Ms. Ellis noted initial inspection was on April 10, 2015. Another inspection occurred in
May and failed. The violation pertained to the parking lot and the landscaping. Officer
Pierre spoke to several people, his attorney and friends, and advised since the City
does not have the most recent site plan, they should fix the parking lot, install grass and
fix the landscaping. The City's copy was not on file.

purchased the property in March and it looked like there were no changes in the layout
of the parking lot. He did not agree that the plan was different than it was originally. He
believed the property was in compliance. As to maintenance, they hired a landscaper
and installed a sprinkler system. Ms. Ellis inquired if the changes satisfied Code

ensure there were no holes. The grass had to be addressed. The owners were not
required to change anything, only maintain the property.

holes. He requested a quote from a paving company. Officer Pierre had pictures Ms.

Please sod bare areas of lawn. Obtain
a Business Tax Receipt for rental

Boynton each, FL July 1, 2015
Ms. Ellis asked how the violation arose. Officer Shickles explained it was a routine
violation with the sod. He saw someone living there and the Property Appraiser's site
showed no homestead exemption. The mailing address was a mistake. His aunt is the
executor of the estate and she lives in another state so it was difficult to get answers
and find out if he has to move out.
Ms. Ellis explained the sod had to be addressed. He sodded and cleaned up the other
side of the house which had overgrown shrubs and would pressure clean the exterior.
The idea with a Business Tax Receipt is when an owner is receiving income and that
was not the case. Even though the estate is the title owner, there is no money
exchanged and the home is in foreclosure.
Ms. Ellis ordered 10 days to sod the lawn and would close out the Business Tax Receipt
portion of the case upon documentation that the aunt is the administrator and to
evidence the relationship of the family in the file. A copy of the Will or anything from the
attorney or Court tying him to the estate would be needed.
Decision
Ms. Ellis dismissed the Business Tax Receipt portion of the case contingent on
receiving proof of the relationship. As to the sod, if not corrected within 10 days, a fine
of $200 a day would be imposed thereafter.

tag.
Glenn Weixler, Code Compliance Officer, gave Ms. Ellis an email memo from Tony
Russo, Building Inspector to Andrew Mack, Interim Development Director, regarding an
update on the progress of compliance regarding the violation notice dated March 12,
2015. The memo was prepared at the request of a Commissioner for Ms. Ellis' consider-
ation on the status of the violations and Mr. Mack's recommendation of how much time
it would take to comply. She noted a permit was needed for an audio room balcony and
the permit was pending. All other components of the permits should be approved within
30 days and closed out within 90 days. A permit was also needed for a shed because
of the location and the setbacks. It reduced the parking. Since parking was an issue, the
recommendation was to remove the shed and use an offsite storage facility.

B oynton Beach, FL July 15, 2015
Mr. Mack recommended if the Church did not want to remove the shed, they should
meet with Planning and Zoning to discuss solutions. All solutions include reductions in
parking and possibly seating in the Church. They could include alterations to the
landscape buffer and dumpster enclosure. Mr. Mack noted this was not an easy matter
to rectify, which was why he recommended removing the shed until a solution could be
found that meets the Code.
Pastor Estagne Cin understood the City Engineer recommended removing the shed
and storage offsite was the best way to remedy the matter. There were multiple
meetings with the Building Department and the Church knows what needs to be done.
The permit is in plans check which means they applied for the permit, but it is not
approved due to setback issues, it will not be approved. Mr. Mack was indicating they
should not apply for the permit, even though they did, because it will not solve the
problem. They moved the shed 15 feet away from the building.
Officer Weixler explained the case arose from a citizen complaint. The initial inspection
was on March 6, 2015. The Respondent was not a repeat violator. Written notice was
sent on March 6, 2015, giving 10 days to correct the violations. The property was
posted on June 18, 2015. There are two permits. Permit No. 15 -2437 was for the shed
and Permit No. 15 -2400 was for a remodeled sound room which was still being
reviewed. Neither permit was issued. The property was last inspected on July 14, 2015.
Staff recommended a 30 -day compliance date of August 14, 2015, or a fine of $150 a
day thereafter.
Decision
Ms. Ellis ordered 30 -day compliance date, by August 14, 2015, or a fine of $150 a day
thereafter. It was recommended they meet with Ed Breeze, Principal Planner in the
Planning and Zoning Department.
Evan Dutent, a church member, advised the Church spent a lot of money to buy the
shed. Now the City sent a letter advising what needs to be done to keep the shed. They
hired a builder to do what is right and they applied for a permit. They want to keep the
shed as it is used to feed the community. They will set up a meeting.

