AND MR. THOMAS HAS SENT AN EMAIL ON JUNE 30TH ASKING TO BE RESCHEDULED AGAIN.OKAY. OUR NEXT CASE TODAY IS CB 23404-22 AT 896 ROGER AVENUE NORTHWEST.
GOOD AFTERNOON AND I'M FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK MY MIND ON THIS SITUATION.
HE'S THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
AND WHAT'S YOUR NAME? FRANK CAMPANA.
OKAY. AND THIS IS NICHOLAS CAMPANA.
I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT HERE FOR 35 YEARS.
I'VE RAISED NINE CHILDREN HERE.
BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS COMMUNITY WITH THE SPORTS PROGRAMS AND COACHING AND SO FORTH.
AND AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD ANY SITUATION LIKE THIS.
HE HAD A ROOMMATE THAT HAD A BOAT.
HE GOT CAUGHT. ONE NOTICED THE ROOMMATE ON TO MOVE THE BOAT BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY.
WE HAD NO IDEA THAT WE WERE IN VIOLATION.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT ON THE CORNER LOT THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A FENCE COVERING UP.
INSTEAD. WE JUST THOUGHT THAT, LIKE I SAID, IT WAS BEHIND THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND THAT WE WERE COMPLIANT AND I'M ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS ON THIS LOAN. I MEAN THE MONEY THAT WE BOUGHT THIS HOUSE WAS, WAS MONEY THAT WAS GIVEN TO US BY MY MOTHER WHEN SHE DIED.
AND I JUST WANT TO BE I WANT TO HONOR HER IN THE FACT THAT WE, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, THIS THIS IS A BIG ECONOMIC SETBACK FOR ME AS KNOWING I THINK IT'S LIKE A $50,000, YOU KNOW, $50 A DAY.
AND WE WANT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE.
CAN I ASSUME THE BOAT'S BEEN DEALT? YES, SIR. OH. IT'S GONE OKAY.
IT'S NOT EVEN ON THE PROPERTY NO MORE.
OKAY. AND WHAT IS IT YOU'RE ASKING FOR ME TO DO? I'M JUST ASKING FOR A COMPLETE FORGIVENESS.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM OUR TAXPAYERS THAT THAT WORK HARD.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN SUCH AN ECONOMIC BIND.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYBODY COULD GET THROUGH THIS.
SABRINA PERKINS SENIOR OFFICER FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT.
THE CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR 13% OF THE TOTAL LIEN TO BE PAID.
[00:05:06]
THE TOTAL LIEN WAS $24,396.44.THAT WOULD BE FOR THE PERCENTAGE IS $3,171.54, WITH THE ADDITIONAL 750.
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, FOR A TOTAL OF $3,921.54.
DO I GET TO RESPOND TO THAT? YES. AS I INDICATED, THE APPLICANT HAD THE RIGHT TO RESPOND TO THE CITY'S TESTIMONY.
LET ME EXPRESS A FEW THINGS ABOUT THIS CITY.
NUMBER ONE, YOU COULD ASK MY NAME.
GO UP TO THE THE CHIEF OF POLICE HERE.
I WAS PULLED OVER IN THIS CITY.
OKAY? AND IT WAS A FALSE IDENTIFICATION.
MY CHILDREN HAD TO GO THROUGH ABUSE.
I RELEASED THEM FROM A SERIOUS FINE.
IT WAS. COULD HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIAL.
THERE WAS A VIDEO TAPE OF THEM BEATING ME.
THE LEAST THIS COURT CAN DO HERE IS TO FORGIVE ME.
AND IT WAS MUCH MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN HAVING A BOAT ON THE SIDE OF A PROPERTY.
$3,000 FOR A GUY THAT'S RAISING NINE CHILDREN AND 17 GRANDCHILDREN.
I MEAN, THAT'S RIDICULOUS THAT IT COST SOMEBODY TO GO OUT THERE.
WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST PUT A STICKER, A PURPLE STICKER ON THERE AND SAY, YOU ARE IN VIOLATION? I HAD NO IDEA I WAS IN VIOLATION.
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE A VIOLATION.
WHY WOULD WE SHOOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT? NO ONE WOULD DO THAT.
WELL, PLEASE, I'M ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS.
THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR, I UNDERSTAND.
I'M. I'M BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, SIR.
PLEASE. MY QUESTION IS, WHEN THE CITY SENDS OUT A NOTICE OF VIOLATION, THEY ALSO SEND A NOTICE OF A HEARING THAT'S IN FRONT OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT, WHETHER IT WAS A HEARING OFFICER OR THE BOARD.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ATTEND THE HEARING? I NEVER HAD RECEIVED THAT.
EVER. DID YOU EVER RECEIVE THAT ANYTHING, SON? DO YOU HAVE ANY? DO YOU HAVE.
