THEN I WENT ON TO APPLY FOR THE PERMITS, AND ONE PERMIT ALREADY HAS BEEN ISSUED AND ANOTHER ONE IS WAITING FOR ONE ISSUE, AND I'M WORKING WITH THE DRAFTING COMPANY TO GET, YOU KNOW, THE UPDATE OR CORRECTIONS, THEN SUBMIT TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO GET THE SECOND PERMIT.

OKAY. AND ACTUALLY AS LOOKING AT IT TODAY. IT WAS IT'S TODAY THE 10TH.

YEAH. IT WAS DISAPPROVED AGAIN TODAY ON THE SIX, TEN 2026.

OKAY. DID ANY IDEA WHY IT WAS DISAPPROVED? YEAH.

THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE CORRECTION, THE UPDATED LIKE IN A PLAN.

AND ALSO I SENT OVER THE UPDATED COMMENT LETTER TO THEM AND SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO LIKE, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT IS TIME SENSITIVE AND THE RESPONDED BACK SAY, YEAH, WE'RE ALMOST DONE.

AND ALSO THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL KEEP ME UPDATED TODAY.

THE CODE OFFICER IS LETITIA DEAN.

FOR DIRECTOR. LETITIA DEAN, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY, PRESENTING CASE CV2600941.

SUBMITTING PHOTOS AND DIGITAL FILES THAT ACCURATELY DEPICT THE PROPERTY.

DURING MY INSPECTIONS ON 317, THE PROPERTY WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF CODE SECTION 73.21 B NO JUNK OR INOPERABLE MOTOR OR OTHER VEHICLES ALLOWED.

AND THEN ALSO IPMC2021 304.13. EVERY WINDOW SHOULD BE IN SOUND CONDITION AND GOOD REPAIR.

FLORIDA FIRE PREVENTION CODE IS ADOPTED BY SECTION 33.2, 2021 A OF THE CITY OF PALM BAY CODE ORDINANCE, TO WHICH STORM SHUTTERS COVERING WINDOWS PREVENTING ESCAPE WITH NO IMMINENT STORM THREAT AND ACCUMULATION OF TRASH AND DEBRIS OR UNSIGHTLY MATTER THAT CONSTITUTES A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND A SERIOUS THREAT TO PUBLIC WELFARE.

THE OWNER HAS SHUTTERS COVERING THE WINDOW AND TWO INOPERABLE VEHICLES ON THE PROPERTY.

DURING MY LAST INSPECTION ON SIX NINE, I FOUND THE PROPERTY REMAINS IN VIOLATIONS AND I HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH THE OWNER AND HE IS HERE TODAY TO SPEAK ON HIS BEHALF.

AND I'VE BEEN WORKING THIS CASE FOR 85 DAYS. ALL RIGHT, SIR, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

MARIO GONZALEZ, JUAN DAVID CIRCO. YEAH. THE QUESTION WITH THE LADY HERE IS LIKE TAKE THE SHUTTERS DOWN. WE'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2009, AND I TAKE HIM ON AND OFF, BUT IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO GET UP THERE AND REMOVE THEM ALL THE TIME. SO THIS IS HURRICANE SEASON.

AND I TOLD HER THAT WE GOING TO TAKE THEM OFF AT THE END OF NOVEMBER LAST YEAR.

I DIDN'T TAKE THEM OFF AND THAT'S WHEN SHE WROTE ME UP.

[00:10:01]

IF THERE'S NOTHING COMING UP, WE DON'T KNOW LIVING IN FLORIDA.

PLUS IT'S A SAFETY THING WITH MY FAMILY AND MYSELF.

WE LIVE IN AN AREA THAT HAS NO LIGHTS. IT'S DARK AT NIGHT TIME, AND SO THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY ABOUT THE SITUATION WITH THE SHUTTERS. I TOOK THEM OFF, EXCEPT THE BOTTOM ONE THAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE THAT I LEFT IT THERE BECAUSE THE OTHER ONES ALREADY TOOK HIM OFF.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING REMAINING THAT SHE QUESTIONED ME ABOUT TAKING THEM OFF. AND I SAID, WELL, I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD TAKE IT OFF.

FLORIDA. IS THERE A LAW THAT REQUIRES YOU TO TAKE THEM ALL OFF? YEAH, BUT THE THE CODE THAT YOU'VE BEEN CITED FOR.

THAT'S THE LAW. I DON'T KNOW THE NUMBERS, BUT ACCORDING TO THE SITUATION WITH THE HURRICANE, SHE SAID, TAKE THEM OFF WHEN THE STORM COMES.

HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN THE STORMS ARE COMING? I KNOW LIKE IT.

IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN GO OUT THERE, GET THE LADDER, PUT THEM ON BECAUSE YOU GOT TO PUT THOSE WASHERS ON.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO FOR THE SHUTTER ISSUES, THEY GOT TO COME DOWN.

THERE'S NO WE, WE CAN'T MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE OF THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THE STORM COMES.

IF SOME HURRICANE COMES, YOU GOTTA PUT THEM BACK UP.

THAT'S HOW WE THAT'S WE ALL, WE ALL DO THAT. WE ALL DEAL WITH THAT.

THAT'S THE LOCAL CODE HERE. CORRECT. YEP. THAT'S THE THAT'S THE CODE.

YOU KNOW, YOU GOTTA YOU CAN PUT THEM UP RIGHT BEFORE A STORM.

BUT ONCE, YOU KNOW, LIKE TIME RIGHT NOW, WHEN THERE'S NO, NO STORMS, THEY GOT TO COME DOWN.

SO WHAT'S THE NEXT ONE? JUNK VEHICLES. YES. OKAY.

TELL ME ABOUT THE VEHICLES. WHAT DO WE GOT GOING ON THERE? ONE OF THE VEHICLES IS A CLASSIC, AND I JUST HAVE IT COVERED THERE. I BEEN KEEPING IT.

THE OTHER ONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH TEMPERATURE OR SOMETHING.

AND I, I HAVE IT THERE. I TRIED TO GET IT CORRECTED, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO DO IT.

REALLY. IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS I STILL THERE.

DOES IT, DOES THE CAR OPERATE? DOES IT RUN? IT RUNS, BUT IT OVERHEATS.

IT NEEDS TO PUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE AND REPLACE A HEATER UNIT.

OKAY. THAT'S THE ONLY THING. THE OTHER CAR, THE CLASSIC CAR DOES THAT.

DOES THAT WORK? YEAH. IT WORKS. SO THAT'S NOT A JUNK VEHICLE.

NO, NO. OKAY. THAT'S THAT'S ABOUT THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE IT.

HAS IT BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A JUNK VEHICLE JUST BECAUSE IT'S UNDER THE COVER AND IT HASN'T BEEN MOVED? HAS TO BE REGISTERED. OH, IT HASN'T BEEN REGISTERED.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THE OTHER VEHICLE, THE ONE IS THAT REGISTERED? NO. OKAY. IT HAS TO BE REGISTERED. THEY DON'T HAVE TAX ON THEM.

OKAY. SO WELL GETTING THEM REGISTERED SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

YES, SIR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO CARS GOT TO GET REGISTERED.

WHAT'S THE. THERE WERE THREE. CORRECT. THREE VIOLATIONS.

THERE WERE FOUR, BUT THE ONE FOR THE SHUTTERS AND THE ONE FOR THE WINDOWS.

THEY COINCIDE BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE WINDOWS WERE OPERABLE OR INOPERABLE BECAUSE THEY RECOVERED.

IT LOOKED FROM THOSE FROM THE AFTER PICTURE THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE FINE.

YES. OKAY. AND SO THEN WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE? DEBRIS. ALL RIGHT. IS THE TRASH. IS THAT TAKEN CARE OF? YES, SIR.

OKAY. ACTUALLY, HE HAS A FEW, A LITTLE THE SECOND PICTURE, I THINK.

THE LITTLE ITEMS UP THERE IN FRONT NEXT TO THE CAR.

THERE WERE MORE IN FRONT. IT LOOKS LIKE HE DID START CLEANING UP SOME OF THE ITEMS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, SIR. SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE YOU'RE DEFINITELY MAKING AN EFFORT TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.

WE JUST GOT A FEW MORE STEPS THAT WE GOT TO GO GO THROUGH.

SO SO WHAT WE NEED TO TAKE DOWN THE LAST OF THE SHUTTERS.

YOU NEED TO GET THE CARS REGISTERED AND JUST REMOVE THE LAST OF THAT, THAT DEBRIS THE TRASH.

HOW, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU'LL NEED TO. ALL RIGHT.

DONE. ALREADY DONE IT. THE TRASH TO SEE WHAT WAS TALKING ABOUT.

IT WAS JUST ITEMS THAT I HAD COVERED THERE. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THEN. I KNOW THAT THING'S THERE. ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M JUST GOING JUST TO KEEP THE ORDER SIMPLE.

I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ONE EXTENSION FOR EVERYTHING.