appeared. The compliance date and fine was March 28, 2015, or a fine of $100 a day
thereafter plus administrative charges would be imposed. The property was last
inspected on July 15, 2015.
Ms. Ellis noted this case was tabled several times. Officer Hart explained permits were
being reviewed and no action was taken since May 26, 2015. Officer Hart thought

because the case stalled, the fine should be certified. The violations still exist and no
permit was pulled.
"Patrick ", one of the LLC owners, explained the home was a foreclosed home they
purchased. They renovated the home from top to bottom. They had a demolition
permit according to the contractor, but the permit was for the interior of the home and
not the back patio, which should have been included. The back patio was removed and
replaced and the renovations were finished. They tried to pull a permit after getting the
notice and the City would not issue one. He did not know if they needed to pay a permit
fee. The Respondent spent a lot of money renovating the home, they pulled permits for
everything and this issue was an oversight. It was not a poured patio. They used 36'
by 36' stones and thought they did not need a permit. Officer Hart explained because
the stones were grouted, a permit was needed. Patrick also pointed out he was not
receiving the notices at his office in Tampa.
Ms. Ellis explained when fines are certified, there is still an opportunity to come back to
have the lien reduced. The issue was ongoing for a while and the red tag was issued
on December 22, 2015. The pool company redid the existing pool and put down a new
patio. He thought they were trying to resolve the issue. Ms. Ellis pointed out no one
appeared at the hearings.
Ms. Ellis certified the fine and advised when the permit is pulled, they can apply for a
lien reduction and provide evidence the permit was pulled. Patrick explained the
contractor attempted to pull the permit recently, filled out an application and building
department staff did not know why they needed the permit because it was already in
place, and the Certificate of Occupancy was issued. Officer Hart had a copy of the red
tag, which Ms. Ellis reviewed. The contractor advised him the permit for the patio was
included.
Decision
Due to the dispute, Ms. Ellis tabled the case one more time. She recommended
"Patrick" talk to the contractor. She needed the information regarding who he spoke to
and what they told him. "Patrick" advised he wants to comply, and pay the fee, but the
Building Department did not cooperate. Ms. Ellis gave the Respondent until Friday to
take a copy of the red tag to the Building Department and show staff what he needs. If
he could get it straightened out by Friday, she would not certify the fine.

Officer Weixler presented the case. The notice of violation was sent October 10, 2014,
and the case was heard on January 21, 2015. No one appeared at the December
hearing. The compliance date and fine was March 22, 2015, or a fine of $200 a day
would be imposed thereafter. The property was last inspected on July 14, 2015, and
the violation still exists, having 114 days of non - compliance, and seven inspections for a
total of $672.21 in administrative charges and a filing fee of $250.
Ms. Ellis reviewed in October 2014 the violations still existed. In December a hearing
was held and no one appeared. The case was tabled to January and was tabled again.
When heard, Ms. Ellis ordered a compliance date of March 4, 2015, and as of March
23, 2015, the violation still existed. A scheduled fine certification occurred on May 20
The City requested it be tabled, and it was tabled again from June to this date.
Officer Weixler explained they had an inspection for the permit they acquired in 2008. It
did not pass inspection and they did not have a final inspection. They stopped the
inspections and the permit expired. They removed the structure, but there were wires
hanging out. The Building Department explained because they pulled a permit, a permit
is required for demolition of permitted work. Officer Weixler tried to contact the
Respondent, wrote notes to contact the Building Department, but they never did. They
did make an effort by removing the work, in spite of the wires hanging, but they did not
follow procedure and had ample time to do so. He expressed the fine should be
certified. Total administrative charges were $922.21 plus 114 days of non - compliance.
Officer Weixler had photographs he showed to the Respondent and Ms. Ellis.
Maturin Adaljuste, the Respondent, was present and requested a translator. Officer
Pierre served as translator. Mr. Adaljuste advised he did not know he needed a
demolition permit. Ms. Ellis inquired if he was in communication with the City and
learned he was not. Officer Weixler had handwritten notes on his posting indicating he
needed a demolition permit from the Building Department. He came by and spoke to the
tenants because he thought there may be a language barrier. If he pulls a demolition
permit, he would comply.
Decision
Ms. Ellis gave until Friday to pull the permit, if not, the fine would stand. Ms. Ellis
commented when dealing with civil matters they have notices and summons in different
languages as it seems to be an issue that was surfacing. The written notice could be
issued in different languages.

