Inspector Lewis reported that this was the same property and owner as the previous
case. The notice of violation was issued September 10, 2003. The City recommended
15 days.
Mr. Foot questioned again whether this amount of work could be done in such a short
period of time. Inspector Lewis reiterated that Mr. Miller had received the City's letters
on the subject but had made no contact with the City. There are tenants living in the
property in unsafe conditions. It is a single family home that has been turned into a
duplex. Mr. Foot wondered if it should be a Cease and Desist Order instead.

Property Address:
Violation(s):
3oseph A..lean
141 S.E. 13th Avenue
106.1 FBC '01 ED BBA; 10-3 BBC of
ORD.
Remove loose and rotten wood
from property since it is a hurricane
hazard. Also, permit required for
room enclosure on rear of property.
Inspector Cain reported that the notice of violation had been on September 4, 2003 for
violations of the Florida Building Code. The loose and rotting wood on the property
constitutes a hurricane hazard. A permit is required for a room enclosure on the rear of
the property. The violation was discovered through a referral from the Building
Division. The original complaint was that too many people live at the residence and that
a duplex was made out of a single-family residence. Service was accomplished by hand-
carry.
Since Mr..lean spoke primarily Creole, Inspector Pierre translated his remarks.
3oseph A. 3ean, 141 S.E 13th Avenue, Boynton Beach, pled no contest. He stated
that the room enclosure had been there when he purchased the house and he did not
feel he should be held responsible for that. ~[n regard to the occupational license for
renting rooms, Mr. Jean initially said they were like family, but further discussion
revealed that he did not live at this address.
Tnspector Cain expressed a preference to proceed with this case and once he was able
to obtain access to the property, he would tell Mr. Jean what had to be done. He will
process a citation for the occupational license at that time.
Chair DeLiso advised Mr. Jean that the partition between the two "units" had to be
taken down. Attorney Tolces advised Mr. Jean that although he had recourse from the
people he bought the house from or the title insurance company, he was responsible as
the owner to see that the house meets Code.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 03-2496, Mr. Foot moved
that this Board find that Joseph A. Jean is in violation of the City of Boynton Beach

Case #03-2531
Property Address:
Violation(s):
Guilbert & Denise Abelard
2371 N.W. Ist Street
CHIS-ART. TX-15-120 (D) lA
Storage of unlicensed
inoperable vehicles. Loose
and debris in carport.
and
trash
Inspector Cain reported that this property had originally been cited on September 10,
2003. The violation was discovered through a routine inspection of the neighborhood.
Service was accomplished by certified mail.
Guilbert Abelard, 2371 N.W. 1~t Street, Boynton Beach, stated that he had
purchased his home in 1998 and had a grass violation and when it was not done, "they
did not say anything." Mr. Abelard did not feel he was guilty because his Jeep was in
the carport and it had plates. Chair DeLiso asked if the license plates were current and
Mr. Abelard responded that they were expired. Chair DeLiso replied that this was not
acceptable.
Inspector Cain gave pictures to the Board for their review. The pictures taken the day
of the meeting showed trash in the carport. Through the assistance of :Inspector Pierre,
it was determined that 30 days would be a fair length of time to bring the property into
compliance, although Mr. Abelard was dubious. Chair DeLiso stated that Mr. Abelard
had to either get current license tags for the vehicles or remove them. Also, he needed
to remove the loose trash.
Hotion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 03-2531, Mr. Miriana
moved that this Board find that Guilbert and Denise Abelard are in violation of the City
of Boynton Beach Code Chapter 15, Article ~-15-120 (D) .lA, and moved to order that
the Respondents correct the violations on or before November 14, 2003. The Board has

