I'M. FEMA IS WORKING WITH ME, BUT THAT SEEMS TO TAKE A LONG TIME.
THEY PUT A TARP UP THE TARP, GUYS, AFTER THE STORM.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE WITH SANDBAGS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY DONE. AND I'M BASICALLY WAITING WITH FEMA BECAUSE I NEED FEMA'S HELP, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS AND BECAUSE OF THE NEW TARIFF STUFF OR WHATEVER.
NOW I'M LIKE 5000 SHORT. SO I REQUESTED MORE FUNDS FROM FEMA ON APRIL 26TH, AND I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. OKAY. WHAT WHAT WAS THEIR RESPONSE TIME BEFORE? BECAUSE APRIL 26TH ISN'T. THAT'S NOT TOO LONG AGO.
SO HAVE YOU HAD HAVE YOU BEEN IN COMMUNICATIONS WITH THEM? I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM.
SO I'M JUST WAITING. OKAY. AND DO YOU HAVE A NAME OF SOMEONE AT FEMA THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE WORKING WITH? IT'S WHOEVER ANSWERS THE PHONE OVER THERE. THERE'S NOT JUST ONE PERSON.
THEY'LL ASK FOR PICTURES. AND THEN THE OTHER PERSON YOU TALK TO SAYS, OH, WE DON'T NEED PICTURES.
WE DON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE PICTURES. NOW, I HAD A LADY THAT CAME OUT THAT WORKS WITH FEMA.
SHE WAS OUT. IT WAS SOMETIME, I THINK, AND SHE WENT AROUND AND TOOK MORE PICTURES.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE, I'M JUST KIND OF STUCK RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW? OKAY. YEAH. THAT'S. SO. SO WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE DO YOU HAVE TO YOUR ROOF? WHAT'S WHAT'S THE, LIKE THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE? I SEE THE BLUE TARP IS OVER THE ENTIRE THING, BUT IS IT IS IT, LIKE, CONFINED TO JUST ONE SPACE OR.
[00:15:06]
IT'S GOT LIKE. WELL, IT'S NOT LEAKING NOW, YOU KNOW, BUT IT HAD LIKE, 4 OR 5 LEAKS.OKAY. AND HAVE YOU. YOU SAID THE PRICE HAS GONE UP, HAVE YOU? DO YOU HAVE ESTIMATES FROM FROM CONTRACTORS? THE.
NO, I JUST NEED THE ROOFER. YEAH. ONE OF THEM QUOTED ME LIKE HIPPO ROOFING QUOTED $26,000.
OKAY. AND SO YOU'RE TAKING THOSE QUOTES THAT YOU GET.
SO I CALL OTHER ROOFERS A ROOF. BROTHERS FINALLY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY'RE NOT HELPING ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DEAL WITH FEMA BECAUSE THEY HAD GIVEN ME 2 OR 3 ESTIMATES ALREADY. YOU KNOW, THEY ALL WANT NEW.
IT DEPENDS ON WHO WHEN YOU CALL. IT DEPENDS ON WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE.
YOU DON'T GET A SUPERVISOR. WHAT ABOUT YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE? HAVE YOU MADE A CLAIM? I DON'T HAVE INSURANCE. OKAY, SO THAT'S WHY. THAT'S WHY WE'RE WORKING WITH FEMA HERE. OKAY.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE YOU'RE WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT. BUT JUST HOW MUCH MORE TIME IS.
I DON'T KNOW. SOMEBODY EVEN SAID, WHY DON'T YOU JUST KIND OF GIVE UP AND GO TO THE CITY AND GET A HOMEOWNERS PERMIT AND THEN TRY TO DO IT LIKE MYSELF, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO GO ABOUT THAT. I'M DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO ADVISE YOU TO DO THAT FROM HERE, YOU KNOW? SO WHEN DID YOU WHEN DID THIS START? WHEN DID IT WHEN DID YOU FIRST NOTICE THE DAMAGE IN CONTACT, FEMA AND ALL THAT? TWO STORMS AGO. OKAY. SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN TWO. WAS IT TWO YEARS AGO OR.
YEAH. LIKE TWO STORMS AGO. YEAH. IT DIDN'T LEAK THEN, BUT NOW WE, YOU KNOW, NOW THEN THAT'S WHY THEY CAME AND PUT THE TARP ON. OKAY. AND I ASKED, I ASKED MISS SNEAD.
I SAID, OKAY, WELL, IF IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF THE TARP, I'LL JUST TAKE THE TARP OFF.
YOU CAN'T TAKE IT. BUT THEN THAT'S GOING TO. NO, THAT'S MUCH THAT'S BETTER.
BUT I'M KIND OF STUCK HERE. I MEAN, I LIVE OFF OF MY DISABILITY.
I GET 800 A MONTH. THAT'S IT. SO I'M KIND OF STUCK ON WHAT I CAN DO.