Officer Pierre presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent January 29, 2015,
and the case was heard on March 18, 2015. The compliance date and fine was May
17, 2015, or a fine of $100 a day thereafter. The violation still exists having 59 days of
non - compliance plus administrative costs of $634.12. Ms. Ellis reviewed the history of
the case.
Max Coombs, the owner, advised he received the Notice of Violation from Officer
Pierre. He called Officer Pierre four times and later learned he did not return his calls
because he was on vacation. He received the hearing notice on March 18, 2015. He
came to the hearing and met with Officer Pierre. Mr. Coombs requested time to satisfy
the complaint as he is responsible for his 99 year old mother. Officer Pierre agreed to
give Mr. Coombs 60 days and advised Mr. Coombs he would cancel the hearing and he
could go home.
Later, the instructions were not correct, so he wrote a letter to Ms. Springer and a copy
of the letter was sent to Ms. Ellis. He acknowledged the complaint needs to be satisfied
and closed. He requested Code Compliance specifically advise him what he needed to
do. To date, he has not received a response. He then hired a company to correct the
violations. Last week, the company advised him they completed the work and he
received a certificate of completion, which he provided to Ms. Ellis. The company did
not address the second part of the violation. At no time was there a safety issue or
public hazard.
Ms. Ellis asked if he obtained a Business Tax Receipt and learned he gave the
company representative the application. He submitted the application to the City six
weeks ago, but he did not want to put his social security number on a public record.

"Ralph" the contractor explained the roof was taken care of. The permit was applied for
and they needed to schedule an inspection. As to the Business Tax Receipt, he only
needed to schedule the inspection. Ms. Ellis reviewed the paperwork.
Officer Pierre clarified when Mr. Coombs went to the meeting he asked for a 60 -day
extension to comply. Officer Pierre did not say he would cancel the meeting because
he could not cancel a meeting. The property is a rental property and they have tenants
moving in and out. It has been an ongoing issue. Mr. Coombs asserted it was not an
ongoing issue.
Decision
Ms. Ellis was satisfied with the evidence presented by the Respondent regarding an
application for the Business Tax Receipt just needing an inspection and the roof
passed inspection. The certification of the fine will be contingent on passing the
inspection for the Business Tax Receipt. When that has been done, she will decide
whether to certify. If it passed, then no fine. She tabled the case to August.

Officer Pierre presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent March 4, 2015, for
the above violations. The case was heard May 20, 2015. The compliance date was
June 19, 2015, or a fine of $200 a day thereafter. The violations still exist having 25
days of non - compliance plus administrative fees. Ms. Ellis reviewed the case history.
Anthony Mays appeared at the hearing on behalf of the Alliance. Officer Pierre advised
the work was done without a permit and there were expired permit applications. They
hired an architect and were working on it.
Anthony Mays explained the Business Tax Receipt and permits were applied for in
January. When they came in March, she had the Business Tax Receipt which was
good to September, but they could not issue the Occupational License due to the red
tag. There was no work done without a permit application. The permit was issued
because of the drawings, but they were not picked up. When they spoke to the Building
Department, they said they needed a general contractor to come in behind the prior
contractor and assume responsibility. The drawings were drafted by Ramos and
Martinez, Architects in Miami. He explained in order to satisfy that permit, it has to be

Remove outside storage, trash and
debris from entire property. Apply for
and pass inspection for the Business
Tax Receipt and Certificate of Use for
your rental property.
Officer Shickles presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent March 4, 2015.
Albert Williams, the property manager, appeared. The compliance date and fine set
was May 30, 2015, or a fine of $200 a day would be imposed thereafter. The property
was last inspected July 14, 2015, and the violations still exist.
Ms. Ellis reviewed the initial inspection date was in March 2015. The violations still
existed in April. Albert Williams spoke at the May hearing and Ms. Ellis ordered a
compliance date of May 30, 2015. There is trash and debris, and the Business Tax
Receipt was still needed.
Priscilla Ortiz, a permit processor for the client was assisting with the violations and
advised all the storage and debris had been removed. Officer Shickles explained there
is a rolled up fence and a tire on the property. Ms. Ortiz explained that is at a different
address and the tires were gone. David Thause, with the DJV Management office,
explained the trash was addressed. Their engineer was present and they purchased 60
units in an old area. When they took over, most units were not habitable. They had to
fix the units one by one so people could live there. He had photographs.
Ms. Ellis explained this was heard in May and it was clear there was only 10 days to
comply. She asked if the storage and trash was removed from the entire property, and
Mr. Thause responded it was. Officer Shickles explained there is fencing on the south
side of the property, but the garbage was removed. He could not obtain a Business Tax
Receipt if the fence was still there. He consolidated the issues into one property and no
inspection has yet occurred. They applied for the Business Tax Receipt inspection
which was provided to Ms. Ellis, but they could not obtain the Business Tax Receipt
until Officer Shickles gives approval.

