OUR FIRST CASE TO BE HEARD IS SIB 18481, DASH ONE SEVEN AND SEB 2244621 AT 2850 SHAWANDA AVENUE
[PETITION FOR RELIEF]
NORTHEAST. AND THIS IS A REPAIR AGREEMENT EXTENSION.I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE THAT I'M BACK AGAIN, BUT I HAVE NOW DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBATE IS IN BREVARD COUNTY, AND I HAVE THAT FOR YOU.
PROBATE WILL TAKE NO LONGER THAN 30 DECEMBER 31ST.
OBJECTION TO THAT. I HAVE ONE QUESTION.
THE PROBATE WILL BE DONE ON DECEMBER THE 31ST, SUPPOSEDLY.
SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, IS ONCE THAT'S DONE, HOW MUCH TIME ARE YOU GOING TO NEED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR? WELL, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE SOME CAMPERS NOW THERE THAT ARE LIVING IN THE BACKYARD AND HAVE MOVED IN TO THE AREA THAT IS COMPLETELY UNINHABITABLE.
THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I DIDN'T OWN THE PROPERTY.
SO I KNOW IT'S TYPICALLY 120 DAYS, BUT WITH THE LEGAL TO GET THESE PEOPLE OFF IS GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE.
NO. MAYBE THE POLICE MAY DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT ONCE YOU HAVE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY TOO.
I DON'T KNOW THAT, BUT I'M JUST SAYING.
AND THEN THE CURRENT RESIDENT IN ONE OF THE PLACES, SHE HAD A LEASE AND SHE TOLD THE POLICE, OH, I KNOW, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. SO DO YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH 150 DAYS? ALL IN AN ORDER TO EXTEND 150 DAYS.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CV 2064920 AND 19609.
DASH ONE NINE AT 20 608 PERALTA DRIVE SOUTHEAST.
IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND YOUR ADDRESS.
I HAVE A LETTER HERE. IT'S ACTUALLY MY MOTHER'S PROPERTY, BUT I DON'T NEED IT.
SO THIS ADDRESS IS THE PROPERTY THAT I GREW UP AT SINCE 94.
SO. BUT ANYWAYS, IN OH EIGHT, MY FATHER PASSED AWAY DECEMBER 13TH.
AND I STARTED A LONG BUSINESS.
I MOVED OUT, GOT MY OWN PLACE.
I'VE NEVER WELL, I'VE NEVER GOTTEN ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
[00:05:03]
CODE VIOLATIONS.I WASN'T THERE FOR. SIX YEARS.
ANYWAYS. I'M TRYING TO BUY THE HOUSE NOW.
PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING'S DONE.
READY TO CLOSE? JUST THIS CAME UP.
OTHER. NOTICES WOULD HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO HER.
YEAH. WOULDN'T SAY EVER RECEIVED.
BOUGHT THE LOT NEXT DOOR. I'VE FENCED IT ALL AND.
DRIVEWAY NEXT DOOR WITH A CULVERT PIPE PULLED PERMITS.
I GUESS EVERYTHING'S IN COMPLIANCE NOW.
ANGELICA SNEED, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
AND THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION.
I'M GOING TO DO THE EACH CASE.
SO FOR CASE NUMBER 20649, ASKING FOR 13% OF THE FINES.
AND FOR CASE 19609 ASKING FOR PERCENT OF THE FINES.
SO IF WE TOTAL IT OUT, THE TOTAL LEAN TO BE PAID WOULD BE $11,000 IN $11,096.18.
THAT'S WHAT THE $750 ADMINISTRATION FEE.
$500. THEY SHOULD DO YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE.
