The hearing was held on December 17, 2014, and the Respondent appeared. The compliance date and fine was January 31, 2015, or a fine of $100 a day thereafter. The only violations remaining were the vehicles. The trash and outside storage was addressed by the compliance date. Officer Cain explained four inspections of the property took place and there was 45 days of non- compliance. Charles Herring Sr., property owner, received the first notice. He called Officer Cain and they met to discuss the violations. All was addressed except the cars. He was in the process of selling one, but he had to get paperwork. He received the second notice indicating the same violations needed to be addressed which confused him. Originally, there were three vehicles in total. Ms. Ellis inquired why he did not register the vehicles and he responded he did not have the paperwork for it. When he went to the Department of Motor Vehicles, he thought he had all the paperwork. He does not drive and as soon as he could, he would register it. Officer Cain explained there was more than one car left. There was a BMW and a Mustang still on the premises. Mr. Herring advised the BMW was for sale, but it had been purchased for his son. He questioned why he would register it if he intended to sell it. He did not have the paperwork for the Mustang. Ms. Ellis explained she gave a deadline which had passed. If this was the first time he was here, she could extend the compliance deadline, but it was not resolved and she had to certify the fine. Since it was out of compliance for 45 days, the fine was $4,500, plus administrative fees. Mr. Herring thought the fine did not start until the compliance deadline. Ms. Springer confirmed that was correct. 9 Meeting Minutes Code Compliance Hearings Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2015 i I Officer Cain explained he never complied. When he spoke with Mr. Herring, he advised him about the issues on the side of the house and in the front. They had a discussion about the cars. The notices Mr. Herring received included the car. He should have known prior to that he was still in violation for the car. As for BMW for his son, it was there for a few years. Officer Cain thought he understood if Mr. Herring obtained the tags for the vehicles, they could work it out. As of today, the violation still existed. Decision Ms. Ellis gave Mr. Herring a March 19 5 p.m. deadline to register the vehicles or the $5,000 fine would be certified and the fees would continue to accrue. Ms. Ellis tabled the case to April 15, 2015. Case No. 14-2445 Real Strategic Capital LL C 1601 NW 2 "d Court Pat Hart, Code Compliance Officer, presented the case.

The property was re-inspected on March 17, 2015, and the violations still existed, having 45 days of non-compliance. Officer Hart had photographs he showed to the Respondent and Ms. Ellis. The chain link fence was fixed by the compliance date. Bernadine Jones, Asset Manager, explained they started a renovation and obtained permits in the allotted time. A buyer wanted to purchase the property "as is" and advised they would handle the violations. The day before closing, the buyers backed out and Ms. Jones had to obtain five different estimates from contractors. It was a large renovation, costing about $50,000 to $60,000 in repairs. She requested 120 days to bring the property into compliance. It would be a brand new house, but it would take time for the permitting. The client took ownership in August 2014, and the case was heard December 17, 2014. They went into contract at the end of December with all the permits in place in the required time frame. Ms. Ellis explained the owner should have come in December. Ms. Jones agreed, but had not received the paperwork. She asked for an exception. The work would improve the neighborhood's value. Officer Hart explained he spoke to the owner by phone. The property owner had asked for 45 days, which he gave. Ms. Jones offered to provide all the estimates by the end of the day and staff could pull the permits. The fine was $200 a day with 45 days of non-compliance. Ms. Ellis explained the lien reduction process and noted the violation was ongoing since October. She appreciated the presentation, but six months had already passed. 