Boynton Beach, FL July 15, 2015
Ms. Ellis explained the Respondent had to schedule inspections for the Business Tax
Receipt and learned Ms. Ortiz had emailed Code Compliance, all the properties needing
to be inspected on Monday and Officer Shickles advised what properties he would
inspect. He inspected one, but it failed just from violations on the exterior. Ms. Ortiz
had a copy of the email listing the properties requested to be inspected which Ms. Ellis
reviewed. This list included the 136 NE 12 Avenue, the subject property of this
hearing. He did not conduct an inspection for 136 NE 12 Avenue and he had not
scheduled the inspection because when he called the representative, it was requested
the NE 10 Avenue property be inspected. Ms. Ortiz explained on the last page of her
email, Officer Shickles advised what addresses he would inspect. A representative was
there all day yesterday.
Decision
Ms. Ellis commented there have been attempts to comply. She gave until Friday to
conduct the inspection. If it does not occur or it fails, the fine will stand. She had a copy
of application for the Business Tax Receipt and the only thing pending was the
inspection to be done no later than Friday.

Officer Shickles presented the case. The Notice of Violation was March 13, 2015. The
case was heard May 20, 2015, and Albert Williams appeared. The compliance date and
fine was May 30, 2015, or $200 a day thereafter. The property was inspected, and the
violations still exist having 45 days of non - compliance plus $634.12 in administrative
costs. Ms. Ellis reviewed the violations and photographs Officer Shickles provided. The
violations were still occurring. A white van at the premises did not have a plate. There
have been three different vehicles at the property. The first vehicle was removed. Then
there was a van. Mr. Williams did not know where the van came from. The vehicles are
not parked on the property on a long -term basis and there are transients that are not
residents on the property. Mr. Thause inspected the property yesterday and there was
nothing there. All the original violations were removed. He had photographs. Ms. Ellis
advised there has to be better communication with the tenants of what is and is not
allowed.
Ms. Ellis noted when the property was originally cited for an unregistered vehicle, there
was a Mazda 323 there. Mr. Thause commented if a vehicle is illegally parked, it should

be towed. Ms. Ellis learned the trash was there as of yesterday. Mr. Williams explained
there is a store on the corner of Seacrest and MILK and outside, they have crates
people sit on. There is a sign saying no dumping there. They also purchased no
trespassing signs and have someone clean on a daily basis. Ms. Ellis explained all was
supposed to be addressed by May 30, 2015.
Decision
Ms. Ellis understood the area could be difficult to monitor and advised she will not certify
the fine, but if they are cited with a similar problem, she will fine them. Any trash or cars
must be addressed by Friday. Not even one beer can be on site or the fine will stand.

Officer Shickles presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent April 1, 2015.
The case was heard on May 20, 2015, and no one appeared. The compliance date and
fine set was May 30, 2015, or $200 a day thereafter. The property was last inspected
on July 13, 2015, and the violations still exist having 45 days of non - compliance,
accruing a fine of $9,000 plus administrative fees of $634.12.
Ms. Ellis noted no one attended the May hearing. Officer Shickles explained the trash
can at curbside, outside storage, trash and debris remained. They replaced the wood
fence, painted the fascia and the Business Tax Receipt inspection passed. Trash was
an ongoing problem. The trash should be placed curbside on Monday for pickup. Ms.
Ellis viewed photographs Officer Shickles presented to her and the Respondent.
Ricky Scott, the owner's son commented he lives on NE 10 and picking up trash was
a daily process. Had he known he wanted the containers and lawnmower removed, he
would have done so. He removed the large items that he thought were an eyesore.
He will put the trash can back, but the trash will be back tomorrow. It is not just the
tenants. People walk there and sit under the tree. Officer Shickles acknowledged this

is a property that at any hour of any day there is trash and debris. The owner has to get
letters to the tenants.
Ms. Ellis thought the City should review the matter because it is an ongoing problem.
Officer Shickles offered it is the owner's responsibility to maintain the property. There is
also a scooter. Ms. Ellis thought in order to correct these problems, something had to
be done on another level.
Decision
Ms. Ellis wanted all done by 1:30 p.m.. The fine will be certified if not addressed. The
problem was bigger than these cases and there should be rules or laws in place that
extend beyond the homeowner.

of the $446.03 fine for one occurrence. Officer Cain advised the Respondent
apologized for the one occurrence.
This matter would be addressed later in the meeting.

