Violation(s): BBA FBC 2010 ED 105.1
Permits required for excavating, replacing
sanitary lines, and demolition of screen

Case No. 13 -908 JP Morgan Chase 191 SE 27 Avenue
Pete Roy, Chief Code and Rehabilitation Officer, presented the case as in the notice
of violation dated April 30, 2013. The violations pertained to trimming overgrowth,
removing horticultural debris, and cleaning and maintaining the pool. The case was
heard on July 17, 2013, and Attorney Marguerite White appeared. The compliance date
and fine set by the Board was July 27, 2013, or a fine of $1,000 per day would be
incurred thereafter. The violation still exists having 52 days of non - compliance.
Tamara Walters, representing JP Morgan Chase, explained the Bank checked on the
property in June or July, and the property was occupied. She explained they do not
have the writ of possession and the property has not yet gone to sale. They were in
limbo. Until the Bank had title, they did not have the legal right to enter the property and

address the matter. She emphasized the Bank would like to comply, but they could not
legally do so. An upcoming hearing to reset the foreclosure sale was pending. Once
the sale occurred, whoever purchased the property would have to obtain a writ of
possession to enter the property.
Chair Costantino inquired if the Respondent was aware there was a fine of $1,000 per
day. Ms. Walters thought the fine should be assessed against the property owner, who
was the mortgagor and the title holder. Officer Roy was at the premises several times
and did not see anyone there. Ms. Walters explained they received a message from the
Bank in July the property was occupied. There was a hearing on June 19, 2013, and
they notified the bank and they responded back they could not do anything.
Officer Roy was at the premises yesterday. The pool was secured, but it was dirty. No
mosquitos were noticed. The property was occupied by the owner who was in default.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Vice
Chair Cole moved that this Board find that the Respondent has not complied with this
Board's Order dated July 17, 2013, 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 $1,000 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. Ms. Yerzy seconded the motion that unanimously passed
Chair Costantino requested Ms. Walters convey to the Bank that they drain the pool and
explained the order would be mailed to her. Mr. Cwyner inquired if the property owner
was still at the premises, why they would not be served as opposed to the Bank.
Attorney Bridgeman explained the Code Officer serves the Bank in compliance with the
language contained in the City's Ordinance, which holds banks responsible for
maintaining the property once the property is vacant and there is a lis pendens filed.
Case No. 13 -12 Alberta K. Bell
Property Address: 2040 NW 1 St Street
Violation(s): BBA FBC 2010 ED 105.1
Permits required for excavating, replacing
sanitary lines, and demolition of screen
enclosure. Red tagged.
Officer Pierre presented the case as in the notice of violation. The Respondent was
present.
Olenza Roberts, 16822 Mercott Boulevard, Loxahatchee, the general contractor
hired to fix the problem, was present

