Case No. 13-1820 Chase Home Finance LLC 405 NW 7t" Court
Ms. Springer presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent on August 21, 2013,
regarding registration of a foreclosed property, secure the property, mow, weed and trim
overgrowth, repair rotten soffits and remove trash and debris. The case was heard on
October 16, 2013, and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine was October
26, 2013, or a fine of $1,000 thereafter. The violations were corrected on April 27,
2015, accruing a fine of $547,000 plus administrative fees of $634.12,
Ms. Springer was contacted in 2014 for a lien reduction inspection. All the violations
remained outstanding. She was contacted several other times, and each time they
went out, they found the original violations and others. In November 2014, they had to
repair or replace a dilapidated fence, replace the gate, paint the fascia and house
numbers, install window screens, replace rotten wood on wash house door, remove a
Jacuzzi, obtain a shed permit, and pay outstanding water bills. Ms. Springer was
contacted in April 2015, by Margie Goldman and the violations were corrected, but the
following was needed for lien reduction: instal[ sod in the front yard, weed and replace
planter in the front yard, replace a broken mailbox, paint the fascia, replace missing
window screens, repair torn soffit screens, repair gate to the back yard on the north side
of the property, replace wood siding and the door on the utility room, install a screen on
the sliding door in the rear, pressure clean the building, driveway and walkway, and pay
two outstanding water bills. Ms. Springer was contacted in August and all was done,
except one permit had to be finalized. It passed inspection and the property was eligible
for lien reduction on September 2, 2015,
Margie Goldman Spadera, listing agent and bank representative, advised there is a
contract on the property for $110,000. Chase took ownership in December 2013, and
Ms. Goldman Spaderna became the listing agent in November 2014. They put the
house up for auction, and when she became aware of the violations, they addressed
them, The Bank spent about $7,300 to cure the violations and unpaid water bills. The
house was vacant for a prolonged period of time. Ms. Springer had before and after
photographs of the property the Respondent and Ms. Ellis reviewed. Ms. Ellis remarked
the property was beautiful. They listed the property the first of the year, and the Bank
auctioned the property. Someone purchased the property and the Bank wanted the
property listed. The property was under contract in July, She hoped with the lien
reduction addressed, they could close in October.
Decision
Ms. Ellis noted there were substantial improvements made to the home and she
reduced the lien to $3,000 plus administrative fees based on the property being
overhauled.