June 29th. Administrative costs were $442.06. UHauls were parking on the bike paths.
Ms. Ellis reviewed the history of the case
Mike, Field Relief Manager, for the company, explained they recently put no parking
signs up. He pointed out the UHaul employees were not parking the trucks on the road.
Customers who come from out -of -state park them there or drop them off at night. He
was unsure how UHaul could be sited because of the consumers.

Boynton Beach, FL July 1, 201
Ms. Ellis expressed it was important the customers are aware they cannot park on the
street and Mike emphasized employees do not let customers park on the street during
business hours. Ms. Ellis explained this creates a public safety issue. She
acknowledged it was difficult to control customers, but they must be aware of the rules.
She did not know if they could pass the cost on to the customer.
Decision
Ms. Ellis ordered the fine. Mike commented the only way to get the customer to pay
was for her to fine the customer. Ms. Ellis responded that was a company matter.
Jean, the manager understood the ticket is issued to the vehicle, not the establishment.
With the no parking sign up, the matter would be addressed by a ticket and not Code
Enforcement. Ms. Ellis suggested they speak to the City Commissioners about the
issue.

CO CH10 SEC 10 -3
Mow and trim all overgrown property
areas. Remove all dead vegetation,
trash and debris deposited on vacant
lot. Cease and Desist further over-
growth, trash and debris violations.
Officer Weixler presented the case. A Notice of Violation was sent on October 2, 2013,
for the above violations. The subject property was a vacant lot. The case was heard on
November 20, 2013, and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine was to
Cease and Desist by November 30, 2013, or a $500 fine per occurrence would be
imposed. There was an occurrence on June 26, 2015. The inspection fee was $96.03.
The affidavit of filing was $250. Ms. Ellis inquired why it took so long for the case to
come before her and learned the Cease and Desist Order was issued in 2013. Two
years later there was an occurrence.
Brian Fitzpatrick, the property owner, was curious how Officer Weixler became
involved in the case and if he had any photographs. Officer Weixler advised he
performed a routine inspection and had photographs which Mr. Fitzpatrick reviewed.
Ms. Ellis received confirmation from Mr. Fitzpatrick the photographs reflected the
condition of his property at that time. The tree trunk was gone the same day Officer
Weixler took the picture.
He inquired how Officer Weixler became involved with his case, and thought it was not
Officer Weixler's assigned area. Officer Weixler explained he is assigned to Zone 1, but
22
Meetings Minutes
Special Magistrate Hearings
B oynt o n Beach, FL July 1, 2015
the entire City was his territory. If he sees anything anywhere he could cite a violation.
He asked Officer Weixler if there was any conversation in the Code office about Mr.
Fitzpatrick as an individual and if he is assigned to certain properties or receives certain
directives before going out into the field. Officer Weixler responded no, it was a routine
inspection. Mr. Fitzpatrick asserted this was not a routine inspection as it was already
being discussed in the office prior to Officer Weixler being assigned to the case. Officer
Weixler believed there was a discussion, but not with him. Officer Weixler was told
there might be a violation and during his routine inspection, on his way to get gas for his
vehicle, he noticed the violation.
Mr. Fitzpatrick thanked Ms. Ellis for recognizing the problem that exists with properties
on Martin Luther King Boulevard and he had sent numerous emails to the City
Commission, the Mayor and CRA attempting to address the issues where people loiter
all day long. Part of the problem with this property was years ago, the City allowed a
non - profit to open across the street. They have no parking and they park on his lots and
throw trash on his lots. Two months ago, someone backed up behind a bush and
dumped laminated lumber, so he decided to clean the lots up and remove some bushes
to alleviate illegal dumping. He was in the process of cleaning up when Code got
involved. He commented cleaning is a time - consuming process.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asserted Officer Weixler received a directive from Code Compliance to
go to the lots. He commented normally Officer Shickles inspects the area, and he had
prior conversations with him about his progress. Mr. Fitzpatrick thought some people in
the Code Office were not happy with the way Officer Shickles was handling the matter,
so the case was given to Officer Weixler. He thought the handling of his case was an
abuse of the "Color of Law" statute, and his civil rights were being violated. He felt
personally attacked in his attempts to clean the lot. Mr. Fitzpatrick advised he has
permits in the Building Department to install a fence to prevent people from parking
illegally and throwing trash on the property.
Ms. Ellis inquired if he had evidence of any permits and was informed all the
documentation was in the Building Department.
Decision
Ms. Ellis explained if he could provide proof of the permits by tomorrow, 5 p.m. she
would not certify the fine. She acknowledged his good faith efforts to remedy the
matter, but cautioned, if not provided, she would certify the fine. Ms. Ellis thought this
had to be addressed by policy makers and acknowledged it was a challenge in areas
where people come and go.
Officer Weixler stated for the record he did not appreciate Mr. Fitzpatrick's allegations
towards him. He is a diligent worker and compromises nothing. He was just doing his
job. Mr. Fitzpatrick apologized for his lack of eloquence.

