Cem Ekmekci, Manager, said he applied for a demolition permit 20 days ago, and it
was accepted. He is waiting for inspection and will then begin demolition. Mr. Ekmekci
said he did not apply for the permit earlier because it took time to obtain a licensed
contractor and have him make the plan for demolition. Ms. Ellis noted the red tag was
issued in February and said there were many extensions.

violation still exists. As of today, there are 46 days on non-compliance at $100 per day
plus administrative fees in the amount of$634.12.
Officer Hart stated he did his last rental inspection on June 10, 2016, and spoke with
Mr. Najmabadi. There are still quite a few violations with missing window screens, a
large hole in the guest bathroom, and some drywall work that was done without a
permit. Officer Hart presented photos.
Mehdi Najmabadi, owner, said he understood the violation. He said he fixed the toilet,
but then was told to get the license for the rental. The house was under contract and
April 29, 2016 was the closing date — he said he was selling it "as is." The property did
not close, however. He got the Business Tax Receipt, but he did not have the
inspection done by the closing date. Mr. Najmabadi said he was informed as to what he
needed to do, and the contractor fixed "everything." Then he was informed he needed a
permit for the closet drywall work, but he said the management company had performed
the work. He was not clear if the property passed inspection.
John Kuntzman, Deputy Building Official, stated that a permit is required for removal
and inspection of the framing as well as drywall replacement. He said many issues
came up after the inspection.
Ms. Ellis reviewed the facts of the case, noting that one of the issues requires another
permit to be applied for.
Mr. Kuntzman stated that Mr. Najmabadi sent him a receipt indicating the plumbing was
fixed, but there was a leak in the apartment below. Mr. Najmabadi had told him he did
not need a Business Tax Receipt because he was evicting the tenant, but the tenants
were still residing there several months later. Mr. Najmabadi said the tenant had been
in there for a few years.
Ms. Ellis confirmed that the Business Tax Receipt he now has is expired, but he has
been collecting rent since its expiration. She asked the respondent why no one
appeared at the April 20, 2016, hearing, and he said he did not get the notice.
A signed green card dated April 4, 2016, for the hearing on April 20, 2016, was
presented to Ms. Ellis by staff.
Decision
Ms. Ellis certified the fine of$4,600 plus administrative costs of$634.12.

Tenant operating an adult congregate
facility without first securing a Business
Tax License and a Certificate of Use.
Officer Cain presented the case, which was a City department referral. The initial
inspection date was April 6, 2016. It is a repeat violator. Initial notice was April 6, 2016,
by written notice. Fourteen days were given to comply. Green card not signed. Date of
last inspection was June 14, 2016. There is no health or safety hazard. City
recommended 30 days for compliance or $100 a day.
Mr. Yannuzzi advised they had the same violation in 2015. The owner had a Business
Tax Receipt issue. They opened the case, and they complied. But now their tenant is
in violation of the same thing. The owner would be charged with the tenant's violation.
Joseph Dinof, owner of the property, asked for clarification of the violation. Mr.
Yannuzzi reviewed the history of the violations on the property.
Officer Cain stated that they had two violations when he went to do the inspection:
install sod (complied) and obtaining a permit for a window that was installed without a
permit. When the window permit issue is resolved and the lien addressed, the License
can be released.
Officer Cain reiterated the steps involved for the respondent to apply for the lien
reduction. Mr. Yannuzzi added that Mr. Dinof would have to be in compliance by July
13, 2016, before contacting him for the lien reduction paperwork, and reminded the
respondent that they had discussed this the previous week.
Mr. Yannuzzi asked for the name of the tenant, and Mr. Dinof said it was Jane's Way
LLC. Mr. Yannuzzi said they have applied for the Business Tax Receipt and Certificate
of Use, but it is in review due to the pending lien and the window issue.
Ms. Ellis advised that the permit for the window has to be approved before he can apply
for a lien reduction.
Decision
Ms. Ellis ordered a 30-day compliance date of July 15, 2016, or$100 a day.