WE REMOVED THE BOAT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND PUT IT ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
I'M NOT FUSSING WITH YOU ABOUT THAT.
THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION I ASKED YOU, SIR.
WHEN YOU MOVE THE BOAT, DID YOU INQUIRE OF CODE ENFORCEMENT AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT HAD BEEN MOVED IN THE RIGHT PLACE? WE WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT ALL OUR NEIGHBORS HAD THEIR BOATS ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, AND WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE IN COMPLIANCE TO IT.
I UNDERSTAND, BUT SO THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS NO.
I'M GOING TO ENTER AN ORDER REDUCING THE FINE TO $1,000.
THANK YOU. THE THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF 750.
I'M GOING TO ADD ON ANOTHER $250.
JUST FOR HOW LONG IT WAS OUT OF COMPLIANCE.
AND NORMALLY THE ORDER PROVIDES FOR PAYMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS.
ARE YOU ABLE TO DO THAT? YES. OKAY.
OKAY. THEN AN ORDER WILL BE ENTERED TO THAT EFFECT.
THANK YOU. OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS KB 179781719365-18 AND 19754-192551 CHATHAM WAY NORTHEAST.
[00:10:02]
GOOD AFTERNOON SIR.HOW DO YOU SPELL YOUR LAST NAME? CLEAN. LIKE CALVIN, BUT LESS MONEY.
YEAH. AND WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE APPLICANT? WHICH IS SUNCOAST RENOVATION? OH, I'M THE OWNER. OKAY.
A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR AGO, I GUESS WE GO BACK TO THE RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING.
I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY THROUGH A TAX DEED AUCTION.
MY UNDERSTANDING, IT WAS VERY FIRST ONE I DID, AND IT WAS VERY.
FIRST ONE I DID WAS HERE IN PALM BAY.
MY UNDERSTANDING WAS ALL DEBT WAS WIPED OUT.
ALL DEBT WAS WIPED OUT ONCE YOU BUY IT.
WELL, COME TO MY SURPRISE, IT'S NOT.
SO THROUGH WORKING WITH CAROL, WORKING WITH EVERYBODY IN THE TOWN HERE FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE THE SURPLUS FROM THE COUNTY.
IT KIND OF FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS FOR A FEW MINUTES THERE, I GUESS.
AND THEN IT FINALLY GOT SENT OVER.
6000 WENT TO PAY OFF UTILITIES.
ALL THE ALL THE CODE VIOLATIONS WERE OBVIOUSLY BEFORE I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.
WHAT I HAVE FROM THE NOTES THAT I HAVE IS THAT I GUESS AT ONE POINT IT WAS $125 LAWN MOWING FEE AND THEN TWO AT THAT TIME, CAYCE 19, 365. ON THE NEXT ONE, THAT WAS 17 NINE SEVEN, EIGHT.
IT'S $436 OF A LAWN MOWING FEE AND 19 754 $437 LAWN MOWING FEE.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THE FIRST ONE WITH FINES TOTALS $34,000, THE SECOND ONE IS 57 AND THE THIRD WAS 11,600, WHICH GIVES ME A TOTAL OF JUST OVER $52,408, WHICH $998 OF IT IS ACTUAL WORK DONE ON THE PROPERTY AND THEN THE REST OF IT'S INCURRED FINES.
THAT'D BE REALLY NICE, BUT WE'LL SEE WHERE IT GOES FROM THERE.
CITY IS ALSO SEEKING A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL LIEN TO BE PAID.
DO YOU WANT THESE BROKEN DOWN INTO EACH? THERE'S THREE CASES. YEAH, PROBABLY BE OKAY UNLESS THE PERCENTAGES ARE THE SAME.
OKAY. THEN I NEED A BREAKDOWN.
THE CITY WAS $400 WITH THE ADMIN FEE OF 750, FOR A TOTAL OF $1,150.
THAT ONE. THEY'RE NOT SEEKING A REDUCTION BECAUSE OF THE LOW AMOUNT.
THE OTHER ONE IS CAYCE 1936518.
THEN THE FINES WAS $36,605.79.
REDUCING IT BY 12% FOR A TOTAL OF $4,392.69 PLUS THE 150 ADMIN FEE.
THE LEAN AMOUNT IS $12,757.38, REDUCED BY 14%.
$1,786.03, PLUS THE COST OF $524, FOR A TOTAL OF $2,310.03. SO THE CITY IN TOTAL IS ASKING FOR $8,002.72 FOR ALL THREE CASES.
[00:15:08]
SO THERE'S ROUGHLY 17% OF THE ENTIRE COST OF THE FINE.WOULD THE COURT SEE FIT IF I WAS TO PAY 10% OF THAT, WHICH WOULD BE A REDUCTION OF ABOUT 2000 SOMETHING MORE WHICH IT WOULD END UP BEING 52, 40, I THINK.
