIOLATION WAS.
[00:05:05]
NOTICED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS.BUT. IF WE GET A TITLE THAT WAS ISSUED IN 2015.
THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE PACKAGE.
VIOLATIONS DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL FOUR YEARS LATER, SO.
JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS WEBSITE.
I GUARANTORS OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S ON THERE.
FACT THAT THIS PACKAGE APPEARS TO HAVE.
IPO ORDER VACATING THE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE, THE DEUTSCHE.
REFERRED IT BACK TO MRS. SHOW.
EVENING FURTHER. THE PROPERTY APPRAISER IS ONE OF THE LAST SHEET THAT SHOWS DEUTSCHE BANK ON IT WAS PRINTED OUT ON NINE TWENTY TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN.
I UNDERSTAND. I'M NOT I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE PROPERTY APPRAISER INCORRECTLY HAD THAT LISTED BECAUSE I ACTUALLY INVOLVED.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS I'M ALSO INVOLVED IN A LAWSUIT RIGHT NOW AND ONE OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT THE.
IDOL THAT'S REFLECTED ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISAL WEBSITE IS COMPLETELY INACCURATE.
WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO BACK BEHIND WHAT'S LISTED ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS WEBSITE AND LOOK AT THE DEEDS WE HAVE TO DO.
UM. ANYWAY, DOES THE CITY HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER? GOOD IS THE SHOW, WERE YOU AWARE OF THESE PROCEEDINGS WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD? WHAT IS THIS? DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS WAS GOING ON, THAT THIS CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDING WAS GOING ON? FINALLY, THIS ISN'T GOING ON.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT IT WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING? DID THE CITY GIVE YOU ANY NOTICE OR DID YOU TALK TO ANYBODY IN THE CITY WHEN, WHEN ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING OR NOT? I HAD THE LETTER WHEN, I GUESS WAS THE LAST DAY OR LAST WEEK WHEN THEY SAID IF THE HOUSE DOES NOT FIX, THEY CANNOT CHARGE ME FEE.
BUT WHEN WAS THAT? IT'S PROBABLY END OF 2019.
YOUR APPLICATION, IF I'M READING THIS CORRECTLY, YOU WANT THE REDUCTION TO $500, IS THAT WHAT I'M READING? YES, SIR.
YOU KNOW, I HATE TO DO THIS THIS WAY, BUT I'M GOING TO KIND OF SPLIT THE BABY ON THIS ONE. IT APPEARS THAT ALL THE NOTICES PRIOR TO.
THE. ORDER ENTERED BY THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD WAS WAS WE'RE ALL SENT TO DEUTSCHE BANK, WHICH. REALLY, EVEN BASED ON THE INFORMATION THE CITY HAS IN THE PACKET BIRD THAT THEY LOST QUOTE UNQUOTE LOST TITLE IN 2015, WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS BEFORE THIS CODE ENFORCEMENT MATTER PROCEEDED.
UM, HAVING SAID THAT, IT ALSO APPEARS BASED ON AS MICHELLE'S TESTIMONY THAT.
AT SOME POINT SUBSEQUENT TO THE ENTRY OF THE ORDER, THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD ORDER IN APPROXIMATELY DECEMBER 2019, SHE ACTUALLY RECEIVED ACTUAL NOTICE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE ORDER. MICHELLE, DID YOU TAKE ANY ACTION OR GO TO THE CITY AFTER YOU RECEIVED THE NOTICE?
[00:10:08]
I JUST CAME TO THE CITY, I DID COME TO THE CITY AND THEN I SHOWED THEM THE EMAIL I HAD FROM THE INSURANCE. I TOLD THEM, I'M WAITING ON THE INSURANCE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON OUR OWN.AND THEN THEY SAID THEY CAN'T HELP ME BECAUSE AT THAT TIME, MY HUSBAND'S NAME WAS NOT.
FOR SOME REASON THE HOUSE WAS IN FORECLOSURE.
THEY NEVER PUT HIM BACK ON IT, HIS NAME SO.
AND THEN COSMO FIRST MET, TOLD ME THEY CANNOT EVEN PUT A NOTICE FOR ME BECAUSE THE HOUSE IS ON THEIR DEUTSCHE BANK.
ALL RIGHT. BASED UPON ALL THOSE FACTORS, I AM GOING TO.
IS THE FINE, BUT I'M GOING TO REDUCE IT TO THE $500 REQUESTED.
LIKE I SAID, I'VE JUST GOT SOME DUE PROCESS CONCERNS ABOUT ACE AS A WHOLE.
SO HOW SOON CAN YOU PAY THIS? NORMALLY IT'S 30 DAYS, SO 30 DAYS.
SOMETIMES I CAN EXTEND IT A LITTLE LONGER, BUT I JUST NEED TO KNOW.
THE PROBLEM IS IF I ENTER THE ORDER, YOU DON'T PAY IT.
WITHIN THE TIME THAT'S PROVIDED, THE OLD ORDER WILL BE REINSTATED ME INSTEAD.
SO IF YOU CAN'T PAY IT IN 30 DAYS AND YOU CAN DO IT IN 60 DAYS, I CAN GIVE YOU 60 DAYS.