SO. OKAY. SO IF IT'S ALREADY DONE, THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

I THINK THE ONE THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO TAKE THE LONGEST TO BE THE CAR'S GETTING REGISTERED.

DO YOU HAVE ANY, DO YOU ANTICIPATE ANY PROBLEM WITH GETTING THEM REGISTERED. LIKE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CLASSIC CLASSIC CAR SHOULD BE FINE, BUT THE ONE THAT'S THAT YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING IT, YOU KNOW, BUT I THINK JUST CAME UP.

[00:15:08]

I COULD USE A MONTH MAYBE. OKAY. ANY PROBLEM WITH THE MONTH? NO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL SET THE NEW DATE OF COMPLIANCE AS JULY 10TH, 2026, AND THEN IT'LL BE $50 A DAY FINE FOR EVERY DAY FOR EACH OF THOSE FOUR VIOLATIONS.

SO IT WOULD BE $200 A DAY TOTAL. AND THEN YOU CAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT THE WHOLE MONTH TO, TO TAKE CARE OF, TO TAKE CARE OF THE, THE VIOLATION.

SO IF LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE TRASH IS, IS REALLY ALL GONE, OR AS SOON AS YOU GET THE SHUTTERS DOWN, YOU CAN CALL CODE AND THEY'LL COME IN AT LEAST, AT LEAST CLEAR THOSE ONES OFF SO THAT IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN, YOU'RE NOT STUCK WITH $200 A DAY, IT WOULD JUST BE 50, RIGHT? OKAY. THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS CB 2683926 AT 2739 JUPITER BOULEVARD, SOUTHWEST.

THE CODE OFFICER IS LETITIA DEAN. LETITIA DEAN, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.

PRESENTING CASE NUMBER CV2601120. SUBMITTING PHOTOS AND DIGITAL FILES TO ACCURATELY DEPICT THE PROPERTY DURING MY INSPECTION VIOLATION WAS DISCOVERED ON MARCH 31ST. THE PROPERTY WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF PALM BAY CODE OF ORDINANCE SECTION 93.041.

EXCESSIVE VEGETATION THAT CONSTITUTES A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND SERIOUS THREAT TO WELFARE.

SECTION 93.031 A ONE EXTERIOR PREMISES OR STRUCTURE NOT MAINTAINED IN GOOD REPAIR.

CITY OF PALM BAY PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AS ADOPTED BY SECTION 93.043.

A PALM BAY CODE OF ORDINANCES 101 I'M SORRY. 108 .1.1 UNSAFE STRUCTURES.

604.3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAZARDS. 304 .1.1 UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

605.1 INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, WIRING AND APPLIANCES SHALL BE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED IN A SAFE AND APPROVED MANNER.

SECTION 93.031 A ONE SCREENS IN DISREPAIR. SECTION 7172.002 BUILDING OR STRUCTURE ERECTED, MOVED OR ADDED OR ALTERED WITHOUT REQUIRED PERMIT.

TO WIT. ENCLOSURE OF THE GARAGE WITHOUT A PERMIT.

THE PROPERTY HAS EXCESSIVE VEGETATION GROWING FROM THE ROOF OF THE RESIDENCE.

AT THE TIME OF MY ORIGINAL INSPECTION ALONG THE BACK PROPERTY LINE, THE PROPERTY AT THE TIME WAS BEING RENTED BY A TENANT WHO STATED THE WATER SPIGOT ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE DID NOT HAVE A PROPER SHUTOFF VALVE, AND SHE HAD TO UTILIZE A HOSE TO PREVENT FLOODING IN THE FRONT YARD.

SHE ALSO POINTED OUT SEVERAL VIOLATIONS ON THE PROPERTY THAT WAS NOT FIXED BY THE LANDLORD AT THE TIME, SUCH AS BROKEN WINDOWS, MISSING SCREENS, EXPOSED WIRING AND EXCESSIVE MILDEW ON THE PROPERTY.

DURING MY LAST INSPECTION OF SIX NINE, THE PROPERTY REMAINS IN VIOLATION, BUT I DID NOTICE THAT THE LANDLORD DID MAKE SOME CORRECTIONS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY. SO THEY'VE BEEN ACTIVELY TRYING TO WORK TO GET THE VIOLATIONS CORRECTED.

I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY MANAGER AND I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS CASE FOR 71 DAYS.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND FERNANDO CALDERON ON BEHALF OF TANO HOMES, LLC. OKAY. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU HERE.

YES. IT'S A LONG STORY, BUT SHE'S PRETTY MUCH MENTIONED EVERYTHING, AND WE'RE WORKING ON TO FIXING EVERYTHING.

ALL THE VIOLATIONS. TENANT FINALLY IS OUT. WE WERE WAITING FOR FOR HER TO GET OUT OR WE WERE GOING TO EVICT HER SINCE LONG ISSUE. SO WE COULDN'T START TO WORK ON THE PROPERTY UNTIL SHE WAS OUT.

OKAY. AND NOW THAT SHE'S OUT, WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.

AND AS SHE WAS ABLE TO SEE A COUPLE DAYS AGO OR YESTERDAY, YESTERDAY, YESTERDAY, YES, IT'S BEEN PAINTED.

MOST OF THE ISSUES ARE BEING CORRECTED. OKAY.

SO GENERALLY WHAT CONCERNS ME MOST WHEN WITH PROPERTIES LIKE THIS IS JUST THINGS THAT CAN BE A HAZARD TO, YOU KNOW, LIKE IF KIDS PLAYING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR DECIDED TO RUN ACROSS THE PROPERTY.

THIS ONE ELECTRICAL HAZARDS IT HAS THAT BEEN.

HAVE YOU TAKEN ANY. SO SINCE THE PROPERTY IS BEING PAINTED, ALL THE ALL THE LIGHTS WERE REMOVED.

OKAY. SO NEW LIGHTS WILL BE INSTALLED. SO THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

[00:20:02]

ABOVE THERE'S A OUTLET THAT'S EXPOSED IS NOT COVERED.

AND THEN ALSO STRUCTURAL. THERE'S A POST MISSING THAT'S PART OF THE ROOF STRUCTURE ON THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE THAT DOES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

SO THOSE EXPOSED WIRES HAVE NO ELECTRICAL POWER.

THAT'S ALL AT&T AND THEN THE ONE IN THE ROOF LINES.

OKAY. BUT THAT'S BEEN REMOVED. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD. AND THEN THERE'S A SUPPORT STRUCTURE. IT'S A MISSING SUPPORT BEAM.

I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST PICTURE. IT SHOULD BE THE FIRST PICTURE. THE VERY FIRST ONE, I BELIEVE SO.

NO, THAT'S INSIDE THE HOUSE. SO YOU WERE ABLE TO WALK IN THE HOUSE.

SHE SENT ME THOSE PICTURES. LIEUTENANT.

YOU HAVE SO MANY. IT'S TAKING A MINUTE. OKAY.

WELL, WELL, WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT TO LOAD UP, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO GET ALL OF THIS STUFF? 45 TO 60 DAYS WOULD BE NICE. OKAY. YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS IT.

SO YOU SEE, THERE SHOULD BE THREE POSTS. AND ON THE VERY CORNER OF THAT WINDOW THERE'S MISSING POSTS.

SO IT SHOULD BE THERE AND IT'S SUPPORTING THAT ROOF.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. I THINK 60 DAYS IS REASONABLE FOR, FOR THIS AMOUNT OF WORK.

YOU GOT ANY ISSUE WITH THAT? NO. THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO GET PERMITTING FOR THE ENCLOSED GARAGE SO WE CAN ACCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL TIME IF NEEDED.

BUT HE DOES HAVE A GARAGE ENCLOSURE THAT WAS NOT PERMITTED.

OKAY. AND THAT'S ONE OF THESE. I NEED A PERMIT FOR THAT PORCH TOO, BECAUSE THAT HOLDS UP THE WEIGHT OF THE ROOF.

SO HE'LL HAVE TO GET A PERMIT TO REPLACE THAT POST AS WELL.

OKAY. SO 60 DAYS IS PROBABLY MORE AND MORE OPTIMISTIC.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO 90 DAYS THEN.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL SET THE NEW DATE OF COMPLIANCE TO SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2026.

ALL RIGHT. AND THEN IT'LL BE $50 A DAY FOR EACH AND EVERY VIOLATION THAT STILL REMAINS AFTER SEPTEMBER 8TH. SO I WOULD, YOU KNOW, LIKE, LIKE I SUGGESTED BEFORE WITH THE LAST PROPERTY, I WOULD, AS THESE THINGS GET DONE, HAVE CODE COME OUT AND CLEAR THEM JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS WAY IF CAN I CAN ASK SOMETHING, HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE ENCLOSED GARAGE. WHEN THE COMPANY ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY, IT WAS ALREADY ENCLOSED.

SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THAT? THAT'S HOW THE PROPERTY WAS.

WHEN YOU GET AN ACTIVE AFTER THE FACT PERMIT, THEY'LL PROBABLY REQUIRE YOU TO JUST HAVE AN ENGINEER CERTIFIED THAT IT WAS DONE PROPERLY, THAT IT MEETS ALL THE LOAD BEARING BECAUSE YOU'VE CHANGED THE INTEGRITY OF THE WALL.