UH, ACTUALLY, IT'S A BIT MORE LIKE IT'S A LITTLE BIT OVER 10,000 BECAUSE IT'S 13% FOR THE FIRST CASE, WHICH IS THE TOTAL FOR BOTH WAS 11,096. YEAH.
YEAH. IT INCLUDES THE ADMINISTRATIVE CAUSE.
YEAH. ONE, SHE ONLY DID ONE $750.
I ONLY HAVE NOTED AS ONE $750 ADMIN FEE FOR BOTH OF THE CASES.
SO THE PROPERTY WAS IN VIOLATION FROM.
THEIR CASE. THEY BOTH CAME INTO COMPLIANCE MARCH 1ST OF 22.
THE OTHER CASE WAS IN VIOLATION.
WRITING IN 2020, SAYS JULY 2020.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AND RESIDENTIAL AREA RV PARK.
TRASH AND DEBRIS. WHAT'S CONSIDERED A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE.
[00:10:03]
I MEAN, I'VE ALREADY FOUND OUT.PROBLEM IS EVERYTHING THAT I CAN SEE IS YOUR MOTHER GOT NOTICE? NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T.
PROBLEM IS YOU DON'T GO, YOU CAN'T QUESTION.
YOU'RE ASKING QUESTIONS. 2020 VIOLATION.
PICTURE OF WHAT THE VIOLATION WAS.
I MEAN, IN AND OUT ALL THE TIME.
THIS REALLY WAS WAITING ON GET THAT PROPERTY CLEANED SO I COULD PUT STUFF BACK THERE.
WHAT, LESS THAN $11,000? RIGHT NOW THAT. THE GENERAL RULE ASKED FOR 750.
GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO ENTER AN ORDER REDUCING THE FINE TO BE $750 PER CASE.
SO IT'LL BE 500 TOTAL FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE COST.
[00:15:02]
AND. GOING TO REDUCE.I'M GOING TO GRANT PART OF WHAT THE CITY IS ASKING FOR.
I'M GOING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ALLOCATE IT, BUT THE TOTAL WILL BE 5000.
I WAS WATCHING VIDEOS ONLINE AND THEY.
SOME PEOPLE GET DOWN LIKE 1% OF THE ACTUAL.
I GUESS THAT'S PART OF IT, HAS IT? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING, BUT.
OR THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE NATURE OF THE VIOLATION, HOW LONG IT'S BEEN THERE, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF WHAT GOES INTO THE ANALYSIS OF HOW HARD TO DROP IT.
NO, I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION, BUT CITY'S POSITION IS, IS THEY HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND.
THAT'S A THING THAT'S GOING ON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT'S NOT GETTING TAKEN CARE OF.
NO. WE GET IT? LIKE 5000. I'LL PAY IT TODAY.
THIS VERSION. I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THAT.
THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION TO THAT.
AND IT'LL GO UP TO THE ONE I JUST SAID.
WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL AFTER THE MEETING IS OVER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PAY.
OKAY. DEBIT CARD TRANSACTIONS ARE BIG.
IT'S A BUSINESS DEBIT CARD, SO IT SHOULD.
WE HAVE TO STAY HERE TILL THIS IS OVER.
IN ORDER THAT'LL BE ENTERED, IT'LL SHOW UP IN THE TITLE WORK.
BUY IT FROM YOUR MOM. THAT WAY IT'LL SHOW UP THAT THE FINES BEEN REDUCED AND THEN THE CITY WILL.
IF SOMEBODY FROM THE CITY WILL EXECUTE A SATISFACTION.
RECENTLY. HOW LONG WAS THAT USUALLY TAKE? THEY CALLED ME ON MY WAY HERE AND THEY SAID.
TO GIVE ME PRETTY MUCH GIVE THEM SOMEONE'S PHONE NUMBER TO TALK TO ABOUT.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS KB 1662115 AT 1214 SHEL COURT NORTHEAST.

