Sr. Code & Rehab Officer Roy reported that this was a single-family, non-homesteaded
dwelling. The property owner is Abbie A. Jullien, 2260 Chimney Springs Drive, IVlarietta,
Georgia. The violation was discovered by a citizen complaint. The original inspection
date was June 8, 2004. A written notice was sent certified mail on July 16, 2004 with 10
days to come into compliance. The signed copy of notice was returned on July 27,
2004. Ms. Jullien informed that tablets had been put into the pool to help purify it and
that she had a pool contractor working on getting the pump fixed.
Abbie A. 3ullien, owner of property at 171 Orange Drive, pled no contest. She
had paid a pool contractor to repair the pump but he had not yet done so. She thought
that 30 days would be sufficient time in which to have the pump repair completed.

moved that this Board find that Abbie A. Jullien is in violation of the Florida Building
Code Edition 3401.6, Chapter 15, Article IX-15-120 (D) Tnclusive of the Boynton Beach

Fire damaged house must be
secured and not occupied. Permits
must be obtained for remodeling.
Stop overcrowding this single-
family home. Remove all trash and
debris and place 4" house number
on building.
Sr. Code Officer Webb reported that this was a single-family dwelling that had suffered
extensive fire damage and was currently unoccupied. The complaint was received from
the Fire Department. The initial inspection was June 14, 2004. On .lune 14, 2004 a
written notice was sent giving 30 days to come into compliance. Certified mail went out
July 15, 2004, and the green card was returned July :[7, 2004, signed. The house fire
was under investigation by the State Fire Marshal.
Guy Estella, 126 S. Atlantic Drive West, Boynton Beach, pled no contest. He
stated that when they filed the claim with the insurance company, they were directed to
contact an adjuster as opposed to coming out to investigate and see what needed to be
fixed or what caused the fire. He was called and asked to board up the property, but
the investigation had to take place first. After the fire insurance investigation was
finished, they were allowed to Board up the house. He heard that in 200:[ when the
house first burned, an engineer went inside the house to decide whether the house was
fixable or not. The engineer told them that they needed to clean the property and
remove all the debris inside the house before he could do his assessment. He would not
be able to do the assessment if the windows were boarded up.
Chair DeLiso asked Mr. Estella the results of the State Fire Marshal's investigation. Mr.
Estella said that he was told they would need to take sand and test it because they
were not able to find out the cause of the fire. The firefighters who responded to the
fire felt that the fire had started from an electrical cause. They also stated they believed
electrical work was being done without a permit and Mr. Estella said this was not the
case.

Ms. Hammer asked how many bedrooms were in the house and how many people had
been living there. Mr. Estella responded that there were four bedrooms, two baths, and
that eight people had lived there. But, it was not occupied at present.
Mr. Foot felt that the occupational license was a moot point since it was not occupied
and there was also no overcrowding for the same reason. He thought that the properly
should be cleaned up and boarded up.
Mr. Estella stated that the property had already been cleaned up. He remarked that
there was a refrigerator with a door on the property that had to be taken away. The
Board let him know that he had to take that door off the refrigerator immediately for
the safety and welfare of the children in the neighborhood.

Arthur 3. Algonas, 75 N.E. 6th Avenue, Suite 106, Delray Beach, expressed an
objection to hearing that he had not appeared at the Code Compliance Board meeting
because he had been present, and Mr. Blasie could support that. Mr. Algonas stated
that the new owner of the property was supposed to chop down the trees and clean the
lot, but he did not finish the job. Mr. Algonas planned to handle the work himself to the
satisfaction of the Code Board, and expected to be able to do it in two weeks.
Code Officer Laverdure stated that this was a vacant lot and that Mr. Algnonas had
another vacant lot on the agenda also, both of which he had sold to the same
individual.
Mr. Foot said that he did not feel that $25 per day was enough incentive to get the
work completed. He asked if there were a way that the fine could be increased at this
time. Chair DeLiso stated that the Legal Department had advised that a fine could not
be changed once declared.