IT WAS I, IT WAS IT WAS DESIGNED. BUT YOU BUY THE HOUSE AS IS LIKE YOU BUY A CAR.

SO IT'S BEEN CHANGED NOW. SO IT SUPPORTS A BIGGER LOAD THAN WHEN IT WAS OPEN.

SO YOU WOULD JUST APPLY FOR AN AFTER THE FACT PERMIT AND THEY'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO GET THAT DONE.

YOU'RE SAYING THAT WAS A CARPORT? BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS A ONE CAR GARAGE BEFORE, RIGHT? NOTHING WAS CHANGED STRUCTURALLY. NO. YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE AN OPEN WALL INTO A SOLID WALL BECAUSE NOW YOU'VE CHANGED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THAT WALL. YOU'VE CHANGED IT. SO IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A PERMIT.

OKAY. BUT THEY CAN WALK YOU THROUGH THAT WHEN YOU GO OVER THERE.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT CASE TO BE HEARD IS ITEM NUMBER 27 UNDER THE PER DAY FINE AGENDA.

THIS IS AT 806 VANCE CIRCLE, NORTHEAST. THE CODE OFFICER IS CHRIS ROBINSON.

FOR THE RECORD, I'M CHRIS ROBINSON, CODE COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY. THIS IS CASE NUMBER CV26-01108, REFERENCE 806 VANCE CIRCLE. MY INITIAL SITE VISIT WAS ON MARCH 31ST, 2026.

THE VIOLATIONS OBSERVED SECTION 74.25 RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKING SECTION 74.25 C ONE PROHIBITED PARKING SECTION 93.041 EXCESSIVE VEGETATION AND SECTION 74.12 PARKING ON SIDEWALKS OR SWALE

[00:25:06]

FOLLOW UP VISITS ON 420 AND 52726 FOUND THE TRAILER, MOVED TO THE CURRENT LOCATION ACROSS THE SIDEWALK AND ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, BUT JUST FORWARD OF THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE.

AND THEN THE TRUCK WAS ACROSS THE SIDEWALK, THE WEEDS STILL GROWING OUT OF THE ROOF.

MY LAST VISIT WAS SIX, NINE, 26 AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR 72 DAYS.

ALL RIGHT, SIR, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

TIMOTHY FIELDS I'M THE OWNER OF 806. VANCE. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S AT 70 DAYS. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR YEARS.

WHERE THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED. I MOVED IT THERE BECAUSE I'VE HAD THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TELL ME I CAN'T PARK WHERE I WAS INSTRUCTED BY DENNIS BUNDS TO PARK MY VEHICLE. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE TAGGED. SO I'M ONLY HERE OUT OF NOT OF COOPERATION OF ANY SORT.

EVERYWHERE I'VE MOVED THE VEHICLE I HAVE. I HAVE THE DOWNFALL OF HAVING A NEIGHBOR THAT LIKES TO ABUSE THE SYSTEM AND ATTACK ME BECAUSE JUST THE WAY IT GOES.

VALERIE STURGEON HAS DEALT WITH IT FOR YEARS.

IT'S AN ONGOING THING. THE CITY MANAGER'S BEEN INVOLVED EVERYWHERE I MOVED THE VEHICLE.

IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. SO I'M HERE TODAY TO MAYBE GET A RESOLUTION IN THIS SITUATION TO SAY, HEY, WHERE DO I NEED TO PUT IT? THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WASTE RESOURCES OF THE CITY MYSELF? YOU KNOW, I JUST NEED AN ANSWER AND CLARIFICATION.

AND THEN IT SEEMS LIKE THE MINUTE I DO MOVE IT AND IT STOPS, THE SAME COMPLAINANT CALLS AND SAYS THEY'RE BROKE DOWN.

THEN WE GO DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE OF ALL THE VEHICLES ARE BROKE DOWN.

EVERY ONE OF MY VEHICLES ON MY PROPERTY IS LICENSED, FULLY INSURED, ABLE TO BE ON THE ROAD.

AND I'M JUST AT MY WIT'S END HERE ON HOW WE RESOLVE THE MATTER TO WHERE WE ALL COME IN.

AGREEANCE WHERE, HEY, MR. FIELDS ISN'T THE PROBLEM.

IT'S THE GUY COMPLAINING. GOTCHA. ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S START WITH THE EASIER ONES FIRST.

THE WEEDS IN THE GROWING OFF THE OUT OF THE ROOF.

IF YOU LOOK AT THAT PHOTOGRAPH THERE JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE TREE, THAT'S HE SAYS IT'S A SCHEFFLERA GROWING OUT OF THE ROOF.

AND THEN AS YOU LOOK DOWN, THERE'S WEEDS CONTINUOUSLY GROWING ON IF THAT HE SAYS IT'S FOR HYDROPONICS, BUT THERE'S NO HYDROPONIC SYSTEM SET UP. THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO HAVE A SHUFFLE ERA ON YOUR ROOF DOESN'T MEET REASONABLE COMMUNITY STANDARDS.

IF IT WAS HYDROPONICS, HE'S GOT A DOWNSPOUT COMING JUST TO THE RIGHT OF WHERE THAT SCHEFFLERA IS.

THAT JUST GOES STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE PLANTS ON THE GROUND.

SO IT WOULD SERVE NO PURPOSE FOR IT TO BE HYDROPONICS.

ALSO, A CHEVALIER IS A TREE WHICH HAS AN EXTREMELY INVASIVE ROOT SYSTEM WHICH WOULD DESTROY HIS ROOF.

SO IT'S NOT REASONABLE FOR HIM TO HAVE A TREE ON HIS ROOF.

SO WE ASK THAT THAT IN THE WEEDS BE REMOVED. OKAY, SO AS CHRIS ITERATES HIS OPINION, THERE'S A PIPE THAT CONNECTS TO THE BOTTOM OF THAT. THAT'S OUT OF HIS VIEW, THAT RUNS BEHIND THAT SET OF SHRUBS THAT I'VE CUT DOWN RIGHT IN THAT CORNER, SO HE COULD SEE THE GUTTER RUNS BEHIND THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE TO A SET OF HYDROPONIC SYSTEMS. I COLLECT THE RAINWATER. I'VE HAD THAT SHRUB.

THAT SHRUB HAS BEEN ON THERE. I THINK MAYBE VALERIE CAN ATTEST TO IT SINCE PROBABLY 2017, 2016, IF NOT LONGER. IT'S BEEN OVER THERE ON THERE FOR TEN YEARS, AND UP UNTIL RECENTLY, NO ONE HAS SAID A WORD ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW.

EVEN WHEN I SPOKE WITH CHRIS EARLIER TODAY, HE SAID HE ONLY WRITTEN IT UP BECAUSE IT WAS A SECONDARY PROBLEM.

AND SEE WHAT I MEAN? IT'S JUST AN ONGOING CYCLE.

ALL RIGHT, I, I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT SO JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND, MY JURISDICTION ON THESE MATTERS BEGINS AND ENDS OR BEGINS WHEN THEY GIVE YOU THE NOTICE. SO WHATEVER HAPPENED TEN YEARS AGO, HOWEVER LONG YOU'VE HAD SOMETHING LIKE IF YOU'VE HAD A VIOLATION THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR TEN YEARS, THAT TO ME IS NOT THAT I DON'T GET TO SAY, OKAY, WE'LL JUST LET IT GO BECAUSE IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THAT LONG.

THE I, I'VE, I'VE HEARD OF HYDROPONICS BUT NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT, NOT IN A LEGAL CONTEXT.

OKAY. BUT IS THERE I'VE, IS THERE LIKE SOME KIND OF PERMITTING PROCESS THAT IS REQUIRED FOR HYDROPONICS? I LOOKED UP HYDROPONICS AND FOR HYDROPONICS, IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD PUT THAT WOULD FEED OFF WATER ONLY.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLANT IT INTO SOIL. THAT'S USUALLY FREE FRUIT AND VEGETATION OR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES THAT YOU WOULD DO IT FOR HE'S COLLECTING RAINWATER.

AND IT GOING THROUGH A SCHEFFLERA OR A PHILODENDRON, I BELIEVE THAT'S A XANADU, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU.

[00:30:08]

SO THAT'S NOT HYDROPONICS, THAT'S JUST RAIN COLLECTION SYSTEM.

AND THERE'S NO NEED FOR ANY TYPE OF VEGETATION ON THE ROOF TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

THE FILTRATION PROCESS WOULD BE AFTER THE ROOF BEFORE IT GOES INTO THE RAIN BARREL.

THAT'S A TRUE RAIN COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR POTABLE WATER.

IS THERE ANY EXCEPTION IN THE CODE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS? I MEAN, NO, BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE BASE THINGS ON REASONABLE COMMUNITY STANDARDS AND IT'S JUST NOT REASONABLE FOR A TREE TO BE GROWING OUT OF YOUR ROOF.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO REMOVE THE VEGETATION ON THE ROOF? I'M KIND OF AT THE IMPASSE OF I DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH IT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE TO KIND OF.

