Ms. Springer was contacted in August and all was done.
Brian Shutt, Esq., on behalf of the property owner, explained this was an
administrative oversight on behalf of his client. All violations were in compliance. There
was no impact on the neighbors or neighborhood. They have another item on the
agenda and the townhouse was up the street, in the same townhouse complex with the
same issue. They dealt with a leasing company to rent the property. Emails to the
client and the leasing company showed they were trying to schedule an inspection and
there were issues gaining access due to the tenant, Attorney Shutt's client was
working in New Jersey remediating the effects of Hurricane Sandy. When they
returned, they addressed the issue in October. They became aware of the lien when
they attempted to sell one of the units. With the lien, they would be upside down. The
deal was falling through and Attorney Shutt requested a reduction to zero as it had no
impact on the community.
Given the testimony, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien to $1,000 plus administrative fees.
