blockages within the sewer lateral are
included in this obligation.
Code Officer Cain reported this case had originated from a citizen's complaint. An inspection
took place on August 29, 2006. The owner is Bakers Dozen, Inc., 332 Rio Villa Boulevard,
Indialantic, Florida 32903-3712. In the initial written notice, the owner was given 10 days to
comply. Proof of service was through certified mail and the card was signed on September 18,
2006. A safety issue was involved, and the City recommended the maximum fine allowed by
statute.
Mike Sirounis, Bakers Dozen, Inc., 116 Island View Drive, Indian Harbor Beach,
Florida, pled no contest. He explained he had owned the property for 20-25 years and the
drain field needed repair. He was advised at the time that due to having a pizza operation on
the property, he had to do a sewer connection and put in a lift station. He agreed to do that,
realizing it would cost him between $30-35K. He began the process September 13, 2005. He
availed himself of the services of an engineer to prepare drawings and submitted them to the
Health Department of Palm Beach County on April 4, 2006. He received a permit from the
Health Department on May 9, 2006 and entered into a contract with a firm who would do the
work. He met with Brent Allen, Supervisor of Inspections in the Boynton Beach Utilities
Department. Mr. Allen was satisfied with Mr. Sirounis' plans and advised him to go ahead and
start doing the work. Mr. Sirounis ordered the equipment and spent about $20K. He then found
out he needed to obtain a permit from the City. He began a process that had taken him a
considerable time. He observed that "one hand did not seem to know what the other hand was
doing" in reference to the Building Department. On the day of this meeting, he had met with
everybody in the Building Department concerned with obtaining permits. He expected the
Building Department would be issuing his permit in a day or so. He thought the lift station work
could be completed in 30-45 days.
Chair Costantino asked Code Officer Cain why the City was recommending the maximum
allowable fine. Mr. Cain responded there was a safety hazard with raw sewage lying on the
ground to the rear of the store. It could be smelled when approaching the front of the store.
Mr. Cain showed pictures to the Respondent and the board.
Mr. Sirounis did not deny the problem, although he characterized it as runoff water from the
septic and grease tanks, and not raw sewage. He noted the sewage was coming from the Stop
N' Go convenience store, but the facilities were only used by the owner and a few employees.
He was concerned about putting two tenants out of business if they were issued a Cease and
Desist Order. The Health Department was aware of it, he said, and had not cited him for it. He
was doing his best to alleviate the problem, including having the grease and septic tanks
pumped out to minimize it while he proceeded with the required paperwork to get the work
done.
The discussion centered on when Mr. Sirounis became aware of the problem and when the City
became aware of the problem. The City had not been aware of it until the citizen's compliant
on August 29, 2006. Mr. Sirounis avowed he had not had this problem until he hooked up to the
sewer in 2005. Due to the hurricanes, the drain field collapsed and the problem became
apparent. Mr. Sirounis did not believe the problem had really started until August when Mr. Cain
contacted him about it.