OKAY, LET ME LET ME TELL YOU HOW IT WORKS HERE.

AND YOU PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SEEN THAT FROM THE, THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT CAME BEFORE YOU.

I'M PRETTY REASONABLE. I'VE ALL, ALL I'VE ASKED FOR EVERYBODY IS HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO FIX THE FIX? THE PROBLEM. THEY GIVE ME A NUMBER, AND IN ALL BUT ONE CASE, I JUST GAVE THEM WHAT THEY ASKED FOR EXCEPT FOR THE ONE I ASKED.

THEY THAT I DIDN'T. I GAVE THEM MORE TIME. SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO REMOVE THE VEGETATION? HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE? I'M NOT.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT THEN I AM FINDING YOU. I'M JUST GOING TO.

THEN WE'RE DONE HERE. THAT YOUR THE CODE THE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO. I HAVEN'T UNDERSTOOD WHY YOU GUYS ARE STATING OPINIONS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY FACT WHERE THIS BUSH IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE.

THERE'S A FACT RIGHT THERE. OKAY, SO A PICTURE SO ANYONE CAN HAVE AN OPINION AND NOT A LAW.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO ASCERTAIN IN THIS HEARING. IF WE'RE JUST GOING OFF OF PEOPLE'S OPINION THAT AREN'T PROFESSIONALS.

I SAT IN THE SAME HEARING THAT YOU YOU BROUGHT UP YOURSELF OF PEOPLE SAYING ROOFS ARE MISSING POLES.

I DIDN'T KNOW SOME OF THESE PEOPLE ARE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS. YOU GUYS ARE BASING OPINIONS ON STUFF, POINTING OUT PEOPLE'S ELECTRICAL BOXES THAT AREN'T EVEN ELECTRICAL.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I AM THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. I WANT TO RESOLVE THIS IN AN AMICABLE SITUATION. I REALLY DO, SIR.

YOUR HONOR, I HAVE THE DEFINITION RIGHT HERE IF YOU'D LIKE TO HEAR IT. I'M.

I'M FULLY AWARE OF. OKAY, OKAY. I'M NOT. I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DIFFICULT.

YOU ARE BEING DIFFICULT. AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE. THAT'S WHY I ASKED YOU HOW MUCH TIME YOU NEED TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE. YOU SAID YOU'RE NOT GOING TO, SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO. OKAY, SO TELL ME. I WOULD LIKE THE CITY IN THIS HEARING TO TELL ME WHERE TO PARK MY VEHICLES.

THAT WILL NOT HAVE ME KEEP COMING DOWN HERE. WHAT IS THE.

I'VE MET WITH DENNIS. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO STOP TALKING NOW.

I HAVE SOME MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY. WHAT IS THE.

THE DATE OF THE VIOLATION WAS TO BE CORRECTED BY 512.

YES, SIR. MAY. MAY 12TH, 2026. OKAY, SO I'M FINDING THE PROPERTY IN VIOLATION OF ALL.

IT'S STILL IN VIOLATION OF ALL THE ALL THE ORDINANCES CITED.

WHEN DOES WHEN IS THE THE, WHEN DO THE FINES BEGIN TO ACCRUE? WHEN YOU SAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT OTHER, WHAT OTHER VIOLATIONS THAT ARE HERE, SIR, THAT WE HAVEN'T WENT OVER? WE DON'T HAVE TO GO OVER ALL OF THEM. IF YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME THAT YOU'RE NOT BRINGING THE PROPERTY I HAVE, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE VIOLATIONS.

I WOULD LIKE THE CITY TO INSTRUCT ME ON WHERE I CAN PARK MY VEHICLE, THAT I WILL NOT HAVE ME DOWN HERE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS.

THAT'S ALL I'M LOOKING FOR. IF THIS THE BUSH, I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE BUSH.

THE BUSH IS MORE OF A A HIGHER GROUND TO STAND ON, IF YOU UNDERSTAND.

I'M DOWN HERE OR I GET CODE VIOLATIONS. I'VE HAD.

HOW MANY. MR. BOND CAN ATTEST TO THIS. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE OFFICERS.

THEY'VE ROTATED THROUGH. OKAY. AND SO I'M JUST TRYING TO.

THIS IS WHAT I'M. I THINK WE'VE WASTED ENOUGH TIME HERE.

I'M SETTING THE DATA COMPLIANCE FOR JUNE 17TH, 2026 FOR ALL THE VIOLATIONS.

IT'LL BE $50 A DAY FINE EVERY DAY AFTER THAT FOR EACH AND EVERY VIOLATION.

THAT'S NOT NOT RESOLVED. AND YOU CAN CALL CODE CODE ENFORCEMENT ON YOUR OWN TIME TO I HAVE TO.

WELL, THEN YOU CAN CALL THEM AGAIN. OKAY, SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS STAND ON WHERE I CAN PARK MY VEHICLES.

I'M DONE. WE'RE DONE. I MADE MY RULING. OKAY.

SPECIAL MAGISTRATE JUST FOR THE RECORD, I, I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT IT'S YOUR ORAL RULING THAT YOU'RE FINDING THE RESPONDENT IN VIOLATION OF ALL OF THE VIOLATIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION, AND THAT YOU'RE GIVING HIM A REASONABLE TIME TO COMPLY TO WITH THE DATE THAT YOU STATED.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES. OKAY. AND THEREAFTER, IF THERE'S NO COMPLIANCE THAT THERE WOULD BE FINES, AS YOU STATED. CORRECT? CORRECT. OKAY. SO MR. BLUNT ADVISED ME THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO SPEAK WITH THE RESPONDENT REGARDING HOW HE CAN GO ABOUT COMING INTO COMPLIANCE TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION GOING FORWARD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

[CODE COMPLIANCE REPORTS]

THAT IS CB2664126, AND THAT'S AT 831 AIRPORT AVENUE SOUTHEAST.

THE CODE OFFICER IS PHILIP CLENDENIN.

FOR THE RECORD, PHIL CLENDENIN CO COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY, PRESENTING CASE NUMBER CV25-03584.

I AM SUBMITTING PHOTOS TO ACCURATELY DEPICT THE PROPERTY DURING MY INSPECTIONS FOR 831 AIRPORT AVENUE.

ON 2 OR 10 2225, THE PROPERTY WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO BE IN VIOLATION OF PALM BAY CODE OF ORDINANCES.

SECTIONS 176.20. NO PERSON, FIRM, CORPORATION OR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY SHALL CONSTRUCT, REMOVE, ALTER OR RECONSTRUCT THE CITY RIGHT OF WAY. SUMMARY INFORMATION.

[00:45:01]

THIS CASE WAS HEARD BACK IN FEBRUARY TO FEBRUARY 11TH.

THEY WERE GIVEN A 60 DAY EXTENSION. WE INSPECT, I INSPECTED THE PROPERTY BACK ON 413.

IT WAS STILL IN VIOLATION. AND ON SIX ONE I FOUND THE PROPERTY STILL REMAINS IN VIOLATION.

I HAVE NOT HAD CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER PRIOR TO TODAY, AND I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS CASE FOR APPROXIMATELY 231 DAYS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. MA'AM, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

HI. MY NAME IS ALYSSA, DARLING. WE. THE LAST TIME WE CAME HERE, WE TALKED ABOUT PUTTING GRASS THERE BECAUSE I HAD FIXED THE DRIVEWAY.

WE PLANNED IT. AND I WAS GOING TO PUT GRASS DOWN, BUT ME AND MY FIANCE TALKED ABOUT DOING A DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT WASN'T GOING TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO PARK THERE. WE CAME UP AND SPOKE TO BETSY.

WELL, I CAME UP AND SPOKE TO BETSY. WE WERE GOING TO PULL A PERMIT, BUT THE, MY DRAWINGS WEREN'T GOOD.

I PUT LIKE A TEN FOOT AND THE FOOTERS WEREN'T GOOD.

SO I ALSO FOUND OUT ON THE SAME DAY THE PERMIT WAS $211.

I JUST HAD A BABY 11 DAYS AGO AND I'M ON MATERNITY LEAVE UNPAID, SO I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY RIGHT NOW.

SO I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK FOR AN EXTENSION. WE DO PLAN ON INSTEAD OF DOING THE GRASS, ACTUALLY DOING A DRIVEWAY TO LIKE NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ISSUES.

OKAY. SO THE HEARING ON 211 WAS THAT WHEN THE EXTENSION WAS GRANTED. YES.

OKAY. OKAY. SO.

SO WE GRANTED YOU AN EXTENSION BASED ON THE FACT THAT YOU WERE GOING TO PUT GRASS IN.

YEAH. WE WERE GOING TO I WAS GOING TO PUT GRASS SEED DOWN.

OKAY. I THINK AND THEN WE WERE LOOKING AT DOING SOD.

BUT LIKE I SAID, WE HE HAS A DUMPSTER COMPANY.