10 Meeting Minutes Code Compliance Hearings Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2015 Decision Ms. Ellis certified the fine and recommended after all repairs were made, a lien reduction be requested. Case No. 14-2050 Live Oak Park LL C 410 NE 26 Ih Avenue Officer Weixler presented the case. The Notice of Violation was August 29, 2014. A Business Tax Receipt was needed as were permits for interior and exterior renovations. The case was heard December 17, 2014, and no one appeared. The compliance deadline and fine was January 16, 2015, or a fine of $150 a day would be imposed thereafter. The property was last inspected March 17, 2015, and the violations still remained having 60 days of non-compliance and four inspections. The Respondent pulled the permit, and plumbing and mechanical plans were finalized. The Respondent had not requested the electrical inspection since January. As a result, the building permit was not finalized and Officer Weixler could not final the Business Tax Receipt inspection until all else was addressed. The accrued fine was 60 days at $150 a day plus three inspections. Jabil Kis, the owner, advised he attended the meeting on December 17, 2014, and he was told he would receive an extension so he went home. He spent about $200,000 on the property and the plans were submitted to the Building Department three times, but were rejected. He has an engineer, architect, and a general contractor. He advised there was a limit to what he could do. Officer Weixler explained the case was initiated August 29, 2014, and the Respondent had applied for the permit on December 16, 2014. He tabled the case to give additional time. At one point, the Respondent informed him he had no money to hire a contractor, which was why he did not pull the permit. Two days later, sod was delivered to the property. As of today, the last time the electrical inspector was there was in January and he failed the inspection and another inspection has not occurred. He passed by the home and the door was open. He called the Police Department to ensure the home was empty. Mr. Kishk's worker was there working without permits.. The inspectors needed to see the work. There was a problem with the electrical, probably because the electrical inspector could not see what was behind the walls. The permit was still open, but he failed the electrical inspection. Ms. Ellis explained this case was ongoing since August, and there had been extensions. Decision Ms. Ellis certified the fine and advised once all was complied, he could apply for a lien reduction. 11 Meeting Minutes Code Compliance Hearings Boynton Beach, Florida March 18,2015 E. Lien Penalty Certificaiton — Irreparable Damages Case No. 15-357 Yachtsman Properties LL C 1600 N. Federal Highway Officer Hart presented the case. The Notice of Violation was February 11, 2015, regarding discharge to the sewer of grease and oil with irreparable damage done on February 9, 2015. Officer Hart met with the Environmental Inspector on March 10, 2015, who advised the drain was a French drain, which seeps into the ground as opposed to the Intracoastal. Officer Hart informed the property owner on March 12, 2015, the drain could be cleaned, but the tenant effected permanent damage and cleaning was not done, to-date. He had photographs of oil in the drain he showed to the Respondent and Ms. Ellis. Jason Evans, Attorney for Yachtsman Properties, explained his client purchased the property during the last quarter of 2014 and has been revamping the plaza, and trying to terminate the tenancies of the commercial tenants. It has been a hostile situation. The tenancies were supposed to terminate on January 31' because they were month to month leases. Since he was retained, he filed lawsuits for evictions. This situation occurred five weeks ago by one of the tenants. Mr. Maselin, the owner, hired the Ecologic Group LLC as the general contractor and advised he needs 10 to 15 business days to remedy the matter. Attorney Evans requested 20 business days to be safe. Ms. Ellis inquired if the environmental consultant would issue a report. Attorney Evans was aware the contractor would remediate the issue, but he did not know the scope or extent of the contamination. Ms. Ellis thought the case had a strict liability and was an irreparable damage situation. When Officer Hart met the inspector at the site, they did not see any oil in the drains any more as it seeped into the ground. As of March 10, 2015, there was no visible signs of oil. Mr. Evan advised his client purchased the property which had dire issues. This was retaliation from a tenant for Mr. Maselin trying to evict. They would do all they could to address the matter and would pay for the cost to remedy. Ms. Ellis sought to determine what type of fine should be imposed because this case had a strict liability concept and she needed something to quantify the damage. She wanted to see a written report from the environmental consultant and inspector to better understand the matter. She advised there was some discretion in the Code. There will likely be a fine of some kind, but she needed the reports first and would make the decision next month. Decision Ms. Ellis tabled the case to the meeting next month and wanted the reports by then. She advised it should be remedied right away. 12 Meeting Minutes Code Compliance Hearings Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2015 d. Lien Reductions Case No. 11-1829 AmTrust Bank 3220 E.