The board believed Mr. Sirounis should have called the City at that time and that he should
have known a permit would be required to tap into the City's sewer system. Mr. Sirounis
maintained he was following what he thought was an approval of his plans from a
representative of the City, Mr. Brent Allen in the Utilities Department. Mr. Foot inquired when
Mr. Sirounis had been advised he would need a permit from the City for his lift station. Mr.
Sirounis noted it was September of 2005, because that was when he started with an engineer.
He asked the City whom they would recommend to do this and they gave him some names.
Chair Costantino explained the board's concern was for the raw sewage that was hazardous to
public health.
Attorney Tolces advised $lK was the maximum fine allowable by statute for a first violation. He
commented it was not a case of doing work without a permit, but of open sewage, and Mr.
Sirounis had explained the steps he had taken to alleviate the problem.
Mr. Blasie gave the board some background about the case. He reiterated Mr. Sirounis'
contention that the open sewage had not been a problem in 2005. Mr. Sirounis was just trying
to modernize and he was probably the only business owner in Boynton Beach who had a drain
field. He wanted the board to realize that Mr. Sirounis had started the process before the open
sewage appeared and before Code got involved. Mr. Blasie asked Mr. Sirounis if he had made
inquiries about what could be done as a temporary, intermediate remedy. Mr. Sirounis
mentioned he had pumped the grease trap numerous times to minimize the situation.
Mr. Foot believed that a temporary containerization process should be instituted until the area
was made safe for the City while the permitting process and installation process was
proceeding.
Mr. Cain mentioned he had spoken to the Health Department the previous week and they were
to go out to the property and inspect it, but he had not heard back from them to date.
Vice Chair Yerzy inquired what was causing the odor problem, and Mr. Sirounis replied,
"standing water."
Mr. Foot expressed concern about the employees of the pizza store tracking in water from
outside that would not be considered water that could be used for bathing or drinking. He
thought that was an unsanitary situation. Mr. Sirounis countered that the Health Department
inspected the premises regularly.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-2187, Vice Chair Yerzy moved that a
Cease and Desist Order be issued giving Bakers Dozen, Inc. until November 2, 2006 to bring
the violation of City of Boynton Beach Code Section as cited into compliance. The board had
considered the gravity of the violation, the actions taken by the Respondent, and any previous
violations by the Respondent, and hereby ordered that a fine in the amount of $500 per
reoccurrence of the violation thereafter shall be imposed upon the Respondent. Mr. Foot
seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-1, Ms. Carroll dissenting.

Case #06-1854
Property Address:
Violation(s):
George Carlucci & Sean Ross
212 S.E. 1st Avenue
10-2 BBC or Ordinances; BBA FBC '05
105.1.1
Mow overgrown yard. Permit required
for new window installation.
Code Inspector Guillaume reported the case had resulted from a routine inspection of the
neighborhood on July 18, 2006. A written notice gave the owners 10 days in which to comply.
Proof of service was obtained by posting the property on October 2, 2006. Mr. Guillaume
advised the violation for the yard had been resolved. Mr. Guillaume presented the City's case,
showing pictures to Mr. Ross and to the board.
Sean Ross, 210 Northwest 1st Avenue, Boynton Beach, 33435, pled not guilty. When
asked by Chair Costantino why he had not obtained a permit, Mr. Ross replied that after
Hurricane Wilma, he had to replace the windows since they were of the older, jalousie type,
and the dwelling had sustained considerable water intrusion damage.
Ms. Cook inquired whether he had gone to the City about a permit. Mr. Ross had not been able
to find anything in the Code stating he needed to have a permit for replacing windows. Ms.
Cook pointed out the Code did address it, specifically. Mr. Ross explained the house had been
under contract of sale at the time.
Attorney Tolces asked Mr. Ross if he had proof of sale of the property. Mr. Ross showed a
document to Attorney TOlces, but it was not a deed. He stated he did not have the deed, but
the records of the Palm Beach County Appraiser's Office would show that he had sold the
property. Attorney Tolces' recommendation, based upon Mr. Ross' sworn testimony, was to
table this case until the next Code Compliance Board meeting to allow time to verify ownership
of the property. It might be necessary to close this case and cite the new owner.
Mr. Ross did not believe it was necessary to delay the case. He was a licensed contractor and
believed he was acting under the Governor's order that homeowners could make emergency
repairs to their properties as needed. He did not address anything structural. He simply popped
in Home Depot windows. Attorney Tolces advised homeowners were still required to obtain an
owner/bUilder permit before making emergency repairs. Chair Costantino noted emergency
repairs in this case would have been putting plywood over the windows and securing the
property. She commented that as a contractor, Mr. Ross should have known better.
Motion
Ms. Carroll moved to table Case #06-1854 until the Code Compliance Board meeting on
November 15, 2006. Mr. Foot seconded the motion that passed unanimously.