SO WE DRIVE THE DUMPSTERS TO OUR BACK YARD. SO IT'S NOT THE, THE GRASS WAS NEVER GOING TO WORK.

WE WERE GOING TO END UP PUTTING THE DUMPSTER SOMEWHERE ELSE.

BUT THEN WE DECIDED THAT OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK AND WE COULDN'T AFFORD TO LIKE PAY TO LEAVE THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO GET THE DRIVEWAY DONE SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE UP.

AND YOU'VE APPLIED FOR THE DRIVEWAY PERMIT, BUT YOU JUST DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT YET? YEAH, I CAME UP AND I WAS GOING TO GET IT DONE.

IT WAS JUST DRAWN INCORRECTLY. AND THEN SHE TOLD ME WHEN I WAS GOING TO LEAVE THAT IT WAS 211.

BUT LIKE I SAID, I'M ON UNPAID MATERNITY LEAVE. WE HAVE SIX KIDS AND LIFE IS EXPENSIVE.

SO SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO AFFORD THE DRIVEWAY? SO HIS, MY FIANCE'S DAD'S FRIEND OWNS THE CONCRETE COMPANY AND HE'S GIVING US LIKE HALF OFF.

WE'RE GOING TO USE A CREDIT CARD. HE'S DOING IT FOR 3000.

WE GOT QUOTES FOR LIKE 7000. DO YOU HAVE A TIMELINE FOR WHEN THIS IS GOING TO BE DONE? I START WORK AGAIN ON JULY 9TH AND THEN MY FIRST PAYCHECK WILL BE BEFORE AUGUST, BUT I'M SURE WE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PERMIT BEFORE THEN.

WE WERE HOPING TO GET IT ALL DONE VERY SOON, BUT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE IT DONE ALREADY.

BUT IT'S YEAH. SO I MEAN, HONESTLY, IF WE PULL THE PERMIT IT, WOULD THAT BE LIKE SUFFICE UNTIL WE GET THE DRIVEWAY DONE OR DOES IT? HOW LONG UNTIL THE DRIVEWAY IS COMPLETE IS WHAT YOU'RE ASKING? WELL, I'M ASKING HOW LONG UNTIL THE DRIVEWAY IS COMPLETE.

OKAY, SO I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY PULL THE PERMIT WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT TAKES TO POUR A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY, SO I REALLY.

YEAH. I IMAGINE THE WORK I'D IMAGINE THE WORK DOESN'T TAKE THAT LONG ONCE IT'S, ONCE IT'S STARTED, BUT SO WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO BE DONE? REGARDLESS OF THE DRIVEWAY ISSUE, WHAT EXACTLY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE? WHAT'S WHAT'S THE QUESTION? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE PROPERTY? LIKE, LIKE I'M LOOKING AT A PICTURE HERE AND I JUST SEE, I SEE SOME WEEDS TO PUT THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE RIGHT NOW, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PARK THERE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL CONDITION, SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO PLAY SOD LIKE WE TALKED BACK IN FEBRUARY.

SO WHICH THAT WAS MY, MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT WAS THE ROUTE THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE BACK IN FEBRUARY.

YEAH. THEY WERE GOING TO PUT THE SOD DOWN AND PUT IT BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.

BUT AS OF SIX ONE THIS IS WHAT WE STILL HAVE.

SO THAT AREA WITH THE PORTA POTTY AND THE WEEDS, THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S A SEPARATE.

YEAH. THEY'RE BUILDING A NEW HOME. THEY'RE BUILDING A HOME, A NEW CONSTRUCTION. THEY'RE BUILDING A NEW HOUSE NEXT DOOR TO OURS. SO ACTUALLY THAT GRASS

[00:50:06]

YEAH. SO RIGHT WHERE LIKE, YEAH, LIKE RIGHT WHERE THE DRIVE, NOT THE DRIVEWAY, BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE DIRT DRIVEWAY ENDS ON THIS SIDE IS THE START OF THEIR PROPERTY.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY EVEN GOING TO HAVE TO PUT THE DRIVEWAY OVER A LITTLE OVER A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I THINK IT HAS TO BE LIKE FIVE FEET FROM THE EASEMENT OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT.

SO IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE TO GO OVER A LITTLE BIT MORE AND KIND OF MAKE A LIKE A U INTO OUR BACKYARD.

OKAY. SO TO KIND OF ANSWER THE QUESTION, BECAUSE THE RULES OF THE GAME KIND OF CHANGED IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO RESTORE IT, BUT THEY PULL A PERMIT TO PUT IN A DRIVEWAY, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY SUFFICE AS FAR AS THEM ALTERING THE SWALE AREA FOR NOW.

OKAY. IF THEY DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PERMIT, THAT WOULD BE A SEPARATE CASE THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO RECITE BECAUSE IT'S A SEPARATE SECTION OF THE CODE. SO THEY WERE CITED JUST FOR DRIVING OVER THE SWALE.

IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO THAT. SO IF SHE ACTUALLY PULLS A PERMIT IT GETS ISSUED THAT WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE AWAY THIS VIOLATION.

OKAY. IF THEY DON'T FULFILL IT, IT WOULD GENERATE A SECONDARY VIOLATION, WHICH WAS NOT CITED BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE TODAY.

OKAY. IS THAT THAT TRUCK BEING THERE, IS THAT A VIOLATION? IS THAT ONE OF THOSE VIOLATIONS? VIOLATION? YES.

YEAH. THAT WE'RE HERE FOR. CEASE FROM USING IT UNTIL THEY GET THEIR PERMIT OKAY.

DO YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU CAN PARK THAT TRUCK? YEAH, WE CAN PARK IT. RIGHT? THERE'S LIKE A DRESSER IN THE PICTURE. WE SOMETIMES PARK IT RIGHT THERE. BUT WE OBVIOUSLY CAN'T PARK IT ANYWHERE ELSE, SO WE SOMETIMES PARK IT THERE.

BUT WHENEVER HE HAS TO BRING A DUMPSTER TO THE BACK IS WHEN HE PARKS IT THERE.

BUT YEAH, WE WILL STOP PARKING THERE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE WE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM OR SORT OF IF WE GET A PERMIT PULLED.

YOU KNOW, I WISH, I WISH YOU WOULD HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE.

WE WOULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF YOU KNOW, WE GRANTED YOU AN EXTENSION BASED ON ONE THING AND THEN YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND HALFWAY THROUGH. YEAH. NO, I'M AWARE, I UNDERSTAND I'M NOT.

IT SOUNDS LIKE REALLY THE ISSUE IS $211. YOU FILL OUT, YOU GET THE PERMIT PAY $211.

I APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW, THE FINANCIAL SITUATION YOU'RE IN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY OF THE EXTENSION NOT BEING USED THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO.

I'M NOT REALLY INCLINED TO GIVE YOU MUCH TIME.

THAT'S FINE. CAN YOU GET THIS PERMIT APPLIED? APPLIED FOR WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. SORRY, I'M HAVING A BLANK.

TODAY'S WEDNESDAY. YEAH. YEAH, I'M SURE WE COULD.

I JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT THE WHOLE FLARE SITUATION.

GOTCHA. OKAY. LET'S DO.

THE FLARE. I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME.

SO TEN DAYS IS JUNE 20TH, BUT THAT'S A SATURDAY, SO WE'LL MAKE IT JUNE 22ND.

OKAY. THE THE TRUCKS GOT TO GO IMMEDIATELY, BUT THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THAT'LL BE A PROBLEM.

SO IF WE'LL GIVE YOU TILL JUNE 22ND, 2026 TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE.

AFTER THAT IT'LL BE A $50 A DAY FINE FOR EACH EACH DAY THAT THE VIOLATIONS CONTINUE.

OKAY. AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD IS IF WE PULL THE PERMIT, THAT MEANS THIS IS CLOSED, OR DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE PERMIT IS COMPLETELY INSPECTED AND FIGURED OUT? THIS THIS CASE WOULD CLOSE, BUT IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE PERMIT OR GET A FINAL INSPECTION, WE WOULD RECITE YOU. YEAH. FOR THE WORK WITH THE PERMIT.

OKAY. IT'S IT'S SAME CODE SECTIONS, BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT SECTION THAT YOU WEREN'T CITED FOR.

SO YEAH, NO, THAT MAKES SENSE. BUT YOU COULD BE IN JEOPARDY IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THROUGH.

OKAY. IN ANOTHER CASE. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK YOU.

THE CITY IS REQUESTING THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. FIND ALL RESPONDENTS OR CASES LISTED IN THE AUTHORIZATION TO IMPOSE FINES REPORT AND NONCOMPLIANCE FOR THE PERIOD STATED IN THE REPORT, AND IMPOSE THE FINES AS LISTED ON THE REPORT.

I FIND ALL THE RESPONDENTS LISTED ON THE AUTHORIZATION TO IMPOSE FINES REPORT IN NONCOMPLIANCE FOR THE PERIOD STATED ON THE REPORT, AND IMPOSE THE FINES AS LISTED ON THE REPORT DATED JUNE 10TH, 2026.

