amount of $1,634,12, including administrative costs. Mr. Bucella seconded the motion
that passed unanimously.
Case No. 11-1485 Deutsche Bank National Trust 5 Buxton Lane
Ms. Springer presented the details of the case. The notice of violation was issued on
June 20, 2011. It came before the Board on August 17, 2011 and no one appeared.
The proposed compliance date was August 27, 2011 or $200 per day. The compliance
date was on September 4, 2012, for 373 days of non-compliance for a total amount of
$74,600 plus administrative costs.
Elsie Kaprel, was a realtor with Century 21 appearing on behalf of the seller, advised
the property was listed on November 2, 2010 as a short sale. From that date on,
multiple offers were made on the property which were submitted to the Bank and
declined for one reason or another. The water bill lien had been paid by the seller. On
July 26, 2012, Ms. Kaprel wrote a letter to the negotiator at the Bank and indicated they
were ready to close on July 31 but was unable to do so due to the Bank's negligence,
The seller attempted to rectify the issues with the City of Boynton Beach but was unable
because the lien was not against the seller, but it was against the Bank. In 2011, the
property was broken into and the seller immediately repaired the property so that
intruders could not come in.
Mls. Kaprel further advised she wrote a letter to the negotiator on July 26, 2012
indicating the liens and the inability to close, even though there was a closing date. The
negotiator advised them that no one could take care of the liens except for their
preservation team. Even after telling them what needed to be done, the negotiator
indicated nothing could be done until the preservation team took care of the liens. To
date, nothing had been done. The last correspondence she had was on October 24,
2012 requesting a status and had received no response. The property was currently
compliant and it was evident the Bank was not willing to cooperate.
There was brief discussion on who the fine would be levied on. The Board wants the
Bank to be responsible since the Bank was cited, but Ms. Kaprel advised that the
responsibility would be with the owner since the property was not yet in foreclosure, but
in a short sale status. In the meantime, the homeowner association fees continued to
build and are approxiarntely $9,000 and until this issue is settled, those fees would
continue to grow waiting for the home to close.
Based on testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case and having
been advised that the Respondent, Deutsche Bank National Trust has complied with all
lien reduction procedures set forth in Section 2-84 through 2-89 of the City of Boynton

The information on the details of the case
Elsie Kaprel, was a realtor with Century 21 appearing on behalf of the seller. She
advised she had nothing further to add on this case.
Mr. Foot commented that Duetsche Bank should be held responsible because this was
a health issue. He stated that the Bank was not in a position to go in and remove the
bees and the property owner was still in possession of the property who should have
controlled the situation. Chair Costantino advised as soon as the Lis Pendens was
filed, under the Ordinances for Registration of Property, the Bank put themselves in the
middle of the game. They were cited for registration and maintenance issues and the
bees were considered part of the maintenance issues. Ms. Kaprel stated the owner
was not aware of the bees nest until recently. Ms. Springer confirmed this and stated
the problem was resolved.
