[PETITION FOR RELIEF]
OUR FIRST CASE TO BE HEARD TODAY IS ITEM NUMBER TWO ON THE AGENDA AND CB 2054520 AT 1631 TALBOT STREET SOUTHEAST.AND THE PETITIONER IS HERE TO BE HEARD.
BETHANY, COULD YOU PLEASE JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS? MY NAME IS KEVIN RAMIREZ WITH KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY.
WE'RE HERE IN REGARDS TO 1631 TALBOT STREET BAY.
JUST WANT TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE TOWARDS YOUR TEAM AND HELPING US PREPARE AND BEING HERE SPECIFICALLY.
MISS CARROLL, GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS.
BUT I AM HERE ON BEHALF OF MISS CARLA.
SHE IS NOW ASSUMING THE PROPERTY AND WOULD LIKE TO COMPLY WITH THE CITY AND THERE ARE PREVIOUS VIOLATIONS FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT SHE'S JUST REALLY UNABLE TO TAKE ON.
YEAH. MY NAME IS ANITA AND THE OWNER FOR THE PROPERTY ONCE HE STARTED.
IT'S THE BASIS FOR THE APPLICATION.
SIR, THE BASIS FOR YOUR REQUEST.
I WILL NOT BE ASSISTING THEM IN THE SALE.
BASICALLY YOU'RE JUST ASKING FOR REDUCTION.
THERE'S REALLY NO BASIS FOR IT, PER SE.
THOSE WERE THE PREVIOUS OWNERS VIOLATIONS, FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.
AND IT WAS HANDED OFF BETWEEN INVESTORS THAT JUST DID NOT REALLY HAVE THE BEST INTENTIONS.
AND REALLY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A COMPLETE WAIVER OF THOSE VIOLATIONS, THE EXTENSIVE ONES.
OKAY. WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD.
VALERIE PEZZINI, CODE COMPLIANCE SUPERVISOR.
THE REDUCTION ON THIS TYPICALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A 13% REDUCTION DUE TO THE BALANCE ON THE LEAN.
I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S NOT THE OWNER, IT IS A NEW OWNER.
SO THE CITY IS WILLING TO CUT THE 13%, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN 3433 IN HALF, ALONG WITH THE $750.
YES. SO THIS POSITION IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AN OBJECTION IF THE TOTAL AMOUNT IS REDUCED TO 24.
[00:05:02]
2400. 100.SHE SAYS THAT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER AND HER SISTER TO TAKE ON.
YOU REPAIRS ARE PRETTY EXTENSIVE.
FORTUNATELY, INVESTORS IN THE AREA HAVEN'T DONE THE BEST JOB.
I UNDERSTAND THAT PART OF THE ISSUE THAT I HAVE IS.
ACCORDING TO THIS, THE PROPERTY WAS CONVEYED BY WARRANTY DEED.
ACCORDING TO THE RECORD THAT I HAVE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS OR IT WASN'T, BUT.
HOW MUCH MONEY? HAVE YOU GOTTEN ESTIMATES? IT'S PROBABLY A BETTER WAY TO ASK THIS QUESTION.
HAVE YOU GOT AN ESTIMATES AS TO HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO COST TO BRING THE PROPERTY UP FOR SALE? THE MOMENT. SHE'S ALREADY AT 45,000.
SHE IS ACTUALLY IN COMMUNICATION WITH WATER HERE TO GET A METER PLACED, I BELIEVE.
YEAH. SO SHE'S IN THE PROCESS AND THERE'S STILL A FEW ITEMS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF THERE.
WHAT I'M WHAT I'M REALLY ASKING IS I UNDERSTAND THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE.
BUT YOU YOU INDICATED THAT SHE'S GOTTEN $45,000 AS ESTIMATE.
BRING IT UP. WHAT I'M ASKING, WHAT IS THE 45,000 IS GOING TO BE SPENT ON? BUT WILL THE PLAN IS TO COMPLETE THE WORK THERE? WHAT KIND OF WORK? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S A NEW ROOF. IS IT NEW CABINETS? IS IT NEW? THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE DOING, THAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EXPENSE IS, IS INVOLVED GOING FORWARD.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, SIR.
YOU'RE SAYING IT WAS IT WAS A COMPLETE DEMOLISH.
SO BEFORE ONE OF THESE HEARINGS? I DON'T THINK SO.
THE ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR CASE IS THAT THIS VIOLATION WAS OUTSTANDING FOR 20 MONTHS.
AND. SO THE CITY HAS THEY HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS IN ADDITION TO THEM TAKING THE CASE THROUGH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT. AND THEY HAVE ADDITIONAL INSPECTIONS, WHICH IS PART OF WHAT THAT ADDITIONAL COST IS.