[CODE COMPLIANCE LIEN REDUCTIONS]

[00:55:05]

OKAY. OKAY. CAN I START FROM THE BEGINNING? HOLD ON A SECOND.

I'M NEW TO THESE HEARINGS, TOO. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THE PROCEDURES RIGHT.

HOW DOES THE CITY USUALLY WHAT WE DO IS WE ALLOW THE PETITIONER TO ADDRESS THE MAGISTRATE AND TELL THEIR SIDE AND WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, AND THEN IT'LL COME OVER TO STAFF AND I'LL READ IN OUR RECOMMENDATION INTO THE RECORD.

AND THEN WE JUST KIND OF GO FROM THERE. OKAY.

THANK YOU FIRST. YEAH. SO THAT YOU CAN JUST DO THAT STUFF.

GREAT. THANK YOU. JUST GIVE ME ONE SECOND TO GET SITUATED HERE.

SURE.

OKAY, SIR. ALL RIGHT. SIR. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

I'M SORRY. TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON. YOU START FROM THE BEGINNING. I'M FIRST. I'M VERY HARD OF HEARING. I WAS AN ARMY TANKER.

I HEAR, I HEAR VERY LITTLE. I'LL MOVE CLOSER TO THE MIC THEN.

OKAY. MY PROBLEM STARTED PROBABLY ABOUT 2013.

I DECIDED TO START A LAWN BUSINESS. BECAME THE CITY.

GOT A PERMIT OR LICENSE TO HAVE A LAWN BUSINESS? I FIND A SHED AT A YARD SALE. I PURCHASED A SHED FOR $500.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SHED. BIG. I GET IT DELIVERED BY A WRECKER SERVICE WITH A FLATBED.

EVERYTHING GOES ALONG FINE. I'M RUNNING MY LAWN BUSINESS OFF MY LOT.

DIDN'T KNOW THAT I COULDN'T DO THAT, REALLY. I JUST AND I KNOW IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE IN THAT.

MEANTIME, A GUY DOWN AROUND THE CORNER FROM ME, CARL, DECIDES TO PUT HIS HOUSE UP FOR SALE.

CARL ASKS OVER $100,000 MORE THAN THE HOUSE WAS WORTH.

SO WHEN THE HOUSE DOESN'T SELL. HE BLAMES IT ON ME RUNNING MY BUSINESS OUT OF THERE.

AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, HE STARTED AND I WANT TO SAY HER NAME WAS FRANGELICO OR ANGELICA MARTINEZ CAME TO MY HOUSE, CITES ME FOR THE SHED, AND WHAT SHE CALLED DEBRIS WAS ACTUALLY A COUPLE OF TRAILERS THAT I WAS USING TO RUN THE BUSINESS.

SO I IMMEDIATELY GOT ON THE INTERNET AND TO SEE WHAT I HAD TO DO IN ORDER TO BECOME COMPLIANT WITH THIS, BECAUSE SHE WAS REALLY WRITING ME FOR THE SHED.

SO I FIND OUT THAT I'VE GOT TO PULL A SURVEY ON THE LOT.

AND I DID THAT, AND I HAVE A COPY OF THAT SURVEY THAT I HAD DONE BACK THEN.

I MEAN, AND THEN I FIND OUT THE SHEDS GOT TO GO TO ENGINEERING.

WELL, BY THE TIME I FIND THAT OUT AND AND GET IN TOUCH WITH AN ENGINEER, THEY'RE LIKE $2,300, $2,000 TO DO AN ENGINEER'S DRAWING OF THE SHED.

I SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS ISN'T WORTH IT TO ME.

I GET RID OF THE SHED IN THE MEANTIME. THE CITY OF PALM BAY HAS ME COME HERE FOR A MEETING WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER, AND VALERIE STURGIS. AND I KNOW SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER BECAUSE I'VE TALKED TO HER.

SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER THE MEETING. NEITHER DOES LISA MORRELL AND I.

THE ONLY ONE I HAVEN'T TOLD. NO ONE REMEMBERS THE MEETING.

IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE. BUT I SWEAR ON EVERYTHING HOLY THAT MEETING HAPPENED AND WE ARE NOT ARGUED BUT DEBATED BACK AND FORTH ABOUT. THEY WANTED ME TO PAY. AND THIS IS ALL WITHIN MONTHS TIME, NOT YEARS.

THEY WANTED ME TO PAY $13,000 IN FINES AT THE TIME, AND I.

AND TO ME, I JUST THOUGHT, AND I REALLY I KNEW NOTHING OF THIS, THAT THEY WERE RACKING THE FINE ON ME BECAUSE I'D ALREADY GOTTEN RID OF THE SHED.

SO THEY COME BACK AT ME AND WE ARE AND GO BACK AND FORTH.

AND I SAID, I'M NOT PAYING $13,000. THEN THEY COME TO SAY, SAY, LOOK, HOW ABOUT HOW ABOUT YOU GIVE US $1,500 AND WE'LL CALL IT A DAY? I SAID, NO, YOU'RE STILL PUTTING A GUN IN MY BACK FOR MONEY THAT I DON'T FEEL I OWE YOU.

I DID WHAT I SAID I WOULD DO, AND I GOT RID OF THE SHED.

SO THE BOTTOM LINE WAS, AND I THINK HER NAME WAS MRS. SMITH, WAS THE ATTORNEY. SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, YOU'VE MISSED YOUR CALLING.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ATTORNEY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T GIVE UP.

AND AND THEY, WHEN I LEFT THERE, LEFT HERE, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I OWED NO MONEY AND THAT THE LIEN WAS THE DISMISSED. OH, I'M SORRY THAT IT WAS DISMISSED.

[01:00:04]

HOLD ON. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOU. GO AHEAD, GO AHEAD. THAT WAS WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS SOMETHING THAT I FOUND, I FOUND INTERESTING. SO WHEN, WHEN WHAT WAS THE DATE OR TIME FRAME OF WHEN THAT MEETING HAPPENED? AROUND 1828, SOMETIME IN. YEAH, I WOULD SAY IT WAS AROUND 2018.

OKAY. SO JUST JUST QUICKLY. MR.. CARL STILL HASN'T SOLD HIS HOUSE BECAUSE AGAIN, HE WAS TOO HIGH AND HE'S CALLING STILL CALLING ON ME. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

BUT SO 2018 WHEN, WHEN WERE YOU ORIGINALLY SITED? WHEN WAS I I'VE HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY. IT STOLE A LITTLE OF MY MEMORY.

AND SO I DON'T HAVE, BUT I'VE GOT PRETTY GOOD MEMORY.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN I WAS ORIGINALLY SITED, BUT THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN ABOUT SIX MONTHS TIME.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO OKAY, SO THAT MAKES SENSE.

I JUST SAID 15 BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN I STARTED THE LAWN BUSINESS.

OKAY. BUT 18 WAS WHEN YEAH, THIS IS WHEN THIS ALL STARTED, WHICH MAKES SENSE.

IT'S THE, THE, THE CASE NUMBER STARTS WITH AN 18.

OKAY. SO MARCH, MARCH. SO MARCH OF 18 YOU'RE CITED.

YOU HAVE THIS MEETING AT SOME POINT ALSO IN 2018.

AND THEN AND WHEN YOU AT THAT MEETING, THE SHED HAD BEEN REMOVED.

IS THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME. NOW HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.

GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. SO. AND IF I SEE THEM OUT AGAIN. I'M HARD OF HEARING. I UNDERSTAND. SO BEFORE YOU HAD THAT HEARING, YOU HAD REMOVED THE SHED. I AND I HAD IT REMOVED.

OKAY. AND THEN YOU HAD THIS, YOU HAD THIS MEETING AND YOU LEFT THE MEETING THINKING THAT EVERYTHING WAS RESOLVED.

OKAY. YES. AND THEN WHEN SO WHEN WAS THIS CASE ACTUALLY CLOSED OUT? BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE APPARENTLY IT'S NOT BEEN CLOSED.

AND HERE'S ANOTHER THING ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO.

WELL, HOLD HOLD ON A SECOND. OKAY. YEAH. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

ANYONE FROM THE CITY, BUT IT IS CLOSED OUT. OTHERWISE WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS THIS.

YES. THE VIOLATION WAS CLOSED OUT JANUARY 31ST OF 2019 2019.

OKAY, OKAY. OKAY. SO SO THIS IS THE TIMELINE THAT I'M THAT I'M GETTING FROM THIS.

YOU'RE CITED IN 2018. YOU BROUGHT THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE IN 2018, BUT BECAUSE OF A MISTAKE IT DIDN'T ACTUALLY GET TO THE POINT OF GETTING CLOSED OUT AND RESOLVED UNTIL 2019.

SO AND THIS IS A QUESTION FOR THE CITY. I'M LOOKING AT $15,370.66.