October 18, 2006
Code Inspector Guillaume reported the case originated from a citizen's complaint. The initial
inspection took place on August 22, 2006. The written notice issued on August 22, 2006 gave
the owner 10 days in which to comply with Code. Proof of service was obtained by certified
mail.
Dean Hillman, 306 S.W. 13th Avenue, Boynton Beach, appeared on behalf of the Turners,
who were his in-laws. He confirmed they were aware of his presence at this hearing and that
they were ill. He pled no contest on their behalf. He was trying to obtain a copy of the original
survey, which had been misplaced by his in-laws.
Ms. Cook thought sixty days would be required to obtain a survey and that engineering for the
shed would take some time.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-2147, Ms. Cook moved that this
board find that Bernard E. and Gloria P. Turner were in violation of City of Boynton Beach Code
sections as cited, and moved to order that the Respondents correct the violations on or before
December 17, 2006. The board had considered the gravity of the violations, the actions taken
by the Respondents, and any previous violations by Respondents and hereby ordered that if the
Respondents did not comply with this Order, a fine in the amount of $25 per day for each day
the violations continued past December 17, 2006 plus administrative costs would be imposed.
The Respondents were further ordered to contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance
Division in order to arrange for re-inspection of the property to verify compliance with this
Order. Vice Chair Yerzy seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
Ms. Carroll suggested Mr. Hillman might be able to obtain a copy of the original survey from the
County.
Case #06-2153
Property Address:
Violation(s):
Yonel Alliancin
126 S.E. 31st Avenue
CH15-ART.IX-15-120 (D) .INC
All auto parts must be taken out of the
front yard along with unregistered and
inoperable vehicle.
Sr. Code Officer Vestiguerne Pierre reported on the details of this case. He showed pictures to
Mr. Barthelus and the board.
Odner Barthelus, 126 S.E. 31st Avenue, Boynton Beach, appeared on behalf of his
brother, Yonel Alliancin, and pled no contest. He explained the vehicle was being shipped to
Haiti on the Saturday following this meeting.
Mr. Foot asked about the note in the agenda about Mr. Alliancin being a repeat violator. Mr.
Pierre commented he had been cited before but the violation was different, although it was on
the same property. The first violation was for tires in the back yard the previous year.
Chair Costantino asked if Mr. Alliancin was in the habit of storing things to be sent to Haiti. Mr.
Pierre mentioned the tire incident again and stated this time there was also a transmission.

October 18, 2006
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-2153, Ms. Carroll moved a Cease and
Desist Order be issued giving Yonel Alliancin until October 28, 2006 to bring the violations of
City of Boynton Beach Code Sections as cited into compliance. The board had considered the
gravity of the violations, the actions taken by the Respondent, and any previous violations by
the Respondent, and hereby ordered that a fine in the amount of $250 per reoccurrence of the
violation thereafter would be imposed upon the Respondent. Mr. Foot seconded the motion that
passed unanimously.
Case #06-1887
Property Address:
Violation(s):
Morris and Shirley Kronzek
2615 N.E. 1st Court, Apt. 309
BBA FBC '05105.1.1
Permit required for structural,
electrical and plumbing work done on
property. Four times the fee will apply.
Sr. Code Officer Webb indicated the initial inspection was accomplished on July 20, 2006. Proof
of service was obtained by certified mail. The property was located in Village Royale on the
Green, a multi-family complex.
Shirley Kronzek, 2615 N.E. 1st Court, Apt. 309, Boynton Beach, pled not guilty.
Mr. Webb reported the case had come to the Code Compliance Department from the
Community Improvement Division. The Code Compliance Department got involved after the
fact. A contractor had done some work in Mr. and Mrs. Kronzek's apartment and it was not
known whether he was licensed or not. A contractor was needed to finish the work and undo
some of the things the other contractor did in the apartment. He believed the Kronzeks had a
new contractor lined up, but they needed time to obtain a permit.
Ms. Kronzek did not believe she and her husband had any more to do on this matter. Her
contractor was licensed and she had the permit number under which he had done the work. In
discussion, this turned out to be a demolition permit, and not a permit for the extra work the
contractor had done in the Kronzek's unit. Ms. Kronzek explained they had been unable to live
in their apartment since Hurricane Jean, when their apartment had been 100% destroyed. The
complex had hired Signature Restoration to do the necessary work, such as tearing out the
walls. During the time they were unable to occupy their dwelling, a sign stated, "DO NOT
ENTER APARTMENTS." The sign listed each apartment that had been 100% destroyed. They
were not able to go past the sign to determine what was being done. They had signed a
contract with the contractor to do a little bit of extra work in the apartment. The signed
contract stated the contractor was responsible for securing permits and they relied on this being
done. It was not their fault, she said, that the contractor did not do that. This only came to light
when the Kronzeks called the City to complain about some of the bad things the contractor had
done in their apartment. The contractor had done similar things in several other apartments at
her complex.
Chair Costantino asked if the Kronzeks had paid the contractor and they had. Chair Costantino
indicated the board had heard many such cases, where nice people like the Kronzeks had
gotten into agreements with contractors who did not follow through on their responsibility of
getting permits. However, it was the responsibility of the owners to make sure the permits had

