Case #05-2653 Pita General Corp. 3005 S. Congress Ave.
Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator, presented the case. The property owner
at the time of the violation was Pita General Corp. The property is owned by San Lor
Properties LLC, cited November 29, 2005 for overgrowth and trash and debris. The
case was heard on January 18, 2006 and no one appeared. The compliance date and
fine set by the Board was January 28, 2006 or incur a $200 per day fine. Compliance
was documented on May 23, 2007 having 470 days of non-compliance plus the
administrative costs.
The facility was a nursing facility next to Manor Care. Code Compliance became
involved after Hurricanes Jean and Frances. One of the storms damaged the roof to
the extent there were mold issues. They had to move all the residents out and shut
down the facility. The building and property was vacant. Staff dealt with Pita General’s
attorney at the time. The applicant concluded the building was not salvageable and
wanted it demolished, but the insurance company contested it. It moved its way through
the court system and made it to federal court. Pita General was prohibited from
entering the property by the court, thereby preventing them from even mowing the
property. Documents to those facts were in the file. They fenced in the property to
prevent vandalism. Once the court cleared them to enter the property, they hired Vila
and Son to provide routine maintenance. Mr. Blasie had several meetings with the
property manager, who was fully willing to comply with the site plan requirements.
The property now has new owners who were planning a new facility that should be
applying for permits early next year. The property was demolished and cleaned. The
area where the building remained was fenced and in compliance. Photographs taken
February 14, 2006 showed overgrowth and dead vegetation. Two photos were taken
earlier this date which he showed the Board. When the property became a court issue
was when they were prohibited from maintaining the property. The City was
recommending being very sympathetic since the matter was held up in court for two or
three years. Mr. Blasie recommended leniency as they were putting up a new facility on
the premises.

Samuel Cantor
, 2499 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Suite 210, closed the transaction for
the new owners. He confirmed what Mr. Blasie had presented and added the case was
started in December 2005. The new owners, when given clearance by the Court,
immediately worked with the City, who determined the building was not salvageable.
Accordingly, the structure was fenced and eventually demolished. His clients were
seeking to avoid the fine as there was nothing they could do to comply.
An Autism family center and the Palm Beach School for Autism was planned for the
site. The estimated cost was $12 to $15 million. World class architect, IM Pei was
hired to design the building.
Attorney Cantor explained his clients spent $150,250 for the demolition costs, $4,000 to
$5,000 for the weeding and landscaping, and another $4,000 to $5,000 for the fencing.
Clearing the demolition debris was about $3,000.

Case #09-3377 Michael P. Powers
Location: 409 E. Boynton Beach Blvd..
Violation(s): BBA FBC ’07 ED. 105.1
Permit needed to remodel. Red
Tagged.
Officer Webb presented the case as contained in the staff report. The Respondent was
present.
Mike Powers
, 409 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard, pled no contest. The permit was
applied for on November 30, 2009. Two days ago, they learned the permit cannot be
issued at this time.
Dwayne Sear
, 134 SE 9th Avenue, confirmed Mr. Powers’ comments that the permit
could not be issued at this time. They tried to comply with the violations regarding
replacing the wall and the electric but as a result of wording on the blue print, other
issues surfaced. The City was requiring additional items that were not on the
architectural plans the contract had drawn up. They were in the process of addressing
those items. They hired an architect to depict what was fixed and that was reject so they
were trying to restore the property. The electrical was being inspected. They were
discussing with the City what changes were needed. The intent was to restore the
building to its original condition.
Dan Icaro
, City of Boynton Beach Building Inspector, explained the Florida Building
Code required the issues be addressed. The issue was the occupancy and how they
were attempting to use the space.
The building was rented out and the tenants made changes that were incorrect and the
Respondents were attempting to rectify the matter. The Respondents were in
agreement with Mr. Icaro. It was noted the units in the building were being used for a
Church and the other for a clothing store.
Mr. Icaro explained there were three new electrical panels that were unpermitted and
uninspected. The Respondents explained air conditioning, plumbing and other items
were being brought up, none of which were not in the violations cited, but which they
drew up in the plants to be corrected to obtain a permit and be inspected. The tenants
were going to be moved out and the building restored to the original condition. They
were currently talking with the architects who would meet with the Building Department
Inspector to correct the matter. He was unsure how long the process would take.
The building started out as a clothing store. The tenant decided to sublet to church
gatherings but still have the clothing store. The Respondents were not opposed to