IS THAT THAT IS WHAT HAVE THOSE FINES BEEN ACCRUING THIS ENTIRE TIME? OR DID THEY STOP ACCRUING IN 2019 WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS CLOSED OUT? THE FINE STOPS WHEN THE PROPERTY COMES INTO COMPLIANCE, BUT BECAUSE THERE'S A LIEN, THERE IS AN INTEREST THAT ACCUMULATES.

GOTCHA. $2.64. SO SO WE'VE GOT. SO WE'VE GOT ABOUT A YEAR'S WORTH OF FINES AND THEN SEVEN YEARS OF $2.50 A DAY TACKED ON TO IT.

OKAY. CAN I JUST SAY THIS. NO. YEAH. YOU CAN, YOU CAN CONTINUE.

I JUST WANT TO. OKAY. THEN ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, A BUDDY OF MINE PARKED HIS CAMPER.

HE NEEDED IT FOR A WEEK, SOMEWHERE TO PARK. I SAID PUT IT ON MY LOT.

IT'S NOT THERE A WEEK. I GET A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM YOU ALL SAYING THAT THE CAMPER NEEDS TO GO.

I SAID, I CALLED MY BUDDY WILLY UP AND I SAID, WILLY, YOU GOT TO MOVE THE CAMPER.

AND NOTHING IN THAT LETTER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ME OWING YOU ANY MONEY AND MRS IF I THOUGHT I OWED THE CITY MONEY, WHY WOULD I CONTINUE TO PAY A MORTGAGE ON THAT LOT? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE OUTRAN THE COSTS BACK THEN. THAT LOT WASN'T WORTH THAT KIND OF MONEY.

AND I EVEN REFINANCED THAT LOT IN THIS TIME WHEN I HAD THE OPEN HEART SURGERY, I NEEDED MONEY TO PUT NEW AC IN MY HOUSE.

I WAS ABLE TO PULL $8,000 OFF OF THAT LOT, AND NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ANY LIEN ON IT.

NOW HERE WE ARE. I'M AN OLDER MAN NOW, AND I'M DOWN THE ROAD.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU ACQUIRE THINGS BECAUSE RAINY DAYS COME.

AND HERE'S MY RAINY DAY. I'VE HAD OPEN HEART.

I'M BACK TO WORK. MY LIFE'S GOOD. PRAISE GOD.

BUT I, I HAD ASSUMED I HAD A LITTLE NUGGET THAT I COULD SELL THAT LOT OFF.

AND, YOU KNOW, I COULD REST EASY A LITTLE BIT.

THE REALITY OF IT IS, IS I STILL OWE. ABOUT $18,000 ON THE LOT.

Y'ALL THINK I OWE YOU 15,000? THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR ME IN THAT LOT.

I WOULD NOT HAVE CONTINUED TO PAY ON IT ALL THESE YEARS.

AND AGAIN, WHY WOULD I GET A SURVEY DONE? AND I TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT.

AND I, YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE THAT I SPOKE TO THAT THAT WERE IN THE MEETING, I BELIEVE THEY DON'T REMEMBER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO FOR I DO THINGS FOR A LIVING TOO.

[01:05:07]

THAT I, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE, THE LIEN WAS LIFTED.

I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT IT UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. I TRIED TO SELL THE LOT.

AND MY REAL ESTATE AGENT WHO'S TRYING TO GO TO CLOSING ON THE 17TH OF THIS MONTH, SAYS YOU OWE THE CITY OF PALM BAY $15,000.

MRS. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT I OWED THAT MONEY, WE WOULD HAVE WE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS A LONG TIME AGO.

I DON'T WORK THAT WAY. I'M A BUSINESSMAN MYSELF, I BELIEVE YOU.

THANK YOU. YEAH. YOU KNOW THE PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY WAS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE IN A IN A RELATIVELY REASONABLE TIME.

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S, BUT IT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SIX MONTHS.

YEAH. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE IT WAS PROTRACTED BECAUSE THE DOCUMENTATION ESSENTIALLY WAS PROTRACTED BECAUSE OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

AND I BELIEVE YOU THAT THE MEETING OCCURRED. AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU LEFT THE MEETING THINKING THAT EVERYTHING WAS WAS COMPLETE.

I DOUBT THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT WAS SAID. THAT'S WHY I THINK IT WAS JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE I, I AGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE AGAIN, LIKE I SAID, IT'S A LONG TIME AGO AND THE SURGERY STOLE A LITTLE OF MY MEMORY, BUT I STILL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD. I'M BETTER THAN MOST.

GOTCHA. I REMEMBER THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE MEETING. I REMEMBER THE CONVERSATIONS, AND I KNOW THAT IT WENT ON LONGER THAN HE WANTED TO.

THEY WENT OUT IN THE HALL A COUPLE OF TIMES, CAME BACK IN AND TALKED WITH ME MORE.

AND I REMEMBER HIM SAYING, DROPPING IT DOWN TO 1500.

AND I STILL FELT LIKE I DIDN'T KNOW HIM THAT MUCH BECAUSE I DID, YOU KNOW, AND I AND MISS MRS MARTINEZ OR FRANCESCA OR ANGELA.

I RAN INTO HER IN THE PARKING LOT OF, OF, OF BIG LOTS IT WAS OR HARBOR FREIGHT.

AND I TOLD HER AND SHE SAID, YEAH, I WENT BY THERE.

YOU'RE IN, YOU'RE IN COMPLIANCE. AND THEN WE HAD A GUY SHOW UP AT THE HOUSE.

VERY NICE. MY WIFE SAID I DIDN'T TALK TO HIM.

BUT HE LOOKED AND SAID, YES, MA'AM, YOU'RE IN COMPLIANCE.

AND, AND WE THOUGHT WE WERE DONE. I, I, I REALLY DID.

OKAY. I, I BELIEVE THAT LET'S HEAR THE, THE, THE CITY HAS TO SAY AND THE RECOMMENDATION.

WELL, FOR THE RECORD, DENNIS CO COMPLIANCE MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY, AFTER REVIEWING THIS CASE, THE APPLICATION AND THE SEVERITY OF THE VIOLATION, A LENGTH OF TIME IT TOOK TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION, THE CITY RECOMMENDS THE FINE OF $15,370.66 BE REDUCED TO ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF $750.

SOUND GOOD? WONDERFUL. ALL RIGHT. IT'S DONE. OKAY.

SO YOU'LL DROP THE LIEN TO $700? YEAH. 757 50.

YOU JUST PAY JEANNIE, AND THEN SHE'LL RELEASE THE LIEN.

ALL RIGHT, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO. HERE'S THE THING. I DON'T HAVE $750 IF YOU PUT THE LIEN AT 750.

I'M FINE WITH THAT. IT CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF CLOSING.

I'LL SEND. SO FRANK WILL SIGN AN ORDER AND THEN I'LL SEND IT TO YOUR CLOSING COMPANY.

THEY'LL PAY US AND THEN THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING ELSE FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT. BUT THE 15,000 WILL GO AWAY. IT'LL JUST $750 IS WHAT THEY WILL PAY US.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND THEN TYPICALLY, THE MAGISTRATE WILL SET A TIME PERIOD TO PAY THE THE LIEN 30 DAYS, AND THEN YOU PAY IT WITHIN THAT TIME OR IT REVERTS BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL AMOUNT.

WHEN WHEN IS YOUR CLOSING? MY I'M CLOSING ON THE 17TH.

THE 17TH OF THIS MONTH. YES. OKAY. SO, AND FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, AGAIN, BECAUSE OF THIS, AND I HATE TO KEEP HARPING ON IT BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE AN OLD MAN, BUT BECAUSE OF THE SURGERY, I'M BEHIND ON THINGS AND I'M TRYING TO TRYING TO GET MY BIGGEST FEAR IS LEAVING MY WIFE IN A BIND.

I MEAN, I'VE HEALED WELL, BUT IT KIND OF MADE ME REALIZE THAT.

YOU COULD GO TOMORROW. YOU KNOW I GOT YOU. OKAY.

I DON'T SEE ANY REASON WHY WE HAVE TO MAKE IT A TIGHT TIMELINE.

LET'S DO 60 DAYS THIS WAY. I MEAN, THAT SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH, BECAUSE THIS WILL GET DONE THROUGH CLOSING.

SO. RIGHT. YOU KNOW, THE THE FINE WILL ACTUALLY COME OUT OF WHAT IT GETS PAID TO YOU IN THE, IN THE SALE. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. THINGS HAPPEN.

PEOPLE BACK OUT, YOU KNOW, CLOSING. IT'S NOT A DONE DEAL TILL THE, TILL IT'S SIGNED.

SO LET'S MAKE IT 60 DAYS. TO PAY TO PAY THE 750.

OTHER THAN IF, IF YOU CAN'T PAY IT WITHIN 60 DAYS AND IT HAS TO REVERT IF YOU'RE LIFTING THE 15,000, I CAN, I CAN PAY THE 750 BECAUSE I'LL CLOSE ON THE 17TH.

RIGHT. I PROMISE YOU I'LL BE HERE TILL I, I GET, I UNDERSTAND I'M JUST GIVING YOU 60 DAYS IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS.