time and the Board concurred.
B) Lien Penalty Certifications, Tabled
Case #03-1160
DSS Properties
728 Casa Loma Boulevard
Inspector Cain deferred to the Building Official, Don Johnson, who reported on the
status of this case.
Don Johnson, Building Official, stated that this was the third time he had been before
the Board asking for help in the enforcement of the City's Codes and Ordinances. He
reported that Two Georges Restaurant received a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy.
The City's Ordinance specifically states that a person can get a 30-day temporary C.O.
and two 30-day extensions, for a total maximum of 90 days. Two Georges met this
limit over a year ago and there was still not a final C.O. on the Two Georges
Restaurant. The Board previously tabled this case for 30 days to give the Respondents
a chance to complete the work. As of today, the work on the additional parking lot has
not been completed. The work began and was stopped. Equipment was mobilized and
put on the site. Material was delivered to the site. The equipment was moved off site
and has not returned as of this date.
Chair DeLiso asked how long they worked on the parking lot, and Mr..~ohnson
responded that he had not been there on a daily basis and suggested that he ask the
Respondents.
Steve Skaggs and William Skaggs, Jr., 728 Casa Loma Boulevard, Boynton
Beach, co-owners of the property, stated that they had started work the day after the
last time they were before the Board. They got a letter from the contractor on
September 26. The contractor started digging the infrastructure and ran into muck. The
infrastructures cannot be installed on muck, so they had to stop the job. The
contractor sent the Skaggs a letter informing them of what they found on the site. On
that same day, Mr. Steve Skaggs called Dunkelberger Engineering, who told him they
could not get out to the site for two weeks. He engaged the services of the
geotechnical engineering firm Ardemon & Associates, who said they could do core
drillings and give Two Georges' engineers a report in three or four days. Paperwork for

all of the foregoing was available for the Board to see if they so desired, including
pictures. The Skaggs received a price from the contractor yesterday for $19,775 to
demuck the parking lot. This is in addition to the $150K to build the parking lot. They
had not stopped work arbitrarily.
Chair DeLiso asked when the muck was found. Mr. Steve Skaggs said that the muck
was found on September 26. Mr. Foot asked how it was found, and the response was
that they were digging the trenches for the infrastructure when the muck was
discovered.
Dr. Rafkin inquired whether all the work that had to be done on the parking lot had
been permitted, and the response was that it had been. Mr. William Skaggs, .lr.
commented that they had signed a contract to have the demucking done, which they
hoped to have started the day after this meeting. ~[t was completely staked out, the
structures were on site, and they were in full progress until they found out that the soil
was inadequate to build on due to the muck.
Dr. Rafkin thought that in order to move forward on this case, the Board should certify
the fine and when the job was completed, the Skaggs could come before the Board and
ask for a lien reduction.
Ms. Cook stated that she had a business in Boynton Beach also and had to renew her
occupational license in September. She could not do that until she proved that she had
a Certificate of Occupancy. She asked how Two George's were getting an occupational
license with only a temporary C.O.
Attorney Tolces administered the Oath to the Assistant Development Director, Nancy
Byrne.
Nancy Byrne, Assistant Development Director, stated that the occupational license for
Two Georges was renewed. At this point, the City would have to go through the
revocation process to pull the license back. At the time of renewal, the City was under
the impression that things were moving forward. They have consulted the City
Attorney's office about revocation of the license, but at this point were not ready to
move forward with that.
Mr. Steve Skaggs stated that throughout the entire process, they had kept the City
abreast of anything that had gone on. They had gone to Ms. Byrne's office several
times to let her know what was going on.
Mr. Foot asked Ms. Byrne and Mr. Johnson if they believed Two Georges was acting in
good faith and as quickly as they could with this complication they found. Mr..~ohnson
did not feel that they were. He had a copy of the report from Ardemon and Associates,