Clean out storm drains and heavy
contamination caused by Howard
Fertilizer and Chemical Company. May
3, 2016 at 8:57 a.m.
Officer Cain presented the case, which was a City department referral. The initial
inspection date was April 25, 2016. It is not a repeat violator. Initial notice was May 3,
2016, by written notice. Three days were given to comply. Green card was signed, but
not dated. Date of last inspection was June 14, 2016. There is a health or safety
hazard. City did not have a recommendation at this time, but has a utility bill that
analyzed the substance dumped in the drain; the bill came to $703.99; he said they will
try to get that back. There is also a fine of$500 for the dumping.
Ms. Ellis reviewed the facts of the case, and Officer Cain stated the property is now
complied. Officer Cain presented photos.
Arsenio Rosado, City of Boynton Beach Environmental Inspector, stated he
conducted a routine inspection on April 25, 2016. He read from his inspection notes,
which indicated a spill had occurred. He showed the notes and photos to Ms. Ellis.
Mr. Rosado explained that the City was scheduled to sample the affected drain, but the
drains had been vacuumed out the day before. Because the targeted drain had been
vacuumed, they had to obtain a sample from the next available drain. No contaminants
were found at that site. He recommended that the company provide safeguards in
order to protect the storm network and the adjacent bodies of water. The safeguards
would be a secondary containment/enclosure for chemicals.
Ms. Ellis reviewed the facts of the case, confirming that Mr. Rosado thought Howard
Chemical would have been responsible for the dump. She reviewed the utility bill of
$703.99, noting that the City was asking to be reimbursed.
Michael Brooks, Compliance Officer for Howard Fertilizer, said they have never had
a spill in 21 years. He was not aware of the vacuum trucks coming out by Duke Realty
to the property and was also unaware of any storm water system protocol. He said it
was coincidental that the vacuum trucks came out at that time.
Richard Swindasz, property owner, claimed the "spill" was all speculative. Mr.
Rosado countered that he has photographs showing the spill. Mr. Swindasz said the
photographs were not "definitive."
Meeting Minutes
Code Special Magistrate Hearings
Boynton Beach, Florida June 15, 2016
Mr. Brooks stated that there would have been a dead area of grass if there had been a
spill, but there is no dead grass in the area. He added the chemicals take 90 days to
break down in the environment.
Mr. Rosado said the spill was right in front of their enclosure. The color of the liquid
around the basin was not clear, it was brown. Only storm water (which is naturally
clear) is supposed to go into the drain.
Mr. Brooks presented an aerial photograph showing the drains in question.
Ms. Ellis asked why the City went out to inspect, and Mr. Rosado said it was a routine
inspection. He reiterated the safeguards he recommended: secondary containment
and enclosure. In addition, they should select a different location for loading the trucks.
Decision
Ms. Ellis said that the incident raises her concern, even though they have not had
incidents in the past. She ordered them to implement the safeguards, but did not
require payment of $703.99 for analysis (since it was a routine inspection) or $500 fine
for the dumping.

clarified that he is advertising that the property will be ready within the next 90 days,
when the repairs are done.

the property.
Officer Hart told Mr. Souffrant that there were some broken outlets, and that may be
why he needs a permit to do the electrical work.

detectors were still missing. The City recommended 10 days or $200 a day.
Nabil Kishk, owner, explained he is evicting the tenant and the tenant is preventing
him access to the inside so that he can get a permit for the A/C. He said the tenant has
a large dog, and he is evicting the tenant for non-payment.

violator. Initial notice was April 18, 2016, by written notice. Ten days were given to
comply. Proof of service was by Certified Mail on May 5, 2016, and green card was
dated May 16, 2016. When the property was cited, it was occupied; it is now vacant.

day.
Ms. Ellis reviewed the facts of the case. Officer Hart said it would be a rental property
again at some point.
John Caya, Property Manager, stated that the property will not be rented. The owner
has homesteaded the property for a near-future move-in. He said the water is turned on
there, but there is no water being used. Therefore, no sewage is being created.
Officer Hart noted that while the property was being rented, they had already applied for
a homestead exemption. Mr. Caya said the tenants were being evicted simultaneously

