were using the water and the washing machine in the house. The property was vacant
and Mr. Musa reported he was in a no win situation. He cut the grass and thought he
complied, but another letter arrived. He advised when the second letter arrived, that
was when he learned the violation was still active. Mr. Musa announced the property
had greened up since the rain and looks better than the other properties in that
neighborhood. He asked if Officer Pierre had photos of the property in its current state

reported he constantly removes trash and the record would confirm any violations are
addressed and called in.

Springer and Officer Melillo. Mr. Musa protested the intimation he failed to comply. He

April 16, 2007
Mr. Cook explained he did not realize he was in non-compliance. He indicated he had a
spa in his house since the 80's and he bought a new portable spa and hooked it up to
the existing electric. Since he had an ongoing permit to rebuild his home, he did not
realize he needed a permit specifically for the spa. He hired an electrical contractor to
pull a permit, and received it on the 9th. He thought he was in compliance, since the
permit he had allowed 180 days for an inspection. When he realized he was in non-
compliance, he called Officer Lewis and ripped out the spa altogether.
Officer Lewis advised anything else would be a new issue and Mr. Cook was going to be
red tagged by the Building Department the next day. The board noted the violation
would then be addressed in another forum.
The board discussed the time frame for compliance. Ms. Cook thought, depending on
how the Ordinance was interpreted, the days of non-compliance might only be six days.
Mr. Foot suggested recovering the inspections costs only, and the matter would be
readdressed by the Building Department.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #07-87, Mr. Foot moved that this
board find that the Respondent, Victor L. Cook was in violation of the City of Boynton
Beach Code Sections as cited subsequent to the date of compliance specified in the

on the property and worked hard to improve the property. Officer Pierre explained

there was a lien on the property for the carport. Both contractors indicated they were
unaware of the $100 fine per day that was accruing.
The board was only interested in the fence permit. Ms. Cook noted it did not take that
long for utility easements to be issued. The board discussed how long to allow and
decided to table the case for 30 days. It was explained if Mr. Srock would obtain a
permit, they would allow 30 days, but they must appear at the next meeting for a
status update.
Motion
Ms. Carroll moved that Case #06-3148 be tabled until the Code Compliance Board
meeting to be held on May 16, 2007. Mr. Foot seconded the motion that unanimously

Case #06-975
Nationwide Assets Inc.
Lots bordered by
SW 1st Ave SW
2nd Ave & 3rd St
Officer Webb presented the case and reviewed the details of the violations. There was a
Cease and Desist Order on the property, which imposed $100 per occurrence of the
violation.
Mr. Moyer returned to the dais at 8:48 pm.
David Edery, 2234 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton, explained he was out of town
often and relied on other individuals to maintain the property, which he thought was in
compliance. Officer Webb distributed photographs to the board, which showed it was
not. Additionally, the respondent explained the debris was not his, it was debris
dumped on his lots. It was noted the property had been greatly improved, but was still
not up to Code. The property was going to be developed and seven other homes would
be constructed. The Respondent said the cited materials were not his and the property
was a construction site.
The board discussed whether it had to release the current Cease and Desist Order.
Attorney Tolces responded they did not; the Order could remain. The board could
certify another fine and if it happened again, another fine could be certified. He
explained they could have multiple liens on the property. Last month, the board
certified a fine for 21 days and the board could now certify another 25 days.

Officer Lewis explained he happened to pass by the site and saw a pile of block on
another street with a construction vehicle picking up blocks. Mr. Edery explained his
crew was cleaning up; some of his homes were completed and they did not need the
blocks.
Mr. Edery commented he would consider installing a fence. There was board discussion
the Order was imposed in June of 2006 and several months passed by without
violations. Attorney Tolces explained the debris was not the issue, only that the
violation reoccurred and presently exists. He stressed Mr. Edery needed to do
something to address the matter, which would relieve Officer Webb from having to
report back to the board that there was a violation of the Cease and Desist Order. Each
day the violation continued was a new occurrence. The board had to decide whether to
certify a fine for the 25 occurrences Officer Webb testified to.
The board emphasized the Respondent should advise his partners there was a lien on
the property and they further thought putting up a fence would alleviate the violation.
Mr. Foot noted the previous Order imposed by the board did not include administrative
costs, but in March the board included administrative costs. He requested clarification.
Attorney Tolces advised the standard Order included administrative costs and a Cease
and Desist Order could also include administrative costs.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #06-975, Mr. Foot moved that
this board find that the Nationwide Assets Inc. is in violation of the City of Boynton
Beach Code Sections as cited, subsequent to the date of compliance specified in the
board's Order of May 17, 2006 and having considered the gravity of the violations, the
actions taken by the Respondents to remedy the violations, and any an all previous
violations by Respondents that this board impose and certify a fine in the amount of
$100 per occurrence for a total of 25 occurrences. Mr. Moyer seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.
Chair Costantino explained the board certified the lien and if a repeat violation occurred,
the board could certify another lien.

Officer Webb presented the case and reviewed the details of the violation.
Bethany Francoise represented the Respondent, and pled no contest. She explained
she was in the process of repairing the roof. This case involved an insurance mediation
claim that was being negotiated. The process was lengthy and in the interim, the
Respondent was trying to refinance the house to obtain the funds to repair the
dwelling. She thought 90 days would be needed to complete the repairs. She informed
the board she had not been by the property recently, but did know initially there were
vehicles that were removed. She was not certain there were any other vehicles
remaining to be removed. The only outstanding violation was the carport roof.

that this board find that Briseus Luce is in violation of the City of Boynton Beach Code
Sections cited and moved to order that the Respondent correct the violations on or
before July 15, 2007. The board has considered the gravity of the violation, the actions
taken by the Respondent and any previous violations by the Respondent and hereby
orders that if the Respondent does not comply with this Order, a fine in the amount of
$25 per day for each day the violation continues past July 15, 2007 plus administrative
