SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARINGS
Bt: YNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 20, 2015
Serene Prinyavivatkul and Kevin Faber, 170 SE 27 Avenue, explained they took
ownership of the property in 2004. They thought the hearing was an oversight on their
part, They have dogs so they pulled permits for the fence. It took a long time to sign off
and the self-closing latch did not work and the gates started to sag. They had moved
out of the property, but kept it up and thought it was resolved. They moved back in and
when they tried to refinance, they learned of the lien. Ms. Springer explained the permit
was not approved because of the latch and they never got another inspection. It was
now approved. Mr. Faber explained they always had a padlock on it. Ms. Ellis reviewed
photographs of the property which the Respondents verified as their property. Ms, Ellis
also saw a padlock for the fence.
Given the testimony, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien to $2,000 plus $634,12 administrative
costs.
Case No. 14-1508 Fetlar LLC 1154 SW 27 Avenue
Ms. Springer presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent on June 24, 2014,
regarding a Business Tax Receipt inspection for rental property. The case was heard
on August 20, 2014, and Krishwa Ramnanan appeared. The compliance date set was
August 28, 2014, or a fine of $500 a day would be imposed thereafter. The violations
were corrected on March 9, 2015, having 195 days of non-compliance and a fine of
$97,500 and administrative fees of $634.12,
In April, a lien reduction inspection revealed the Respondents had to sod the front yard,
repair the sprinkler system and repair the driveway. A second inspection in May
showed the property was eligible for lien reduction.
Leia Boggs explained this property took longer than expected for the Business Tax
Receipt because the home was occupied and it was difficult for the tenants to take time
off to accommodate an inspection. When they inspected, they found items the owners
addressed immediately so they could apply for lien reduction.
