management company. Management indicated they would make payments as of that
date to reduce the fee and show good faith. As of this morning, nothing was received
so the entire amount was owed. Ms. Springer could not testify if she believed there was
good faith, only that nothing was received. Mr. Ferreira wanted a six-month payment
plan. The Fire and Police Departments are also owed. The fine payments would total
$1,600 a month for the next six months.
Vice Chair Yerzy was not in favor of an extended payment plan. The Board can only
make a finding of guilt or not and issue a compliance date. Mr. Foot suggested allowing
one month to see how the payments progressed. The Board could table placing a lien
on the property next month if payments were received.

Pete Roy, Chief Code and Rehabilitation Officer, presented the case as contained in
the notice of violation. The initial inspection date was December 14, 2010 and notice
sent the same day. Ten days was given to correct the violation. The mailing certificate
was signed December 31, 2010. The compliance date was February 26, 2011. The
Respondent was present.
John Van De Warker, 312 SW 11th Avenue, pled no contest and reported he was in
limbo. Mr. Van De Warker produced thick files and explained he was trying to comply,
He was fighting with the mortgage company who was foreclosing on the property, who
was represented by the Law Offices of David Stern. He advised he was in complete
limbo at this time. He was trying to work with the foreclosure suit. He contacted
another attorney who recommended two options. The first was to demolish the building,
He would comply with the City and he would address the mortgage himself. He wants
to comply and has a landlord permit for the other side of the property. The City has
inspected the property. The City will not subordinate. but would modify. He does not
know who will get the foreclosure through because of David Stern. He was aware of the
lien that affected his primary home, which now has the lien associated with the two
properties. He was two steps away from a deed-in-lieu. He cannot execute the deed
in lieu because of the lien from the one property being placed on the other, The other
option to comply was to phase the rehabilitation. He does not know what to do. He just
negotiated his primary, They renegotiated the settlement, but he still has the lien. He is
thinking of tearing down the building.
Mr. Brake inquired if the case was coming before the Board as a new case, This came
through the Building Department as a Red Tag from 2008. It was noted the Board
previously heard the case and certified the lien The property was clean and had no
trash.
Chair Costantino suggested tabling the case so the Officer could research it further.
Motion
Ms. Carroll moved to table Case No. 10-3288 for 30 days to March 16, 2011. Mr.
LaRock seconded the motion that unanimously passed. If the case was a duplicate

was issued on December 2, 1010 giving 30 days. The notice was sent certified mail on
December 31, 2010 and was signed on December 23, 2010. The house is vacant, so
the Business Tax Receipt would not apply. Only the driveway would be addressed.
Staff recommended 30 days, March 18, 2011 as a compliance date.
Mr. Karageorge arrived.
Christopher Ryan, 7422 Waterdance Way, Lake Worth, pled not guilty. Officer Roy
circulated photographs to the Respondent and the Board. Mr. Ryan explained the
driveway is usable. He called the City to ascertain if he could put rocks in the driveway.
The Building Department was unresponsive to his request for information on what he
could do. Officer Roy agreed to advise him how to comply after the meeting. He also
commented he parked in the City parking lot by the school, which was much worse than
his driveway.
Mr. Foot disclosed Mr. Ryan was a former client of his. He understood he was able to
speak and vote on the matter.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Vice Chair
Yerzy moved that this Board find that Christopher Ryan is in violation of the City of

violations, the actions taken by the Respondent and any previous violations by the

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. Brake seconded the
motion for discussion.
Mr. Brake felt 60 days was too long and felt 45 days was still generous to repair the
driveway. Mr. Foot also felt $50 would be more appropriate. Mr. Brake thought $100
would be sufficient and discussion followed.
Chair Costantino confirmed the motion would be to comply by April 2, 2011 or incur a
fine of $100 per day. Vice Chair Yerzy agreed to amend the motion to reflect the
change suggested by the Chair. Mr. Brake seconded the motion that passed 6-1 (Ms.