YOUR HONOR, JUST SOME BACKGROUND REAL QUICK.
GOD PLEASING IS A SMALL IT'S A ONE PERSON LLC.
VIVIAN USAF IS THE PARTY AND SHE BASICALLY BUYS TAX DEEDS.
THIS. THIS LIEN IS ACTUALLY PART OF A TAX DEED WAS ORIGINALLY BACK IN 2015 ON MR. WILHELMI, WHO ORIGINALLY OWNED THE PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY THAT WENT TO TAX SALE AND MY CLIENT BOUGHT IT IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR AND WE HAD THE QUIET TITLE ON IT AND IT GOT SOLD RIGHT AWAY.
WE HELD MONEY ASIDE IN ORDER TO PAY THE.
THE VARIOUS LIENS THAT WERE ON THE PROPERTY.
[00:20:04]
OUR OWNERS, MR. AND MRS. PHIPPEN, ARE RENOVATING THE PROPERTY CURRENTLY.MY CLIENT OBVIOUSLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIEN.
BASICALLY, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SATISFY IT AT THIS POINT.
I'M. WE WERE ASKING THAT YOU'D CONSIDER REDUCING IT DOWN TO $1,000.
BASED ON THE FACT THAT SHE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
AND THEN ON TOP OF IT, WE BASICALLY IT'S BEEN SOLD TO A PARTY.
HE'S BASICALLY GOING TO BE BRINGING THE PARTY, BRINGING THE PROPERTY BACK UP.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY CONTINUING VIOLATIONS FROM WHAT I COULD TELL.
THE CITY IS ASKING FOR 14%, WHICH WOULD BE 14 93.78, PLUS THE 750 ADMIN FEE, WHICH A TOTAL OF $2,243.78.
WELL, THE TAX DEED WAS BOUGHT FOR 35,800.
VALUATION THAT YOU USED UNDER THE STATUTE.
RESPONSE TO THE CITY'S POSITION.
NOW I JUST ASK IF WE CAN REDUCE IT TO 2000 EVEN.
YES, I HEARD HIS RESPONSE WAS, AND I HAVE THE THOUSAND EVEN.
YEAH. THE CITY IS REQUESTING THE 2243 78.
CLIENT WHO'S BUYING THESE TAX DEEDS THAT BUYER BEWARE.
WHATEVER'S THERE, SHE'S BUYING.
ASKING THAT. I UNDERSTAND, YOUR HONOR.
I DO THE SAME THING. IT'S JUST THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH.
I PUT AN ORDER IN THERE. I KNOW.
THAT SHOULD BE FINE, YOUR HONOR.
I'LL DIRECT THE TITLE COMPANY.
THEY'RE HOLDING ESCROW, SO I'M THE REASON I'M LETTING YOU KNOW THIS.
NOW, JUST BEFORE THE ORDER WILL BE FORWARDED TO MY EMAIL ADDRESS, I GUESS.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CV 2034320 AT 554 DEAN COURT NORTHWEST.
I'M HERE FOR THE FIVE, FIVE FOUR COURT, NORTHWEST PALM BAY, FLORIDA.
FIRST, I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY.
OLD STUFF THAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE I WASN'T EVEN AWARE THAT THE HOUSE WAS UNDER MY NAME.
AND HE PUT THOSE SHIPPING CONTAINERS THERE AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT.
BUT WHEN I DID BECOME AWARE OF IT DURING MY DIVORCE, WHEN THE ATTORNEYS TOLD ME I TRIED TO COME UP HERE AND TAKE CARE OF THE SITUATION AS BEST AS I COULD, I WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO WHERE THE WINN-DIXIE PLAZA WAS, AND THE PEOPLE THERE TOLD ME THAT IF I GOT A SURVEY, IF I PAINTED IT TO MATCH
[00:25:04]
THE HOUSE AND I GOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE SHIPPING CONTAINERS TO SEND ALL THE DOCUMENTATIONS THAT THEN I CAN GET A PERMIT FOR THEM TO BE THERE.AND I DID ALL OF THAT, AND I SENT ALL THE INFORMATION THROUGH EMAIL.
AND THEN I GOT AN EMAIL BACK SAYING THAT THEY DIDN'T GET IT.
WHO'S THEY? THE PEOPLE ACROSS THE STREET AT THE WINN-DIXIE PLAZA, THE PALM BAY BUILDING.
THANK YOU. UM, THAT WAS, THAT WAS IN 2021.
ONCE I SENT THEM ALL THE EMAILS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING BACK, SO I FIGURED I WAS OKAY AND I FIGURED I WAS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO ANSWER ME BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I, I HONESTLY, I HAD I HAD NO IDEA.
ALSO AT THIS POINT. CITY'S POSITION.
DELEGATE NIKO COMPLIANCE OFFICER SAID HE HAS NO OBJECTION TO REDUCTION OF THIS LIEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ADMINISTRATIVE FEES OF 750 IS COLLECTED PLUS 11%, WHICH WOULD BE A TOTAL OF $5,571.79.
ALL THE INFORMATION WAS GOING TO MY EX-HUSBAND'S ADDRESS AND HE KNEW AND NEVER SAID ANYTHING OR DID ANYTHING BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DIVORCE. SO THAT'S YET ANOTHER REASON WHY I NEVER GOT ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
BUT SHE TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT I HAD TO DO NOW.
BUT I'M LEARNING ALL THIS PROCESS NOW.
EX HUSBAND. THAT WAS THE SHOP THAT HE WORKED AT.
AND EVERYTHING WOULD GO THEIR.
UH. I FOUND OUT ALL THE SECRETS STARTED COMING OUT A WEEK BEFORE HE WAS BORN.
I DIDN'T GO FOR THE DIVORCE TO AN ATTORNEY UNTIL 2014.
SO THEN WE STARTED WITH THE PROCEDURES AND.
ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS WHEN DID THE DIVORCE GET STARTED? 2014. ENDED IN 21.
THE AMOUNT THAT I HAVE ON THIS PAPER RIGHT NOW.
NO, NO, NO, NO. I'M ASKING YOU.
THE CITY. CITY JUST TESTIFIED.
OH, WHAT? SHE SAID. YES, I'M FINE.
[00:30:05]
YES, YES, YES.A LOT BETTER THAN WHAT IT WAS.
THAT WITH OR WITHOUT THE SEVEN.

DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM PAYING IT. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM IN ORDER TO THAT EFFECT.

NORMALLY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY DOING THE WORK AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE NORMALLY TESTIFYING.
SO, I MEAN, YOUR RECITATION OF WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND TO BE THE FACTS ISN'T REALLY EVIDENCE.
SO I'LL LET THE CITY TESTIFY AND HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY AND WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU.
ANGELICA SNEED, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER, CITY OF PALM BAY, THE CITY.
THE CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR 13%.
SO THE TOTAL COLLECTED WOULD BE $2,383.35.
NO. MR. BROWN, DID YOU HEAR THE CITY'S TESTIMONY? BUT YOU HAVE THE APPLICANT HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THAT NUMBER.

I DON'T KNOW THAT I NEED TO HEAR FROM HER FOR THAT PART OF IT.
I MEAN, YOU'VE YOU'VE TESTIFIED TO THAT.

WELL, BASED ON THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S VALUATION OF 19,000.