THIS, LEON SHOULD HAVE SHOWED UP IN THE TITLE SEARCH FOR WHEN? BUT THE PROPERTY. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE, BUT THAT SHOULD HAVE POPPED UP.
[00:10:09]
I ALSO KNOW THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX IT UP BASED ON WHAT? THE TESTIMONY. I'M.WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO ENTER AN ORDER.
NOW NORMALLY THAT AMOUNT HAS TO BE PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS.
IS THAT A PROBLEM FOR HER TO PAY THAT OR NOT? THE REASON I'M SAYING THAT IS BECAUSE IF IT'S NOT PAID WITHIN THE 30 DAYS, THE ORIGINAL FINE GETS REINSTATED.
I'M GOING TO LOWER IT TO 1750.
IT HAS TO BE PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS.
GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANK YOU TO ALL.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS ITEM NUMBER THREE ON THE AGENDA.
CB 2232021 130 8A1 CIRCLE SOUTHEAST AND THE PETITIONER IS HERE TO BE HURT.
HI. MY NAME IS ANTHONY GEORGE, I, I RESIDE AT 138.
UM. YOUR NAME? MY NAME IS MARIE GEORGE.
I'M THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, AND THAT'S MY HUSBAND OVER THERE.
SO DURING THE WHEN THE LEAN WAS OPEN.
WELL, WHEN THE FINE WAS OPENED.
I DIDN'T RESIDE HERE IN PALM BAY.
HER DAUGHTER HAD BEEN HOSPITALIZED JULY SIX, 2021 AND DID NOT COME OUT OF THE HOSPITAL UNTIL NOVEMBER 12, 2021, BECAUSE SHE WAS SHE HAD RSV, BLACK MOLD AND COVID AT ONE TIME.
AND WE I DIDN'T STUMBLE UPON THE PROPERTY AND SHOW BACK UP IN PALM BAY UNTIL THEY SHOWED UP. THERE WAS US.
WE DIDN'T LIVE HERE. WE LIVE IN PORTUGAL.
AND I, I SHOWED UP AT THE PROPERTY TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THEM GETTING HERE AND NOTICED THAT THE GRASS WAS STILL ABOVE WHERE I KNEW COACH WOULD WANT IT.
I HAVE THE TWO TRANSACTIONS HERE.
UM. SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY, I NOW LIVE AT THE ADDRESS.
I'M TAKING CARE OF THE YARD MYSELF.
JUST CURIOUS, DID THE NEIGHBOR SAY ANYTHING TO YOU WHEN YOU OR DID YOU EVER THE NEIGHBOR ACTUALLY SHOWED UP WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVED WANTING MORE MONEY ON TOP OF THE $3,000.
I HAD INFORMED THEM THAT I IN FACT SHOWED UP TWO DAYS PRIOR AND I CUT THE GRASS MYSELF.
RIGHT. SO I TOLD HIM, DON'T PAY HIM NO MORE MONEY.
YOU'VE ALREADY PAID HIM WAY TOO MUCH.
I THOUGHT EVERYTHING WAS BEING DONE, BUT IT WASN'T.
SORRY. I THOUGHT. I THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF SINCE I WAS SPAIN.
WHAT IS IT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR AS FAR AS RELIEF? UM. AS.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? REALLY? AS MUCH AS YOU CAN RELIEVE ME BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T HAVE WHAT THEY WANTED ME TO PAY.
[00:15:02]
AND WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? UNDER POSITIONS? CODE COMPLIANCE SUPERVISOR.I'M JUST A LITTLE HISTORY, MR. BEETLE. THIS PROPERTY HAS BEEN WRITTEN UP EIGHT TIMES IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS FOR THE EXACT SAME VIOLATION.
THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION TO A REDUCTION OF THE LIEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE OF THE $750 WILL BE PAID, ALONG WITH A 14% REDUCTION, WHICH SHOWS $1,599 PLUS THE 750.
THERE WERE FOUR VIOLATIONS IN 2021.
BUT. WERE THEY CITED FOR THAT OR.
YES, THERE WAS FOR ADDITIONAL FORCE.
THERE WERE A TOTAL OF FOUR CASES IN 2021 OR THE TALL GRASS AND WEEDS.
THEY GOT THREE OF THEM BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THIS ONE IS THE LEAN BECAUSE YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
MAY I SAY SOMETHING, YOUR HONOR? I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
WELL, THAT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE.
TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE.