YEAH. I DON'T SEE THIS GETTING RESOLVED ANYTIME SOON. NOT BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ROOFERS OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, THAT COULD DO IT QUICKLY, BUT I JUST DON'T SEE I DON'T SEE FEMA COMING THROUGH ANYTIME SOON. SO RATHER THAN HAVE YOU COME BACK HERE LIKE, MONTH AFTER MONTH AFTER MONTH ASKING FOR AN EXTENSION, DOES THE CITY, WOULD THE CITY HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH A SIX MONTH EXTENSION ON THIS ONE? OKAY. YEAH. LET'S I'M GOING TO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A SIX MONTH EXTENSION.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. YEAH. MY HOPEFULLY THAT'S ENOUGH TIME FOR LIKE, FEMA TO CALL YOU BACK.
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE LADY AT THE BANK WHEN SHE SEES ME COME IN.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE. YEAH, HERE I COME AGAIN. I HEAR YOU.
OKAY, SO I'M GOING TO SET THE DATA COMPLIANCE FOR NOVEMBER 10TH, 2025.
AND THEN IT'S $50 A DAY EVERY DAY AFTER THAT THAT THE PROPERTY IS STILL NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
BUT IF YOU COME BACK AND THERE'S PROGRESS BEING MADE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TALK ABOUT ANOTHER EXTENSION.
OKAY. SO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NO PROBLEM.
OH. YOU COULD JUST PUT IT RIGHT HERE. YOU COULD JUST PUT IT THERE. NO, NO, YOU COULD JUST PUT IT RIGHT THERE. THAT'S FINE.
IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY. OUR NEXT CASE IS CB 2587025 AT 299 HILLIARD ROAD NORTHWEST.
THE CODE OFFICER IS CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON. CHRIS ROBINSON, CODE COMPLIANCE.
LIKE YOU SAID, THIS IS 299 HILLIARD ROAD, AND THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE,
[00:20:03]
FIRE PREVENTION CODE, AND BUILDING DETERIORATING CONDITIONS DUE TO STORM SHUTTERS STILL BEING UP OVER THE WINDOWS.OKAY. THANKS. SIR, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE COME UP, STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
MY NAME IS ERIC HANS. I'M BEEN IN THIS PROPERTY SINCE 98.
I THINK THESE SHUTTERS HAVE BEEN UP FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS WITH NO COMMENTS.
THEY'RE NOT UGLY SHUTTERS. THEY DON'T AFFECT THE THE STATE OF THE PROPERTY, MAKE IT LOOK BAD OR OLD.
THEY'RE CLEAN, THEY GET CLEANED REGULARLY, AND I DON'T SEE THEM BEING 92 YEARS OLD.
I REALIZED THE THE THING ABOUT FIREMAN ACCESS.
SO ALTHOUGH I'VE GOT A FLORIDA ROOM ON THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, WHICH PROBABLY COULD BE ACCESSED, I'VE TAKEN UP THE SHUTTERS OFF THE MAIN WINDOW AT THE FRONT, AND I'VE GOT PICTURES HERE TO SHOW.
SHOW THAT AND WHAT THE REST OF THE PROPERTY LOOKS LIKE.
SO IT'S. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEE THOSE IF YOU HAVE.
OH, THAT'S THE ONE. I'VE TAKEN THE SHUTTERS OFF THAT MAIN WINDOW.
WHICH WOULD BE ONE. THE ONLY ONE THAT WOULD BE EASY ACCESS.
OKAY. OKAY, I SEE THAT. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. SO JUST FOR THE QUESTION, FOR THE CITY ARE THESE I SEE SECTION 93 VIOLATION AND THEN THE 2021 IPMC. ARE THESE TWO SEPARATE VIOLATIONS, OR IS THE 2021 JUST.
I JUST DID MULTIPLE PULLED FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE ORDINANCE.
ONE IS THE FIRE PREVENTION CODE. THEN INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AND PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE REQUIRES THAT WINDOWS FUNCTION THE WAY THEY WERE DESIGNED. WHEN YOU HAVE STORM SHUTTERS OVER IT, THEY CAN'T FIRE PREVENTION CODE REALLY TALKS ABOUT HOW THE ESCAPE AND TIMELY RESCUE.
AND THEN THERE'S THE LIGHTING AND HAZARD TO HEALTH FOR HAVING THE STORM SHUTTERS UP.
SO THERE'S ALREADY AN EGRESS THERE THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.
SO THE OTHER ONES, LIKE THE BACK BEDROOMS. THERE'S NO WAY TO GET IN OR OUT WITH THE STORM SHUTTERS.
RIGHT. OKAY. OKAY, SIR. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HAD YOU'VE HAD THEM UP FOR A WHILE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE YOU'VE MADE AN EFFORT TO, TO COMPLY A LITTLE BIT HERE.
