Boynton Beach, FL August 18, 2010
The property owners had tenants that own pit bulls. One of the dogs was removed
because it severely injured a neighbor’s dog. One pit bull remained at the premises and
was unlicensed and unvaccinated. She sought a Cease and Desist order for violations
of the Leash Law and another motion for all else.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Karageorge moved that a Cease and Desist Order be issued giving Lawrence
Grossman until August 19, 2010 to bring the violation(s) of City of Boynton Beach Code
sections as cited into compliance. The Board has considered the gravity of the
violations, the actions taken by the Respondents, and any previous violations by the
Respondents, and hereby orders that a fine in the amount of $100 per recurrence of the
violation thereafter shall be imposed upon the Respondents. Mr. Karageorge clarified
this pertained only to the Leash Law (Sec. 4-32)
Mr. Brake preferred to see a fine of $150 because another animal was already bitten.
Mr. Karageorge amended his motion to $150. Mr. Brake seconded the motion that
passed unanimously.

the result of a citizen complaint. The violation was creating a nuisance, specifically by a

day to comply. Proof of service was obtained via hand delivery on August 11, 2010.

Boynton Beach, FL August 18, 2010
The resident was cited in May of 2009 based of affidavits from complainants. The
Respondent was cited again on July 22, 2009 also based on affidavits. Subsequent
affidavits were received again on August 3, 2010. She requested a Cease and Desist
Order be entered. The Respondent was present.
Lila Delapaz
, 1606 SW 17th Terrace, was put under oath and pled not guilty.
Officer Roehrich had photographs provided by the affiants. Office Roehrich had spoken
with the Respondent who had admitted to her that she fed the Muskogee Ducks, but
was no longer doing so. Photographs were distributed to the Board. There were always
ducks congregated at the property; however, Officer Roehrich had never witnessed the
Respondent feed them.
Officer Roehrich recommended an immediate Cease and Desist Order be entered.
Vice Chair Yerzy noted for the record the Respondent did not appear anywhere in the
photographs with the animals.
Ms. Delapaz explained she has been living at the premises 11 years and she had
mango and avocado trees on her property. She lives very close to the lake and when
the fruits fall the ducks come. She testified the ducks sit there, but she was not feeding
them. She was warned not to feed them and she stopped. She does not go into the
backyard because her neighbors take photographs.
Three affiants were present. Officer Roehrich explained it was her understanding of
duck behavior that they congregate for only one reason and then they would wander
everywhere. When Officer Roehrich visited the home, ducks came out from the bushes.
Curtis Smith
, 1978 Campanelli Boulevard, testified he lived at the premises just under
20 years. This issue began 3.5 to 4 years ago. He personally, and other neighbors,
asked her to stop feeding the ducks. He asserted she responded no one would stop
her from feeding the ducks. Her home was three blocks off the lake with a group of
homes that had adjoining backyards. He testified the last time she fed the ducks was
early Monday morning. She looked around, throws a silver bowl out and runs back into
the house. She does this every day and the matter was getting worse. The ducks cut
through property. The house next door to his had a bush, and with mating season, the
neighbor had to put up a screen to keep them from nesting there. There were pigeons
everywhere. He testified he signed an affidavit.
Mr. Brake inquired what level of evidence the Board would need to catch her feeding
the ducks. Officer Roehrich referred the question to Attorney Tolces. She added
multiple sworn affidavits and testimony should suffice and the back-up presence of the
Affiants. It was not always possible to catch the Respondent in the act. Officer
Roehrich also testified the Respondent told her office she was unsure she could stop.