OKAY. YOU HAVE ANY INDICATION WHO YOU WERE COMMUNICATING WITH FOR THOSE EARLIER IN THIS CASE WAS ACTUALLY LISA WEIGEL AND SHE'S THE CODE OFFICER FOR THAT AREA.
IT'S BEEN WRITTEN UP AND HAD A CASE GOING.
FOUR OF THEM WOULD IN 2021 AND.
THREE OF THEM CAME INTO COMPLIANCE, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY OBVIOUSLY HAD THE GRASS CUT.
THE LAST ONE THAT WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR NEVER WAS IN COMPLIANCE.
AND THAT'S WHAT STEMMED THE OPEN LEAN UNTIL RECENT.
WE WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE THEY INDICATED THAT THE PERSON THAT WAS LIVING THERE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.
SO I UNDERSTAND. I WAS WONDERING WHO WHO THE WHO THE RESPONDENT WAS, SO TO SPEAK, FOR THE PRIOR VIOLATION, I'D HAVE TO PULL EACH OF THOSE CASES TO SEE IF.
GEORGE. HERE'S HERE'S WHAT THE ISSUE IS, EVEN THOUGH YOU WEREN'T HERE.
WHETHER IT'S THE CITY OF PALM BAY OR ANY OTHER CITY OR COUNTY IN THE STATE, THEY'RE ONLY OBLIGATED TO GIVE NOTICE TO WHATEVER PROPERTY ADDRESS IS LISTED WITH THE TAX COLLECTOR OR THE PROPERTY APPRAISER IN THE COUNTY THE PROPERTY'S LISTED AT.
SO ALL THE NOTICES ARE GOING TO GO TO THE HOUSE ADDRESS ON A-1.
THAT'S WHERE THE NOTICES ARE GOING TO GO.
SO IF IT'S NOT FORWARDED TO YOU, THAT'S NOT THE CITY'S FAULT, QUOTE UNQUOTE.
SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN OR YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE AROUND, YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ADDRESS WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER AND THE TAX COLLECTOR AS TO WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE, BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET YOU ARE PERSONALLY ARE NOT GOING TO GET THE NOTICES.
IT'S ONLY GOING TO GO TO THE HOUSE.
SEE, IT WAS MY DAUGHTER LIVING THERE, SO I ASSUMED SHE WAS TAKING CARE OF THE THE PROBLEM.
BUT SHE WAS. SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL.
DID YOU SAY SHE HAD? SHE HAD COVEN.
SHE HAD BLACK MOLD AND RSV ALL AT ONE TIME.
THE HOSPITAL HAD TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE WHEN SHE SHOWED UP.
THIS IS HURTING THEM BECAUSE THIS ISN'T THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT THEIR DAUGHTER LEFT HIM WITH.
[00:20:03]
BUT EVEN NO. AS FAR AS I KNOW, SHE LIVES.WHICH IS THE LAST TIME I HEARD FROM HER WAS IN MELBOURNE.
I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO REDUCE THE FINE.
THE FINDINGS ARE GOING TO MAKE OR AS YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY.
THE TESTIMONY IS THAT YOU PAID SOMEBODY TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY AND THEY DIDN'T DO IT.
THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT MORE YOU COULD DO ABOUT THAT.
SO THERE WERE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.
I'M GOING TO AWARD THEM NO MATTER WHAT, WHICH IS $750.
THE ISSUE IS WHETHER I'M GOING TO ADD ANYTHING MORE TO.
WHAT I DO IS I'M GOING TO REDUCE THE FINE TO 1250 DOLLARS.
BIG QUESTION IS, IS HOW SOON CAN YOU PAY IT? AS I INDICATED IN THE PRIOR CASE, NORMALLY WE PUT 30 DAYS.
IF IT'S NOT PAID IN 30 DAYS, IT REINSTATES WELL PAID.
OKAY. THEN I'LL ENTER AN ORDER TO THAT EFFECT AND YOU'LL GET A COPY OF IT.
AGAIN, IT NEEDS TO BE PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS OR THE OLD FILE WILL GET REINSTATED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HAVE A GOOD.
HERE'S OUR FIRST CASE IS NOT HERE, SO I'LL SIGN AN ORDER CONTINUING IT TO THE NEXT.
I THOUGHT. WE DON'T HAVE A PHONE UP HERE TO DO IT.
YOU KNOW, WE'LL. THEY SIGNED THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING AND ITS MEETINGS ADJOURNED AT 125.
THE LAST CASE TO BE HEARD WAS CB 19890-19 AT 1071 BIANCO DRIVE NORTHEAST.
WE'LL JUST LET MR. BEADLE. CONTINUE IT UNTIL NEXT MEETING.