Property Address: 512 NW 9 1h Avenue
Violation(s): CH15 SEC 15 -120 (D) INC
Mow grass and weeds.
Ms. Springer advised there were two cases for the same address and she presented
the case. The Notice of Violation was sent on April 16, 2010. The case was heard on
June 16, 2010 and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine set was June 26,
2010, or $50 a day thereafter. The violations were corrected on November 30, 2011,
accruing a fine of $26,050 plus administrative costs of $634.12. Compliance was
confirmed in October 2011.
In August 2014, Ms. Springer received an email requesting a lien reduction inspection.
When they inspected the property, it was so badly overgrown the inspectors could not
conduct the inspection. In December 2014 an inspection revealed the Respondents
needed to reinstate a permit that had failed inspection, replace soffit screens, sod bare
areas on the front and west side of the property, remove or replace the fence on the
west side, there were six municipal liens over $3,000 that had to be paid and a water bill
of over $3,000 had to be paid. The property was again inspected in January 2015 and
only the soffit screens and the fence remained outstanding. They applied for the fence
permit and it was inspected. They still needed the soffit screens, but the property had
tenants so a Business Tax Receipt and Certificate of Use was needed. On June 8,
2015, all the violations were corrected.
Adam Seligman, Attorney for the former owner, was present and advised the owner
was Triune FL, LLC. Most violations occurred before they purchased the property via a
tax deed. They paid over $8,000 for nuisance fees, water bills and others and made an
unlivable property habitable. The property is now rented. It improved the neighborhood
and their property values. When they learned of issues they addressed them.
Decision
Based on the presentations by the City and Respondent, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien to
$2,500 plus administrative costs of $634.12.

the property which corrected the violation.
Attorney Seligman advised the same situation occurred with this property as with the
prior property. The violations occurred before purchase. He thought $500 a day before
they purchased the property was excessive

Based on the presentation, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien to $1,500 plus the administrative
costs.

Ms. Springer presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent November 13, 2012.
The case was heard on January 16, 2013, and no one appeared. The compliance date
and fine was January 26, 2013, or a fine of $200 thereafter. The violations were
corrected on June 25, 2015, accruing a fine of $175,800 plus administrative fees of

Springer was contacted in April 2014 for a lien reduction inspection. She sent a list to
Mr. Markins detailing the soffit screens needed to be repaired or replaced, replace
missing window screens, paint unfinished soffit and fascia. The Respondent had to
obtain permits for the work done without permits involving windows, kitchen plumbing,
air conditioning, a bathroom remodel, close off the window in the garage, and stucco
work in the garage enclosure. They had to remove trash and debris, repair a broken
water valve, repair broken and damaged fascia, repair the irrigation system and resod
the front yard. Ms. Springer was contacted again and the property was inspected on
April 10, 2015. They needed soffit screens and window screens. A re- inspection
occurred on July 9, 2015, and they were eligible for lien reduction.
Mr. Markins and Mr. Morekens Lowe advised they purchased the property as a
foreclosure and did not know how to handle the violations. They purchased it with the
lien. They thought they could fix all the violations and advise the City to inspect it, but
they did not know about permits. When they learned what they had to do, they paid the
fees and resolved the matter. They spent a minimum of $40,000, but they were not
sure if they wanted to sell it. They knew about the lien coming in, but when they got red
tagged they learned of the matter. The property is not rented. When he called the City,
they said the violation was for a garage and to clean the property.