OR LOWER. SO IN THE 8000 FIGURE THAT YOU PROVIDED IS THAT THAT INCLUDES THE $750.
WHAT'S THE 750? WELL, ON ON TWO OF THE CASES, THE 750 ADMIN COSTS WERE WERE DROPPED.
YEAH. THE ACTUAL CITY COST IS 150 ON ONE CASE AND 524 ON THE OTHER.
AND THEN 400 IS THE TOTAL COST.
HOW SOON AFTER YOU BOUGHT THE PROPERTY DID YOU RESOLVE THE CODE? THERE WAS NO CODE WHEN I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.
THERE WAS A MOBILE HOME ALREADY ON THE ON THE PROPERTY.
AND THAT GOT BURNT DOWN, I GUESS SOMEWHERE 2000.
AND THE CITY HAD TO COME IN AND CLEAN THAT UP.
AND THEN IT WAS MOWING MOWING MOWING, MOWING.
SO AS SOON AS I BOUGHT THE PROPERTY I STARTED DEVELOPING IT.
OH, AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IS THAT IT WAS A BLANK PIECE OF PROPERTY.
I'VE NOW INVESTED INCLUDING THE, THE PROPERTY VALUE ITSELF, WHICH IS ABOUT $21,000.
IT'S $150,000 I'VE PUT INTO THAT PROPERTY.
THERE'S ALREADY A HOME ON IT NOW WHICH WILL ACTUALLY OBVIOUSLY INCREASE TAX REVENUE IN THE CITY.
AND THE I'M GETTING BEYOND MYSELF.
BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO SEEING WHAT THE PROJECT WE WERE DOING WENT WITH THE SAME COMPANY THAT I USE, AND THEY'RE PUTTING ANOTHER HOME IN THAT DEVELOPMENT.
SO IT'S JUST MAKING IT BETTER.
BUT YEAH, ALL THE CODES WERE DONE WHEN I BOUGHT IT TO MAKE THAT A SHORT STORY LONG.
ALL RIGHT, MOM, BASED ON ALL THE ITEMS I'M SUPPOSED TO CONSIDER, INCLUDING WHAT THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE PROPERTY IS OR WHAT THE PROPERTY VALUE WAS PRIOR TO THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE PUT ON THE PROPERTY AND THE TESTIMONY.
I'M GOING TO REDUCE IT TO THE 5240.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS 30 DAYS SUFFICIENT TIME WHEREVER YOU GUYS WANT TO PLAY RIGHT NOW? WELL, CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. BEADLE. YES, SIR. MR. BEADLE, JUST TO CONFIRM, $5,240 EVEN.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CEB 23016-22 AT 2351 SHENANDOAH ROAD NORTHEAST.
YES. AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS JARED COOPER.
I LIVE AT 3836 HILL ROAD, PALM BAY, FLORIDA.
32907. I'M THE OWNER OF 2135 SHENANDOAH ROAD.
I'VE LIVED IN THIS CITY SINCE 2005.
THE SITUATION THAT OCCURRED IS.
EVIDENTLY THERE WERE SOME TREES THAT WERE OVERGROWING THE ROAD BACK IN 2022.
[00:20:02]
THE CITY SENT OUT A NOTICE AND ALSO YOUR HEARINGS ABOUT THIS BACK THEN.THE PROBLEM WAS THE CITY SENT THESE NOTICES TO 2081 REDWOOD CIRCLE, A PROPERTY I HADN'T OWNED OR LIVED IN SINCE 2018.
SO I HAD NO IDEA THAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION OR ANY OF THESE ISSUES, AND THAT THERE WAS THIS $50 A DAY ACCRUAL OCCURRING ON THIS PROPERTY.
PLUS WHATEVER INTERESTS THAT THE CITY WAS PUTTING ON RECENTLY, I WAS LOOKING AT REFINANCING SOME OTHER PROPERTIES. AND BY SHEER LUCK THIS CAME UP AND YOU KNOW, THE DISCOVERY OF THE TITLE SEARCHES AND ONCE I WAS AWARE OF THIS, I HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED WITHIN FIVE DAYS.
I THEN PROMPTLY REACHED OUT TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, AND THEN WAITED ALMOST TWO MONTHS TO GET TO THIS POINT IN TIME TO GET THIS RESOLVED.
JUST GOING BY WHAT'S ALREADY HAPPENED, I GET IT.
THE CITY WANTS THEIR 750 ADMINISTRATION FEE.
BUT I'M ASKING THAT ALL OF THIS OTHER FEES ATTACHED TO IT SHOULD BE REMOVED.
