the impression that as long as car was in the driveway it was okay. Husband has had a
stroke, cars belong to her daughters who visit frequently. Ms. Mays says she cannot
afford the fine. Ms. Zalman explained how lien reductions work once the fine is certified,
however, since Ms. Mays did not sign a previous green card and extenuating
circumstances, half of the fine was entered, or$729.56 including fee. The lien reduction
can still be applied for.

Case No. 19-379 Alma Fuidio
Property Address: 25 Kensington Ln
Type of Property: Single family, homesteaded
Violation(s): LDR CH 2 ART 4 SEC 2.8.2
Obtain permit for addition being built on the rear of the
home, being constructed without permits. Construction
has been deemed unsafe by the Building Official.
Officer Hart presented the case. Notice of violation date March 6, 2019. The Magistrate
hearing was on May 15, 2019, no one appeared. Compliance date given was July 1,
2019, or $200 per day plus administrative fee. Property last inspected on August 20,

and continues to accrue daily.
Alma Fuidio, owner, appeared, stating the permit has been applied for, one person
approves the permit, then next week someone else declines approval. Would like to keep
the room and make corrections, but cannot work with architect when they do not know
what is or isn't being approved. Ms. Zalman advised the architect should be in
communication with the City to avoid misunderstandings. Owner asked for two weeks
extension. Officer Hart believes the problem lies with the structure not meeting the
required setbacks for the building; because there is electrical in the structure, a permit
may be needed to take the structure down. Once the building is in compliance,
Respondent can apply for a lien reduction hearing, and Ms. Zalman explained the process
and to work closely with the City.
Decision
Based on the testimony, Ms. Zalman certified the fine of$10,834.12, and will continue to
accrue at $200 a day.

assessed and administrative cost of $730.15, for a total of $262,230.15. Owner of

David Schmidt, attorney representing property owners, stated the owners were
unaware of the lien until the time of attempted sale. Tang Services is a New York
company, the notice of violation was mailed and returned, and when posted, the tenant
did not give the notice to the owners. When served to the registered agent, said agent
claims no recollection of having received it. The needed inspections never were
scheduled ("fell through the cracks"). The property was purchased by one of the
corporation members in 2005 for $215,000; the current contract to sell is $167,000, with
appraisal of $129,000. Owner has paid all BTRs up to date (2017), property is currently
vacant. City recommended reduction of 10%-5%, as property was being rented without
obtaining BTR until two years ago.
Decision
Based on the testimony, Ms. Zalman reduced the lien to $15,112.65, including the
administrative fee.