Boynton Beach, FL August 18, 2010
Attorney Tolces discussed the testimony and evidence the Board would consider. He
commented the Board would need to determine if it would be sufficient if there was duck
feed on the sidewalk, or a picture of the Respondent putting it there; if it would be
enough to accept the testimony from a neighbor who saw her do it, or if the Code
Officer had to actually see her. The Board needed to make those determinations.
Attorney Tolces indicated normally it was the testimony of the Code Officers whether
the violations exist. In this case it was a little different because the Officer has to testify
that she personally witnessed the Respondent feeding the ducks. He advised the
Board must decide on the proof and decide whether or not to enter the Order and then
in the future if they would impose a fine.
Vice Chair Yerzy noted a gentleman in the back had photographs.
Mr. Foot felt the matter was a two-fold situation: the testimony of the Affiant seeing the
Respondent put the food there and then the ducks eating it. Attorney Tolces advised
typically the Board does not look at testimony and evidence provided by the neighbors.
It relied on the testimony of the Code Officer because it was the City making the charge.
In this instance, the Board must decide what they would consider and allow.
Bob Shattuck
1616 SW 17th Terrace, testified his wife owned the house and the
Respondent lives directly behind him. He has photographs taken in 2009 and on August
9, 2010 of this year. He distributed the photographs to the Board. The paper picture
was taken in April 2009. The next picture was from film developed on August 10, 2010
where the Respondent was seen outside on August 9, 2010 with the ducks at the back
door.
Officer Roehrich had not observed any food used as feed on the grass or patio, but did
testify the ducks were there. She testified to the statements made to her by the
Respondent which were that she feeds the ducks. She has now stated she had not;
however, the evidence and testimony show that the ducts were still causing a sanitary
nuisance due to the food outside seen by the Affiants. She did not pay attention to the
fruit trees and her professional opinion was fruit was not the usual food of ducks. It
would take the ducks a long time to leave the area since they've been conditioned to eat
there. The violation occurs when they are being fed. There was an option in the case
because no one owned those ducks, and the food would lead to the ducks death. The
ducks could be removed at a cost.
Chair Costantino noted there was one photograph showing the Respondent outside with
the ducks. The Respondent replied they would be there all the time because she has
the mango and avocado trees. The photograph was taken about 11 years ago. Chair
Costantino noted another photograph was taken yesterday reflecting her and the ducks.
Ms. Delapaz explained the ducks would be there. They do not leave so easily. She
testified the neighbor would go door to door about it.

Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Vice Chair
Yerzy moved that a Cease and Desist Order be issued giving the Respondent, Lila
Delapaz until August 18, 2010 to bring the violation of City of Boynton Beach Code
sections as cited into compliance. The Board has considered the gravity of the
violations, the actions taken by the Respondents, and any previous violations by the
Respondents, and hereby orders that a fine in the amount of $200 per recurrence of the

motion that passed unanimously.
Case # 10-2081 Citimortgage – 1619 NE 3rd Street
Location: 1619 NE 3rd Street
Violation(s) CO CH10 SEC. 10-51.5 Inc.
Property vacant or subject to default must be
maintained in accordance with property
maintenance regulations as adopted by the
City. Mow and trim overgrowth.
Luney Guillaume
, Code Officer, presented the case as contained in the staff report.
The Initial Inspection Date was July 13, 2010. Fifteen days was given to comply. The
green card was signed on August 4, 2010. A representative from the Bank was
present.
Amy Weaver
, representing Citimortgage in the mortgage action, was present and pled
no contest. She was unsure what registration the bank needed to register with to
comply. She explained the bank did not have ownership of the property. Attorney
Tolces explained under the City’s abandoned and foreclosed registration property
ordinance, the bank, if it has commenced a foreclosure proceeding or has an interest in
the property that is vacant or abandoned and they are required to register the property
with the City.
Mr. Foot noted the violation was for maintenance. Attorney Tolces added under the
same ordinance, the mortgage holder was also required to maintain the property. Ms.
Weaver requested 15 days to clean and mow the property. Officer Guillaume was
unsure whether the property was registered or not. Accordingly, Attorney Tolces
recommended hearing the maintenance side of the case.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Karageorge moved that this Board find that Citimortgage – 1619 NE 3rd Streetis in
violation of the City of Boynton Beach Code section cited and moved to Order that the
Respondent correct the violation on or before September 2, 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 September 2, 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. Vice Chair Yerzy seconded the motion.
Mr. Foot felt one week was sufficient; however Ms. Weaver requested two weeks
because of the number of properties. The motion passed 5-1 (Mr. Foot dissenting.)
Case # 10-1739 W.J. & Kathleen Perry
Location: 602 NW 5th Street
Violation(s) CO CH15 SEC 15-120(D) INC
CO CH20 SEC 20-6

and outside storage.
Officer Melillo presented the case which arose from a citizen complaint. The initial

