Ms. Springer presented the case, The Notice of Violation was sent on March 6, 2013,
regarding a permit for demolition work and to remove mold and drywall. The case was
heard on May 15, 2013, and no one appeared. The compliance date and fine set by the
Board was to correct the violations by May 25, 2013, or a fine of $500 a day would be
imposed thereafter. The violations were corrected on November 21, 2013, having 179
days of non-compliance for a total of $89,500 with administrative fees of $634,12.
Ms. Springer was contacted in December. At that time, the property met the
requirements for lien reduction. In March, the attorney appeared and the case was
tabled because there was inadequate information.
Tamara Walters, JP Morgan Chase, explained the violations were corrected and she
had the required receipts for all the work. The property was under contract with the
closing to occur on April 1 8 th . They were unaware the fine was $500 a day, and
corrected the violations as soon as possible.
Based on the testimony of the City, the Respondent is in compliance, and looking at the
receipts and the amount expended, to-date, she reduced the lien to $3,500 plus
administrative costs of $634.

There were outstanding taxes and water bills that had to be paid. The owner had to
obtain a Business Tax Receipt because he was renting the property. He needed to
replace the missing glass on the front door, mow the yard, replace the soffit and paint it,
replace the fence in the rear of the yard, remove trash and debris and replace the
mailbox. He was then eligible for lien reduction.
When the Officer inspected the property in October, he was ineligible as other violations

the case was taken off the agenda. Currently, the property is barely in compliance for