Boynton Beach, FL September 18, 2013
Alberta Bell, owner, 2040 NW 1 St Street, and her daughter, Octavia Bell, were present.
(Ms. Carroll arrived at 6:55 p.m.)
Mr. Roberts requested 90 days because this issue involved the insurance company and
the cost of the repairs exceeded the owner's budget. Ms. Bell has a property adjuster
working in her favor, but the insurance company was trying to deny the claim, which
was causing the delay. The home had old cast iron piping and a contractor tried to
make the repairs from the rear of the house; however, when Mr. Roberts followed the
line into the kitchen area, under the floor, he saw the sewer line had corroded and was
causing a sewer odor. The tenant called Code Enforcement and Ms. Bell released the
tenant from the Section 8 Program. Currently, the owner is going back and forth with
the insurance company, hence the request for the 90 -day extension.
Mr. Roberts cut the kitchen floor to locate the problem. He did not do the original work.
He stepped in to identify the problem before pulling a permit. He was aware a permit
had to be pulled, but he had to identify the problem first. He understood the damage to
the screen enclosure dismount was caused from a hurricane. Photographs were shown
to the Respondent and the Board. The property was vacant. Mr. Roberts explained he
felt strongly the insurance company would pay the claim. They had a meeting with
them, and they requested more documents from the owner. The property adjuster was
working on the matter. The insurance claim was for the sewer line, not the screen
enclosure, and the leak caused breathing problems for the tenant. The sewer line goes
straight through the house. The line runs 30 to 40 feet, but he did not know where it tied
in. Letters from the insurance company and adjuster were presented to the Board.
Ms. Bell did not know how long it would take to address the matter if the insurance
company denied the claim. It would be a significant expense to make the repairs and
the Respondent was on a fixed income. The sewer line should be tapped. Chair
Costantino commented this would be a long drawn -out process. She recommended
setting a date and fine, and the Respondents continue to work on the matter. Once
they obtain the permit and final inspections, the Respondent can come back to the
Board.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Ms. Yerzy
moved that this Board find that Alberta K. Bell 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 November 17, 2013. 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 November 17, 2013,
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 Cole
seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Mr. Roberts questioned why the extension was only 60 days as opposed to 90 days.
Chair Costantino explained this would give them leverage, and they should notify the
insurance company this is the amount of time they have to make a decision on the
matter. It was explained the fine starts running in November. She suggested once the
permit and work is done, they notify Code Compliance. If a fine starts to accrue, they
can come back to the Board.
Case No. 13 -1338 Harold E. Jones
Property Address: 1050 SW 23 Avenue
Violation(s): CO CH20 SEC 20 -7
LDR CH3 ART IV SEC 3(C)
Boat repair not permitted in this zoning district.
Boat must be parked on a hard surface.
Officer Pierre presented the case as in the notice of violation and announced the
Respondent was present.
Harold E. Jones, 1051 SW 23 Avenue, pled no contest. He requested 60 days and
hopefully would get rid of the boat sooner. He had a check that bounced from a buyer
and commented he could not seem to get rid of the boat. It was supposed to be picked
up this past weekend.
Officer Pierre had photographs he showed the Board. The boat was parked on the side
of the house next to a hedge, but it stuck out in the front of the house by 10 to 15 feet.
Five people were going to pick it up. He tried to give it away to local charities, but the
boat was given to his son by a company he worked for, but he did not have the title.
The vehicle identification numbers showed the boat is not stolen, but a charity company
would not take the boat without a clear title. Chair Costantino did not think 60 days
would help. Although the property was well maintained, the Board should consider the
neighbors.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Vice Chair
Cole moved that this Board find that Harold E. Jones is in violation of the City of
Boynton Beach Code sections cited and moved to Order that the Respondent correct
the violations on or before November 2, 2013. The Board has considered the gravity of
the violations 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 violations continue past
November 2, 2013, 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. Ms.
Yerzy seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Case No. 13 -1479 U.S. Bank National Association
Property Address: 1016 SW 28 Avenue
Violation(s): CO CH10 SEC 10 -51.5 INC
Property that is vacant or subject to a current
notice of default must be registered with the
City and maintained per City Code. Register
property. Remove all trash and debris from
carport.
Officer Pierre presented the case as in the notice of violation. The Respondent was to
register the property and remove trash and debris from the carport. Only the trash and
debris remained outstanding.
Lisa Szulgh -Rier, representing the Bank was put under oath. She works for the law
office of Elizabeth Wellborn, Deerfield Beach, and advised she had no jurisdiction to
enter a plea on behalf of the client. The property was occupied either by the owner or
someone else. The property was in foreclosure.
Officer Pierre testified he was at the property the day before and it is vacant. Ms.
Szulgh -Rier had no record of when the property was checked, only a record in the
system indicating the Bank said it was occupied. Chair Costantino thought records
should be updated. Ms. Szulgh -Rier explained they have to abide by the laws of the
State of Florida. If it is occupied, whether by an owner, tenant or someone else, the
preservation team cannot go out or they will violate the law if they remove property on
the premises. She can request re- evaluation of the property, but if it is occupied, they
cannot remove anything from the premises.
Chair Costantino suggested the Bank representative and lawyers should check before
the meeting to ensure it was occupied. Ms. Szulgh -Rier reiterated someone had been
to the property. She was not present to argue, only to represent the Bank and to let the
Board know what they were told. The lis pendens was filed June 7, 2012. The owner
was U.S. Bank National Association. The mortgage and note are in the name of the
borrower, not the Bank. They issued the foreclosure, therefore the Bank cannot
address the matters. They will re- evaluate the matter, and they use mailing records.
Often it looks like individuals do not live there, but they send mail to the law office with
the return address of the property. They are obligated to evaluate.
Officer Pierre had photographs he showed the Respondent and the Board. Attorney
Bridgeman explained the Ordinance the Code Officer must follow. They will not cite the
property and have the case unless he determined the property is in violation according
8
Meeting Minutes
Code Compliance Board
Boynton Beach, FL September 18, 2013
to the Code of Ordinance. The Ordinance specifies if the property is vacant and there is
a lis pendens filed, the Bank is responsible for maintaining the property. U.S. Bank
registered the property.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Ms. Yerzy
moved that this Board find that U.S. Bank National Association is in violation of the City
of Boynton Beach Code section cited and moved to Order that the Respondent correct
the violations on or before October 18, 2013. The Board has considered the gravity of
the violations, 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 $250 per day for each day the violations continue past October
18, 2013, 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. Ms. Carroll seconded
the motion that unanimously passed.
Case No. 13 -1503 JP Morgan Chase National
Property Address: 2586 SW 10 Street
Violation(s): CO CH10 SEC 10 -51.5 INC.
Property that is vacant or subject to default
must be maintained per City Code. Remove
outside storage, clean and secure pool, repair
fence, windows and screens, wires and
remove boat from property.
Officer Cain presented the case as in the notice of violation. The only violations
remaining were the pool was unsecured and unclean. The initial inspection date was
July 18, 2013.
Christina Suarez - Arias, Esq. with Butler and Hosch, P.A., representing JP Morgan
Chase National Bank, the mortgagor on the property, advised they did not have title to
the property. The lis pendens was recorded November 2012, and the property is owner
occupied. The owners were served on the property and were litigating the case, but the
Court indicated they should be able to move to judgment within the next few months.
They checked on the property, and the preservation team reflected it is occupied. She
requested any fines be levied against the property owner as they still inhabit the
residence. Once they take title, they will address the matter immediately.
Officer Cain explained he inspected the property earlier in the day. There were no
curtains on the windows. The rooms have no furniture in them. He spoke with the
owner on a few occasions, and he is returning to the property. He was the person who
removed the boat, cut the grass and repaired the fence. Unless he was sleeping on the