The outstanding violation was to remove trash and outside storage. Staff
recommended 10 days be given to comply.
Walter James Perry
, 602 NW 5th Street, pled no contest and requested 10 days.
Photographs were distributed to the Board. Mr. Perry explained the truck was his
roofing truck and he just had to move it. Mr. Brake reviewed the extent of the violations
in the photograph and explained there were other items to be addressed other than the
truck. He inquired if he needed more than 10 days. Mr. Perry responded he just
needed to move the truck and could do so within 10 days.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr. Foot
moved that this Board find that W.J. & Kathleen Perry are in violation of the City of
Boynton Beach Code sections cited and moved to Order that the Respondents correct
the violations on or before August, 28, 2010. The Board has considered the gravity of
the violations, the actions taken by the Respondents and any previous violations by the
Respondents and hereby orders that if the Respondents do not comply with this Order,
a fine in the amount of $100 per day for each day the violations continue past August
28, 2010 plus administrative costs shall be imposed. The Respondents are 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.

Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, FL August 18, 2010
Unit cannot be occupied without water and
electric.
Officer Pierre presented the case as contained in the staff report. The Respondent was
present.
Eduardo Cardena,
122 SW Port Circle, Apt. F, Delray Beach, pled not guilty.
Officer Pierre explained the Respondent has a tenant at the property and there was no
water or electric at the property. At the same time Mr. Cardena started the process of
eviction, but they had to bring the case before the Board because of safety reasons.
It was confirmed the electric and water were off. There was no electric meter and the
City turned off the water due to non-payment. The Respondent provided proof of
eviction.
Mr. Cardena explained he filed the eviction June 9, 2010. He spoke to his attorney
earlier in the day and was advised the judgment was passed. He was now notifying the
Sheriff. It was noted FPL pulls meters for non-payment. There was an inquiry if water
and electric was included in the rent. Mr. Cardena provided the lease to the Board
indicating the tenant was responsible to pay the utilities.
There was brief discussion of who is responsible to pay the utilities. Mr. Blasie
explained the matter of who pays the bills was irrelevant. The issue was the unit was
occupied without water and electricity. A neighbor complained there were candles lit.
The matter ultimately falls back to the landlord; however, the landlord has the right to
pursue the tenant for any damages as a result of their failure to comply with the law.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Karageorge moved that this Board find that Eduardo Cardena 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 August 25,2 010. 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 $150 per day for each day the violation continues past August
25, 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. Foot seconded

Case #09-1904 Chackman Motel Inc. 706 W. Boynton Beach Blvd.
Officer Roy presented the case. The Notice of Violation was June 18, 2009 to replace
missing landscape materials and remove trash and debris, maintain the dumpster in a
sanitary condition, mow and trim overgrowth, weed, and replace mulch. The case was
heard on March 17, 2010 and no one appeared. A compliance date of April 16, 2010
and fine of $250 was imposed. The violation still exists and the Respondent was
present.
Leonard Chackman
,17914 Lake Estate Road, Broken Sound, explained he was trying
to comply. Many items were ongoing. It was difficult to control the tenants, especially
the ones that deal with food. He acknowledged the violations were his responsibility,
but these were violations that occurred at the shopping center. He believed, in
essence, they complied. They have done the most of what they should do.
Officer Roy indicated they were making progress. The Respondent re-mulched and
planted trees and bushes but some of their plantings did not take. There was wall graffiti
and the dumpster was still dirty. Officer Roy was aware the landlord had a problem with
one of the tenants. He spoke to the property’s handyman and explained Mr. Chackman
needed to blitz the work. If he continued to address the violations in the present manner
the property would never comply. He also pointed out that if City Forester Kevin
Hallihan approved the work, it was sufficient for the Board.
On any particular day you could find something wrong. Mr. Chackman thought they did
a pretty good job and it was not an eyesore. The property was important to him and he
was trying to comply. The tenants were important and he would do whatever he could.
Mr. Chackman met with Mr. Hallihan and had photos taken showing they basically
complied.
Officer Roy distributed photographs to the Board.
Lawrence Wyland
, was administered the oath. Mr. Wyland 1840 SW 66th Avenue,
Boca Raton, performed the maintenance work for Mr. Chackman, testified to the work
that was done and was ongoing. He advised over $23,000 was spent on the property to
replace missing landscaping. They had problems with some of the plants that did not
take. The matter was being addressed and they had a problem with vandalism. He
explained Officer Roy was there at 10 a.m. and he arrived later in the day. He had
photographs and advised the only things out of compliance were the dead plants. As to
the dumpster, when he sees the mess, he cleans it. The problem was with a tenant.
They do not break the boxes down or put them in the cardboard receptacle.
Chair Costantino recommended all the work be done at the same time because it was
going on too long. Mr. Wyland testified he was not aware there was a landscape plan.
They had to remove vegetation that grew over the years and there were vandalism and
sprinkler system issues. Additionally, he just saw graffiti on one of the back doors.

Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Karageorge moved that this Board find that the Respondent has not complied with this
Board's Order dated March 17, 2010 and having considered the gravity of the violations,
the actions taken by the Respondent, that this Board impose and certify a fine in the
amount of $250 per day plus administrative costs which shall continue to accrue until
the Respondent comes into compliance or until a judgment is entered based upon this
certification of fine. Vice Chair Yerzy seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Case # 09-2909 High Ridge Properties 640 E. Ocean Avenue
John Herring
, Code Compliance Officer, explained this case pertained to a Cease and
Desist Order. The Notice of Violation date was September 9, 2009. He reviewed the
violations as contained in the staff report. The case was heard on November 21, 2009
and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine was to Cease and Desist by
November 26, 2009 or incur a fine of $250 per occurrence. The occurrence dates were
June 16 and 27, 2010 resulting in two inspections. Officer Herring had photographs he
distributed to the Board.
Attorney Tolces administered the oath to the Respondent.
Sid Fendor
, 1178 Park Ridge Place North, Boynton Beach, was one of the owners of
the property. Her tenants, Sushi Joe and Café Frankies were the tenants that were not
in compliance with the Code. She testified she thought they were attending the
meetings and addressing the violations. She was present to see if the Board could help
her with the fine because the tenants were struggling. She was working diligently to get
more tenants. She was aware the tenants were told not to put the signs up and they did
anyway. She inquired if they could reduce the fines and she would ensure the tenants
not erect any signs unless she conferred with the City first.
Officer Herring testified he went around and around with Cafe Frankies about the
violations, and he was beyond the point of advising them of the deadline. He was past
giving verbal warnings and issuing various notices to correct and citations. He
exhausted all avenues and had to go this route. Mr. Foot noted there were banners at
the site since June 27. Officer Herring indicated when he notified them of the Cease
and Desist Order, he received a call from Mark Fendor questioning why the tenants
were not advised to remove the banners. Officer Herring informed Mr. Fender it was his
responsibility, and that the tenants were advised a number of times about the signs.
Mr. Karageorge commented there was a banner permit for Special Events available,
which was a 90-day permit. The Chamber of Commerce and the City worked on this
diligently. Officer Herring informed the members he made Café Frankies aware of who
to contact to obtain a permit for the banners. He tried to be helpful but Café Fankies did

what they wanted. He acknowledged this was an extreme route which now involved the
owners.
Officer Herring had photographs he distributed to the Board. There was also another
lien recorded on the property from a Cease and Desist Order. Ms. Fender was unaware
there was a lien recorded on the property. Her brother may have been aware of it.
Officer Herring explained the time stamp for some of the photographs in the stapled
packet of photographs was broken due to a camera malfunction. The complaint started
with circulating banners on City trees, other signs in the right-of-way, and signs
obstructing pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk.
The Respondent handled some of the management issues. The Palm trees were
trimmed, she had estimates to re-blacktop the parking lot and she hoped to revitalize
the property to attract new tenants. She would be happy to bring Sushi Joes and Café
Frankies to the City to see about permitting. She apologized, and was unaware there
was another alternative. Her brother Mark was handling the matter in the past and he
may be aware of what is going on, but her brother was out of the country all summer
long and he did not pass on the seriousness of the Code violations to her. It was noted
sandwich boards were allowed on his property as long as they were off the right-of-way.
There was brief discussion that Human signs were difficult to police but were allowed as
long as they did not impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic. One photo taken on a
Sunday morning reflected a sign was in a driveway and the sidewalk and the Café was
not open until 4:30 p.m.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Karageorge moved that this Board find that the Respondent has not complied with this
Board's Order dated November 21, 2009, and having considered the gravity of the
violation, the actions taken by the Respondent, that this Board impose and certify a fine
in the amount of $250 per day plus administrative costs which shall continue to accrue
until the Respondent comes into compliance or until a judgment is entered based upon
this certification of fine. Vice Chair Yerzy seconded the motion. It was noted the motion
was a certification. The fine to be certified was two Cease and Desist violations at $250
per occurrence plus administrative costs. The total to be certified was $942.06 which
included the administrative costs. Mr. Karageorge amended his motion to include that
amount. Vice Chair Yerzy agreed to the amendment. The motion unanimously passed.
It was explained to the Respondent that each time another violation occurred, she
would receive a notice requesting she appear before the Board. The Board would
consider imposing a fine and they would be recorded as a lien on the property.