been obtained. A telephone call to the Building Department would have verified this. Ms.
Kronzek did not believe the Code Inspectors had been out to the property and if they had, she
inquired why they did not stop the contractor from working without a permit. Ms. Kronzek had
telephoned the City to inquire whether the contractor was licensed and was assured that he
was and that he had pulled a permit under this number (referring to the demolition permit). Ms.
Kronzek read the permit number as 05-0593.
Ms. Kronzek referred to the permit that allowed the contractor to demolish the walls and
reconstruct them out to the painting. Chair Costantino commented this did not cover the extra
work the Kronzeks (and others) had asked him to do. It did not cover the electrical and
plumbing the contractor was to do. Ms. Kronzek mentioned he had only put in some fixtures.
He did not change any of the plumbing. As far as electrical was concerned, he stated he had to
put in some ground fault interrupter plugs.
Ms. Cook believed that because the Kronzeks did not know they needed a permit or did not
know how to follow through to see if the contractor had obtained it, a permit was still needed
for the additional work. The board would have to give them time since the Kronzeks would have
to pull a permit themselves with a contractor. The new contractor would have to ascertain that
all work done had been done according to the Code.
Ms. Kronzek did not understand why she was being made to get a permit when the contractor
was the one who erred in not getting the permit. Also, he was still working in the City of
Boynton Beach and had done at least 10 other apartments in the same building.
Attorney Tolces addressed Ms. Kronzek, saying the Kronzeks had a contract issue with the
contractor and this was a private matter. The City could not get involved with that. The City
looked at whether or not the owner of the property had pulled the permits.
Mr. Kronzek still believed the licensed contractor should be made liable for not pulling the
permits. Attorney Tolces stated they might have the right to sue the contractor for not doing
what he was supposed to do. They would have to consult with a private attorney. Ms. Carroll
suggested the Kronzeks telephone Mary Green at the State Attorney's office in the Elder Law
Division, Crimes Against the Elderly. Mr. Blasie indicated he would provide Ms. Kronzek the
information needed to contact the Contractor's Licensing organization, which might be able to
assist her also.
Mr. Webb showed pictures to Ms. Kronzek and the board.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-1887, Mr. Foot moved that this
board find that Morris and Shirley Kronzek were in violation of City of Boynton Beach Code
sections as cited, and moved to order that the Respondents correct the violations on or before
December 17, 2006. The board had considered the gravity of the violations, the actions taken
by the Respondents, and any previous violations by Respondents and hereby ordered that if the
Respondents did not comply with this Order, a fine in the amount of $25 per day for each day
the violations continued past December 17, 2006 plus administrative costs would be imposed.
The Respondents were further ordered to contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance
Division in order to arrange for re-inspection of the property to verify compliance with this
Order. Vice Chair Yerzy seconded the motion that passed unanimously.

