Frederic & Michele Mance 9 Bentwater Circle
Ms. Springer presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent on December 19,
2012, regarding a permit needed for remodeling including replacing doors, windows and
structural changes in the rear of the building. The case was heard February 20, 2013,
and Frederic and Michele Mance appeared. The compliance date set was May 21,
2015, or a fine of $100 a day thereafter. The violations were corrected on December 5,
2013, accruing a fine of $19,700 and administrative costs of $922,21. This case came
from the Building Department on December 6, 2012. The owner was issued a stop work
order.
Ms. Springer was contacted March 20, 2014 for a lien reduction inspection, but trees
needed to be trimmed, there was trash and debris, they had to sod bare areas, address
outside storage and paint the house. She was contacted again in August 2015 and they
needed to install four -inch house numbers on the home. There were torn window
screens, outside storage and horticultural debris. They were eligible on August 25,
2015, for the lien reduction.
Frederic Mance, the Respondent, commented he obtained the property through a short
sale. The property was in disrepair and they were making repairs and did not know he
needed a permit for the windows. They stopped work, got the permit and came to
inspect and they noticed the den which used to be a porch. When they purchased the
property, the den was already existing, but the Building Inspector said they put the den
up. Staff tied it all together and would not issue the permit until the den was completed.
It was a pre-existing condition. They purchased the property on March 12, 2015 only to
have the den ripped out and rebuilt. He had to sell his truck to pay for the repairs. Due
to the lien reduction hearing, they had to make the repairs faster than they could afford.
They purchased the property for $135,000. Ms. Springer explained they appeared at
every meeting except the last one. It was a very long process. They obtained the permit
and the Building Department advised the had addressed the issues so they did not
appear at the last hearing when the fine was certified.
Based on the testimony, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien to administrative costs of $922.21.