Code Special Magistrate Hearings
Boynton Beach, Florida June 15, 2016
(on April 7, 2016), and the homestead was filed on March 31, 2016. Mr. Caya said they
did not have a Business Tax Receipt and Certificate of Use for the previous year. He
explained there was a lien from the last year, and they did not apply for a Business Tax
Receipt. Mr. Caya said Ms. Batey planned to move in there because the property is
"unrentable" due to the neighborhood and crime.
Officer Hart asked how long Mr. Caya had been the Property Manager, and he said
since she bought the property in April, 2014. He said she has never officially lived
there.
Ms. Ellis said if Ms. Batey is going to live there, the pipes have to be fixed because
there is potential for an environmental issue. The amount of time she lives there does
not matter.
Decision
Ms. Ellis ordered a 10-day compliance date of June 25, 2016, or $250 a day to fix the
pipes. Regarding the Business Tax Receipt, Ms. Ellis ordered proof of eviction to be
provided to the City by 5:00 p.m. on June 16, 2016.

Violation(s): CO CH15 SECT 15-120 (D) INC
Remove illegal, unpermitted fence along
the east side of the property.
Officer Weixler presented the case, which was a citizen complaint. It is not a repeat
violator. Initial inspection was March 28, 2016. Ten days were given to comply. The
home was posted on June 3, 2016. The owner admitted that the father installed metal
panels on the neighbor's fence. The property was last inspected on June 15, 2016.
The City recommended 15 days to comply or$100 a day.
David Laggim, owner, said he had been "playing phone tag" with the Officer and had
not received return calls. He explained that he has neighbor problems and wanted the
fence covered to keep cats from coming through holes in the fence. He also mentioned
they have two dogs. He screwed old sheet metal roofing to the existing fence on his
side. He said the Building Department told him the fence was too high in the front yard,
so he lowered it. The next communication was a notice to appear at this hearing.
Ms. Ellis advised if he has concerns about the animals, he could contact Animal Control.
Mr. Yannuzzi verified that Mr. Laggim is Heather's father. Mr. Yannuzzi said he had
emailed Heather back and forth, and had phone calls with her also. The neighbor was
cited for the fence. He said the discussions and email indicate what needs to be done.
Officer Weixler showed comparison photos he took of the fence, along with an aerial
view.

Remove the two inoperable vehicles
and all outside storage, trash, and
debris from the property.
Officer Weixler presented the case, which was a citizen complaint. It is not a repeat
violator. Initial inspection was April 21, 2016. Ten days were given to comply. The
home was posted on June 3, 2016. The vehicles have been taken care of: one has
been removed and the other has been tagged. Outside storage, trash, and debris
remain. The City recommended 30 days to comply or $100 a day. Officer Weixler
presented photos.
Robin and Jason Loftin, tenants, presented a notarized letter from the landlord
authorizing them to appear. Ms. Ellis noted that Ms. Shuping Ge, homeowner, gave the
letter to Robin and Jason Loftin to represent her during the hearing. Ms. Loftin said
they do not have a garage, so they are looking into a way to enclose the carport with
lattice to store some items (like the lawnmower). Officer Weixler said he recommended
that they speak to the Building Department before constructing anything. He added
much of the outside storage had belonged to their recently deceased father.
Ms. Ellis expressed concern that the process of enclosing the carport may take more
than 30 days, but Officer Weixler said he would be satisfied if they began steps to
construct a storage area.
Decision
Based on the testimony, Ms. Ellis ordered a 30-day compliance date of July 15, 2016, or
$100 a day. They can revisit the matter if it takes longer than 30 days.

