Courtney Cain, Code Officer, reviewed the details of the violations as contained on the
staff report. The case arose as a citizen compliant. The initial inspection date was
March 2, 2010. Written notice was issued giving 10 days. The property was posted on
April 1 , 2010.
James Kassat, Marshall C. Watson, PA, 1800 NW 49th Street, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,
representing the Bank pled no contest and requested 15 days.
Mr. Karageorge requested splitting the case and having the property secured in 10 days
as one motion and the remaining violation within 15 days.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Karageorge moved that this Board find that Deutsche Bank National Trust is in violation
of the City of Boynton Beach Code section cited and moved to Order that the
Respondent correct the violation on or before May 1, 2010, specifically to secure the
property by that date. 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
$100 per day for each day the violation continues past May 1, 2010 plus administrative
costs shall be imposed. The Respondent is 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. Mr. LaRock seconded the motion.
There was discussion whether the five days difference between the two motions would
justify the paperwork. Mr. Foot suggested allowing 15 days to correct both violations.
Ms. Carroll concurred and noted the Respondent requested 15 days. Mr. Karageorge
felt an unsecured building attracted criminal activity. Mr. Foot agreed but noted it was
not practical nor was it likely for the bank to arrange for the property to be secured in 10
days.

Case #10-586 - Deutsche Bank National Trust- Item Revisited.
The Board revisited Case #10-586, which was the first case heard on the agenda. This
case involved the bank not owning the property. The only violation was the failure to
register the property. The motion needed to be amended to reflect the Bank as the
Respondent as was originally made. Attorney Bridgeman further clarified if the only
violation was the property was a foreclosure, it incorporated the maintenance and
registration violations. The trigger as to whether the Bank owned the property or the
owner was if there was more than one ordinance cited on the violation. Mr. Karageorge
had originally desired to split the motion, with one part dealing with securing the
premises. Attorney Bridgeman explained the property was not cited separately; that
aspect was encompassed in the Registration Ordinance. She explained there were
other cases on the agenda where the violations were cited separately, and they would
address them as they were heard.
Mr. Karageorge amended his motion to reflect the bank as the owner. Vice Chair
Yerzy, the seconder, agreed to the amendment.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Karageorge moved that this Board find that Deutsche Bank National Trust is in violation
of the City of Boynton Beach Code section cited and moved to Order that the
Respondent correct the violation on or before May 6, 2010. 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 $100 per day for each day the violation continues
past May 6,2010 plus administrative costs shall be imposed. The Respondent is further
ordered to contact the City of Boynton Beach Code Compliance Division in order to

Pete Roy, Chief Code and Rehabilitative Officer, reviewed the details of the violation.
The property owner was Wilfrid Pierre and the mortgage holder was Aurora Loan
Services, LLC, represented by the Law Offices of David Stern. The case arose from a
citizen complaint. The initial inspection date was February 23, 2010. The initial notice
was a written notice dated March 10, 2010. Ten days was given to comply. Certified
Mail was sent March 23, 2010 and signed for between March 23 and 26, 2010. The
only outstanding violation was the registration of the property. The recommendation to
comply was to allow 10 days to correct the violations.
Wilfrid Pierre, 436 SW 5th Avenue, pled no contest. He reported all was addressed.
There was discussion the Board cited vacant properties; however, this property was
occupied by the owner.
Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator, explained they interpreted the ordinance
under the definition of abandoned property to include those properties with lis pendens
filed against them, whether occupied or not. Since Officer Roy cited the property for
registration violations, there was a lis pendens. The occupant complied but the Bank
still needed to register the property. He recommended any Order rendered would be
against the Bank.
Motion
Ms. Carroll moved that the aforementioned case be tabled until the Code Compliance
Board meeting to be held on May 19, 2010. Mr. Foot seconded the motion.
There was discussion 60 days, June 16, 2010 was appropriate. Ms. Carroll amended

Case # 09-121
Donald Ross
2891 NE 4th Street
Mr. Blasie presented the case and reviewed the details. The case originated January
13, 2009 regarding overgrowth in the yard and a fence that needed repair. The case
was heard on February 8, 2009 and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine
established by the Board was to comply by February 28, 2009 or incur a fine of $150
per day. Compliance was documented on August 24, 2009 having 176 days of non-
compliance accrued. Mr. Cruz, who is the current property owner, purchased the
property via warranty deed on March 19, 2010. In order to qualify for lien reduction, he
had to repair the driveway, clean-up the yard and remove the fence. He also paid a
past-due mowing charge from the City of $398.09. No back taxes or utility payments
were owed. Mr. Blasie distributed three photographs taken April 20,2010. Photographs
taken February 16, 2010, February 18, 2010 and another on January 7, 2010 reflected
the violations. Other repairs were made to the interior of the home, which did not
require a permit.
Richard Cruz, 1540 SW 4th Circle. Boca Raton, explained his intention was to
rehabilitate the home. He was an investor who purchased the home with the liens. He
hoped the Board would waive the fines. The dwelling was in bad condition on the
inside. He had photographs he distributed to the Board. The neighborhood had several
empty homes and it would be a benefit to have more investors come in and rehabilitate
the neighborhood. If the City could assist the investors with the fines, they could help
improve the area.
Mr. Foot noted Mr. Cruz took possession of the home on March 19, 2010, but the
former owner brought the property into compliance in August of 2009. Mr. Blasie
clarified in August of 2009, the only violations were the overgrowth and the fence repair.
Mr. Cruz explained when he purchased the property, he immediately contacted Diane
Springer, Code Compliance Coordinator, to ascertain and complete the required
improvements needed to come before the Board. Mr. Cruz reported he was
experiencing dumping of trash and debris on the property. While he was rehabilitating
the home, he maintained the premises and he planned to maintain it until it was sold.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, 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,
Mr. Foot moved that this Board reduce the fines instituted in the aforementioned case
by virtue of this Board's Order of February 18, 2009, to an amount of $1,634.12,

Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL
April 21, 2010
Chair Costantino reminded the members a handout was included with the meeting
materials regarding a Code Compliance conference. There were no funds to subsidize
the conference fees for the Board members. It was suggested the members register
online for the conference should they desire to attend.
Mr. Karageorge noted he would either be late or miss the June meeting due to a
scheduling conflict.
Update on Ralph and Rosie
Attorney Bridgeman acknowledged the Board worked diligently on the Ralph and Rosie
case. The City secured liens on the property and the City Attorney's Office filed a
motion with the court to foreclose on the liens. Litigation was currently ongoing. At the
time the action for the foreclosure was filed, there was $472,119.74 in fines on the
property. The fine continues to accrue by $500 per day.
She commented Wachovia Bank purchased a tax certificate for the most recent
delinquent taxes on the property. Although there was a foreclosure action pending, the
taxes would have to be paid prior to the City receiving any financial recovery on the
property. Attorney Bridgeman was confident the business would no longer be an issue
for the City either because the City would secure the property through the foreclosure
action or Wachovia would secure the property through the tax certificate. The case was
proceeding through the court process and they hoped to have a resolution soon.
Chair Costantino thanked the Legal Staff for their work.
VIII. Adjournment
Motion
Mr. Karageorge moved to adjourn. Vice Chair Yerzy seconded the motion that
unanimously passed. The meeting adjourned at 9:03 p.m.