Code Compliance Board

October 15, 2003
which was issued on October 8, and everyone had known that it needed to be
demucked since September and yet the owners said they were waiting for the report.
The report was issued and a week had gone by. They could have mobilized in a weeks'
time very easily, depending on some of the recommendations in the report. The
engineer is only asking for them to demuck where the structures and piping will be
going. The engineer recommended demucking the whole site for future building, but
this was the owners' decision. The engineer also stated that there would be some
settling over the years and that this would become a maintenance problem, but this is a
choice Two Georges could make also. Mr. Johnson commented that this had all been
known a year ago, and that the City had been trying to work with the Two Georges for
all that time.
Mr. Steve Skaggs stated that this was not correct. The lot was originally going to be a
temporary parking lot and then the City came back and told them to build it
permanently, and they agreed to do this. :It had not been a year. At this time, they have
signed the contract to have the demucking done and could be back on track in a matter
of two weeks. The Respondents referred to the quote from the paving company, which
showed that they had just received the quote yesterday.
Mr. Rossi asked the Respondents if they were prepared to begin the work. Mr. Steve
Skaggs stated that they were going to do this by this Friday or Monday at the latest.
Mr. William Skaggs stated that the cost of the parking lot was pushing $200K. Mr.
Steve Skaggs stated that they were being charged $2,300 to remobilize the equipment.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case No. 03-1160, Dr. Rafkin moved
that this Board find that the Respondents have not complied with this Board's Order
dated February 19, 2003, and having considered the gravity of the violation, the actions
taken by the Respondents, and any and all previous violations committed by the
Respondents, that this Board impose and certify a fine in the amount of $25.00 per day
plus administrative costs which shall begin on October 15, 2003 and continue to accrue
until the Respondents come into compliance or until a judgment is entered based upon
this certification of fine. Mr. Rossi seconded the motion.
Mr. Rossi thought that the $25.00 was Iow. Mr. Foot questioned the date on which the
fine would start. He asked for and received verification from Dr. Raft(in that it was his
intention to have the fine start today, October 15, 2003. Attorney Tolces said that the
motion was to certify the fine pursuant to the Order and the Order originally proposed a
compliance date of June 20, 2003. Absent any change from that date, the fine would be
certified from June 20, 2003.
Dr. Rafkin modified his motion to state that the fine would begin as of June 20, 2003.
Mr. Rossi agreed to the modification of the motion that passed 7-0.

problem because the bankruptcy proceedings precluded it.

days a week and only has one day to work on things. He is storing bathtubs in the

Boynton Beach, Florida
October 15, 2003
Inspector Laverdure advised the Board that it had tabled the case for sixty days to
allow Mr. Francois time to sell the property. He was not issued an occupational license
because he could not pass the environmental review that he needed in order to obtain
a mechanic's license. Mr. Francois indicated that no one was currently doing any oil
changes at his property and had not done so for some time. Mr. Francois indicated that
he was only operating an upholstery business at the property.
Inspector Laverdure reported that it had been necessary for the City to keep the
Respondent from doing mechanic work approximately three weeks prior to today's
meeting.
Chair DeLiso stated that if Mr. Francois were not actually running an
automotive/mechanic's shop as he had affirmed, he would not need an environmental
review. And, Chair DeLiso did not believe that the City had produced evidence (police
report, pictures, and so forth) to show that Mr. Francois was, in fact, running such a
shop.
Mr. Francois stated that he was still trying to sell the property and hoped that the City
would bear with him for a little while longer.

and saw construction materials and debris outside and, after investigating, determined
that work was being done without a permit.
Michael Parker, 502 Sunshine Drive, Delray Beach, property manager for Ms.
Mastrioanni, stated that the building was a two-story home used as a duplex. There
were three rooms in the house that were being used as storerooms and were not being
used by any of the tenants. When he observed exposed studs with drywall propped up
against the wall in the room in question, he put up the drywall to do the insulation. He
did not know that it would be necessary to obtain a permit to put up the drywall. He
made copies of all the old permits that showed all the work that had been permitted
previously. There was already electrical in the room. He had since obtained the permits
and sent them to one of their contractors. Chair DeLiso asked him if he already had the
permit and Mr. Parker stated that he had the permit applications signed by the owner
and found a contractor who would pull a permit for the drywall. He was about to sign