OK, THANK YOU. AND YOU CAN ORDER.
ONE NINE THREE FOUR ONE ONE EIGHT AT THIRTEEN EIGHTY NINE GERALDO'S CIRCLE NORTHWEST AND THE COURT OFFICER AS ANGELICA SNEED.
I GUESS UP CLOSER TO THE MIKE TO PLEASE SELINA MOHAN ADDRESS IS ONE FOR ME ROAD, WEST MELBOURNE. I'M HERE TO ACCEPT REDUCTION, IF NOT REMOVE MY CHARGES.
BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS VIOLATION AGAINST THE LOT, AND I FIRST GOT THE LETTER IN OCTOBER AND I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO IT BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WAS DYING OF CANCER AND I WAS RUNNING TAKING HIM FROM HOSPITAL TO HOSPITAL, AND HE DIED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. AND THEN I GOT ANOTHER LETTER SOMEWHERE IN MARCH, AND THAT'S WHEN I CAME TO THE CITY AND I FILL OUT THIS PETITION FOR RELIEF.
AND MY HEROIN WAS LAST MONTH, AND ON AUGUST 3RD, I GOT COVID.
AND I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR ALMOST A MONTH FOR COVID AND SYMPTOMS OF STROKE.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER? OK. AND WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION AND COULD YOU PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF? ANGELICA SNEAD, CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, CITY OF PALM BAY, THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION AND A REDUCTION OF THE SCENE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL THE CITY'S OUT-OF-POCKET COSTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ARE COLLECTED.
UM, WE HAVE THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS FOR THE MOWING AND SEVEN FIFTY AND ADMIN FEES.
IF ANYTHING, YOU'D LIKE TO ADD AT THIS POINT.
UM, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER, MA'AM? I JUST HAVE, YOU KNOW, EVIDENCE THAT I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AND.
LET ME LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU TO.
WHEN SOMEBODY PURCHASES PROPERTY AT A TAX DEED SALE, IT'S BASICALLY WHAT THEY CALL BUYER BEWARE. SO THE FACT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS LIEN IS ON YOU, SO TO SPEAK.
SO I MEAN, SAYING IT ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN'T QUOTE PLEAD IGNORANCE FOR NOT KNOWING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE LAW IMPOSES OR IMPUTES THAT KNOWLEDGE TO YOU.
SO AND I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT THE YOUR HEALTH AND IN THE OTHER PERSON'S HEALTH. AND I WILL TELL YOU THAT NORMALLY CITIES HAS AROUND, I'LL JUST USE AROUND BECAUSE THAT'S GENERALLY WHAT THE TESTIMONY HAS BEEN IN MOST OF THE OTHER HEARINGS.
IT'S JUST THE BASE COST OF THE CITY FOR STAFF.
TIME IS $500 TO COMPLETE A PROCEEDING BEFORE THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD.
[00:15:04]
AND I'M GUESSING THERE'S ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BECAUSE IT'S UP TO 7.50, AND THEN THEY ALWAYS IF THERE IS SOMETHING WHERE THEY HAVE TO GO, CURE THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS WHAT THEY WHAT THEY'RE SAYING THEY DID HERE.THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL A HARD COST FOR THEM, SO.
SO UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S THE WAY IT KIND OF IS.
YOU CAN'T JUST GET RID OF ALL OF IT, SO TO SPEAK.
BASED ON WHAT THE CITY'S TESTIFYING, WHAT THEY WILL ACCEPT, AND I'M WILLING TO REDUCE THE FINES AND THE FEES DOWN TO BE ONE THOUSAND SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS AND 75 CENTS.
UM, IS THERE ANY THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM PAYING THAT IN 30 DAYS? UH, YES, I INDICATED TO THE PRIOR PERSON I CAN GIVE YOU 60 DAYS, IF THAT'S A PROBLEM, I'M NOT LOOKING. I HAVE ANOTHER ONE TO HEAL.
WHEN DO YOU THINK HE COULD PAY IT THEN? IT'S LIKE I SAID, THE PROBLEM IS IS THAT IF IT'S NOT PAID WITHIN WHATEVER TIME IS IN THE ORDER, IT GETS REINSTATED SO.
I MEAN, YOU THINK YOU CAN DO IT IN 90 DAYS? OK. ALL RIGHT.
I CAN DO THAT, AND IF IF YOU CAN'T DO IT IN 90 DAYS, YOU NEED TO COME BACK TO THE CITY AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK THEM TO BRING IT BACK BEFORE ME TO EXTEND THE TIME.
OK. SO IT'S GOING TO BE REDUCED TO A THOUSAND SIXTY FIVE SEVENTY FIVE IF YOU PAID IN IN 90 DAYS. OK, THANK YOU.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS S.B.