SO THE FINE HAS TO BE PAID BY AUGUST 9TH, 2026.

OTHERWISE IT WILL REVERT TO THE 15,000. OKAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL RIGHT. AM I SAYING YOUR LAST NAME RIGHT?

[01:10:01]

I THOUGHT I HAD IT. YEAH, WELL, WE AMERICANIZED IT A LONG TIME AGO, SO I GO BY SCAGLIONE.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. CAN I GET SOMETHING IN WRITING AT ALL? YES, I WILL EMAIL IT TO YOU. OKAY. YOU HAVE MY EMAIL ADDRESS? I DO. YES. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.

OUR NEXT CASE IS CB 1931718. AND THIS IS AT 366 BERNARDINO STREET, NORTHWEST.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS BILLY BATSON. GOOD AFTERNOON.

HOW ARE YOU DOING, SIR? TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

SO I'M THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER FOR THE PROPERTY AT THREE THREE, SIX SIX FERNANDINA STREET, NORTHWEST.

WE WE HAVE A CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

WE HAVE NOT CLOSED AS OF TODAY. WE'RE SCHEDULED TO CLOSE ON, WELL, ANYTIME THIS WEEK.

KIND OF SUBJECT TO HOW THIS MEETING IS RESOLVED.

SO MY UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I'VE RECEIVED FROM THE HEIRS IS HER BROTHER WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER.

HE'S PASSED AWAY. HE'S BEEN DECEASED FOR SOME TIME NOW.

THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN VACANT, WHICH HAS REALLY DEGRADED THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY.

UPON OUR TITLE COMPANY DOING A TITLE SEARCH, THEY FOUND A CODE ENFORCEMENT LIEN THAT DATED BACK TO, I BELIEVE 2018 FOR WEEDS AND OVERGROWN YARD THAT'S RACKED UP A BILL WITH INTEREST AND THE AMOUNT OF NORTH $259,000, WHICH THE LIEN, IN ADDITION TO THE CURRENT MORTGAGE BALANCE IN WHICH THEY OWE WITH ALSO THE $117,000 RENOVATION BUDGET WE HAVE, WHAT'S THE PROPERTY WAY OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF WORK.

SO, RESPECTFULLY, WE'RE ASKING FOR A REDUCTION OF THE LIEN.

SO MY COMPANY AND I CAN COME IN THERE AND RENOVATE THIS HOME, PUT A GOOD FAMILY BACK IN THERE.

YOU KNOW, IMPROVE THE, THE VALUES IN THE MARKET OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

OKAY. AND, AND AND AN ACT OF GOOD FAITH. WE'VE ALREADY SPENT MONEY BEFORE.

WE OWN THIS PROPERTY TO BRING THE PROPERTY BACK IN COMPLIANCE LAST WEEK. OH, SO YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON IT? NO, JUST TO BRING IT BACK INTO COMPLIANCE TO SHOW THE COUNTY OR THE CITY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WE HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS ON, ON GETTING THIS BACK.

SO, SO YES, NO WORK OTHER THAN WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO BRING, WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE? WE HAD TO MOW THE YARD. THERE WAS A SIX FOOT VEGETATION IN THE BACK OF THE YARD.

THE POOL SCREEN WAS COVERED IN VINES AND WEEDS.

THERE WAS A LAWNMOWER, SOME THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE MOVED OFF THE PROPERTY.

OKAY. AND YOU SAID THE PREVIOUS OWNER DIED OR THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS DECEASED.

IT'S GONE THROUGH PROBATE. THERE'S FOUR HEIRS, ONE OF THEM BEING SICK WITH CANCER OUT OF STATE.

THE OTHER THREE ARE ELDERLY, NOT IN THE FINANCIAL POSITION TO HANDLE THIS PROPERTY.

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. CITY HAVE YOU WANT TO GIVE ME YOUR RECOMMENDATION? YEAH. FOR THE RECORD, DENNIS BLUNT CO COMPLIANCE MANAGER.

AFTER REVIEWING THIS CASE, THE APPLICATION SEVERITY OF THE VIOLATION AND LENGTH OF TIME IT TOOK TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION, THE CITY RECOMMENDS THE FINE OF $260,000 AND $9, AND $0.01 BE REDUCED TO $29,300, AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE COST OF $750, FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $30,050.

THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 12% OF THE ORIGINAL FINE.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO. 29 I'M SORRY, CAN YOU SAY THAT NUMBER AGAIN? THE TOTAL REDUCTION IS $30,050 FROM $260,009.01.

OKAY.

I THINK. I THINK I'M INCLINED TO GO TO GO LOWER THAN THAT.

THAT'S DEFINITELY YOUR PREROGATIVE. THAT'S JUST OUR RECOMMENDATION.

AND AGAIN, IT'S BASED ON THE LENGTH OF TIME, THE SEVEN YEARS PLUS THE SEVERITY.

PROPERTY OWNER WAS PROPERLY NOTICED. STUFF HAPPENED IN BETWEEN DURING THAT SEVEN YEARS, BUT THAT'S HOW WE BASE IT.

BUT IT'S DEFINITELY YOUR PREROGATIVE TO REDUCE IT TO WHAT YOU THINK.

I UNDERSTAND. YEAH. I MEAN, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WERE SOME, SOME UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT LED TO THE PROPERTY ENDING UP IN THIS POSITION.

AND I MEAN, YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS DIDN'T DO IT. YOU'RE OFFERING TO COME IN AND TAKE WHAT I GUESS WHAT I'M ASSUMING IS A BLIGHT ON THE COMMUNITY AT THIS POINT.

YES, SIR. I HAVE SOME PHOTOS IF YOU'RE JUST CURIOUS TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THIS PLACE.

YEAH, ACTUALLY, I WOULD BE CURIOUS.

[01:15:04]

OKAY. THAT LOOKS BAD. YEAH. IT'S ROUGH.

HAVE THERE BEEN SQUATTERS IN THIS HOUSE? SO NOT TO OUR UNDERSTANDING.

I BELIEVE THAT'S JUST SINCE THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS PASSED.

YOU CAN SEE THE RODENTS AND THE THINGS THAT HAVE, YOU KNOW, SEEM TO HAVE MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE PROPERTY TO CAUSE SOME MORE DAMAGE.

SO OUR GOAL IS TO, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, GET THIS CLOSED.

WE'RE HOPING BY FRIDAY TO IMMEDIATELY, YOU KNOW, GET THIS THING RECTIFIED AND CLEANED UP.

BUT THERE WAS OPENINGS IN THE HOUSE, SO ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE.

YEAH. YES. WHAT KIND OF KIND OF BUDGET ARE YOU WORKING WITH? SO OUR CONTRACTOR PURCHASE PRICE IS 230,000, WHICH I HAVE A COPY HERE AS WELL.

OUR CONTRACTOR HAD QUOTED US TO DO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ABOUT 117,000.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS. WE CAN DO A LOT OF WORK OURSELVES.

SO WE'RE HOPING TO, YOU KNOW, SLICE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THAT DOWN TO MAKE THE PROJECT WORTHY OF COMPLETING.

OKAY. AT ONE.

AT 130. IS IT DOES THE MATH STILL WORK FOR YOU? I'M SORRY. AT ONE AT 130 FOR YOUR BUDGET. DOES THE MATH STILL WORK FOR YOU TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY? IT'S EXTREMELY TIGHT FOR US. OKAY. WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME A NUMBER? THE BUDGET THAT WE WERE IN WAS, YOU KNOW, ROUGHLY AROUND $2,000.

OH. I'M NOT. I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN, LIKE, 130 FOR THE FINE.

I'M IN, LIKE, 130 TOTAL BUDGET. YEAH. IT STILL MAKES IT EXTREMELY TIGHT WITH US PAYING THE THE PROPERTY'S CURRENT MORTGAGE OFF THE SELLER'S CLOSING COSTS TAXES, ESCROW, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE FUTURE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AS WELL AS FEES THAT WILL INCUR.

OKAY. WHAT ABOUT A $3,000 WOULD THAT CAN YOU DO $3,000? YES, SIR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

I'M GOING TO REDUCE THE LIEN TO $3,000 PLUS ADMINISTRATIVE FEES OF 750.

SOUND GOOD? YES, SIR. THANK YOU. AND JUST A TIMELINE.

THE 30 DAYS OR CAN YOU GUYS DO 30 DAYS? YES. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

SO THE FINE WILL BE $3,000 PLUS 750 FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEES PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS, WHICH IS JULY 10TH, 2026. IF IT'S NOT PAID BY THEN, THEN IT'LL REVERT TO THE CURRENT $260,000.

YES, SIR. THANK YOU ALL. THANKS. OKAY.

DO YOU WANT YOUR PICTURES BACK, OR. YEAH. THANKS.

AND THEN WE CAN ADJOURN. I HAVE NO FURTHER BUSINESS.

OKAY, THEN. WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS, WE WILL ADJOURN AT 230.

THE NEXT HEARING IS JULY 8TH, 2026.