Boynton Beach, Florida June 15, 2016
Officer Hart presented the case. Notice of violation was February 17, 2016. Magistrate
hearing and date was April 20, 2016, and no one appeared. The compliance date and
proposed fine set by the Magistrate was $200 a day starting on April 30, 2016, plus
administrative fees. The property was last inspected on June 14, 2016, and the
violation still exists. There are 53 days of noncompliance at $200 per day plus
administrative fees of $634.12. It is a rehab facility. He did not think application had
been made on either case, and inspection had not been performed. He first heard that
it was operating on February 17, 2016, and there has not been police activity to his
knowledge.
Upon a question by Ms. Ellis, Mr. Yannuzzi stated they are not supposed to offer any
services within the home, and there are only four residents. They are not regulated by
any organization as a residence. Per the City, MKC has applied, but their payment is
pending for both the Business Tax Receipt and the Certificate of Use and Occupancy.
Guilfort Dievil, son of the property owner, stated they had applied for the Business
Tax Receipt. He said they lease the property, and a family lives there. He said they
plan to have a Sober Home upon eviction of the tenant.
Officer Hart advised that when he cited the property, two young males came to the door.
They said it was an Adult Congregate Living Facility and sober home, and asked if they
were going to get kicked out. Officer Hart said it appeared to be an ACLF on February
17, 2016, and on June 3, 2016.
Mr. Dievil said it was not an ALCF at this time. Ms. Ellis asked if he had a written lease
with the tenants, and Mr. Dievil replied in the affirmative, but he did not have it with him.
Officer Hart stated that whether or not it was a sober home, it still needed a Business
Tax Receipt and Certificate of Use and Occupancy for the rental. Ms. Ellis explained
the process to Mr. Dievil.
Ms. Ellis asked why no one appeared for the April, 2016, hearing, and Mr. Dievil said
they were not aware of it. Officer Hart said a registered letter was returned, but the
property was posted on April 8, 2016. He said perhaps the tenant saw it, but he did not.
Officer Hart said the letters were sent to Lorette Pierre, 777 S Flagler Drive, West Palm
Beach, but Mr. Dievil said they have not been there since three years. A notice also
went to MKC Investment Group at 1915 N Congress Avenue, West Palm Beach. Mr.
Dievil said the 1915 should be 1949. They also sent a notice to P.O. Box 740533 in
Boynton Beach. Mr. Dievil said that was the correct P. O. Box.
Ms. Ellis reviewed the facts of the case, noting rent has been collected without a license
since February, 2016.

Officer Weixler presented the case. It was an inter-office referral from the Police
Department, and Officer Weixler said there was an incident at the address. They were
told it was an ACLF and they have had many occurrences. He presented a document
stating that the location was never found for an occupational license. Notice of violation
was March 7, 2016. Magistrate hearing and date was April 20, 2016, and no one
appeared. The compliance date and proposed fine set by the Magistrate was $250 a
day starting on April 30, 2016, plus administrative fees. The property was last inspected
on June 14, 2016, and the violation still exists. There are 46 days of noncompliance at
$250 per day plus administrative fees of$634.12.
Ms. Ellis reviewed incident reports from the Boynton Beach Police Department
pertaining to the subject property.
Ms. Ellis asked Mr. Dievil how many homes he owns in Boynton Beach, and he said his
wife and mother own less than 10 homes. He said some are rented, but some are
homesteaded.
Ms. Ellis remarked that this case is similar to the previous one. Mr. Dievil replied that it
had to do with not receiving the mail. Ms. Ellis said he was not in full compliance. Mr.
Yannuzzi stated that they had applied for the licenses earlier in this day, and the City
has not done its inspection. This location was posted in the same manner as the other
location on April 8, 2016, for an April 20, 2016, hearing. On June 3, 2016, it was posted
for this hearing. He gave a new address for the Corporation: 8757 Baystone Cove,
Boynton Beach, and Mr. Dievil said that was a legitimate address. Officer Weixler
stated he had four pieces of mail returned. Ms. Ellis said the City followed their protocol
in checking the address, and the property was also posted.
Decision
Based on the testimony, Ms. Ellis certified the fine of 46 days at $250 a day plus