OKAY. AND WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? SABRINA PERKINS, SENIOR CODE OFFICER, CITY OF PALM BAY CITY, HAS NO OBJECTION IN A REDUCTION IN THE LIEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ARE COLLECTED, WHICH IS $750.
CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR A PERCENTAGE OF 12% ON THE TOTAL LEAN TO BE PAID.
THAT WOULD BE $3,833.90, PLUS THE 750 ADMIN FEE, FOR A TOTAL OF $4,583.99.
DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER? DO YOU WANT TO ADD? I MEAN, MY POSITION REALLY ISN'T CHANGING ON THIS.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS HAD OCCURRED BECAUSE THE MAILINGS WERE SENT TO A PROPERTY I HADN'T OCCUPIED OR OWNED SINCE 2018. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT, I CORRECTED IT IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE I CAN SAY HERE.
AND YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT THIS HAS COME UP WITH.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS OR NOT.
THE CODE ENFORCEMENT, WHETHER IT'S THE CITY OR ANY OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT, THEY OBTAIN THE OWNER'S INFORMATION OFF THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S OFFICE OR THE TAX COLLECTOR'S OFFICE.
THAT'S WHAT THE STATUTE PROVIDES FOR.
AND THEY SEND ALL THE NOTICES TO THOSE ADDRESSES.
AND I'M SENT A PRINTOUT IN, IN HERE THAT THEY JUST SENT ME.
AND THE REDWOOD CIRCLE ADDRESS IS STILL LISTED AS THE MAILING ADDRESS FOR THIS PROPERTY.
SO SO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE ADDRESS WITH YOU.
WELL I'M NOT I CAN'T GET INTO THAT.
THERE THEY THERE IS MORE THAN ONE OPTION.
AGREED. THERE'S A PROVISION IN THERE.
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE NOTICES? I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A CERTAIN OBLIGATION ON A PROPERTY OWNER TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THEIR PROPER MAILING ADDRESS.
THAT'S ALL I'M SUGGESTING TO YOU.
I DON'T DISAGREE WITH YOUR ASSERTION.
SO IF YOU IF YOU ARE ALREADY USING A SYSTEM THAT MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT, WHICH OTHER CITIES IN THIS COUNTY PURPOSELY DO NOT USE? BREVARD COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER FOR THESE INSTANCES, SPECIFICALLY BOTH MELBOURNE AND WEST MELBOURNE?
[00:25:01]
I GET YOUR POSITION, BUT THE FACT IS.WELL, IF I COULD AFFIX, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN IN VIOLATION IF I KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE.
AS SOON AS I KNEW THERE WAS AN ISSUE, I FIXED THE SITUATION.
OTHERWISE THAT WOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE WOULD NEVER HAVE COME UP.
THAT'S ALL I'M SUGGESTING TO YOU.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING I AM WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS TO FIX.
I'VE FOUND MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THEIR SYSTEM.
I'M ON MY NAME. I'M NOT HERE TO ARGUE WITH YOU.
I'M MERELY SUGGESTING THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
THIS IS NOT A THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO ARGUE WITH ME.
I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW.
I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK INTO.
I AGREE, AND IT'S SOMETHING I AM WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ON AS WE SPEAK.
OKAY. WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO REDUCE THE FINE.
I'M GOING TO REDUCE IT TO I'M GOING TO GIVE THE CITY THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS TO 750.
I'M GOING TO REDUCE THE FINE TO $1,250.
AND AS I INDICATED TO THE PRIOR PEOPLE CAN IS THAT A PROBLEM WITH YOU PAYING THAT WITHIN 30 DAYS? I CAN PAY IT RIGHT NOW IF REQUIRED.
AND THEN THERE'LL BE AN ORDER ENTERED TO THAT EFFECT.
ALL RIGHT, SO I CALL YOU GUYS TOMORROW.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS KB 2324722 AT 514 JUSTINE AVENUE NORTHWEST.
I'M ON. EXCUSE ME. I REPRESENT 514 JUSTINE LAND TRUST.
MY OFFICE IS LOCATED ON 1679 GARDEN AVENUE, MELBOURNE, FLORIDA.
32934. YOUR HONOR, MY CLIENT ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY.
HE THEN EVENTUALLY WE RENOVATED IT AND LEASED THE PROPERTY.
TRIED TO WORK WITH THEM IN ORDER TO GET THOSE RESOLVED.
THE TENANTS WERE REFUSED TO DO SO BASICALLY, AND KEPT THE PILING ISSUES ON THAT.
SO HE THEN TRIED TO EVICT THEM.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE EVICTION PROCESS TOOK SOME TIME.
AS OF APRIL THIS YEAR, THEY WERE FINALLY EVICTED.
MY CLIENT REACHED OUT TO CODE ENFORCEMENT, STARTED WORKING ON THE PROCESS.