them to the next Lien Reduction meeting and not the regular meeting.
Case #09-3469 U.S. Bank National Assoc. 111 NW 17th Avenue
(Tabled on July 21, 2010)
Mr. Blasie explained last month when the case was heard, the applicant and the Code
Compliance Board came to terms on an agreed settlement of administrative costs.
Legal staff had concerns regarding the procedures. Staff has confirmed the procedures
were in place correctly and he recommended moving forward with just the
administrative costs. The applicant was present. Mr. Foot questioned why the case
was tabled. Mr. Blasie explained the case had to do with property registration. The
property was in foreclosure and a sale was pending. Figures were provided about the
loss the bank was taking on the sale. The applicant felt administrative costs were fair
and reasonable and the Board agreed with that conclusion. Attorney Bridgeman was
not comfortable with the procedure and wanted to review it further. The case was
tabled, legal reviewed the procedures and it was determined they were followed and
correct. There were questions about why the Board would assess only administrative
costs.
Gregory Taylor
, Attorney representing U.S. Bank National, 5310 NW 33rd Avenue,
Suite 101, Ft. Lauderdale, was present. He testified the judgment was for $291,000.
Mr. Blasie explained the contract and closing was to occur on Friday. The applicant had
testified they were willing to pay the administrative fee. He explained Christina Neville
had appeared on behalf of Attorney Taylor. The lien was filed after the Lis Pendens and
before they received the Certificate of Title.
Motion
Based on testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case and having
been advised that the Respondent have complied with all lien reduction procedures set
forth in Section 2-84 through 2-89, the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances, Mr.
Brake moved that this Board reduce the fines instituted in the aforementioned case by
virtue of this Board’s Order of December 16, 2009 to an amount of $634.12 including
administrative costs. Ms. Carroll seconded the motion that unanimously passed.

Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr. Foot
moved that this Board find that Maxime Genest is in violation of the City of Boynton
Beach Code section cited and moved to Order that the Respondent correct the violation

Chair Costantino requested another motion.
Motion
Mr. Brake moved to dismiss the violation at 2820 for Maxime Genest. Mr. Foot
seconded the motion for discussion. There was discussion the City was not in violation
of law by prosecuting the matter. Staff had previously advised by Mr. Blasie to exercise
leniency.
Mr. Blasie explained he may have advised the Board to this, but the restrictions were
relaxed the last four to six months. Residents were allowed to water newly planted
landscape materials for 30 days and residents were allowed to legitimately water three
times per week thereafter. Staff tries not to nitpick, but if there was a substantial area
that was dirt, staff could site. The property was a commercial property. An earlier case
was cited as a commercial property and residential was no different.
Officer Pierre distributed photographs for the Board. Mr. Blasie and the staff have
discretion. A long standing policy was if it was a commercial property, which residential
rentals are considered as, an income is received and the property should be maintained
in accordance with the Code. Even if an owner/occupied residents has a dirt lawn
owners will be cited. At this time, in most cases given the economy and staff’s case
load, it would be sufficient if the owner mowed the lawn and it was green.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Mr.
Brake moved that this Board find that Maxime Genest is in violation of the City of
Boynton Beach Code section cited and moved to Order that the Respondent correct the
