Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, Florida June 18, 2012
Courtney Dunn, 40101 Ravenswood Road, Dania Beach, was the new property
manager for the property. She was unfamiliar with the case and was told to attend the
meeting. On a quick review, she stated the original violation was failure to register the
property which was in compliance. When the lien reduction was requested in January,
other violations were noted. Everything had complied and was up to date and she was
asking on behalf of the title holder that the fine be reduced as much as possible.
Mr. Bucella confirmed with the respondent that the Bank would be paying the fines, Ms.
Dunn was unsure if the property was currently being rented.
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,
Ms, Carroll moved that this Board reduce the fines instituted in the aforementioned case
by virtue of this Board's Order of June 15, 2011, to an amount of $3,634.12, including
administrative costs. Mr. Cole seconded the motion with discussion, Chair Costantino
opined that the fine was too low as the Bank was collecting rent during the time of the
violations. However, there seemed to be conflicting opinions on whether the property
was rented or vacant. Ms. Carroll agreed to amend the fine to $5,634.12. The motion
passed unanimously.

2010, for violations pertaining to the registering of the foreclosed property, removal of a
bee infestation and repair of the deteriorated exterior of building- The case was heard
on July 21, 2010 and no one appeared, The compliance date and fine established by
the Board was July 31, 2010, or a fine of $250 a day would be imposed thereafter. The

scraping and painting, the sprinkler system needed repair, the rotted deck in the rear of
the building would need repair or replacement, the mold pressure cleaned, replacement
of missing screens on the patio windows, and repair of the gate. The outstanding water
bill was paid. A reinspection was completed on June 7, 2012 and all violations were
corrected.

attorney for the Bank. She advised the Certificate of Title was issued on the property on
February 1, 2012. A lien reduction was being sought as there was a short sale contract
