476 days of non-compliance, accruing a fine of $23,800, plus administrative costs of
$922.21.
Ms. Springer was contacted in May for a lien reduction inspection and a section of the
fence needed to be repaired. Three days later, the violation was corrected.
Alex Saadi, SFRH SF Rental LP, explained there were violations added after they
addressed the original ones that were cited. They addressed all immediately. The
tenants were uncooperative and there were unregistered vehicles. Mr. Saadi advised
they invested several thousand dollars in the property.
,Decision
Based on the testimony, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien to $3,000, plus administrative costs
of $922.21.
Case No. 14-1905 Joseph K. Maiuro 27 Crossings Cir. B.
Ms. Springer presented the case. The Notice of Violation was sent August 12, 2014, to
abate mold in the residence. The case was heard on October 15, 2014, and no one
appeared. The compliance date and fine was October 25, 2014, or a fine of $100 a day
would be imposed thereafter. The violations were corrected on April 10, 2015, having
166 days of non-compliance and a fine of $16,600, plus administrative costs of $730.15.
Ms. Springer was contacted in April for a lien reduction and the inspection showed the
Respondent had to replace screens, missing landscaping in the courtyard, address
mold and pressure clean the exterior of the building. The property was re -inspected on
April 24, 2015, and only pressure cleaning the outside of the building remained. She
was contacted again on May 26th and the property passed inspection.
David Roy, P.A., on behalf of Mr. Maiuro, commented this was a significant mistake
for his client, who owns 14 units in the Crossings. The tax records show his old address,
which he moved from in 2000. The tenant was vengeful and did not notify Mr. Maiuro of
any violation notices mailed to the property. The tenant was evicted in March and the
violations were corrected within 30 days. He advised although the community has a
HOA and exterior walls needed HOA approval, they were able to address the exterior
wall.
Decision
Based on the testimony, Ms. Ellis reduced the lien to $500, plus administrative costs of
$730.15.
The clerk administered an oath to all those intending to testify.