Case #06-1455
Iglad Norelus
1519 N.E. 1st Court
Sr. Code Officer Lewis indicated the remaining violations were the air conditioner condenser
unit, the back door, and a wall that appeared to be a former sliding glass door that had been
overlaid with stucco. He had not called for any inspection on the back door. Permits were
required. The outdoor stored fencing had to be removed, along with trash and debris. The
initial notice of violation was issued on June 8, 2006 for violations of the Community
Appearance and Building Codes. A Code Compliance Board hearing was held on July 19, 2006
and no one appeared. The board set a compliance date of August 18, 2006 and proposed a fine
for non-compliance of $75 per day. Mr. Lewis mentioned he did have a permit in Plans Review
for a revision for the fencing, but no inspections. He had a Plans Check Review permit for three
openings, 10 shutters, and a door. No permit had been issued on application 06-6398.
Iglad Norelus, 1519 N.E. 1st Court, Boynton Beach, stated he had a premature infant in
the hospital and had given that matter priority. He could not call an inspector for the fence
because the work had not been done yet. He thought he had six months to complete the fence,
although he knew he could call for an inspection earlier than that. He had a revision in the
permit and submitted a permit application again to get an aluminum fence. He had comments
on the permit for the windows and the back door. He called Miami Products to fax him copies of
the product approval for the back and front doors. They faxed him the wrong one and the
Building Department called him to tell him he had comments on his permit. He came and they
would not explain what the problem was and charged him a $50.00 fee for the second set of
comments. He disagreed with them. They required him in the first comments to get accordion
shutters and once they showed him the Code section that covered this, he agreed with them.
He told them they should have called him before he submitted the permit to get the accordion
shutters. He still did not have a permit.
Code Officer Lewis did not think the City was on the same page with Mr. Norelus. It appeared
he was trying to get permits for things he thought would take care of the violations. The
applications he had in Plans Review would not take care of the structural violation for the wall
that was blocked in before he purchased the property. There was also nothing in Plans Review
for the air condenser unit.
Mr. Norelus declared he had called two different air conditioning companies, but he could not
find anyone who could do it in less than a month.
In discussion, Ms. Cook commented if the board gave Mr. Norelus 30 days on these violations,
they would expect that by that time, he would have come to the City and would understand the
exact type and number of permits that were required. Mr. Norelus was advised the $75 per day
fine was still running.
Motion
Mr. Foot moved Case #06-1455 be tabled until November 15, 2006. Ms. Carroll seconded the
motion that passed 5-1, Chair Costantino dissenting.

Case #06-409
Claudio Gelis and
Elena Plaza
728 N.E. 8th Avenue
Sr. Code Officer Melillo reported the notice of violation had been issued on February 28, 2006
for an occupational license for single-family rental. A Code Compliance hearing was held on May
17, 2006 and no one appeared. The board set a compliance date of May 17, 2006 and
proposed a fine of $25 per day for non-compliance. The property came into compliance on
October 18, 2006. He now had the occupational license and an on-site inspection had taken
place on the day of the meeting.
Claudio Gelis, 2802 S.W. 4th Street, Boynton Beach, appeared.
Chair Costantino asked Mr. Gelis why he had not gotten the occupational license earlier.
Mr. Gelis stated he had paid for the license when the City asked that it be paid, but they never
issued the license because there were too many people living on the premises. The dwelling
had three bedrooms and he expected six people to live in it when actually, 10 people were
living in it. The 10 people were now out of the house and he had repair costs of $4K for new
carpet, painting, and appliances.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-409, Mr. Foot moved that this
board find that the Respondents, Claudio Gelis and Elena Plaza, were in violation of the City of
Boynton Beach Code Sections as cited, subsequent to the date of compliance specified in this
board's Order of May 17, 2006, and in consideration of the gravity of the violations, the actions
taken by the Respondents to remedy the violations, and previous violations of the Respondents,
that this board impose and certify a fine in the amount of $768.24 including administrative
costs. Vice Chair Yerzy seconded the motion that passed unanimously.
Mr. Gelis expressed disbelief about having to pay a fine. Mr. Blasie explained the fine had been
certified and if it were not paid, a lien would be placed on the property. Chair Costantino
reiterated the case had been closed, when Mr. Gelis was reluctant to leave the podium.
Case #06-971
Josephine Daffin
315 N.W. 10th Avenue
Sr. Code & Rehab Officer Roy reported the notice of violation had been issued on April 12, 2006
for repairs needed on the inside of the dwelling and for too many occupants residing in the
structure. He noted the latter was no longer a violation. A Code Compliance hearing was held
on June 21, 2006 and Ms. Daffin appeared. The board set a compliance date of September 19,
2006 and proposed a fine of $1 per day for non-compliance. The violations still existed.
Josephine Daffin, 315 N.W. 10th Avenue, Boynton Beach, appeared. She advised her
sister and her family had moved out of the house. She was in the process of refinancing the
house to get enough money to get the kitchen repaired, for which she had a contract with BJ's.
Chair Costantino inquired about a timetable. Ms. Daffin responded the plans for the kitchen
work had been messed up and a manager at BJ's had to intervene, so it could take two or three
weeks to straighten it out. She had moved the vehicle as requested. Her vehicle was operable,
but she had to replace a stolen tag. Chair Costantino asked if the work BJ's would do would