floor, there was no sign the dwelling was inhabited. The air conditioning unit was gone
and he did not know if there was an electric meter. He and the Senior Officer visited the
premises several times. The case arose from a complaint from a neighbor.
Ms. Suarez -Arias explained the home was inspected within the last 30 days and the
owner is receiving mail at the property and litigating the case from that property;
therefore, they cannot enter the home until title is secured. The owner maintained the
property, not their preservation team.
Officer Pierre explained the owner receives his mail at 1260 S. Federal Highway
according to the Property Appraiser's Office. He is not listing that address as his place
of residence.
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Ms. Yerzy
moved that this Board find that JP Morgan Chase National Bank is in violation of the

Division in order to arrange for re- inspection of the property to verify compliance with
this Order. Ms. Carroll seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Attorney Suarez -Arias inquired ,for the record, where the information was that stated the
lender was the owner and the title was in the lender's name. Chair Costantino referred
her to the staff.

Gerald Fasolo, 1503 NE 4 th Court, pled guilty, but explained people set his house on
fire, not him, and it was causing him problems. He inquired what was left to do before
the case was closed as he had addressed some of the issues.
Officer Lewis explained an inoperable vehicle and trash and debris remained on the
property. As to how he would dispose of the debris from the fire, Mr. Fasolo explained
City staff told him he could put some out each Thursday. Several cars that were
inoperable and unregistered had caught fire. All the vehicles were removed except for a
red Cadillac without a tag that was not his. A black Impala belonged to his daughter
and a blue Mazda Protege, which was his, were registered. Officer Lewis explained a
violation still existed. Officer Lewis explained he could not bring vehicles back to the
premises. The vehicles were set on fire while he was asleep in the house. Mr. Fasolo
advised the neighbors alerted him to the fire. The yard was cut twice.
Officer Lewis explained Mr. Fasolo had a history of bringing vehicles to the home. Mr.
Fasolo reiterated all of the vehicles belonged to him and they were all a few hundred
dollars away from being drivable. He had intended to sell them. When asked if he had
a dealer's license, he responded he did not. He explained they were his vehicles and
they were registered to him. The cars are gone
There was still debris to be removed as the carport was completely burned. There was
brief discussion of removal of the trash. Normally when there is a fire, there is
insurance involved, but Mr. Fasolo advised he had no insurance. Officer Lewis
recommended obtaining a dumpster, filling it and hauling it off. Mr. Fasolo commented
he did not have a job. He spoke with churches and organizations for assistance, but
has not received any. The fire occurred on July 23, 2013.
The following Cease and Desist Order pertained to prohibiting any more cars on the
property:
Motion
Based on the testimony and evidence presented in the aforementioned case, Ms.

actions taken by the Respondent, and any previous violations by the Respondent, and
hereby orders that a fine in the amount of $200 per recurrence of the violation thereafter
shall be imposed upon the Respondent. Ms. Yerzy seconded the motion that passed