Case No. 15-2225 Stephen Colucci & Angela Perry
Property Address: 1240 SW 20 Ave
Type of Property: Single-family home, non-homesteaded
Violation(s): CO CH 15 ART 10 SECT 15-121 and
124
It is unlawful for any person who is
required to register as a sexual predator
or sexual offender under the laws of the
State to establish a permanent
residency or temporary residency within
2,500 feet of any school, designated
school bus stop, day care center, park,
playground, or any other place where
children regularly congregate.
Officer Hart presented the case. Notice of violation was October 8, 2015. Magistrate
hearing and date was March 16, 2016, and Mr. Colucci appeared. The compliance date
was May 15, 2016, and proposed fine set by the Magistrate was $50 a day plus
administrative fees. The property was last inspected on June 14, 2016, and the
violation still exists.
Officer Hart presented an email letter from Mr. Colucci's attorney that he received the
prior day, and Ms. Ellis read it into the record. The letter was from Elizabeth Parker, an
attorney with the Kaplan Sconzo and Parker law firm out of Palm Beach Gardens. She
said she has been trying to track down the original documents pertaining to his arrest in
the State of Maine in 1997. She said the Maine Statute changed after Mr. Colucci was
sentenced, and she believed that incorrect information had been provided to the State
of Florida regarding the provision that Mr. Colucci was sentenced under. Ms. Parker
said she was working with the State of Maine for a legislative history, and she will
provide the information to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, hopefully by the
end of June, in an effort to get them to rescind the sex offender registration
requirements.
Mr. Colucci said the State of Maine is no longer requiring him to register, and Florida
has a Statute that if he does not have to register there, he should not have to register in
Florida. The attorney is trying to straighten it out. Officer Hart verified that at the last
hearing, he said he was going to move, but Mr. Colucci felt something was wrong and
hired an attorney.
Ms. Ellis stated that because he had said he would move, but now there is a change in
circumstances, the case has not been resolved yet. Mr. Colucci said the FDLE will
probably take some time to review the information coming from Ms. Parker, so the case
may not be resolved by the end of June. He said he had received an email from his

attorney stating that the State of Maine had given Florida the wrong code for his arrest.
He also stated he was approved by the City to purchase his home and live in it.
Decision
Ms. Ellis certified the fine of $50 a day plus administrative costs, but when it is cleared
up, he can apply to get the lien removed. His attorney would need to contact the City to
inform them of the status of his case (whether he is permitted or whether he is leaving).
She requested an update by the end of June, 2016.

Boynton Beach, Florida June 15, 2016
Brandon Weitzman, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Castillo, advised that their delay in
responding was because of personal and financial hardships due to a separation. Ms.
Castillo was living out of State, and they complied as quickly as they could. Mr.
Weitzman explained they owned the home since the original violation, and they are
trying to resolve liens before possibly selling the home. The property is valued at
$100,000, and Zillow said it was worth $136,000.
Mr. Yannuzzi said this case came into compliance in less than three months in 2008.
Mr. Weitzman described the circumstances leading into the next case.

Mr. Yannuzzi presented the case. Violation date was December 20, 2010. Magistrate
hearing and date was February 16, 2011, and no one appeared. The compliance date
was March 3, 2011, or $100 a day. Date complied was May 26, 2016. There were
1,910 days of non-compliance at $100 a day for a total of $191,000. There were 4
inspections for a total administrative cost of$384.12, and affidavit filing costs of$250 for
a total administrative cost of$634.12.
There were also two inspections done for lien reduction request. The first request was
on March 21, 2016. There were no outstanding water bills, property taxes, or other
monies due to the City. An inspection was done on March 24, 2016, and numerous
violations were discovered. A re-inspection was done on May 26, 2016, and all issues
complied.
Brandon Weitzman, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Castillo, stated that personal and
financial hardships (namely the divorce) prevented them from appearing earlier. The
divorce resulted in them not communicating for several years. Mr. Castillo remained on
the property. On the day of the lien reduction hearing, a statement was made regarding
Mr. Castillo's cousins living on the premises that resulted in them being removed from
the lien reduction hearing. The case sat dormant for three years. He believed they did
not appear because there was no communication and they did not understand the
severity of the proceedings, and they thought they were in compliance. The unit was
never rented out — it was family members living there. He had made a statement that
the cousins were assisting in paying the mortgage, which was incorrect. They had been
co-habiting.