AND THEN IT WAS CLEARED AGAIN LAST WEEK, EXCEPT FOR THIS HEARING.
I BELIEVE THERE'S APPROXIMATELY THREE, $31,000 IN FINES.
WE WOULD ASK FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE.
[00:30:03]
SO.THANK YOU. WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? SPRING PARK AND SENIOR CODE OFFICERS, CITY OF PALM BAY.
THE REDUCTION WOULD BE $3,737.48, PLUS THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES, 750, FOR A TOTAL OF $4,487.48.
YOUR HONOR, WE WOULD JUST REQUEST MAYBE IF THE.
I'M SORRY. WE WOULD JUST REQUEST THE MATCH.
WE CAN SEE REDUCING JUST THE $4,000 EVEN.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO ENTER AN ORDER REDUCING IT TO $4,000.
AND IT'S 30 DAYS SUFFICIENT TIME.
THAT'LL BE AN ORDER UNDER TO THAT EFFECT.
HAVE A GOOD DAY. OUR NEXT CASE, ITEM NUMBER SIX, IS A PHONE CONFERENCE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO PUSH THAT TO THE END.
SO OUR NEXT CASE WILL BE HEARD WITH CB 2348623 AT 790 ARAGON AVENUE NORTHEAST.
MY NAME IS HOLLY. SPEAK CLOSER TO THE MIC.
EXCUSE ME, MY NAME IS HOLLY ALSTOTT.
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MY CLIENT, CAROL RICHARDSON.
I'M SORRY. COULD YOU SAY YOUR LAST NAME AGAIN? I'LL START. ALS T O T T OKAY.
GO AHEAD. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CODE VIOLATION WAS OVERGROWN YARD.
MR. CLEMENS HE WAS A RETIRED MILITARY VET WHO SERVED HIS COUNTRY AS A CAREER AIR FORCE VETERAN.
AND HE LIKE A LOT OF MANY LIKE MANY, MANY, MANY VETERANS HAD MENTAL ILLNESS.
HE I DON'T THINK HE WAS CAPABLE OF HANDLING THE CODE VIOLATION.
IN DECEMBER OF 2023, AND HIS SISTER, MISS RICHARDSON, HAS BEEN TRYING TO PUT HIS LIFE BACK TOGETHER AND PIECE THINGS TOGETHER BECAUSE HE LIKED HIS ISOLATION.
AND SO SHE DID FIND IN HIS PAPERWORK A COPY OF THE CODE VIOLATION, AND SHE HAD ALREADY BROUGHT THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.
SO WE'RE ASKING THAT THE FINES BE REDUCED POSSIBLY TO JUST THE ADMIN FEES.
OKAY. OBVIOUSLY, SINCE MISS RICHARDSON'S NOT HERE, BUT YOU SAID SHE BROUGHT THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.
[00:35:01]
AS SOON AS SHE GOT HER LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION.SO SHE GOT HER LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.
AND THE CITY'S POSITION, PLEASE.
SABRINA PARK AND SENIOR CODE OFFICER, CITY OF POMPEII.
CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR A PERCENTAGE OF 14% OF THE TOTAL LIEN TO BE PAID.
THE REDUCTION WOULD BE $1,656.36, WITH THE ADMIN COST OF 750, FOR A TOTAL OF $2,406.36. WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE? I HAVE DIFFERENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF THE LIEN.
I'M SORRY, I HAD DIFFERENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE AMOUNT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ALL LOOKING AT THE SAME THING.
THE THE LIEN AMOUNTS THAT WE TALK ABOUT TODAY IS WHATEVER THE INTEREST IS THROUGH TODAY.
I WAS JUST TOLD, I THINK, VIA EMAIL THAT THE THE LIEN WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER.
WAS WHAT SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER? THAN 11,000.
YEAH. WAIT A MINUTE. NO, YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S 24,485 88.
OH, I'M SORRY, I'M IN THE WRONG.
THE WRONG ONE. THIS ONE IS FOR 790 ARAGON AVENUE.
ALL RIGHT. SO THE AMOUNT ON THAT ONE IS THE LIEN WAS $24,485.88.
13% REDUCTION FOR THAT WOULD MAKE IT $3,183.16, PLUS THE ADMIN COST OF 750, FOR A TOTAL OF $3,933.16. WELL, I APPRECIATE THE REDUCTION.
WE'RE ASKING JUST TO COVER ADMIN FEES AND ANY COSTS.
THIS MONEY IS GOING TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN MISS RICHARDSON'S GOLDEN YEARS.
IT'S GOING TO CHANGE HER RETIREMENT FROM STRUGGLING TO GET BY TO ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO ENJOY IT.
I MEAN, I'M CONFLICTED ON CERTAIN LEVEL BECAUSE MISS RICHARDSON IS NOT HERE.