include the windows and doors, and Ms. Daffin responded she needed to refinance to be able to
afford to do all the required work. She was doing the best she could. She did not want to sell
the house. An appraiser had come to her house on the day of the meeting but could not
appraise the house since plywood was up from the last hurricane. Ms. Daffin was now residing
in the property.
Chair Costantino noted if they certified the fine, Ms. Daffin would not be able to refinance the
house and get the money she needed to fix it up.

Ms. Cook moved to table Case #06-971 until November 15, 2006. Ms. Carroll seconded the

no contest. He had paid for the occupational license and needed an inspection. To his
knowledge, that was all that was outstanding. Code Officer Pierre confirmed that was the case.
Mr. Foot inquired about the triplex conversion, and Mr. Pierre thought Mr. Bartlett planned to
return the duplex to its original state.
Mr. Bartlett commented there was some semblance of a triplex because there were three front
doors, although strictly speaking, it was not a triplex. One of the rooms was rented out. The
building was designed that way so if one of the rooms were rented out, a duplex would still
remain and one additional person could have access to the property. He expected to be able to
remove the existing tenants in two or three weeks' time, one month at the most.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-1482, Vice Chair Yerzy moved that
this board find that Gordon Bartlett was in violation of the City of Boynton Beach Code Sections
as cited, and moved to order that the Respondent correct the violations on or before November
17, 2006. The board considered the gravity of the violations, the actions taken by the
Respondent, and any previous violations by Respondent, and hereby ordered that if the
Respondent did not comply with this Order, a fine in the amount of $25 per day for each day
the violations continued past November 17, 2006 plus administrative costs would be imposed.
The Respondent was further ordered to contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance

Remove all unlicensed and inoperable
vehicles from yard. OCCupational
license required for rental of house.
Sr. Code Officer Webb reported this was a single-family, homesteaded dwelling. A written
notice was issued on August 1, 2006, giving 10 days for compliance. Proof of service was
obtained by posting the property on October 2, 2006 when certified mail was not returned.
Rosalind Morton, 2321 N.W. 1st Street, Boynton Beach, declared she was not residing at
the house and pled not guilty. She declared Mr. Webb had come into her yard and told her he
would be issuing a violation to her for lack of an occupational license to rent a single-family
dwelling. She declared the family in residence when Mr. Webb first came to her property had
moved out, because they had not paid rent. A cousin was staying at the property now in
exchange for work on the yard. In discussion, it came out that this individual was also paying
the utilities for the property. Attorney Tolces advised receiving services in lieu of rent could be
considered as a form of rent.
Mr. Webb declared he had not informed Ms. Morton that he would be issuing a violation, but
that he had already issued a violation for not having an occupational license to rent private
property .
Ms. Morton understood that she needed an occupational license, but some repairs would be
needed first. The board felt if she were given a short period of time in which to comply, she
could apply for the license, have an inspection, and be made aware of exactly what needed to
be done in order to pass the inspection for the occupational license. Mr. Morton confirmed with
the board that the 30 days would be to apply for the license and not to come into compliance
on everything that needed to be done.

was further ordered to contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance Division in order to