2010. The Respondent was present.
Philip Weig, with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, 8500 SW 117th Road, Miami, pled no
contest. He spoke with the Code Officer about securing the back door and tree limbs.
The property was an abandoned property. He thought the property could be addressed
within 30 to 45 days. The property was secured in the past, but it became loose.
Discussion turned to securing the property much sooner than within 45 days. The tree
limbs were close to the power lines. Mr. Karageorge suggested two motions. One to
secure the property and the other for maintaining the trees. Both motions would be a
motion finding a violation.
The following motion pertained to securing the residence.

522 NE 2nd Street
Officer Webb presented the case as contained in the Notice of Violation. The violation
still exists having 30 days of non-compliance.
Robert Beverly, 2642 Chantelle Lane, Tallahassee, explained he was put on hold. He
spoke to Officer Webb and Mr. Blasie months ago. There was a hold up with the
engineer. The paperwork was in order, but when submitted, there was an issue with the
drawing and measurements. He was in limbo and attempted to comply and has
communicated with staff. The trash and debris was removed and Mr. Beverly was in
process of obtaining a trailer to remove the vehicle. A meeting with the Respondent
and Tim Large of the Building Department was scheduled for the next day at 10 a.m
regarding the remodel and the addition. A Business Tax Receipt was denied and he
needed two permits. The Business Tax Receipt could not be obtained because of the
other issues. Discussion followed the two individuals formerly living at the premises had
each paid half the rent. A Business Tax Receipt had been needed.
Motion
Mr. Foot moved that the aforementioned case be tabled until the Code Compliance
Board meeting to be held on March 16, 2011. Mr. Karageorge seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.
Mr. Beverly was unaware a fine was imposed on the property. It was noted his Uncle,
Mr. Thomas Aiken, was informed of the fine when he appeared on his behalf.
Case #09-2520
Stephen & Laura Gallagher
801 South Road
Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator took the oath and indicated this lien
reduction involves two cases: one for a Business Tax Receipt and the other for
Community Appearance Issues. Case # 09-2520 pertained to Community Appearance
Issues. The case originated on July 30,2009. The Respondents live on Bamboo Lane.
The address of record for the case was South Road. The case was heard September
16, 2009. No one appeared. The date and fine set by the Board was September 26,
2009 or incur a fine of $50 per day. Compliance was documented on February 4, 2011
for a total of 495 days of non-compliance. Mr. Blasie requested Officer Webb testify
about the case. Officer Webb testified the case complied prior, but he could not
remember the exact date. Officer Webb had a conversation with Mr. Gallagher and the
overgrowth was addressed "awhile ago." Mr. Blasie wanted that fact on the record
because the photos circulated showed much overgrowth.
Steven Gallagher, 816 Bamboo Lane, Delray Beach, confirmed the subject property
was located at 801 South Road. The property was located near the Boynton spillway.
Mr. Gallagher testified the property was not a distressed property that was ignored. It
was a home he owned in the City for 10 years that he paid taxes on and maintained.

February 16, 2011
The violation dated back to 2009 and was a rental property. The tenant, at the time, let
things overgrow. He does not visit the property on a regular basis, and there were front
hedges that became overgrown. The City cited him and posted the premises but he
was never made aware of it. It was only when certified mail was sent to the house did
he become aware of the violations. The tenant signed for him, which he should not
have, and then contacted the owner.
When Mr. Gallagher was made aware of the violation in 2009, he immediately called
Officer Webb to find out how he could comply. After that, he called the next day and
advised the property was trimmed. Officer Webb said he would go out and re-inspect
and let him know if there was a problem. That was the last he heard of it since 2009.
Recently Mr. Gallagher evicted the tenant and Officer Webb stopped by while his wife
was preparing the property for the next tenant and informed his wife of the lien. He was
in complete shock. The next morning he was at the Code Compliance office
ascertaining how it happened and what he needed to do. Ms. Springer advised him
how to comply and he did. He complied the day he received the letter. The file had a
February 4, 2011 date of compliance.
Mr. Brake asked Officer Webb if the November 10, 2009 date he went to the property
and saw the tree trimming could be right. Mr. Brake assumed it was. When staff
realized Mr. Gallagher was not living at the property, he inquired if anyone did any
research to see what other property he owned. Staff had done so, but accidently
misspelled the name from the tax roles. Mr. Gallagher also has two City water accounts.
Mr. Gallagher expressed if staff wanted to contact him, they could knock on the door
where the tenant lived or have spoken with anyone from the neighborhood. Chair
Costantino reminded Mr. Gallagher it was his responsibility to notify the tax entities of
his current address. It was not staff's responsibility to hunt the owner down.
Officer Webb testified he did knock on the door and left his card, but he could never
catch the tenant. Mr. Gallagher commented he could not remember the exact
compliance date, but he did comply immediately. He thought the date from the certified
mail receipt would be around when he complied.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, 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, Mr. Foot moved that this Board reduce the fine instituted in the
aforementioned case by virtue of this Board's Order of September 16, 2009 to an
amount of $2,634.12 including administrative costs. Mr. Brake seconded the motion that
passed 6-1 (Ms. Carroll dissenting).

Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, Fl
February 16, 2011
Mr. Blasie presented the case having to do with the same respondents and which
pertained to a Business Tax Receipt. The case was cited November 10, 2009 and was
heard by the Board on December 16, 2009. No one appeared and a compliance date
and fine was established for December 26, 2009 or incur a fine of $100 per day
Compliance was achieved on February 4. 2011 having 404 days of non-compliance.
Steve Gallagher, 816 Bamboo Lane, Oelray Beach, testified back in 2009 he was only
informed about the hedges. He had never heard they had to have a Business Tax
Receipt to rent in the City. He testified he spoke with several individuals owning rental
properties and his wife is in real estate. The requirement is unpublicized and selectively
enforced. He was sure there were many properties that rent without the Business Tax
Receipt. If it was a violation, he inquired why he was not notified when the hedges were
an issue. Vice Chair Yerzy sympathized but pOinted out ignorance of the law was no
excuse.
Mr. Brake explained in November 2009 he met with Mr. Webb about the trees, at which
time he was not receiving notices. At that time, he had not changed his contact
information for the tax roles. Mr. Gallagher agreed, but pointed out he did not know that
was the problem. He did inform Code Compliance how to get in touch with him and he
informed the tenant to forward him any information that he needed. No one said the
problem was because of the tax bill. Chair Costantino pointed out that, as with any
business, one would approach the municipality to find out about licenses. Mr. Gallagher
conceded he would if it was a business. Chair Costantino explained renting property in
the City is a business and it should have been a priority. Mr. Gallagher responded
when he found out about the requirement, he complied, but there was no
communication. When speaking about the hedges, he was not told about the Business
Tax Receipt and he assumed Code Compliance had the proper contact information.
Mr. Karageorge noted many properties pay the Business Tax each year and it is
enforced in a fair and just manner. He disagreed with Mr. Gallagher's comment that the
provision is selectively enforced. Code Compliance has been enforcing it for over 20
years. The Board takes the regulation very seriously. The Board does not want
property rented that is unsafe. Mr. Karageorge expressed sympathy for Mr. Gallagher
and for staff misspelling his name during their search for
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, 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, Mr. Brake moved that this Board reduce the fine instituted in the
aforementioned case by virtue of this Board's Order of December 16, 2009 to an
amount of $2,000 including administrative costs. Mr. Karageorge seconded the motion
for discussion.

Mr. Karageorge questioned Mr. Brake how he arrived at the $2,000 fine amount. Mr.
Brake responded it sounded "pretty."
Mr. Gallagher did not want an arbitrary number and took exception to the comment
made. Mr. Brake apologized if he offended Mr. Gallagher, but he wanted the amount to
be less than $4,000, which is what the Board would normally consider. While it may
sound arbitrary to Mr. Gallagher, it was upsetting to the other Board members and that
was why he was questioned about it. The number was low for the Board. He was not
trying to insult Mr. Gallagher. The Board wanted $4,000 to $5,000. Mr. Brake
acknowledged that Mr. Gallagher had a point about the property and if Mr. Gallagher's
name was spelled right, someone would have found him. But he asserted Mr.
Gallagher did rent to two different individuals and made money on the property as a
business. There was a successful business at the property that the City did not inspect
to ensure it was safe. If the City had, perhaps the issue with the tree trimming could
have been averted because the inspector would have inspected the property and made
a finding.

costs. Mr. Brake responded his motion stood.