SO EVERYTHING YOU'RE BASICALLY TELLING ME IS HEARSAY.
SHE'S OUT OF STATE, I UNDERSTAND THAT, OKAY.
I MEAN, WE HAVE PHONE CALL, TWO THINGS.
SO I MEAN, BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME, SHE, SHE WROTE, COMPLIED RELATIVELY QUICKLY, ALTHOUGH THE CITY DIDN'T CLEAR IT FOR THREE MONTHS AFTER.
APPARENTLY SHE DID THE WORK FOR IT.
I HAVE A COPY OF MR. CLEMENS DEATH CERTIFICATE WITH CAUSE LISTED.
I DON'T REALLY NEED THAT. I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, THE FACT THAT HE'S HE'S PASSED AWAY.
I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
ALL RIGHT. AND THERE'S A LOT OF MITIGATING FACTORS IN HERE.
[00:40:04]
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROPERTY WAS IN THE CONDITION THAT WAS IN FOR OVER A YEAR.DID THE CITY INCUR ANY EXPENSES TO TRY AND REMEDY ANY OF THIS? NO, THEY DID NOT CUT IT.
WELL. I'M GOING TO REDUCE THE LEAN TO $2,250.
AND IS 30 DAYS SUFFICIENT TIME? IT IS OKAY.
THERE'LL BE AN ORDER FORWARDED TO YOU.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CV 20088-19 AT 1041 BRADDOCK AVENUE SOUTHEAST.
I'M AT 1041 BRADDOCK AT 1041 BRADDOCK AVENUE SOUTHEAST.
I'M TRYING TO GET THE LEAN THAT I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO SELL THE HOUSE.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS A LIEN TRYING TO GET THAT REDUCED OR SOMETHING.
YEAH. SO WHAT'S THE BASIS FOR YOUR REQUEST? TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE, BUT I CAN'T SELL IT BECAUSE THE LIEN IS.
WOULD BE MORE THAN WHAT I'M GETTING IT SOLD FOR.
WHICH MEANS I'M I, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THAT POINT BECAUSE.
SO YOU'RE SELLING THE HOUSE FOR $23,000? NO, IT'S.
BUT THERE'S OTHER LIENS ON IT TOO.
IT WAS LIKE BY LIKE 7000 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO IT'D BE ACTUALLY HAD TO TAKE A LOAN OUT TO SELL THE HOUSE.
SO WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY? APPARENTLY IT WAS SOMETHING WITH SOME OVERGROWN STUFF.
ACCORDING TO THE ACCORDING TO THE ORDER ENTERED BY THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD, IT WAS TALL GRASS AND WEEDS AND ACCUMULATION OF TRASH AND DEBRIS.
OKAY. AND ALSO THE STORAGE OF A JUNK OR DISCARDED VEHICLE.
OKAY, WELL, THAT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, I'M SURE.
WELL, I KNOW THAT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.
MY QUESTION IS, IS WHAT WAS THE REASON WHY IT WAS IN THAT CONDITION FOR TWO YEARS? I HAVE I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS IN THAT CONDITION FOR TWO YEARS.
OKAY. DID YOU LIVE AT BRADDOCK? YEAH. YEAH, I LIVED THERE.
I WAS IN THE NOTICE WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT THERE.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS.
YEAH, WELL, I NEVER NONE OF THEM.
ACCORDING TO THE RECORDS, JENNIFER BARKER IS A CO-OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
YEAH. AND WHO'S THAT? THAT'S MY EX-WIFE.
OKAY. WHEN DID YOU GET DIVORCED? AND AUGUST OF LAST YEAR.
OKAY. WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? IT'S BEEN WORKING. SENIOR OFFICER, CODE ENFORCEMENT, CITY OF PALM BAY.
CITY HAS NO OBJECTION TO THE REDUCTION OF THE LIEN.
WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ARE COLLECTED, WHICH IS $750.
CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR 13% OF THE TOTAL LIEN TO BE PAID.
TOTAL LIEN WAS $23,363, AND $0.04 REDUCTION WOULD BE $3,037.19, WITH THE ADMIN COST 750, FOR A TOTAL OF $3,787.19.
YOUR RESPONSE? I COULDN'T ACCEPT THAT.
[00:45:03]
OKAY. YEAH.ALL RIGHT. THERE'LL BE AN ORDER ENTERED TO THAT EFFECT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YES, SIR.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CB 22400-21 AT 1350 CHERRY ROAD, SOUTHWEST.

SORRY. A REQUEST FOR A CONSIDERATION.
AND WHAT'S YOUR. WHAT'S YOUR NAME? KIM. LEWIS.
IT LOOKS FOR THE EMAIL I RECEIVED THERE ASKING IF IT COULD BE CONSIDERED TO BE REDUCED TO 9111.57.