BUT THE, THE RULE IS THAT ALL THE STORM SHUTTERS HAVE TO BE OFF OF THE.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I MEAN, WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE WORK FOR CONTRACTORS, BASICALLY BECAUSE THE SHUTTERS, THE SHUTTERS WERE STEEL SHUTTERS OR THEY LOOKED UGLY OR WHATEVER.
I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT BEING A PROBLEM, BUT THE FACT THAT THEY'RE QUITE THEY LOOK QUITE ELEGANT, IF YOU LIKE, IF YOU MIND TO SAY AS MUCH AS THE WINDOWS WERE BEFORE.
THE ONLY COMMENT THE GENTLEMAN WAS SAYING ABOUT ABOUT EXCESS, THE EXIT FROM THE HOUSE.
WELL, WE HAVE WE HAVE A FLORIDA ROOM AND A POOL AREA AND ACCESS TO THAT SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
THE FRONT DOOR WOULDN'T BE THE WAY I WOULD GO ANYWAY, AND IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE.
IT'S JUST IT'S JUST LIKE. LOOKING AT THE LAW AND SAYING, OH, THE LAW IS THE LAW.
YOU KNOW, COMPLY OR GET LOST. THAT DOESN'T SEEM FAIR.
WELL, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT MY JURISDICTION HERE IS.
I MEAN, THE THE LAW IS ALL THE WINDOWS HAVE TO BE, HAVE TO BE OPERATING AS WINDOWS.
THEY CAN'T HAVE SHUTTERS. NONE OF THE WINDOWS OPEN, THE OTHER WINDOWS OPEN.
SO. WELL I YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO THAT'S NOT BEFORE US HERE.
SO YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO. YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO TELL US THAT YOUR WINDOWS AREN'T WORKING ANYWAY.
THEY DON'T WORK. THEY'RE NOT DESIGNED TO WORK.
BUT THE THE THE RULE IS THAT THE STORM SHUTTERS HAVE TO BE OFF ALL OF THE WINDOWS.
IT'S NOT. THEY HAVE TO BE OFF ALL OF THE WINDOWS UNLESS THEY LOOK OKAY.
SO DO WE CHANGE THEM? WELL, THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S THAT'S FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO DECIDE.
THAT'S. I DON'T HAVE THAT THAT SORT OF AUTHORITY MY JURISDICTION HERE IS LIMITED TO IS IT IS THE VIOLATION PRESENT? AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? THAT'S IT. SO YOU KNOW, I'M, I'M HAPPY TO GIVE YOU AN EXTENSION TO REMOVE THE REST OF THE SHUTTERS, BUT I CAN'T JUST WAVE. I CAN'T JUST WAVE IT OFF WHEN WE ALL AGREE THAT THERE ARE SHUTTERS ON WHEN THEY WHEN THE RULE SAYS THEY'RE NOT TO BE ON.
[00:25:01]
SO IF YOU GET A HURRICANE, COME IN. HOW HOW HOW WHEN CAN YOU PUT THE SHUTTERS UP? I USUALLY PUT THEM UP THE DAY BEFORE, WHEN THERE'S A THREAT.WHEN THERE'S A STORM THREAT, THE STORM SHUTTERS CAN GO UP.
YEAH, WELL, ON THIS STORM'S COMING SHORTLY. THEY'LL BE COMING EVERY MONTH.
THERE'LL BE THREATS WHEN THEY ARE. THEY WILL.
THEY WILL. YEAH. I MEAN, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S JUST PART OF OWNING A HOME IN FLORIDA IS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE YOUR SHUTTERS, PUT THEM UP, PUT THEM UP AND TAKE THEM DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SEASON. THAT'S JUST WONDERFUL.
I'M NOT SURE. HOW COME YOU'RE RUSHING AROUND SHUTTERS EVERY FIVE MINUTES LIKE THERE IS IN THE SUMMER? I UNDERSTAND THAT, I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT I MEAN, THE AGAIN, THE RULES DON'T SAY THAT YOU CAN HAVE YOUR WINDOWS UP OR YOU CAN.
WHAT DOES THE WORD STORM THREATEN WHEN YOU GET.
TO PUT THE SHUTTERS UP. WHAT? WHAT'S THE WORD THAT COMES TO SHUTTERS CAN GO UP NOW, THAT WORD, SIR, I'M NOT. I'M NOT HERE TO DEBATE WITH YOU WHETHER OR NOT.
SO I'M I'M HAPPY TO GIVE YOU AN EXTENSION, BUT ALL I NEED FROM YOU IS HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED? A COUPLE OF WEEKS EXPLAINED. OKAY. DOES THE CITY HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH A WITH A 14 DAY EXTENSION OR I'LL DO A 15 DAY.
OKAY. SO WE'LL SET THE DATE OF COMPLIANCE TO MAY 29TH, 2025.
AND THEN IT'LL BE A $50 A DAY PER VIOLATION FOR EACH DAY THAT THE VIOLATIONS STILL EXIST.
AFTER THAT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANKS.