Case #09-1063 Meadows on the Green Condo Assoc. 100 Meadows Circle
Skip Lewis, Senior Code Compliance Officer, presented the case as contained in the
staff report. The Respondent was present.
Vincent Saffioti
, 9672 W. McNab Road, Tamarac, was present. He announced he was
President of the Board of Meadows on the Green. Mr. Saffioti advised to his knowledge,
the only permits missing were structural permits. The Meadows was a 410 unit rental
complex that was converted to condominiums in 2005. There was a 50% or higher
foreclosure rate and was anticipated to climb to 60%. The structural permits were an
issue because whom the Association’s records indicated as the structural engineer of
record, were not the engineer of record. Accordingly, the firm would not sign off on
work they did not do.
Officer Lewis explained the case was a Red Tag for permits that included structural,
electrical and mechanical that were never inspected or finalized by the company that
pulled the permit. There were numerous permits for each building. Officer Lewis had
numerous meetings with the Association and he requested being kept apprised;
however, he heard nothing from them. Officer Lewis clarified he had no contact with
NOVA.
Discussion followed there were a number of mitigating circumstances. It was also noted
there was no information supplied by the Building Department regarding the Red Tags.

and tenant walls. He offered to be the point person between the Meadows and Building
Department.
Motion
Mr. Foot moved that Case #09-1063 be tabled until the Code Compliance Board
meeting to be held on January 20, 2010. Mr. LaRock seconded the motion that passed
5-2. (Chair Costantino and Vice Chair Yerzy dissenting.)
Case #09-1581 Robert & Jeannine Mannweiler 3111 SE 1st St.
Mr. Blasie presented the case as contained in the staff report. The Respondent was
present.
Robert Mannweiler
, 109 NE 7th Street stated he addressed the issues. His water bill
was also paid, which had been outstanding.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in Case #09-1581, and having been
advised that the Respondents have complied with all lien reduction procedures set forth
in section 2-84 through 2-89 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances, Vice
Chair Yerzy moved that this Board rescind the fine instituted in Case #09-1581, by
virtue of this Board’s Order of September 16, 2009, and that the lien imposed by that
Order be released. Mr. LaTour seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Case #08-538 Siobhan Petrillo 931 Sunset Rd.
Mr. Blasie presented the case as contained in the staff report. Compliance was
documented on July 28, 2009. It was noted there was a lis pendens recorded on the

Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #08-538, and having been

Section 2-84 through 2-89 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances, Mr. Foot
12
Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL December 16, 2009
moved that this Board reduce the fines instituted in Case #08-538, by virtue of this
Board's Order of May 21, 2008, to an amount of $5,000, including administrative costs.
Mr. Karageorge seconded the motion. The motion failed 3 to 4, (Chair Costantino, Vice
Chair Yerzy, Ms. Carroll and Mr. LaTour dissenting.)
The Board returned to discussion regarding the fine amount. The points raised were
the fine was over $100,000 and a reduction to $5,000 was substantial. The neighbors
also had to endure the property for over 400 days and fines can be a deterrent. It was
also noted it was not the role of the Board to gain revenue for the City, rather it was to
gain compliance. The party cited was not the individual who created the violation and
she was being punished. Another aspect of the fine that was discussed was the banks
have no authority to do anything to cure the violation until the Courts authorize them to
do so. The Courts are taking in excess of two years to give the properties back to the
bank, which contributes to the properties deteriorating, which is something the City
Commission should consider.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in Case #08-538, and having been
advised that the Respondent has complied with all lien reduction procedures set forth in
Section 2-84 through 2-89 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances, Vice Chair
Yerzy moved that this Board reduce the fines instituted in Case #08-538, by virtue of
this Board's Order of May 31, 2008, to an amount of $1,634.12, including administrative
costs. Mr. Karageorge seconded the motion.
Vote

2009. Mr. Karageorge agreed to the amendment. A vote was take and the motion
passed 6-1 (Mr. Foot dissenting.)

Attorney Alexander also explained a workshop should be set. She elaborated it would
not be appropriate where they set a standard fine of a standard case. She clarified the
Board was bound to the facts and evidence and must act individually for each case as it
stands on its own merit. She noted a standard fine could not be used for the type of
violation, although one could be used for repeat violators.
On another matter, it was requested the Legal staff be approached to create a specific
motion for foreclosures. Attorney Alexander explained when they move for foreclosure,
it was an action to move the case forward to the City Commission for action.
Chair Costantino also expressed the Board needs additional information when
addressing matters having "Red Tags." Mr. Blasie agreed to convey the information to
the Building Department.
Adiournment
There being no further business before the Board, the meeting properly adjourned at