THEY'RE ASKING IT TO BE REDUCED TO THAT OR THAT'S.
WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? SPRING PARK AND SENIOR OFFICER, CODE ENFORCEMENT, CITY OF PALM BAY.
THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION IN THE REDUCTION OF THE LIEN TO THAT AMOUNT.
YES. OKAY, THEN I'LL ENTER AN ORDER TO THAT EFFECT.
MORE THAN ENOUGH. YES, SIR. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. THERE WILL BE AN ORDER ENTERED TO THAT EFFECT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, MA'AM.
OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CB 19157188501 EMPIRE AVENUE NORTHEAST.
HELLO, MY NAME IS DONOVAN CAMURATI.
I AM COMING HERE BECAUSE I RECENTLY PURCHASED 501 EMPIRE AVENUE.
AND WHEN I PURCHASED THE PROPERTY THERE WAS JUNK AND SCRAP AND DEBRIS IN THE FRONT AND SIDE AND BACK YARD.
SO MUCH TO WHERE YOU COULD BARELY SEE THE GRASS.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN PICTURES OF THE PROPERTY, BUT IT WAS PRETTY BAD.
I ONCE I PURCHASED THE PROPERTY I HAD IT CLEANED UP WITHIN 48 HOURS.
AND THE JUNK VEHICLE WAS TAKEN OUT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT.
BUT LIKE I SAID, I HAD IT CLEANED UP WITHIN 48 HOURS OF PURCHASING IT AND I WOULD REQUEST FOR A FULL FORGIVENESS.
I THINK THE PROPERTY WAS ACCRUING FINES FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS SINCE 2018.
BEFORE THAT, AND OBVIOUSLY NOTHING WAS WAS GETTING DONE WITH IT.
BUT LIKE I SAID, ONCE I BOUGHT IT, IT WAS CLEANED UP RIGHT AWAY.
OKAY. AND WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? SABRINA PARKINS, SENIOR OFFICER, CITY OF PALM BAY.
CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR 4% OF THE TOTAL LANE TO BE PAID.
TOTAL LANE WAS $159,359.41 FOR REDUCTION OF $6,374.38, WITH THE ADMIN FEE OF 750, FOR A TOTAL OF $7,124.38.
AND YOUR RESPONSE? YOU SAID IT WAS JUST OVER $7,000.
CORRECT. OKAY. REALISTICALLY, I COULD NOT PAY $7,000 AT THE MOMENT.
I DO HAVE ABOUT $3,000 THAT I COULD PUT TOWARDS THIS.
IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE DOABLE? ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, LIKE I SAID, MY ONLY DOING WITH THIS PROPERTY WAS MAKING IT NICER.
FOR THESE LINES DISCLOSED WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE PROPERTY? THEY WERE.
[00:50:49]
I'M GETTING AN ORDER, REDUCING THE LEAN AMOUNT TO $4,750.A NORMALLY I GIVE 30 DAYS TO PAY IT.
CAN YOU PAY IT IN 30 DAYS? 30. YEAH, I COULD MAKE IT HAPPEN.
YES, SIR. NEXT CASE WE HEARD IS CB 20367-20 AT 2180 JULIEN AVENUE NORTHEAST.
CLIFF RIPPERGER. MY BUSINESS ADDRESS IS 2101 WAVERLY PLACE.
ATTORNEY WITH THE LAW FIRM OF WHITE BIRD.
WE REPRESENT THE RESPONDENT, PUZZLE BOX ACADEMY PROPERTY HOLDING, LLC.
THIS WAS A 2020 CASE FOR NO PERMIT FOR AN HVAC UNIT.
THE PROPERTY ADDRESS AT WHICH THE AC UNIT WAS INSTALLED IS 20 180 JULIEN AVENUE NORTHEAST.
THE ADDRESS THAT SERVED AS THE PRIMARY MAILING ADDRESS FOR THE LLC WAS 1855 WEST HIBISCUS BOULEVARD IN 2020. EARLY IN 2020, THAT PROPERTY WAS SOLD BY THE RESPONDENT TO ANOTHER OWNER.
PRIOR TO THE NOTICES GOING OUT, IF YOU LOOK IN THE IF YOU LOOK IN THE CASE FILE, YOU'LL SEE THAT I THINK ALL OF THE MAILED OUT NOTICES OF THE VIOLATION ITSELF WERE MARKED AS RETURN TO SENDER.
NONE OF THEM WERE ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE RESPONDENT.
THERE IS AN AFFIDAVIT OF POSTING OF THE PROPERTY.
WE'RE NOT DISPUTING THAT AFFIDAVIT OR THAT THE PROPERTY WAS POSTED.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE RESPONDENTS DID NOT SEE THE POSTING.
IF YOU CAN BRING YOURSELF BACK TO 2020.