CARTER HAD RESPONDED BY SAYING THERE HAD BEEN IMPROVEMENT ON THE PROPERTY, BUT IT WASN'T IN COMPLETE COMPLIANCE.
AND AT THAT POINT, WE CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO THE RESIDENTS AT THE PROPERTY BECAUSE IT WAS VEHICLES AND TRASH AND DEBRIS THAT THEY HAD TO REMOVE.

[00:20:05]
BEEN HOSPITALIZED.THEY GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL IN JULY OF 2020, AT WHICH TIME WE STILL HAD ISSUES CONTACTING THEM.
THERE WAS SEVERAL VOICEMAILS LEFT, BUT WE STILL HAD ISSUES CONTACTING THEM.
A DNA IN REGARDS TO GETTING A RESPONSE FROM THEM AT THAT POINT.
THEY DID REMOVE THE VEHICLES THAT WERE BEING PARKED.
I DID REACH BACK OUT TO THE COURT OFFICER OF FORCE ABOUT THE PROPERTY WAS IN COMPLIANCE, AND IT WASN'T BECAUSE THE RESIDENT WOULD CONTINUE TO PARK AFTER TIME BEING IN COMPLIANCE.
THEY WOULD THEN CONTINUE TO PARK THEIR.
AS OF AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, THE PRESIDENT HAD BEEN IN COMPLIANCE.
AND TODAY THERE WAS A VEHICLE PARKED IN THE BACK, SO WE ARE HAVING A SEVEN DAY SHOOT, BUT IT WAS FOUND IN COMPLIANCE AUGUST THIS YEAR.
AND WE HAVE DONE WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD.
WE DID SEND SOMEBODY OUT TO MOW THE LAWN AND ALL EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. HOWEVER, OUR RESIDENT IS NOT MAINTAINING COMPLIANCE.

AND, YOU KNOW, IF THEY CAME IN TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND WHAT HAPPENED THIS TIME, I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE GRASSY AND I WAS GOING ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY NOTICE. AND WHEN I CALLED THE APPRAISAL OFFICE, THEY HAD THE WRONG ADDRESS.
YOU NEED TO HAD THE RIGHT IDEA, BUT THEY HAD THE PROBLEM OF VACANT LAND AS AN.
AND THEY WERE SENDING ALL THE NOTICE TO THE VACANT LAND.
I AND THE ONLY WAY I WOULD MAKE JUDGMENT ON MR. BARMEN, MR. BARMAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH YOUR PHONE, BUT YOU'RE YOU'RE FADING IN AND OUT OF THE PROPERTY.

APPRAISER HAD THE WRONG ADDRESS.
EVERYTHING AT THAT. WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.
YES. SO THE PROPERTY APPRAISAL HAD THE WRONG ADDRESS, MAILING ADDRESS.
THEY HAD THE ADDRESS OF THE OF THE VACANT LAND AND THEY WERE SENDING ON ALL THE NOTICES THAT. SO I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE JUDGMENT.
AND THE ONLY WAY I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE JUDGMENT WAS THAT MY PARENTS SUBMITTED THEIR PROPERTY AND I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND SEARCH FOR THE DEED.
AND WHAT I DID, SO I SAW, I SAW THE JUDGE AND I, IF I, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE JUDGMENT.
I CALLED THE APPRAISAL OFFICE AND I STRAIGHTEN EVERYTHING OUT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CHANGED MY MAILING ADDRESS TO THE PROPERTY.
I JUST BUT YOU KNOW, BEFORE THAT, EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO MY HOME.
I JUST NOT PUT IT, YOU KNOW, AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A VACANT LOT.
SO THERE IS NO MAILBOX OR NOTHING.
SO THAT IS THE REASON I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT, AND IF I DID, YOU KNOW, I WOULD OBVIOUSLY ADDRESS IT AS IT ALWAYS DID IN THE PAST.
OK. ALWAYS BE MY, YOU KNOW, TAXES ON TIME, YOU COULD ARGUE THAT I'M NEVER LATE, I EVEN SAY, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE TIME, OK? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER? NO, I DO NOT KNOW.

AND THEY'RE AGREEABLE TO A REDUCTION TO ELEVEN POINT EIGHTY FIVE, 75.
DO YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT? OH, I DO, I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT THAT IT WAS HAPPENING.
SO BUT IS THERE ANYTHING HE CAN DO? I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, OBVIOUSLY THE CITY WERE GETTING ALL THE ENVELOPES BACK THAT THEY WERE
[00:30:01]
SENDING TO YOU BECAUSE OF THE VACANT LOT.SO WELL, THE THE PROCEDURE IS IS IF IF MAIL COMES BACK, THEY CAN POST THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS APPARENTLY WHAT THEY DID.

PROCESS, WHETHER IT'S BEFORE A CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD OR A CODE ENFORCEMENT SPECIAL, MAGISTRATE HAS A RIGHT TO RELY ON THE PROPERTY ADDRESS THAT'S THAT'S MAINTAINED BY THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS OFFICE OR THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE ADDRESS MAINTAINING THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS OFFICE.
SO I DON'T SO I DON'T, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND, BUT YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY CHANGED MY ADDRESS.