up an electrical contractor to pull the permit for the electrical work. There were two
ceiling outlets put in and three wall receptacles.
Dr. Rafkin stated that a lot of people were under the impression that they could do
whatever they wanted inside their own houses without getting permits. He asked where
the line was drawn besides electrical and plumbing. Inspector Laverdure stated that one
could not put up walls without a permit. Dr. Rafkin asked if a person could move a
counter, for example, and Inspector Laverdure responded that they could not do so
without a permit if it had an electrical component.
Ms. Cook inquired whether Mr. Parker had an occupational license, and Inspector
Laverdure responded that he did not. Mr. Parker replied that he had obtained an
occupational license on the same day. i[nspector Laverdure stated that he had applied
for this but had not had a reinspection since the work was not finished. Mr. Parker
believed that he did have an occupational license. :Inspector Laverdure replied that he
had applied for it but did not have one yet. Mr. Parker stated that he had a hard copy
occupational license in his office in the file.
Chair DeLiso asked if the building were occupied and the answer was that it is occupied.
Mr. Parker indicated to Inspector Laverdure that he had come to show him the
occupational license when he obtained it. Chair DeLiso stated that an occupational
license was not the purpose of this case.

October 15, 2003
Daisy Marcellus, 2181 North Seacrest Boulevard, representing her mother, Maire
Lubin, stated that she had planted grass four or five times and it kept dying because it
was on sand. Also, there was a big truck parked where the grass was bare. She
planned to get a permit for a driveway later on. She said that her parents just came to
this country from Haiti, her grandmother was sick, and the family was on a tight
budget. She requested time to get the grass growing and/or get a permit for a
driveway.
After discussion, it was determined that the case could be tabled. It did not seem
reasonable to demand that grass be put in an area that was to be used for a driveway.

Debra Anderson, 2212 N.E. 2nd Street, Boynton Beach, stated that she had lived
at the property for two and one half years. She presented the Board with what she
believed was a deed proving that she owned the property, but it was pointed out that
the documentation was pertaining to a bankruptcy proceeding that occurred over two
years previously. Ms. Anderson stated that a new mortgage company had just bought
the contract and were going through the courts to get the proper documents. When she
had the new documents, she stated that she would be able to prove that she owned
the house.
Attorney Tolces stated that the deed Ms. Anderson presented was not recorded and he
would question whether it had conveyed any interest to the property that would be
recognized in the public records. To the extent that the City has a case against First
Nationwide, the owner of record, the Board could continue the case and ask Ms.
Anderson to come back at a later date to present proof that she owns the property, if it

he had been in an accident and was still going to the doctor. He had applied to
Community Redevelopment for assistance to bring his property into compliance but
they had asked for a lot of paperwork such as tax bills and expenses. The insurance
company had told him that there should be a settlement before Thanksgiving and when
he received it, he would be able to complete the improvements to his property. :It was
a matter of physical labor, which he was unable to do. Chair DeLiso pointed out that the
Community Redevelopment group would not be involved in physical labor but in
obtaining a grant. Chair DeLiso asked Tnspector Cain, who is a member of the Faith-
Based Community Development Corporation, if he would give Mr. Rogers his telephone
number and ask the Board at that organization whether they would be able to assist Mr.
Rogers with some physical labor to help him get the property into shape. Mr. Rogers is
physically unable to do the work, as he is elderly and recovering from the accident.
Mr. Rogers commented that he had cut a lot of the overgrowth down and had it hauled
out. [nspector Laverdure showed the Board some pictures of the property, stating that
loose debris was the main problem at this time. Chair DeLiso asked Mr. Rogers to get
the telephone number of the Faith-Based Community Development Corporation from
:Inspector Cain on his way out of the Chambers and to call them to ask for assistance.
Chair DeLiso asked ]~nspector Cain to give the Board a status report if the Faith-Based
Community Development Corporation were not able to provide help for Mr. Rogers.