AND IT'S NOT EASY TO DO NOW, BUT YOU'LL RECALL THAT THIS IS IN APPROXIMATELY I BELIEVE, JUNE TIME FRAME OF 2020 OR SLIGHTLY THERE AROUND WHEN COVID WAS IN FULL SWING AND THE WE WERE UNDER A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LETTER FROM OUR CONTRACTOR WHO WAS A LICENSED CONTRACTOR, A COASTAL CLIMATE EXPERTS.
JOSEPH DITTMAR IS THE PRESIDENT.
THERE WAS NO INCREASED OR HEIGHTENED THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE.
IT WAS A LICENSED CONTRACTOR INSTALLING IT.
AND WE WERE UNAWARE OF THE VIOLATION UNTIL EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE PROPERTY WAS WENT THROUGH A REFINANCE AND THE LIENS WERE DISCOVERED. SO WE DISCOVERED THE CAYCE AT THAT TIME.
SO WE DID NOT RECEIVE THE NOTICES.
WE CAME IN LICENSED, SAME LICENSED CONTRACTOR CAME IN, PULLED THE PERMIT IMMEDIATELY.
AND THERE HAS BEEN AN AFFIDAVIT OF COMPLIANCE.
WE ARE ASKING FOR A FULL REDUCTION OF THE FINE.

WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES THAT WILL APPLY.THANK YOU. AND WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? SABRINA PARK AND SENIOR CODE OFFICER, CITY OF PALM BAY CITY HAS NO OBJECTION IN THE REDUCTION OF THE LIEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ARE COLLECTED OF $750.
CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR A PERCENTAGE OF 8% OF THE TOTAL LIEN TO BE PAID TO THE LIEN WAS 770 $71,172.99, A 8% REDUCTION FOR $5,693.84, PLUS THE ADMIN COST OF 750, FOR A TOTAL OF $6,443.84.
IS THAT $6,443.84? IS THAT CORRECT? $6,443.84? YES, SIR. MY ONLY RESPONSE TO THAT WOULD BE THE FULL VALUE OF THE HVAC UNIT INSTALLED ITSELF WAS $6,500, SO WE'D LOVE TO SEE AN ADDITIONAL REDUCTION ON TOP OF THE PERCENTAGE THAT THE CITY'S RECOMMENDED.
BUT WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THE RECOMMENDATIONS, SO WE'LL DEFER TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATES.

THE COST OF THE AC, I CAN CONFIRM, WAS $6,500.
ANY TYPE OF REDUCTION ADDITIONAL REDUCTION WOULD WOULD REALLY HELP.
YES. YOUR ORGANIZATION OF 500 AND 1C3 ORGANIZATION OR JUST A NOT FOR PROFIT OR IS IT FOR PROFIT.

AND THEN. WELL, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT BEFORE YOU APPLY.
LIKE I SAID, I DO HUNDREDS OF THESE.
THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION.
OKAY, WELL, LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMEBODY APPEAR THAT HAS KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THIS CASE IS ABOUT SO THAT THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, CONSTRUCTIVELY PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE REQUESTING OR WHAT THE OWNER IS REQUESTING.
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO CONTINUE THIS TILL NEXT MONTH, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY.
SO, NO, I TAKE PICTURES OF IT ONCE A WEEK AND, YOU KNOW, OKAY, WELL, I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO CONTINUE THIS TO NEXT MONTH. SO I THINK YOU NEED TO ADVISE WHOEVER YOU'RE DEALING WITH THAT SOMEBODY NEEDS TO APPEAR AT THIS HEARING THAT HAS KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IT IS THEY'RE ASKING FOR AND WHY THEY'RE ASKING AND WHY THEY'RE ASKING FOR IT.
AND LIKE I SAID, THE INDIVIDUAL THAT ACTUALLY FILED THIS APPLICATION IS SOMEBODY NAMED DECKER SCOTT.

LIKE I SAID, I MEAN, IT WAS IN FORECLOSURE AND IT WAS VACANT FOR A WHILE.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE BANK, THEY DIDN'T GET THEIR DEED OR TITLE BACK THEN.
SOME SQUATTERS MOVED IN THERE.
SO IT'S JUST BEEN A VACANT PROPERTY FOR, I THINK, THE LAST TWO YEARS.
SO. DO I JUST GO ONLINE? WELL, LET ME LET ME ASK YOU A DIFFERENT QUESTION.
THE APPLICATION SAYS IT'S FOR 50% REDUCTION IN THE IN THE AMOUNT OF THE OUTSTANDING LIEN IS I MEAN, DO YOU HAVE AUTHORITY TO AGREE TO THAT? YEAH. I MEAN THEY GAVE ME AUTHORITY TO, TO, YOU KNOW, FIGURE OUT WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE OR ANY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, JUSTIFICATION.
