IV. New Business
Case No. 11-3198 US Bank National Assoc. TRS 309 SW 4 th Street
Ms. Springer presented the case. The notice of violation was on November 28, 2011,
for violations pertaining to mowing and maintaining all overgrowth. The case was heard
on January 18, 2012, and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine set by the
Board was to comply by January 28, 2012, or a fine of $250 per day would be imposed

thereafter. The violations were corrected on December 12, 2012, having 318 days of
non-compliance.
When Ms. Springer was first contacted, she checked the water and tax bills. All was up-
to-date at that time and the case was in compliance. There needed to be an inspection
for lien reduction and she emalled the real estate agency and title company to send a
representative to repair or replace the garage door, clean and secure the pool, repair
the pool enclosure, replace the pool filter, maintain overgrowth and pressure clean the
roof.
In February, a re-inspection took place and all but the fence was addressed. The Code
Officer found the garage door was installed without a permit. Ms. Springer contacted
the real estate agent, who paid for a permit, but the contractor did not pull one, A permit
was eventually issued. The work was finalized on March 27, 2013, and the property
passed inspection on April 11, 2012, making it eligible for a lien reduction.
Sue King, 5629 Strand Boulevard, Naples, with DataQuick Title, was present. She
explained the property is a bank-owned foreclosure. It foreclosed slightly over $378,000.
The list price was $149,900, but the contract price was unknown. Ms. King assumed the
contract price was fairly close to the list price. They made over $43,000 of repairs on
property and she produced receipts she provided to the Board. Ms. King got involved
with the property about two months ago and that was when she found out about the
garage door and a few other items to be corrected. There is a contract pending the
release of the lien.
Ms. Springer had photographs from May she showed to the Respondent and the Board
of the interior and exterior of the home. Chair Costantino inquired if the buyer was
purchasing the property as an investor. Ms. King did not know, but hoped it would be
an end user. She thought if the buyer was an investor, there would be a loan. The
buyer is purchasing the home from the bank after the bank foreclosed.
It was noted the violations compiled before the photographs were taken and the repairs
were extensive.
Based on the 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, Vice Chair Cole moved that this Board reduce the fine instituted in the
aforementioned case by virtue of this Board's Order of January 18, 2012, to an amount
of $7,634.12 including administrative costs. Ms. Yerzy seconded the motion that
unanimously passed.
